Literary Notes.

Fritzi Sehehis recent marriage To John Fox, IT,, will indubitaeiy be called to mind by most readers oi ha- tharine Metcaf Roofs new novel, ,"Fhe Pomegranate See l. in the May Lip. pincott's. In this story the hero Is an artist, who meets the dainty singer, Griselda Breslau, in q business way and falls in love with her-against his will, be it said. She lis of a mercurial temperament and an artist to the core, which makes him feel that even were she to love him, he could not hold her. As a result the course of their true love runs anything but smooth, but in the end all turns out happily because Griselda proceeds to take mat. ters into her own eapableilittle hands. The theatrical atmosphere is marvel ously good, and the character drawing is masterly. Several interesting spec iaI articles, including an 1mportant posthumous paper by i"Ouida,' and short stories by May Roberts Rinehart, Martens. Elsie Singmaster, and Ella Wheeler Wilcox, will also be found in the May Lippincotts.

The Night Riders.

"The Night Riders, a melodrama in ed at the Bradley theatre on Tuesday evening by the members of the Onawa club and their friends. The amateurs scored one of the biggest dramatic suc- cesses seen in this city in good many wears, and the audience was agreeably surprised at the remarkable profession a. air surrounding the whole produc- tion. The participants were letter per feet, we'll drilled, took their cues with out hitch, put expression into their character parts, and did not appear self conscious, m aking the most of the little story which the piece unfolds. Every character was well taken, but special mention might be made of the more prominent characters. Miss Ce- cile Benoit As Mabel shelby, and Jo- seph Rivard as Jack Willis, the hero- inc and hero, were well done. Miss Jo- sephine Favreau as Susie Sparks put considerable life into her impersona- ton. Belair and Brodeur AS Flimf1am and Bloomingall furnished the comedy and were exceptionally good. Ovilla Guertin made an excellent villain, and McGarry and Benoit as the respective fathers of Edgar Harbeck and Mabel Shelby were well cast, as was Miss Ga. sey as Louise lClairville. The promi- nent characters were ably supported by the entire company, which was as follows:
 Edgar Harbeck Ovila Guertin Cashier of local bank, and secretly in league
 with Night Riders Judge Harbeck. Bernard McGarry His father. powerful mau in politics and

A Line Drawn.

Thirty days in jail.' was the sen tsnce pronounced by Judge A. McC- Mathewson, in New Haven city court, on Tuesday. upon chauffeur for reck- lessIy driving his automobile through city streets, says the Ansonia Sentinel, thus giving evidence that there are teeth in our present automobile law.
 In passing judgment the Judge IS quoted ss having said: This court has always maintained that up to a speed of D miles an hour the State must prove il is dangerous, but above that speed the burden of proof shifts 10 the defence, and 1t must show that travel ing al that speed is not dangerous To my mind it is evident that the accused was driving at dangerous rate of speed.
