 That brilliant star, Miss Edna Wallace Hopper, comes to the Jefferson theatre on March in an engagement at the head of the original all-star cast in George M Cohan's meteoric musical comedy sue cess '50 Miles From Boston," under the management of Conan & Harris. This play is said to be most gorgeously cast and equipped and to cost $6000 weekly, thus making it the most expensive mu- sical organization in the country outside of grand opera. The large list of high salaried artists include Joseph M. Sparks, Susanne Leonard Westford, sister of Miss Lillian Russell, w. Douglas Stevenson. Thomas Emory, Charles Willard Walter P. Richardson, Russell Pincus, Ali Hel ton, Percy Helton, Ella Sothern, Mae Helton, Kathryn R. Perry, Lester Tenn pleton and Stanley 0. Fields.
 No comedy of recent years has equaled Richard Brinsley Sheridan's merry mas terpiece, "The Rivals" In it the pun gency of the witty lines have always scored and the characters have been made famous by and have made famous many of the foremost actors the English speaking stage.

The Rays.

In King Casey" the big musical farce which opens at the Bijou Monday night for a weeks engagement, Johnny Ray appears as king, not one of any pre- tentious sovereignty but of the mythical Island of Lalla Pa Zaza. Ray is real, fine old Irish King, whose principal ob- ject seems to be the making of fun for his subjects, and in this he beautifully succeeds as is borne out by the record breaking business this show has enjoyed on it's trip into the south.
 Though the piece is in it's second sea son it has been entirely transformed by new comedy lines. songs and situations. In the first act Johnny Ray appears as fireman of the Waldorf Astoria hotel, who Is mistaken for Chief Casey of the fire department and sumptuously feasted This feast gives opportunity for some grotesque Rayisms in the handling of fork and spoon Casey is busted from this position, but falls into the soft spot of being mistaken for the King of the Island of Lalla Pa Zaza. The various compli- cations are further intensified by the fact that throughout an imposter, look ing for an easy berth, attempts to im- personate Casey" the impersonator, making three characters of the same makeup on the stage at once.
 Of course Ray is the Casey role he has assumed for many seasons. in dif-

Max Fisman In "The Substitute"

Max Figman Tn ," he SubStItute."
 Manager R. S. Douglas of the Jefferson theatre announces only one attraction at that playhouse this week-afternoon and night-but it comes heralded as one of the best of the season and that caused some delight to theatregoers. The offer ing will be Max Figman, who is de- clared to be John Cort's most popular and prosperous star in his new play, ''The Substitute" It will be MT. Fig mans annual visit and the new comedy comes from the pens of Beulah M. Dix and Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland, au- thors of that quaint New York success .The Road to Yesterday There is an adage that lightning never strikes in the same place twice but MT. Figman has disproved it and followed one success immediately with another. He made a lot of friends and a big reputation with '.The Man on the Box and nobody be- neved that he could duplicate it imme- diately, but according to all accounts r'The Substituta though wholly diff ferent in theme and treatment, is even a greater success, both from the artistic and financial standpoints. It is claimed that this play differs entirely from any that has been written in late years and that it affords Max Ffgman an oppor- tunity to display his talents as a come dian, but also as an actor of serious mo- ment.
 Report says 1t is more than equal to the occasion. The title of the play is derived from the fact that Max Figman, who takes the part of an up-to-date young New York lawyer, to keep his word with his prospective brother-in-laws young theologian who has suddenly been over come by the heat, promises that he will get substitute for him to fill the pulpit of a little Connecticut church. The time is so short that the lawyer is compelled to go himself and impersonate one. It doesn't need any great imagination to foresee the comedy complications that arise from this situation and MT Figman makes the most of it. Of course there is A romance The mock minister falls in love with the pretty daughter of the minister whose pulpit he temporarily fills and he discovers incidentally that an ann bilious young district attorney has trumped up a charge against the aged minister for alleged embezzlement of charity funds. The lawyer comes to the front to defend the father of the girl whom he loves and does so with oold- ness, ceverness and dispatch. In doing so, however, he prejudices himself with the pure-mnded girl by exposing the fact that in his earlier life he married a chorus girl who divorced him. All ends happily however to the satisfaction Of the audience.

 Dill and Ward are a team of fancy dancers, the woman wearing a spangled dress of shining material, which has earned for her the sobriquet of '"The Girl with the Diamond Dress" The pair do some singing, but their singing is only incidental. It is only to give them time to recover their breath to continue their magnificent dancing.

The eayety.

There is no more popular form of amusement than a breezy, airy combina- tion known as an extravaganza com pany and there is no more popular coni- pany presenting this style of entertain ment than Rice and Barton's big gaiety extravaganza company which manager McArdle offers at the Gayety theatre this week, beginning with Mondays matinee. There are no managers better acquainted with the wants and tastes of the amuse- ment loving public than Messrs. Rice and Barton. Their long experience in minstrelsy, comedy and farce makes them always certain of their ground and they are up to the calendar in all of their pre- sentations which accounts for their won derful success.
 This season the fun will begin with brand new satire called Brown Among the Daisies The lines and situations are filled with comicalities, and the &C., tion is rapid and hustling, introducing gay husbands, jealous wives and other com edy characters while there is plenty of opportunity for an unusually pretty and talented chorus to display their ability. Mir Charles Barton, the king pin of ex- travaganza comedians, heads the bill. MT. Barton's humor is irresistible and he is without a peer in this style of producing laughter. Vaudeville specialties of a high order are introduced in an excep- tionally strong olio headed by Eckhoff and Gordon whose fame as musical laugh makers is world wide. Murphy and Ma gee are justly styled the emporers of Irish wit. The Iealys do an exceedingly amusing sketch Pierce and Maize are travesty artists with wonderful costume changes Kelly and Barlette are wonder fully skilled acrobats second to no act now before the public. Camille Falardaux is a French Chauteusse. These, together with troupe of 12 French dancing girls direct from the Follies Bergere in Paris comprise an attraction of unusual merit

The Ownership OF a Letter

Many persons are under the impress
sion that a letter once mailed is no
longer the property of the sender, but
belongs to the person TO whom it is adj
dressed. This is an error Under the
postal regulations of the United States
and the rulings of the highest courts in
the land, letter does not belong to the
addressee until it is delivered to him.
The writer has right to reclaim and
regain possession of it, provided he can
prove to the satisfaction of the post
master ut the Office from which it was
sent, that he was the writer of it,
Even after tho letter has arrived at
the Office which is its destination, and
before it has been delivered to the adj
dressee, may be recalled by the writer
by telegraph through the mailing Office.
The regulations of the Postoffice De.
partment require, of course, that utmost
care shall be taken by the postmaster Mt
| the Office of mailing to ascertain that
the person who desires to withdraw the
,, letter is really the one who is entitled to
do so, and the postmaster is responsible
! for his error if he delivers the letter to
an imposter or to an unauthorized per-
| son.
The vital principal in our political
system lies at ihe bottom of this matter
In this country the State is the servant
or agent of the citizen, not his master
1t remains merely his agent throughout
tho transmission of II letter. The State
may prescribe regulations under which
its servants may carry IL message for
the citizen; but it cannot shirk its re.
sponsibility to him.

"Wednesday was a busy day at the

Bell boys were kept on the eternal

athons between the register and the

They came in from all parts of the

appearance of the crowd, Ohio hotel
men are prosperous and very, very

They sat around in the lobbies and

dents message to the latest patterns
in carpet sweepers and bug-extermina-
tors. Some of the old boys from down

hung about their face. Others had only
