Of the most widely read and best liked
stories ever published in "The Smart

ing 1T presents many unusual OPP
portunities and is said to give this dis
tinguished comedian occasion for some
OF the most pronounced dramatic work
he has yet done. Though in its dram
attic form 1t is very strong, there Is at
the same time a. thread Of enlivening
and amusing comedy running through
it. Characteristic of all this artist has
heretofore done the presentation OF
this play has received the most careful
consideration for as a production 1t
stands forth very prominently. 1t has
been customed and mounted most Law
ishly. Mr.. Murphy's players number
many excellent comedians-among
them being artistic Dorothy Sherrod.

THE MAN-JEROME.

Golfers for November 25 contains an admirable sketch of Mr. William Travers Jerome, the reelected dis trict attorney of New York City, who made such an admirable run as an independent candidate and beat the bosses of every party. Mr. Edwin Bjorkman,, who writes the article, says in part:
 Jerome is first of all teller of truths-not of one abstract, universal truth but of particular, individual. immediately applicable truths that concern the present day and place. Next he is a fighter. He was born to battle, and there is nothing thas pleases him more than real hot t'ss sle with foe worthy of his steel. Ambition he possesses beyond doubt: but it is subordinated to such deep rooted conviction of it's futility when ever it's satisfaction be procured hv the sacrifice of a principal that iT practically becomes a ineligible quan- tity in the mans life. If he caela buy the presidency by one little lie, I think he would cry out: "PshaW, I never wanted it!" But there is a doubt in my mind whether he wcrld not compromise even with his pass on for veracity if, by so doing, he could get into a good fight for good cause.
 And there are two things he hates only less than lie-iniustice a=d oppression. Think oe that man ter

 "The launch was slow and the tor pedo boat rushed on like a comet Like shot from cannon she rush- ed on and in minute struck fha launch, cutting her completely in two, and raced on into the darkness. We could see the men struggling ;n l the water and clinging to the pieces of the wrecked boat.
