Lewis for his extremely funny and Imaginable DOT trayal of the role of the Unknown in Little Johnny Jones' "The Yankee Prince" has, up to the present time, only been presented in most of the larger cities, including Philadelphia, New York and Chicago. and every where has been received with unquali- fled approval. Its production here will be exactly the same in every detail as regards costuning, scenery, elec- trical effects and the company is iden- tical with that which have supported Geo. M. Conan.
 One of the novelty engagements of the current season will be that of Mimi Aguglia and her Sicilian players in ''Zaza" next Tuesday evening. She is said to be endowed with an as- founding amount of inherent force and vitality, coupled with a complete mas tery of the various phases of dramatic art. She is young in years.
 
 Next Wednesday evening, Antonio Maiori, the well known and popular Italian actor, will with his own com pany present Shakespeare's greatest tragedy, ''Othello." There will no doubt be many English speaking peo- rle in the theatre Wednesday evening to see "Othello" played in the Ital- ian.

DEMOCRATS

 IN THE HOUSE
Session Was Prolonged Till Three This Morning Sundry Civil Bill Under
 Consideration.
Especial from United Prsssl

topeclal rom United PrsSS.1
 Washington, Feb. 26.-A. fiilibuSter by the Democrats kept the House of Representatives in continuous session TOT l7 hours yesterday and this morn ing. Recess was finally taken at 3:30 A. M, until 11o'clock. Yesterday the House met at 10 o'clock.
 The Sundry Civil Appropriation bill was under consideration and after mid night the Democrats began to offer all sorts of amendments. These brought out a lecture from Chairman Tawney for their '1evity.'' One was for an appropriation to "whitewash" the White House. Tn offering it Repre- sentative Williams of Mississippi said:
 When we are providing money in favor of this administration cleaning up, I am not in favor of parsimony.''
 After a speech by Gaines, (Tennes- see), on Andrew Jackson, Representa- tive Byrd, Mississippi, denounced the attitude of the American government on the Japanese question as the most humiliating exhibition of obsequious senility of any party ever in power"
 The ilibuster really came to an end shortly after one o'clock but Chair man Tawney announced as a punish ment that the House would be kept in until after 3 o'clock. For good meas ure he made it 3:30.
 Mech progress was made with the bill but it was hoped to conclude its consideration to-day.

The Midget Snakes.

'I see by your paper" says a core spondent, that you want to find man who can tell snake story with the sound of originality to it. Here it is: Nearly forty years ago in the woods of Indiana I captured three snakes, each less than three and one-fourth inches in length, a combined length of less than ten inches, little longer and a little larger in the middle than an old fashioned wool alarming needle. AL though these snakes were so small they would crawl around with their heads up and dart out their tongues like larger snakes, I put these reptiles in an eight ounce bottle, and they had plenty of room to crawl around on the bottom of it without crowding. These were not the kind of snakes generally seen in bottles, but genuine snakes, Among those who saw them was a minister of the gospel, and he had not been taking anything to make him see snakes either."-Emporia Gazette.

KEPT WOMAN A PRISONER FOR THREE
 MONTHS IN HOUSE
Special from United Press )

(SD6c1dl IrOIIl OuAtO0 E CS0.(
 Philadelphia, Feb. 26.-Confned in house for three months, the prisoner of a negro, and forced to submit to shock ing indecencies and beaten when she protested, Lillie Washburn, "A years old, was to-day rescued from slavery by the authorities. Her abductor. AL fred Brown, was sentenced to a year in the penitentiary and she has been sent back to her home in Reading by the local authorities.
 At the trial in court to-day the Washburn woman said that, while hunting for work in Trenton she was drugged and when she recovered con- sciousness she was in negro resort on Spring street, this city. Several times she tried to escape but her cloth ing had been taken from her and each time she was caught before she could reach the street and terribly beaten. Yesterday she managed to throw a note from a window and it was picked LID by Charles Bowman who turned it over to the police. They raided the house taking the woman and Brown to the station house.
 To-day on her evidence he was con- victed of abduction and sent to House of Correction for a year.

Why We Are All Mimic..

eff we did not cough in church, the human race would not exist" And the professor, twiddling piece of chalk in his hand, regarded the sophomores with a quizZical smile.
 What I mean," he continued, "is that the cause of coughing is the cause of our survival That cause is mim- icry. Mimicry is better life preserver than Heetness or strength. For by mimicry we manage not to attract at- tention, and in prehistoric times they who attracted attention were hunted down by the tribe and roasted for din- ner or hunted down by the saber tooth tiger and taken raw.
 Since those dark days mimicry has been instinctive with us. Mimicry is what causes us to follow the fashions. It causes us, when in England, to say 'cawn't and 1awf.' If your friend yawns, you yawn-that's mimicry. If he laughs, you laugh-mimicry again. If he snufles, you snufle-mimicry. And if he coughs in church, straight way you and all the rest of the con- gregation cough, the reason being the same one which saved our forefathers from extermination." York Press.

Famous Architects Trick.

When Sir Christopher Wren was building the town hall of Windsor, a fidgety member of the corporation, so the story goes. insisted that the roof required further support and desired the architect to add more pillars. In vain did Sir Christopher assure him that the danger was imaginary. He knew better. The alarm spread, and the great architect was worried into adding the desired columns.
 Years passed, and in later times, when architect and patrons were dead, cleaning operations in the roof re- vealed the fact that the supposed addi- tional supports did not touch the roof by two inches, though this was not per ceptible to the gaZers below.
 By this ingenious expedient did Wren pacify his critics, while vindicating his own architectural skill to future gener- ations.
