"The Girl from ICny." ot the krux


Two of the largest audiences Of the season
assembled at the Krug theater to welcome
The Girl from Kays' yesterday, a special
matinee being given. This piece has lost
nothing OF it's original attractiveness
through being transferred from the higher
to the lower price theaters. It's music is
just as crisp and sparkling as ever, and
the fun it exudes is just as funny Bobby
North has the role made famous by Sam
Bernard that of Max Hoggenheimer, who
was so rich he couldn't be vulgar, and
gives the eccentricities of the individual
much life and snap. He has made careful
study of the role, and finds in 1t ample
opportunity for expression 1t is a capital
piece of work he doesA The girl this
season is Lila Blow, who also has charms
OF person and a manner that is decidedly
fetching. She manages her affair with
Hoggenheimer in a most artistic and diplo-
matte way. Paul George Decker is good
in the essentially silly part of Fitzthistle,
and Kathleen Clifford is clever SOU
brette. Miss Morton looks well and acts
well as Norah Chalmers, but Joseph Tuohy
falls a little short OF the mark as Harry
Gordon. The company is large and SPLEEN
didly equipped with costumes and scenery,
and the piece is we'll produced in every
detail. "The Girl from Rays" stays the
rest OF the week, with a matinee on Satur-
day.

The tragic story OF Virginia and her de-
voted father still has hold on the popular
heart as is attested by the presence of a
goodly number Of people at the Boyd last
night TO witness the presentation OF this
| fine play by MIR. Louis James and his COM
| pany. Mr.. Knowles seized an incident that
| has its roots deep In human sympathy, and
decks it with rare flowers Of poetic fancy,
/ TIL 1t stands forth an undimmed creation
/ Of tragic force. 1t enlists as few others OF
the classic tragedies do, the element SO in
/ definitely defined as heart interest" and
holds the sympathy of all from first to last
| for the fond father and tender daughter
| In this II has the first and chiefest element
! Of greatness.
Mr.. James is all that might be wished in
! Nirginius. He is the fond indulgent father
the kind and generous friend, the brave
| soldier and the loyal citizen of Rome More
over, he is the man with SUFFICIENT of cour
age to protect his daughter from a ravisher
even at the expense Of her life and his A
! splendid figure, voice Of power, Mr.. James
very happily unites the old and new school
of acting. He has had training and ex-
| perience in both and brings to his use the
| best Of each. He well deserves the rank
/ he has attained among Americas great
actors.
| Norman Hackett as Icillius Is thor
| oughly satisfying actor He reads his lines
with splendid effect, getting the full mean
ing of the pregnant sentences written for
the part, and yet without bomhast and
commands without posing. James A. Young
/ enacts the thankless role of the libldinous
| tyrant with excellent taste. His voice
! manner and bearing are those of the AFRO
CANT, heartless and truculent libertine
! Charles Stedman gives to the role Of Den
! tatus due dignity, and speaks his words
| with uncommon eject and direction.
! Miss Aphie James, daughter OF the star
and the second of the family to adopt her

and winsome Virginia. Young and full of
the buoyant life OF fresh. innocent girl

ers in the cast are good the entire company
being strong in every regard and well cal
culated for the line of plays being offered
! At the matinee "Ingomar, the Barbar-

most intimately related to the whole labor
Resolved by the American Federation Of
Labor, That we indorse this movement for
a thorough investigation of the subject by
the United States government, and recon-
mend all affilated bodies to use their best
'ndeavors to secure the passage by con
'ress of bill having this end in view.
Such substantial support of one of tho
ndst important movements yet inauguratcd
by the club women will mean much and is
appreciated by the women in proportion.
II will doubtless be interesting to many
club women to know that Mrs. Webster
Glynes, president of the Society of American
! Women in London, which cherishes the
much discussed scheme OF establishing
scholarships in English universities Tor
American girls, was for five years presi-
dent of Sorosis Of New York. AS Miss
Ella Dietz Clymer, she was chairman of
the advisory board of the General FEEDER
alton of Women's Clubs from 1888 to 1890,
and did much toward perfecting the organi
zatlon Of that body. In the December
Keystone Miss Louisa b. Poppenheim,
corresponding secretary of the General
Federation, tells briefly of her recent visit
to London and her entertainment by the
Society of American Women. an oTgani
zation of $50 members, and it is largely
due to Mrs. Glynes' loyalty and strong
executive ability that the society has kept
in touch with the mother organization in
America.
Attention is called to the following letter
which has been sent to the general feder-
alton secretary of every state:
Dear Madam: The next biennial con-
Venton of the General Federation OF WO-
mems Clubs will be held at st. Paul MINI.
II will open May 81 1906, and close June Z.
Al
attention is called to article II, section 4,
of the bylaws concerning the admission
of the clubs to membership, as follows:
Section The committee shall admit no
organization whose application is not filed
with the president of the general federation
at least ninety days preceding the first day
of the biennial meeting"
VIII you kindly see that all clubs in your
state desiring to join the federation have

under standing Very sincerely yours,

Wise Birds.

