THE COLLEGE WIDOW. {"

"The College Widow" whose com
 ing here Monday evening is await ed with eagerness. is from the pen of George Ade, who had the germ of the idea in his mind before he under took his first play. He had written set of verses called "The College Widow" which he had read at the reunion of his class. Purdue 's7. It struck him that a play based on life in an American college town. with football game as a main incident. would be one of unusual novelty. Ade had two all-season successes in New York and was asked if he could turn out a new comedy to go into rehear- sal in August He responded by sub hitting a detailed scenario of The College Widow" The following week "The College Widow" scored a suc- cess in New York that was electric. It had a run Of thirty-eight weeks there and not until this past summer did the outside country have a chance to gel acquainted with Ade's brilliant work when the season was begun with a brilliant run Of ten weeks In RostOn. Prices are s1.5o. si. 5s. 50 and z5 cents. Telephone iis-2. Seats are now on sale. Or ders will not be held later than Monday noon.

 George Nasty, who killed Milan Bennett and Abbot Davidson of the Nothing But Money" company at Gafney, s. C., last December, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to Imprisonment for life last Wednes- day. The jury brought in the yer dict of guilty, with a recommends tion to the mercy of the court" which fin South Carolina is equiya- lent to murder in the second de- gree. Under such verdict the court is compelled to make the sentence life Imprisonment. Nasty, on De- cember Is, 1905. shot and killed Milan Bennett and fatally wounded Abbot Davidson, who died several days later. The murdered men had gone to Nasty, who was hotel keep CT, to remonstrate with him about his attentions toward two of the women members of Davidson's company. The grand jury brought true bills against Nasty on two charges. The trial was held on the first indictment alone. that of murdering Bennett, the prosecuting attorney deciding to hold the indictment for the murder of Davidson fin abeyance. in case Nasty shoul6 be acquitted on the first charge. The trial attracted a great deal of attention in the south and several leading southern papers devoted editorials to the subject. | Public feeling was entirely against the accused. After the sentence was passed Hasty's attorneys moved an appeal on technical grounds, which | was not granted. The prosecuting | attorney was assisted by three other | lawyers secured by the Actors Socl- | sty of America. The lawyer who de- tended this creature sought to black an the character of the woman in- Eolyed simply because she is an actress. This attempt. which is not wholly typical of southern chivalry, vas rebuked by the judge who pre- 'ided at the trial. and the judge also ienied a motion for a new trial.

 The personal effects of Mrs Gilbert were sold at auction. together with a collection of antique furniture, at the Knickerbocker art galleries, the sessions being held on afternoons from March to March 12, inclusive. Mrs Gilbert had very few possessions of intrinsic theatrical value, histori- cally or otherwise. On Friday, March g. was sold her collection of autographs, programs and manuscripts. but even these me- mentos could not correctly be classed as rare or particularly valuable ex- cept from a sentimental point of view.

If that be true. then God help the county and state and the south from such a vindication.
