ANDREW CARNEGIE WILL NOT
Appeal BEFORE COMMITTEE
Declares He Gave His Views on the
Tariff in Letter, but Refuses
to Tell What He
Wrote

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Andrew Car
negie apparently will not appear to-
morrow at the hearing in Washington
before the ways and means committee
on the iron and steel schedules on the
tariff.
He said this afternoon he had replied
by mail to the committees invitation
to go. to Washington and give it the
benefit of his new tariff views; but,
while he was willing to give out this
information he refused to disclose the
nature of his reply, saying he thought
such action on his part would be dis
courteous to the committee.
If the letter carried a refusal to at
tend the hearings the decision could
not have been due to the state of MIR,
Carnegies heath, for his secretary said
for him that he had completely re-
covered from the indisposition which
prevented his keeping an engagement
in Baltimore last night.

BROWN OF HARVARD
GOOD COLLEGE PLAY
MISS VIRGINIA KLINE GIVES
PROOF OF ABILITY
Play is Happy Mixture of Comedy,
Action and Character Plot.
Mr.. Van Buren, at His
Best

n NE of the best of the scenic eff
fects of Brown of Harvard" is
~ George Webb's hat. Mr.. Webb
takes the part of Happy" Thurston,
and has an impassioned. beribboned
top-piece that almost monopolizes the
second act Several plays could be
written around the hat, in fact a relay
race could be run around it. Mr.. Van
Buren,, Tom Brown, the leading juven-
lie, hovers around the Outskirts OF the
hat during most of the act, as rank
outsider With the removal of the lid
and incidentally of Mr. Thurston, his
chances with the girl improve.
The company has scored again in
Harry Woodruff's delightful play of
college life. Miss Virginia Kline, the
new leading woman, was taken into
favor at the opening performance
Monday night and strengthened her
hold by her excellent portrayal of the
role of Evelyn Kenyon last evening.
Her stage presence is winning and her
voice distinct and we'll modulated. She
is pretty woman with an abundance
of temperament and mobility and
charm of expression. She wins her
audience first hand and keeps them
with her during the evening. The part
calls for a rather difficult mixture of
moods, but she rose to the situation
with admirable force, her comedy be-
ing excellent and her dramatic periods
strong.
Mr.. Van Buren, was at his very best
in the play. He was bright and whole
so re in the comedy lines impressive in
the more tragic, and manly where the
situations demanded. He has not been
seen to better advantage this season,
unless it be in "Tom Moore" where he
made a great hit. The cast last night

self is a bright, wholesome comedy
drama, with good fast action, excellent
situations, bright lines and a cleverly
woven story of intrigue that carries it
along in interesting fashion. Miss
Smythe, Mr.. Glazier. Charles Ruggles
and Ben Graham were all in most ex-
cellent fettle and kept the play going
with the usual Belasco swing. To that
most reliable of actors, Richard Vivian,
belongs a special word of praise for his
fine comedy. Any man who can get
away with six cream puffs at one sit
ting deserves special commentator,
and Vivian did it in a fashion to keep
his audience in a perfect scream of
laughter. The settings were all new
and attractive and, as usual at this
house. correct in appointment.
The play is at times a merry and
mundane college bit and at times re-
veal thread of deeper woven design.
There are a number of tense situations.
much good comedy and two excellent
character parts. Mr.. Charles Ruggles
is not at his best as Wilfred Kenyon,
the erring brother of the heroine. Mr..
Ruggles is seen to better advantage
in character acting.

NO WEDDING BELLS FOR JOE
MICHIGAN FARMER SHES NOW
AT MAIL ORDER WIVES.
SAYS He Has Had Three of Them and
Ought to Know That They
Are No Good.

MARSHALL. Mich, November 4.-That
the "mail-order wife as an invest
ment does not fill the bill, and rarely
comes up to the description and spec,ti-
cations in the advertisement, is the testi
mony given in court yesterday by Joseph
Sturgis, a Lee farmer, in procuring
divorce.
Mr.. Sturgis has qualified an expert,
since he has thrice married what ne
calls mail order women and found
them unsatisfactory.
After unsuccessfully escaping from
two of them through the courts, he cor
responded with another i'm New York city.
On the stand he said he sent the woman
$500 before he ever saw her. Then sne
urged him to come to New York city
and see her, asking him to send her 500
more in advance to insure his coming.
He forwarded the required sum, and
when he got there found her an invalid
in wheel chaif. She said she was
awfully sorry to have deceived him re-
gardng her beauty but that she had
wealthy relatives in England whom she
expected to die very soon. and just as
soon as they did she would pay him
$40 for every dollar he had given her.
So Sturgs gave up another $500, and she
Dressmaker Landed Him.
When Sturgis got TO the dressmaker's
she rushed to him, threw her arms about
his neck, and wanted to marry him
straightway Sturgis agreed and they
were soon married. They came to Mar
shall and went to live on the farm.
It was not long before his new wife
told Sturgs that the "corn-fed Holsters
around this county didn't look very
good to her. and after she had spent
her husbands money she returned to New
York and he applied for a divorce.
After hearing this story the court
thought Sturgis was certainly entitled
to divorce, and it was granted on the
grounds of desertion. Sturgis said the
woman's poSt-office address in unknown
to him. but that he knows that she is in
New York because he received a sOuve-
mir postal card from her there.
