RECTOR BECOMES AN ACTOR
Astonishes England When He Plays
the Hero in a Drama Written
by His Wife
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special CaDle 10 Inc
LONDON, Dec. 16.-The connection
between the church and stage has been
drawn closer by the efforts of the Rev
]. Greathead, rector of Corringham
Essex, and his wife. The latter, who
is a daughter of the late DR.. Gaunt-
lett of musical fame, has written a
romantic play, founded on fact, en-
titled 1.-THE Master Carver in which
her husband plays the part of the hero.
The play was produced last night at
Southend in the parish room of All
Saints. of which DIR. Lang, who is him
self an enthusiastic devotee of things
theatrical, Is the vicar. There was a
crowded audience, which showed high
appreciation of the performance.
The time of the play is placed in
1909, during the invasion of Italy by
Napoleon, and the scene Is laid in the
little village of Oberammergau. The
plot turns on the betrayal of Peter, a
villager, of the secret pass of Ettal,
which led directly from Oberammergau
down into Italy.
The part of the hero. Gottlieb
Schmaltz, the master carver, was
taken with conspicuous ability by the
Rev. J. Greathead, and A. Clifton KEEL
way, a London journalist, appeared as
the carver's assistant.
The other characters were taken by
villagers of Corringham, who were sur
prisingly good in their various roles.
The Rev. j. Greathead speaking to
an Express representative before the
performance said: I'VE have had an
amateur dramatic company in connec-
ton with our church at Corringham for
twelve years. L have always taken a
great interest in the stage and 1 have
never found any pdejudice against
plays among church people
This is not the only play my wife
has written. She is the authoress or
Esther" a drama of a more ambitious
type than 1.-The Master Carver"

ON LOWER
Stakes At BRIDGE
UNITED STAND AGAINST HIGH
PLAY IN LONDON
Once 5000 Pounds Was Won and Lost

New Game, Now

LONDON, Dec 16.-As a result of
strong feeling among bridge players
the stakes on the game have been
greatly lowered.
For some time after the introduce
ton of bridge into England $4,000 used
to be won and lost every hour at one
OF the premier clubs The winners
were always the half-dozen best play
ers i'll the club, and as the losers real
lied this. they quite naturally objected
to contribute so handsomely to the
skill of the winners.
Almacks, where the points are los
per 100 and the new Bridge club, where
the points are IS Cd per 100, are flour
ishing exceedingly.
AT the Portland club, which is prac-
tically the headquarters of bridge, the
points were originally &5 a hundred
and go on the rubber, and at the Turf
club not so long ago bridge was occa-
slonally played for two-shilling points
or $40 per hundred, and 91O on the
rubber.
Points Reduced
Recently at the Portland the points
have been reduced to e2 los per hun
dred and Go per hundred is now the
maximum at the Turf.
Where bridge is really increasing
and multiplying is in the country.
where 1t is played in nearly every
private house for quite moderate stakes
generally tenpence a hundred
The popularity of bridge is threat
ened by revival of patience.
In many of the card clubs of Lon
don patience, which was once regarded
merely as the solace of old maids de-
clininS years, now has a regular fol-
lowing, and has developed attractions
for some of the most accomplished
card players in the country
There are about 800 forms of ths
game, but as a medium for gambling
the most popular variation is the
Demon" When this variation Is
adopted two players play the game
alternately each stalking either that
the other will not get the game to
come out" or upon the number OF
cards each gets out.
Patience as Luck Tester
Patience, however, is largely played
without any reference to gambling
Many bridge players, and especially
women, make a point of testing their
luck at solitary game of patience be-
fore embarking in a rubber of bridge.
II the patience comes out" it is
sign that they will hold mo trumpeIs

spade hands are indicated, and bridge
Is eschewed for that particular day
Patience, by the way, has literature
almost as extensive as chess. Dozens
OF books have been published on the
game. and as every year new variations
are Invented, the number is likely to
be increased. AT present the finest
collection of patnce editions Is to be

LONDON, Dec. 16.--Mrs. Nat Good"
wins new house here is being made
ready for her. as she is expected back
in London early in the new year. Hlth-
erto her headquarters has always been
at Claridges, but before she started for
America she decided to take home or
her own. and it is being redecorated
and furnished regardless of expense,
vet il goes without saying It Is sure 10
be i'm perfect style and perfect taste.
1t is a mystery to her friends ana
foes alike how Maxine Elliott has
achieved for herself the extraordinarily
brilliant social position which is hers
in England. Scores of women VINO are
the wives of millonaires, English ana
American, can never aspire to pass the
threshold of homes where she is re-
ceived with the utmost warmth ana
cordiality. She and the duchess OF
Sutherland were particularly intimate
last season. The duchess of Marlbor-
ough, too, singled her out for social
favor. though perhaps the duchess is
even a greater friend of Mrs. Good
wins sister. Gertrude Forbes Robert
son.
Rare Distinction for Her
During the London season popular
actresses are received at some of the
hest houses in a manner unknown any
rarely invited to country house parties.
To Mrs. Goodwin. however, has fallen
the privilege of being received in the
most sWagger country seats in the
kingdom. She has been TO Trentham
with the Sutherlands: to Dalmeny,
Lord Rosebery's place in Scotland; to
Warwick castle TO Blenheim and l"
other aristocratic family homes.
Mrs. Goodwin has had, however, to
nav n good price for her popularity
in the envy and jealousy of many of
her own sex. This autumn there was
a story going the rounds to the effect
that Maxine Elliott had promised
young countrywoman, in that good
natured manner which all her friends
SO well know. to get her, if possible,
included in a house party at Dalmely'
Girl Worries Her
The girl, who was ambitious and
bourgeois, worried the very life out or
the actress to do this for her, as she
had made up her mind that she was
going to marry Lord Rosebery, for
whom she had conceived a wild devo-
tion, though she knew him only by
his portraits and his speeches. This
girl was present when an invitation
came from the countess OF CreWe,
Lord Roseberys daughter, asking Mrs.
Goodwin to Scotland, and going over
to her she demanded
Have they asked you to bring me-

