CHANTICLER WILL
 BE PRINTED HERE

Announcement has just been made by Hampton's Magazine that Edmond Rostand has chosen this publication as the one to print the English translation of "Chantecler." The translator is Miss Gertrude Hall, who did such excellent work with Cyrano de Bergerac and LAiglon, Rostands famous historical dramas.
 "Chantecler," according to the critics, is the one literary sensation thus far of the twentieth century. It Is not only an ingenious and striking drama; i; 1t is an exquisitely wrought lyrical poem. It's position in the annals of the theatre is unique. As is usual with French sensations, "Chantecler" has been tremendously dyertised-perhaps the most advertised piece of literary composition ever written. Long before Its premiere it was being talked about In literary circles all over France, Ger many, England and America.
 It's production at once placed upon the market an amazing array of 'Chantecler" styles In millinery and various knick-nacks and trinkets of fashion.
 Huge prices have been paid to Ed mond Rostand for his work. In all 1t has been figured that he will make five hundred thousand dollars on it.. Seats for the opening performance in the Theatre Porte Ste. Martin sold for as high as $40 each.
 Photographs of the original French production of the play are selling for as high as S20 piece. In fact there seems to be perfect orgy of money in connection with this latest Rostand tour de force.
 LIllustration, the great French week ly, it Is said, paid Monsieur Rostand s30.000 for serial rights. Hampton's s also paid an extremely high price for its reproduction in English, inasmueh as Monsieur Rostand granted the edi- tors the sole rights to serialize his play in this language. It will appear exclusively in Hampton's, beginning in the June number. The piece is com posed of four acts and will be published during June, July, August and Septem- ber
 The editors announce that the June cover of the magazine will consist of the striking figure of d red rooster growing at dawn-thus epitomizing the main theme of "Chantecler7
 As soon as Hampton's has serialized the work 1t will be issued next fall in book form, and MT. Charles Frohman also promises to produce it on Broad : way next winter presumably affording Miss Maude Adams vehicle
 All this news will be of great inter- est to literary people in the United States and especially students of poetry in the drama.
 Miss Hall, the translator, is the daughter of a famous singer of a de- cade ago. Madam Enda Hall, and the sister of Miss Marguerite Hall. the well known soprano. Another sister. Grace Hall. Is well known in the magazine world as a writer of short stories Born in Boston the three sisters were edu- cated in Florence and a great part of their life has been spent in Italy. Tn addition to the three plays of Rostand Miss Hall has made q notable trans- lation of the poems of Paul Verlaine.
 The editors of Hamptons are to be felicitated on their enterprise in secur. ing the exclusive publication O. "Chantecler." It certainly will make Charming reading for the summer months.

GERMAN MARZIPAN
Recipes Preserved In Many Families.
 Glazed Almonds.

From the London Evening Standard.
 Marzipan, according to the old German recipes which are still preserved in man uscript in many North German families, was simply made of a pound of blanched and shredded almonds and a half pound of icing sugar worked into a paste with orouge flower water or rose water the paste being then spread on wafers and dried in the oven.
 The modern German confectioner makes r,srzipan in much the same man ner, kneneing and rolling out the paste, however, on sugared board and sprink- ling it with sugar as If it were flour while only cursory amount of baking is given 1T. order to harden the exter- for.

1 ing the Glidden tour have been sent ou | by s. M. Butler, chairman of the con l test board of the American Automobile association:
 Additional interest in the American l Automobile Associations national tour fol 1910 will be found in the fact that there | has been provided a special trophy for the various types of runabouts and miniature | tonneaus competing in one class, known as the Chicago trophy donated by the Chicago Motor club, in whose home city the tour will end on June 29. The trophy which will be a handsome one, will be awarded outright to the runabout or min iature tonneau making the best score in the tour.
 Rules and entry blanks for the tour, including the contests for the Gldden and Chicago trophies, have been issued and can be had upon application to the con test board, 437 Fifth avenue.

 According to Prof Henry whittemore, who has been delving into Sage and Gould genealogy, the Goulds on the pos itive side are good old American stock.
 "Jay Goulds father" he declared, was named Gold, a Connecticut farmer, not so prosperous as the others of the family who emigrated to Delaware county. It would be rather incompre- hensible to expect the son of an obscure upstate farmer to develop great exec utive capacity out of nothing. but back of the father was a whole line of Colds who held the most responsible positions while Connecticut was colony. It was the ability of these ancestors, dormant for a generation or two, which Jay Gould developed to such a remarkable degree.
 MT. Whittemore related an anecdote of the first Gould of Delaware county There, had been a dispute over the own ership of land, which Goulds father claimed by squatter right When the sheriff came to dispossess him he was met with hot language and cold mus ket, and so Gould was left in possession of the land Thus MT Whittemore be. lieves all the traits displayed by the present Gouds can be duplicated in theiI near or remote ancestry.

 A. I. Dutton of the Willys-Overland company has prepared the following inter- asting data on the increase in motor ing:
 "A tremendous boom in motoring this spring is seen in figures gathered from state officials on good roads openings throughout the United States. Close tC 250 new, improved thoroughfares are opening to the public this spring in America-an average of about 45 roads tc each state.
