Annie Russel In "A Midsummer
Nighf,s Dream,
militia.

Nights Dream
After month of deliberation Wawen-
halls and Kemper were able on Wednes-
day to announce definitely the opening
attraction at their new Astor Theatre.
The announcement includes nothing less
startling than a splendid presentation of
"A Midsummer Nights Dream with
dainty demure Annie Russell's in the
roilieking role of Puck.
Before Miss Russel's managers could
persuade her to make as radical a de-
parture from the class of characterize
tions with which she has been identified,
her adaptabliity to the role was the sub
ject of many protracted debates in which
the actress stoutly maintained the mega
tive. It was finally decided that Miss
Russell should have a fortnight of pro-
baton, SO TO speak. befort any announce
ment was made or plans for the contem-
plated production put into execution.
The forth-night has been devoted to stuly
and rehearsals and to reconclling the
actress to Robin Goodfellow's somewhat
airy attire. The enthusiasm aroused by
the preliminary rehearsals is the best at
tested by the unqualified announcement
that "A Midsummer Nights Dream"
win have prominent place in Miss Rus
sells repertoire nthe Fall and that the
star has violated all the conventions by
selecting the role of Puck for her own.
The portrayal of the mischieyous Puck
by a woman is not without precedent.
although stars and leading women have
seldom given it preference over Helena
and Hernia. Ellen Terry at the age of
fifteen played Puck, but in later years
was always cast for Helena In Angus
tin Days productions Ada Rehan was
invariably cast for Helena, while the
part of Puck fell to the late Ellen Burg
(Mrs. Robert Edeson). Laura Keene is
rule. At Laura Keene's Varieties in
1859 she appeared as Puck for d few
performances
Miss Russell's metamorphosis from the
ingenious stage maiden to Shakespeare's
sauciest boy will be as remarkable as
Miss Maude Adams transformation
from Lady Babbie to Peter Pan. Miss
RusselFs friends believe that it will also
be. as delightful. AT any rate, large
force of scenic artists, electricians and
sarpenters are already engaged in build
ing the equipment for the production
which will be unique in many respects.
While the aim is to make the presenta-
tion one notable for It's artistic beauty,
good taste and accuracy viii not be sub
served to spectacular effects.
Miss Russell will of course be seen
here in 'Friend Hannah. The presen-
tation of "A Midsummer Nights Dream
is merely in pursuance of Wagenhals
and Kemper's plans to provide for lSpr
an extensive repertoire including one OF
two Shakespearian plays.

Reform has triumphed over partizan-

Evening News" The State Democrat
ic convention yesterday thrust precedent

mated Lewis Emery, Jr.. a Republican
for Governor. Mr.. Emery is already the
candidate of the Lincoln Republican
party, whose principles correspond TO
those of the Colby reform movement in
New Jersey. This fusion of Lincoln Re-
pubiicans and straight Democrats gives
promise of one of the seyerest battles
ever fought in Pennsylvania; it affords
hope of the complete overthrow of the
regular organization under its present
corrupt leadership
Mr.. Emery is lifelong Republican,,
but an independent OF Independents.
For twenty-five years he has stood for
political independence against corporate
abuses. He has been a reformer for
quarter of century and is the embodi-
ment. to an exceptional degree, of the
fundamental principles of the reform
movement that is now manifesting itself
in every section OF the United States. He

their banner bearer, and the Democrats
followed the dictates of public spirit in
making him their own candidate and in

The establishment of naval militia
under the general control Of the Navy
Department is the object of bill passed
by the House of Representatives on
Tuesday, and that will probably go
through the Senate, says the Newark
DAILY Advertiser Since 1887 attempts
have been made to get such law Mean
while system of State naval militia was
established in number of seaboard
State. including New Jersey.
In 1892 Congress appropriated $25,O00
and # fn # 1897 the amount wa sincreased to
S5o,00o annually to help pay the cost Of
the militia. In the latter year fifteen
States had naval militia, numbering al
together 3,703 men, and there was al
large increase in the force during the
war with Spain. The converted cruisers.
Yankee, Dixie Prarie and Yosemite
were largely oficered By recruits from
the naval militia, and the militia con-
tributed almost the entire personnel Of
the auxiliary naval force which was au-
thorixed BY Congress for coast defense
purposes Ten monitors were also man
