ing and dancing, besides a lot OF
specially features that keep things
moving every minute during the enter
tainment. Critics have described the
play as being an unbroken chain of
joyous mirth."
HBuster Brown is not new play,
one that the theatregoing public must
experiment with. It has been tried
out and has pleased the public fancy.
The costuming AID stage effects are
said to be up to any ever seen in this
section of the country, having been
made especially for this tour. The
cast is composed of we'll known fun
makers who never lose an opportunity
to create a laugh. No play en- tour
has been more enthusiastically re-
ceived, nor elected more uustinted
praise. The principals have good
voices and know how to use them,
while the girls are put through
marches and dances like clockwork.
In addition, there are speciaities that
give a touch of the vaudeville, so that
variety is promised those who do not
care to pay too strict attention to a
play with plot. Allin all an excel

/ "a Merry Now YORK M aid, TAR
oical comedy of unusual merit, was the
offering at the Nixon last evening and
from the number of encores called for
by an appreciatiVe audience certainly
scored an unequaled success. The
plot of the comedy hinges on the mat
rimonial adventures of DunraVen
Brown, who, in his quest for a rich
heiress, meets with many mishaps
which are extremely funny. Robert
Garne1la. who had the leading part,
was very clever and ELECTED unstinted
applause for his many comicalities.
Lew Ortiz, as the happy-go-l lucky
tramp, in his endeavors to aid Dun
raven Brown in his schemes, scored q
big success, displaying great ability
as character actor of no mean cali
bre. Miss Elsie Edna Garnella, the
cute little serving maid, who is always
looking for trouble, was most pleas
ing in her character of soubrette, and
her singing and dancing elected many
curtain calls. Miss May Shirk, as
the daughter o. the rich Mr.. Winters,
portrayed the character of the demure
and intellectual young lady in pol
ished manner, and should Re seen in
dramas on the order of "Scraps OF
Paper, etc., which would give more
scope for her abilities. The singing
and dancing speciality of Luckie and
Yost was out of the ordinary and re
ceived a hearty encore Special men
tion should be made Of the premiere
toe dancing of Miss Nettie Luckie.
The sweet voiced tenor of the Sierras,
Frank NJ. Forrest, rendered the lead
ing musical numbers in most meri
torious manner, and the rest of the
company were thoroughly rehearsed
in their various parts. Many express
sions of regret we're heard on the con-
clusion of the performance at the
limited stay in Washington, and upon
their return visit in April the manage
ment may look for packed houses.

SWALLOWS PINS AND
EXPIRES FROM FEAR
Post.Mortem. However. Shows No
Trace Of Them-Mrs. Tiiton
Swallowed Pins While Eating.

ANN ARBoR. May 5.-Some one
once remarked that pins have saved
great many persons lives by not
having swallowed them. but In the
case OF Mrs, j. A. Tilton, OF Norwalk.
o., death resulted not from the two
pins she had swallowed. but from pure
fear OF result
II is peculiar instance OF the
dominance OF mind over matter. as
demonstrated In the case OF Mrs. Til.
ton. who for some weeks was a pa
titent In an Ann Arbor hospital. and
died from breeding over the fact that
she had swallowed two pins. of which
a post-mortem showed no presence.
Mds. Tilton was woman about 65
years OF age. and well known in her
home city
AS long ago as last fall. she was
sitting on the hack porch az AeE- Aeaae
engaged in sewing. Woman fashion
she held some pins I'm her mouth.
The porch looked out on peach
orchard. and as she sewed. with the
pins In her mouth. she noticed lus
which she secured. munching II, and
swallowing pins and all.
After peach and pins were beyond
recall, she realized what had happened
and was in hysterical fear over pos
sible results. The fear increased with
the days. and the woman complained
OF a growth In her stomach. Although
physician had been called and pro
nounced the occurrence as nothing
serious. Mrs. Tilton still insisted that
the pins had lodged in her stomach
and she knew they would kill her.
She was brought TO Ann Arbor
where an examination was made. and
II is said the fears OF the woman were
confirmed and the pins located as she
had described. But she would not
undergo an operation. and an invalid
condition OF months. brought about by
