1T was a trying task. To carry
it off was to induce her audiences,
not only to pity the prisoner at the
Court of Austria, but to respect the
son of Napoleon, the Great. Every
moment of the play the audience
had to be made feel for ana with
that boy.
This is what Maud Adams did
in I'Aislon' in English, while Ma
dame Sarah was achieving the same
results in French.
as certaily as you knew that a
great French artist had arrived in
New York, you felt that q great
American artist was arriving.
1.-TWO weeks ago Maud Adams APP
peared in The TESTERS assuming a
character that required humannesS
| and poetry OF expression. The part
| calls for the management of an in
tense and lengthy love scene, acted
by woman in the suise OF j
man. The sympathy of the audi
enco must be gained for the charac-
ter, not for the actress playing tbs
character. 'Chicot,' the jester, is a
young man filed with a poetic feel.
ing and subject to the same quick
comedy turns required and given by
Edwin Booth in his performance OF
'Brutus' in The Fall of the Tar
gums
my test of good actress is tht
, ability to play q straight character
so truly that the audience will I'M
consciously murmur to himself, I've
| met just such person. But my test
of an artist is the power to depict q
character of conflicting impulses and
be equally true to each impulse as
il arises
That was the glory of Booth {
Brutus. That is the excellence OF
Maud Adams Chicot. A new Maud
ADAMS has arrived.
do you mean new to you, MI
Frohman?"
Not at all. 1t is the play that
makes the actress, as it is opportll-
nifty that makes the man. We had
the satisfaction of feeling this would
one day begso in Maud Adams case.
, We knew it, in fact, when last sum-
, mer she acted 'L'Aiglon' in the
Greek theatre of the University of
California and aroused five thou
sand people, largely made up of
studants-not the easiet of audi
ences--into the enthusiasm OF
cheers
Yet the wonder is, Mr.. Frohman,
that Miss Adams should turn aside
from the surety of Peter Pan or
Quality Street to the experiment
of The testers. -

C|TY-OWNED. PLANT
FOR CREOsOT|NG
IS PROPOSED
COMMISSIONERS hAARER WILL
PUSH PLAN, AND FIGURES saw
ING ON PAVING WILL AMOUNT
TO $4,000 A YEAR.

Commissioner Haarer, OF the depart
ment of public works, will ask the
council and board OF estimates TO take
another step In municipal ownership
next spring by establishing munich
pal creosoting plant for preparing paw
ing block. The initial expense will
be but $4,000 and he believes that
the saving will mount up to nearly
that figure the FIRST year.
Il have looked over the situation
fully and find that the city can buy
Its long leaf timber and its creosoting
oils just as cheaply as can any one
else." says Haarer. I'VE could run a
creosoting plant as easily as We run
an asphalt plant.
The cost of the municipal asphalt
plant has been only $26, 900. but II has
saved the city about $4,000 this year
alone. We will use at least $4,000
yards Of creosote block per year and
the saving by having our own plant
would be ten to twenty cents per
yard, 1 believe. The entire cost would
be made up In two years at the most.
Another advantage would be In
getting more crcosote block paving,
as Ii would be feasible to lay more OF
It at lower price"
Hearers paving work Is almost
completed for the year. He IL already
working on paving plans for the next
season. Among the things which are
partially worked out IN a scheme for
storing brick and other material early
In the season 90 as to get an early
start on paving work and to avoid de-
lays due to insufficient deliveries.

FRED n. CURTIS.

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.--Charles w.
Morse was sentenced to Is years IN
the federal prison In Atlanta, today
by Judge Hougn. IN the federal court.
Alfred II. Curtis, who was convict
ed with Morse. succeeded In having
his sentence suspended.
They had been found guilty at
o'clock last night Of misapplication Of
the funds OF the National Bank OF
North America, OF which Morse was
vice president and Curtis was presi.
dent, and Of making false entries In
the banks books.
In pronouncing sentence, Judge
Hough said:
After careful consideration, which
was entirely in accord with my views,
together with the position taken BY
the district attorney, feel that the
ends Of justice can best be served
without inficting the prison term on
the defendant, Curtis.
Il do not believe, and the evidences
does not show, that Curtis embarked
on tn illegal transactions with the In
tent to benefit himself. He made hin.
first false step when he became sub.
ject to the master mind Of his employ
er. He knew his acts were wrong. but
he was unable to break himself Of
the master hold His feeble efforts at
reform met with little consideration It
the hands of q supine board OF direo-
tors. He continued the illegal path.
hoping against hope that the end
would come and that the bank would
not suffer.
Met Total Financial Ruin.
He has met total financial ruin'
through the collapse Of the bank.
The evidence shows that his per-
sonal honesty has not been shaken.
and take this opportunity to declare
my confidence In him. think that
Justice will be well served BY sentencr
ing you to five years and suspendtug
the said sentence"
Turning to Morse. Judge Hough
said:
THE evidence showed that you.
Morse. fathered an illegal scheme to
use the bank and the banks funds for
your own speculative purposes.
IF, by an adequate sentence. repeti-
tons of your crime are not preventeds
the public will be entirely at the mercy
of any financial institution wh4 cared
To act az you did.
