EIOrOdOra the English imported mu-
steal comedy which dur

ing the past two years has won such phe-
nomenal popular success on this side of
the ocean, madoits new local bow at the
Chestnut Street Opera House last evening.
For fortnight this production will CON
tinue its reign of tuneful merriment here,
and all indications are that it will be no
less popular than was the case last season,
when two distinct companies drew large
audiences, the one at the Chestnut early
in the fall and the other at the Opera
House in the spring. The presenting
company will number many 'Florodora"
favorites, but special interest will centre
in the portrayal of the role of Lady Holy
rood by Grace Dudley. Miss Dudley ap
peared in the original London production.
and is credited with having scored dis
tinct hit there, while she is said to give to
the role piquant new charm peculiar to
her own winseme self The famous
double sextet will, of course, be a prime
feature, and the chorus is promised to fair
ly rival the original Beauty" gathering
which contributed so largely to the popu-
larity of the piece.

The Toreador


the Chestnut Street Theatre, and those
who have not already enjoyed this gor-
geously spectacular and delightfully."-
merry musical comedy should lose no time
in securing seats. For four weeks this
London Gaiety piece has drawn series of
crowded audiences to the Chestnut and
there is every reason to believe that
similar state of affairs will continue
throughout these farewell weeks of the
engagement. As the quantity comic lit
tie tiger" who becomes involved in such
a hurry -burly of adventure in bull-fight
loving Spain, Francis Wilson is winning
new laughmaking honors daily and his
topical ditty 'The Hall of Fame" his
grotesque dances and his general funmak-
ing work have earned for him great ap-
plause at each performance. Another
prime comedian in the excellent cast is
Joseph Coyne, whose portrayal of the role
of the slowthinking English lordlet is
irresistibly funny. William Broderick
sings finely the brilliant and melodious
toreador's song and the other ballads
which fall to him; Christie Macdonald
has several dainty songs in which she
also presents most winsome figure in
the boys masquerade.

WAIIACk'C The one big dramatic
event of the New York
season is the phenomenal success of Hen
rietta Crosman in 'The Sword oil the
King" at Wallack's Theatre. Everybody
who keeps. in touch with affairs Of the
theatre looked for some notable achieve
ment from Miss Crosman this year. Her
record of former years led to this natural
expectation. But her triumph in 1.-THE
Sword of the King eclipses all previous
undertakings. II is a conspicuous fact,
one of which any artistic may Justly be
proud, that every New York dramatic
critic without single exception in writ
ing of the opening performance of 1.-THE
Sword of the King" gave unqualified
praise TO Miss Crosman and pronounced
her without a peer. Such unanimity in
eulogy is without precedent in New York
dramatic writing. All agreed that Miss
Crosman is seen to greater advantage as
Philippa Drayton in THE Sword of the
King" than in any role she ever played
That the public is of like mind is proven
by the attendance at the theatre New
York is generous when it finds something
it likes, and that it likes Miss Crosman
and 1.-The Sword of the King" he big
audiences testify. Indeed, the demand
for seats is so great that Miss Crosman
will give Wednesday as we'll as Saturday
matinees. This arrangement will be a
boon to suburbanites who thus will have
the better opportunity to see this star and
comedy as they are sure to do before she
leaves Wallack's, and the opportunity
will last none too long, either, for the
engagement is limited The play is
sumptuously staged and mounted and
nobody will visit New York without see
ing Miss Crosman in her brilliant success.

A PRIZE essay recently read before the
Society of Political Inquiry, Morristown,
on the qualifications for the office of Sher-
if, declares that ''the Sheriff must be a
man of integrity, of moral worth and of
sound judgment; man of business ex-
perience whom all self-respecting men
can fully respect; aman whose affiliations
and sympathies are all with the moral and
uplifting elements in the community
Joe Bower is all of this He has lived
among us for several years. and his bust
ness and personal integrity have never
been questioned. There is no doubt
about his being man whom all self re-
specting men can fully respect" Not
only can they do it, but they do respect
him. He has sufficient respect for law
and discipline to effectively discharge the
duties of the office of Sheriff. while at the
same time possessing sympathy and feel
ing to an extent to prevent his being a
prosecutor. Joe Bower is just the man
for the place, his fitness is admitted by
al ANo WOuucI DcinOCfhb CduuOL De
found willing to oppose him.
ALL HOPE of electing the Democratic
ticket has been abandoned by that party
and it is said every effort is to be concen-
trated upon the Office of Steward of the
Almshouse The Democrats are express
ing willingness to make any trade or
deal to get votes for their candidate
What they have to offer is not clear, and
the Republicans are not in a position to
necessitate consideration of any offer of a
deal All of our candidates are sure of
success The other side has gone com
pletely to pieces. Four candidates have
publicly declined TO run. The candidate
for Congress was given the nomination
because nobody else would accept it,
Those who will remain in the fight are
evidently indifferent to results. Mr. Bur
tbs, who is opposing Steward Harbert, is
said to have hope that something will
happen whereby he may slipi in. Like the
boy who was kicked by mule, he will
know more after election. There is not
the slightest reason for change in the
management at the Almshouse. George
F. Harbert has made a good Steward and
has given faithful and satisfactory rec
ord Of his stewardship We cannot better
the matter by making a change Re-elect
him.

A WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
Terrible Experience OF a Hunte
With an Indian Band,

Terrible Experience of q Hunter
With an Indian Band.
One Of the most remarkable instances
of the escape Of white man from the
Indians was that OF John Golfer, a ia
nous hunter and trapper. On the day
in question he and his companion were
surrounded by 600 savage warriors,
The companion was instantly killed,
and Golfer was captured. His foes had
no intention Of saving his life, how
ever. They wanted the sport Of put
ting him to the torture or at least of
playing with him as u cat plays with o
mouse. The chief asked him IL he
could run. He said, mot much.'
He was released and told to save his
life if he could.
Golfer darted away at high speed,
and most of the 600 savages set off aft
er him. There was plain before him
six miles wide, bounded on the far side
by river friDged with trees. Golfer
had always been famous as a runner
and his practice now stood him in good
stead. Hc made straight across the
plain for the stream, and the yells Of
his pursuers lent him wings. His foes
had removed every shred Of clothing
from his body, and the plain was COW
cred with prickly pears, so that his un-
protected feet were lacerated at every
stride.
Half way across the plain he glanced
back and saw that only few Indians
were following him. Again he ran on
and soon realized that one of his ppr-
suers was nearing him. He redoubled
his efforts, and blood gushed from his
nostrils and flowed down over his
breast.
The fringe of trees was near, but a
hasty backward look showed him the
pursuing brave close upon him with
spear raised. Moved by a sudden Inn
pulse, Golfer stopped, turned and faced
the savage with outstretched arms.
The Incl v-::.s so taken aback at
this unexpected movement that he
stumbled and fell! This was Golfers
opportunity. He ran back, seized the
spear and, pinning his antagonist to
the ground, ran on.
Other savages came on, fiercer than
before at the death of their comrade,
but Golfer reached the trees, plunged
into their midst and then into the river
and swan to pile of driftwOod that
had lodged. He dived beneath it and
stuck his head up between two logs
covered with smaller timbers and
brush.
The Indians came up and searched
for several hours, but failed to find
him. Again and again they walked
over the driftwood. Luckily they did
not fire it. as he feared they would.
At last they went away. Then Golfer
swan out and fed through the forest.
Seven days he went on, living on
roots and berries, with no clothing, un.
til at last he reached trading post on
the Bighorn river. He never fully re-
covered from the effects of this terrible
experience.-Youth's Companion.

Lamartine, the great French poet,
was happily married and received
great aid from his wife in all his un-
dertakings.
The great Dante was married to a
notorious scold, and when he was in
exile he had no desire to see her, al
though she was the mother of his six
children.
Wolfe is said to have written ''The
Burial of Sir John Moore" in one even
ing directly after news had been
brought of the defeat at Coruna and
the death of the gallant British officer.
A friend of the late Walter Besant
relates that the novelist always kept
on his desk before him a list of the
characters of the novel he happened to
be at work on, their relationship and
appearance.
Hans Christian Andersen formed his
style by narrating his stories to vari-
GUS groups of children before he wrote
them down. His one thought was to
become famous, and he was very care
full not to make any enemies.
Dickens says in the introduction to
David Copperfield" that he spent two
years in the composition of that novel.
He did not usually require so long a
time, many of his novels being finish
ed in less than year and most Of his
shorter stories in a few days.

His Bank Signature.

A case for handwriting expert was
noticed at one of the downtown banks
the other day. A treasurer of one of
the many charitable organizations of
this city had received check to be de-
voted to that certain charity, and he
was desirous Of acknowledging it, but
could not read the signature. He took
the check to the bank on which 1t was
drawn and questioned one Of the clerks
as to the signature and was told that
1t was genuine. but could not get the
desired information. 1t was next TAX
en- to the paying teller, who also de-
clared that 1t was genuine. but even he
could not make out who 1t was and
had to consult the card catalogue.
There was not the slightest resem-
blance between the signature to the
check and the real name.-New York

HARD TO GET STARTED.