At Fort Apache, Ariz., there are
numbers of ravens, shiny, black birds,
much bigger than crows. One day a
dog took bone out onto the parade
grounds and settled down to gnaw it..
Two ravens spied him and thought
they would like the bone too. They
went down and circled about the dog $
head, talking to each other all the
time. Every now and then they would
make dash at the bone. but when
ever they were within reach the dog
snapped at them. Finally one Of the
ravens lighted on the ground behind
the dog, while the other still flew
about his head. Then the raven that
was on the ground went up close to
the dog, and seized the end of the dog 8
tail in his bill and gave it a hard pinch.
When the dog whirled around to see
what was hurting him, the raven that
was in front of him pounced on the
bone and flew away with it and the
raven on the ground jumped quickly
aside, spread it's wings and flew after
it's mate.

Doc Cracked and Ate Nuts.
TFrom Washington {


81 made discovery a few days ago
that was certainly a new one to me,
remarked local newspaper man.
During the Christmas holidays large
dish of nuts, in the shell, reposed on
the sideboard in my dining room. NO
matter how often the dish was repien-
ished / noticed that the contents dis
appeared with surprising rapidity.
Finally / felt that it was necessary TO
mildly demonstrate with my wife, so
so l warned her that she would GER
tainly make herself sick If she contin-
ued to to eat so many of the nuts. She
denied that she had partaken OF any
of them, so we inaugurated a watch
on the dish in the hope of learning the
identity of the pilferer.
II was little short of amazed, after
waiting an hour or two, to see our lit
tie fox terrier jump up onto a settee
and reach carefully over to the dish on
the sideboard with a paw. Next an
English walnut and pecan were pushed
over the side of the dish and fell to the
floor The dog leaped down, cracked
the nuts with his teeth and ate the
meat as adertly as any squirrel could
have done. After sthe operation had
been repeated several times I inter-
rupted the footing. / did not know be-
fore that a canine would steal, crack
ard nat nuts"

Five Hundred Dollars for a Kiss.

Zone stolen kiss, $780,, is the mem
orandum which was placed on the
Cleveland police court cash record last
week, and represents the exact amount
which Henry Hoffman parted with for
the pleasure of one sounding smack
which he placed on the pink cheek OF
young woman. Hoffman arrived In
Cleveland with very thick roll of bills
in his trousers pocket. After watching
several bartenders mixing drinks for
some time he sailed forth to see the
town.
Near street corner he spied a
rounded cheek behind fur boa and
without more ado planted a sounding
kiss upon 1t. The young woman blush
ed but when patrolman collared Hoff-
man she declared that she would not
appear against him. The patrolman.
however, sent him to police headquar-
tiers with the charge of disturbance
against him.
The prisoner had $1,070 in his pocket
and promptly peeled off five 800 bills
for cash bond for his appearance in
court next morning. He failed to ap-
pear and the bond was forfeited.

cost and increase of production and is
| The Iron Age shows, for example, that
| for making two oil pumps of a certain
kind the cost Is $2O.19 each, but the
same pumps in lots of twelve cost but
$G.12. Concentration on one article
pays and the use Of a separate ma
chine for each part of an article pays,

But the Age finds danger in special
ization. Thus eff IL new machine be
invented which will by increasing the
output only 10 per cent, reduce the
cost an equal amount, it pays to scrap
the old machine. In many instances
improvements have been made which
have reduced the cost to manufacture

article at the lowest cost, for which
there may be constant demand at a

ter goods atl far lower cost, and the
utility of the old plant is at once de-

Narrowly Escaped Spelling.

Senator Frye says that when he was
a boy he narrowly escaped being spoil
ed by a Quaker grandfather. Young
Frye was going on a trip to Boston
and just before he started his grand
father said:
Thou art going to Boston. Here is
IS for thee to spend while there"
The youngster accepted gladly, of
course, but" he now says in telling the
story. II did not know any Boston boys
in those days and consequently saw
nothing to spend the money for. Re-
turning to Maine after my city visit,
my grandfather called me to him again.
William he said, 'didst thou spend
the money / gave thee"
Il had, of course, to confess that l
handn't, whereupon he said:
I" William, give it back to me-
"And 1 did as requested. That sad
experience taught me a bad habit, for
ever since then when I have had any
money have spent it to prevent it's
falling into other hands"
