1t would perhaps be difficult for
event the habitual theatre-goer to re-
call two more charming acts in any
play than the first and second of Ed
ward Peple's clever drama, 1.-THE Prince
Chap" which was presented at the
Academy last night. The play In
many respects deserves the use of
the word Original" with which 1t Is
described on the program. It tells q
pretty story of child creeping into
the life Of q man, and twining herself
about his heartstrings. The story is
divided into three acts, in which the
Child" the girl" and the woman"
respectively figure. Such care has
been exercised in casting these three
roles that the impression is left that
the child Of FIVE has really grown to
the girl of eight. and that ten years
have made of the latter the woman
OF eighteen. The two children, Beryl
and Helen Pullman. except for the diff
ference in size. are almost the exact
counterpart Of each other. Inc Inc SUE. sur-
prise OF it all was, however, that MISS

case of General Sheridan. whose height,
feet 45s inches, would under the pres
ent conditions barely admit him to the
army, says the Youths Companion.
Whether the tall regiment of King
Frederick William l. of Prussia pos
sessed valor in proportion to their ex-
ira inches is not recorded. Probably
not, as their presence in the army was
for the most part forced and spectac-

arch called them.
His words are more fatherly than
were his actions, for these beloved
"boys" were often kidnapped in the most
brutal manner. officers were dispatched
all over the country to look for tall
men. Height was a dangerous attribute
to possess. Travellers were held up and
fields hills and villages secured for re-
cruits, who, if they would not enlist
voluntarily were taken by force.
Crown Prince Frederick, writing to
his father, in 1882, says:
IL know of a shepherd 6 feet 4 inch
es. He is not to be had by fair means
but he is out alone with sheep In the
summer, day and night, for six weeks
together. With a couple of officers and 6
couple of non-commissioned men bf
could be taken"
His majesty issued orders that thi,
man should be lured to the frontier
where he may be taken quietly ant
without fuss"

sent him to the giant guards, but OF
