A SaXoplone Expert.

Il
E. A. Lefebre, who is in the Chase bill
for this week, wears several royal deco
rations, and claims the royal title of
king of the Saxophonists.'
Mr.. Lefebre was born of French an
cestors. though native of Holland. Over
forty years ago he went to Cape Town,
South Africa, and became director of the
Liedertafel Germania, under the patron
age of Gov. George Woodhouse.
The possibilities of the saxophone,
which was placed on the market by AL
phoDse Sax, of Paris, in 1874, were quickly
appreciated by Mr.. Lefebre, and he at
once became an arde-t devotee of the in-
strument. He toured Europe as a saxo-
phone soloist, and was the first person
to give such performances in several
countries. The Germans were unacquaint-
ed with the instrument until Mr.. Lefebre's
work captivated them in 1878.
Mr.. Lefebre came to America In 1871
as a member of the orchestra of the
Parepa Rosa Opera Company, and soon
after was engaged as a saxophone soloist
by Gilmore, with whose organization he
remained nineteen years. He did much to
popularize the instrument, which is now
one of the most essential features of
every orchestra. After Gilmore's death
Mr.. Lefebre was with Sousa for nine
months.

Henrietta Crosman's Failure.

When Henrietta Crosman presented
Mistress Nell'' in New York last year
the dramatic reviewers, without dis
senting voice, praised the performance as
one of the most brilliant of recent years.
Last Monday night when Miss Cros-
man introduced Joan O. the Shoals to
a Gotham audience, the critics were
unit in saying that a more dreary play
was never seen in metropolitan theatre.
Miss Crosman evidently realized that
Joan o. the Shoals was an out-and- out
failure for after three performances of
Mrs. Sutherlands play she announced
revival of Mistress Nell,' of which, ap-
parently, New YorlIers will never tire.
Miss Crosman has showed raise
worthy wisdom in not trying TO force a
run OF Joan o. the Shoals" for the benefit
that might be derived in other cities
of the prestige of New York run. She
is an exception to the general rule, and
q prolonged engagement in Gotham now
adays means absolutely nothing to the
person who is acquainted with the meth
DDS employed by most of the Napoleons
of the drama. The plays that are sent
from New York throughout the country
with the record of long runs are. as a
general rule. failures, bolstered up with
fictitious prosperity. usually commanded
by liberal use of passes, although the
knowing pass fiend in New York is get
ting so that he will not accept a free
ticket to plays that are known TO be un-
successful.

THE LONG JU-JU."
Plan of "a Notorious Fetish Centre in
West Africa.

We have received from Reuters Agency
a sketch plan of the Long Ju-Ju." which
has been sent home by their correspond
ent with the Arc Expedition. The CORE
spondent has given the following descrip-
tion Of this. one Of the most notorious
and most powerful fetish centres in West
Africa
The approach to the Long Ju-Ju is
through dense bush, which gradually be
comes thicker and thicker until one ar
rives at the entrance of the deep, oval
shaped pit. 20 feet deep. 60 yards long,
and 80 yards wide. One then climbs down
the preciDitous sides of the rock into a
narrow gorge and into running water, up
which one wades, passing under two
fences, until one finally comes TO a
place where the water comes out of the
solid rock in two big streams, which
unite below a small island on which are
two altars, one made of many trade guns,
stuck muzzle downward into the ground,
and topped with skulls, the other being
Of wood, and supporting more skulls,
bones, feathers. blood, eggs. and other
votive offerings to the Ju-Ju, including
the head of the last victim.
over the rock, where is the source of
the water, is a roof OF human skulls, with
curtain, the top part of which is com
posed of clothes, and the lower part of
native mating, screening the rock and
hanging just short of the waters edge
The lower portions of the rock, compos-
ing the other sides of this crater, are
drsped with mats only. On the left of
the entrance, centrally situated, and op-
posite the island, has been hewn out Of
the rock flat-topped ledge for sacrifcial
purposes.
The water, about twelve inches deep, is
full of tame, gray-colored fish. about two
feet in length, with long suckers and glar-
ing yellow eyes, which have most bizarre
appearance as they glide noiselessly
through the clear water in the dim light
of this charnel house OF fetish lore, which
is rooted with densely intertwined creep
ers These fish are regarded as sacred.
On the right of the exit lies another pile
of human skulls, and other relics of Ju-Ju
rites, and on the left the last sacrifce-a
white goat, trussed up in the branches Of
a palm tree and starving to death.
The conducting of visitor TO the Ju-Ju
is usually u somewhat lengthy process,
and when he arrives in Its proximity he
is led by a circuitous route and finally
marched IN backward. II would seem 10
be a fair estimate To put the number OF
pilgrims down at about 500 annually all
Of whom pay dearly for the advice or de
cree which Is vouchsefed to them. Prob
ably the number of human sacrifices does
not reach o total OF 80 per annum, while
about 200 people are sold into slavery,
and the remainder are allowed to 60

A HAPPY FAMILY.
Parrot, Dog. and Cat That Eat on
the Same Plate.

A poetical parrot, dog, and a cat
that eat of the same plate and share
the same apartment is the somewhat re-
markable family living at the headquar-
ters of the Pennsylvania Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 1927
Chestnut Street.
Poll, the parrot, is noted for her
poetry and inqusitiveness, and she
shows an inclination to be skeptical
The dog, Don, has commercial ambi-
tions and a Versatile appetite. When the
phone rings he barks at Secretary Ruth
erford until he sees him grasp the re-
ceiver. Don also routs peddlers and peo-
pie with bundles, fearing that they will
interfere with the business of the office.
To further save his master any annoy
ance the dog meets the letter carrier at
the door and carries in the mail. He also
brings in the morning and evening papers.
Don is peculiar about his eating He
wont eat any of the standard canine
food. His buckwheat cakes and sausage
must be served every morning in an up
to- date manner honey and butter on the
cakes and gravy on the sausage. II not
the dog grows irritable. Don is not par
ticular about his lunch. but he has to
have ice cream and cake for dinner, or
he'll grOwl with the parrot and the cat.
AS for Joe" the cat, he would rather
sleep than eat. and it makes him mad
when the parrot and the dog wake him
by their Jabbering
When all three talk together. it's worse
than an immigrant station. The cat is a
poor eater, and often divides his share be-
tween his two companions.
After dinner, the parrot amuses the
rest of the family with poetical selections.
She always begins with.

Prejudice Against Insurance.

There is still a prejudice against life
insurance among certain class OF re
ligious people, on the ground that such
provision betrays a lack of trust in Provi-
uence. Such assumption is the basis OF
blazing pamphlet which has just reached
u.s. In which the author argues, from
three texts in the Sermon on the
Mount, that the principle OF lie lnsur-
ance comes from the father OF lies-the
arch fiend-who delights TO get God S
people of the right lines by trying to
make out that God Is a liar" lie says:
"Will God look after your family after
you are deady' 1--WE cannot reproduce

course the same argument would prove
the wickedness Gi all investments--eVen
