THOSE oUADRUPLETs.

The big story going the rounds of
the press concerning the ms tallation
of8a fourfold baby plant at the home
5-ef one Aft. Morris, in the First ward
of this city, is an illustration of how
carefully news is circulated whether
true or false Just how the rumor
got started seems to be mystery,
but one evening it was noised about
sUn the streets here that four children
sof Ale. Morris had been severely
burned. In few minutes the West
zVirginian had reporter at the Nor
5rfs home to find out the facts in the
case He found nothing unusual and
came back disappointed, no- that the
children had not been burned but that
he had lost a good story. Scarcely
had he reached the Office when sec
Dnd report came. This time it was
the one Of the quadruplets, but as our
reporter had seen Mrs. Morris and
about seven children while investi- |
eating the fire story, he concluded |
another trip was not necessary and
we&1et the matter drop. We sup
posed the incident closed, !,l.t next
morning the story appeared in the
Wheeling papers as Special and it
has been copied and passed around in
the whole Monongahela valley hence
this explanation to set the matter
right. ~

Edwin Arden in Prince Karl.


Next week at the Columbia Theater. be-
ginning Monday evening will be given over
to. the presentation of that delightful COM
edy from the pen Of A. C. Gunter, Prince
Karl" This play was written for and origi-
nally produced by Richard Mansfield, and
has not been seen in Washington since pre-
sented some years ago by Richard Mans
field.
new member of the company Miss
Mabel Roebuck will be seen in the leading
feminine role. This part was originated by
Miss Beatrice Cameron, who is now Mrs
Mansfield. Miss Oliver will also be in the
cast, playing the part of a breezy Boston
girl.
Prince Karl has been made poor by his
ancestors, who have gambled away his liz
herttance. A scheming Chicago bankrupt
has proposed that he marry an elderly
widow whom he supposes to be very
wealthy.
The prince consents, but only in half
hearted way, as he really loves a young
woman whom he has seen but once, and of
whom he knows nothing except her Chris
tan name He has been searching every
where for her. and only discovers she is in
the same hotel just as he is about to marry
the widow. Ingorder to get rid of the old
woman he Pretends to become suddenly
insane and is carried off to an asylum.
On the way there he escapes from the
guards, who suppose he has committed
suicide by drowning, and search is being
made for his body. Disgusting himself as
his ster-brother. he returns to the hotel,
and is engaged by the woman he loves to
act as her courier, no one recognizing him
as the prince. They both fall in love, and
the play ends happily.
Comedy scenes dominate the entire four
acts in which Prince Karl is written,
and it has the further advantage of strong
situations at the finale of each of them.
Special scenery has been painted, and the
production will be complete In every detail

exist In front of 1t. and they sail for it
on a tack.ss-A hundred or mAre feet out
