A Tale With Heart Interest.
The Jennlcos.

tunity of spending pleasant
evening on Tuesday, Nov. 26tb,
at the Vendome Opera House
when a strong cast will present
s'The Pride of Jennico."
The story told in play is one of
love and pride, and the struggles
and tribulations which are brought
about by the meeting Of two such
opposing passions. Unlike the
"Lady of Lyons" in which the
pride of the woman is the theme
of discord, here we have that of
the man, Basil Jennico. We find
him at the opening of the play in
his castle at Tollendhal which has
just fallen to him as the heir to
his uncle, q grim old warrior of
English birth, who had taken SER
vice under the banner of foreign
Prince, and made the hereditary
Lord of Tollendhal and its castles
and domains The old man was a
stern, war-wOrn veteran and his
undying characteristic was pride.
pride of race, pride of birth and
of an unsullied ancestry. His on
" demand upon his nephew, Basil,
was that this line should be pre-
served as in the past, and his dy-
ing injunction was in regard to
any future alliance-ssNo base
blood, Basil, no base blood''
With this command ringing in his
ears he finds himself, by q chain Of
accidental happenings, the host of
two young women. the Princess
Otilie of Dornheim and her maid
Otllie Pahlen. They had been
delayed in a journey past Tollend-
hal and in q madcap spirit the
Princess masquerades as the
maid, and forces the maid, much
against her will, to assume the
character of the Princess. The
real Princess in her role of ser
vent is so witching as to win the
.ove Of Basil, and is not slow t
to recognize the fact. But Basil
in his blindness and pride and
moved by his uncle's dying com.
mand aspires to a union with the
Princess, as he supposes her t
be. and is encouraged by the rea
Princess, who tells him he hal

Basil upon this assurance doe

masquerading maid, who pretend

FALLS FROM "RED DEVIL. "
WHILE WITH MIR. VANDERBILT IN HIS

OUT AND FRACTURES HIS SKULL.

Hampstead, y. Y. Dec. . tSpecial).-W. y.
Thompson of Manhattan. who has been occupy
ing the country place Of Mrs. c. Albert Stevens
in the Wheatley Hills for the last few weeks
was very seriously injured this afternoon at the
entrance of the Queens Nassau Fair Grounds, at
AIineola as the result OF being thrown with ter
rife force from the Red Devil the speedy au-
tomobile of William K Vanderbilt. jr. Foxhall
Keene was also in the vehicle. but was not in
jured
Mr. vanderbilt took his machine out early in
the afternoon from his country house at Garden
City. He drove the Hampstead Plains and
then north over the Wheatley Hills to the homes
of Mr. Keene and Mr.. Thompson both of whom
are enthusiastic chauffeurs. The trio then went
back in the auto" over the Hampstead Plains
and as they passing the County Fair
Grounds one of the party suggested that they
make a number of trial trips, which they at once
proceeded to do.
The track is a half mile, and rapid time
made the first mile being in nearly 66 seconds
The second mile was made in better time and
the third in 62 seconds. After driving the ma
chine around the grounds. Mr.. Vanderbilt pro-
posed that they go to Garden City. Mr. Thomp-
son and Mr.. Vanderbilt were sitting in the front
of the machine and Mr.. Keene on the back seat
AS the machine was leaving the grounds at
lively clip Mr. Thompson leaned well
the left side, thinking that the automobile would
turn to the left and he would thus keep his bal
ance on the narrow seat. This Mr. Vanderbilt
did do He turned the auto" abruptly to
the right. toward the Hampstead Plains. Mr..
Thompson lost his balance and pitched from the
machine and thrown fully twenty feet be-
fore he struck. squarely on the top Of his head,
and eve witnesses say that it remarka bile
that he was not killed instantly. He was, how
ever. seriously hurt, and was partly unconscious
when Mr.. Vanderbilts machine was backed up
to the scene Of the accident.
Mr. Thompson taken to the Nassau Hos
rital where il found that the injured man
was suffering from fracture of the skull,
number Of bad scalp wounds and a broken nose.
The machine was going al high speed when
the accident happened, and, luckily Mr.. Thomp-
son fell on the soft sod, from which the warm
sun had eliminated all frost. Had the injured
man struck frozen ground or the macadam
road which was but a few feet away his In
iuries would have been far more serious.
