JULIUS CAESAR LAST NIGHT.
Mr.. Robert Manten Gives Good Per-
formaace at New National.

f0rmaRce at New National
one Of the most satisfactory perform
ances OF his shakespearean repertoire was
given by dr. Robert Manteil and his
company last night at the New National,
when Julius Caesar" was the bill. 1t
was the best staged OF all the plays that
have been given this week, and 1t suited
better the capabilities Of the company.
1t was an amazing contrast 70 the per-
formance Of the previous night. The au-
.dience was large and wonderfully enthu-
siastic, and after each act MF- Manteh
and the principal members Of his com
pany received several curtain calls, A
huge basket Of flowers was also handed
% the star at the end Of the second act.
That stage version Of Julius Caesar"
was given which was prepared by Mr.
William Winter from the prompt book OF
Edwin Booth II gives the play in six
acts and nine scenes. Mr.. Mantel played
Marcus BTutus, a character that IS so Wen
within his range that he fits it perfectly at
every part Here his deep. sonor0us voice
comes aptiy into play, and undisnguFed
by wig. he really looked ''the noblest
Roman Of them all" The hurly-burly Of
the death scene in the capitol and the
scenes that go before give no hint Of the
capabillty Mr. Mantell displayed in the
latter scenes. His speech in the forum, too,
.ahlv as il was delivered, was eclipsed-
as Shakespeare evidently meant II should
be-by that of Mare Antony. But IN
that fine scene in the tent OF Brutus IN
the camp Of Sardis, Mr. ManteiFs woTk
was above reproach. and not at all neon
sistent with the high ideals which, re-
membering Booth and Barrett Of our own
ted with II
The lines are inTinsicslly noble, and
they lend themselves TO noble and lofty
utterance Mr.. Manteli gave them full
value. and the scene as IL was played
last night was Ike noble poem accom-
panied by an organ. Very strong, too, was
the final scene on the plains of Philppi,
where. as the curtain fell, the last words
of Antony over the dead body of Brutus
seemed to be echoed In the audience:
His life was gentle; and the elements
So mix'd ia him. that Nature might stand up,
Ard say 10 all the world. This was a man.
The principals and the supporting COM
pany were very much better in this than
they have shown In other plays. Mr.. Ceell
Owen as Caius Cassius did some excellent
work; fine in eIoeution, and feeling in de-
livery he kent up well with the high
mace set by HIS Brutus In the camp scene.
Francis McGinn as Julius Caesar was
adequate. If not brilliant; Miss Russell as
Portia. of course, has little opportunity.
Great credit IS due Mr.. Hamilton Mott
for his fine performance Of Antony. The
noble lines took on added nobleness be
cause of his fine delivery; he shows him
self in this part 70 be a player Of fine
discretion and high intelligence. The
scenes were Of great beauty, the mobs
well handled, and altogether the presenta-
ton of Julius Caesar was a perform
apce to delight in. The play will be re-
peated this afternoon and tonight.

a land company In Michigan had an
elephant on its hands in the form Of 1000
acres so thickly studded with pine tree
stumps that no inducement would at
tract a purchaser to buy and clear it
for farming purposes. So the company
built "a distillery IN the middle of the
tract. dug up the stumps and roots and
made turpentine. The venture proved so
profitable that the stamps brought in
more money than the trees did when they
were cut and sold for lumber sOEle years
before. Pine stump land is no longer a
drug On the market, for dfter the stumps
arc all made into turpentine the rich,
cleared farming land remains as addi

Hospital Day Tomorrow

When Manager Jessup was shown
meeting is to be held at Fl Wayne.
Sunday. Richmond would be represent
ed but that he thinks it is little early
to prepare plans for next season.
Manager Jessup thinks that before
any plans are decided on for reorganiz-
ing the Indiana-Ohio league the reor-
ganization of the o. P. league, the P. O.
VI. league and the Central league
should be awaited.
By the proposed reorganization OF
these three leagues it is probable that
several good baseball towns will be
left out in the cold and il would then
be possible to include them in the In
diana-Ohio league. Manager Jessup
thinks President King has decided not
to call league meeting until the reor-
o. NJ. league and the Central league
had definitely been decided on. con-
sequently he was surprised to learn to-
day that Killing had called a league
meeting at Fl. Wayne for next Sun
day.

Interesting Contest at Ten
Pins Took Place Tues
day Night.
NOTES OF THIS SPORT.
OTHER GAMES,sAS BEING PLAYED
IN THE EAST, MAY BE INTRO
DUcED HERE sooN-THERE is
QUITE A VARIETY.

An interesting contest on the City
Bowling alleys was played Tuesday
evening between a picked team and one
composed mostly of the Idlemans. The
picked team won two out of the three
games. Good scores characterized the
contest. The picked team was com
posed of King, Foster, Denny. Rotter-
man and Youngflesh. The Idlemans
played Morrell, Kenny, Stevens, John
son and Idleman. The scores:
Picked team ...........SO 800 S27 7S5
Idlemans =. :. ........747 1877 S23
After this match the Idlemans play
ed the Lukens, winning, 775 to 63S.
Wednesday Nights Game.
The Hunts team will not present its
strongest lineup against the Rotter-
mans this wednesday, evening, but
should win two out of three Young
flesh. a recent acquisition of the Hunts
will be on the score board.
Bowling Notes.
Al Morel is now in possession of the
high score for the Thanksgiving tur-
key His effort is 215.
Up to the present time ten pins has
been about the only game played on
the local alleys. The numerous small
ball games played in other cities have
been tried here by only few. Once
introduced, they will no doubt prove
as popular as elsewhere.
In the Eastern states, pin knights
are giving much attention to duck
pins, there being several strong
leagues in New York and the New Eng
land states, which play with the elu-
sfve baby pins.
In the far Western states rubber
necks is the game in vogue, while nine
pins has its adherents everywhere.
