are eagerly sought. Doubtless in response
to just this sort of curiosity-and a most
legitimate curiosity it is-are published
such books as American Authors and
Their Homes and Little Pilgrimages
Among Men and Women Who Have Writ
ten Famous Books" The former volume is
a beautiful book however awkwardly L
have said i) for It has included half tones
of photographs of the homes of every au-
thor whose sketch appears. The subject
matter has not, perhaps, included as much
personal data as an admirer would care to
read of his favorite author, but the volume
fills it's purpose of giving a brief glimpse
into the home life Of many favorites. The
Little Pilgrimages Among Men Who Have
Written Famous Books although it stag
gers under it's long title, is likewise a valu-
able volume of this kind. 1t is worth while,
this getting acquainted with the men who
have written great books. though the list
OF authors included in the volume may
seem longer than is applicable to just that
term. 1t is a good book to read and to keep.
Later on the publishers promise a similar
acquaintance with the women who are
worthy of a like cataloguing in flames gal.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia most exciting
race between two dramatic companies re-
Gently took place In England. IL seems that
the London branch Of the New York pub
fishers of Monsieur Beaucaire' were In
structed 10 take out a copyright on the
play. "Beaucaire." based upon the book.
The copyrighting process is somewhat IN
volved in England when a play Is con-
cerned. it being not only necessary Tor cop
les of the production TO be deposited IN the
British Museum, but the Official censor
must read the play and a regular bona-hde
dramatic presentation must be given. Inc
aforesaid London agent had scarcely un-
dertaken his task of securing the copy
right when he heard that there was at
least one other party in England bent on
the same purpose. likewise the unknown
ootber Marty heard Of the copyrighting
intentions of the agent. Then began the
r,ce Two dramatic companies were Sc
cured and two suburban theaters engaged
Cor the performances two tickets for each
nrescntation were sold "a necessary condi-
tion, and two anxious managers rushed
tbeir people through the plots and scenes.
when the dust had cleared away, each RI
xa1 marty claimed the copyright. There was
adherence of a few minutes and both
sides claimed the advantage. Finally the
rival narties agreed to a joint conference
o,d n few DAYS ago met for the first time
Imagine the surprise OF both when they
learned that each had the same object In
view. Mr.. Booth Harrington, the author o.
.ho hook had asked his publishers TO Sc
cure copyright on the play IN England anu
Mr. Richard Mansfield. who has the play
ing rights in the dramatized version asked
his brother who was then in England 10

claimants got together and decided TO call

his play.

Even the rodents were out to see "Alice
Of Old Vincennes" when it was here re-
Gently. though 1 doubt if this fact would
have added to the popularity Of the attrac-
ton for the matinee crowd If it had been
known. I was sitting pretty we'll back in
the house at one of the afternoon per-
formances with c. W. Smalley, of Dunkirk
when, during one of the interludes, a half
grown rat scampered across the middle
aisle and across our feet, going down the
row to our left. where none but women
were sitting. What a beautiful chance
for a stampede" suggested Smalley, but
luckily we were well under the shadow of
the balcony, so the small visitor made his
way to his destination under the skirts of
and unnoticed by the preponderant femi-
nine portion of the audience.

SMALLPOX WARNING.

To the People Of Yorkville and York
County:
q MALLPOX is epidemic on a large
- scale in the southeastern part of
the county. The situation is so serious
as to threaten a general spread OF this
most loathsome disease.
On Monday night, the 18th instant,
a meeting Of the members of the YORK.
willie town council, the Yorkville board
Of health, and the presidents Of the To-
cal cotton mills, was held in the York
Vile town council chamber FOR the
purpose of considering the situation IN
it's relation to the comfort and safety
of the people of the town and commu-
nifty.
After due consideration Of the situa-
ton as it is now presented in the ligh.
Of past experience, it was decided that
although the town and community are
gravely menaced, there is no recourse
or reasonable hope Of protection out
side of general vaccination.
Pursuant to instructions from the
conference, I hereby urge every indi-
vidual citizen Of the town and commu-
nifty, white and black, male and female.
to submit to vaccination forthwith, and
by the same authority I also request
that physicians Of Yorkville and COM
munity give their valuable assistance
in persuading the public Of it's danger
and informing 1t Of its only reasonable
hope Of immunity.
From the information developed, I
am persuaded that the situation Is very
grave, and upon my own motion I beg
to express the hope that the recommen-
dation above outlined will be carried
into effect without opposition and
with the least possible delay.

Mayor Of the Town OF Yorkville.
