Should Belong to M. M. /. A.

There is no question in the mind of
the Maryland Mint Julep Association
that Mr.. Charles A. Councilman
should be admitted to membership.
Mr.. Councilman, who is a member of
the board of directors of the Maryland
Agricultural College, will make him
self responsible for the mint to be used
by the Maryland contingent at St.
Louis. Ever since the mint provided
for Maryland Day at the Charleston
Fair turned to "catnip'' Mr.. Council
man has been cultivating mint of a
delicate flavor for Maryland Day at
st. Louis, and it is expected to take
the first premium, with the Governor
of Maryland and his staff of expert
connoisseurs for judges. This time it
will not be ''catnip."

edy which deals with the curious adj
ventures of two wealthy young men
who become tramps in quest of love

West last season. A strong cast pre-
sented the piece. Some of the strong
members were Frank Deshon, Georgia
Campbell, Donald Archer and other
coimc opera performers of reputation
outside of New York. The scenic
equipment is elaborate and the chorus
appeared in new dresses. The COM
pany plays here at the Colonial Thea

Grati6ed With British Methods

Captain Willard H. Brownson, super
intendent of the Naval Academy, who
has been spending the summer abroad
with his two daughters, will sail
from London for New York on Satur-
day next, September 10. During his
absence Captain Brownson has COM
pleted a thorough investigation of ma
val educational methods in Great
Britain. He said that it was crafty
ing to find that Great Britain was
adopting the American system of edu-
cation, especially as that system had
previously been criticized by the Brit
ish service and had even been con-
demned by some retired American

"The Peddler.

Joe WEIGH, famed the world over as
the truest exponent of Jewish character
portraiture, will be seen at the Colo
NAL Theatre on Thursday, September
s as the star of new play entitled
1.-THE Peddler, from the pen of Hal
Reid. The scenes are laid in New
York city, and abound with plenty OF
excitement and comedy. Every char
acter in the play has been drawn from
a study in life, and throughout the
play Mr.. Welch has been given plenty
of scope to display his histrionic abil-
ity in the line of Hebrew character.
From the time Mr.. Weloh wanders in
he has an encyclopaedia gift of slang,
and such a naive and wistful uncon-
seriousness in speaking his lines, that
it's amounts TO genius.

The bill at Proctors Twenty third
street theatre next week is not a bit
behind the splendid programme of
the past week, offering as it's chief
attraction. Hermann the Great, who
comes with his entire company to
present a half-hour scene of magic
and mirth. Like the stars of the
dramatic stage, Hermann has found
vaudeville, and in condensed form
he offers the entertainment which for
many years has been n of the lead
ing attractions upon the road. E imi-
mating the more familiar tricks and
working quickly those he has to offer,
he is enabled in his time limit to give
"the cream" of his entire speciality.

man of France will be given at
Proctor's Fifth avenue theatre next
week which will provide Mr. Edwin
Arden with opportunity to demon
strate his marked ability as the orea.
tor of strong romantic characters. The
production will be made with the
original scenery and properties used
by Mr.. Bellew and its Interpretation
will require the full strength of the
permanent stock company, including
in addition to Mr. Arden, Isabelle
Evesson. Wallace Erskine, Marion
Berg, Gertrude Berkeley. John West
ley, Theodore Hamilton and Others.
The capital production of Captain
Lettarblair. which formed the feature
at the Fifth avenue theatre last week,
has been transferred to Harlem, where
1t will serve to introduce to M town
audiences William Ingersoll, the new
leading man of the permanent stock
company. Mr.. Ingersoll will head
the company during the season and
Captain Lettarblair" has been Sc
lected as giving him every advantage
of a sympathetic and c~ongenial char
acter but, the entire company has
been selected with q view to giving
as good a performance as that which
marked its appearance down town.
Vinella's Horses, q highly trained
troupe of equines, which last season
was the leading feature of the London
Hippodrome for several months and
which appeared with marked success
at all of the leading European music
halls, will be seen at P%rootor's New
ark theatre next week, heading a pro-
gramme of varied and unusual excel
lence. Tho boxing horses in particular
have attracted wide spread comment,
although only a professional trainer
can realize the difficulty attending
upon training horses and the accom-
plishment of this feat.
Although Proctoi's Fifty eighth
street theatre has been devoted to
combinations for several years past, it
has been Mr.. Proctor s policy to pre-
sent at this house oocasi onally a gala
vaudeville bill when ever ~opportuni-
ty offers to gather together o particu-
larly strong programme. In pursuance
of this policy q carnival will be given
at the Fifty eighth street theatre next
week, after which the..house will again
revert to combinations for n time. A
special occasion of the vaudeville bill
at the house next week is the opnor-
tunity offered of presenting here Paul
Sadonl, the premier heavy weight
juggler of the world, who will head
the programme presenting his famous
biles and does juggling with heavy
woight cannon balls.

MAY PENSION EMPLOYEES
Rock Island System Believed to Be
Considering Service Pension.

Considering Service Pension.
Special to Times Republican.
Davenport Aug. 3.-Some times the
man who knows least and has the
smallest responsibility will talk the
most freely At times he is right and
then again 1t is otherwise. This rumor
comes from the ranks OF the trainmen,
and probably they know the least about
it. But there may be truth in 1t. The
rumor is that the officials OF the Rock
Island system are considering the adop-
ton Of some sort Of a pension system
for the benefit Of the old employees OF
the train service While the reports
cannot be verified and the division of
fiials in Rock Island cannot advance
any definite information on the sub
ject it is asserted that the plan will
be adopted, and that 1t will in fact be
promulgated on September l. when the
new book Of rules become operative.
Pension systems are not rarity, as
several Of the old and financially
strong companies in the east provide
for the pensioning OF their employees
and it Is generally believed by rail-
road men that the Rock Island has in
view some sort OF an arrangement
whereby its deserving enginemen,
conductors and other employees who
shoulder heavy responsibility while on
duty. will be pensioned when their
days OF usefulness are over.
The age at which an employee shall
be entitled to a pension Is not stated,
but It is supposed that it will be gaug-
ed as usual by the number Of years
he has been in continuous service and
also by his record. And further this
pension will no doubt be fixed at a
certain per cent of the wages he drew
while in active employment
