600 acres of land are pending, some of
which were filed as long as 10 years
ago. None have been passed to pat

Commissioner Ballinger, upon hear

is of great Importance to the school

Nat c. Goodwin, the leading Ameri-
can comedian, is announced for an
early appearance in this city. There
is no actor on our stage today who en-
lows the universal popularity of this
player His versatility seems to have
no limits, and with the possible ex-
seption of the late Joseph Jefferson
we have had no actor in a decade who
has had his potent power of blending
comedy and pathOs in single scene.
His is the gift of producing tears of
laughter and sentiment at the same
time. His personality ie not only an
attractive one, but he has that great
est of all gifts in a public player
magnetism. Mr.. Goodwin will present
here his comedy, entitled "A Gilded
Fool" 1t is the best play Mr.. Good
win has had in years. He is said to
have a role peculiarly suited to his
talents Conspicuous in his supporting
company is Miss Edna Goodrich. a
young actress of acknowledged talent
and striking beauty, who plays an ar
fist model in the comedy. Others in
the cast are Neil O'Brien. H. G. Ions
dale, Gordon tombstone, M. B. Snyder
Rose Snyder. SuZette Jackson ana
Evelyn Walls. The comedy will be
deliberately mounted with beautiful

lures added value to the short biogra-
phical sketches which made up the
BODY of the volume. The notable script
of John Hancock, the designating
words of "Carrollton" which Charles
Carroll added, the peculiar fourlsnes
with which Benjamin Franklin ana
others signed. had an attraction to the
elders and the children as they
turned the pages again and again.
One enterprising publisher. as late as
1923. put forth a nine volume ed1tloh
of the Lives to meet the demand OF
inquiring patriotism.
To the modern mind other questions
than those merely biographical have
stronger appeal. 1t would be interest
ing to know. for example, how many
male descendants in the paternal line
are living. The experience OF those
who have spent much time in geneaio-
gical research indicates that many
American families dating from colo
NAL times have run out entirely. the
present day descendants bearing other
patronymics than those of their ante
revolutionary ancestors.
1t would be likewise a matter of in
terest to ascertain where the descend
ants are now to be found. There is
