HAT REFUSES TO COME OFF
Plump Woman at the Play Has a Hard
Time of It.
From the Philadelphia Record

She was pretty, but rather unduly plump.
yet no one would have dared to tell her So
or even to study her generous figure too
critically. for she was also mfddle-ag,d
and dignified and sufficiently self-posed 10
come to the theater alone at night Her
seat in the middle of the row. was the
only one left vacant when she came down
the aisle. and people sitting there viewed
her with some anxiety when they observed
her ample size.
She managed however to squeeze tnro,yb

peoples feet, and despite the impedmen ts
OF fan, an umbrella, an opera glass bag
a program and a pair of gloves. When she
sank into her seat her sigh of relief was
echoed by all the people whom she had
passed. and the men in the seat on each
side of her promptly took their elbows off
the chair arms to give her all the room
possible for the welding of her fan.
When the curtain had gone I'D without
her having removed her hat a man imme-
dfately behind her leaned over and asked
her If she minded taking it off Without
turning or replying she put both arms up
and began to tug at a hat pin. Slowly some
of the things on her lap began to slide eff
and the opera glass bag with its contents
reached the floor before she made a grab
for them. 1t was clearly impossible Tor her
to stoop over straight in front of her. The
men at each side. each desiring to get the
bag, went through a little pantomime of
other and then at the same instant made
dive for the glasses Their heads came
together in resounding whack just above
the large lady's knees, but one of them
arose with the glasses in his hand and
gave them to her
Then she punched all her things in
wad on her lap and started to work on the
refractory hat pin again. 1t baked at
first, but finally came with such rush that
her elbow went fairly and squarely into
the eye of the man on her right She put
the pin in her mouth with the point toward
the man on her left side and then her
neighhors at sides and rear saw, with ris-
ing perturbation. that there were at least
two hat pins still to come.
The man behind leaned over and sa:d
"Pray don't trouble yourself further, mad

The man on her left lodged wildly for
fear she should turn her head in his drec-
ton with the long pin in her mouth point
ed toward him. But she did not turn. She
went at the pin again. Things slid off her
lap but neither of the men at her side
dared to reach for them. She tugged and
tugged and the man behind her begged her
again to leave the hat where 1t was. She
paid no attention. however, and at last
the head covering came off. She was
flushed and hot and her hair was blousled

having known what the play was all about.

INTERNATIONAL CRICKET
New York Team Led Englishmen IL
First Days PLAY,

At the close of the first days play in
the international cricket match between
the Marylebone team of England and the
metropolitan League eleven at Staten Is
land yesterday the Americans led by a
single run. The Metropolitan team tailed
ninety-six runs
Among the spectators during the after
noon were the British ambassador Sir
Henry Mortimer Durand, and Lord Harris.
the famous English cricketer
The ground at Livingstone, where the
match is being played, presented an I'M
usually animated appearance
The play itself SO far has produced one
or the closest matches ever played by a
visiting team of New York. The result of
the game will now depend altogether on
the play today. Marylebone may be con-
sidered to have an advantage in batting
first but the wicket is more in favor of the
bowlers than batSmen.
The bowlers had things pretty much
their own way, and no stand made
which could be called very productive
partnership. A. G. Laurie and C. A. Worm
put on 80 runs after four wickets had
fallen for q, and A. S. Durrant and F. F.
Kelly raised the score from Il to 90 for the
last wicket. These were the best efforts.
The feature of the play was undoubt-
eddy NJ. r. Cobb's bowling. Not one of
the Englishmen could master his delivery,
and he was credited with six wickets for
40 runs. y. A diSO JUN Do"ico
fielded splendidly, while H. c. Mcdonnell
did the best work for the Englishmen, with
four wickets for 1S runs.
The bowling Of the local men was excel
lent, and despite the fact that Kelly and
Worm were injured during the early part of
the contest. the Englishmen were pushed
to the top Of their game.
Wyld, for the visitors. made %; Stow
made 1S. and Mann was the only other to
reach double figures. with II runs.
The work of Hurditch. wicket keeper for
the New York team, was very clever and
in this respect he was not far behind Stow.
who played the same position for the
Englishmen.
The Englishmen lost their first wicket
in the second innings for Z runs.

Now, the fact is, as the writer knows
from personal connection with those
times, that Governor Taft while in the is
lands was as frank with the Filipinos as the
delieacy of the situation then existing would
permit. He told them some unfavorabIe
things about themselves, straight from the
shoulder. and was liked in spite of It. But
the situation has been lettering all the

Secretary's Views Unknown.

his views upon the pros and cons of this
question, he does not care to say at this
stage of the trip, quite naturally preferring
to canvass all sides of it after he shall ar
rive at Manila. When Intercepted the
other day, he himself expressed some con-
fusion of mind over recent reports from the
islands regarding split of the federal
party, which has been since the close <f,f
1900 an instrument for the crystalliza ton OF
Filipino sentiment favorable to American
administration, either temporary or permd-
nent, and over the formation of a Wright
party and Taft party" The truth is
the cablegrams from the islands were writ
Ten, as usual. with insufficient information
of what is going on among Filipinos, and
were too much skeletonized TO give more
than a hint of what is the status and that
hint only to those fully posted on couIi-
tons in the Islands and able to read between
the lines
There has been a tendency during the
past year among the radical F'iiipinos IDEAL
ing alone with the honest radicals and dis
regarding the cheap demagogues who cling
about the skirts of every movement or eX-
to think that Secretary Taft was not so
frank while he was in the Islands as he
seemed to be, to think that he won the
people with his jolly smile and glad hand
that he was an ''habil diplomatico'' (cleyer
diplomat), one Filipino put it to the
writer, but all the time had a rigid policy
of action conceived. which he was going
to carry out, regardless of Filipino senti-

the impression that the schooner Prosper

not be, as the three-masted Prosper, op-

HERzle'S BODY is FOUND

OF Charles HerzlE, who left written con-

secluded ravine just over the line in the

on which was written the following:

sion and threat Of suicide at the Byer
ranch his body might not have been found
for years. as 1t was hanging In a spot
seldom visited. Around his neck was a
shred of green yelling, such as women
use for face wells. 1t is recalled by a
former young stockman here that Lizzie
Grombacher wore such veil when MUIR
dered and that part OF It was used to
strangle her The piece found about Her
zigs neck is supposed to be the remainder
of the veil as he showed such a piece
to a fellow ranchman TO whom he told the
story of his crime, declaring that he had
kept it all these years so as to use It TO
end his own life.
At the time It was thought Herzig was
demented. Herzg said that after com
hitting the murder and exchanging shirts
with Sterling, he went to Warren, o.,
where he was employed as a gardener.
After Sterlings arrest and trial he fed to
Pennsylvania, where he remained in hiding
until the eve of Sterlings execution, when
he stole horse and went west. He set
tied in Telluride county, where he mar
ried. Ohio people commenced TO move in
and. becoming frightened, he deserted his
wife and child and went to Death Valley
in California. Since then he had been a
