JACQUES
.'TRILBY."

a-r4
 It. is the universal verdict of play goers that "Trilby" which Poli's Own Stock company is presenting at the Jacques this week Is the best pro- duction of the season. The play has been carefully staged and rehearsed and the performance is just as smooth as if 1t had been played a hundred times by the company. The present generation of theater goers who have never seen the play are focking to the play house and many of those who saw it when 1t was the rage of the whole country are going again to witness the splendid per- formance. It is a play which will appeal to all and the careful charac- ter studies of DuMaurier are so cleverly portrayed that the play de- lights all. The first act is in an ar tist's studio in the Latin Quarter in Paris and is uncommonly interest ing. There one sees the three artists who worship little Trilby. There are Taffy, the Laird and Little Billee, characters played by MT Charlton, MT Armstrong and MT Spottswood. "Trilby" Is played by Miss Nordstrom who does some of the best work that she has done this season. MT Hart ford, under whose direction this ex- cellent performance was given" plays the role of Svengali and give a powerful portrayal of the difficult role. On Friday afternoon, there will be flower matinee when astors will be given to the ladies in the audi ence. Polls popular prices.

It is seldom that a melodrama on the popular price circuit survives a second season, and the re-appearance of a piece is significant of the fact, to use stage phrase, that 1t has made good" The Ninety and Nine," rural comedy drama written by Ramsay Morris, billed at Poli's on Friday and Saturday with matinees Is in It's fifth season, and bids fair to remain many more for the populari- ty of the play seems to be on the in- crease instead of the decline. It is a justification of belief among the better class of playwrights, that if given a chance, the popular priced houses will support a much better grade of attraction for the Ninety and Nine" offers none of the impos- abilities that have been the chief claims of many of the so-called suc- cesses. but on the contrary, while 1t introduces some startling scenic ef- fleets, It's action takes place in thd state of Indiana in a little village and the comedy is furnished by the quaint characters of the rural dis tricts and 1t carries with 1t an at- mosphere wherein dwell the big hearted, care-free country folks.

Hushe. Needed, Says Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay, \. r., Sept. 2.-Saga- more Hill was the scene of another political conference, the subject of which was the gubernatorial nomina- fion of the Republican party in New York state, and President Roosevelt again made known in words that could not be mistaken his attitude on the nomination of Charles E. Hughes for governor. The president told those who came to confer with him on the New York situation that it was abso- lutely necessary that the Republican party should renominate Governor Hughes at the coming state conven- tion, but at the same time said he had no intention of attempting to dictate what action the convention shall take in the matter.

MRS wIoGs OF THE CABBAGE

MRS wIGGs OF THE CABBAGE
 PATCH"
 70, Lord. whatever happens. keep me from gettin sour!" Such is the prayer of Mrs Wiggs and 1t is just this determination to have sunshine in the heart that makes the play, Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." both a joy and benefit. A person who treasures secret sorrow or nurses great grief should not go td see Mrs Wiggs during her engage ment at Polls this afternoon and evening, for one cannot listen to her and remain sad. The dear old lady of the book has lent her personality to Helen Weathersby and she could not have trusted herself in better hands. The humor and pathos of the written pages are not only retained, but the art of the actress adds to the enjoyment of the one and give deeper meaning to the other. In this instance the play is not the whole thing. clever as 1t is. The fine char acter work makes one forget that the plot Is not subtle and is the distinc- tive merit of the piece. Mrs Wiggs and her daughters. Asia. Australia and Europena, whom she named from the "jography." the lazy-loving MT Stubbins. the pessimistic Miss Hazy. spiteful Mrs Elchorn, impul- sive Billy Wiggs, and the misunder- stood Lovey Mary, each tears a page from life and with such rare group .of entertainers finespun lot would be out of place, for great emotions need simple settings.

TAYLoURs AND SMITHS.
They Were the commonest Trades In
 the Thirteenth Century.

