Mr.. Ben Hendricks, the favorite
Swedish dialect comedian and North
land singer, comes to the Park op-

will present his everlasting play.
"Ole Olson" The story of ole un-
folds a plot of intrigue and love in
the days when old New York was
young. The play is of clean, re-
fined and gentle type, and in the
role of "Ole" Mr.. Hendricks finds
character entirely suited to his
particular style and one which af-
fords him ample opportunity to dis
play his superior ability as a vocal
list and a comedian and his interpre-
tation of the young Swedish soldier
is the best work which the talented
star has ever done. Mr.. Hendricks
songs always have a strange sweet
ness. Maybe 1t is the way in which
they are rendered and maybe it is
the melody. but nevertheless it is
there and the audience we are sure
will not be slow to attest their ap-
probation. This season Mr.. Hen
dricks will sink six new songs which
have become very popular.

Shower Proof Hats.

An Austrian genius has made the
discovery that celluloid, prepared in
a special way. provides a material out
of which hats and the most delicate
flowers can be made. These hats are
not only beautiful in themselves and
cannot be told from those made of
the usual material, but will stand
the most severe shower and look even
better after than before. They are
used to some extent in Germany, es-
pecially in Vienna. They would be
exceedingly popular in London during
the rainy seasons, for many charm
ing bonnet is ruined there by the per
sistent drizzle, from which no UNI
brella can protect woman.

HATS COST MUCH MONEY.
Expensive Hesdgear Made Up for the
Sterner Sex.

Sterner Sex.
Since the advent of the Panama hat
which sold for such fabulous sums
there is less to be heard of women's
extravaganza in the matter of bon
nets. Certainly a man who pays $3.50
for a hat, as many a one has done
during the last two seasons, can say
nothing If his wife gets Partisan
creation at the same price. His
chapeau. however, has the advantage
of wearing indefinitely. 1t takes a
workman all his time TO plait for six
months the straw for such a hat;
the straw is split as fine as the most
delicate gut for fishing. Such a hat
would fold up like a handkerchief and
could be shut up in an ordinary cigar
case. 1t will also wash like fine linen.
But $50 is not the record price for a
mans hat. Mexican cowboys wear
combreros made of special felt which
is absolutely waterproof and practi-
cally everlasting. These hats are
heavily ornamented with delicately
chased silver. One which is now In

HORSE IS DYING OF GRIEF.
Has Lost all Interest in Life Since
His Masters Death.


"Old Monk" the patrol horse OF the
Twentieth and Federal streets sta
ton. at Philadelphia. is dying with
grief over the loss of his master
James Thornton. II ever a horse
mourned the loss Of a friend, that
horse is Monk The men around the
stable have noticed the actions of the
old horse since Thornton's death,
about one month ago. and claim that
he has absolutely lost all signs of in
terest in life. He will hardly eat and
cannot be persuaded or driven into
doing any kind of work.
We are careful of the old fellow"
said one Of the patrol crew this morn
ing. I'VE gave him hardly any WORK
at all to do. for we like the old horse.
l tell you. nobody could Ill treat such
good horse as he is, but he certainly
did love old Jimmie.
Monk raps on the floor of his stall
every morning at the exact hour
Thornton died. he never was lazy
horse. but now he is so languid like
he doesn't want to work or sleep or
eat"
Many believe the old horse is dying
of a broken heart.

shooting win Horseshoe Nails

Horseshoe nails kicked about the
roads of the world by horses innumer-
able are far from the useless frag-
ments we might think them. Gunmak-
ers tell us there is no iron so well
fitted for their purpose as that derived
from horseshoe nails and similar worn
fragments.
The nails, made originally of the
best stun obtainable. receive from the
constant pounding OF the horses feet
on hard surfaces peculiar annealing
and toughening. making them most
perfect substance for the manufacture
OF the finest gun barrels.
