Fabienne Marni. and the youthful SOL
der is with her. The baron sends
him to South Africa, so that he may
recover from his infatuation and
marry the legitimate daughter
While he is gone the illegitimate
one very nobly financially ruins her
father, thinking thus to avenge her
mothers wrong. It's all very melo-
dramatic, and, as mademoiselle is a
singer. a lot of vaudeville turns are
run in. 1t ends with Miss Bingham
on the haron's neck, calling, Father"
So. of course, everything is all right.
The play has been put on at ire
mendous expense, a lot of money
rather foolishly wasted That splen-
did old actor Frederic de Belleville,

POP ANSON ENTERS
THE POLITICAL GAME
Great Ball Player and Bowler Democratic Candidate for
Chcagos City Clerkship-Expects to Line EN- Gu"
in His Palmy Days on the Diamond.

CHICAGO, March 16.-Adrian Com
stantinople Arson, for % years the
idol of fandom, is now in the fierce
white light of the political stage.
The Grand Old Man" is running
for city clerk upon the democratic
ticket, and Chicago is waiting in an
ticipation of much hilarity.
Wondrous speeches are expected
from Uncle Anse, and the Old Ro-
mans campaign will probably be
productive of more fun than the aver
age three-riug circus. At the same
time, the gladiator's candidacy is con-
sidered anything but a Joke
1t is certain he will pull the heav-
lest vote of any democratic nominee,
and the sport-loving element which
will rally to his aid will cast as
heavy a vote as when they triumph
antly elected Tom Barrett sheriff in
the face of a tide which swamped
every colleague on the ticket.
Arson is preparing some red-hot
speeches. A brief interview with the
hero of 5000 diamond trays shows
that he is going at the campaign
just as he used to tackle the umpires
and hostile pitchers.
Il know this much.' said the Old
Man, that if they stick to me OF
frst-I mean, if l go through this
political thing-l'll hold down the
sack as well as anybody who ever
caught a wild throw from third.
This candidate business, l sup
pose, needs a man who can hit some
and who isn't afraid of the spikes

find il easier to travel around the
sacks. but I'll make up for that witt
my hitting and fielding. OF course
Bill LANCE might do better. D'jevel

THE YWERE EASIER TO SEPAR-
ATE FROM THEIR MONEY"
Adolf Hoch
So it was purely business? Well.
Hoch, the much married man, GER
tainly knew his business.
When cunning man wants to fool
someone, wants to get something for
nothing, he picks out his victims
weakest point and makes the most
of it. According to Hoch, woman's
weakest point is her distaste for be-
ing single after As.
He advertised for women over As.
Anyone would naturally think that
woman of that age would know
better than answer a matrimonial adj
vertisement. Hoch, however. thought
that the woman over As would prove
his best subject. Hoch was right.
He had found out, in some way,
that the woman who waits As years
for husband is most likely to prove
an indulgent wife, as he says, they
are easier separated from their
money"
There was once a bachelor maid
who went in the woods to pray for
husband Everyone knows how an
owl shouted down at her, "Whooo!
| Whooo" And everyone has heard
how she called back with frantic
eagerness, "Oh any man, good Lord
Hoch, too, had heard the story, and
he knew that after As was the time
when any man would do.
The straight-back spinster, stern
and determined in the strength of
her single blessedness. sits in harsh
judgment on the silly miss of 16
| who smuggles a paper up to her
room long enough to copy an address
from the column of matrimonial adj
vertisements. And she condemns
without hearing the blushing child
that writes burning love letters to
her absent sweetheart But along
comes As, and, Hoch, and-piff! It's
the same old story, Anybody, good
Lord, will do"

In Russian, freedom of the press
seems to mean freedom with the
press" And this applies to every
paper or magazine sent into the coun-
benighted land.
Every paper or magazine sent into
Russia is read by a censor or censors
at each postoffice before it is deliv-
cred. He can destroy it, if he wishes
and often he does. But the usual pro.
cedure is to blacken with ink any

NEW YORK, March 16.-Miss Ella
Jeffreys of the Haymarket theater of
London, who has been widely herald
ed and much advertised, is at the
New Amsterdam with THE Prince
Consort," 1t can not truthfully be
said that either the star or the play
is worthy of the laudatory advertis-
ing given them. Miss Jeffreys is un-
mistakaEr: a gentlewoman-she is
advertised AS the sister-in-law of an
Garland she does wear stunning
gowns. She is not great actress,
however, and neither is her play a
good play.
In this instance il is mythical Cor
coma, and has to do with marital
woes of its queen and her consort.
The latter is a husband and nothing
more, not being permitted in any way
TO take part in the affairs of the
nation. This he wishes 10 do, feeling
that he has a mission in the world,
but he is constantly snubbed by his
wife's minister.
Queen Sonia upholds the latter and
has her consort publicly arrested.
Prince Cyril filings himself out of
the palace and the queen herself upon
the floor. All about a great deal of
nothing. This takes two acts. In
the third the queen is willing to abdi-
cate rather than be divorced from
her oonsort, and her people change all
their laws and give the prince con-
sort hand In the doings.
