are to be entertained with the produce
tion of 1.-THE Two Gentlemen of Verona"
During the New York season of the
Ben Greet company of English players,
the greatest hit made was that of Miss
Constance Crawley's portrayal of Julia
in this comedy. Her reading of this
role is a model of poetic defamation.
Her facial expression subdued, but
ever eloquent, and the air of spiritual
ity, which irradiates her acting as in
definable as it is pervasive. The man
ner in which 1.-The Two Gentlemen of
Verona" is given by the Crawley COM
pany is truthful, simple demonstra
tion of pure and lofty histrionic
method, entirely different from the
snowy, complex expedients used by a
wilderness of leading women" and
"stars." The performance will be pre-
sented in the Elizabethan manner. For
settings, handsome tapestries will be
employed. Special rates will be given
to students. teachers and clubs. The
cast is as follows Duke of Milan, father
to Silvia, Mr.. Thompson; Valentine and
Proteus, the two gentlemen, William
Osborne and Arthur Maude; Antonio,
father to Proteus, Mr.. Davies; Thurio
a foolish rival to Valentine, Alfred
Wilkes; Speed. clownish servant to
Valentine, Gavin Young; Launce, the
like to Proteus, Garnet Holme host,
where Julia lodges Mr.. Wilson; Lur-
eta, waiting woman to Julia, Miss
Maude Turner; Silvia, beloved of Val
entine, Mrs Burton, and Julia, beloved
of Proteus, Miss Constance Crawley.

PUPILS WILL
BE GOVERNORS
NEW DISCIPLINE PREVAILS IN
PUBLIC SCHOOL
Principal Hazen Will Today Try Ex-
pertinent of Letting Pupils Elect
Board Which Will Regulate
Details of School Life

A school in which the children are the
governing power and in which board
of governors composed of the pupils of
the school metes out punishment to
the refractory is the latest thing in
school experiments.
AT the First street school, located at
East First and Savannah streets, the
children of the Seventh and Eighth
grades will today elect a governing
board which will hold office for ten
weeks.
This board will be composed of five
children, three boys and two girls, and
will have absolute authority over the
children in the seventh and eighth
grades.
Each of those grades will have a
governing board which will be inde-
pendent of each other.
The idea is that of Miss Lillian d.
Hazen, principal of the First street
school.
The board of governors will appoint
a chairman who will in turn appoint
a board of health, the duty of which
will be to see that no rubbish is left
in the school house or yard and to regu-
late the personal cleanliness of pu-
pills so that no little boy will be al
lowed to come to school with a
smudged face or soiled hands.
There will also be a fire board which
VIII sec that no paper or matches are
left lying about where they might
cause fire.
The idea of the scheme as explained
by Miss Hazen is to give the children
an insight into what self government
really means.

TAKE
BLAKE TO BOSTON
MYSTERIOUS WOMAN DID NOT
SAY FAREWELL
officers Take Precautions With Pris-
oner Though He Declares His
Willingness to Go Back to
Back Bay

