WILMINGTON THEATRE.

play with a heart story, true to ma
ture. romantic, and vet consistent, is to
be- the next attraction at the Wilmington
Theatre, commencing Thursday. September
is. We refer to the comedy drama,
"Pennsylvania," which is the joint au-
th)rshlp of Daniel l.. Hart. whose par
ish Priest 'Melbourns," and 1.-THE
Jucklns" have placed him in the front
rank of dramatists. and Of G. Il. Gala
han. whose Coon Hollow" "Fogg's
Ferry" etc. have given him a similar
Prominence. The new play is founded
upon a most ingenious plct turning upon
law peculiar TO most mineral states, and
certainly so to Pennsylvania, which
makes void a conveyance Of ore unless
specified in Il deed of land.

Changed His Tune,

1t is said that when President Polk
visited Boston he was impressively re-
Ceived at Faneuil Hall market. The
clerk walked In front of him down the
length Of the market announcing in
loud tones: Make way, gentlemen, for
the president Of the United States. The
president Of the United States! Fellow
citizens. make room"
The chief had stepped into one Of the
stalls to look at some game, when the
clerk turned round suddenly and. find.
ing himself alone, suddenly changed
his tone. and exclaimed: "My gracious!
Where has that darned idiot got to?"

with regard to the longevity Of deer.
What says the highland adage?
Thrice the age OF dog is that Of a horse,
Thrice the age Of horse is that Of man,
Thrice the age OF man is that Of deer,
Thrice the age Of deer is that Of an eagle.
Thrice the age Of a. eagle is that Of an oak tree
This Is to assign the deer period Of
more than 200 years. and the estimate
is supported by many highly circum-
stantial stories. Thus Captain Me-
Donald of Tulloch, who died In 1776,
aged SO years. Is said to have known
the white hind Of Loeb Trieg for so
years, his father for like period before
him and his grandfather for 60 years
before him. So In 1926 Macdonald of
Glengarry is reported to have killed a
stag which bore mark on the left ear
identical with that made on all the
calves he could catch by Even -Maclan-
OF, who had been dead 150 years. Anal
ogous stories, 1t may be noted, are told
in countries on the continent OF Europe,
where deer are TO be found in any
number.-Chambers' Journal.
