The celebrated comic opera success,

tion of being the oldest and most sue
cessful of modern times. First pre-
scented by the famous original Boston
ians nearly a decade ago It has been
presented continuously ever since to
the largest box Office receipts Of any
comic opera en- tour. The reason for
this popularity is easily found Robin
Hood" possesses a strong theme Of ro-
manticism and the musical score
abounds In catchy. singable ballads
which will ever be most popular with
'theatregoers.
The Aborn Production Company have
secured the absolute stage rights TO
Robin Hood" from the Whitmark Mu-
steal Library. The rights include the
original manuscript models for seem
cry and an paraphernalia originally
used - the Bostonians and are offer
ing the grandest revival ever given OF
this famous opera. No detail has been
overlooked as regards company, cos
tunes and scenic equipment
The principal members who viii ap-
pear in Robin Hood" are Harold
Blake. the well-known tenor, who sings
the title role. Robin Hood. the outlaw
chief; Miss Viva Brewster will appear
las Marian, the daughter of Lord Fitz-
walter afterwards the fair Maid Mar
ian; i. Stanton Heck, a Wilmington
boy, win be seen in the role of the
Sheriff of Nottingham; Karl Stall,

pany In an act entitled The Victor" is
another OF the more pretentious NUM-
bers on the bill. The act introduces

A bachelor whose skill at getting up
dainty supper dishes assures him plen-
ty of company in the evenings is re-
sponsible for a substitute for the Welsh
rabbit that is free from nightmare. He
covers lightly toasted bread with finely
grated cheese and instead of slipping it
in the oven places it beneath the flame
of the gas broiler until the cheese has
been toasted light brown.
If good cream cheese is used there
is not the slightest suggestion Of sog-
giness or greasiness, and even those to
whom a rabbit means a night of trou-
bled dreams may indulge in this with
no fear of evil consequences.
The trick lies in the grating Of the
cheese Broken into bits, it would melt
into a pasty mass. Finely divided, each
particle should be individually toasted
before it has a chance to melt down,
and in that state it is readily assimilat-

his head, expressing decapitation. The
prince tried to appease him. But, sir,
you still angry with me. You have not
invited me to your party tomorrow

was only a children's party, but the
ambassador might come if he chose.
He did choose, for he went and, being
the only ambassador there, led all the
guests, thus scoring heavily for Persia,
which made him comfortable about the

Survey has sent to all boards of County

HOW TO APPLY FOR STATE ROADS
1-All applications for survey of roads, under
the State Aid Road Law, Chapter 225. Laws of
Maryland. 1904, are to be made out on the reg

2-Applications must be signed by the County
Commissioners or when the control of the county
roads is vested in other boards by the members Of
such boards
3-All applications are required by law to be
made on or before March lst, of each year. Those
counties not so applying forfeit their apporton-
ment for that year.
"A separate blank must be used for each sec
ton OF road.
5-The blanks are numbered consecutivey and
the surveys and construction of the different
roads will be pursed in the order of these num-
bers unless the county road officials designate in
writing different order.
Cit a blank is lost or destroyed, the Highway
Division should be notified and new one will
be issued on application. 1t is important that
notice be given of the loss ofanv blanks in order
that they may be checked Off from the list of

The Railroad Rate Bill.

The popularity of the move to curb the
railroads in their extortion is shown by
the vote on the rate bill last week, which
passed the House by the tremendous vote
of 326 to II. 1t is an interesting fact to
note that all the opposition came from
the great West and the South. which
have suffered most from unjust rate dis
ordinations, standing by the President
and giving him their undivided support,
at the same time showing their indepen-
dence of the corruptiug influence of the
railroad lobbyists. 1t was in such States
as Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which
have long been dominated by corporate
wealth, that the railroads secured those
few votes they were able 10 purchase.
1t is now up to the Senate. that House
of Milliosaires. to say whether or not
anything shall be done in response
to the public demand. but the gen
eral opinion is that the bill will be so
burdened with amendments in the upper
house as to practically destroy its effec-
tiveness, even should it be passed. but it
is highly improbable that our Millionaire
Senate will pass it at all.
The bill authorizes the interstate com.
nerce commission to fix rates, after in.
vestigation, its order in the matter to
take effect after sixty days. The rail-
road company can appeal after putting
up bond for payment of damages to ship
pers in case they are compelled to pay
the old rates while the case is pending in
court. The old commission of five mem
bers is abolished and new one of seven
members created, with salaries of $40. 600
year. The bill is to go into effect April
I, 1905, if passed.
The bill is not perfect as under it the
railroads will have recourse TO the courts
for an injunction restraining the commits
sion from enforcing rates. and by the
abuse of this privilege be able to tie up
rates indefinitely. This is the weakest
feature of the bill, which is step in the
right direction, serving as it does TO pave
the way to government ownership. which
must inevitably force its consideration
upon Congress. And. too, the very con
irving of the railroads to nullify this Law
by means of litigation and procrastinatior
will show the necessity for more drastic
legislation. which is sure to follow.
The President in his fight for the bill
has received the most assistance and en-
couragement not from his own party, bul

The Choice of a wife.

A German professor selects woman
who can merely stew prunes not be-
cause stewing prunes and reading Pro-
clus make delightful harmony, but
because he wants his prunes stewed for
him and chooses to read Proclus by
himself. A fullness of sympathy, a
sharing of life one with another, is
scarcely ever looked for except in a
narrow, conventional sense. Men like
to come home and find blazing fire
and a smiling face and an hour of re-
taxation. Their serious thoughts and
earnest aims in life they keep on one
side. And this is the carrying out of
love and marriage almost everywhere
in the world, and this the degrading Of
women by both.-From One of Mrs.

The habit of slow, measured, deep
breathing that covers the entire lung

you have tried it, and when you have
established the habit of breathing in
this manner you will say some remark
able things in its favor. 1t will reach
