JOKE ON JOHN DREW.

Hustled to Get to a boston Mat1nee
That Didn't Take Place.
New Years day of 1906 will linger in
the memory Of John Drew. The actor
had to charter private car to get him
from New York to Boston in time for
a scheduled matinee. But for some
reason the matinee did not come off,
and Mr.. Drew doubts If he began the
new year in just the right way, says
the New York Times.
Mr.. Drew had been playing at the
Hollis Street theater, Boston, in de
Lancey." On Sunday, the day before
New Years, he came down to New
York to fulfill number Of social obli-
cations, expecting to get away on a
late train. At the Players club, of
which MIR. Drew is now president, there
was so much to occupy his attention,
it being founders night, that by the
time he was ready to leave the last
train to Boston was we'll on its way.
No regular train that followed would
get him there in time for the matinee.
After much negotiation Pullman
leaving the Grand Central over the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
at 2:15 a. m. On reaching Boston Mr..
Drew had plenty Of time to rest and
then started for the theater.
lie was not pleased when he discov-
cred on arriving at the playhouse that
no matinee was to be given. Perhaps
some one will share the expense Of that
special car.

An Oily Streak For Talf Timber.
AS all the world knows, the Rogers
Jokes were sprung at the investigation
made by the state of Missouri into the
subsidiary concerns Of the Standard
Oil company. Governor Folk and At
torney General Hadley Of that etate
got an idea that the Waters-Pierce Oil
company, the Republic Oil company
and the Standard Oil company Of In
diana were all owned by the Standard
OH company Of New Jersey, although
they were posing as independent con-
Germs. This would constitute a con-
spiracy in restraint Of trade, which Is
in contravention Of the state laws, and
Hadley started suit to drive the COM
panies from Missouri He first held
hearings at home, but found all trails
led to the Standard offices in New York.
So he concluded to face the lion in his
den. The chief difficulty in this pro-
gramme was to find the lion. If there is
anything that will make the Standard
king Of beasts chase himself out Of a
state, it Is the approach Of process
server. He can smell subpoena for a
mile, and when that dreaded scent
greets his nostrils he makes an oily
