CHARMING COMEDY AT
OPERA HOUSE MONDAY
1.-The Mayor of Toxic a
Gorgeous Production.

Beautiful scenery and gorgeous
costumes are features of the new
farcial opera, the best Richard earle
has ever written, The Mayor of
Toxic, that will be seen at Glovers
Opera House next Monday night.
The pink and white parasol of gay
japan never seems to lose its pro-
perty of casting rose lights over a
couple of hours of dance, dialogue
and song Mr. Carries new Japanese
sunshade covers a cOrpulent Toxic
Mayor and his charming daughter; a
disagreeable middle aged Minister of
State who insists upon marrying that
daughter; an explosive Russian with
a bomb; a pretty American girl, and
last, but not least, stranded Ameri-
can opera troupe much the worse for
wear on their way home from Austria

This forlorn band of Kidder's Kon-
solidated Komiques consists of Mar
Gus Orlando Kidder, the eXuberant
but penniless impresario; wardrobe
mistress of uncertain age, with deep
burrows in her face and disposition;
a tenor, a song-book boy a soubrette,
and a bedraggled peanut ballet, Hap
PLY they are all taken for princes and
princesses in disguise by the cheerful
Tokians.
There is a bit of a plot The
Mayors daughter, the Princess OlotO,
falls in love With the tenor of the
Komiques, and of course, he really
isn't a singer at ALL save for the
time being-until his wealthy ia
Their, an American, turns up with
the steam yacht in time to see the
end of the last act.
The story swings along easily while
gorgeously dressed Jap men and
maidens trip about and form pretty
backgrounds for songs and special
ties The music is said to be parti-
cularly bright, tuneful and catchy,
the work of W. F. Peters. Mr.. John

POVERTY NO BAR
TO GET THIS TITLE

LONDON, Feb 3-(Special}-Th
wealthy young Marquis of Angelesly
will leave shortly for an extended
tour Of America, and London soci-
ETY. will be surprised if he returns
without a wife 1t is known that he
is infatuated with American women
and that his trip to the new world is
made for the purpose of affording
opportunity to inspect the pick and
pink of American feminity on their
native soil.
Ever since he reached his majority,
English mammas have been seeking
to interest the Marquis of Anglesesey
in their eligible daughters but with
out avail The young nObleman is
apparently determined upon an Amer
lean wife and the efforts of London
matchmakers have gone for naught
The marquis is one of the wealth
lest of English noblemen, his income
being in the neighborhood of ST.,
100000 a year Money will decidedly
not be his object in selecting a wife,
so the poor but charming girls of the
land across the sea will have an
equal chance with their richer Sis
tiers in winning the heart, title and
fortune of the young marquis.

REDWOOD FOREST
GIVEN TO GOVERNMENT
PrinCeIy Gift of Chicago
PhiIdnthrOpiSt.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb A.
(SpeciaD Woodmen, spare that
tree" This warning, bearing the
great seal and signature of Uncle
Sam and having behind it the menace
of the Big Stick, will be promulgated
tomorrow by Chief Forester Clifford
Pinchot AS result, nearly 800 acres
of giant redwood forest on the SOU
thern slope of Mount Tamalpais, near
San Francisco, will be declared a
national monument.
The forest, one of the few tracts of
giant redwoods now to be found
in a natural state in California, was
donated to the government by Will
liam Kent of Chicago The philan-
thropist paid $4,000 for the tract
some years ago, but the redwood tim
Der alone is now valued at over
1925, 900, so that the gift is a liberal
one. The new national monument"
will be known in the future as Muir
Woods, in honor of John Muir, the
distinguished naturalist The gaint
trees will now be given permanent
protection, under virtue of the law
which provides that objects of scien-
tific interest may be declared national
monuments The government grove
will be a pleasure ground for the peo-
pie of San Francisco, Oakland and
other cities in the vicinity, as we'll
as an object of semitic interest to
visitors from all parts Of the world
So long as the land remains in
private ownership, there is always
danger that the trees will be attacked,
and Mr.. Kent feared this, but as a
national monument they will be safe
Originally this land was part of
the old Spanish grant, Rancho Sau-
salito.' The largest redwoods are
eighteen feet in diameter at the butt,
and will approach three hundred in
height, rising with perfectly straight
and clean stems. AS none. of the big
trees has been cut, their age is, of
course, somewhat problematical, but
it is safe to say that the veterans
have stood from one thousand to fif-
teen hundred years.

