CAR JUMPS THE TRACKS
Passengers on Long View Line Given
a Scare Last Night.

shortly before 7:30 last evening a
Long View car coming down the Twen-
tieth street hill refused 70 keep on the
tracks in rounding the curve at Elev-
enth avenue and the result was that
the passengers were badly frightened
when the car ended up against the
curbing on the north side of the ave
nue. after a series of bumps and jumps
over the paving. Fortunately the car
was going at a low rate of speed and
the mOtorman stuck TO his post and ap-
piled the brakes. The line was tied
up for nearly an hour before the wreck
er could pull the car back on the track.
The car was not badly damaged and
was able 10 continue in The service.

being obtained. The through ride FROM
this locality to Chicago will be made
possible by the connection of the Ster-

The Sterling Moline road is to be

will be Princeton and Moline. although
it is understood the purpose of the
promoters is to send their trains into
Rock Island and Davenport unless it
should so happen that Moline business
interests would organize against a con
tinuation of the service beyond their
city.
To Come Over Tri-Ctty Rails.
However. there is a sentiment among
many of the business men there
against the town wall idea. and it may
happen that the promoters of the new
road will not meet with any opposition
in sending their trains on TO Rock Is

PREMIERE OF BECKY SHARP"

It is only the good things that live to grow old. Particularly is this true in the things of the drama, where the adage that "the good die young has no stand ing whatever. The good plays live, the bad ones die a speedy and sometimes a horrible death. The classics in dramatic literature have lived for hundreds of years and will continue to live for hun dreds more, but how many plays of the past 10 or 50 years have any perennial value? It may be argued that the tastes of playgoers change from season to sea- son or from cycle to cycle, that one season they run to farce; another to the romantic drama, another to the business play, the society play and what not. but such an argument is a fetish. They run always to a good play, no matter what it's classification, and a gladly continued support keeps the worthy plays from go- ing to the theatrical ash can, a recep- tacle that is usually pretty well stuffed.
 All of which Is preliminary to the ob- servation that Mrs. Fiske will bring to the Jefferson theatre, December 1,
 Becky Sharp" a play that is not O
 
 positive characteristics, either of itself or through her assumption of the title role, else it would not now be offered after a lapse of 10 years or more. decade has passed since the play was brought out at the Fourth Avenue the atre in New York with Maurice Bar rymore as Rawdon Crawley and Angus tus Cook as Lord Steyne. Even that erudite dean of the critical guild, William Winter received the play with enthus- iasm and the popular approval was voiced by week after week of business that was extraordinary. An incident in con- nection with the plays production was that orders for seats accompanied by checks were received over a year be- fore the first performance was given. Harrison Grey F'iske had announced that Mrs. Flske would appear 8 year or so later in a dramatization of Vanity Fair" the play had not then even been named, and mail orders immediately be- gan to come in. Probably no first night" in New York history had been so ex- tensively anticipated due to the long es- tabished popularity of Thackeray's novel, and the general confidence in the treat ment that would be given 1t by MT. and Mrs. FislSe.
