"Men and women

"Men and Women"
men and Women is a drama in fouI
acts by David Be1asco and H. c. DeMil1e
which few years ago flashed across the
theatrical armament from one end of the
country to the other, e1ectrifying the
most fastidious and cultured audiences
everywhere, will be presented at the
Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia
this week.
No one acquainted with the Orpheun
Players need be told to what splendid ad.
vantage this organization of artists will
be shown. Those who missed "The
Charity Ba1l'' are, perhaps, not so well
able to say from experience how well
each member fits into the atmosphere OF
wealth and high breeding, but those who
did, know what treat is in store for them
in the coming production of MEN and
Women
The comedy element is strong in ''Men
and Women" 1t is high-class comedy,
so human, clean-cut and graceful that ii
appeals to every intelligent man, woman
or child with force and pleasant after
effect that fingers in the memory.
As the name would suggest the
characters in this play act as human
beings act under similar circumstances,
and not as the idealist paints them, cloth
ing them in impossible heroics and prac-
ticing idealistic self-denials.
1.-THE First Born''
''The First Born" is drama in one act
by Francis Powers, and has to do with
Chinatown in San Francisco, before the
memorable fire that destroyed the one
real Oriental colony in America. Seen
ically it is most picturesque, and gives
exacting glimpses into the lives of our
yellow brothers. It is strong and intense.
ly interesting tragedy and has enjoyed
great popularity. 1t is claimed to be the
first presentation on the stage of the
Cinnamon in serious attempt to reveal
true conditions in their midst. This play
will be at the Chestnut Street Theatre,
next week.

COUNTING THE PEOPLE.



= Raised Fine Row.
It was in 1853 that a proposal to
count the people was first made.
Thomas Potter, son Of the archbishop
OF Canterbury and member for st.
Germans, introduced In that year a
bill for taking and registering an an
nual account Of the total number of
the people and Of the total number of
marriages. births and deaths and also
OF the total number of poor receiving
aims from every parish and extra paro-
chial place In Great Britain" 1t was
inevitable, OF course, that directly this
proposal was made the precedent of
King David should be quoted. And
many were the jeremiads rs to the al
tentative evils which would befan the
country. Those submitted to David
were mild In comparison. Mr.. Thorn
ton, member for York city, said:
T. did not believe that there was any
set Of men or indeed any individual of
the human species so presumptuous
and so abandoned as to make the pro-
posal we have just heard. hold this

last remains of English liberty. The
new bill win direct the imposition of
new taxes, and indeed the addition of
q very few words viii make it the
most effectual engine Of rapacity and
oppression that was ever used against
an injured people. Moreover, an an
nual register Of our people will ac-
quaint our enemies abroad with our
weakness"
Matthew Ridley, another opposing
member, added that his constituents
looked on the proposal as ominous
and feared lest some public misfortune
or an epidemical distemper should fol
low the numbering. However, the
bin passed the commons only to be
promptly rejected by the lords. Not
until 1900 was the proposal again
made, and on this occasion Il was
brought to a successful issue. The
first census Of England and Wales was
taken In March, 1S01.-Westminster

One Ill service nature has done the
shark-namely, that of placing TRAN
gular I'm on his back which acts as a
danger signal and gives warning of his
approach Happily the shark has not
been gifted with sufficient sagacity to
be aware Of this popularity, for had
he been so he would unquestionably
abandon his habit Of swimming close
to the surface Of the water and would
In that case be enabled to approach
his victim unobserved- The shark is a
slow swimmer for his size and strength
Byron observes, "As darts the dolphin
from the shark" But Byron was a
poet and does not appear to have been
a close observer of the habits of in
habitants of the water or he would
have known that shark would have
no more chance Of catching a dolphin
than a sheep would Of oyerhauling

A WHALE IN A HURRY.
The Truthful Mariner Tells How Fas
the 6la Fellow Went.

The Truthful Mariner TeIIs How Fast
the Big Fellow Went.
Sometimes you can put an iron into
a whale and he won't splash on the
surface, but will start of like a rocket
or perhaps will go right down and you
have to cut loose and lose your line
and irons," said the truthful old mar
liner.
I'VE were lying becalmed one day of
the Cape of Good Hope. BY and by
we saw two or three whales coming
up to blow about two miles away.
1.-THE captain called the watch up,
and a couple Of boats started for the
whales, which were lying still, as If
summing themselves. We raced with
the other boat and got ahead, for my
men were 1.-the and tough, and by and
by we got alongside of one Of the big
fellows. The steering oar was pulled
in, the oars were packed-that is, piled
In so that they couldn't strike the
water-then an iron was thrown into
the floating island.
1.-THE whale lay still for moment,
as If struck with amazement that any
one should dare to touch him. Sudden
ly he made up his mind what to do.
He started off like locomotive, the
rope whizzing around in way to as
tonish a landlubber. When the rope
was out we were rushing by the cap
tain's boat like mad
'All we could do in that double end
ed boat was to sit still and see her go
that we went at the rate Of mile a
minute, and the water was a very
wonderful sight. 1t reminds me, now
that / think of 1t, of Poe's description
of the interior of the maelstrom,
where the water went round so fast
and was SO black that it must have
seemed like wall of polished ebony.
'sThe pressure downward piled the
water up on both sides of us SO that
1t seemed to be at least three feet
higher than the edge Of the boat, but
it couldn't run In, for we were going
so fast it hadn't time
EVERY ones eyes were blurred with
the wind, which seemed to be blowing
a hurricane against us. 1t looked as If
the whale would never get tired out.
and we were going to sea at an amaz
ing rate. The ship went away as If b
magic, and we had lost sight of thu
other boat Finally the line all at once
slackened
1.-THE whale hadn't stopped and, for
all l know, is going ahead at the rate
of a mile a minute still, but the iron
had come out.
1--WE rowed back to the ship, and as
we came along the captain called over
the rail:
Where's the whaleP