Things Which Overcome a Writer
When Beginning hn Article.
There is a feeling of timidity that
oftentimes overcomes a writer when
beginning an article. AS in writing a
letter, it is getting started that puzzles
1t is the custom to begin with slow
moving piston and work gradually into
full speed until the flow Of words is
free, and then the difficulty with some
of us is to find the brake valve. Again,
a writer sometimes discovers that his
beginning is more fitting ending, and
vice versa. The newspaper style is to
throw general conclusions up strong
under the headlines, while the sermon
izer reserves them until his final eli
max.
Thackeray remarked once that he
could never tell exactly what he was
going to say until his pen was in hand
and under motion and then did not fully
realize just what he was saying until 1t
was written. There is q subconscious-
ness that shapes writing as 1t does
speaking. This, know, disturbs some
writing-as to weighing everything and
then measuring 1t out as a druggist
compounds a prescription-but my OBJ
servations are that the preparation is
more in getting full of subject and
then letting the mind work free under
the impulse Of the dominating idea.
There are as many ways and meth
DDS in writing and speaking as there
are individuals, and yet the fundamen-
tai law In the transmission of thought
and speech runs largely in the same
groove, whether it be the jargon of the
Hottentot or the polished periods Of
the scholar. Human nature has its
own primitive impulses that defy all
rules Of rhetoric and the power Of ex-
pression-that is. the power, mind you
is deeper seated than any artificial
formula Of stylists. - National Maya

OUR PRESIDENTS.
Only One Impeachment and but Two
Resolutions of Censure.

Only One Impeachment and but Two
Resolutions of Censure.
Andrew Johnson was the only presi-
dent of the United States ever i'm
peached, and on the trial before the
senate he was acquitted, the vote in
favor Of conviction barely falling short
of the necessary two-thirds.
Two resolutions of censure on the
president have been passed, once by
the senate and once by the house, on
occasions when the hostile majority
was not large enough either to pass
measures over the presidents veto or
to impcach him.
The first was passed by the senate on
March 2S,' 1884, censuring President
Andrew Jackson for alleged violation
of the constitution and laws by his re-
moval of the government deposits from
the United States bank. The majority
of the senate was opposed to Jackson
in his war upon that bank, and this
vote of censure was the only thing
they could do about 1t. Jackson pro.
tested against this resolution as q
charge to answer which no opportunity
could be afforded him. The senate re-
fused to receive the protest. Finally,
on Jan. 16, 1887, the resolution of CEN
sure was expunged from the journal
of the senate.
The second resolution Of censure was
in report adopted by the house from
the house committee to which Presi-
dent John Tyler's message vetoing the
tariff bill of 1912 had been referred.
This report censured the president for
alleged improper use Of the veto power.
Tyler protested against this, as Jack
son had done before him, but he had,
as member of the senate, voted
against receiving Jackson's protest,
and in answer to his protest the house
sent him copy Of the senate resolu-
tion ON the former occasion.

Making Errors.

A Massachusetts, business firm prints
this paragraph at the top Of its letter
heads: "Errors-we make them; SO does
every one. We will cheerfully correct
them if you will write to us. Try to
write good naturedly If you can, but
write to US anyway. Do not complain
to some one else first or let the matter
pass. We want the first opportunity to
make right any injustice that we may
do" The little sermon deserves wide
audience. Few people have not had oc-
casion at some time in their lives to re-
gret the sending Of harsh or hasty
note of complaint 1t may be necessary
to assert ones rights in subsequent let
ters, but there is no better rule Of cor
respondeIfce than to make the first one
good natured.-Youth's Companion.

The "Bado Boya.

The "bad' boys are often the best
boys in the neighborhood. All they
want is a chance to do something.
Don't expect healthy, active boys to
want to be tied up in books and SO
called improving occupations continu-
ally. If boys are not given good ideas
to work upon, such as they always get
In kindergartens, manual training and
other up to date schools, they are sure
ito be in harmful mischief, because
boys with vim and get there" in them
are bound to be busy. Give them tools
and materials to work with; encourage
them to make sleds, carts, boats and
various kinds of playthings. Don't
ever give a bad boy up. Give him
something to do.

Animals and Salt.