"Selfsh!" exclaimed the aspirant for
the hand of the eX-premier. You are
like all the married women; you want
all the men. Now take that and that.
and she slapped poor Mrs. Goodwin S
face as hard as she could.
History does not record if that lady
has yet got to Dalmeny, but for the
sake of the liberal party 1T is to be

HEALTH OFFICER
 AFTER SCAVENGERS
LATTER CHARGED WITH DUMP ING FOUL STUFFS IN THE
 STREETS.
Health Officer Says Nothing of the Kind Will Be Allowed-Fierce odors Bred by Rains and Subsequent Hot Weather in the City.

People along the street leading by the Belmonut lodging house and in the vicinity of that thoroughfare have been making complaint for a couple of days of unusually vile odors clogging the at mOsphere. The exact cause was a mystery until yesterday morning. when a resident in the vicinity of the Bel mont who was up when the scavenger wagon came along discovered a MeXi- can employe dumping the water in cans taken from dry closets into the street instead of into the wagon. When taken to task about the matter the
 Mexican employe replied that he could do nothing else as his wagon would not accommodate more than the solid matter contained in the cans.
 Health Officer Spaulding was in formed of the occurrence in the after
 noon. and at once left for the head
 quarters of the scayengers to make the fur fly Tn that department. The
 health officer until yesterday had been
 confined to hls bed for several days SC
 yerely iil and said when seen last af
 ternoon that he had not been able tc
 keep the close watch on his scav
 engers that he had kept up to the time Of being Ill. That the pouring of any part of the stuff taken from dry closets onto the streets should be stopped instanter, he declared would positively occur.
 The scavengers have instructions to clean up everything in the way of of fai and garbage. and to leave nothing behind, and if the men now employed could not do this others would be found at once who could. the health officer said.
 Aside from this feature the scaven ger work under the direction of the | health officer since he had taken holC ' has been highly satisfactory and decid ] ed progress has been made in tho work of cleaning up the town.

CHILD IS FATALLY
 BURNED BY GASOLINE
FAULTY GENERATOR OF STOVE CAUSED AN EXPLO-
 SION.
Two-Ysar-oid Son of N. J. 5yrne Set -Aflame-Mother Carried Little One sout Doors, Sustaining Severe Bat
 Not Serious Burns.

The explosion of a gasoline stove with a faulty generator yesterday morning caused a child to sustain burns which the attending physician. DT. Cohen, said last night would in all probability prove fatal.
 The child was the two-year-old son of Mir. and Mrs. N. J. Byrne. The lit tie one was prattling and clinging to the skirts of it's mother while the lat ter was endeavoring to light the stove. Suddenly there was a flash, and in an instant the clothing of the child, which seemed to catch all the flame, was ablaze. Mrs. Byrne screamed and at the same moment caught the little one in her arms and ran outdoors.
 The scream awakened MT. Byrne, and he raE from his room to the frantic mother in the yard. Seizing the child from her arms he smoothered the flames attaching to it with a blanket, and then smothered the flames that had attached to Mrs. ByTne. She was only slightly injured.
 A physician was immediately sent for. and all possible has since been done to relieve the sufferings of the child. It is not believed, however, that it can survive the day.

GREAT CROWD SURE
 AT SUNDAY GAME
cANANEA AS CONFIDENT AS IS sIsBEE OF WINNING AT ELkS
 BENEFIT.
Three Innings by Elks in Advance of Game by Regular Team Will Add Much to Amusement Features or Afternoon.

The splendid ball played by Bisbee on fast Sunday with Tucson is re- sponsible tS large degree for a great deal of interest that is being exhibit ed in the game which comes next Sun day between Bisbee and Cananea in this city Added to the game itself is additional attraction through the fact that it occurs at an Elks benefit, and that it will be preceded by three inn ings between Bisbee and Cananea Elks, arrayed for the occasion in garb that will not take from the amuse- ment features. Together the feat ures are expected, with good reason, to get out the biggest crowd that Don Luis Park has had in it's history. e 1t is yet doubtful whether Bisbee will be as strong in next Sunday s game as it was in that of last Sunday, as two of it's players may be shy, Holt having gone to Ei Paso and Haslam being laid up with a crippled foot. Sub stitutes for these two players who will hold down their ends creditably, how ever. are believed to be available. At any rate the home team expresses confidence that t will be sufficient for
 
 word sent to the city yesterday ex- pressed the opinion that Bisbee would not be in the running. The Cananea team defeated Nogales Sunday and IS feeling much braced over it. No gales gave Tucson a hard rub a cou ple of weeks ago. and in defeating the border town folks the Cananea team has come to the conclusion that they have put themselves a bit better than on par with Tucson. Consequently they consider themselves in the Bisbee team class, with possibly a trifle the best of it in view of the one defeat that Bisbee took at the hands of Tue son.
 The Bisbee team will meet tomorrow night for the purpose of effecting a business organization. This was to ---rate rv-S4oue last week, but the boys failed to get together. As a result they are without a manager in fact. though Nr. Sowle has been looked to as filling that position. His election will undoubtedly be made tomorrow night.
 h regard to the challenge from Tue son, it is now impossible for the Bis. bee team to accept the offer The latter calls for game with the same team that was played here on last Sunday. This is impossible in view of the departure of Holt. 1t is expect ed, however. that correspondence with Tucson will bring about another meet ing with Bisbee within a few weeks
