RehearsfnG for Broadway

From Harper's Weekly.
All had talked themselves to the verge
of nervous prostration, when the director
suddenly called for the act all over again.
This time 1t went with snail-like slowness,
feeling its way over the stage with SEN
sitive antennae waving In every direction
till 1t was stopped abruptly by small
but apparently insurmountable obstacle.
That was the breakfast scene. 1t was all
too brief for verisimilitude, and the bur-
den of breaking it up fell upon the child
actor
The manager rose in his seat, with
arms extended like prophet of evil,
and shouted
THAT scene will fall dead fiat If the
boy can't choke on his glass of milk
hard enough to make every one jump
from the tablet
Immediately every one jumped up from
the table and gathered round the child
actor, to show him how to choke.
Perfect" exclaimed the author, 'if
they were only trying to stop instead of
start him.
Yes, retorted the manager; they'll
never do it that well tomorrow night.

death by any chance"

more than a mild cough or two. The lit

One of the interesting items Of
news Is the announcement of the en-
gagement of Miss Irene Sherman, eld-
err daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. Watts
Sherman to Lawrence L.. Gillespie OF
New York and Newport. 1856 N
Miss Sherman and her sister, Miss
Mildred Sherman, are among the best
known of our young women of society.
They were introduced about three
years ago and are exceedingly popular
both in town and in Newport, where
they spend their summers. There is
only a years difference In the ages Of
the two girls, an dthey resemble each
other so closely that they are often
mistaken for twins an error the more
easily made on account of their Gus
tom of always dressing exactly alike.
For the last year they have been seen
little in society owing to the family
being in mourning for Mrs Sherman's
mother, Mrs. John Carter Brown. The
two young women have inh erited Iar~e

row is In Europe" said Mrs. Philip
Van Valkenburgh, who has been stay
ing at the Muenschinger cottage in
Newport since she and her husband
separated at the Plaza hotel In this
city. r
There are all kinds of rumors as to
the cause of the separation. One was
that Mrs. Valkenburgh was too ex-
travagant although this could hardly
be for she is worth five millions of dol
lars in her own right before marrying.
Another rumor said that the husband
became picqued because his wife al
lowed an oil painting of herself to
be exhibited in Fifth avenue shop

most interesting one, was that an I'M
known woman had poisoned Mr.. Van
valkenburgh's mind against his wife.

That Football sill

Considerable attention Is being pad
In various parts OF the country to the
Parks bill, offered in the Virginia
Senate, forbidding. under heavy pen
atty the game of football as now
played. The general opinion is that
such law would not stand the test
IL passed and that the proper thing
TO do Is 10 modify the game and elim-
mate its dangers.
The belief is expressed by con-
temporary who has given the matter
close study. that the game as played
in the colleges and the universities OF
the United States of late years must
be abandoned-that it engenders a
spirit of ferocity. recklessness and
brutality which has had appalling re-
suits of the past In the killing or
manning of players. This form CT
football ought to be outlawed by the
colleges and universities. II is con-
demned absolutely by the best pub
lie opinion. and. Al necessary. 1t should
he prohibited by statute. 1t is less
manly and far more deadly than
prizefighting The man in the prize
ring fights only one adversary. The
football player, as the game has been
played in this country. is exposed to
the attacks of the eleven men on
the opposing team-and neither the
rules of the game nor any nice sense
| of honor protects him from foul
blows. Prizefighting is prohibited in
many states in which football has
been tolerated. Yet ii rarely happens
that prizetighter is killed in match
under the rules of the ring, while
football has claimed victims every
year Because the game as played
up to the present time is inherently
dangerous to life and limb. it ought
to be modified until the risk is re-
duced to the minimum, until the ele-
ments OF brutality are wholly elimi-
mated. Unless this reform is intro
duced the game should be put under
the ban.-Norfolk Ledger Dispatch.

SENATOR Hollis LIQUOR
CENSE gill.

Senator Hollis bill increasing the
liquor license tax. which has been ap-
proved by the senate finance commit
tee, seems to be a particularly good
measure. The bill was designed 10
raise additional revenue for the State S
somewhat depleted treasury. Appar-
entity II win make n considerable in
crease in revenue. and will place the
added burden where 1t belongs-upon
the pocketbooks of those able TO pay
The present State license tax on
brewers is ridiculously low. 1t seems
strange that it has not been at least
doubled or trebled before. Senator
Hollis bill increases this tax about
200 per cent. Since dry" cqmmuni-
ties In this State have become so
numerous and statewide prohibition
mas been in effect in states to the
south OF us the mail order houses
have Increased enormously in size and
number. Some of the saloon keep
ers and wholesale dealers do more
business through the mail than over
their bars. And the State gets no
fcense tax on this additional bust
ness. Senator Hollis bill imposes a
substantial tax. upon the mail order
business. Thus. while the proposed
law will put a heavy added burden
upon the liquor traffic. only com
paratively small part of it will fall
upon a large majority of the dealers
in hquor-the retail saloon keepers.
