CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE
PHILADELPHIA


"The School for Scandal" the best
known and most successful play writer
by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, one Of
England's famous dramatists, will be
given an exceptionally artistic revival BY
the Orpheum Players at the Chestnut
Street Theatre, Philadelphia, this week
The play has been classic of the English
stage for many years and needs very little
introduction. 1t has been presented il
this country from time to time by the
foremost actors, and in recent years many
successful productions of it have beer
made by the colintry's leading managers
For long while the Orpheum Players
have been requested to revive this splen-
did old comedy, and finally Manager
Laferty succeeded in securing good
modern edition of the play, so that its
production at this time can be thoroughly
appreciated. It is of particular interest
to note that Peter Lang will play the role
of Sir Peter Teaz1e, and Miss Marion
Barney will be seen as Lady Teazle, role
in which Fannie Davenport achieved one
of her pronounced triumphs. All the
other members of the Orpheum Company
will be in the cast, so that thorough and
complete production can be looked for.
The play will be presented under the
personal supervision of Stage Director
Percy Winter 1.-THE School for Scandal
deals with an interesting phase of Eng
liSh life

papers out In her side yard when the
flames caught her clothing, almost in

screaming toward her neighbor, Mrs. G..
81. Horner, and she with Mr.. Horner, who
was also in calling distance, came to her
aid. By the time, however, that they had
secured things to smother the flames, she
was frightfully burned. The unfortunate
woman was attended by DR.. Price, and
every care was given her, but death ter
minated her sufferings. Mrs. Bowker's
maiden name was Abbie A. Let's, for
merly of Wrightstown, and was sister of
Frank Let's, of Mount Holly. Her funeral
took place from the Pointville church on

Warwick Asks Divorce.

Testimony was heard by Vice Chancel-
Tor Leaning in Camden, Thursday, in the
divorce suit of Moses Henry Warwick
against his wife, Mrs. Clara Estelle War.
wick, on the ground of alleged misde.
meanor with Mount Holly man.
Mrs. Warwick's troubles began when
she obtained a writ of habeas corpus for
the custody OF her child. This case was
heard early In the summer, and the hus-
band was awarded the custody of the child.
AS result of the testimony given in this
case Mrs. Warwick had two witnesses ar
rested on a charge Of perjury, but when
the indictment was moved the State
abandoned the case.
The bill for divorce was filed by Moses
Henry Warwick after the habeas corpus
proceedings were disposed of. The testi-
mony adduced Thursday showed that
Mrs. Warwick was seen during the fall of
1908 In company with man. Mrs. War
wick's defense was general denial of any
moral lapses, and the statement that she
missed the last train from Mount Holly to
Lumberton and sought company to escort
her to her home.
After hearing the testimony the Vice
Chancellor reserved his decision. Both
parties are residents of Lumberton.

The Next Annual Meeting to Be Held
1T Altoona In December.
The next annual meeting Of the
Pennsylvania state grange will be held
In Altoona In December The full
corps Of officers will be elected for a
term of two years. State Master. Hill
is working hard to make the member
ship of that state 100000. In q recent
address he said:
Among the fraternal organizations
there Is none more potent than the
grange. 1t came into existence forty
one years ago to fill want. 1t con-
tinnes to live and gain in strength and
influence because it meets the social,
educational, political and financial
needs existing throughout the country
today. Farmers In Pennsylvania rely
upon the grange now as never before,
and this nonpartisan, nonsectarian or
ganization never hesitates to assume
leadership for the betterment of farm
conditions and the development of
strong rural citizenship"
A correspondent writing of grange
work in Pennsylvania says that the
grange is making very satisfactory
growth in that state Since the last
state grange meeting twenty-one new
oranges have been organized and six
dormant ones reorganized and one Po-
mona organized. The limitations in the
old oranges are fully equal to any
period during the year. He further
said:
"N'e are q good deal worked up over
the question of representation in the
national grange, and no less so at the
arbitrary way in which the national
grange authorities dictate as to where
the Order shall be planted and where
not. That states which do not have
as many oranges in them all told as
we have organized since the LIST Of
January shall go to the next national
grange meeting and have as much to
say rs we shall is un-American and IN
fair. If the Order Is to continue to grow
in this state there must be justice done.
If the strong states will stand together
in the matter it can be done peaceably.
The fact is it must be done, and the
sooner those who stand in the way
become convinced Of that fact the bet

Brief Dinners the Rule.

Impossible In that no one with preten-

which lasts more than an hour and a

are taken until the men join the wo-
men in the drawing room. One hour
and three-quarters is the time allotted
even to a White House dinner, and the
guests of the president, after chatting
with the women for fifteen minutes,
are expected to depart. A big relief

sat at table from s until IL and then

ATHLETIC FIELD FOR ROME.
Eternal City, Sport Mad, Will Have
Complete Public Playground

Italy has gone mad on the subject Of
sport. There has always been a great
deal more of it In the peninsula than
she has had credit for but now sport
has become a mania. Rome, not to
find herself behind Milan, Turin or
even, as she says, Paris and Berlin,
has already begun plans for an i'm
mense public playground.
The Eternal City is surrounded by
the open plains of the celebrated Cam
pana di Romano, which are unculti-
waited, so space is not lacking, and
twelve acres have been set aside by
the city of Rome to the northwest adj
joining the Villa Borghese for all kinds
Of imaginable games and gymnastics.
The various ball games, such as pal
lone" which is very dangerous, will
have a large space to themselves, with
beside 1t a football field which any
American city might envy, as this
game has become highly popular among
Italians, who dream of sending a team
to challenge America. There will be
Enclosures for running, jumping, bicy-
cling and discus and jayelin throwing,
etc. There will be a modern gymna-
sum also, and bows and tennis are
not to be neglected The different
grounds viii be divided from each 9TH
er by shaded walks, where the public
will be free to enter.
Some of the Enclosures viii be ready
at the end of this year, the whole, 1t is
calculated, being ready for Inaugural
ton In couple Of years.

And the life trampied out of the guard!

With pretty gold and pink.
And they train on lady fingers.
And there's lots OF tea to drink.
Course it's awful hard in training.

But his place won't be much missed,
For the brute forgot his manners.

In one of the Pomona grange meet
ings held recently In New York state a
resolution was adopted making the
Pomona meeting a delegated body
that is, delegates were to be elected
by the subordinate oranges in proper
ton to their membership. There was
some doubt about the constitutional
ty of this proceeding, and the state
master was consulted. He advised
that the Pomona is not delegated
body and cannot be made such with
out amending the constitution. This
item may be of interest to other
oranges in the state.
