Once actors used TO say that they

gets up in a part" which may be one
of the reasons why there were once
more studied performances than there
are now. AS an example of how much
can be safely left TO the intelligence
of even tried actors is the case of the
NapOleonic play that Charles Froh-
man was once rehearslns. n the
midst of the dress rehearsal an actress
of supposed all-round experience cast
for one of the Paris street denizens.

discovered gaily decked out in patent
leather shoes with jolly red heels.

But they look ever so much pref

Frohman, but the mob did not wear

Twenty cents a day, or six dollars a

EDITORIAL COMMENT
ON DANIELS DEATH

(From the Harrisonburg News.)
In the death Of John W. Daniel, the
senior Senator from Virginia, one Of
the most notable figures in Virginia.
political life has been removed. About
his name there is gathered the finest
notions of craftsmanship that is too
rare in any age or country, and it has
served to link Virginia's present with
its respondent past. There are a thou
sand memories that this sad period
brings to mind. But, possibly, one of
its brighter and more hopeful aspects
is the splendid, strong way in which
the problem of a successor has been
solved.
The toga falls to one who has given
earnest Of the fact that Virginia's po-
litical history promises to be as bright
to the future as it has been to the
past. The matter has been pretty
definitely determined: the Hon. Claude
A. Swanson is to be Senator Daniels
successor. This is distinctly in ac-
cord with the wishes and expectations
of the democracy of the State.
Mr.. Hak Flood, of AppomattoX, will
be State chairman of the Democratic
party, and a wholesouled revival in
things political will soon show itself
throughout the State. Mr.. Ellyson is
TO retire from the chairmanship,
where he has for a long time served
his party and deeply endeared him
self to the people of the Old Dominion.
BY such politics the rule Of the
people is maintained, and our ideas of
a real Democracy are broadened and
strengthened. and hope for all the
necessary activity in political circles
is encouraged.
In the sinking Of his ambition in
obedience 20 the will of the people and
for the highest interest of his party,
the Hon. Hal Flood has given an IL
lustration of what might be accom-
plished by the Democracy of this
country, If proper reconciliation of
ones individual ambition be made to
the best interests of his party and for
service. Mr.. Flood, it is we'll known,
stood in such a position as would
possibly have given him the right to
this honor at the hands of the political
leaders of the State, but another field
was pointed out to him wherein he
could do fine service for his party, and
he has accepted ii.
This is a splendid evidence Of the
way in which Democrats are submerg-
ing private ambitions. for the wider
hope of party advantage. II will not
require much of this to make the
party at large feel it,

Details of Theft

NEW YORK.-Special. Details of the
theft of 100000 worth Of bonds from
the Carnegie Trust Company were laid
before the grand jury and the district
attorney this afternoon by Attorney
Henry 4. Twombly. representing
Charles E. WellbOrn, local broker.
Mr.. Wellborn owned the bonds and
had the money on deposit with the
Carnegie Company as collateral for
loan of $685. 900. That the bonds
had disappeared was noticed just
after the death of eX-President
Charles Coulter Dickinson. of the
trust company, who was reported to
have been overcome by fumes while
watching an experiment in the trans
fusion of silver in the laboratory Of
DR.. +. w. Lange, at Scranton, Ia. Mr..
Wellborn is now trying TO get back
his bonds. When the theft was re-
ported to him he called in Attorney
Twombly.
Attorney Abraham Levy was called
in by Mr.. Wellborn. The two law
yers held a conference with the dis
trict attorney this morning. The
grand jury concludes its Investigations
today.
Mr.: Twombly is said to have told
the district attorney and the grand
jury that during the last few months
he made repeated demands on the
trust company for the return of the
bonds. and that he was informed they
could not be found.
Makes Investigation.
The broker then made an investiga-
ton OF his own, and il is reported that
he found the bonds had been sold by
G. w. Chapman q Co, brokers.
EN-Judge Keener, representing the
carnegie Company, was next approach
ed. and he said that none of the Off
Gals OF the trust company knew any
thing about the matter. Upon getting
this reply, Mr.. Wellborn went before
the District Attorney.
The bonds are Southern Railway Sc
curities. Ex-Judge Keener, when seen
today, said he did not understand that
any bonds had been stolen from the
trust company.
President Reichman, of the trust
company, was with Keener at the time
An that l know Of this matter Is

Richmond is an exceptionally clean,
peaceful and pious city. No other city
of its size in the world of which we
know has as little of what is called
scandal in high life" Probably no
other city of its size has its business

her representative people could be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
Serious crimes are rare. The preva-

of sin to be rebuked, there are plenty
of pitfalls, temptations and immorali-

desperate fight to get the lunatic
ashore alive. The mailman was James
Mccain, formerly q wealthy resident
of Elizabeth, n. J.
Mccain had been confined some
time previously in the Manhattan asy-
lum as q dangerous lunatic.
The buildings of the Long Island
hospital are surrounded by a high
board fence. Mccain. with other in
mates, was on the third floor of the
main building yesterday morning He
was powerful man with black, pierre
ing eyes and long black mOustache.
He leaped to window and jerked il
open. He swung himself out along q
narrow ledge, clambered to a fire es-
cape and quickly made his way to the
ground.
Runs Along Wall.
AS there are always armed keepers
at the gate, Mccain ran for distance
along the wall of the building, and
then crossed the garden TO the fence
He leaped to the top of the fence, and
grasping the edge with his fingers
pulled himself up. No sooner had
the fence than the alarm was sounded.
ana half a dozen keepers and several
physicians connected with the institu-
ton chased the flying lunatic along
ClarksOn Avenue. But the escaping
man was too fieetfOoted for his pur-
suers, and by cutting across lots and
over back fences he soon lost the
crowd at his heels
Residents for blocks around the
hospital were notified by the police to
keep their doors locked until the ma
Mac had been recaptured.
Six hours later McCOughlin was
riding along the edge of the Prospect
Park lake when he saw q man strug-
Cling in the water. Throwing the
bride rein over a tree branch the
policeman jumped to the ground, and
tearing of his coat leaped into the
lake and struck out toward the drown
ing man.
AS the policeman came within arms
reach the maniac tried to fight him OFF
McCoughlin seized him by the back of
his coat collar, and with great din :
Guilty turned him over in the water
Then he struck out for the shore, his
prisoner all the time lighting desper-
ately TO free himself.
