AFTER FORTY.
Great Achievements of Men Who Had
 Passed That Age.

From the New York American
 Dr. William Osler. of Johns Hopkins
 university, recently called to the head
 ship of the Meulcal School of Oxford uni
 versity, said to be the leading medical
 man in the United States, declared in an
 address Wednesday that a man is ''prac-
 tically useless after 40 years of age'
 Said the Doctor: "Take the sum of
 human achievements, in action, in sci
 ence, in art, in literature subtract the
 work of the men above 40, and, while we
 should miss great treasures-even price
 less treasures-we would practically be
 where we are today"
 In answer to this strange-I may be
 pardoned for saying foolish-statement,
 l apend here a few names, ages and
 achevements--a few only out of a mighty
 lirt that might easily be given, did space. permit. Here are some of the books that were written after 40: Lockes Essay on the Human Under standing (5S).
 Shakespeare's two greatest dramas.

Samuel Johnsons Dictionary 46l. Bunyan's "Pilgrims Progress (43 to 4D.
 Macaulay's History of England" 4S). Michael Angelo built the great dome of
 st. Peters. after he was 50. Newton was 45 before he discovered the
 law of the attraction of gravity. At 42 Robert Fulton sailed his steam
 boat up the Hudson At AS Franklin discovered electricity. Wesley was fl when he founded the great Methodist church. Webster was AS when he made the ever | memorable Reply to Hayne." Columbus was 46 when he discovered the New World. ss,fa .ss Washington was 43 when he took com mana of the Continental army.
 Beethoven was 54 when he wrote his famous Mass in D." Haydn composed "The Creation" at 66, | and Handel "The Messiah" at BE- At 50 Calico was in the midst of his astronomical discoveries. Harvey was 47 when he discovered the
 cruculation of the blood, and Jenner 45 when he discovered the smallpox virus. | Bsmrack was 57. and von Molke 72 when, together. they consummated the
 uniication of Germany. | Scipio Afrieanus was 52 when he de- | feated Hannibal at Zama. and Julius Cae- sar was past 45 when he began the. work | which made him "the foremost man of all the world" :"

Seeing him thus prostrate the two speculators approach him with protestations of sympathy and endeavor to induce him, while he is still dazed. to sign the papers which would put him at a disadvantage in the business deal. He turns upon them angrily. rallies his energies, dictates certain paragraphs which will secure his full control of the enterprise, forces their signatures, and then crumpling the papers in his hands. staggers out to meet the body of his son.

William H. Crane.

One of the most important incidents of the local theatrical season will be the first presentation here of Business is Business the drama in which William H. Crane Is to appear at the Jefferson theatre next Tuesday night The play, which is by Octave Mirbeau, one of Frances ablest dramatists. had it's first production some eighteen months ago at the Comedie Francaise in Paris and at once was hailed as one of the most power ful plays of the decade. It has held its place steadily in the repertory there, has had presentation in Germany, Austria and Italy, and is to be done in London by George Alexander.
 The character which MT. Crane assumes is that of Isidore Lechat, who is the in- carnation of the spirit of money worship. His one aim Is wealth, and with him sue. cess always justfies the means. Phe- nomenally acute In discovering business opportunity and remorseless in taking advantage of it, he crushes or absorbs all rivals in his path and as his millions accumulate becomes more and more con vinced that money Is the only thing in the world that counts. A vulgar, con scienceless tyrant, he Is the terror not only of his dependents but of his family His wife regards him with fear and his daughter with contempt and aversion, &C., counting him no better than d thief and a murderer But he cares no more for their opinions than he does for their feel ings, enforcing always obedience to his will. The only soft spot in his heart is occupied by the image of his profiigate and spendthrift son.
 When the play opens-the whole action is supposed to take place within a space of twenty-four hours-he seems to be at the point of realizing all of his ambitions. He sees a chance of almost doubling his fortunes in scheme by which two ras- cally spectators had intended to swindle him and of establishing his social posi- tion by marrying his daughter to the son of neighboring marquis, who has fallen into his power. Then, almost in an instant, the whole fabric of his dreams is shattered The old marquis, after haughtily declaring that any such alli- ance would be preposterous and impossi- ble, submits to the bitter humiliation when he finds that he must either endure

 ing herself on some fishing or exploring expedition, the chief attraction in the home circle being her mothers playing. For hours little Nellie would sit under the piano listening to the music which Mrs
 Mitchell, who was an excellent amateur, played with remarkable touch and feel

Her Point of View.

