GOVERNOR Fort last week rendered to
ex-senator Henry ]. Trick, of this county,
the vacant seat on the bench of the Court
of Errors and Appeals. After giving the
matter due consideration Mr.. Trick de-
clined the offer, while acknowledging the
great honor conferred upon him. He is,
at present, member of the State Board
of Equalization of Taxation, and his seat
in that body 10 good for three years,
with salary Of $500 per year, while
the seat on the Court bench will pay only
about 81, 900, and is liable to be wiped out
within six months, If the constitutional
amendments are adopted by the people.
But the matter of salary did not receive
much consideration at the hands of Mr..
Trick. He says he was placed upon the
Board of Taxation at the request of the
agricultural community and he feels that it
is his duty to remain and protect the inter-
ests of that class. He feels very much
honored to think that the Governor has
sufficient confidence in his integrity and
ability to offer him the position, which is
the second place his name has been con-
nscted with within the past year. Cover
nor Fort having considered him for the
Office of State Supervisor of Roads.

The First pantomims.


John Rich has the credit of produc-
ing the first pantomime ever seen in
England. This was performed on
Dec. 20, 1717, at the theater In Lin
coins Inn Fields. Rich had found him
self unable to compete with the legiti-
mate drama at Drury Lane, so he be-
thought himself of the comic Mosques
occasionally performed In London and
combined with their scenic and me-
chanical effects the maneuvers of the
pantomime ballet. The result was
Harlequin Executed" which the ad-
vertisement of that day described as
"a new italian mimic scene. between
a scaramouch, harlequin, a country
farmer, his wife and Others" There
was all the business with which we
were familiar from childhood, huts
turned into palaces, shops into gar
dens, houses into trees. OF course the
Earnest student of the drama" pro-
tested against this innovation. but
Harlequin, Columbine & Co. have
maintained their hold on public favor
until the present year Of grace.

Snowshoes need very little care. You
don't have to wipe them dry with
channels, fo' instance, the prescribed
treatment for skates. When taking
them of merely tap them against the

heels outside Never attempt to dry
them before fire. When they are put
away for the summer select a dry
place where there will be no danger of

Medieval London, besides being a
"city of taverns," was famous for its
cookshops, such as the place on the
river bank described by Fitzstephen in
the thirteenth century: "There every
day We may call for any dish of meat,
roast, fried or sodden, fish both small
and great, vanison and fowl. If friends
come upon a sudden wearied with
travel to a citizens house and they be
loath to wait for curious preparations
and dressings of fresh meat let the
servant run to the water side, where
all things that can be desired are at
hand" This particular place of public
cookery apparently did an indoor as
well as an outdoor trade, for Fitz-
stephen further described it as being
used both day and night by multi
tudes of soldiers or other strangers
who refresh themselves to their con-
tent on roast goose, the fowl Of Afri-
ca and the rare gadwit of Ionia." But
what were the two last mentioned
viands ?-London Chronicle.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE
"THE UNFORESEEN"


THE Unforeseen, comedy drama, by
Captain Robert Marshall, of keen interest
and original construction, which for two
seasons served as starring vehicle for
Margaret Anglin and in which she scored
decided success. will be given its first
Philadelphia presentation at popular prices
by the Orpheum Company at the Chest
nut Street Theatre, Philadelphia. this week.
The dialogue is bright, sparkling with
humor and of a charming philosophical
turn. The play is in four acts, the first
of which is laid in Paris. the remaining
three in small community in England,
not far from London. The story is de-
cidely original in treatment, intensely in
teresting and almost tragic in tone. AT
the rise of the curtain we find that Mar
garet Fielding, eldest daughter of an
army officer, has run away with Henry
Traquair, young man of some means and
bad habits They come to Paris to be
married, the ceremony to take place in
a day or two. Pending the ceremony Ira
QUAR- is surprised by call from two
friends and to save an embarrassing situa-
ton, he presents Margaret to one of
them as his wife, a procedure entirely
agreeable to the young lady. But the
marriage never takes place and the result
ing complications make astrong emotional
drama. William Ingersoll will play
Maxwell and Marion Barney will be
seen as Margaret Fielding"

THERE may be good deal of onest
argument In the claim made by the advo-
Gates of the open Sunday that would ap-
peal to reasonable person, speaking for
the wage earners of limited spare time,
but the moral tendency of such radical
change In established custom would be
very much deplored, in time, even by its
present advocates. There will always be
the question of just how much person
may enjoy In the way Of amusements on
Sunday, and hardly any two will agree as
to the absolute right or wrong of amuse-
ments The fact remains that there is a
freedom of Sunday amusements now that
would astonish some of our grandsires,
but we have drifted toward this condition
as result of the gradual loosening of per-
sonal restraint, and it is very much mat
ter of personal opinion as to what each
one may enjoy on the day of rest without
a strain on the inner monitor Of right and
wrong. With such freedom at hand, we
should not want legislative enactment to
remove all restraint from Sunday sports. "
