Gillette is Not Hopeful.

Many people still look to William
Gillette for the" American play. The
comedian is this season appearing in
The Admirable Crichton." by Bar
RE. and IL story told of him is true,
he is in no mood for bodybuilding on
his own account.
II is said that not long ago he dined
with a laxative, insistent chap. who,
in the course of the condolences OF
the hour leaned toward Mr.. Gillette.
and. with sudden, young directness.
asked: Mr. Gillette, why don't you
write another good play instead of
wasting time over Admirable erich
TOM" A good, live, realistic sort, ]
mean; one that New Yorker. TO- eX'
ample. would enjoy and understand
an up-to-dater."
Mr. Gillette reached for the supper
card and scrawled a few lines on the
back of It. For example" he re-
marked. handing the card to the young
ster: "Scene-A drawing-roOm. Mar.
ried lady seated. young man in dress
suit at her feet. Folding doors at back
open. Discovers husband with a dou.
ble-barreled revolver. He fires and
kills married lady and young man.

plates victims After a pause he eN-
claims: a thousand pardons. I'm in

Another ZanawilI Play,

The heart of Mary Ann" having
struck responsive chord in the heart
of the tickle public. Israel Zangwill is
going to try again. Next season
Cecilia Lotus is to appear as a star
in dramatization of his THE Serio-
Comic Governess." In this connection
story is told that will not be wasted
in this Observation-Disclosures land.
1t appears that certain Miss Mar
garet, Regan of Liverpool once told
Mr. Zangwill of some striking Incl
dents in the career of friend of hers.
These incidents were subsequently
utilized by the author in writing The
Serio-C Comic Governess." Now il hap
pened that Miss Regan's heroine was
none other than the clever little
"Cissy" Lotus, so we are to have the
unique spectacle of the actress ap-
pearing in a decentralization" of her
own life. Mr. Zangwill's story tells of
a convent girl who becomes a COVER
ness and in the evenings amuses her.

The Dangers Of Fox HUNTING.

Crowds go hunting" but few ride

useless. OF the thrusters-the ones

tail every time. The golden rule is:l
Throw your heart over first, and then

AMUSING SCENE IN SENATE.
When Senator Lodge Listens to sena-
tor Spooner.

When Senator Spooner of Wisconsin
gets MP to deliver a speech all his col
leagues listen attentively, but good
many of them watch Senator Lodge
at the same time. The Wisconsin
man. though quite scholar, is noted
FOR his eecentrieities of pronunciation.
For example, he calls the liberated
island "Cu.bey." ''Reciprocity" is
"ree-see-proc-ity" Panama" is Pa
mamma" with the accent on the
nam" "Caliber" is, "cal-lyeber.
philippines" is "Phil'pens.' These
slips cause Mr.. Lodge keen anguish,
his own enunciation and pronuncia-
ton being as near perfection as NOR
tai man can reach. 1t is said that as
soon as Spooner begins to talk Lodge
begins to shudder, keeping up sort
of suffering-from-gou expression until
the Badger statesman resumes his
seat.

Roland B. Molineux's attorneys are

cree by which he can remove from
the state prison department his photo

prisons has refused to surrender. Moli,

ton Of the records is malicious and in

fact that he has been exonerated of
the crime for which he was sentenced
to death. Attorney General Cunneen.

that to allow mandamus in this case

who might set up the contention that
such a record on file tended to libel
