Historical Event TO BE Commemorate
AZ Jamestown Exposition.
Yorktown day will be celebrated at
the jamestown exposition Oct. 10.
This win be one OF the last historical
days, the ceremonies of which have at
tracted such wide attention. Repre-
sentatives Of the original thirteen
states win meet la the Auditorium
and after the formal ceremonies Of the
day viii organize a new society, which
will be known as the Society Of the
Descendants Of the signers of ne Dec
laratiOn OF Independence.
Senator r @. Knox Of Pennsylvania
and Senator John w. Daniel Of Viz
ginia will be among the orators Of the
occasion. The idea Of banding togeth-
or In a society the descendants Of the
signers OF the Declaration originated
with william Shields Mexican, tenn
poeary president OF the proposed or
ganization. Mr.. Mexican has made a
tour OF the thirteen states and has sue
ceeded in interesting a large number
Of eligible members. No effort win be

ment Of the programme, to organize
state societies. One national society
will be maintained, with headquarters
probably In Washington. The bylaws
will provide for the observance of all
holidays growing out Of the Revolu-
tionary war and also for the proper
decorations OF the battlenelds and the
graves OF patriot heroes.
For a long time It has been the con-
tention Of many members Of the ex.
isting hereditary societies that there
n a disposition to slight the acts per-
formed by civil officers In favor Of the
more spectacular deeds done by the
army and navy. At the Philadelphia
congress Of the Sons Of the American
Revolution held In 1905 1t remained
for a delegate from the District Of Co
lumbia to point out that the grave Of
John Morton, delegate to the Con-
tinental congress and one who gave
the casting vote of Pennsylvania for
the Declaration OF Independence, was
neglected and unmarked.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

An interesting event will be the ap-
pearance Of Virginia Harmed, in Anna
Karenina," at the Belasco Theater next
Monday night. This play achieved
striking success at the Theater Antoine

over 200 nights. The American version
was adapted bS Thomas W. Broadhurst
from the French of Edmund Guiraud.
No one who has read Tolstors great
romance Will fail TO recall its two great
episodes Of the imperial races at Tsars-
kOe-Selo, during which Prince Vronsky
almost meets with tragic death while
leaping the hurdles on the back of his
horse FrOu-Frou. and the final terrible
climax of the passion -disillusionized
Annals despairing suicide under the
wheels of a locomotive. Still more pow

scenes between Anna and her husband,
with her son and with Vronsky. In the
race scene a splendid spectacle is afford

court elegance. The Shuberts have en-
gagged an unusually strong supporting
company for Miss Harmed, headed by
John Mason, who will play the role OF
the husband; Robert Warwick, who viii
