Observation-Disclosures Jr.U

Madeline Lucette Ryley's comedy IS
again being interpreted by the Ferris
Stock company. This week it is "Chris-
topher, .Jr.," a clever play, but one that
suffers by comparison with other offerings
from the same source. With a few excep-
lions the members of the company fall
below their ordinary high standard of
merit.
A s%pendthrift son of a self-made mer-
chant is married. in Trinidad, to a woman
he never sees and under the most pecu-
liar circumstances. He later falls in love
with a young woman of whom his father
approves, only to be disinherited and
driven from home by his crotchety old
parent who learns Of his sons former at
tachment. The young woman is equally
in love and learning that the young man.
whose identity she does not know, Is 60
ing to Bombay, she accompanies her
uncle to the same destination. The dis
Inherited covers himself with glory in
business, wins the girls further approba-
ton and finally gains his fathers for
g1veness and after uncountable compli-
cations learns that he is in love with his
own wife from whom he has been I'M
Willingly seeking separation so that he
may marry her over again.
The plot has interest. Their are some
dramatic situations and some the humor
of which cannot be gainsaid. Some of the
lines sparkle with the authors character
istic cleverness. AS a whole, however
the production needs "blue penciling.'
and needs it badly. It drags sadly dur
ing the first two acts and the "curtains'
have the effect of making the auditor
feel as tho he has happened under a cold
shower. The last two acts are much bet
ter and the action at times grows fast
and mirth-compelling.
Florence Stone as Major Hedway's
niece and the cause Of all the difficulty,
proves herself to be a coincidence of real
ability. Her righteousness is charming,
her gowns are faultlessly fetching and
her business" is remarkably we'll worth
while.
Dick Ferris expresses the average au-
ditor's opinion when he speaks the line,
"Oh; I haven't begun to be funny yet

STRICT QUARANTINE
Three Houses at Fort Isolated for Scar
let Fever.

Three houses at Fort Smelling are
under quarantine on account OF scarlet
fever. The enforcement Of a quaran-
tine at an army post is a very strict
affair, no person except the attending
surgeon being allowed to enter or
leave the house for any purpose what
ever. When necessary, sentlnels are
posted to see that these orders are
strictly carried out. -.
All the cases at the fort are chill

danger of extension Of the infection is
at an end, owing to the rigid measures
taken by Colonel Sweet.

AARON BURR, HERO, PATRIOT,
STATESMAN AND MUCH ELSE.-Aaron
Burr is the hero Of Little Burr,
by Charles FELTON, Pidgin, author of
'Blennerhassett' and THE Climax"
which, with Little Burr make a
trilogy. Mr.. Pidgin is a great admirer
of Burr, and thinks he has been greatly
maligned by historians and the press.
1t is his intention to set Burr right with
the world, at least in a measure, by a
Life Of Burr" soon to be completed.
Naturally one with Mr.. Pidgin's views
Of Burr, in writing a novel with young
Burr for the hero, would make the boy
out very heroic. The story is, there
fore, one Of adventure, bravery, endur-
ance, cleVerness, the story of an admir-
able youth. But it leads up to an at
tack on Alexander Hamilton which seems
hardly necessary in order to complete the
story. 1t runs in part thus:
The student Of history does not know, but he
Will learn, when the real facts Of the case are
presented to him, as they will be, that the
political and social reputation of Aaron Burr,
which was in reality d living death, was the
result of a conspiracy conceived in the most
malignant spirit and carried out in the most
Infamous manner.
In this conspiracy, says Mr.. Pidgin
were Hamilton n Jefferson, with others.

RULES OF CONDUCT FOR MEN,:
WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO Do IT,
Charles Harcourt has written g, little book
which bears the title Good Form for Men.
Mr.. Harcourt has not given his creden-
tials with his book, and we do not find
him described in who's Who" Still
he speaks with a certain authority on
the subjects discussed in his book, and,
furthermore, writes interestingly Of things
one likes to know about, SO the absence
of credentials and the neglect Of the pub
fishers of who's Who" may be over
looked. Mr.. Harcourt says his books
purpose is to help the man, be he a,
member Of a rural community or of the
club circles of a city, who desires to
regulate his life after the manner of gen.
tlemen." He discusses dress and toilet
from hats to hosiery, and proper con-
duct in public from theater to church,
reminding his readers that hitching up
ones trousers to avoid bagging at the
knees is intolerable anywhere, and in
church worst Of all. He reveals all the
mysteries of visiting cards, he tells how
introductions should be made and how to
carry on a polite correspondence. He de-
votes a chapter to smoking, also. He
will find many who would revise this
chapter to one word-'Don't!" But If
you must smoke, Mr.. Harcourt can tell
you things that may add to your en-
joyment and the comfort Of others also,
if you can afford to obey his rules. He
is evidently fond of his pipe, and he is
down on the hygienic pattern. Of this
he says: THE man who would smoke one
Of these denominations might be expected
to kiss his wife only thru a respirator."
This is enough to show that the author
of Good Form for Men, has ideas and
is able to express them.
