Henrietta Crosn,an.

Henrietta Crosman's ,proudest
achievement is her New York run of
100 nights in las You Like It." There
are other record making New York
runs TO her credit such as two years
in Mistress Nell" and two seasons
in Sweet Kitty Bellairs,' but her
greatest praise comes from her notable
success in the Shakesperian comedy,
1t is tribute to Miss Crosman's genius
that she has gained distinction in so
great variety of comedy. In the
classic, the romantic or the modern
comedy this gifted artistic is equally
effective and she has won glowing re-
wards In all these phases of her art.
1t Is her breadth of genius that has
won for her the acknowledged reputa.
ton of the greatest comedienna of this
generation. AS ROsalind in "As You
Like It," Miss Crosman has ranked
above every other modern actress who
has essayed the part and her perform
ance was accounted the most skilled
and charming since Adelaide Nelson's
portrayal of the character One hun
dred nights in New York in "As You
Like It, was notable achievement.
Of all the great players of recent
years only Edwin Booth scored A like
run. He presented Hamlet" for 100
nights In New York. 1t is the ambition
OF every dramatic artistic to play
Shakespeare and to be accepted by the
public In Shakesperian roles, there
fore the generous appreciation bestow-
ed upon Miss Crosman may we'll have
tended to pride. This actress will be
seen In this city next Wednesday eve
ming when she will appear at the
Metropolitan in the comedy, "Mary.
Mary Quite Contrary" This is a
modern play. replete with brightness
ana eayety, abounding In comical stu
ations and filled with delightful humor
Miss Crosman's New York succesa IN
this play Is greater than any that have
come to her in previous productions,
Her visit will be Justly considered one
OF the notable dramatic events of the
year. '"o

AFTER GAMERS.

body decided not to solicit business
in any state requiring a proper label

OF the can tb be stamped on the label.

have been gradually adulterating their

FEARS FOR SAFETY OF PEARY.

Just as Walter Wellman starts for
his northern headquarters, where he
will put his huge airship together and
proceed with the experiments in con-
nection with his plan for sailing out
over the vast arctic expanse in search
Of the north pole, comes the announce
ment that grave fears are entertained
Tor the. safety of Capt. Robert E.
Peary, the we'll known arctic explorer
whose last trip on the same quest
started just a year ago the present
month.
When Peary sailed away last sum-
mer, with his brave and courageous
little band of followers, he was buoyed
mp with high hopes that at last he
had solved the great problem which
has so long baffled the scientific ex-
perts with relation to the location of
the north pole. His plan was 10 es-
tablish headquarters at the farthest
possible point of land north of Cape
Sabine, where he was to establish a
base and make preparations for dash
across the ice this summer to the I'M
known regions of the pole.
The distance to be covered by this
trip was estimated at approximately
500 miles, and Captain Peary expected
to make it with safety by the aid of
Esquimaux and dog sledges. He be-

A Terse Definition.

Il dined with Charles Dana Gibson
at Princes restaurant in London dur
ing the season." said Chicagoan.
THE lofty, spacious dining room was
filled with women in pale gowns, their
hair uncovered, and their arms and
necks bare. and though these women
were very fashionable. very aristo-
cratic, they smoked cigarettes with
their coffee as they watched the bios
cope pictures that went on at one
end of the big room and as they listen
ed to the singing that went on at the
other.
Amid all this feminine smoking we
Americans began to discuss and to de-
fine the word lady Was it ladylike to
smoke? We asked. Would lady ever
smoke? What was a lady?
Il think Mr.. Gibson's definition of
lady was the best that was given.
"a lady, he said, ignoring the
smoke question altogether, is wom-
an who always remembers others and
never forgets herself"

buy. This is the condition which COM
missioner Ladd is forcing upon the
Gamers. They must either tell the
truth about their goods or be barred
from selling in the state
The people need not fear famine
because of this stand. The manufac-
,urers will not he willing to sacrifice
a field so much dependent upon canned
foods as the northwest is because
they can not sell impure foods. They
may resolute as they did in New York
and declare that they will not solicit
orders in the state. But if they keep
up tina, sort of fight they will soon
have no place to offer their goods. and
they will be driven out of business.
They will not reach that point, how
ever. before they will be ready TO pre-
pare their goods in Il manner to meet
the demands of the law as we'll as the
demands Of the consuming trade. The
people will have pure foods and will
know that when they purchase a
specific quantity of goods they will
get as much as they purchase.
Praise of Commissioner Ladd seems
fulsome in view of the eulosies which
have been heaped upon him. But it
is only justice to him to say that he
has been the pioneer in the work of
securing pure foods and that his name
should become household word not
only in this but in other states.

