In the yestbule at the south end OF
the building and in an adjoining side
room most Of the portraits belonging
to the State Of Virginia are being rap
idly hung. There are other pictures
here, the most interesting of which
perhaps is a fine copy Of the original
portrait Of Governor Sir William
Berkeley. Until quite lately 1t was
not generally known that portraits Of
Berkeley and his Wife were in exist

Commencing again at the north end
Of the building and going along the
right side is first found the exhibit OF
the District of Columbia, which is
really the private loan collection Of

Of relics of the Washington family, and
Will be one OF the most popular in the
building. 1t includes. among numerous
other things, a dress made by Mrs.
Washington for her granddaughter.
Eliza Lewis; one OF Mrs. Washington's
wedding dresses. her wedding fan; Cen

army tent and his state dining table:
some of Mrs Washington jewelry and

will also probably exhibit that most
precious relic Of Colonial Virginia the
silver mace OF the House Of Burgesses.
Partly In the hall and partly In rooms

Adjoining is the collection OF the
Maryland Society OF Colonial Danes,
which Is IN some respects similar in
character to that Just noticed, except,
If course, that there Is no duplication.
There are oil portraits. miniatures. old
books. pewter, fans, etc. Perhaps the
most interesting object in the collec-

stated to represent Thomas Forrest and

objects shown, no exhibit surpasses
that OF Pennsylvania, and but few
equal it. It has been the purpose to
illustrate by portraits, maps, manu-
scripts, books and implements Of all
kinds the history of Pennsylvania and
its people. The Swedish, Dutch and
English eras are taken up In success
sion, and attention Is, OF course. given
to the great German and Scotch-lrish
elements. The portraits are very
numerous, including Gustavus Adolf
plus and William Penn, the latter be-
lieved to be the most authentic por-
trait Of the great founder OF the State.
Nothing short Of q long catalogue
could give any idea Of the size and
value Of the Pennsylvania collection.
Among things, however. sure to at
tract even the most hurried visitor are
the old herpsichord. which is simply a
harp In close case. with a row OF
keys attached. and several paintings
done in Pennsylvania about 1850 by
Morayians. In color and drawing these
pictures are very remarkable for
Colonial work.
In addition to her own history
proper. Pennsylvania has most valu-
able collection illustrating "Pennsyl-
vania's Contribution TO Virginia" This
refers to the German and Scotch-1rish
emigration from the former to the
latter. An important part Of this par
ticular exhibit IS a series OF maps,
the result OF careful studies IN the
Virginia records by Professors Larned
and Meyers, illustrating the move
ments OF population up the Valley OF
Virginia.
New Jersey, among many other
things Of interest. has a particularly
good collection illustrating the history,
1T railroads. The collection Of old
arms is also good, as is that Of Views
illustrating the history and topography
OF the state.

in old books. manuscripts and photo

gust list except what relates to Mary

to be installed in a few days, IT
should be stated here that the separate
buildings of the Presbyterian and Ban
fist Churches contain large collections
Illustrating the history Of those de-
nominations. The collection In tile

In the last room on this side OF the

OF Virginia maps,
IT can be seen even from these brief
and imperfect notes, In which many

those which have been mentioned may
have been overlooked that when ready

Fatal Jump From Train.

Davenport, Ia, Nov. 29.-The body
of Irwin Robson of Bluegrass, Ia, a
senior at the Iowa state college at
Ames, was found last evening beside
the railroad track here. He disap-
peared after leaving the college to
spend the Thanksgiving vacation with
his fancee, Kath crime Carlin, who
lives near Davenport, and when he
failed to arrive in time for dinner d
search was instituted for him. Robi-
son had evidently been killed by
jumping from the train as it passed
the Carlin home. The corpse had lain
alon gside the track all day The
young man would have graduated
from the state college in February
and was to have been married to Miss
Carlin soon after.

AT THE THEATERS.

A most delightful and entertain
ing presentation of 1.-THE District
Leader was given at the Grand last
night by well balanced company in
which there was a star or two. This
| musical play, which actually has
| something of a real story to it, is con-
sidered to be about the best effort OF
Joseph E. Howard. Its plot is inter
esting and its music is decidedly at
| tractive. And although it has been
seen here before there were good siz-
ed audiences at the performances of
yesterday afternoon and last night
Mr.. Howard and Mabel Barrison
created the title parts in this piece,
but they really were not missed. Miss
Ethel -Dovey, as "Flossie Whittle' is
head and shoulders above Miss Bar
rison as a Coincidence. She is about
as clever a little singing soubrette as
has been seen here. Frederick C.
TrueSdell, who has the part that was
played by Mr.. Howard, does excellent
work. Perhaps he is not quite as gooo
an actor as is Mr.. Howard but he is
; much better singer All the other
members of the cast were generally
good in their respective part and soms
highly entertaining work was accom-.
plished by Allen T. Frisby, as Ezra
White" and Frank Weed as 1.-THE
Man Who Bets who accumulated
most wonderful jags before the show
was over through the medium or
good to look at and the piece was ele-
gantly staged and the girls elegantly
gowned.
Members of the victorious Wash
burn football team and the Oklahoma
team occupied the lower suites OF
boxes on either side of the house.
They were the guests of Mr.. Roy
Crawford, the manager of the Grand.
The appearance of both teams was the
signal for hearty applause from the
audience. During one intermissfon
the Washburn boys gave a cheer for
Oklahoma and this was followed by
lusty Washburn yell from the balcony.
Nor was K. L. forgotten. A small
crowd in the gallery followed the
hearty Washburn yell by one for ole
K. U. The Washburn players ana
those of Oklahoma Joined in a cheer
for Mr. Crawford at the conclusion of
the show.

ducers. have taken every advantage of
their opportunities.
Mr.. James T. Powers, the star of
the aggregation, has for many years
been numbered among the leading
comedians in this country, and he has
attained his place on the American
stage purely by the clean-cut, legiti-
mate quality which he has brought to
his work. In 1.-The Blue Moon" he
has role which affords him unusual
advantages for good work and those
who are familiar with Mr. Powers
need not be told that he makes the
Characterization a delightful and
pleasing one. In the company are
many old friends and new names,
which, if reports already had, be true,

dancer, and a superb chorus that
shows to particular advantage in the
several ensemble numbers. MANY
songs that have become popular fav-
orites are included in the list of
twenty-five numbers rendered during
the entertainment.
