Behold man Of ShopIess Town;
His name is Obadiah Brown.
ts says the town does not improve,
But runs along its ancient groove.
He'd like to see It spread and grow,
And yet he does not help, you know.
Instead Of buying things for sale
Right here in town, he's sent by mail
For many years and bought his things
From those faroff Mail Order kings.
No wonder, Obadiah Brown,
This home Of yours is ShopIess TOWN.

 Lyceum roduction-PersonneI of the
 Cast.
 After little less than two months of the hardest kind of rehearsing, the Yale Dramatic association is at last ready to present that delicious com- edy of Arthur Wing Pinero, 'gThe Amazons." Promptly at S:SO this even- ing the curtain of the Hyperion the ater will rise on a piece, which by the dress reheasal yesterday, was shown to be as clever and well acted a play as this club has ever put on. For a dainty bit of up-to-date humor, the equal of this piece cannot be found, and not one jot of this fun has been overlooked by these clever students.
 Through the kindness of Daniel Frohman, whose photographs and the and the original prompt book of "The Amazon's" to the association the pro- duction will be an exact counterpart of the Lyceum production. Frank Lea Short has staged the play, after hav- ing studied all the data in MT. Froh- mans office. The Dramatic associa- ton is now in its eighth year, and this promises to be the most brilliant event of that period.
 Max Parry, who played Falstaff last year iii Henry the Fourth" Tom Achelis, who was Hotspur in the same piece, and II. Smith jr., who made a hit as Dame Juickly, will play import ant parts this evening.

Hungarian Bandsman

Hungarian Bandsman.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN. April 6.-The elopement of
Countess Wilma Festetics. a twenty-year-
old girl of noble birth, with a Hungarian
gypsy bandsman has caused sensation
unequaled since the flight of the notori-
Gus Princess Chimay with her gypsy
lover, Rigi.
Countess Wilma Festetics is the daugh-
ter of wealthy Hungarian magnate She
is very handsome, a good horsewoman
pest and Vienna. She was engaged. to
Count Sigmund Spretti. distinguished
hungarian nobleman.
A few weeks ago the countess arrived
at Vienna. and afterward left for Munich
accompanied by her mother and her be-
trothed.
During their stay at Munich Count
Spretti took the two ladies to an amusing
cafe chatant, where Rudi Nyary played
with his band of gypsy musicians every
night
The countess fell a victim to the fas-
cinations of this swarthy Magyar and
afterward she wrote a Lote expressing
her desire to meet him.
The relatives of the countess do not
know when or where the meetings first
took place. The first intimation that her
mother had that she was infatuated with
the musician came after her flight from
Munich. She left her apartments one
morning ostensibly to do some shopping,
and the next day she telegra pied to her
mother from Italy that she was engaged
to Nyary, and was determined to marry
him as soon as the necessary formalities
were completed
The mother OF the countess has gone to
Italy to endeavOr to persuade her to
return home.
Nyary was greatly admired by the
women in Munich, and the cafe in which
he played was crowded nightly He was
of striking appearance and not more than
twenty-five years Of age

MIsMANAGEMENT ALLEGED.
Receiver for New York Electrical
Union Named.

NEW YORK, April 6.-Justice James a
O'Gorman today appointed William ]. Ken
ny receiver for the New York Electrical
Union in the action brought by the attorney
general against the union.
This action was begun on a petition filed
by members OF the union claiming that the
finances of the organization had been mis-
managed by the officers.
II was alleged during the trial that In the
year 1906 the receipts of the union were
$40. 900 and that its expenditures were 500
90. Under the bylaws the expenditures
should have been less than 5000 a year. It
was said. The union was organized in 1904
as a corporation and included 2,000 inside
electricians.
