nous adventures of the "ScarecrOw,"
as presented in song and dance by AL
fred Bridge, are something worth go
ing miles to sea whole show in
themselves. Nothing has been omitted
that would tend to enhance the per-

lists are each and all the very best
that can be had. The success which
has attended the show on this, Its
first western tour, is proof positive
that it is just what popular favor de-
mands.

ADJUSTMENTS
1.-THE MISSOURI GIRL"

1.-The Missouri Girl is a comedy
drama that produces more genuine
hearty laughter than anything yet
written. In Connection with strong
and interesting plot, it contains the
most ludicrous situations ever con-
ceived. The company presenting the
play this season is composed of some
of the best known people in the theat-
rical profession, who are fully capable
of extracting this fun, and doing it
out to the public in most satisfactory
manner. Nine of the old favOrites re-
main in the cast; some of them have
played their respective roles continu-
ously for eight seasons. This guaran-
tees a first-c class performance. The
new people added for this season were
selected for their peculiar fitness for
the roles they are to assume and it is
safe to predict that a better than
ever" line can safely be added to the
matter.
The vaudeville portion of the show
has been enlarged and strengthened.
The production will be seen in it's en-
tirety at Keylor Grand, Sunday night,
April IA.

one FARMER REFUSES
TO PAY FOR BENEFITS

"Flourishing, f1ourishing," said agent
Emil SandersOn of the farmers free
employment bureau, in reply TO the in
quiry of a reporter into the affairs
of the labor getting combination.
1--WE have more men than We have
jobs for now and there is every pros
pect this condition will hold good until
after harvest owing to the suspension
of railroad construction and the lum-
Der mill strike in the northwest
Notices will be sent to the members
of the farmers association next week
informing those beneficiaries who have
not yet paid their initiation fee the
same is due and the money will be
needed for immediate use in securing
an influx of Iaborers for the haying
season and harvest. About 100 farm
ers are expected to send in their dues
as the result of this circular.
So far only one case Of dissatisfac-
ton has been reported to Mr.. Sander
son, one farmer refusing to pay his
fee after having secured several men
through the agency of the bureau. The
man in question is a we'll known farm
err and is noted throughout the county
as hard man to work for. He re-
fused to pay any money because the
help he secured did not stay with him
and he had the nerve to come back
again and inquire for laborers after
saying he would not contribute a cent
to the agency. Sanderson told him
plainly if he could not keep men it was
not the fault of the bureau and if he
wouldn't pay his share of the expense
he need not expect to derive any ben
eft from the farmers association.

wASHINGTON'S UNIVERSITY.

The bequest in the. will of George
Washington towards an endowment
for a university to be established at
the capital of the nation has peen
brought to the attention of the pubic
again and again during the more tnan
hundred years since the first presl-
dent died 1t has been before con-
gress at intervals, has been the sup
ject of many reports to one house or
the other, and has had the favor OF
many prominent men and women.
Just now the subject is again re-
ceiving attention because of the ac-
tivity of the authorities of what was
long known as the columbian uni
versity,'' an institution which changed
it's name not long ago to the George
Washington university" It's president,
a former Chicago man, now announces
that another western man with uni
versity experience has been selected
to undertake a special canvass of the
country with the definite purpose of
realizing the ideal which the father
of his country" had in mind.
The project of national university
has not met with favor from the rep
resentatives of the leading institu4
tons of learning in the United States.
The matter has been discussed in
many meetings of the Association OF
American Universities" an Organiza-
ton comprising a dozen or more Of
the big schools such as Harvard, Yale
Princeton, Columbia, Pennsylvania,
John Hopkins, and Cornell nj the
east and Chicago. Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, California and Leland Stanford
in the west. The sentiment has been
adverse. This may have been due IN
part to a desire to limit the number of
real universities or it may have come
from a feeling that there was no real
need for a great institution at the
capital. On the other hand,
the persistence of attempts by several
to establish well en-
dowed foundations at Washington
seems to reflect a popular opinion that
the location is an ideal one for the
purpose.
When the strength and the activities
of such educational forces as the con-
gressional library, the Smithsonian in
stitution, the Carnegie foundation, the
national observatory, the coast and
various other public or semi-public
are considered it is natur- |
al for the thought to take shape that |
a well endowed degree comforting in !
of university rank might at
tract large numbers of advanced stu-I
dents because Of the superior advan-
tages afforded by the increasingly in |
kn1
government. Whatever the outcome +!
of the present movement may be |
the subject is likely to come up often !
until Washington has great school |
for higher education.

