LONDON, June S.-Much public SYM
pathy Is being expressed here with a
young business woman named Wilson
who has had the misfortune of losing
both her arms in attempting to save a
child from being crushed under an cleo
trio car. At her age, which is just over
twenty, the girl finds herself in a more
difficult position than the celebrated Prof.
Lohmeyer of konigsberg University, who
was born without arms and has Just died
at the age of seventy-seven.
The son of poor parents, Lohmeyer
made up in brain power for what he
lacked in physical equipment. His books
on the history of Prussia and Branden-
burg are recognized standard works. The
manuscripts were all written with the
pen held between his teeth or between
his toes.

About Plays
and Players
Fifty Miles From Boston.

The persistent demands of house
managers for George M. Cohan's new
play, 80 Miles From Boston," at last
decided the firm of Conan and Harris
to send it on the road again. 1t will
be seen at the Auditorium March 9th
with Edna Wallace Hopper in the
stellar role, supported by the original
New York cast which includes Jos M.
Sparks, Susanna Leonard Westford,
sister of Miss Lillian Russell, w.
Douglas Stevenson, Thos. Emery,
Chas. Willard, Walter P. Richardson,
Russell Pincus, ALT Helton, Percy Helt-
on, Ella Sothern Mae Helton, Kathryn
R. Perry, Lester Templeton and Stan
ley G. Fields. The chorus is said to
be pretty we'll trained and animated.
Fifty Miles From Boston" is said
to be written in Mr.. Cohans funniest
vein and is huge comical satire on
the bigness of small things in a rural
community.
Miss Hopper's role is that of the
shy village postmistress who is in love
with the captain of the Harvard Base
ball Club. This role is essayed by w.
Douglass Stevenson, who is said to be
well suited to this "rah-rah" character.
For the past two seasons Mr.. Steven
son has been with 1.-THE Merry Wild
owl. M. Stevenson was secured by
Cohan and Harris to play opposite
Miss Hopper. Thos Emory, who ap-
pears as "Jed Woods, the postmis-
tress' bad brother, is one of the most
finished players on the stage-his
long training in the Froham forces
bringing out all his cleverness and he
is said to appear to excellent adyant-
age in this New England role.
Susanna Leonard Westford has the
reputation of being able to disguise
her good looks entirely and to appear
as typical vinegary gossip. The
rest of the cast are all equally as we'll
known as these players just mention
ed. The story of the play hinges up
on village affairs, personal, pertinent
and impairment of a small town near
Boston and is said to be full to the
brim with good clean fun and laugh
able situations. Mr.. Conan has COM
posed some good music for $50 Miles
From Boston," some of the song hits
being "Aint it Awful" "Harrigan,"
waltz With Me-" Boys Who Fight
the Flames" Jack and Jilr' and "My

NOW Is PROPER time
TO'S1ART TO CLEAN UP.
An Appeal to the Citizens of Hatties.
burg For Better Sanitation.

With the coming of each spring we
have the usual public clamor to "clean
up" This clamor is seldom success
full by reason Of the delayed agitation.
We therefore mention it early in order
to get good start and earnestly urge
now that they cooperate with the city
sanitary department in cleaning up"
Get the back alleys cleaned out. Get
the back yards cleaned out. Go
throughout the length and breadth of
the city and burn up the trash piles,
the brush piles, the general debris
piles. Start in at one end of the city
and go straight through to the other.
Go to work in the various small
creek bottoms. Drag out the piles of
filth and waste that have accumulated
there during the past six months.
Haul the same off, or burn it il prac-
tical, right where it is. Clean the
back alleys and then provide the sani-
tary department with an extra mount
ed officer or two to patrol every sec.
ton of the city at least twice a week
and see that property owners do not
dump new trash into the alleyways or
pile it up in their own back yards.
If this policy of cleaning up" is
applied rigidly and with a flying start
right now, Hattiesburg will have no
occasion for the usual clamor during

"A bad case of catarrh was cured for

If you have catarrh, bestir yourself,
and drive it out of your system. Kill

you use Hyomei pronounced High-o-
