ROGERS BROTHERS.

'"The Rogers Brothers in Ireland' is booked for the Hyperion next Wednes- day and Thursday, For eight seasons the organization has held first place in musical comedy Year after year new productions, each elaborate and tune full, have been presented and achieved a success more notable than any com petitors The unique trademark has been preserved throughout The first,
 "A Reign of Error was presented in 1898, followed by "The Rogers Brothers In Wall Street." 1899; "The Rogers Brothers in Central Park, 1900; The Rogers Brothers in Washington 1901; '"The Rogers Brothers in Harvard" 1902; The Rogers Blotiiers in London" 1908; "The Rogers Brothers in Paris, v 1904, and "The Rogers Brothers in Ire- land,' 1905,
 The popularity of the last-named has suggested that it shall be continued another season, for the reason that in the cities played the demand for seats has never been exhausted and one tour is not sufficient to cover a third of the territory available. "The Rogers Broth CTS in Ireland" is perhaps the best of the repertore--lt is the most consist ent. Irish wit and wisdom is always acceptable and Irish music grateful to the American ear. The public enjoys Q pastoral atmosphere and the legend of the blarney stone is one of the pretti- est jokes that folk-lore has given us, The scenery of the production is very elaborate and always suggestive Of fresh air, and no matter how we joke about the bspipes the music is inspir- ing. Altogether the vehicle is a charm ing one and the organization so large and merry that it is a crime to miss It. "The Rogers Brothers in Ireland will dingle in our ears for years to come. More power to the brothers and Erin 80 brau.''

H. c. FRIcK's START IN LIFE.

And yet not so very many years ago, not longer than most of can remem- ber, Henry Clay Prick was graduated from clerkship in a small store and became the owner of one coke oven and little patch of coal land in Penn- sylvania. Had there been no yearning for larger things; no understanding of tae needs of a growing business. or had there been no desire to be "one's own boss, Henry Clay Prick to-day might have been the same obscure groer's clerk instead of one of the men who made, through his coal and coke industry, the gigantic United Steel Corporation possibility. From one little coke oven in Pennsylvania to move than 10000 ovens in that state, and many more that he Is build- ing in West Virginia more coke tlas been produced than by any single con- trolling company in the world That little over had grown so that up to a year ago it's companion ovens were able to keep the great furnaces of the steel companies blazing night and day. Many millions have come to Prick and his associates in the coal, coke and steel business, but all from that first lonely little coke oven.-From Cent Per Cent

CLAlMORING FOR FANS.

Shoe manufacturers have done their best to fight agains: tan shoes. but the public will have them. A few years ago tan shoes were almost shut out of the market. Nobody seems to under stand why unless it is because there is. less profit in them for the manufac- turer and they do not wear out St quickly, At all events the public was kept away from tan shoes. This year the supply of tans appears to be small, but the wearers are taking 8 hand in things and demanding that the retailers produce the goods and and the retailers have told the jobbers are after the manufacturers. What efw tan shoes there have been on the market are low-cut shoes, in which there is more profit apparently On some articles of wearing apparel the customer will take his cue from the storekeeper but on shoes he comes pretty near knowing about what he wants. And the American girl; she. too, has declared for tans for sum- mer wear,-From the Maiden News.

curing a cast of nearly sixty people. The afternoon tea at Stiva's presents gay scene of Russian manners, and the race course spectacle at Tsarskoe- Selo is not only, it is declared, brilliant with the splendor Of costume and uni- form, but is full of the excitement of the hurdle race in which tSe daring Vronsky is thrown with his horse Frou Frou in missing a hurdle The suicide of Anna at the close gives opportunity for a triumph of stage mechanism in the representation of a railroad train dashing at full speed across tee stage, and this illusion is said to be so realis- tic as to seem absolutely true. The drama would seem to combine high emotional value with rich spectacle and almost sensational realism of scenic effects.
 The principal characters in the play will be, besides Miss Harmed as Anna, William Courtenay as Vronsky, Albert Gran as Prince stiva, Albert Pruning as Alexis Karenina, Henry CoWan as Nicholas, Foster Williams as Anna's little son Serge, Mabel Blanchard as l Dolly, Ann Warrington as the Count 1 ess Maigkai.

BOsTON'S WORK HORSE SHOW.
 The directors of the Boston Work Horse Parade Association intend to increase its scope every year, if pos sible, and this year they have added stable competition, driving com petition for four-in-hand and class for mall carriers horses. There ara thirty CT forty mail collectors and mail distributors connected with tho Boston postofiee who use horses and wagons, for which purpose they are allowed an average sum of $500 per year, out of which they provide a aorse and vehicle and pay for keepinR repair, etc. This is not large sum, and in many cases the mall carriers are obliged to eke it out by expend- ing part of their salaries for the same object. It is not unnatural, therefore, that the horses used in this service sometimes present a bad appearance.
 Prizes are offered for these horses at parade on Memorial Day this year. in
 compliance with request made by some of the mail carriers themselves,

 The story of the play opens in New London, Conn, in April, 1775, when Hale was school master there. Then follows his refusal to join with the Tories, the enlistment under him of the school boys and his final setting out to discover the plans of the British in their campaign up the Hudson river.

Clyde Fitchs superb historical drama "NNthan Hale" will be offered next week by the stock company at the Bi- 1ou theater. It is the same play in which Nat Goodwin and Howard Kyle have appeared and it has met with phe- nominal success from coast to coast.
