"The College Widow" At
tracts Capacity House.

Henry w. Savage's company pre-
sented George AIDES comedy. The Col
lege Widow. at the Columbia Thea
ter last night before a capacity audi
ence. The play, which is full of the
best comedy and satire, was as well
staged and as well acted as was the
case when it was first produced in
Washington. and made as good an i'm
preston.
AS a picture of college life, the play
is unsurpassed, while the characters
introduced take any college man back
to the days of his youth. Throughout
the evening the audience punctuated
the performance with bursts of ap-
plause, and at the close of the third
act, when the football game had been
won. the entire company was called
again and again before the curtain.
The company this year is almost
the same as when the play was first
put on. Frances Ring, as Jane With
erspoon. the College Widow, made a
good impression, and did good work.

college to play for her institution
Gertrude Quinlan, as Flora Virgins. a
waitress, won much applause with her
work.
Thomas Meighan. in the part of
Billy Bolton, the star halfback. was
well received, his fine figure and stage
presence being much in his favor.
Other laughable work was done by
Edwin Holt, the President of the n

silent Murphy, the center rush:

The whole company was good and
Mr. Savage has spared nothing in put
ting on the play in elaborate style.

SOME BIG OYSTERS.

The usual size of the shell of an oyster
is three TO five inches, but away back in
Tertiary times there were oysters in
California that had shells thirteen inches
long and seven or eight inches wide
The animal and shell doubtless weighed
ffteen or twenty pounds, since the shells
were five inches thick. These oysters
have long been extinct, but their fossil
shells are abundant. If the oyster
farmer could produce individuals of such
enormous size now, and the flavor were
good in proportion to its size we would
be most fortunate. In that case a single
oyster would be enough for one stew at
the church feStival,-St. Nicholas
