Miss Bob White.

MISS BOD WnfLC.
 In the whole field of theatricals it will be difficult to find a more pronounced success than Willard Sponsors now fa- nous comedy opera, Miss Bob White" in which the peerless Marguerite Sylva will appear at the Jefferson theatre on next Tuesday.
 The production in this city will be identical in every particular with that at the Chestnut Street Theatre, Phil adelphia. where the phenomenal record of one hundred and twenty-five consec- utive performances was reached. Phil adelphia's verdict has been sustained everywhere and the performance here will be marked by the same elaborate ness as during its original run The or ginal scenery and costumes will be util- ized and the company of seventy-five people in Miss Sylva's support will in- clude the great beauty chorus and a special orchestra, Among the principals are Richard F. Carroll, Frank Deshon, Wm. E. Philp Thomas Wiffen, Nicholas Burnham, Mathilde Preville and Alice Campbell. The indications point to a brilliant engagement

I'm Murphy.

MT. Timothy Murphy will present his latest success, "A Capitol Comedy" at the Jefferson theatre tonight.
 As the title suggests the play deals with Washington life. In this connection 1t is interesting to know that Mir. Murphy is a resident of Washington and gradu- ated from that famous dramatic club
 which has furnished nearly two dozen of the leading actors and actresses on the stage; moreover. the author of the play. MT. Paul Wilstach, was for num- Der of years a resident of Washington. It was generally suspected that the au- thor has picked a number of conspicu- ous characters in Washington life for exposure and caricture in his play. How ever he only replies with well conceal ed facts to the contrary if there are any that the characters are types not individuals. This has not satisfied some testy individuals and a hot correspond ence is still in continuance over how real is the story of "A Capitol Comedy" Mr. Wilstach says his only object has been to tell an interesting story Of life at the Capitol and to supply an adequate character for the delightful art of MT. Murphy. The comedian's new role is Joel Gay, who is neither clerk nor cab met minister. office seeker or pension grabber, yet type to the life from the human pageant on Pennsylvania avenue. MT. Murphy has in play and character ization secured one of the hits of the year. Many critics have declared with .eThe Senator and "A Texas Steer in mind. that "A Capitol Comedy Is the best Washington play ever written.

HE DIDN'T FEAR THEM.
Source of Any Great Annoy
ance with Him.

There is doctor of the old school in one
of the New England villages near Ran
dolph, Mass, the former nome of Mary
L. Wilkins, whose house is surrounded by a
cemetery The cemetery is behind the
house, and comes up flush with the road on
either side, running off to east and west for
an eighth of mile. Some might find such
house lot doleful, and surely the neighbors are
not lively. But that thought never troubled
the villagers so muca as the prospect of
going home at night, says the New York
Tribune. In the country towns OF New
England the graveyard at night is still a
thing of terror, an inherited terror. There
are still towns where all the graves are dug
on line running due east and west, with the
footstones toward the east, so that the dead
may rise face to face with the Judge on the
last day So the doctor is often asked the
question: "Are you not afraid to go home
sometimes at night?'
And his answer is always the same: mo;
my ne,ghbors will never trouble me; they
all owe me money"

Peculiar to Itself.

This applies to ST. Jacobs Oil used for
fifty years. 1t contains ingredients that
are unknown to any one but the mann
facturers and their trusted employees. Its
pain killing properties are marvellous, as
testified to by the thousands of once crippled
human beings now made well and free from
pain by its use. St. Jacobs Oil has record
of cures greater than all other medicines.
Its sales are larger than those of any other
proprietary medicine and ten times greater
than all other embrocations, oils and lini-
ments combined, simply because it has been
proved to be the best.

Mysterious Death of Man Who Car
ried $34O,OOO of Life Insurance
and Had Applied for More.

Louisville. KY, Dec. 19.-It devel-
oped Thursday that r. C. Whayne, a
Louisville business man who was
found dead Wednesday night-in the
vicinity of Jacob Park, with gunshot
wound in the breast, carried insur-
ance on his life of $34O, 200, and had APP
plications pending for $4,000 more. 1t
was upon the fact tina Mr.. Whayne car
ried such a large life insurance and was
said to be suffering from rheumatism
that theory of suicide is based. Cor
oner Kelly said the circumstances
were such that the case would require
exhaustive investigation. The inquest
will be held Saturday. Near Mr..
Whayne's body when found, but on
the opposite side of a wire fence, was
a shotgun with one barrel empty and
the other loaded and cooked. His
friends and family declare that death
was due to an accident and that the
gun was discharged while he was
climbing through the fence.
