"You doubtless mean a bucket of

little attention to your rhetoric.

minutes later the professor said,
''My dear, that picture would show
to better advantage if you were to
hang it over the clock"
"Ah," she replied quietly, you
doubtless mean if I were to hang it
above the clock. If I were to hang
it over the clock we could not tell

dear. Your mistakes are curious"

That Oliver Goldsmith was buried
in the churchyard of the Temple has
been placed beyond doubt by the
entry in the register. But the stone
on the north side Of the Temple
church has been placed on a spot
purely conjectural, for the exact
position of the grave has never been
discovered. The real site was re-
membered as late as 1880. In that
year the sexton, a very aged man.
who apparently was present at the
burial, still venerated an elder tree
which, he said, marked the site OF
Goldsmith's grave This elder tree
seems to have stood a few feet south
of the present stone, near the old

EARLY THEATERS.
London's First Playhouse and New
York's Oldest Theater

NOiN 0l6OS% 4AANSN~tH
Few of the comedians who heap
contumely upon Philadelphia with
jokes built upon her alleged slow
ness realize the fact that the Quaker
City furnished New York with its
first theatrical company. This was
on Monday, the 9Th of March, 1850,
at theater on Nassau street. The
play was 'Richard III, !" with Thorn
as Kean for Richard. The actors
were billed as "the Philadelphia
company in New York" and played
highly varied repertoire. They
came over from England two or
three years before and opened in
Philadelphia, then the chief city in
the British colonies, where they had
the honor of presenting the first
tragedy (''Richard III.''), the first
comedy Oryden's Spanish Friar")
and the first musical piece (E'The
Beggars' Opera") ever given in
America-or In English speaking
America, at any rate-by regular
troupe. They were forced to leave
Philadelphia for New York owing
to an ordinance which called the at
tention of the authorities to Ger
tain persons taking upon themselves
to act plays" The site Of their
Philadelphia theater was Little
Dock street, lying between Chestnut
and Walnut and between First and
Second streets
London's first playhouse was call
ed simply the Theater and was
erected outside the city walls, on
Finsbury fields, in the year 1876.
Its builder was James Burbage, an
actor, father of the more famous
player, Richard Burbage, the orig
inal Hamlet. It was taken down
some eighteen years later, and the
materials were used in the erection
Of the Globe, Shakespeare'S house,
opened around 1898. The Curtain,
London's second theater, IN what IS
now Gloucester street, near Holly
well street, was so called, strange to
say, not from the drop, but from
the name of the manor house on
the site Of which it was put up a
few months after the Theater was
inaugurated.
The oldest theater now standing
in New York is the Thalia, on the
Bowery. 1t was first opened on Oct.
%, 1928, under the name of the
Bowery theater, and as such became
one of the most famous playhouses
in America. The building was three
times destroyed by fre-once on
May 26, 1928; again on Sept %,
1886, and third time on Feb. IS,
1888. On all three occasions the
house was rebuilt and reopened in a
remarkably short time. This thea
ter has been the home of every
form of amusement, from circus to
Shakespearean performances, and
upon its stage some of the greatest
players America has seen made their
debut.-Scrap Book.

MR. ALLIES HERcuLEAN TAsK.

FROM Dover message one might Judge that
u President Roosevelt had commissioned for
mer Senator James Frank Alice to start ma
tional movement for the incorporating OF pro-
hibition plank in the next national Republican
platform. During the recent canvass in this
State the prohibition orators frequently asserted
that one of their hopes, which they believed would
be realized, to have both parties adopt at
their national conventions prohibitory resolu-
ton. Mr.. Alice quickly gets at the head of the
movement, and his efforts therefore, will be
transferred from the realms of Delaware to the
national arena Whether Mr. Roosevelt favors
a national prohibitory plank is open to grave
question. Mr.. Alice makes no statementon that
point 1t must be remembered however that on
various occasions Mr.. Alice has been close to the
presidential car, one notable instance being when,
although his brothers term as postmaster of
Dover had expired the Senator influenced the
President to reappont Douglass Alice postmas-
ter Of Dover. 1t was then presumed that Sena-
tor Richardson would name that official, This is
an indication that when Mr. Alice talks. the
President listens.
BE this it may the Dover dispatch shows
that Mr.. Alice is far buster than even THE
JOURNAL imagined. Mr.. Alice frankly de-
clares that he is not out of politics We summed
up among other labors of Mr. Alice the work
he had done in carrying Kent and Sussex coun-
ties for the "drys;" his crusade against the use
OF money in lower county elections one of the
most commendable Of his activities; his presi-
dency Of the Bay State Gas Company; his part
in the formation of powder company that pro-
poses TO blow up the powder trust" and, Incl
dentaly his private business as an alert merchant
of Dover, keeping the time correct and watching
developments.
But now added to this is the one movement
which will certainly involve a vast amount of
labor, the national effort to secure prohbtory
plank in the next Republican platform
Dover in times past was noted for keen poll
ticians, profound lawyers But in the old fire.
sides of Kent county when the folk were gath
cred about discussing home affairs, it used to
be frequently whispered that although Dover
was bright it was inclined to be ''lazy." If any
such criticism could hold then it certainly would
have no standing now, for Senator Alice has
shown that Dover is not bit lazy. On the con
trary it is alive and Senator Alice proposes. to
keep it awake. He does not intend to rust out.
Our only fear is that Mr. Alice is trying TO out
rival the Hon. Mr. Hercules of ancient fame in
the extent Of his labors. Hercules had twelve
great labors and if Senator Alice continues the
pace he has started he will soon reach that num-
Der.
