Robert Emmet, the Days of 1908,
which will be presented at the Illinois
theatre Saturday, Nov. 2s, is reported
to he one of the strongest attractions
that J. Wesley Rosenquest has yet
sent on the road. This is saying a
great deal for the piece, when it is
remembered that such prominent at
fractions as Blue Jeans" New Eng
land Folks and other successes were
directed from his office. The cast
contains many well-knnwn names
and is headed by Robert CONFESS, who
has long since won his spurs as Il
leading man. In the role of Ireland's
favorite patriot, Mr.. CONFESS is said
to find ample scope for the display of
his graceful personality and artistic
training as an actor of romance. Mag
nificence in scenic effects and cos
tuning bring the production up Ia
the high standard of Manager Rosen-
quests New York theatre, where the
piece had a successful run of over 100
nights.

FIREMAN FALSE ALARM FIEND?
Jersey City Chlers Driver Suspended Oh
Thai Charge.


Chief John Conway OF the Jersey City
Fire Department has suspended his own
driver, Walter Hartwick, on charge OF
sending in false alarms The accusation
was made by John Speicher, the Inspector
Of the FIRE alarm telegraph, who says he
believes Hartwick was responsible for sew
eral false alarms since Aug. /. The driver
denies the charge and says he can easily
convince the Fire Commissioners that he
is innocent
When the police failed to catch the false
alarm fiend, Chief Conway concluded that
the alarm system was out Of order and di-
rected Speicber to make an examination of
the wires. Speicher gave the system a
thorough overhaulng and made up his
mind that somebody connected with the
department was having fun sending fire.
men on wild-goose chases.
On Aug. 10 Speicher reached the quarters
Of Engine in Summit avenue as the fire
men were returning from a false alarm,
which had apparently been sent in from
box ATT. He crossed the street to Hart
wicks home and knocked at the door, but
received no response. He says that he
heard some one winding up a tire-alarm
gong inside and few minutes later Hart
wick put in an appearance. Speicher told
the chief that he had fixed the wires at
taChed to Hartwck's gong in order to de-
tect if they had been tempered with and
he was positive that the driver had sent in
false alarms.
Chief Conway says that he has always
found Hartwick reliable man, He also
saws he knows that his driver was sitting
in front Of the quarters Of Engine one
day when one Of the false alarms credited
to Hartwick was sounded.

Luck In Politics.

The late Chief Justice McCollum
of Pennsylvania owed his election
to a singular accident. He was
nominated for the vacant judgeship
by the Democratic state convention
of 1888 in opposition to James l..
Mitchell, the Republican candidate.
There was then no chance of his
election, but the death of one of the
justices made another vacancy on
the bench, and both Mitchell and
NcCollum were chosen. Lots were
then cast for seniority of rank, as
their commissions were to expire at
the same time. January, 1910, and
McCollum had the further luck of
drawing the prize and so succeeded
to the chief justiceship.
