Secret Dies With Him.

HAGERSTOWN, Md, August 3.-David
Gutschall aged nearly ninety years, Is
dead at the home of his son-in-law, in
the mountains at the Corner, south of
Mereersburg. He had been in i'll health
for several years. GutSchall is the man
who, ii is reported. knew something OF
the strange disappearance of the Straley
girl in the mountains of that vicinity
forty years ago. The officers were in
formed that the aged man had made a
confession some time before he died. An
investigation was made. but no definite
information concerning the alleged con-
fession was obtained. If Gutschall knew
how the girl came to her death, the
secret died with him.

New York, Feb. 26.-There are TWEEN
Tyrone characters in the two new plays
that 1 have seen within a week, and
only five are women. That is about the
usual ratio of the sexes in stage fiction
aside from shows as girls. Neverthe-
less, the herOines usually dominate the
heroes, and these compositions provide
star roles in which Grace George and
Carlotta Nilsson conquer husbands. An
old saying tells Us that man is the
puf\ling animal" but tie theatrical
showing lately is that woman, when
overtaken by him, usually turns around
and fights him till he yields TO her.
