AMERICAN WIT AND
GEORGE ADE SLANG ARE
GREEK TO ENGLISHMEN
First Presentation of "The College
Widow" in London Puzzles
British Contingent In
Audience
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
LONDON, April 21.-The British
public had it's first sample of George
AIDE comedy last night in "The Col
lege Widow" which Henry w. Saw
age presented at the Adelphi theater.
The audience was composed largely
of Americans, and conspicuous in the
boxes were Robert ]. Wynne, the
American consul general, and his
daughters, and Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar
Lewisohn (Edna May).
The verdict on the play was inde-
cisive; the Americans were enthusi-
astic, but the English spectators were
interested and puzzled by turns.
The management provided glossary
of George AIDES slang with the pro-
grams, but much of the dialogue, par
ticularly the college slang, was Greek
to the English contingent. Many of
the best jokes were received in melan-
choly silence.
The company was almost entirely
American and their acting was more
animated than the English are ac-
customed to. The fall of the curtain
was followed by some hooting, but
applause predominated.
The newspaper comment is friendly.
Magnificent" "stupendous," are the
adjectives used to characterize the
third act.

OVER 100 Miners
4RE ENTONBFn
VIENNA, Oct. ii


Over one-hundred miners are en-
tom bed in the Koenig coal mine in
Silesia. The catastrophe was caused
by an explosion.
No hope remains of saving any Of
the imprisoned miners, as the fire has
shut off the work of rescue.
Six charIed bodies have been recov-
cred and their condition shows that
they were burned to death rather than
killed by the explosion.
1t is believed that there are nearly
200 men entombd, and that they will
all be burned to death.
The fire originated in an upper GAL
lery and spread SC quickly that the es-
cape of the miners was cut off Rescu-
ing parties attempted to enter the
mine bat were driven back by the
flames and fumes. Great crowds of
frantic friends and relatives, of the
miners surround the mouth of the
mine. A number OF the wives of the
victims became uncomfortable from
their grief and were only restrained
from entering by armed guards.

Audience Was Well Pleased.

Those who have ever read the book
Graustark, by George Barr Nc
Cutcheon, and mighty interesting
novel it is, dealing with subject
ever new, yet ever old, that of love,
must have been much gratitied if they
attended the dramatization OF the
novel at the opera house last night.
when Stephanie Longfellow as the
princess, ably supported by Burt King,
the adventuresome young American
prince, gave it most excellent rendi-
tion, supported by a powerful COM
pany.
"Graustark the play is several
leagues ahead of Graustark" the
novel. or course, the story of the
piece is familiar to readers and theatre
goers, and the playwright has follow
ed the novel rather closely, improving
where she has changed. It's we'll
staged and capably acted and is pre-
sented with vim and dash. Stephanie
Longfellow as Yetive was winsome
and graceful, forgetting the dignity of
the princess in the gracious and warm
impulses of the woman. Burt L. King
was q handsome American lover, and
the other characters were capably TAX
en-. The stage effects are excellent.

fact that our Representative in Con-
gress is 30 generally praised by men
of the highest intelligence in all sec

making estimates OF representatives

-FOUR BALLOONS
MAY BIZ LOST
BERLIN, Oct. ii.

BERLIN. Oct. ii.
Four of the balloons that started in
the international race are still miss
ing. and today little doubt remains
that they have fallen either into the
North Sea or the Baltic and their dar-
ing aeronauts drowned. A report just
received from Heligoland says that the
Castillo fell into the North Sea near
that city, and that both Of its aero
nauts were rescued with difficulty.
One of the patrol boats sent 20 watch
the balloonists effected the rescue. The
Castilla was piloted by Senior Montojo.
HARDLY IN THE AIR.
Tie Castillo was one Of the three
balloons that sailed in the James
Gordon Bennett cup race on Saturday
her competitors being the German
Busley ana the Swiss Helvetia, both
of which are still missing. It is con-
sidered impossible that they are still
in the air If they alighted on the
land, it is believd, word would have
been received from them. The Busley
was piloted by DR.. Riemeyer, the
Helvetia by Colonel Schaeck. Each
balloon also carried an assistant.
TWO GERMANS MISSING.
The German balloons Hegersell, pilot.
ed by Lieutenant Toertsch, and the
PLUM, in charge of Herr Hackstetter,
which started in the endurance race
Monday, have not been heard from.
Their capacities were respectively l.
450 and / 1896 cubit meters and this
amount of gas could hardly keep them
aloft more than forty eight hours.
BRITON HAS BEST RECORD.
The British balloon Bsnshee, report
ed in these dispatches yesterday as the
probable winner of the Bennett cup,
still has the best record. 1t came down
at Kidding, Schleswig- Holstein, ,495

Cook had started on the last stage OF
his journey. 1t was dated Polar Sea,
north of Cape Hubbard" and said
that up to that point everything had
gone very we'll, although the weather
was extremely cold. He was making
