COAL STOCKS GIVEN AWAY.
One Official Presented with Shares
Worth 1907 900.

Worth 1907 900.
elphia.-Further revelations
concerning stockholdings in soft coal
companies by officials of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad were made Wednesday
when the interstate commerce COM
mission resumed its investigation into
the alleged discrimination by railroads
in the distribution of cars.
Three high officials of the railroad,
First Vice President John p. Greene,
Third Vice President Samuel Rea and
William A. Patton, assistant to the
president at Philadelphia, were the
important witnesses of the day. The
persistent questioning of Attorney
Glasgow for the commission, brought
out the fact that Mr.. Patton had ac-
quired stock, the par value of which
is $307,0 900, in various coal companies
without cost to himself He explained,
however, that he had signed notes OBJ
ligating himself for his share of the
losses and declared his belief that 1t
was proper for him to accept the stock
under those conditions,

At the Jefferson theatre Tuesday matinee

evidently knows a good play when she
sees one During her career as a star
che has picked nothing but successes, a
record that few actresses can point to
during recent years. Already this season
IN Philadelphia and other cities of the
east Kiss Remark had achieved great
personal triumphs in her new role.
When 1t was announced that Mr.. Fitch

was laid In "Olden and Golden Days"
1t was but natural that Mr.. Fitch should
have hardened back to the Georges period,
and again prospected in a domain which
had yielded such rich dramatic ore. Brum-
nell was the hero of his first Georgian
play while Betty Singleton is the heroine
of his later effort. Miss Remark has
appeared in dramas laid in various periods
of time. The chief requisite has always
been that the play be good one. While
certaiA periods are more picturesque than
others, a moving story, finely told and
capitally presented, is so alluring that its
locale is of second consideration. I'm
questionably, Miss Remark would not
have baked at a drama laid in modern
time, for she has appeared in several in
recent years, notably '"rhe Eternal City,
If 1.-THE Toast of the Town" has happened
to be a modern society comedy, and Miss
Remark had thought it a worthy play,
she would have unquestionably appeared
in It. However, 1.-THE Toast of the Town

the picturesque period of George the III.
In this play Miss Remark impersonates
Betty Singleton. who was supposed to
have been a famous actress of the time

The fight lasted forty-two rounds, and
was one Of the fiercest that was ever seen
in this country. The negro finally won
on a foul, and the decision met with the
approval of the vast audience which wit
