MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA

"Hedda Gabler," with possibly one
exception has proven itself the most
actabe Of Henrik Ibsen's dramas, but
at the same time it's philosophy is far
more difficult for the average audience
to understand than, for example, "The
Lady From the Sea-" which Harry Mes
tayer has shown us is piece which
will not carry across the footlights
There Is sufficient dramatic action in
"Hedda Gabler' to keep the interest
sustained to a certain degree. one is
able to read into symbolism a wide
variety of meanings, and commentators
have interpreted the different phases of
the drama in many ways. In its en-
tirety II is intended to proclaim Ibsen' $
whole insistent gospel of the need Of
spiritual regeneration. His method of
presenting his truths is morbid and
ponderous and makes little appeal to
the average theater-goer.
Nance O'Nell, who posed in the role
of the "horrlble example" resulting
from present conditions OF society, gave
an interesting performance, perfect
from all standpoints Of technical act
ing, except possibly in the use of her
wonderful voice. Occasionally she lost
the conversational tone and adopted the
affectations which suggest that her
voice has been praised TO the point
where she attempts 70 play tunes with

HUNTER SHOOTS
HIS COMPANION
ACCIDENT MAY COST MANS
LIFE
Fred 3. Smith Receives a Charge of
Shot in the Arm and Body.
Lung Is Punc=
tured

The accidental discharge of a shot
gun in the hands of John Larronde at
the Lomita Gun club grounds yester-
day afternoon may cost the life OF
Fred Il. Smith, one of the members OF
the club.
The cause of the accidental discharge
of the gun is not known, but Dr.
George w. Lasher of the Hollenbeck
hotel, who was present at the time
of the mishap, says that while he and
Smith were seated i'll Il wagon, Lar
ronde approached the wagon carrying
several ducks.
When Larronde was about ten feet
from the wagon he dropped his game
to the ground. At the same instant the
gun was discharged, the entire con-
tents of one barrel entering Smiths
right arm at the shoulder. Many of the
shots penetrated the right side and
entered the right lung.
DR.. Lasher Immediately rendered
what aid he could to Smith. Smith was
then hurried to Southern Pacific
train. brought to this city and sent to
the California hospital where an oper-
alton was performed upon him.
During the operation Smith coughed
up much blood, indicating that the
lung had been penetrated. Late last
night DIR. Lasher stated that while
Smith is severely wounded he may re-
cover if blood poisoning does not set in.
Mr., Smith resides at Seventh and
Santa Fe avenues.

FIND MAN DEAD IN HOTEL
Note Found on Decedent Shows His
Demise Was Expected
by Him

William Becker, believed to be OIL
New York city, was found dead in ms
room at the Palmetto house, located at
205 East Fifth street, yesterday after
noon. on his person was found notes
which suggested that the decedeht
either expected death or committed
suicide.
The cause of death has not fully been
established as yet. An autopsy VIII
be held this morning at the Pierce
Bros undertaking parlorS.
Several memorandum books were
found on Becker. In one OF these
was the message:
"My name is William Becker. MY
nearest relative is Mrs. Fanny Becker
of 1927 East Fifty-ninth street, New
York city"
Little is known of the man here One
of the notes i'm his books Indicated
that recently he had been consulting
an attorney located at 1913 Temple
block. Besides the notes several pre-
scriptions signed by DR.. IL. q. Bayless
were found in his room.
From the appearance of the furnish
ings i'm his quarters 1t is believed that
the man had some means.
The deceased was about twenty-eight
years old.
THE coroner says that he was in the
last stages of consumption. 1t is be-
iieyed that the man knew this and
expected death at any moment. For
this reason it is supposed that his
death is not due to suicide, but to
consumption.
The relative at the New York adj
dress was notified last night.

DAHLIA WON HIM A BRIDE
Miss Eva Lord Admired Flower in
Joseph F. Plummers Garden.
Now They Are Married
Special to The Herald.

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. "a beautiful
dahlia growing in a garden in Swamp
scott figures in the romantic marriage
OF Miss Eva Lord, "a beautiful girl,
and Joseph +. Plummer, a well-to-do
last maker, in Swampscott last Sat
urday.
Despite the fact that the groom is a
widower and nearly twice the age of
the bride, this proved to be no bar
rier between him and the beautiful
girl who dearly loved flowers.
Miss Lord is native of Wells, Me-,
where her mother now resides. She
came to Lynn a few years ago and
boarded with a private family who are
friends of her mother. She was en-
ployed in a business house in the CEN
ter Of the city and each morning was
in the habit OF waiting for an electric
car in front of Mr.. Plummer's home.
Miss Lord was an admirer of flow
ers and she often examined the many
fine specimens in Mr. Plummer's gar
den. One morning late in the summer
she went into the garden and exam
ined a beautiful dahlia. 1t was at this
moment that Mr. Plummer came upon
the scene and spoke to the young wo-
man, and begged leave to present to
her the flower she was admiring.
Miss Lord accepted the dahlia and
this opened a path OF friendship which
ended in marriage. Mr.. Plummer has
lived practically alone since his first
wife died. Mrs. Plummer, who is but
30, processes great love for her hus-
band. They were married Saturday
afternoon by the Rev. j. Frank Moore,
superintendent Of the Swampscott
schools. Mr.. and Mrs. Plummor will
reside at 2l2 Essex street, Swamp
scott where their acquaintance hegan.
Mr. Plummer is engaged in the last
manufacturing business in Lynn and
is very active for his years. He de-
votes much time winter and summer
to the culture OF flowers. The mar
riage was a surprise to the residents OF
the town.

