25, 26 and 27 with special matinee Sat urday at 2:15, Charles Klein. the au- thor, has selected a theme intensely in teresting to all classes of American cit izens. The central character, John Bur kett Ryder, known in Wall street as Ready Money Ryder" is a modern king of finance, show mas he is, robbed of all melodramatic attributes. In op- posing and strongly dramatic contrast he places an equally true figure of American womanhood. It is their clash of sentiments and opinions that consti- tute the basis upon which this powerful drama of American life is built. The play which has been running success fully for two years, is perhaps one of the best American dramas ever written.
 The company presenting the piece here is the original one, headed by Ed mund Brees eand Grace Elliston.

NOT CRIMINAL NEGL1GENc,

NOT CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE
 In a report yesterday on the fatal fall Of Alvin Ely of North Haven into the elevator shaft at the c. s. Mer sick store last week, Coroner Mix finds that the accident was due to the fail ure of the elevator shaft guard rails to work properly, but finds no criminal negligence.
 The elevator is a new one and was just put in by the Eastern Machinery company at Governor Woodruffs store The fact that the defect in the ma ehinery had been evident but a short time does not warrant any prosecution for negligence, the coroner reports.
 Tt was a case of accident through the failure of the elevator guard rails to work but I cannot find this due to criminal negligence which warrants a prosecution, although it may afford grounds for a civil suit by the rela. i tives of the dead man." said the cor orner yesterday. T have ordered the Mersiek company to see tat the rails are fixed before using the elevator again and that will be the extent of my action in the matter"

pAY oF THE PIPE NoT YET.

A great many Americans have long been waiting for, some well-known and highly respected person to affect the pipe and give it due prominence. For unfortunately, this is preeminently the land of the rolled smoke-the cigar aud cigarro, the cheroot and the perky cigarette. The cigar sign blazes by night in the city There are so many different brands of cigars in the United States that there are not enough famous names to go around. It's as true of some parts of the country as it
 is of Cuba, that the popularity of the cigar keeps the pipe out of the mark ct. Then again, there is the taste which prefers to have the sitting-room scented by the worst brand of cigar rather than by the choicest mixture ever rammed into that most soothing of fireside companions, the church ward en. The pipe was one of the few joys of the pioneers. Mark Twain has done his best by posing on several occasions with his faithful corncob between his teeth. In general the American cele- | brity who chooses to assume nonchal-
 ant air before the camera makes use of
 the cigar or cigarette, and the we'll
 dressed man who smokes a pipe fa broad daylight, in the madding crowd, 1 is stared at as a curiosity or an lAn-
 glomaniac, Over here the pipe needs
 uplifting. The neglect into which it has
 fallen is one of the marks of the de-
 parture from the simple fife Boston i Transcript.

well in the shade. The best varieties
are grandifiora which has large white
