Houng America. To say that the play
TOOK well would be superfluous. a
nome production is certain to be a
money maker. The audience was COM
posed largely of high school students
and their friends and relatives to tbe
fourth generation. Every participant
IN the play was we'll known in the au-
uence and received generous
amount of applause. It was the most
enthusiastic audience of the season
clearly outpassing even that of Will
IlaInS x walker. Even the strains of
Yankee Doodle were encored. while
the villain of the play received more
applause than the hero, and even in
doing his greatest dirt the villain
1ailed to receive a single hiss
But 1t was good presentation inst
the same. and the high school students
are entitled to lots of credit They
played their PARTS well. remembered
their lines better. than usual and gear
ed their voices over the footlfehts
Much credit must be given to Miss

AS an instance of wide-a-wake, I'M
alleged entertainment the June Lip
pincott's deserves a place in the
front row. This number opens, as
always, with a COMPREHENSIVE
novel, followed by strong showing.of
fight, fact and fun" The novel is
THE Plague of Heart" by Helen
Milecete, a young Canadian writer
who is rapidly making a name for
herself. She has her plot completely
out in her own mind and
then allows the reader to have it
without that circumlocution in
which many aspiring authors become
to the great detriment of
their work.

ONE MILE IN LENGTH.
Remarkable Rhododendron
Garden in Central Park
In New York.

New York, June ga mile-long
bed of rhodedendrons in Central
Park, New York's most beautiful
breathing spot, is the recent gift of
Mrs. Russell Sage to the people of
the city. 1t is estimated that the
gift, which will be known as the
Sage plantation, will, by the time it
is finished, represent an outlay on
the part of Mrs. Sage of at least
$4,000.
Mrs. Sage drives in the park a
great deal, and recently visited Park
Commissioner Smith and offered to
install the Towering shrubs in order
to brighten up a stretch along the
main east drive, of which she is par
ticularly fond. The greater part of
the thousands of plants which will
go to make up the bed are of Amer
lean growth, but more than 5000 of
them We're imported from Belgium.
Commissioner Smith says that the
plantation will be. when completed,
the finest of its kind in the world.

OLIVER BELMONT DIES
AFTER SHORT ILLNESS.
Sinking Spell Followed an Operation For
Appendicitis, and the End Came
Wednesday Morning.

Mrs. William Burden, died several
years ago.
Mr.. Belmont's first marriage was
with Mrs. Alva E. Smith Vanderbilt,
who prior to her divorce, was the
wife of w. X. Vanderbilt. Mrs.
Belmont and her two sons, W. X.
Vanderbilt, Jr., and Harold Wander
bilt, were constantly at Mr.. Bel
mont's side from the moment his
illness took a critical turn, Mrs.
Belmont's daughter, Consuelo, the
Duchess of Marlborough, was kept
constantly advised of Mr.. Belmont's
condition.
The Belmont country place, Brook
halt villa, near Hampstead, and in
close vicinity to the Meadowbrook
Hunt Clubs magnificent grounds,
was noted for the hospitality.
Mr.. Belmont had not been actively
engaged in business for some years.
He had always been very popular
among a wide circle of friends, and
held prominent position in club
and social life here and in London
and Paris. He was graduated from
Annapolis Naval Academy in 1876,
and served out his two years cruise
following graduation. In 1878 he
resigned from the service to engage
in business with his father and
brothers.
After retiring from his father
old banking firm, Mr.. Belmont de-
voted his attention for a time to pol
itics. He was a Democrat, and in
1900 was chosen as a delegate from
New York to the Democratic Ma
tional convention. The same year
he was elected to Congress from the
Thirteenth New York district.

reached. On Thursday, however, it
became apparent that the only hope
for his recovery lay in an operation.
He rallied nicely after the operation
and it was believed that he would
make a good recovery. Late that

was little hope that he would sur

Oliver H. P. Belmont was the son
of the late August Belmont. The

Mrs. George Rives. His only child