Mr.. WALKER WHITEsIDE.

Walker Whiteside, the young actor
who is to be seen here for a brief en-
gagement at the Keylor Grand Thurs
day, April IS in his new play, 1.-The
Magic Melody is one of the most in
teresting figures of the American stage,
and his position has been won by sheer
merit and any quantity of hard work.
For a number of years he has toured
this country in classic drama, playing
a round of the Shakespearian charac-
tiers, and this is his first venture into
the realm of the modern drama. A
short time ago he effected an arrange
ment with the well-known theatrical
firm of Liebler & Co., by which he be-
came a star under their management,
and this is his first tour under their
direction.
Mr. Whiteside first appeared in the
theatrical world in 1898 when he began
an engagement at the old Union
Square theater in New York, playing
Hamlet" Even at that time he was
at the head of his own company, and
has remained in a similar position
ever since. 1t is a curious feature of
his career that he has never yet played
in the support of any other actor, but
has always been seen with his own
organiza tons, and it is to this that he
attributes the success he has attained,
for he has never yet been subjected to
directing mind in preparing his stage
portrayals, but has been enabled to
mould his characters according to his
own ideas. In the present vehicle Mr..
Whiteside assumes the character of
a young violinist who is finding it an
uphill fight to win recognition from the
musical world. The story is said to be
terse, powerful. and full of wonderful
sympathy and appeal, while garnished
with stout dramatic situations that
lend an added interest to what is de-
scribed as a most unusually powerful
and interesting play. Mr.. Whiteside
has been supplied with a remarkable
supporting company and has been fur
nished with an adequate production in
every detail by Liebler & Co, His en-
gagement is regarded as quite one of
the most interesting that has been
played during the present season. The
sale of seats opens at

Anna Karenina.


 Virginia FIarned in Anna Karenine" will be the attraction at the Hyperion theater Friday and Saturday nights with matinee Saturday
 Since the year in which Lyof Tol- stoi's great novel appeared it has suf- fered both adelation and criticism. Re gently it has been said by Edmund Gosse that Tolstoi has but one Euro pean peer tVictor Hugo) in the power of portraying everything that goes on under the sun, It is a surprising thing that 92 years elapsed before the drama tization of a novel that is so elninently Htted to the needs of the stage. Guir- aud's play was first brought out last February at the Theater Antoine in Paris and Mime. Megard scored a sen- sational success.
 Virginia Harmed has never had a role that afforded greater scope to her emo- tional powers. When this play was presented here last spring under anoth- CT title she fully demonstrated what a tremendous triumph was in store for her in the role of Anna.
 The staging of Anna Karenina" is almost revelation even in these days of theatric fidelity to detail The cos1 tuning shows the highest art of the modiste, and the Mini Express scene which shows the passing of heavy train across the stage, is a master piece of stage mechanism.

"We Are King" !"

"We are King" with Lawrence Evart in the leading role, which comes to the New Haven theater on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights of next week, is a bright comedy, and was used by MT Whlteside as a starring vehicle for three years.
 The action is in Kahnburg, a small prineipality in Germany, and dea,s with the complications in trying to de- throne King Hector, a despot, who has run his kingdom into debt and ground down his subjects.
 Gustavus Venner, correspondent for the London Record, a fight hearted fel- low, wanders into Hamburg In search of news. He is arrested as a spy. eThc Prime Minister of Kohn5urg and h,s followers who are plotting to rid the kingdom of Hector, are so impressed with Nenners marvellous resemblance to the King, that they induce Venner to impersonate the King, who is away on a secret mission.
 Venner, under the impression that he is rendering the King and the court a favor, and seeing good "copy" in sight consents. Hector returns unexpectedly and is dragged away to prison as d spy while Venner, costumed as the King and accepted by the court, proceeds to run the Kingdom. He lowers the taxes on the people, throws the Palace open to the people and gets himself Into all sorts of ludicrous complications through his ignorance of court affairs. Holiday matinee Labor day and the regular matinee on Wednesday.
