out the center portion of one OF the

pepper. Apply the pepper side of the

involved use the other half OF the

Break in Water Main.

\ bad break occurred in the water main
at Delaware avenue and street yester-
day afternoon shortly after o'clock. The
break occurred only a short distance from
the car tracks, and traffic on the line was
interrupted for short time. Hundreds
of clerks on their way home from office
were inconvenienced. and some OF then
had TO walk a longer distance than usual.
Fortunately for the residents of the
northeast section. the c street line was
kept in operation and was of great as
sistance to the company and its patrons.
The break caused the cutting off of the
water supply for some time and made ii
necessary to use the pumps. 1t was only
short time after the break occurred
before there was line of people at each
pump in the area affected by the break
and at some of the pumps the supply of
water gave out.

1t will be interesting to observe how New
York receives Brother Jacques, Annie
RusselFs new play, which closes its engage
ment at the New National Theater tonight.
1t is wholly lacking in the gaudy sensation
alism on the one hand and the blunt vernac-
ular on the other, which have challenged
other successes of the current season. 1t is a
fine example of refined comedy; yet with all
it's refinement delightfully."- humorous and
sympathetically human. But its humor is eX-
pressed with entire regard for the graces
of grammar and the characters of an folk
whose interests are more intellectual than
athletic.

of the numerous reflections, in some re-

modern stage there is no doubt that the
theater offers substantial rewards and So

tional institutions are preparing themselves
seriously for the stage as a profession, and
