SPECIAL!
Academy of Music.

Mr.. James K Hackett, who will appear at
the Academy Of Music, Baltimore, Monday
evening, April 18th, will present one of the
conspicuous plays of the last two seasons IN
the United States, play that ran for two
seasons in London and won the highest ad-
miration from the people who are willing to
think at the theatre and remember that which
they have seen when they leave 1t.
THE Walls of Jericho is solid, serious,
purposetul modern drama of ideas by Mr..
Alfred Sutro. 1t is one of the greatest society
plays of recent years, for it is rooted IN life
itself and proves its author a figure in the
front rank of English dramatists and OF the
first group of living English literati. In his
play he has set forth in striking contrast the
useless and useful members of society-society
in its broader sense-and ont of very common
materials has built an uncommon play. None
of its four acts is empty and from first to last
the forwarding idea of the narrative is never
forgotten. The play is designed to stimulate
thought rather than stir the emotions, and IN
doing this it serves an unusual and wholesome
purpose.
The moving theme of 1.-The Walls of Jeri-
cho" is the sin of Incidence. The dramatlst
has uprooted in Australia healthy big listed,
big-hearted. Woodworking young man OF
wealth, Jack Frobsher, and has set him down
a peers daughter and, to all purposes, her
entire family as well. He finds himself
member of the smart set, a selfish, vulgar,
indecent set, whose women smoke and gam
BILE, firt, lie, avoid motherhood, or, having
children neglect them, who squander money,
fritter away their time, mock at charity and
scorn decent friendship; whose men are spend
thrills and phlanderers, who hang around the
bridge tables, dance, drink tea and try to say
smart things.
1.-The Walls of Jericho was planned and
written with painstaking care. The dialogue
is direct incsive, smooth and meaningful. In
every key line, III every important speech there
is expressed some big idea which must give, a
thoughtful nearer a good opinion of Mr..
Sutros mental calibre. The sentences are
not epigrammatcal; they are above that: They
fully express in direct form the thought it is
intended they should convey: The play is
not cheapened with syntactical fourishes;
there are no senseless cryptic illusions. The
dction is pure and simple; the speeches are
sharp and to the point. The dramatist has
fine feeling for words.
There will be matinees Wednesday and
Saturday

Twenty Millions Dying Of Hunger

LONDON, April 1O.-Dr. Kennard, commits
sioner of the Society of Friends, who was sent
to investigate the Russian famine, writing from
Samara, in the heart of the famine district,
under date of April 8, appeals to the United
States and Great Britain to promptly send
help. He says:
There are 100000 people distributed
in the southeastern provinces OF Russia who
without aid cannot live to see another har-
vest"
In Samara alone, the Commissioner adds,
thousands are dying and $4,000 are starving.
Of the latter only S72, 700 are getting relief
a dole of one meal in "a hours As a meal
is only two pounds of bread and bowl of
soup, this, according to the Commissioner,
means dying by degrees. Even this meager
dole in countless instances is divided among
many mouths. There are only sufficient
funds on hand to last until May 1, whereas
money will be needed until the end of July
when the harvest will bring relief.
The Commissioner especially appeals for
canned milk. He says there are 800, 600
children in Samara province who have no
milk and are forced to eat coarse bread made
of acorns, powdered wood and cucumbers,
resulting in thousands of deaths and much
disease.
In conclusion the Commissioner appealed
to the Anglo Saxons for So, 100000 to save
twenty millions of human beings who are
dying lingering deaths from starvation

Insanity Is Increasing.

In the twenty.frst annual report OF the
Lunacy Commission, Dr. George j. Preston,
secretary, states that insanity is on the in
crease in the State of Maryland. The state
ment is offered on a comparison Of the admis-
sions to the Springfield Hospital for 1906
with those of former years. Increased ac-
commodations must be provided, says DIR.
Preston, if the State is to continue its present
policy of caring for its INDECENT insane.
DIR. Preston, in the report, complains that
the appropriations of the last Legislature were
entirely inadequate to meet the requirements,
and he adds that the coming Legislature will
be called upon to appropriate larger sums than
ever to support this class ofpeople, which is
on the increase.
OF the ascertainable causes of insanity, &C.
cording to the report, heredity leads, with
alcohol next. The percentage due to alcohol
is the largest yet recorded. The evil effects
OF alcohol upon an unstable brain and nervous
organization, whether inherited or acquired,
cannot be underestimate as causing factor
in insanity, he says. The percentage of
deaths for 1905 is lower than for two years,
apoplexy heading the list. Employment, the
physician states, is the best medicine for the
chronic insane when the mental and physical
condition will permit it with safety to them
selves and others.

Farmers Die Young.

