Report That Congressman Williams Will Accept Professorship in
 University of Virginia

Washington.-It is generally, b0s lieved in Washington that John Sharp Williams, Democratic leader of the house of representatives, will forsake the arena of politics for the chair of economies and political history in the University of Virginia. A formal ten- der of the place is expected some time this month, and the famous Mississip- plan is quoted by friends as saying he is perfectly satisfied to lay aside the cares of politics to spend the rest of his life as professor in the celebrated, seat of learning founded by Thomas Jefferson. sor
 The chair of economics and politicaf history at the University of Virgini& is a new departure. No man has yet filled it. The names of many promt-s nent men have been mentioned in con-l nection with the place, including most.

Jacques
1.-THE TWO ORPHANS"

The 1.-Two Orphans' is splendidly staged and more than capably acted at the Jacques this week, Willard Dashiell, the stage director, and Stage Carpenter Fitzgerald have done them selves credit in the mounting of the play and nothing prettier has been seen on the stage of either local thea tors than the garden scene of the sec ond act with its hanging lanterns and gaily lowered terraces. The leading roles of Henriette and Louise are assumed by Helene Warde and Louise Le. Blanc. It's no exag- geration to say Miss Warde is doing her best work In the role of Henriette and Miss Le Blanc shows the same delicate winsome versatility that she has displayed in the past as the blind sister. Her work is characterized by pathos that is delightfully."- effective. Willard Dashiell is splendid Jacques and Billy Walsh genuinely affecting Pierre. The character honors go to Edith Crolius. as the besotted hag La Frochard. Miss Crolius is startingly genuine in the part and it is an imper- sonation filled with the most thorough going artistry. Richard Gordon is a manly chevalier and James Mullen, makes a most entertaining Picard. Jane Tree plays the outcast Marianne with individuality and distinction and the two Wallaces present their roles with sincerity and naturalness.

There is noth- Ing in his appearance, except his whitened locks, to indicate his great age, but, on the contrary. he seems to possess a vitality that has long since been thing of the past with men who followed him into the world 20 years later. His physical condition is ex- cellent and those who have locked horns with him in the law courts in the last few years have every reason to believe that the Osler theory in Gov. whyte's case is woefully inopera- tive.
 As a legal light Gov. whyte has no peer in Maryland. For years he has been at the head of the profess sion, and from present indications is likely to remain there to the end of his days. Aside from his legal sue eesses he has also had remarkable career in the political arena. having occupied nearly every office that was within the power of the people of Maryland to give. He has filled suc- cessfully the office of governor. United States senator. mayor of Baltimore, comptroller of the state treasury. at- torney general and state legislature man. During the last presidential cam paign he demonstrated his capacity for work by making a tour of West vir- ginia with his lifelong friend, ex-Sen- stor Henry c.

 When City Detective Shoaf met Craigh on the street his clothes were in tatters. his hair and beard long and matted, and his bleeding feet pro truded from the holes in his high top boots. The detective questioned Craign, and as he could not understand what he said to him, the officer ar rested him for being a vagrant.
 CraigL was taken to the city jail, and locked up, but his actions were so strange that the desk sergeant sum. moned a physician. After an exam ination the doctor declared the man demented and that his condition was caused by exhaustion and starvation. Craign was at once removed to the hos pital and given careful attention and nursing.
 After several days in the hospital the man recovered sufficiently to talk. and he confded to the doctor the story of his wonderful gold mine. He did not tell the story connectedly, but little by little the doctor heard the tale of the wonderful escape and journey of the little Irishman.
 | A year ago Craigh was discharged from the United States army. He formei partnership with another ex- soldier named Wilson. and the two men started on prospecting expedi- ton through the mountains of Arizona After several months of hard work Craigh and his chum decided to try their luck in the forbidden land oi ! the Yaqui Indians in the state of So nora, Mexico.
 They were warned not to trust their lives among the Yaquis, but the stories of the wonderful guarded mines oi the Sonora mountains lured them into that dangerous country.

VAUDEVILLE AT LAKEWOOD.

The summer vaudeville season opened last night at Lakewood parks open air theater. The performance was furnished by Deas X Deas and their Nashville students. Their per formance Is entirely satisfactory. All their songs are new and while some of the jokes may sound better to them than to the audience, their work, on the whole, is pleasing. Two members of the troupe have series of origi- nal ragtime pieces which received plenty of applause last night. Per formances will be given every after noon at 3:30 and every evening at S:30 through the summer. There will be special attractions at the park to- morrow.
