As From The Dead.

Philadelphia, May 27.-There is
rejoicing today in the home of Frank
Bishop, BUSINESS man of Mana
yunk, residing at 4356 Main street.
After being in state Of trance for
nearly thirty-siX hours, Mr.. Bis hops
two year-old boy opened his pretty
blue eyes this morning and
smiled upon the anxious face of his
mother who was bending over his
crib. To DR.. Melerlsch, of Lyccum
and Manayunk avenues, the parents
attribute the saving Of the chiId's
life.
Little Christian, for that is his
name, went to bed at his usual hour
Saturday evening apparently In the
best Of health. When Mrs. Bishop
awoke yesterday morning and went
over to the little bed where her son
was sleeping, she was Mortified to
find his body still and cold. She
placed her ear to his heart but no
heart beats were audible. A watch
crystal placed at the mouth was not
moistencd lie was' apparently
dead.
There was much lamenting in the
family, the mother especially being
nearly crazel with grief. The news
of the little ones death spread in the
neighborhood, and the house was fill
ed with sympathiz.ng friends. An
undertaken living nearby called to SO.
lcit the order and Mr.. Bishop was
about to make arrangements for the
funeral when some one suggested that
a physician be called in.
When DR.. Mclerisch arrived he
thought his presence unnecessary,
but in a perfuuctory way applied
some measures, which to the Joy of
the parents, resulted in the body
showing signs of life, Under the
doctors treatment the boy went into
q peaceful slumber in the afternoon,
which continued until O'Clock this
morning.

DAILY REPUBLICAN, wI1ANGroN MONDAY
House Gle AIMING Time has Come Again
For the Daily Republican.
A woman whose as iovelv

a WOMAN whOSe ID lovely
AS 1t is possible to he
TO her Hubby, except
Two weeks In a year.
But when its house cleaning time,
And with her rights then,
Hubby must not interfere.
She's then bound to have
Buckets, soap, water, brooms, and
Scrub bru shes in the middle of all
Halls, all rooms and all stairs.
And all the chairs piled up
On all sofas, beds, tables and d.
vans,
For in housekeeping time
She for nobody cares.
When house cleaning is on,
HuOby's no business to say =
A word to his spouse;
Or to get in her way,
Ard if in a scrub bucket
lie doth step on the stairs,
He must not whisper a word
That amt pious to say.
II he comes home to dinner,
(Which he should never dog
When house cleaning is underway,
He's no right to expect
Her to greet him and say
I'm glad you have come,
| have nice hot dinner,
Prepared for dear hubby, today.
If he does he's fool,
As we married men know
That in house cleaning time,
A man has no rights.
His wife is bound to respect
For from time immemorial
Two weeks in each year,
A wife must her husband neglect t.
Bobby Burns truly said
ga woman when she will,
She will and for that
You may depend on it
And when she won't,
She won that's an end on it,"
And woman IN house cleaning time
Will do as she wills and that S the
end Of 1t.
Now my dear married brothers
Please take my advice;
In house cleaning time,
just take to the woods:
Let your wife reign supreme
And have her own way.
Though in housekeeping, she
Doth DIES troy one half Of your goods
For when she's done cleaning
She II be as meek as a lamb;
And she'll fondly calcss you,
And she very sweetly will say
Now house cleaning is over,
My dear hubby, we now
Will be loving and happy
Till next house cleaning day.
Our women, God bless them
They're Gods best gift to man
And in house cleaning day
Let them have their own way,
AS they're entitled thereto,
Equally as much as a man.
So in house cleaning day
''Ily the COOP get away.

Peter F. Daley and company of nine
members, presenting "a o.ess Rehears-
al" sort of pocket edition of Cham
payne Charlie" is the principal card on
the programme at the Chase house this
week Mr.. Daley. in spite of his constant
increase in { -1irdupois. is as graceful
and supple as ever in his dances. while
his voice retains its ability to cope with
the style OF song he affects and his humor
is a source OF much delight even to those
who believe a proper appreciation of TIE
comedians efforts to be an acquired
taste. There evidently is a story in the
Offering, but it does not intrude itself
enough to interfere with Dailey's many
'asides" that are part and parcel of his
work. The only thing Of especial COM
ment Is why such company should be
really thrown away. as the limitations of
the piece force the capabilities of nearly
the entire cast into the background. The
musical part, besides Mr.. Dailey's songs,
is contributed by Mae Lowery. Mollie
Thompson, and Ed Garyie.
Two other offerings in the line of
sketches ~ this weeks bill are Uncle
Phineas." given by Mr.. and Mrs. Kelley,
which has a rather clever idea for fOunda-
tion, and The Bifurcated Girl" played
by w. II. Murphy and Blanche Nichols.
The programme also includes John d. Gill
bert, an uncommonly clever comedian;
Janet Melville. and Evle Stetson, two
very amusing women; Hendrix. Prescott,
ard Little Matorie in a dancing act. and
Mile. Ami. a daring trapeze performer.

A crowded house greeted THE Village

night. The story is a beautiful one, por-

der the most trying of circumstances. The
scene is laid in the South, and as the
title Of the piece indicates. in one of its
many pretty villages.
The title part Is well taken by Walter
Montague, who is ably assisted by Anna

two Gordons. make as pretty a pair of

The CoIumbia-"The Red KIoof.u


1t was to lie expected that sooner or
later the Transyaal would furnish a theme
for a drama hy some prolific playwright,
and that it should fall to the lot of Paul
NJ. Potter was not surprising. But that
the exponents of that form of farce com
edy described by the vague expression
translated from the French" should Sc
lect it as play In which to exploit their
well-known talents is somewhat of 4
surprise. And yet Louis Mann announced
some time ago that he was bent upon
producing more serious plays than he had
yet appeared in.
IL is likely, therefore, that THE Red
kloof." which was presented for the first
time in Washington last night at the Co
lumbia Theatre. is only an snte-culmina-
tion Of the aspiration of this broken Eng
lish comedian Since the appearance OF
Mr.. Mann and Clara Lipman in The Tele-
phone Girl few seasons ago this pair
has gradually been drifting away from
the questionable Gallic atmosphere. Their
ambition is commeDdable.
''The Red KIoof' was presented last
evening before az audience that laughed
and seemed to enjoy the performance.
II was apparent that Mr. Mann and Miss
Lipman retain their hold upon the large
clientele that they won by their efforts
in the past, but whether the spectators