INey were tho SoTnfHoHeSt trdoeS tIt
 the Thirteenth Century.
 The manufacture of leather in the thirteenth century seems to have been important. showing that leather jer- kins and brooches were commonly worn. We have 19 skynners, 40 bar kars. 6 saddelers. 3 cordeweners, 167 souters (shoemakers) and 8 glovers. The surname feuster is a trade name denoting maker of pack saddles.
 The commonest trades are taylour and smyth, since one lived in almost every village. The taylours number 407, of whom 40 are called by the Latin name of cissor. Tn addition to 261 smyths. several are specialized There are two arusmyths. three loke- smyths, three goldsmyths. five fferours (shoeing smiths) and six marshalls (far- riers).
 The wryght wrought both in wood and metal. The number catalogued is 1S6, of whom S1 are called by the Latin name faber (French favre). one of the few cases in which the Latin translation of a trade name has be- come common surname. The wryghts' trade. like that of the su1yths. was specialized. The arkwryght made the great arks or chests in which the clothes or meal were stored, and we find plowwryght. wheelwryght. two shippewryghts. eleven cartwryghts and two glasswryghts tglazia-s). who were probably concerned with the win dows of churches Glass windows in houses were rare.
 The bakesters are few (ifteenI. sug- gesting that families baked their own bread. There are twenty-six butchers (fleshewer, bocher or carnifexl. whence Labouchere. while the surname potter shows that this trade was in existence. The fysshers forty-threel were opu- lent. being taxed twelve times as much as laborers.-London Notes and Que ries.

 Niagara Falls, N. r., Sept. 2.-"I'm through with the game. If ever leave Columbus again 1t will be by some other agency than balloon" So said Perry Gregory, sixteen-year-old son of Charles D. Gregory, vice president of the Chicago Aero club and treasurer Of the Federation of Aero Clubs, as he lay on a cot at the Memorial hospital nursing the injuries he received when the big balloon Vile de Dieppe made its disastrous landing at the northern limits of this city. .
 His brother, Gerald Gregory, eight cen years old, has made flights before and took the accident phllosophlcally. Captain A. E. Mueller, who was in charge of the balloon, declared that the use of the anchor and drag rope, which caused all the trouble, was, not with his consent or advice. +,
 All three of the occupants of the car were more or less Injured, and the bal. loon was partially wrecked.
 BalIoonists' Close Slaves.
 That the balloonists escaped with their lives is little short of miraculous. They came within an ace of being pitched headforemost into the rapids of the Niagara gorge and were finally dumped out of their car into the deep cut of the New York Central railroad at the Devils hole. h.. .
 The story of. the trip was told by Captain Mueller as he lay on couch in the yogt farmhouse. We left Go lumbus, o." he said, lon an endurance flight, our purpose being to demon. strate the good quality of the gas which several of the participants in the international race from Columbus had complained of as being inferior and not suitable for record work.
 we were waited in this direction and sailed over a part of Canada and toward the Niagara gorge. The heat was intense, and Perry Gregory began to grow ill In an hours time he had completely collapsed, and we found it necessary to land for. medical assist ance. I did not want to use the an chor. It jerked along the surface of the ground, catching against one ,ob- stacle after another, and with each jerk we were tossed abo t violently in the car.
 Pull Up Plank Sidewalk.
 Fences and telegraph wires were pulled down, and in one instance we lifted a whole section of plank side walk. Then we sailed across the NJ agara gorge, with the anchor rope dragging. The anchor caught on the top of the bluff on the American side, and for a moment i; looked as If we would be dashed to destruction on the rocks below. The car tilted to dan gerous degree, but the anchor released again, and we .drifted on until the rail- road cut was reached, where 1t again caught and this time held.
 ''The car assumed an acute angle so suddenly that, despite our efforts to hold on and give hand to Perry, we were precipitated into the cut and landed in heap"
