is A MOTOR ROMANCE.

William Golfers new play. "A Lucky
Star, which comes to the Grand, Dav-
export, this evening, might be called
a motor romance. The piece has to do
with the trip of an American party
through one of the quaint Dutch can
ais, and three of the four acts take
place on some part of the boat, The
action of the play opens in the cabin
of the motor boat and the last act
shows the spacious decks From a
scenic standpoint the piece is positive
" spectacular. "A Lucky Star is
written in the crisp. sparkling manner
with which all Collier comedies are so
strongly identified. and the action
moves with the same irresist able force
which has carried his other plays to
success. Mr.. Collier himself has gain
ed an enviabIe reputation as a come
dian. There is probably no other
player on the stage today who pos
sesses as strong a personal following,
One reason for this is the fact that he
is generally known as the first aid to
the tired business man. There is
nothing so diverting as an evening at
one of Golfers farces. The man who
cannot laugh must indeed be a sphinx.
Mr. Collier has only just finished his
New York season and comes here di
rect from the Hudson theatre, where
the play has been seen for the past

gifted men are all easily approached
by the true-hearted devotee of their

HURT In FALL I'm
ELEVATOR SHAT
John w. ,Car1stedt, Book Concern
Employe, Victim of Accident
Yesterday Afternoon.

John w. Carlstedt, linotype oper-
ator employed at the Augustana Book
concern, was painfully injured late
yesterday afternoon by falling dis
lance of 10 feet down the elevator
shaft of the book concern. Carlstedt
had just assisted another employe in
carrying box of material from the
second floor Of the building to the
areaway behind the building.
The trip from the second floor to
the areawa had been made by the
freight elevator, the elevator being
left at the level of the areaway when
the two men left it. Upon returning
again to the building, Carlstedt was
walking backward and carrying a box.
Thinking the elevator was still where
they had left it, he did not look around
upon walking through the door, but
stepped into the shaft. Some one had
moved the elevator in the meanwhile
and Carlstedt plunged down the open
shaft to the basement
Fortunately he was in an upright
position when he struck the bottom
of the shaft, the full weight of his
body falling on his left foot. He was
Immediately assisted out of the shaft
by employees. 1t was found his left
foot was badly sprained, the ligaments
and tendons being stretched. He was

his personality might be tainted with
the color Of those peoples emotions
and that the current of his literary
life might be turned from the straight
rigid channel he had mapped out for
it. He remarked that he did not care
for intimates and friends, but lived
life of intellectual aloofness. He was
in the world, but not of it, except in
that. And how opulently and how &C
curately he thought His works are a
memorial for all time through the
grandeur and the precision of his In
tellectual processes. He spoke Ger
man without distinction, but quite flu
emily, and he had a little English. I
shall never forget the approval of
which he quoted Arthur Symon's lines:

er, and l left the northern sphinx never

be proud of the fact that this Colossus
Of the north did me the honor to speak
to me frankly and freely, even for such

Coroner's Jury Finds Death of
David Bysinger Is Ac-
cidental.
TOUCHES A CHARGED WIRE
Physician Labors With Victim Hour
Following Accident at Eigh-
teenth Avenue.

Two thousand volts, of electricity
passed through the body of David By
singer, who was killed at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon while watching o
baseball game at Island City park from
pole at Eighteenth avenue just west
of Ninth street. A physician worked
over him an hour in an effort to re-
suscitate him, but it was declared he
was beyond human aid when medical
assistance reached him.
The victim of the accident, who was
% years old. had not been regularly
employed of late. and as time was
hanging heavily on his hands, he went
to the ball park to view the game. He
climbed to the top of the pole, where
he commanded a view of the entire
field of play. Another young man,
Fred Fuller. climbed up after him and
settled himself in position just be-
low that occupied by Bysinger.. Both
were hanging partly to the cross arms
ard standing on the irons which are
placed in the poles for the use of the
linemen in climbing.
Sees Body Hanging Above.
About o'clock Fuller happened. to
turn around and look up towards By
singer He had been so interested in
the game that he had neither seen nor
heard anything from Bysinger for sew
srai minutes. When he looked he saw
he body of Rysinger hanging Imply
n about the same position that he had
occupied when last seen. The two
index fingers were extended out over
a wire and they were burned TO the

changed but little. He could have gone to
his uncle's old house blindfold. Along the
shore road he passed to the rocky point on
which the waves, though the wind had fallen,
still broke heavily. And there he entered
the avenue, somewhat steep, leading to
Grey House. He remembered the day when
he had climbed the avenue barefoot, when
as an orphan boy he had sought his bachelor
uncle and had been received like a son, when
he had met for the first time his cousin John,
then on a visit to the old man. How long

And Mary Derrick felt like going back;
but he had come too many thousands of
miles to turn at the very goal. He was sick
of playing the scapegoat; he had sworn to
recover his true and good name His face
grew very hard.
THE servant left him in the library. There
had been no library in his uncle's day,
and he realized presently that a wing had
been added to the old house. Certainly
Cousin John had prospered! Derrick knew
naught of books; but he could see that the
fine bindings, shelf upon shelf, must have
cost small fortune alone; and there were
the handsome furnishings, the luxurious car
pet, the noble fireplace, the beautiful etch-
ings. A word from him, and they would all
pass from the present ownerl But Derrick
did not desire them,-he could have bought
fifty such libraries, he desired only his good
name.
The door opened; woman entered. She
was very handsome, and it was not until she
spoke that Derrick recognized her. Her age
had more than doubled since his last meeting
with her. For more than twenty years ne
had cherished the memory of a slim girl, fair,
