The LaSalle theater, Chicago, the
home of record breaking musical COM
edy successes. apparently is grooming
another candidate for honors in the
race for long continued runs. Man
ager Mort. II. Singer is making prep
arations for the celebration Of the
Tooth performance OF The Girl Cues
ton" the latest work of Messrs. Ad-
ans, Hough and Howard. which is
giving JUNE McCree, the Originator
Of slang on the modern stage, oppor-
tunity to promulgate a new brand,
weird language with a relish born of
her long association with slang roles,
which antedates the activity of George
| AIDE in the slang field. The Girl
Question will have its century pre-
sentation Oct. 19, and appropriate
souvenirs will be distributed on the
occasion.
With IT'S Tooth performance The Girl
Question" gains the right to be con-
sidered among twenty-four plays which
have made runs Of 100 or more presen-
itations at Chicago theaters; because it
is one of the most original comedies

Morrison as 'Mephisto" in Faust be-
came a standard.
This condition was enhanced by tho
fact that there were two Morrisons in
the field and both playing Faust. each
essaying 'Mephisto" in the cast. Ono
was the Louis Morrison Of this chron-
icle. the other distinguished actor
also, said to be the greatest heavy
man as tragedian the American stage
had ever seen, supporting in his day
all the celebrated leading artists
His stage name was Lewis Morrison,
his right name being Morritz w Nor
ris. He passed away at the age Of 10
or Whereabouts in Yonkers. N Y, in
1908. and was lamented by all who
knew him, both as a man and an ar
fist professional
During both OF the years 1895 and
1894 a wordy war was engendared
between the two Morrisons in the New
York Dramatic Mirror. which caused
considerable amusement, as II was
charged that each was endeavoring TO
steal the others thunder. when the
right TO the name of Morrison as a
birthright was proven by Louis Nor
rison, also, the foregoing right
name OF the late Lewis Morrison.
Intelligent persons OF the entertain
ment profession, who keep posted on
current events, remember this contro-
versy well, which ended amicably at
ter all. and both kept on, each giving
a finished performance of this great,
education and allegorial production,
Mr.. Louis Morrison simply renewing
the almost unbroken series of former
seasons. Mr.. Morrison will be seen at
the Towle opera house, Thursday night.

IN NINE DAYS DREAM
Tobias Gaddis of "White
Gaping Fame, Suspicion
ed of Shamming.

Bloomington, Ind, Oct 16-After
nine days of violent insanity, which
deffed treatment and which caused him
to be considered eligible for the Cen
trail Indiana insane hospital at In
dianapoHs, Tobias Gaddis. who shot and
killed Jesse Robinson in the late
'whiteoapping" affair." suddenly re-
gained his normal condition. Gaddis
had been slowly improving for two
days, and it was noticed that he did
not rave nor cringe for fear of white
caps" to such an extent as formerly.
Nine Days Only "A Dream.
About midnight he became perfectly
sane while some of the prisoners in
the county Jail were talking to him.
Gaddis says the last nine days seem
like a dream to him. His mind is per-
fectly void as to the investigation of
the committee, and the decision to
have him placed in the insane hospi-
tai. He says he does not wish to go
to the hospital as he is not crazy.
His physical condition shows the eff
fects of the strain he has been under.
He is very feeble and has the appear
ance of having had a spell of sickness.
He wants to fight the charges that
have already been preferred against
him. He denies vigorously all the re-
ports to the effect that he may not be
entirely guiltless in the 'whitecap-
ping episode.
Some Suspicion OF Shamming.
/ One Of the first things he did after
regaining his mind was to express a
desire to see his lawyer. AS TO wheth-
er Gaddis has been shamming there
| seems to be no way Of telling at pres
ent, and this will probably have no
bearing on the case now that his mind
| is normal and he expects to fight the
| charges of theft against him. The com
mission found his mental condition tc
be unsound when they examined hin
a week ago, and decided to have hin
| transferred to the institution at In
dianapolis Yesterday Gaddis wrote
letters IN answer TO those from hi:
girl wife and TO his sister at Muncie
He read the letters which came severa
days ago for the first time Monday.

DIED AT THE POOR FARM.
But Papers Showed an Aged Atchison
Peddler to Be Wealthy.


Atchison, Kan, April 5.-The Globe
says:
Franklin L. CaIl<ins, an old gentleman
who had peddled medicine around
Atchison for some time, died recently
at the county poor farm. After his
death, papers were found among his
effects indicating that he owned city
property i'll Pierre, s. D., and 800 acres
of land in Magoffjn county, KY. Inves-
tigation shows that neither of the pro-
perties in question has been trans
ferred and they still stand in the name
of Calkins. The lot in Pierre is near
Capitol square, and is supposed to have
considerable value. The 800 acres of
Kentucky land are in the mountainous
eastern section of that state and may
not be worth more than blue sky. On
the other hand the land may be valu-

Information, was informed that the land
stoed in Calkins' name, but no esti-
mate of its value was given. Frank
Faris, janitor of the West Atchison
school. wns appointed administrator of
the Calkins estate, but as the land will
go directly to heirs, he will not be re-
quired to go to Kentucky. n. w. Calk-
ms, a son of the deceased, lives in
Idaho, and Mr.. Farris has had a letter
from him.
Atchison county has no particular
claim against the Calkins' estate, as
the old gentleman was in the home only
a short time. DR.. c. H. Lindey, who
was his physician, found him sick in a
room on Park street. He urged him to
go to the home, where he would receive
attention.
