First Appearance Here

One often hears the remark: "You
must 60 to New York or Chicago to see
the original productions or else you hear
quite different thing under the same
name" But such is not the case with
and does not apply to The District
Leader. which will make its first appear
ance here at the Auditorium on next
Tuesday night.
The chorus is not only large enough to
fill any stage but the voices are the sort
that take an opera score and make the
very best Of all that is in it. THE Dis
trict Leader" moves with swing and a
dash and when it is all over you leave
the theatre and expect to find the lights
of Herald square blazing in front and all
around you, and everyone hurrying down
Broadway for an after-theatre supper.
The District Leader" is a New York
production produced at Wallack's theatre
and this production in its entirety is what
is promised local theatre goers. Every
costume. every piece Of scenery. every
electrical effect and every property used
in Wallack's win be used here when this
attraction makes its appearance at the
Auditorium on next Tuesday evening.

Would Mend the Manners.

Mrs. Miriam N. Loomis, at meet
ing Of the Home Economics confer
ence at Chantauqua, said that girls in
some Of the leading colleges throw
bread and cake at one another at the
table and some Of the hotels require a
fee before they will serve students be-
cause OF bad manners. She thought
the table should be the center Of the
social life OF the school, as it is in the
home. Why should it be necessary for
young men and women to apologize
for college manners?

A STOLEN DIAMOND
Brooklyn Police Gave Him an
Emetic and Hope to Re-
cover the Gem.

II the emetic that the Brooklyn police
to-day administered TO a confessed sneak
thief works as expected they expect the
prisoner, who gave the fictitious name
Of Joseph Philips, to cough up $50

young woman goodby.
He had not missed the door before a
$50 sinner was missed. The sales girl
screamed her loudest, and tto men EN-
ployed in the Shop ran to her side.
The sneak thief jumped down the
stairs four steps at time, and leaped
door. cry of stop thief was raised
and Traffic Policeman Edward Larkin,
who has few medals for sprinting, got
busy.
The trolley was nearing Borough Hall
when Larkin got hold OF Phll!pps's col
lar. Women passengers screamed.
Am great excitement passerby re-
marked that Bird Coler and Cmoptroller
Metz must have accidentally met on the
street car.
When the prisoner reached the Adams
street station ne told the police that II
was all mistake; that he did not steal
a ring, and was perfectly willing 10
stand search. A careful overhaul!ng Of
his clothes proved nothing, but the
third degree" was tried
The man finally admitted that in an
effort to make a clean getaway he had
swallowed the diamond ring From the
panied expression he wore the police
men decided it had stuck in his throat,
and called on a physician TO lift the
ring.
Philips admitted having served two
State prison sentences. He was locked
in a cell with a bluecuat guard who
has orders to recover the stolen ring.

STIRLING DIVORCE
IN SCOTCH COURT
HITS NOTABlES
Cross Suit by Husband to Ac-
ton Brought by Former So
ciety Girl Of Newark.

EDINBURGH, Jan, l9,-The cross
petitions for divorce between Clara
Elizabeth Stirling, who was formerly a
Miss Taylor, OF Newark n. j., and
John Alexander Stirling. laird of Kip
pendaire, Perthshire, came UP for
hearing to-day In the court OF sessions
before Lord Guthrie Half dozen
noted lawyers represented various per-
sons interested, including Lord North
land and Mrs. Mabel Louise Atherton,
the divorced wife OF Col. Thomas Ath-
erton, who has been cited as co.
respondent in the case
The petition of the wife was heard
first She declared her marriage had
been most happy, until in the summer
of 1905 Mrs. Atherton came upon the
scene, when everything went to
pieces"
An echo Of this case was heard in
London last month. Mrs. Taylor, Mrs,
Strings mother. according to the
story related in court, gained entrance
to Mrs. Athertons residence and ac-
cused her of libelling Mrs. Stirling.
She then, it was charged, sprang at
Mrs. Atherton, seized her by the throat
and attempted to throttle her. The po-
lice were called in and separated the
two women. In court they were bound
over to keep the peace.
In the course of the cross-eXamina-
ton counsel for Mir. Stirling suggested
that Lord Northland was the cause OF
the trouble. This Mrs Stirling denied,
but subsequently she admitted that she
had told her husband last July that she
loved Lord Northland. The hearing was
then adjourned.
