Maudc Adams has begun rchcarsals in New York for the single perform ancc of Joan of Arc" which she is to give in the stadium of Harvard uni vcrSity on the evening of June %. There will be over 1900 persons, in- cluding supernumeraries, in the com pany. There will be fifty super cap tains. two chief stage managers, ten ordinary stage managers, a large corps of electricians, property men, masters of costumes, masters of the horses that will be used in the battle scene and four skilled armorers.
 The single performance of Joan of Arc" will be given for the benefit of the Gcrmanic museum and under the auspices of the German department of Harvard. The use of the stadium was granted some months ago to Miss Adams by the president and fellows of the college.
 A special scenic setting adaptable only to the stadium, which seats 10,- 0OO persons, will be used. The whole effect Is planned to resemble the set ting for the Passion play at Oheram- mergau.
 After the performance the whole production will be dlsmantled and its parts dispersed. An English version of Schiller's 'Jungfrau von Orleans" will be used, and the incidental music, which will be an important feature, will be taken in most part from Bee ,hoyen's symphony, the "Eroica."

"A Fool There Was" based on "The Vampire" by Kipling, is one of the strongest plays seen in New York in several seasons and is social study of the highest type. It is a tragedy q tragedy of domestic lifc-and con- veys lesson as plain as is needed In these days, when there is so much danger of the marital tie being n loose one. It is fortunate that so good play is in the hands of SC capable and forceful an actor as Robert HIilliard, who certainly does some of the best work he has ever exhibited in his in- depreciation of the leading male role. that of the crring husband, who gets under the power of an adventures.

The Bia Gas Line.

( The new gasline from the West Vir.
ginIa fields to Baltimore has aroused
considerable interest, as it is now a
foregone conclusion.
The STANDARD Oil Company is be-
hind the enterprise and when the lines
reach Baltimore the Consolidated Gas,
Electric Light and Power Company of
that city will act as distributing
agents.
The line will start IN Harrison ccun-
ty at peint between Clarksburg' ard
Weston As the bird flies Baltimore is
about 1876 miles east of Harrison coun-
ty.
Sore idea OF the hugeDees of this
undertaking may be gathered by q
glance at the maps of West Virginia
and Maryland. 1t ill be found that
thsIpipe line if projected as nearly ss
possible in straight line, will cross
Tygart's Valley river, Rich Mountain,
GREAT Backbone mountain, Canaan
Mountain, New Creek Mountain,
Patterson Creek Mountain, Mill Creek
mountain, the Potomac river several
times; South Branch mountain, Little
Cacapon river, Great Cacapsn river
and mountain; Little North mountais,
Shenandoah mountain and river and
other ranges of the Blue Ridge noun
tain.
Leaving Harrison county, running
in straightline the conduit would
pass through the following counties ia
the following order: Taylor and Pres
ton counties, w. Va; Garrett comfy,
Md, Mineral and Hampshire counties,
w. Va; Freoerick eounty, Va;
berkeley and Jefferson counties, w.
Va; Frederick and Howard counties,
Nd; thence to Baltimore city.
From the ABOVE it will be seen that
the undertaking is vast one. 1t is
stated that to carry out the plan of the
company will require an expenditure
of from $l2 100000 to Sl5,000,000. In
Baltimore city and suburbs alone the
distributing company will spend from
81 ,000,000 to $2,000,000.

day by Sheriff.. o. Jones, of Aberdeen
county, Miss, and came as climax to
the arrest Of Oliver several days ago,
when he was fleeing with his young
bride in an automobile.
Sheriff Jones reached Bain5ridge
yesterday morning and immedIa tsly
went to the jail. The momen. he saw
the ex banker he positively declared
that the prisoner was a fugitive from
the Mississippi penitsntiary, where be
was known as Charles Harding.
The sheriff stated that Oliver, alias
Harding, was arrested in Aberdeen
county, Miss, May 80 1908 and re-
manned in jail under various charges
for several weeks, finally being con-
victed on all counts brought against
him. The sheriff said that Oliver es-
capped from the peniteptiary on De-
cember 81, 1908. Several days after his
escape Oliver reached this section pen
niless, but ia very short time he wa s
reported to be worth millions, and be :
gan buying banks, sawmills and prop
erty throughout the whole State. Oil
yer in few weeks became famous for
his ready replies to all propositions.
This applied to land, houses and
stocks, and, in fact, everything that
was psrchasahls, he had the reputa-
ton of never refusing trade, and he
always paid a smallIpertien In cash,
and insisted that the seller deposit tho
money in one Of divers many banks
and thus the endless chain of Giting
continued until divers trades amount
i ed into the hundreds of thousands.
He purchased automobiles at whole
sale, and gave them away right and
left to his newly made friends, He
built many fine houses, and the whole
| country stood aghast at his wealth
and his business ventures.
Oliver found time to court Miss Rose
English, daughter of promi aent
family and married her, giving her
diamonds worth $4,000 as wedding
present. He lived like prince and
spent money lavishly upon his young
bride. He established elegant stables
and bought blooded horses, and almost
weekly added 70 his stock of automo-
biles.
he bought more banks and more

A correspondent writes the New

Oliver, the plough manufacturer who
left fortune of S60,0o0,000 says that
the tariff earned him more money
than all his plants and men. His
pleughs sold in Australia for 60 per
cent less than la Indiana. This is
shown how a high tariff "protects"
the farmer and the workipgman.
