MERELY MARY Ann. :
Miss Eleanor Robson at Acade-
my of Music, Baltimore.

Miss Eleanor Robson in Israel Zang-
Wills comedy. Merely Mary Ann,
will be the attraction at the Academy
Of Music, Baltimore, the week of De-
cember Il, with a matinee ON Satur-
day. Miss Robson's managers, Lieb-
ler e Co, think so much Of Merely
Mary Ann that they have offered
$40, 90 to any Baltimore charity il q
committee Of ten local theatre goers,
70 be chosen by the first nights au-
dience, does not pronounce ii the best
play of the season. And, Judging from
the enthusiastic notices which Miss
Robson and the play have received in
the Chicago and Cinncinatti papers,
il would seem that their confidence
is well placed. So conservative news
paper as the Chicago Tribune says
that Merely Mary Ann is play
as sweet and clean and as truly human
as the Chicago stage has offered in
many day, while the Commercial
Tribune of Cincinnati declares that
the drama of this age knows no hap
pier or more fascinating story.
There is not much in the way of a
pIot in Merely Mary Ann It is a
simple story without counterplot, vii
lainy or anything Of that kind. -Four
acts are consumed in telling of the
love of an ingenious little country girl
who has become the slave in cheap
London lodging house for a musical
composer, who has frittered away his
time writing symphonies and operas
that are unsaleable, with the result
that he is penniless 1t is not the story
so much as the way that Mr.. Zang-
will tells ii that makes it so affecting.
Comedy abounds, but it is of the
genuine kind-nothing that suggests
buffoonary or a reach for laughter.
Sentiment there is in abundance, but
il is of the healthy variety that tugs al
your heart, brings tears to your eyes
and makes your entire system vibrate
| in sympathy without causing you pain.
There is no waste of talk and every
word uttered means something-has
some special interest
The story, dialogue and situations
all have are perfectly satisfying AS
| for Miss Robson, her Mary Ann is
more than a character---it is an inspi.
ration. One does not see the actress
| in her work at all, only the little in'
nocent slavey, whose devotion tC
her whole life. The supporting com.
pany is headed by Edwin Arden, one
of the cleverest leading men on the
American stage, and includes Ads

Admiral Dewey's Apt Rebuke TO ar

Among the many annoyances to
which men prominent in the nations
service are subject is the constant ef-
fort OF irrepressible strangers to az
feet an appearance of the greatest in
timacy with them.
In Washington Admiral Dewey is.
perhaps, the greatest sufferer In this
respect. Courteous and genial as he
is. the admiral invariably greets every
one saluting him: but he detests the
species of strange individual who en-.
deavors to approach him in the man.

Not long since the head Of the navy
was astonished suddenly to find his

never to his knowledge seen before.

20 the collection Of ecclesiastical en-
broIdery at South Kensington are now
exhibited there in the Tapestry Court
They were obtained from the Hocfon
collection which was sold IN Paris last
month. The museum owns one Of the
best among them to the generosity OF
Mr.. J. II. Fitzhenry. who placed at the
disposal Of the authorities . sum sufii-
cient to purchase the beautiful Ital-
Ian orphrey dating from the second
half OF the fourteenth century (No.
s31-19O3). II is remarkable both for
beauty and fineness Of workmanship
and for the simple and expressive
manner In which the artist has told
the story OF the Virgin Mary; the sub
feet is represented in nine scenes.
The orphrey probably belonged to a
cope. and may be compared with that
on the cope No. 5S0-1SS4 exhibited in
a wall case In the Italian court. An
English orphrey no. S27-1O03l comes
in no degree behind this Italian exam
pie in technical qualities. and forms
another illustration Of the remarkable
prominence OF English embroideries
In the earlier Gothic period. "Opus An
glicanum" had acquired celebrity
on the Continent OF Europe before the
middle Of the thirteenth century, and
beautiful examples dating from that
and the following century. and showing
unmistakable signs Of English origin,
are still to be found In Italy. Spain

fifteenth century. One other piece
may be mentioned--an orphrey from
a chasuble no S26-1903) bearing the
date 1926 on a carteuche beneath the
central figure of David, and most
probably OF French workmanship. 1t
forms a simple and useful example Of
continental work at period when the
art of the embroiderer In this coun-
try after a decline during the Wars
of the Roses shone again for a brief
period before its practical extinction,

cerned. at the dissolution OF the mon

New York World correspondent,
writing from f1owersoX, Coke county.
Pa. under recent date, reports that ia
be- w. Posthanger, the famous trapper
Of Silent Woman creek, came to town
this morning for his annual supply OF
stores. He brought with Kim, among
other things, halt of a small snake
skin concerning which he tells the fol-
lowing veracious story:
81 was coming home from setting
my traps one morning along about the
first of April" says Jabez, when !
heard frightful row in the bushes,
like as if wildcat was throwing a
fit and then trying to pick it up again.
l opened the brush, and there, IN lit
tie clearing, was the queerest sight
you ever struck.
''In the middle of the clearing was a
little rattlesnake, not MORN three foot
long. Around him on the ground lay
the torn and mangled bodies OF IL
blaclssnakes, not one of 'em less than
twice as big as he was. And - more
of the same size was still fighting him.

HE was fighting plenty, unappeased
and tempestuous, and he'd killed half
his foes, but any fool could see at a
glance that the others would be toe
many for him, for he was breathing
hare and his eye was glazing.
''Well, his pluck tickled me so much
I just rushed in and scattered those
assailants of his every which way
Then [ started home.
"But that little snake I'd saved was
choek full Of gratitude. He followed
me home like dog, and slept on tie
threshold. / couldn't drive him away.

was so devoted, and named him Simon

Cameron after the first man I ever
voted for, back IN 81,
"Well, Simon Cameron soon became
as much part of my household as
was. And he was the usefulest pet l
ever saw. Why, when my alarm clock
smashed, he hung himself on the head
of the bed, and at exactly 6:15 every
morning he'd spring his rattles till he
woke me up.
''That wasn't but one of the many
slick tricks he had.
"Nyell, along about May, when spring
set in, Simon Cameron began to grow
sad / could see he longed to be back
in the hills among his own kind, and
yet his loyalty to me kept him at the
cabin.
zone morning he didn't wake me up
as usual. l couldn't find him till late
that afternoon. Then l came across a
torn half of his body just outside the
door. You see it was this way:
His wild nature had drawn him
back to the hills. His loyalty to me
had held him where he was, and III
be golblasted if them two conflicting
attractions, one drawing him each
way. hadn't pulled him clean in half.
And you can bet your hopes of
crops, gentlemen" finished Jabez,
tearfully, ''that I'll never, so long as
live, part with the loyal half I've still
got. It's a lesson in snake nature
that ought to make better men of us

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn,' is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally !
because they like the taste
/ and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their. wants.

is the most satisfactory treat
