A Curious Experience.

Lombroso, the famous Italian crimf- nologist, once had curious experi- ence. He was in a printing office cor recting the proofs iI his "DelInquent Man. with the chief reader when on reaching a page which dealt with a young man who, impelled by jealousy. had stabbed his hancee he made a surprising discovery. The proofreader was this man.
 Suddenly" Lombroso said in telling the story, 'he threw himself at my feet. declaring that be would commit suicide if l published this story with his name His face, before very gen. tie, was completely altered and almost terrifying, and was really afraid that he would kill himself or me on the spot. l tore up the proofs and for several editions omitted his story"

Next Door. v

The coming of J. B. Dodson in "The House Next Door, to Jackson's thea ire, for single performance next Fri day evening, March 4. is an attraction worthy of attention, owing to the inn portance and dignity of the star and the success the play has been accord ed in other cities. The play is a three act comedy by J. Hartley Man. Ders, who derived his inspiration from the German. It is said the merit of it consists in we'll devised situations and clearly drawn and boldly con- trasted characters. The scene is in England. and the most conspicuous and interesting person involved in the plot is a poor and proud English bar onet. who cherishes an inveterate hatred for his neighbor. a man of the people who does not enjoy, l1eredity of birth but nevertheless has made his mark in the world and has accumu- lated wealth. A projected matrimon- ial alliance between members of that of his rich and generous neighbor the baronet resents. The course of true love runs rough but the conclusion is reconeilement. the baronet seeing req son to relax his antipathy and become placable.
 Of MT. Dodson in the role of the naughty English aristocrat, it is said, his impersonation exhibits strong character. pride of birth and intense

feeling and embellishing his portrayal with many exquisite touches of deli cate eccentric 'ty and polished man her. No observer acquainted with Mr. Dodson's acting needs to be re- minded that he possesses unusual dis tlnction, that his design is always formed with deep thought and that his exception is that of the finely cut cameo.
 The character of the baronet is said to admit of very full play of the act or's peculiar humor and in the expo s1t1on Of 1t it also allows a touching 2 transition from hatred to magnanin1- ity, and MT. Dodson is said to improve that opportunity to delight the judg- ment and touch the heart Such hu- nor as he infuses into the character in his expression of it. is revealed by the expedient of seemingly uninten- t1onal comic irascibility with a show or splenet c temperament
 Shouts of laughter have always marked every scene and the piece is said to be brilliantly played, the neces- Slty of having company of unusual excellence is realized after witnessing performance. In the cast will be found Frank Losee. Herbert Standing, J. Malcom Dunn, Began Hughston. A. T. Tendon, Charles Diem. Olive Tenn pie. Ruth Chester, Fania Marinoff and Lorena Atwood. The sale of seats opens next Tuesday morning.

Charles Hoff, aged 20, who was struck on the head bv coil of pipe at the factory of the American and British Mfg. Go. recently, will not suf- fer serious injury. It appears that a heating coil too loosely attached to the ceiling broke away and descended upon EIeff's head. But this coil was not a part of the automatic fire ex- tinguishing apparatus in process of installation at the company's plant, and the latter apparatus did not fall, or contribute to the accident.

where he had an exciting time with

difficult than playing the piano in

and wonderful evening. Soon the
plaza contained probably 200 per-

policemen appeared on the scene
and told me that I must stop. and

But l did not have to remon-

Suddenly some of the spectators,

policemen, and instead of arresting
me, arrested the first two police
men on the charge of being drunk.

Whatever might have been said

new methods in their never-ending

out vowing vengeance on the police.
Liabeuf, a man of the real Apache
type, did not hesitate to boast that
he was going to kill a policeman.
He warned them that he was COM

sary, for as soon as he was sighted
two policemen grabbed him by the
arms. Immediately there were
shrieks of pain, for under his sleeve