Looking worn and anxious, Thomas
A. Blake. charged with the larceny Of
$4,000 worth of securities from the
firm of Hornblower e. Weeks of BOs-
ton, left the city Jail yesterday after
noon in charge Of Inspectors Norris
sey and McGarr of Boston to begin
his journey east
Blake has lost flesh since his arrest
and Imprisonment May 15. He shook
hands with one Of the jailers and re-
marked that he was glad to return to
Boston.
His fair companion, with whom he
fed from Boston, was not at the po-
lice station yesterday afternoon but,
it is presumed, was waiting for him
at the Arcade station.
Ever since the notoriety occasioned
by her visits to Blake two weeks ago,
the mysterious young woman, said to
be a Mrs May Richards of Boston,
has kept away from the station.
Woman Avoids inspectors
1t was intimated that for reasons of
her own she did not desire to meet the
Boston inspectors, but of course had
"a perfect right to leave the city on the
same train with Blake.
But few knew of the departure of the
alleged absconder.
Inspector MOrrlSSey huStled MN
around the Hill street side of the Jail
and whisked him away in closed
carriage. Although Blake mas assured
the police that he was perfectly Will
ing to ao lmpany the inspectors back
to Boston, every care was taken TO
insure his safe arrival and the officers
will be on watch night and day until
they have the prisoner safe in jail.
Blake was to have married Miss Bes-
sic Towle of Merose April 30, but on
the day set for his wedding he disap-
peared. At the same time beautiful
young widow living in the fashionable
Back bay district, also disappeared,
Employers Make Discovery
An investigation by Blakes employ
ers, Hornblower & Weeks, mining
brokers' on State street, brought to
light the alleged larceny of $4,000
worth of negotiable securities.
An indictment charging grand lar
ceny was returned a little later by a
Massachusetts grand jury and gen.
eral order was sent broadcast to arrest
Blake on sight.
Through clever work on the part of
Detective Captain Flammer and De-
tective Mccain, Blake was located at
a Long Beach boarding house, in the
company of a bewitching young wo-
man who passed as Mrs. May Rich
ards"
Blake partially confessed his wrong
doing, according to the local police,
and through the good offices of his
friend a portion of the securities were
recovered from a Los Angeles broker
who purchased them in good faith.

Ellen Beach Yaw, the coloratura So
prano, Southern California's own night
ingale, will sing at the Mason tomorrow
evening and be welcomed home in right
royal fashion by her friends and ad-

oughly trained in coloratura that she
sings the most florid music written with

middle and lower register was not Sc
cured through the sacrifice of her up
per notes. Miss Yaw will present in to-
morrow evenings program series of
selections which she has not used here
tofore when appearing in this city, only
giving by request the mad scene" from
Lucia" which won her the united
applause of the entire membership of
the Mascagni orchestra, who assisted
her at her debut in Rome Assisting
Miss Yaw is Senor Ricardo Ruiz, vio-
linist, whose work is already well
known to the music lovers of this city.
The accompanies are Miss Mary
O'Donoghue and Mrs. T. Newman.
Remembering the artist who has been
| her friend since her childhood days
and who assisted in the first benefit
given for the Newsboys' home, Miss
Yaw has selected William Mead to play
the flute obligato in the selection from
Lucia" This is the only concert to
be given by Miss Yaw in this city. The

SAD NEWS FROM THE NORTH
Relatives of the Late B. J. Cooke
Perished in San Francisco
Earthquake

A sad sequel to the San Francisco
disaster was the finding of the charred
bodies of David Cooke and Andrew
Coleman, brother and brother-in-law
of the late B. ]. Cooke of Los Angeles.
The bodies were found at ia Third
street, near the Palace hotel, where
the men had gone to secure their val
uables which had been placed in the
safe. When found the safe had been
looted.
Mrs. Dora Bartelme and three chill
dren, daughter and grandchildren of
Mr.. Cooke, escaped with few clothes
and are now staying with their cousin,
Mrs. M. G. Gonzalez at 636 Sunset boul-
evard.
Until yesterday hope had been enter
tanned that the two men would be found
among the refugees.
A sad feature of the case is that
Mrs Bartelme's husband had recently
died.

It is costly to be member of the British parliament, but some ancient expenses are spared the modern mem Der. An order dated 1640 runs thus, 'Those who go out of the house in confused manner to forfeit 10 shil
 lings.' Others enact that "all the mem. bers that come after s dhe house met at s o'clock in the morning them to pay shilling, and those who do not come the whole day to pay shllngs. those who do not come to prayers to pay 1 shilling. such members as come after 9 o'clock to pay shilling to the poor,' etc Still more expensive was it for members to go out of town without permission. In 1864 a penalty of f1O was imposed upon every knight and of f5 upon every citizen who should make default ill attending the house, and a penalty of $40 upon every member "as shall desert tie service of the house for the space of three days together (not having had leave granted him by the house.. and he shall be sent for in GUS tody and committed to the Tower" Week enders had a bad time in 1864.

