Fine Performance OF Sir
Charles Young's Drama
The Usual Good Sized Audience Present
Last Night-Variety at the Law
renee Summer Garden.
The cast:

The popular old drama, Jim the PEN
man." is the offering at the Columbia
Theater this week, and last evening the
usual good-sized audience was present
to witness the initial performance. Mr..
Arden and his company have made such
a good impression in their previous pro-
ductions this summer that it is almost
superfluous to say that the performance
given last night was a good one. 1t is
in line with their past good work, and
as usual. the opening was remarkably
smooth and finished
Sir Charles Young's drama has been
before the public for so many years that
the story of the play is perhaps as ia
miliar as any piece of stage fiction Of
the last decade and more. 1t is a play
well adapted to stock work, and the
members OF the Columbia company ao-
pear TO excellent advantage.
Jim the Penman" tells story that Is
not unconventional on the stage. but
it has this merit. that it sustains the
interest OF it's audience from beginning
to end. From the rising CT the curtain
in the first act of the play to its tragic
close, the scenes and incidents are fine
ly drawn.
There are few who have seen Jim
the Penman" who do not sympathize
with the unfortunate wretch who stakes
his all to win the woman he loves and
there are very few whose hearts do not
go out to him when he meets his inevi-
table fate. But it teaches forcibly the
lesson that he who transgresses the con-
ventions of society must pay the penal
ty of his wrongdoing in the end. Jim
the Penman' is a good play, and one
that will probably be popular for many
years to come.
1t is given by the Arden company in an
excellent manner. Mr.. Arden. always
good in any part he essays. assumes the
title role. He plays 1t with an earnest
ness and intelligence that bespeaEs the
finished actor. and although there may
be a suggestion of other roles in his in
terpre tation OF the part, his portrayal OF
Jim" is as coed as any that has been |
secn IN Washington in long time. Mr.. |
Arden always works hard. and endeavors !
TO give as good a performance as he Is |
capable OF. no matter what role he as !
sumes The result is that he accom- |
plishcs the desired end with the least !
possible expenditure of energy and very |
little friction.
Miss Hall. as the wife. plays with re-
fnement and intelligence, and her work
8 quite as good as any that she has done
so far this season.
Mr.. Hoch as Baron Hartfeld, has per-
haps the most congeniaI role in which he
has yet appeared. The part fits him ex-
,eptionally we'll. and he does probably
he best work he has yet done In Wash
ngton.
W. H Post. the hard working stage
director. also has a good role in the
irawling English detective. and Mr..
plays the role OF Drelinoourt in
capable manner. MyrOn Lcflingwell has
Tot much to do in a small part, but he
loes that little well.
The usual Thursday and Saturday mat
nces will be given. T. w Robertson's

Fleetest of Her Class.

The new Maine is by long odds the
most powerful battleship ever turned
out on the Delaware. and unless the
predictions OF the men who actually
reared her are amiss she will prove her
self the feetest vessel OF this type
afoat
To meet her contract she must show
an average speed Of IS knots an
hour, which in land calculation means
that she must go about as fast as the
regular accommodation train on first
class railroad.
The Maine will leave the shipyard to-
morrow afternoon. and. catching the tide
right at Schooner Ledge. will proceed
at once to the Breakwater. On Wednes-
day she will go out to do her first battle
with blue water, and until this run is
completed not even her builders can
possibly know whether the tremendous
energy centered in her engines will force
her vast structure through the water
at the required speed.
The Cramps yards never turned out 4
ship that failed to meet requirements
or TO exceed the speed demanded. and
the prediction is made among the work
men lidl lIP hdlUe VIII uO ItGl tI -
than IS knots when she is forced.
No Forcing at Trial.
II is not probable that there will be
any forcing on this trial. however, as i
is the preliminary or builders test. All
that the Cramps care to know is how
fast the engines must turn the two
huge propellers to accomplish is knots.
The real driving test will come later
when the ship gets her ofIicial trial of
the New England coast
For the builders trial the course will
be between the two lightships on the
Five Fathom Bank. Here there is a
stretch Of deep water for about eleven
and half knots and over this the ves-
sci will be sent time and again while
careful observations are made.
Edwin S. Cramp and J. Harry Null
will have practical charge OF the trial
so far as the ships engines are con.

Let Slip Some In
formation
Concerning Purchase Of

Speaks Of N. O. 7. Hav-
ing Only an Option.
However. $50, 600 Has Been
Paid and Plans Pushed.

Mr. John c. Welty of the Canton
Akron Electric Railway CO., said Fri
day that if the company had been al
lowed to dynamite the frozen ground
being excavated from Uniontown
hill, the line might have been ready
for operation March 1.
IF the temporary injunction grant
ed against the use of dynamite brought
by persons residing in the vicinity is
continued" he said, "the work will
be delayed and excavations on the
hill will have to be stopped until
spring. The matter of location Of
the power house is still in doubt If
the Northern Ohio Traction Co. takes
advantage Of the option it now holds
on the Canton Akron line it will likely
build the power house in connection
with the power house of the Canton
Massillon lines in West Tuscarawas
St, Canton, and If it does not purchase
the line, we will build the power house
at Graham hill, as originally planned"
AT the annual meeting of the Canton
Akron Co., practically all of the old
officers and directors were reelected.

STOLE OVERCOATS
BY WHOLESALE.
Police Believe Cleveland Pris-
oner and Local Thief Are One,

The identity of the man who has
been stealing overcoats in Akron dur
ing the last few days, and who has
onSrated largely in other cities in
Ohio and neighboring states, has prob
ably been solved by the arrest, by the
Cleveland police. yesterday, of VIII,
lium Savage, aged As, Oh the charge
Of stealing coats there.
The coats which were stolen at the
Manderbach residence in this city were
sent to Cleveland by express by the
thief, and were received by Savage
there. Local Police believe that the
coat stolen at the Clarendon hotel,
from Weimers boarding house, and, In
fact all the coats that have disappear
ed from Akron will be found to have
been taken by Savage, and sent to

Cleveland to try and identify the prop

shops.

Mr.. Welty's remarks indicate that the
Canton-Akron has not yet lost Its iden.
tity through the deal with the Everett
Moore syndicate. The option to which
he refers, however, is of Il pretty sub
stantial character. The Everett
Moore people paid $4,000 down when
the deal was closed. with the under.
standing that the Canton-Akron people
should complete the line, with the
exception of the power house.
1t is very much the intention of the
