unique creation, that of the title role of
THE Harvester" This scholarly and grace
full portrayer of poetic and romantic roles
seems, to judge from all the praise he has
received during the highly successful run of
the play, to have the best role of his stage

noblemen arrive simultaneously with the
hope that one of them will marry the bey's

daughter chooses an American drummer in

= WHO OWNED THE PEARLP
Peculiar Suit for Gem Found in Oyster
at Cafe,

Is the finder of pearl in an oyster served
in a restaurant entitled to it, or does it be-
long to the proprietor of the restaurant?
The bench of the superior court at Ham,
burg Germany, has taken the question
into consideration. The facts as told in
court are that lady beginning her dinner
at restaurant with oysters bit on some
thing hard and took pearl out of her
mouth. She and her escort discussed it's
value, and finally before the dinner ended
the latter took the pearl to a neighboring
jeweler, who offered him $500 for it. The
man refused to accept this amount and said
the pearl was the property of a lady. The
jeweier followed him to the restaurant and
offered the lady $50, which was also de-
clined.
The conversation attracted the proprie-
tors attention. He inquired into the cir
cumstances, claimed, the pearl and the lady
refused to give it up to him. The proprietor
of the restaurant then brought suit against
the lady averring that the bones of fowls
and shells by traditional custom are left by
customers of a restaurant and are source
of profit to the proprietor.

Shot for His Insurance.

In the mail of the city marshal of Cot
tage Grove, Ore, was letter purporting to
he written by John Fletcher. stating that
the writer was tired of life and had decided
TO commit suicide, and telling the marshal
where to find the body. Fletcher was found
as indicated, with a bullet wound In his
head, but alive. Developments tend to show
that he was shot by John Branton' who, 1t
ia said. wrote the letter, the crime being for
the purpose, it Is alleged, of getting life
insurance of 5000. payable to Branton at
Fletcher's death.
Branton,. while walking along the road,
it is claimed. borrowed Fletcher's revolver
on the pretext OF wanting to kill a wild
animal He then. according to Fletcher's
sworn statement. turned the weapon on the
latter After having shot Fletcher. Bran
ton tried to induce the wounded man to say
that he had shot himself. This Fletcher
refused to do, and later made affidavit
charging Branton with the shooting.

the Christmas eve celebration of the last
act. with its wintry contrast to the autumn
splendor that goes before.
This drama OF the fields has been styled
by the late Francisque Sarcey. the greatest
of all modern French critics. as "a dramatic
idyl of the golden wheat fields. full of the
beauty of sylvan charm, with types Ike
those simple hearted peasant tillers of the
soil gIorifed by Mllet in his famous paint
ing of The Angelus. "
A strikingly curious feature of the play is
that in which the Harvester frightens the
superstitious Seigneur by his gypsy magic.

storm. This scene is remarkable blending
of humorous comedy with almost Mephis-
tophelean effects.
The cast includes Lizzie Hudson Collier,
Marion Abbott J. NJ. Colville, Walter Lewis
and George Clarke.

oldest and most distinguished families in
Philadelphia, died in that city yester-
day of pneumonia. He was ninety-three
years of age Mr.. Hopkinson was closely

tant part.

living member of the Philadelphia bar but
was also the Oldest living graduate of the
University of Pennsylvania. He was ad-
matted to the bar In 1887 and was member

The scholarly performance of Charles
Wyndham offered powerful contrast to the
coon-song frivolities of May Irwin. These
two were the stars of the week-remote in
their orbits, but each fixed luminary. The
Wyndham performances were notable for
even merit rather than for any displays of
individual brilliancy, and their performance
made even as dull play as Mrs Cor
ringe's Necklace mildly interesting.
Miss Irwin is laboring with unwavering
zeal to keep the coon song, to which she Is
so much indebted from falling into disfavor.
But the ragtime ditty of today needs all the
stalwart JUNCTION that she can bestow to
make 1t seem worthy of classification with
the rollicking rythms of other days. The