:. ..e President For n Day Stow,

Tie story that David k. Atchison Of Missouri was president for q day start ea as joke. Atchison was president Of the senate at the expiration of Pres ldeHt Folks term, and the law at that tine provided that that official should succeed to the presidency in default of both president and vice president March 4, 1S49, was Sunday, and Pres ident Zachary Taylor did not take the oath of office until Monday, March 5. Somebody thereupon started the joke that neither Polk nor Taylor was pres ident during the odd day and that Atchison must have been. But f Fay Tor could not under the constitution be president until he had taken the oath Of office how could Atchison? He did not take the oath either.-St. Louis Republic.

When You Write Abroad.

In writing to France or Italy, & post master pointed out the other day, the address should be printed, for the printed characters of French, Italian and English are alike, but of the writ ten ones this is not true The capital letter T, for instance, is written in France and Italy like c. The top stroke is made as with us, but the downward stroke curves to the right instead of to the left. Our c is taken for T abroad. Our T is taken for or J. It is important therefore to print instead of to write proper names on foreign letters. X letter addressed in writing to, for instance. a man named Treat would be thought by the French and Italian to be addressed to Treat, and in the general delivery department of the postoffice 1t would be placed in the instead of In the T compartment. Thus when MT. Treat called for his mail search of compartment T would reveal nothing for him, and his letter, hidden among the Is. would never be delivered.

Bill Winters uses his wit to save his strength. During a camping trip in the Maine woods Bill was easily the laziest

The ae::t morning Bill borrowed rifle and went off up the mountains. Two hours later the men ill camp saw Bill run. nin- down again as fast as he could come, and close behind him was a bear. The men watched the chase. With load. ed Tiles ready. On reaching camp Bill tur:ied and shot the bear. When the mel could stop laughing one of them said. "Bill. what on earth possessed :ou to run that distance with the bear SO close %hen you might have killed i!it.: on t!lo hill and saved your breat ?' Bill smiled slowly.

MOOrs Consider Us Dirty.

A habit of our own which we con- sfder far more cleanly than eating with our fingers is looked upon by the Moors as filthy-that is. washing our hands or face i'll basin and, still more, taking bath where the water is not running. The cleaner We become, they say. the dirtier the water we are washing with must necessarily be- come. and eventually we step forth as cleansed from water which is no longer clean. A Moor to wash his hands has the water poured from vessel over lAem and never by any chance dips them into the dirty water The same way in their baths. The water is thrown over their bodies out of bright brass bowls and flows away through !:oles in the marble or tile fioor.-N1od- arn Society.

Gail Hamilton said if there never were to be any railroads it would have been an impertinence in Columbus to have discovered America. The Indians knowledge of the location and direction of the rivers and lakes and of the DO sitions of the portages and his readi- ness under the right sort of persuasion to put this knowledge at the service of explorers, missionaries and settlers 'stood off, this stigma from Columbus before the railways came.

Medicine,

Throw out opium. said Dr. Holme. which the Creator himself seems 10 prescribe for we often see the scarlet poppy growing in the cornfelds. as if It were fOreseen that wherever there is hunger to be fed there must also be pain to be soothed: throw out a few specifics which our art did not discover and is hardly needed to apply; throw out wine, which is food and the vapors which produce the miracle of anaesthesia. and firmly believe that If the whole materia nledica as now used could be sunk to the bottom of the sea it would be all the better for mankind and all the worse for the fishes,
 The shortest system of medical prac- tice that 1 know of is the oldest, but not the worst. 1t is older than Hip operates, older than Chiron the Gen. taur.

The Word "Tari6."

The word tariff has an interesting origin. It is derived from the Arabic ta 'rifa. meaning an inventory of fees payable on demand, and became cur rent in the following way: A certain Moorish general. by name Tarifa, seized in the year 710 upon a small seaport some twenty miles from what is now Gibraltar and the southernmost town in Europe. Here he founded station for levying toll on all craft trading in the neighborhood and be- slowed his name upon the place, after the manner of Constantine, Alexander and others.
