Piling Up q Needless Surplus.

There is deducted from the pay of
every soldier in the regular army 1914
cents every month for the maintenance
Of the Soldiers home In Washington.
Very few soldiers stay in the army till
they are eligible for the home, and
there is a growing conviction that the
tax is an imposition, besides being
great deal Of trouble to the paymasters
and being quite superfuous, as the in
stitution has already accumulated a
fund of 100000, which is drawing
$125,000 Of interest, and the remission
Of this tax is now strongly urged. One
reason not mentioned for abolishing the
tax is that much of the money is used
for keeping up the grounds Of the home
as a public park for the benefit of
Washington and in providing accom-
modations for the superintendent and
such other officers as are assigned to
duty there.-P Philadelphia Record

Married His Mother-in-laU.

A man Of Centreville, Wash, aged
fifty-seven, was married few days
ago to his mother-in-law, a woman of
seventy years. A daughter Of the
latter, woman Of forty-seven years,
was bridesmaid, and a frisky bachelor
of eighty years was best man. So says
a news dispatch from a little town Of
the Evergreen State. The basic facts in
this remarkable case having been pre-
scented, curious, scarce believing pub
lie awaits further developments. Did
this mother-in-law marry her relatively
youthful son-in-law in the hope Of sub
jugating him? Did he marry her with
like intent? Did the daughter lend
countenance to the marriage in the
hope Of seeing them fight it out, not
caring who was the victor? Portland

When Tamagno, the famous Italian
tenor, died not long ago it was found
that he had directed in his will that his
body be embalmed and placed In lead
coffin, which should be deposited in a
chapel, to which the public always
might have access. Tamagno also
showed his vanity, characteristic
conspicuous in him throughout his life
by asking that his coffin have cover
of plate glass, SO that future genera
tons might gaze upon his face Most
Of the provisions Of the WILL however,
will not be carried out, for sanitary

Fake Antiques.

One Of the most remarkable pieces OF
fake carving the National museum has
ever seen was submitted to Professor
Baird when he was living several years
ago, said Professor Holmes the other
day. 1t came from some one down in
Texas and was a beautiful piece Of
work in smooth stone about three feet
long. It was grotesque animal made
up with part of the head of a rhinoce-
ros, the feet Of an elephant, the beak Of
parrot, the tail of lizard and the
hind feet Of an alligator. But it was
clearly a fake, for the work was too
fine and the design was such as none Of
the Indian tribes ever conceived, It
was sent back and afterward lost sight

Richmond's Most Notable Dramatic
Event.

Beginning Monday, February Goth,
and continuing for one week, with Matt
nees Wednesday and Saturday, klaw 4
Erlanger will present at the Academy Of
Music, what is universally conceded to be
not alone the most colossal theatrical
production known to the annals of the
stage, but the most beautiful and costly
ever conceived.
Messrs. klaw 4 Erlanger have sent to
that city the mighty spectacle Ben Hur''
that classic Of impressive drama. In
that productiO great organization not

scented by klaw & Erlanger, that of
"Humpty Dumpty is mightier and more
beautiful in every respect than any of its
predecessors

mime, lis the name might imply, nor has
it anything in story, scene or construc-
ton similar to any of the small plays of
that title which have ever been seen in
this country The production will be
seen with all the original American cast
which characterized it's years engage
ment at the New Amsterdam Theatre
New York
''Humpty Dumpty" is the mightiest
merger OF fun, frolic, fantasy, melody,
and magnifcence known to the theatri-
cal world. An idea of the immensely of
this production may be CLEANED from the
fact that more than $50 comedians, sing
ers, dancers and pantOmimists appear in
it, and Z scenes. each as elaborate as an
entire ordinary production, and more
beautiful than has ever been seen on the
American stage, are used. The costumes
number 1000 and cost alone $15O,OOO
to produce. The impression produced by
"Humpty Dumpty'' is that of a beauti-
full dream of color, costumes, calciums
and hosts of beautiful women-a dream
that never stops for moment.
The principals of the cast are Frank
MOulan, Maude Lillian Berri, Nellie Daily
