NOTABLE PLAY
HERE TONIGHT

All the settings for 1.-The Three OF
U.s., which will appear in the Dan
vile opera house tonight, are made
convincingly true by close attention
to the little things of every day ex-
isteuce. This use of detail is enforced
by the employment of dialogue that is
simple and human and utterly devoid
of heToios. The speech at all times in
periods Of the play is spontaneous and
natural. This play is in fact dressed
in dialogue of a rare and beautiful
true kind, The speeches are all fitted
to the occasion and appear not TO have
been written at all. The dialogue is
the fine and great quality of the play.
Miss Janet Waldorf in the role Of Rhy
MacChesney is delightful and all
through the play is as true to nature
as the dramatist will possibly allow.

yesterday at noon.
He was secretary and general super

health. In his work as health officer
ue had use for formaldehyde and kept

bottle of whiskey.
Yesterday morning he went to the
reservoir which supplies Northum ber-
land with its water, on visit of in
spection. The morning was raw and
when he returned he was chilled to
the bone. He doubtlessly intended to
take drink of whiskey as stimuli
ant, but drank from the wrong bottle
and did not realize what he had done
until he had swallowed the poisonous
liquid.
The water company Office is on Queen
street, below Front, and he went from
there to the office of DR.. Hileman up
the street about block. 1t was too
late for the physician to save his life
and he died shortly afterwards.
The deceased was aged about 65
years aud was resident OF Northum-

Followed Suit.

On the day of the admission of M
Rostand to the French academy the
author of "Cyrano" and 'L'Aiglon"
gave a breakfast to a few of his
friends, the guest of honor being Mime
Bernhardt. The actress was dressed In
a handsome gown, which had been
made expressly for the occasion. At
the end of the breakfast she arose and
in an impressive manner took a glass
held 1t high and said, "I drink to the
greatest of French fists. NJ Ro-
stand, and I drink after the Greek
mannerw She then poured the con-
tents of her glass over her head and
gown.
Two of Rostand's small sons were
sitting at side table wearing new
velvet suits, also made for the occa-
sion. In the silence which followed
Bernhard's dramatic tribute the elder
of the boys arose and, initiating her
manner, said, Il drink to the greatest
of poets, my papa, and 1 also drink in
the Greek fashion" and straightway
deluged himself and his small brother
with the contents of his glass.

READING In Bed.

Boys and girls under eighteen
should be strictly forbidden to read in
bed" says the Lancet, on the author
ity of DR.. Hugo Feilchenfeld of Ber-
lin, who declares that in the case of
young persons whose eyes are not
fully developed the practice is likely
to induce myopia. While young peo-
pie run the greatest risk, the Lancet
thinks that reading in bed is unde-
sirable for persons of any age and
states that SIN the case of aged, anx
ious. worried and bedridden people, to
whom it would seem cruelty to deny
what may perhaps be almost their
only luxury, for fear Of inducing some
slight error of refraction, care should
be taken that the light is sufficiently
brilliant, the eyes being shaded from
1t, and that the patient lies on his

STUPID SHEEP.
They Are About the Most SenseIess Of
All Animals.

They Are About the Most SenseIess Of
All Animals.
A Colorado ranchman declares that
no animal that walks is as big fool
as q sheep.
1--WE have to watch them every min.
ute, and II vigilance is relaxed for an
instant the entire flock is likely to
practically commit suicide. In han.
ding most animals some degree of self
help or intelligence can be relied on to
aid the owner in saving their lives, but
sheep seem to set deliberately to work
to kill themselves.
IF caught in a storm on the plains
they will drift before the wind and
die of cold and exposure rather than
move n hundred yards to windward to
obtain shelter in their corral. To drive
sheep against the wind is absolutely
impossible. l once lost over 1000 head
because l could not drive them to
corral not 200 feet away.
"In the corral they are still more
foolish. If storm comes up they all
move down wind until stopped by the
fence. Then commences the proceed
ing so much dreaded by sheepmen
known as piling' The sheep will
climb over each others backs until
they are heaped up ten feet high. OF
course all those at the bottom are
smothered. Not one has sense enough
to seek shelter under the lee of the
fence, as horse or dog would do.
"Again, If a sheep gets into quick
sand its fate teaches nothing to those
that come Immediately after, but the
whole flock will follow its leader to
destruction. No more exasperatingly
stupid animal than a sheep walks."-
st. Louis Globe-Democrat
