CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE. PHILADELPHIA

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA
"a Gentleman of France" adapted for
the stage from Stanley Weymans thrill
ing romance of love and adventure dur
ing the stirring days of Henry of Ma
varre, will be presented by the Orpheum
Players at the Chestnut Street Theatre,
Philadelphia, this week
This play attained great popularity and
attracted national attention when original
ly produced with Kyrle Bellew in the
title role because of its many sensational
features and the fact that it called for the
most spirited sword play the stage has
ever witnessed. In one scene alone-a
broad staircase in tavern leading to the
sleeping apartments-the bold and dar-
ing Gentleman of France" determined
to rescue certain young lady from a
band of desperadoes, fights eight men
single-handed, kills four of them and
puts the others out of commission, and
accomplishes the task he has set out to
do No romance-be it in dramatic or
book forn-can be more thrilling or so
full of life and action as "a Gentleman
of France" 1t is simply one whirlwind
of exciting events, never tagging in fire
and spirit, always keeping the audience
on the edge of expectancy, waiting almost
breathlessly for the next thing to happen

The "Arabian Niahts."

The collection of tales called the
Thousand and One Nights" or the
arabian Nights" is of unknown date
and authorship. 1t was first made
known in Europe about the end of the
seventeenth century by Antoine Gal
land. who was employed by Colbert to
collect manuscripts in the east. The
copy Of the Arabic manuscript brought
by Galland from Syria contained a
marginal note dated 1884, and from in
ternal evidence the middle of the ff-
tenth century has been fixed upon as
the probable period of the composition
of the work. Some of the tales were
evidently borrowed by the writer from
other authors. and Won Hammer iden-
titles at least the plot and some of the
stories of the Arabian Nights with
an earlier collection in Persian called
the Thousand Fanciful Stories"

The White Shark.

The shark of sharks, the real man
eater" and the one most dreaded, Is
the white shark. This variety reaches
a length cf thirty-five feet and a
weight of 1000 pounds. Its head is
long and fiat, and the snout far over
hangs the mouth. Its six rows of teeth
are sharp as lancets and notched like
saws. Its mouth is very large, so that
one has been known to cut a mans
body completely in two at single
snap of its cruel jaws and another to
swallow one at gulp. Near Calcutta
one of these sharks was seen to swal-
low a bullock's head. horns and all.
From the stomach OF another bulls
hide was taken entire, and the sailor
who made the discovery insisted that
the bull had been swallowed whole
and all except the hide had been d.
gested From the stomach of another
was taken lady's workbox filed with
the usual contents, scissors and all. 1t
Is commonly the white shark which
follows the vessel at sea day after day
and week after week.

NEVER feeling good over the fact that
negroes were allowed the privilege of
voting. the state of Maryland has decided
to take the bull by the horns and test the
constitutionality of the fifteenth amend
ment to the United States Constitution.
The Maryland Legislature is overwhelm-
ingly Democratic and the members of that
party, after caucus lasting three hours,
decided to adopt a plan whereby every
colored man would be deprived of a vote
in state and municipal elections. This
action is very bold one and will undoubt-
eddy create widespread discussion as it
sets itself up against the United States
Constitution. The Maryland Democrats
claim that the fifteenth amendment was
rejected by that state, hence 1t is not
bound by its provisions, although, for
forty years it has acquiesced In negroes
voting. On two occasions the Democrats
of Maryland tried to have adopted Con-
stitutional amendments eliminating the
ignorant and unthrifty negro from poll
tics. Finding that course impossible 1t
has now decided to have the right of suf-
frage restricted entirely to white voters.
The Republicans claim that MARYLAND
has now put itself on record squarely
against the Constitution of the United
States and the outcome will be watched
with interest.

A nervous little man stepped briskly
into Euclid avenue jewelry store
the other morning with a mediu'
sized clock under his wing, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. He placed
che chronometer ON the counter, turn
ed the hands around to about one min
ute of II o'clock and told the expert
behind the counter to listen. TT keeps
perfect time,' the customer said, "but
I want to find out if you notice any
thing wrong with the way it strikes"
The jeweler listened. There's moth
ing wrong" he replied, with a grin,
after the clock had struck, Except
that she strikes thirteen instead of
twelve. That can easily be remedied.' -
The customer looked as relieved as ii
he'd just awakened from a bad dream.
That's just what I've always thought
ever since we've had the clock,' he
burst forth. 1--WE always felt sure it
struck thirteen. But no one else in the
family ever spoke of it, and l was
afraid to say anything about it for
fear there was something wrong with
my own works. Well, it's worth the
price of having the thing repaired just
to find out l was right"

April Foclinc,

The origin of the custom of April
fooling cannot be traced with any de-
gree of certainty. In the literature of
the last century there are found many
references TO it. and yet beyond that
1t is scarcely possible to go. One sug-
gestion is that the custom of playing
tricks on the first day of April was de-
rived from some ancient pagan Gus
tom. such as the Hull festival among
the Hindoos or the Roman feast of the
fools. One fact. however, we do know.
and that is that the practice prevails
in many countries under various
names which would seem to indicate
that it dates away back to the early
history of the race.-BroOklyn Eagle.

By THE signature of Governor Fort a
public utilities bill is at last law and will
take effect on the fourth OF July. 1t is
not entirely what was wanted but 1t is an
improvement on the laws under which the
railroad commission Is now acting, and
the Governor has expressed himself as
considering the bill a long step in advance
OF present conditions. The rate making
power was not given the commission, and
this was possibly mistake. That pro-
vision might have worked hardship in
some instances, but there are many cases
where supervision over passenger and
freight rates on railroads would be very
advantageous. There are many items in
the new law that will be for the good OF
the public If the commission puts them
into effect and with the fact that the peo-
pie have demanded law having In view
some of the things that this bill provides
for, there Is reason to look for improve
ment in many lines that have long been
neglected. The power that was vested In
the railroad commission has been plainly
shown, especially in the matter of COM
polling fiagmen at dangerous crossings,
building stations at places where mere
sheds have been but covering for pas
sengers and in other ways. To have these
powers extended towards other corpora
lions even though the result be meagre at
first will be better than having no power
at all.

THE importance of attending to all
small items in public business was never
more strongly illustrated than events In
connection with the recent school meet
ings. In one of the townships of this
county the Board of Education failed to
specify where the election was to be held
and also failed to adopt resolution tell
ing the district clerk where to post notices
of the meeting. This is imperative under
the law. and consequently the election in
that township was not legal. 1t is a
question whether there are not other
townships that are in the same predica-
ment. In Princeton township the election
Will be set aside because the votes cast
sanctioned the raising of $4,000 in a lump
sum while law says the item for repairs
must be separated from that of current
expenses. In West Windsor township,
Mercer county, the names of the candi-
dates for members of the Board of Educa-
ton and the appropriations were all on
one ticket, against the provision of the
law which distinctly provides for separate
tickets and separate ballot boxes. The
election In this township will also be set
aside.