HUSBAND AFTER CRUEL SEPARATION

Will get divorce and that | can never
see Pedro again. Last night 1 ran away
and we came to see you today to find
out if my aunt can get us divorced"
Clerk Shea, in his most judicial man
ner, assured pretty little Petrlla that
nobody else could procure divorce but
them as long as they were happy to-
Gether and did not themselves petition
the court for a decree.
The young bride dried her fearful
eyes on a corner of her shawl and
talked rapidly to Pedro, who stood
sheepishly by The man began to grin
broadly and then he seized his bride,
who had been taken from him, and
imprinted large, long kiss upon her
rosy lips
"Good-by," saiG Petrilla as she left
the marriage bureau. "Mr. Judge, you
are a nice man and ] hope you will al
ways be happy. You have given us
joy and l shall tell my aunt that she
may go to II right away"
The profanity rippled innocently from
the Mexican girls mouth IN musical
| notes and it sounded very fetching.

MAYOR FIRM;
WORK WAITS
DEADLOCK TIES UP PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENTS
Executive Will Continue to Send
Nominees Into Council, ignoring
That Body's Suggestion
for Compromise

The mayor has abandoned his plan
for a scorching open letter to the pub
lie in which he proposed to take the
residents of the city into Lis confidence
and tell them his side of the deadlock
between himself and the council over
The appointment Of ? board of public
works.
He has determined TO fight it out on
his own line and permit the council to
either affirm or reject the list of names
which he submitted Thursday, includ-
ing r. f. Del Vale, Lester l.. Robin
son and e. r. Perkins.
He has practically decided to ignore
the compromise suggested by the coun-
Gil that the civic bodies name the
board.
There seems TO be no question among
the members Of the council that at the
meeting Monday morning the last list
submitted by the mayor will meet the
same fate as those preceding
The mayor will then repeat his per-
formance of last Monday and submit
list after list as long as the council
will consider his nominees.
Members of the council bewail their
impotency in the premises. They have
no power except that of accepting OF
rejecting, and were straining a point,
according to their own statements,
when they made the suggestion of a
compromise to the mayor.
Unless the unexpected happens there
seems to be no hope Of breaking the
deadlock Immediately.
Meanwhile all public Improvements
except those authorized under private
contract and they are not numerous
must await the appointment and con-
frmation Of a board Of public works

probation to the character of Hedda.
Her work was characterized with
strength, and, as is all her work,
with absolute mastery of herself and
her art. But with all that her lack of
temperament made the character fall
short of being satisfactory.
In her support she was again ably
assisted, although several of the players
were uncertain of their lines. Andrew
Robson made an acceptable Tesman,
and John Glendinning was excellent as

SUFFER- THIS SUMTER IN COLORADO

Many people put aside all thought of an outing in Colorado because they are accustomed to consider this great est of American playgrounds as one of those impossible things beyond their means. Time was when visit to the "top of the continent" was a great luxury, as high in price as in altitude, but not so today. You can spend the Summer or a part of the Summer in Colorado and live as reasonably as you do at home, and the quick service and low tourist and excursion rates afforded via Rock Island lines bring the Rockies within your easy reach.

The Truce of God.

One of the most curious of the many queer medieval customs was that known as the truce of God" From what we have been able to learn of 1t the custom appears to have originated as an outgrowth of desire to protect the common people to some extent at least against the lawless tyranny of the feudal lords of the middle ages. It was first decreed at a church synod which convened at Roussillon in the year 1927. By this decree it was pro- vided that no man should attack his enemy between Saturday evening at nones and Monday morning at the hour of prime About the year 1O32 a similar compact was entered into be- tween the church and the barons of England. The church forbade barons to make any attack upon each other between sunset on Wednesday night and sunrise on the following Monday or upon any feast or fast day. The same truce made provision that no man should be disturbed while labor ing at his trade or while going to or from place of worship.

POsy Rings.


 Whel posies inside wedding rin,ss were first introduced does not seem to be known. Time has covered that. as he does so many things, with the moss es of oblivion. but we know that from the sixteenth century until the middle of the eighteenth it was customary to have them engraved on rings These poSies or mgttoes are seldom to be found with more than two lines of verse and often with only one. but there are few instances known where three lines are used. Some of these DO, s!es are very quaint and curious. and a few reach high standard of poetic beauty In 1G42 small collection of rhymes was published With .he title of Loves Gariand: or PosieS |! or Rings. HanGEerchiefs and Glove and Such Pretty Tokens That Lovers Send Their Loves" It contains some posies that are not to be met with elsewhere and is very interesting work. though but few people seem to have heard of it. The South Kensington museum has a good collection of posy rings, and among them we find the following: United hearts, death only parts;' "Let us share in joy and care." Love and live happily" There is story to the effect that Dr. John Thomas. who was bishop of Lincoln in 1753, caused to be inscribed inside his fourth wife's wedding ring:
 If survive,
 I'll make them five.
