NOTES FROM KelTH'S.

Manager Lovenberg OF Keith's today
secured the exclusive rights for the pro-
duction of Secret Service" the great
military drama by William Gillette and
the most popularity successful of all his
famous plays. Very few plays accessible
10 stock companies for presentation are
held at so high royalty as Secret Ser
vice. and IL I'm undoubtedly the most
elaborate and pretentious production that
will be- made I'm Providence during the
present season. There are no less than
81 characters in the drama and large
corps OF auxiliaries Is also required, to
say nothing OF special SCENERY and other
features that will make the production
n most notable one. IL is a matter of in
terest. too. that Mr.. Walter Thomas OF
Albee company will be seen in the role
IN which for two years with MIR. Gillette
he won such great popularity. The eX
act date Of the production Is not yet an
nounced. but IL will undoubtedly be seen
before the end OF June.

Inelegancies of Speech.

they are exceedingly dlsyracefuI i'm the

Journal Beyond mere correctness OF

beautiful choice of words. and there are
hall-marks OF culture which the rich vo-
cabulary shows. while the meagre one
convicts of ignorance and poverty OF re-
source. Colloquialisms and provincial
isms are caught by those who live con-
stantly among the unlearned but the in
fuence OF this contact may be modified

Woman Without Curiosity Died
at Age Of Seventy Two.
MRS. THORPE WAS NOTA GOSSIP
Never Talked shsut Nslghhors Affairs,
HMsr Saw q Railroad Train or Electric
Car Utter indifference Her PullsE

New York, May 25-The one woman
who wasn't curious died yesterday In
Flushing. She was Mrs Hester S. Thorpe.
aged seventy-two.
She never looked over fence.
She never gossiped or asked questions
about her neighbors.
When the Flushing Town hall was built
nearly Atty years. ago and every one in
the place let on fireworks. and attended
the big picnic In honor of the event Mrs.
Thorpe refused to 60.
I'm not curious" she said.
And although the Town hall was only
a few blocks from her house she never
set eyes on II.
She never got q glimpse OF the Sol
dier's monument, put up just after the
war. and although Flushing talked OF
nothing else for months. She wouldn't
ever look az pictures OF IL or listen to a
description OF A.
Mrs. Thorpe prided herself on the fact
that she had never seen a railroad train
or trolley car. although lines of both
ran within a few blocks OF her. and said
that she didn't want 10 see them
Mrs. Thorpe's vow never to go out
side her gate and her love OF cleanli-
ness often came 10 conflict. When she
swept her steps and path temptation To
clean the dusty, Uttered sidewalk outside
grew upon her. bat always she resisted IL
and stayed within the limits she had ap
pointed for herself.
Her husband died about a year ago,
leaving about $4,000. She produced a will
by which ne left everything To her. "A
little later another will was found div1d-
ing most OF the property among relatives
and bequeathing only "A very little TO her.
Mrs. Thorpe did not complain. Members
OF the family provided for ner She had
no curiousity as TO her future mainten-
ance.
She was a daughter OF the late David
Osterman and when a girl was adopted
by II. Thorpe Smith.

And so our old time friend A. G.
Probert has got himself into trouble
again, and according to the Wash
burn News, the Governor of Michi-
gan was hung in effigy the other
day by the Judgment citizens of
Borbon, India no, because he refused
to honor the requisition papers of the
governor of Indiana, and deliver the
BODY of Probert to the authorities of
that state. 1t would now be becom-
ing for the citizens of Kentucky to
hang the governor of Indiana, not in
effigy but in reality, for not deliver
ing the notorious murderer Taylor.
Friend Probert unintentionally or
otherwise may have done wrong, yet
we are confident he is not a murder
err or the instigator to crime of this
magnitude. Can Taylor say as
much? The Governor of Indiana in
shielding q criminal of the Taylor
stamp, deserves not only to be hung
in effigy, but in reality. Those who
live in glass houses should not throw
rocks. A. f. w.
