sorHERN AND MARLoWF.

A notable feature of Jeanne DArc, the play written for Mir. E H. Sothern and Miss Julia Marlowe, whose joint appearance in this city Is always re- garded in the light of a genuine dra- matic pleasure, and who will be well oomed here again at the Hyperion The atre next Monday nght, is the inciden- tai music composed by Professor F, ;. Converse of Harvard university, fea- ture which no doubt will be especially appreciated owing to the special or chestra of solo artists under engage ment with the Sothern- Marlowe comIbi- nation.
 More than common interest is being manifested towards the presentation of Jeanne DArc, as it is not only the work of a comparatively unknown dra- matlst, MT. Percy Mackaye, but is said to treat the subject in a much more effective manner, and with truer accu- racy to history than any of its prede- cesSOrS.

Man Who Found Human Skull Gets
 Narrow Escape.
 About 515 o'clock Saturday after noon, Edward Sanford, who lives at 769 Howard avenue, and who is employed by the city on the boulevard dump, had q very narrow escape from serious in- jury. He was run over by John Lueeys automobile. Mr Lucey is the well known proprietor of the cafe on Temple street and also at Savin Rock.
 Mr. Sanford was the man who found the human skull while working on the dump Saturday afternoon, and he was carrying it in his hand on the way to the Howard avenue station house, when he met Officer McQueeney at the corner of Davenport avenue and Elliott street. Thetwo stood in the roadway, and MT. Stanford was just delivering the skull to the officer when the automobile came around the corner, The side oR the machine struck Mir. Sanford and knocked him down.
 MT Lucey immediately stopped the car and took Mr Stanford to his home, summoning Dr. Butler to attend him, It was found that beyond a cut over the eye and some other minor bruises the victim Is not apparently severely hurt MT, Lucey rendered all the aid possible.
 The police believe that the skull eith- CT came from the Yale Medical school or else from some old grave near by. The ystate that skulls have frequently been found in the vicinity.

THE MAN OF MYSTERY.
Difficulties in Understanding tn
 Character of Hearst.

Difficulties in Understanding the
 Character of Hearst
 "W. R. Hearst is as hard to see and as inexpensive as E1. H. Hartman and Thomas F. Ryan, who like him, are mysteries. Hearst's self-reliance is theirs and their methods are his. He uses force as they do, and the same force, money, not illegtimately,' per- haps; but as substitute for persuasion charm, humor, peadings. When he was starting his New York papers somebody protested at his extravagant methods. They may cost money he answered, 'but they save time Thus he uses the money power as the capi- talists do. And, Ike them, he works entirely through agents who are men in his pay He does not work with; he does not support, as La Toilette and Folk do the other leaders of reform. He does not know who they all are. MT, Hearst is not a part of the general reform movement; he simply has a movement of his own. This isn't demo- cratic; this is plutocratlc. MT. Hearst is a boss We need not fear him be- cause he has an organization of his own, for proposes to serve us in office where we can get at him if he doesn't. MT. Hearst is boss who would like to others of his class would give us col leges and libraries and-good, plutocra- tic government.
 But we don't want MT. Hearst to give us' democratic government. We don't want anybody to give us self government, We want to get that for ourselves. We must have leaders, but the kind of leaders we need are men who will not only lead us to restore the democracy but who will inspire and foster in us the spirit that will fit us { to maintain it. For, after all, what we are after Is not democracy, but some | thing we think a true democracy might produce, viz, brave, free independent men and women; individualities, self. | reliant, but on the whole just to others Here it is that MT, Hearst fails.
 He seems to think that democracy is an end in itself. and that the end justi. | fies the means-his journalism. So tC give US better government he would make us a worse people. To get oul ear, he starts string of newspapers. To attract attention he overstates facts and prints them garishly. To hold us many of us, he prints stuff that satis- | hand to read his exposures of the plu' | tocracy, he pictures also the vices o1 the rich. To arouse us to overthrow that plutocracy, he appeals to the same passions in us that have set oul rulers to grating, stealing, bribing, ant generally, to the betrayal of our faitl in them. He sees and he says that wt have class government and showing how he would destroy it, he stirs III class feeling which is likewise an od lous thing. And finally by way O teaching us government and show ing US how he would bring in tn, democracy, he wields the terrible pow CT of the press-greater than of an! office he ever can dream of holding-t actually kills men-this power h. fies our worst taste. To have us or for our good, but also simply for oul entertainment. ."-Lincoln Steffens il the American Magazine.

Oldest Body OF Human Being.

Tho oldest body of any human be-
ing reposes IN the Egyptian gallery of
the British museum. 1t Is the body Of
a man who was buried in a shallow
grave followed out of the sandstone on
the west bank of the Nile In upper
Egypt This man must have hunted
along the banks Of the Nile before the
time Of the earliest mummied king
which the museum possesses, before
the time OF Menes, who was supposed
to have ruled Egypt at least 5000
B. G. There were previous to that
time two prehistoric races, one the
conquerors and the other the con-
quered, from which sprang the Egyp-
tian race Of the earliest dynasties. It
is with these remote stocks that this
man had to do. Considering the condi-
ton In which he was found, 1t is evi-
dent that he was associated with a
late period of the new stone age of
Egypt. He was buried In charac-
teristic neolithic grave, with his neo-
lithic pots and instruments Of flint

to notorious story tellers, no one
knows. But the greatest of the tricks
are attributed to Mike Kelly, Jimmie
McAleer, Pat Tebeau, Billy Hamilton,
Comiskey, Tip O'Neill and Tommy Nc
Carthy.
Tricks are pulled off almost every
day-little ones, often unsportsmanlike
but they win ball games, and that,
especially in professional games, is all
that counts. 1t is boldDess and quick
thinking and acting that make them
possible, and, however one may feel
about the craftsmanship of the player

tricks ever pulled off. It was in game
against Philadelphia, when the pennant

into extra innings, with the score to 5
and both teams fighting for every inch
of ground The eleventh inning began
with darkness descending over the
field, with the score still tie
Chicago scored one run, and the Phil
adelphia crowd, which had the last
bats, was bowling at the umpire to call
the game on account of darkness, but
he refused, and the Quakers were sent
to bat Two men were retired, and
then a single and double suddenly
changed the aspect Of things. With
men on second and third and a big hit

and they began delaying and fighting
for darkness. Still the umpire was OBJ
durate, and the ball was pitched The
batter swung. There was crack and
the sphere went flying out to left CEN
ter. 1t was lost from sight In an in
slant. The crowd did not know wheth-
er 1t was a home run or a line fly.
Two players went tearing toward
the plate. In that instant Dalrymple
stood still, showed both hands above his
head, waited an instant, jerked them
down, stuck something into his pocket
and, turning, ran to the clubhouse,
while the crowd roared over Chicago's s
victory.
But in the clubhouse Dal confessed
that he hadn't seen the ball at all,
hadn't the slightest idea where it had
fallen and that his entire play of catch
ing 1t was pantominie, which fooled
everybody except a few in the left field

left end fence Of the grounds and fall
