COULDN'T STAND THE TEST.
Self-consttuted Hero Quailed Before
 Wooden" Adversary.

A good story Is going the rounds on well known young man whose courage has never before been doubted. The young man in question lives at fash ionable boarding house and was wont to recite deeds of valor in which he al- ways figured as the hero. In order to try his nerve several of his friends decid- ed to put him through a test and to that end secured a discarded cigar sign in the shape of a retired Indian chief, which they smuggled into the young mans room. The "chief' was put to bed with just enough of his head show ing above the snowy sheets to leave 10 room for doubt as to his identity in the mind of anyone who should chance to look in upon him.
 The unsuspecting, but dauntless hero, after reciting anew his deeds of valor, retired to his room to spend the night in peaceful dreams. He carefully unlocked the door and entering the room lit the gas. At first he did not look toward the bed, but when his eyes glanced in that direction there was a quick movement, the door flew open and well known" young man was seen to egress and make a nasty retreat down the stairs to the hallway, where his friends had gath cred. There was a recital, an explana- tion and declaration of vengeance.

The Lesson of the Lenten Season.
 Services During Week

At st. Pauls church yesterday large congregation attended each mass Father o'Reiily reminded the faithful that next Wednesday. Friday and Saturday would be Ember days. He also reminded hls hearers of the Wednesday and Friday night services; preaching on Wednes- days at 7:30 D, m. and the Stations of the Cross Fridays at 7:So D. m. Full attend ance at these Lenten services was urged
 At the late mass Father O'Reilly preached a short but eloquent and edify- ing sermon on the gospel of the day found in the fourth chapter of St. Matthew Christ tempted by the devil and fasting forty days and nights.
 Christians should pray and lead good lives at all times, said the preacher, but in thls season of Lent they should recon socrate themselves to Christ and not only pray fervently but give more time than ovar 10 pious meditation. He concluded with very tender appeal to those Catl- ol.cs who had neglected their duties, broken the commandments wandered far away from the church and fallen deep in sii to return to God with contrite heart and resolution of amendment, do pen tance, and be saved.

The work of rebuilding the fence around the local base ball park at Sev- | enth street and of rebuilding the grand stand and the bleachers will begin about March 1. As soon as the fence is re- | paired the work of leveling up the grounds and rolling the diamond will be- gin.

 The playing season opens May 1.

A Magnificent Statement.

The Equitable statement for 1900, pub lished today, shows many gratifying and acceptable features. Among these are the increases in Outstanding Insurance in Surplus, and in Income; the amount of dividends paid to policy holders, and most of all, the decrease in expenses Sur rounded as is the society by competition Of the strongest kind, the success of the step taken at the beginning of the year toward a more equitable distrbu- tion of the agents commissions; was re- garded with considerable scepticism. The end has, however, fully and magnifcently vindicated the means; for not only was the Equitable's business larger in 1900 than in lS99 but it was conducted at much less rate of expense to it's members. Continued progress along this line will hut the more firmly establish the So- ciety's claim to be the best to assure in.
 The large increase in Assets during the year was greater than the increase in lia- biites. As a result the surplus of the Society is greater by $5,00O,0O0 than at the beginning of the year. It's Assets amount to $3O4, ,59S O63, of which over s66,- 0o0,G00 is surplus, being a larger surplus than that held by any other company and hence the Society's claim that 1t is the strongest life insurance company in the world cannot be disputed. The So- cety can justly be congratulated on it's maenilicent achievement during the past year.

Frank Daniels.

Frank Daniels, who bears creditably the journaisticly conferred title of "the funniest man on the stage,' will be at the Jefferson Theatre next Friday for the first time here in comic opera. The vehicle in which he will display his tal- ents this season is a new comic opera entitled "The Ameer' Last winter in. New York, the press pronounced it the comic opera hit of the season. He is reported as saying that he likes the op- era better than he did any of it's prede- cessors He enacts the title role and his interpretation Is understood to be very funny indeed. The story is laid in Afghanistan on the grounds of the Ameer It Is described as decidedly ori- ginal. Fred M. Ranken and Kirke La Shelle are it's authors and right cleverly, if those who have heard the tale can be relied upon, have they done their work. MT. La Shele is also the author of the light opera hit '"The Princess Chic" Victor Herbert is the composer of the music of "The Ameer." That means of itself an evening of fresh, delicious melody, stirring choruses and ringing fnaleS. The locale or the opera edSlly lends Itself to picturesque and splendid stage representation. And of this oppor- tunity Manager La Shelle is credited with having most promptly availed him self. The production is of an elaborate character and the company has been en- larged until it numbers over sixty peo- pie. Moreover the increase in numbers is said to be along the lines which have gained for Frank Daniels the reputation of having the prettiest and best singing choruses on the road. Helen Redmond, over whose beauty and singing San Fran ciscoans raved last season, is Frank Dan iels' prima donna. Kate Uart, the su- perb contralto, and Norma Kopp, the nimbic soubrette, are also with him. Among the principal men of Daniels support arc Rhys Thomas, Will Dan forth, owen Westford and William Cor liss. The forthcoming engagement Will afford the only opportunity for seeing the Daniels company this season. Clarence West is the musical director

AMUSE ENTS.

From the point of view of funmaking the most successful attraction in Amer ica, "The Rogers Brothers in Central Park" will be at the Jefferson Theater next Wednesday night. It is also the most profitable, that is, the theater req turns wherever it appears are enormous. laughter, and this show is able to pro- duce it. It is remarkably free from all coarseness, too. This quality separates it from a great many that have found success with the crowd John J. Me Nally, the Boston newspaper man who has shown such a happy knack in devis- ing ways and means for his stage enter tainment such as the Rogers brothers affect, has become rich from the royal ties of his pieces. The Rogers brothers themselves are the drollest pair on the vaudeville stage, and the material which MT. McNally supplies them is deliciously new and thrilling. Klaw and Erlanger, who direct the business fortunes of these popular idols, surround them with
 
 including a chorus of sixty, so that there is never break in the gaiety and effect of the proceedings from the beginning to the end of the performance. Even be- tween the acts the spirit of entertain ment never flags, for Maurice Levi, the musical director of the company, directs the orchestra through a medley of danc- ing tunes that follow. Isadore Rush, so favorably known as the associate of Ro- land Reed, is now the leading woman of the Klaw and Erlanger Comedy Com- pany. Grace Freeman, Louise Royce, Jeanette Bageard, Edith St. Clair, Emma Francis Will II. West, Lee Harrison, Johnny Page and Arthur Gibson are prominent In company of seventy-five. The performance is peculiarly effective in stirring laughter. The production is im- portant and showy and there is nothing more fascinating for an evenings enjoy ment of light entertainment than may be found in this bill of "The Rogers Broth CTS in Central Park