From Lippincotts Magazine.
 Senator Penrose says that friend of his residing in Wilkesbarre recently en- gagged as nurse Scotch girl just come to this country.
 It appears that one Sunday the lady in- duced the nurse, who Is the strictest sort of Presbyterian, to attend a beautiful church just erected in Wilkesbarre.
 When the girl returned her mistress asked her If she had not foundlthe church a fine one.
 "Yes, masm," responded the girl, it is very beautiful"
 And the singing" said the lady, wasn't that lovely?"
 "Oh, yes" replied the nurse. "t was very lovely ma am, but don't you think it's an awful way to spend the Sabbath?'

 'Is 1t fair to ask Madame, what are your favorite roles?
 Quite fair to ask she replied, with a smile, "only I cannot tell you, for all my roles are favorite ones. You see. I never sing music which I don't like. However 1t may interest you to know that besides singing songs I gave operatc selections from acts of 'Rigoletto, La Traviata. Faust and Lucia di Lammermoor' dur ing my Australian tour"
 "If you had not said you had no favor ite roles, I should have suggested the role of Gilda in 'Rigoletto,' for you made

Arizona"


 Arizona" which will be presented at the Bijou theatre all this week. has ere ated more of furore throughout the country than any play which has been produced during the last decade. When MT Thomas looked about for a subject and location for this, his premiere effort, he settled upon the beautiful Aravaipa valley in Arizona, with it's broad and fer tile acres, on which graze thousands of heads of live stock. At the United States fort, located in this beautiful country, at which was stationed a company of cav airy. MT. Thomas stumbled upon a skele- ton In the closet of the commanding colonel's home. From the facts gathered here, the active brain of the author evolved his charming. comedy drama.
 The coloners wife, being a great deal younger thanSher old but devoted hus band in nioment of weakness listens to the fiattery of a young, good looking but interruptions captain. In the open ing chapters of the play events had pro- gressed so far that she had agreed to elope with him on the evening of the grand ball. when all the members of the post would be gathered in the dance hall. The escapade seems doubly safe, owing to the fact that that colonel has been called away to attend a conference of of- fieers at a distant post. A note contain ing the details of the plot Is intercepted by Lena Kellar a servant girl whom the captain has wronged year previous, and is turned over to Lieutenant Denton, a manly young officer, who is in love with Monita, a sister of the colonePs erring wife.
 The complications are such as to place young Denton in bad light before his commanding officer, who returns unex- pectedly, the officers meeting having been declared off Denton is forced to resign and leave the post, and the colonel and his wife live the life of a house di- vded against itself for some time, until unexpected marching orders bring all the principals together again at the ranch of Canby, where Denton is employed as boss of the cowboys. Here the true facts come to light. the guilty captain is shot by Mexican, Tony, who is in love with the servant Lena Denton is shown in the true character of hero the colonel and his wife are reunited. and peace and quiet restored to ranchman Canby and his high-strung but soft-hearted helpmate The scenic pictures in Arizona" are all taken from original sketches. and the costumes and appurtenances are correct in detail. One of the principals whose name is not on the programme is Bonita's net saddle horse, Cochice. an animal that has seen actual service for number of years on a cattle ranch.
 The company is a first-class one in every respect. having been carefully se- lected for their adaptability to enact their respective roles. and the reduction is the same in every detail as seen during the long run at the Academy of Music, New York.

Viola Allen in"Tho Winters Tale.'

It will hardly be denied that Viola All len, with her production of Twelfth Night last season, did much to popular ize Shakespeare with the average theatre goer An illustration is that of the par son of Goldsmtths Deserted Village" and it Is one which applies nicely in this case: Those who went to scoff remained to pray In Miss Aliens case, however, we should paraphrase this famous line and make it read; Those who went to yawn remained to laugh..' The American stage has hardly had anything. these many years more enjoyable than Miss Aliens Viola in Twelfth Night.v' and so 1t is pleasure to. announce her appearance here as Hermione and Perdita in "The Win ters Tale" There will be those, and very many, too, who would be glad to see Twelfth Night again. this season; in fact once every year for many years to come If such thing were possible
 That "The Winters Tale" will achieve a like success and prove as enjoyable is hardly questionable, Miss Allen proved last season that Shakespeare play could be made a delight, when presented in some other than In the lugubrio,ss fashion which was long in vogue.