WOMEN BLAMED
FOR REGENT PANIC
Angered by Bank S Refusal
of Note.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Feb A.
(SpeciaD The answer of the defense
in the Linderman bankruptcy proceed
ings will be filed here Wednesday,
1t is said by those close to the
case that before the Linderman Incl
dent is closed it will be revealed that
the copper collapse of 1907 which in
volved him in ruin and which began
the general panic and started in the
idle gossip of two women.
One of the women said to be con-
nected with the origin of the trouble
which later involved C. W. Morse and
the Heinzes is the Countess Onaloff,
and the other woman from Montana
whose name has thus far not been
made public. She is said to have been
a friend of the Heinzes in the old
Montana days.
Mr.. Linderman, at the time interest
ed in the copper market with the
Heinzes, met the Russian Countess,
and he and his wife became greatly
interested in her. Little was known
of her antecedents. She is said to be
beautiful and brilliant and was often
a guest at the Linderman- home in
South Bethlehem.
She fascinated all who came in con-
tact with her, not only by her graces,
but by her enthusiasm in her plan
to make untold millions in the cop
per pool, whose collapse caused the
panic
The very first trouble in the finan-
cial sky was the result, it is said, of
an attempt made by the Countess to
realize at Tiffany's on a 900 note
given by Mr.. Linderman for copper
stock. The credit man at Tiffanys
after an investigation, decided not
to accept, the note. The Countess
complained to the Montana woman,
who thought the refsal to accept the
note unWarranted.
The two women complained to other
women at their teas and other social
gatherings. Finally the story of the
refusal of the note got to the ears of
women guests who were wives and
sisters of brokers and financiers not
friendly to the rse-Heinze-Linder
man copper pool, and in that way the
secret got out.

him to a private sanitorium but, ney-

situation is devoid of happiness for

in the common acceptatiOn of the
term.
Can Receive Visitors
Mattewan differs from other insti-
tutions for the criminal insane in
many respects. Clearly defined lines
of distinction are made among the
inmates That part of the asylum set
apart for the class in which Harry
ThaW is ordered to be placed is re-
markable for its appointments. Mo-
Their, wife, brother, or friend may sit
with him for hours, in a handsomely
decorated loggia, with flood of red
tiles. painted walls. and carved cell
ing of southern pine in light oak fin
ish
When not in the loggia with his
friends or relatives, Thaw may walk
out upon the beautiful lawns and
among the gardens, or in bad wealth
er he may stroll beneath covered
courts When not thus occupied he
may sit in the library and read or
play games of cards with others Of
his class.
Among ThaW's associates at Matte
wan will be men who are willing to
devote twelve hours out of the TWEEN
ty-four to different sorts of games.
He will be permitted TO dress to suit
his peculiar within or fancy. He will
enjoy perfect freedom and although
at all times under observation, there
is no guard hanging around to dis
turb ones peace of mind. There may
be keepers strolling here and there
about the asylum, always on the look
out, but these officials are not in uni
form They cannot be distinguished
from visitors, of whom there are
scores who visit the institution daily,
some to see friends and others for the
purpose of sightseeing.

Henceforward, shade or sun,
Our ways no more are one,
But lead afar.
What fortune shall attend
Our steps beyond the bend?
Where lies the journeys end?
Under what star?
Turn for a moment
Here, where the paths divide,
Look back across the wide
Slopes that were ours,
All the rough, stubborn ways
Soften in sunset rays,
Until our lingering gaze
Finds only flowers.

Search new, dim heights that RISE
Rainbound in tears,
May those far hills prove green,
Fruitful the wales between,
With harvest gold to CLEAN,
Through golden years!