Anyone who has lived on farm knows of
the strain under which an American farmer
lives during the five months OF spring and
summer. His workday is from or O. clock
in the morning until 8 or 9 at night, including
chores-15 or II hours of the hardest kind OF
physical labor, and every minute of it at high
tension, especially during the harvest: Then
comes a period of relaxation in the fall, the
one time in the year when he has just enough
muscular exercise to keep him in health; later,
the winter season, approaching stagnation, in
which he takes on flesh, gets logy, and then
a furious dehauch of hard labor through the
spring and summer again. No wonder that
by forty. five he has had sunstroke and cant
stand the heat" or has ga weak back" or
his .'heart gives out" or ''chill makes him
rheumatic ;and when you add to this furious
muscular strain the fact that the farmer sees
his income put in peril every season, and his
very home every bad year, so that each
unfavorable change in the weather sets his
nerves on edge, it can be readily imagined
that the real "quiet, peaceful country life'' is
something sadly different from the ideal.

Will Support Mahool.

Several Wachter Republicans in the Twelfth
ward have expressed wish to join the Ma
hool League in that part of the city. An
emissary called on Secretary Goldsborough at
the headquarters of the Taxpayers League,
% West Saratoga street, today to ask if there
would be any objection to receiving them into
membership. He was assured to the contrary.
All Republicans who wished to ally them
selves with the movement to elect Mr.. Ma.
hool would, he was told, be gladly welcomed
into Democratic clubs. Mr.. Mahool dropped
in about this time, and he supplemented MIR:
Goldsborough's invitation with personal
one.
On the day following the Democratic pri;;
maries, more than eight letters were received
at Democratic headquarters from Republicans
who, in many cases, claimed to speak for
whole families and for friends, assuring Ex-
Governor Brown that they intended to sup
port Mr.. Mahool for Mayor. The avalanche
has continued on every succeeding day..

Queer Story Of Strange Robbery.

WASHINGTON, April s.-The police are in
vestigating amysterious robbery of a residence
in this city last night when the thief or thieves
not only carried away a certified check for
$40, 900, several hundred dollars worth of
jewelry and deed for property valued at
$1,000, but also sought to burn the house
while filled with number of guests invited to
attend an engagement reception. The cries
of small child in a room on the second Hoor
adjoining the one where the fire was started
attracted the attention of those in the house,
and it was then that the fire and the thief were
discovered.
The victim was Mrs. Torrillo Famiglietti,
and the guests, all Italians, had assembled at
her home, 314 Fifth street northeast, in honor
of her approaching marriage.
Mrs. Famiglietti came here several years ago
from Yonkers, N. Y, where she obtained
divorce from her husband.
The check, it is stated, was certified to by
Yonkers bank, and represented the balance
of lottery winning by her Of SIS 900, but the
police officials received word from that city
today that there was no such bank in Yonkers
as that named.

believing one cannot safely leave so much
to his children, and that it is not wise to
burden oneself with the care of so much
money-more money than he needs-he
should give it to worthy religious, educational
or charitable institutions all except sum
sufficient to keep himself and family from
want and to start his children in the world,
and then donate to his country the talents he
has used to accumulate his fortune

IN MEMORIAM.

In loving remembrance of my loving husband
Alexander Carr, who died one year ago April 9Th
1906. Gone but not forgotten.
You are not forgotten,
Nor will you ever be;
For as long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
Day by day we saw you fade,
And slowly pine away;
And in our hearts we often prayed
That you might longer stay.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our hearts,
Which never can be filled.
God in his mercy has recalled
The boon His love had given;
And tho his body slumbers here,
His soul is safe in Heaven.
BY HIS WIFE, MRS. ALEXANDER CARR.
Father on earth to me,
Dearest father thou has left us,
Your smiling face We'll see no more;
His spirit is at rest,
He has gone to be with Jesus,
In the land of the blest.
Often we seem to be cheerful,
We smile and they think we are gay;
But. alas. we are gloomy and fearful,
Because of the one far away.
Hope is our great consolation,
We are trusting the time that's to come;
And the woe of our long separation
Will make us forever as one.
Dear grandpa
God alone knows how we miss thee,
In our home, o grandpa, dear;
How for thee our hearts are yearnlng,
MRS ED oRENDoRFF.
In memory of our dear daughter, Nettie B. Klee,
who departed this life six months ago, October S,
1906
We saw her fade and waste away,
And saw her gasp for breath;
We saw upon her sunken face
The fatal sign of death.
The golden gates were opened,
Aud gentle voice said Come;
And with farewels unspoken,
She calmly entered home.
The midnightstars are beaming
Upon silent grave
Where sleepeth, without dreaming,
The one we could not save.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams love to linger
Where our darling Nettie sleeps.
BY HER MOTHER AND FAMILY.
In memory of our dear mother. Sarah E. Davis, of
Bird Hill, who departed this life April 10, 1904.
Oh mother 1t was hard to give you up,
Often wander to the graveyard
Flowers to take with loving care,
On the grave of my dear mother
Who so sweetly seepeth there.
There are lots that bear mothers name,
But few who fill her place. BYAs.D.
God alone knows how we miss her,
When we go to our mothers home.
How we long thy voice to hear;
She is waiting by the river.
Just across the silver stream,
She is waiting for US there. BY L. Z. C.