lieved he coull make the journey and
get back to his base in about six
weeks, taking advantage of the short
arctic summer for his exploration and
being ready to start for home so that
he would again reach civilization not
later than October of this year.
Not word has come back from the
Peary expedition since it entered the
mysterious region OF perpetual snow
and ice to inform his friends as to the
progress or fult!llment of his plans.
1t was rather expected that some news
of the Peary party would be brought
back by the crews Of migratory whal-
ing vessels and the lack of such news
has commenced 10 create some alarm.
This is also increased by advices
which have reached the American
Geographical society to the effect that
the weather has been unusually severe
in the far north this year. With fire.
quent storms and more ice than even
in ordinary years.
These conditions are, of course. not
favorable to the success of Captain
Peary's plans. and it is feared that.
even aside from his contemplated ven-
ture by use of logs and sledges. there
is a possibility. If not a proba bility,
that the entire party may have en-
countered perils which may result in
disaster. His ship, for instance. may
have been ground to pieces in the
heavy ice foes. and if the brave ex-
plorers have lost this means of re-
treat their danger will be grave, even
if they are temporarily sheltered on
land. The question of supplies is an
all important one in that region, and it
is felt there is genuine cause for
anxiety.
Captain Peary is an old hand in the
|
trip to that region was made just
twenty years ago, in 1886. and ever
since that time the fascination of the
mystery of the great north has held
him firmly in its grasp. Again and
again he has gone back to make one
more attempt to solve the problem OF
the pole, and each time he has been
confident of success, only to meet with
repeated disappointments.
1t is to be sincerely hoped the pres
ent fears for the safety of himself and
his companions will prove to be un-
necessary, but already there are some
who are willing to risk predictions of
disaster. 1t is probably too late to
organize and start relief party for
the succor of the Peary expedition this
season, but if nothing is heard from
Peary in the next few months such a
plan will undoubtedly be carried into
execution early next year.

1T Is FINISHED.

The republican party of North Da-
kota has spoken through its accredit-
Ell representatives at jamestown and
the will OF the people has been regis.
tered. The ticket which appears in the
news columns of this issue of The
Evening Times is no surprise to the
people of the state for the selections
were made at the primary election.
There could be but one means of
changing that result and that was for
the men who had been selected to
represent the will of the voters TO
betray their trust. and there were no
such men on the delegations which
went to Jamestown.
The ticket which has been nominated
is composed Of able and patriotic
men from top to bottom. Many of
them have been tried and have not
been found wanting.
North Dakota may well point with
pride to her splendid administration.
The tinge of scandal has never touched
it and the business methods might
we'll be the envy of her older sister
commonwealth.
The state institutions are models
from which other states have drawn
their inspiration. Her officers are
fearless in the administration of their
duties and are the peers of any in the
land
These are the men and the records
and conditions which the jamestown
convention has endorsed. In so doing
that body has reflected additional light
upon the state and it's people. 1t has
said to the world that it ever stands
ready to give proper recognition to
those who have faithfully served it
and them.
There were matters in the con-
vention and in the primaries which
meant division, but those who are
republicans because of principle will
now accept the verdict of the con-
vention as the will of the majority
and therefore the supreme law in the
party. In a republic no other law is
possible. The nations and peoples
who refuse to SO recognize the right
of the majority to rule are constantly
involved in revolution and Turmoil,
and the nations themselves are ready
to fall at almost any moment. The
same principle prevails in party
politics and the man who refuses to be
governed by it is encouraging a spirit
Numerically opposed to that of our
national life, and which will spread
from political party to national ques-
tons until it becomes fostering sore
on the body polite and finally works
its ruin.
The work of the convention is prac-
tical.y the election of the candidates.
for in this state the contest between
the two great parties is not sufficiently
vigorous to indicate party fight, The
next state officials of North Dakota
have therefore been selected

Vaudeville.

The Orpheum company will present
for their eighth engagement of summer
vaudeville next Tuesday at the Metro
politan theater an exceptionally strong
and pleasing bill. A special feature of
which will be The Garuellas in their
eccentric acrobatic sketch MY Brother
Johnny. which has been one of the
big eastern vaudeville hits the past
season. Another headliner act will be
the musical Reeds-who as their
name implies will be heard in a
musical treat, using only standard
instruments and playing the most
classical as we'll as popular selections
and using their seven bell trumpet.
A singularly grotesque act will be the
Offering of Ernie and Houegger who
will introduce marvellous one-legged

STORIES OF THE STREET.

Once there was billy goat,

He ate sofa pillow.
And now he lies out on the ground
With dropping underlip;
For every time he moves around
He feels the pillow slip.

azine had settled back in the rocker for
quiet comfortable evening.
On the other side of an intervening
table was the miniature counterpart of
himself, the wrinkling of whose Swear
odd forehead indicated that he was
mentally wrestling with some perplex-
ing problem. After while he looked
toward his comfort-loving parent and

Yes, my son."

Papa, could he make a clock that

A southside family is entertaining
charming little lady from the interior

manner persuaded the object of his af-
fections in the direction of the hall.

the room darkened, a few words of
persuasion, sufficed, and the pair Was
lost in the darkness of the parlor.

toward a couch in remote corner of

the couch with heavy sigh.

heard four blocks away.

ingly entreated the wooing travelling
man as he fell in swoon to the floor

The lady of the house entered the
room in time to save complete col.
