most successful play, THE Modern Lady

Rochet-Schneider machine in preference

auto IS one Of the most elegantly ftted
in existence Its color is yellow and the
interior is upholstered in red silk The
machine was built for long distance
travel and is furnished with a buffet and
ice box It is heated by electricity and
has every known device for comfort,
speed, and safety. Last summer, in this
car, Miss Bingham established a record
for the distance between st. Louis and
New York. The ground was covered in
sixty-one hours. to do which an average
speed of thirty-five miles an hour was
maintained. While on long tours Miss
Bingham employs professional chauf-
feur, she is herself an expert at
the art Of handling a machine, and has
taken chances that would do credit TO a
competitor for the Vanderbilt Cup, She
has gone over the cup course on Long
Island in but slightly slower time thar.

During the present tour Of THE Modern
Lady Godiva" Miss Bingham has left a
city cOincident with the departure of the
train carrying the remainder Of her COM
pany and arrived first IN the city where
they were to play the next night. The
result of this hardy. open-air life is that
Miss Bingham is in the most superb
physical and mental condition and does
not experience the tiresome strain she
always did when touring under the ordi-
nary conditions.

The report comes from London that
John Hare, the English actor, has an
nounced mis- intention 70 retire from the
stage within year. In September he will
begin a farewell tour Of the provinces

London. Mr.. Hare is sixty-three years
old, and retires from the footlights with
long and brilliant theatrical career be-
hind him. He played at the Prince Of
Wales Theater for ten years, and then
assumed the management Of the Court
Theater, which ne retained from 1879 to
1873. During the next nine years he man
aged the St James Theater with the

Golden TraiI of the Auto

From the Boston Herald.
A golden trail marks the summer Jour
neying of the automobillsts through New
England. One OF Connecticut's careful
statisticians has figured that not less than
s., ,O00. 900 will have been left in that State
alone by the tourists before the October
days come. Boston's receipt Of nearly
S. 60 in fines during the last summer is
suggestive and soothing in this connection.

animation has recently been made Of 8
sample Of such butter which was found

granular, and the whole mass had been
converted during the passage OF years

That mediaeval customs still prevail
in New York and that the form of &c.
curity with which Shakespeare has made
us familiar in '"The Merchant of Venice
Is not unknown, was evidenced in an
astonishing case brought to light in the
police courts in which the penalty of
the voluntary cutting off Of three fingers
played the chief part. The case hinged
on an agreement entered into BY a
bishop and three archdeacons OF the Ar
menlan Church involving certain valu.
ables left in the keeping of the latter
BY the bishop, with the understanding
that If he did not return to claim them
within one year he should forfeit three
fingers from his right hand, while in
the case Of his returning the valuables
were not forthcoming each of the arch.

The bishop returned according to agree
ment but failed to get his property.
Singulariy enough the three arclideacons
showed surprising unwiIlingness to be
separated from their fingers, and the
modern Shylock was forced to appeal to
the courts for either his goods or his
penalty. The appearance of plaintiff
in court in the twentieth century ask
ing that three men be forced to allow
him to cut off three of their fingers
caused as much wonderment as was
occasioned on his part when the neces.
sary order was sternly refused.
