Although Rose Melville has passed
through a severe illness recently her condi-
ton does not detract from her work, as evil
denced from the appreciation she received
at the two performances yesterday at the
Park Theater. 1t is on account of this Ill
ness, however. that Miss Melville has de-
cided 10 play but two more matinees this
week-Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.
The evening performances will be given
regularly.
Miss Melville's style of the country girl is
appealing and funny. Without education or
refinement Sis Hopkins displays certain
degree of homely philosophy that is charac-
teristic.
In the character of Sis Hopkins there is
much comedy, with mingling of pathos.

HAZARD NOT GREAT.
w. s. Boyle Presents Figures Pre-
pared by Insurance Company.

pared by insurance company.
William S. Boyle, of Chicago an Indiana
mine owner of prominence. wrote to an
insurance company for statistics relative
to the liability of life in bituminous coal
mining based on the business principles
of insurance companies. All mines are in
sured for life liability and the owners pay
the premiums. The rates given the owners
are those from which the statistics fur
nished were compiled.
Mr. Boyle in discussing the reasons that
prompted him to secure the figures said:
1.-The owners of mines have never sought
popularity; neither have they made their
business public property. We in the CEN
trail competitive field have tried to get
along with our workmen and have talked
with them and them alone, while on the
contrary the miners organization has done

the grand stand" One of the grand-stand
plays has been to fash the danger of coal
mining. To prove that there is less hazard
in coal mining than in many other employ
ments / applied to my insurance company,
and the result is the table of risks below.
1.-The majority of the people OF the United
States have mistaken impression of what
a coal mine is. A coal mine is believed by
them TO be something worse than the damp

F. HOPKINS0N SMITH READS.


Mr.. F. Hopkinson Smith, the well-known
author, gave a number of interesting read
ings from his own works last night before
the members of the Irvington Athenaeum
in their hall in Butler College. Mr.. Smith.
in prefacing his readings, gave a short dis
course on his methods in obtaining char
acters He said 1t was not mere magma
tion that he used, but instead he got close
to his object and studied it. Got under
his jacket were the words expressed by
Mr.. Smith in illustrating the distance be-
tween him and his object when he had in
mind a certain character. The readings
given were from his own works. and in

Mr.. Smiths readings were thoroughly en-
joyed, as he talked and read in a manner
that held the interest of his auditors close
Smith does not confine himself to literary
work, but engages in civil engineering and
sketch work occasionally. He is well re-
membered as the man who superintendent
the laying of the foundation for the Bar
tholdi statue of Liberty in New York har-
Dor. He has also been interested in the
construction of many government fortfica-
tions and lighthouses. He is prominent in
the artistic world on account of his char
coal sketches.