Among certain people there is q
strong idea that nothing is worse for
dogs than salt, but as a matter of fact,
when administered in small quantities,
it materially assists the process of di-
gestion. There is no doubt, however,
that to give dogs or any other animals
broth or pot liquor in which salt pork
or bacon has been boiled would be al
most equivalent to giving them a small
dose of poison. The use Of salt among
horses, cattle and sheep is advocated
by the highest veterinary authorities.
Pigs, on the contrary, are extremely
susceptible to the poisonous influence
of the agent and experiments have
been made which had, after small
doses regularly administered, fatal re-
suits. Habitually, as matter of course.
all animals consume certain portion
of salt, as it exists in certain proper
uons in most articles Of food.-London

kctunl Count Increases the Numbes
to Fifteen.
Ii is popular joke to say that there
rrc but six horses in Venice, four over
thesportico of St. Marks cathedral and
two bronze animals of heroic size, one
beStrcde by Victor Emmanuel and the
other by General Colleone. But this is
q mistake. There are four other
horses, also of bronze, in the Church
of st. John and st. Paul, and quite q
number of plaster and marble in the
different public buildings, making alto
gether at least fifteen or sixteen. Rus
kin and other competent critics have
declared the statue of ColleOne to be
the best equestrian monument ever
cast in bronze. 1t was designed and
cast by Andrea Verrocchio, painter,
sculptor. jeweler, engraver, poet and
musician. man of infinite genius,
whose greatest fame lies in the fact
that he was the instructor of the great
est artists of all Michael
Angelo. Raphael and Leonardo da Vim
ci. The statue of Victor Emmanuel is
uOt 81 highly Thought OF.
The horses on the top of st. Marks
are famous and have had trying ex-
perience. They date back to the pre-
historic age and are supposed to be the
work of a Greek artist named Lyssip-
pus and designed for sculptured char
lot. They were taken to Rome during
the empire and first used as ornaments
upon triumphal arch erected by Nero
and afterward by Trajan. The EN-
peror Constantine took them from
Rome to Constantinople, where the
Doge Dandolo seized them as loot and
brought them to Venice. When Napo-
leon entered the city in 1897, he had
them taken down from the roof of the
cathedral and shipped them In wagons
over the Alps to Paris. They served
as ornaments upon the triumphal arch
in the Place du Carrousel till 1915,
when Emperor Francis l. of Austria
redeemed them, and they were replac-
ed, at his expense, where they now
stand. These ponderOus animals are
of pure copper, and each weighs about
two tons. They were formerly gilded,
but the gold has been worn off by the
weather, and the verdigris which has
accumulated upon the copper gives
them a rich green tint.-William e. Cur.

FAD BECAME A MANIA.
Tempted by Harvard Book Plates, q
Doctor Turned Thief.

Doctor Turned Thief.
1t would seem from the experience
of the Harvard college library that
book plate collecting may sometimes
develop into a dangerous and expen'
sive mania. A few years ago the Har.
ward library found that the engraved
labels which it pastes on the inside OF
the covers of its books as marks Of Its
ownership were disappearing from
some of the less used volumes. Tho
older book plates, it appears, are high.
ly priced by collectors, and some of
them are particularly valuable for their
artistic merit as well as for interesting
associations with early book collect
ing in this country. These were natu,
rally the special prey of the thief.
Detectives took the matter in hand,
and the offender was discovered with
full evidence of his guilt upon him.
He confessed to stealing the library's
property and TO having it in his pos
session. BY the time the matter reach
ed the courts the greater part of the
book plates had been restored, the thief
having settled satisfactorily with the
persons to whom he had sold or given
them, and, as the prisoner had repaid
the expense to which the library had
been put, the college consented to leave
the matter of sentence with the court,
which imposed a fine of $3.50 on one
count and put the other count on file,
to be brought up again later if it should
be desirable, meanwhile placing the
offender under $1,000 bonds for his fu-
ture appearance If he should be want
ed.
A striking point in the case is that
the guilty man is in no way common
criminal. His education (he has a de-
gree of doctor and his taste seem only
to have made his thefts more intelll-
gent and discriminating, however. He
knew the value of his peculiar booty,
and he knew how to dispose Of II, bis
very personality being protection to
him in that part Of his misdemeanor
Apparently the fad developed to a ma
mia and that to kleptomania in his
mind.
A number of the stolen plates have
not yet been traced at all, and collect
ors have been warned against accept
ing Harvard plates of the older en-
graved varieties unless there is unmis-
taxable evidence that they came hon.
estly into the possession of the person
who offers them.
