presides at the keyboard and manipu-

The cylinder is slit at intervals with
perpendicular channels less than Il

WHEN KNIGHTH0OD WAS IN FLOW
Err.
The Great Historical Novel to be North
American Series.

nulOIICdu DCIIoS.
The most remarkable historical novel
i'll recent years, When Knighthood
Was in Flower, is to appear III the
Sunday North American in the form of
Il serial story. The opening chapters
will be out on April g.
Never before has any newspaper Sc
cured for publication in its columns
novel so recent and yet so successful as
this one. Julia Marlowe, now appear
ing as the Princess Mary Tudor in a
play written from the book is scoring
the greatest hit in her brilliant career
upon the stage.
In writing When Kpighthood Was
in Flower, Mr.. Charles Major fixed
upon the most romantic spot in the
most romantic period of English history,
the time of Henry VIII, as setting for
his book. The story thrills with the tend
er, pure love of Kings sister for an
untitled but heroic young Englishman.
The hero loves the heroine in spite of
his fight against his passion. Their
pitiful struggles to avoid one another,
their noble sacrifices the one for the
other, touch the most hidden string of
human sympathp.
Brandon and Mary, knowing consent
to their marriage could never be OBJ
tanned from her brother, the King, elope,
with the intent of yOyaging to America.
Although she is attired in men s clothes,
the Princess sex is discovered, and Bran
don, holding an entire ships party at
bay, defends her from the sailors attack
until their captain rushes to his aid.
The elopers are captured by the King
soldiers, and to save Brandon from be
ing beheaded Mary marries King Louis
of France.
Queen Mary rescue by Brandon from
a palace in which after Louis death she
has been imprisoned by his successor,
who loves her, but has been rejected, is
| among the most thrilling Incidents in
| the narrative. This eliminates in their
marriage There is a secondary, but
none the less charming love story rum
ing through the book.

David Harum."

Charles Frohman will present David
Harum" for one night only at the Opera
House, on Wednesday evening, April
10Th, it being announced as an exact
reproduction of the play that ran all
last season at the Garrick Theatre in
New York. A more successful drama
tization of a successful novel has never
left New York, the most critical being
at a loss to pick flaws of any kind in it
either as comedy or a production. Some
books lend themselves readily to the
dramatic scissors and paste pot, but the
thread of the story of David Harum was
difficult to follow for stage purposes
and nobody expected the immense sue
cess that started in from the very first
night The secret after all was the hui
man nature of the main character, willy
David Harum." Nothing of the orig
inal character Of David Harum. in the
phenomenally successful novel is missed
in the character as seen in the play ii
might be said seen in the flesh, every
tone and gesture, every touch of tender
ness and hint of pure mischief, and
above all the sound horse sense are EN-
bodied in the acting part, and are easily
and gladly recognized even by those
who have never read the famous book
The dramatization has the sound merit
of portraying in an ineligible theatri
cal form every detail of the book relat
ing directly to David that could be put
to use in play.

er is placed in a receptacle opposite
the revolving cylinder a plunger
thrusts line by line, into channel
which is not already full, at the same
time extracting the lead and dropping
it into a receptacle below. As the
cylinder moves around over the sta
tionary section the letters are drop
ped down one by one into their own
channels ready for the operators use.
Although the channels are filled in
discriminatory no letter will leave the
own channel in the lower cylinder.
This is accomplished by having each
letter and character niCked III a slight
ly different manner, and the lower
channels are fitted with projections or
wards to correspond. The principle
is the same as adopted i'll fitting Yale
locks and keys. Thus the letter "a
will remain III its place i'll the revOly
ing cylinder, passing by every other
channel until it reaches the "a" chan
mel when it drops instantly into its
place on top of the other IS. The
upper cylinder halts fraction of
second at every channel of the lower
cylinder and exactly over it, thus Civ
ing the letter time to drop into its
place.

SEWERS
DISCONNECTED
One Cause Of Lawsuit for Continuation Of
Nuisance Removed.

Blizzard run is rid of one source
OF pollution. The sewer connecting
the dwelling on Walnut street owned
by the Saul Lyon estate and into which
four other drains open has with the
consent of John b. Mccoy, acting for
the estate, been discontinued. On
Thursday last Street Commissioner n.
B. Deem dug down to the sewer at two
points, breaking it and cementing 1t
shut Ii would be impossible there
fore to use the sewer and it Is proba-
bly, permanently out of use.
This is the only sewer that empties
into the stream above the Blizzard
property and was the one cause of
their complaint. But one source of
pollution above that point now re-
mains and that is the p. l.. Brewery.
The closing of the sewer is regarded as
quite a triumph by the anti-sewer
people Its construction was authorlZ-
ed by resolution of council and 1t
was doubted whether the present
council had the authority to close it ;at
least whether the owner having gone
to the expense Of constructing tit
is 80 feet long-wOuld submit to such
action without litigation. AS stated
above, however, the sewer was discon-
tinued with the owners consent, so
that there will be no trouble on that
score
The anti sewer people will next de-
vote their energies to getting rid OF
the waste at the brewery, their aim be
ing to purify the stream above the Biz
zard property in order to relieve the
borough of additional law suits for
continuation of nuisance" without
going to the expense of sewering the
town What success they will meet
with remains to be seen.

WHO Is PORTER ]. WHITE 2

While in reality there are few better
and more favorably known stars before
the public than Mr. White, and it is for
the benefit of those who do not call to
mind the brilliant young stars career,
which reiterates an experience of un-
precedented success, covering period
of almost quarter of century, and yet
this powerful young star has not at
tanned the age of 81. He received his
histrionic education from a school of
artists to whom we must bow i'll rever-
ence our heads of pride, those who We're
looked upon by the thespian and liter
ary world, as the grandest and noblest
delineators of the writings from the i'm
mortal Shakespeare, and Dumas Know
les, which were no other than Booth
Barrett, Irving, Charlotte Cushman,
Thomas Keene, Daniel Bandmann and
others When but boy Mr.. White re-
ceived his instruction from these mas
tiers but later he appeared with great
success throughout all the important
city stock companies, including Boston,
New York, Philadelphia and San Fran
cisco; later, and for FIVE years, was star
ring at the head of his grand scenic
production of Paul Kauvar, which
met with unprecedentedsuccess through
out the United States. Three years ago
he inaugurated his present grand and
magnificent production of Faust out
rivaling any and all attempts of the
other prominent stars in the piece.
His production, as it stands today,
represents an outlay of over 500 600 and
stands alone, the peer of all semi-specta
cular productions of Faust ever at
tempted.
