In the presence Of these sharply out
lined figures Mr.. Charles Garry's
Judge Brack seemed hesitating and in

May Robson appeared as star at
the Garden theater in 1.-THE Rejuvena-
ton Of Mary" by Anne Warner. and
has succeeded In making her audiences
distinctly pleased with her work. The
Robson Is given varied opportunities
to display her we'll known comedy
powers. AS a dotlng New England
maiden aunt with a boisterous but
we'll meaning nephew, whom she pulls
out Of scrape after scrape, she gave
a stage picture Of wonderful realism
and humor. She was in turn acrid,
acidulous and rasping, strident Of voice
and incisive and. by an apparently log
ical reversion which never seemed In
the least contradictory, was tender,
cheerful, compassionate and womanly.
She occupied much of the stage, and
her lines for the most part We're So
liloquies, but as often as she appeared
she was welcome.
Obviously a number Of the charac-
ters created by the author were in
tended to have n distinct individuality.
There was In particular a maid Of all
work fashioned somewhat after the
Miss Hay Of MRS. Wigs" who
might have stood out in stronger re-
lief. The great fault was that the
personification of the characters in the
play had been intrusted to youthful
amateurs whose ambition did not
square with their ability. The ingenue
In particular had delivery more suit
ed to the uttering Of 'prunes and
prisms" than to the reading Of lines
purporting to represent human speech.
As a paragon of priggishness she was
perfect. Unfortunately the character
was not in the least intended as such.

While they now and then commit
depredations in the poultry yards,
hawks and owls are rightly classed as
benefactors rather than enemies Of the
horticulturist, farmer and gardener.
The good these birds do as destroyers
Of mice, rats, gophers and rabbits more
than offsets their sins in the manner
mentioned. Everything should be done,
therefore, to protect these silent, sharp
eyed feathered friends.

Reports on the sheep industry are to
the effect that there are 100.O0O,0O0
less sheep in the world than there
were in 1873, thirty-flve years ago.
This shortage, coupled with the enor-
mously increased demand for wool and
wooden products, would seem to be
sufficient to account for the prevailing
high prices Of the present.

Mr.. Darlington In Columbia.

In an advertisement appearing in The
State Of last Sunday, is the following
relative to Mr.. John Y. Darlington, of
Laurens, organizer of the Sterling
Casualty Co.:
"Some months ago Mr.. John Y. Gar
ington, progressive, successful in
surance promoter, figured it out that
such company would do good bus
mess in the South if organized on a
big scale armed to compete with the
larger companies Of this kind from the
North and East. With statistics in
hand to show that companies of this
kind make money for their stockhold-
ers, Mr.. Darlington looked about for
cooperation. He found it here in Co
umbia in the persons of Mr.. w. A.
Clark, president of the Carolina Ma
tional bank; Gen. Willie Jones, president
of the Palmetto bank, and Mr.. Thos S.
Bryan, president of the II. l.. Bryan
