The men had gotten about 100 yards

of the strong wind blowing, caught
the sails, and the boat went over.

Hasn't Done All Possible
to Satisfy the Married Edi-
tors Desire.

The Jacksonville Metropolis says:
In view of the persistent manner in
which the newspapers Of Florida have
recently urged General Albert w. Gil
christ, nominee for governor, to for
swear the life of single cussedness
and take unto himself wife before
he succeeds Governor BrOward as oc-
cupant Of the spacious executive man
sion at Tallahassee, a Metropolis re-
preventative last night asked the gen
ial nominee to give some dehnlte
statement on the important and all
absorbing topic.
The matter is one of interest to
all the people of Florida, and particu-
larly to ladies who are dwelling in
lonely state similar TO that which
you occupy, and you should answer
definitely" suggested the reporter
Unless you become benedict before
assuming the office of chief executive,
understand that Chief Justice Whit
field will be enjoined from administer
ing the oath Of Office. Governor Brow
ard has a large family, In view OF
which it would be a downright shame
for one lonely masculine cracker TO
occupy that big house at Tallahassee
by himself. Are you going to marry
OF not?
He May "Reform."
You talk as If ii was nv fault that
am a bachelor" replied General Gil
christ, and as II l had heel guilty
of committing a heinous crime by not
entering the matrimonial state How
do you know that / haven't done
everything in my power TO change my
condition in this regard2 It isn't en-
tirely my fault that 1 am not married,
and | may yet redeem myself in the
eyes of the people of Florida In view
of the bald condition of your head,
young man, l should think It was time
you were marrying yourself instead
of asking me questions OF such
character"
Whether General Gilchrist be mar
ried or single when he becomes gov
ernor, however, is of but little i'm
| portance, except for this reason: He
| has always been so thoroughly devot-
ed to his aged mother that it seems
pity that some Florida girl should

The second act OF The Witching
Hour" the biggest dramatic success Of
the season, now playing at the Haekett
Theater. New York. was constructed
around a poem Of Bret Harte's entitled
a Newport Romance" The poem was
published in 1872. consisting of nineteen
stanzss, the first seven of which tell the
legend Of haunted house that formerly
stood near the town OF Newport, R. I.
The last two Of these seven stanzas are
used by Mr. Thomas IN one Of the finest
bits Of dramatic sentiment ever penned
by a native writer The first seven stan
zas Of this poem are as follows:
They sag she died Of broken heart

PLAYS AND PLAYFOLK.

Mr.. Walter Damrosch, conductor of the
New York Symphony Orchestra, enjoys
the personal friendship of many of the
greatest composers. It was Liszt himself
who introduced Mr.. Damrosch TO Rich
ard Wagner when "Parsifal" was first
produced at Baireuth. Won Buelow
treated the young composer like a son
after the death of his distinguished ia
Their. Leopold Damrosch.
An influencing factor with Charles
Frohmsn is engaging CarIotta Nilsson for
the role of Diana" in his American pro-
ductlon Of "Diana of the Dobson's s." was
the admiration Lena Ashwen has for Miss
Nillson. Miss AshweI is now playing
Diana" in London. She believes Miss
NiIlson another Diana" from seeing her
performance in The Three OF Us"
when Miss AshweH herself was touring
America.
The sad death of Philip Jacques Is still
talked about on the Rialto. Some of his
old friends can hardly believe it. Mr..
Jacques built up a large number Of good
associates during his connection Y tth the
Dramatic Mirror. He went on e r with
Mrs, Fiske, and subsequently he became
her business manager. This yea: e took
out a company TO play Leah X selma.
His death was so sudden that few we're
able to pay their last respects at the
funeral services, which were held in East
Orange,
Among the novelties introduced by F.
Ziegfeld. jr., in his big success. THE Soul
Kiss. now being presented at the New
York Theater, is a pack of trained fox
hounds in full cry. They appear in the
elaborate scene called THE Meadowbrook
Hunt" and dash across the stage over
rocks and stream, ahead of the hunting
party This is the scene IN which Mile
Genee does her famous hunting dance
These dogs We're secured from the nick of
numerous kennels and represent a cost of
$1,000.
The week just closed at the Belasco
Theater, where was presented Miss Ruth
Halford's congress of American beauties
in The Prince OF Parcheesi," was the
most satisfactory, both artistically and
financially ever produced by amateur
talent in this city. Great credit is due
Mr.. Percy Leech for the admirable man
ner with which the weeks presentations
were handled. After week with Miss
Halford in charge of the front of the
house. Manager Taylor thinks that the
feminine manager might not be a bad
innovation for adoption by many Of the
travelling comblna items.
There are few plays which can stand
the strain of constant appearance before
a critical public season after season and
still draw crowded houses wherever seen.
Such a play is sis Hopkins" which
will be seen here shortly with Miss Rose
Melville in the title role. Miss Melville
created the character Of Sis Hopkins
some years ago. and has by reason Of
her exquisite portrayal of the quaint
little country girl of Posey County, Ind,
taken rank as the foremost character
actress the American stage has produced
in years. Miss MelYille's company this
season is far superior to any she has ever
had supporting her
