distinct novelty in the dramatic field
which will be welcomed by all who are
fond of the dashing freshman of the
eighteenth century type which now
exists only in story Dir. Olcott has
written a cycle of new songs to fit
the piece, and which are promised to
be ahead of anything he has done in
a long time. The production. which
has been built under the personal dir
ection of Augustus Pitou, is unusually
elaborate and worthy of that veteran
in the art of stagecraft.

Firing one shot at her breast with
q .32 caliber revolver Mrs. May Pret.

West Second street, attempted taking
her own life shortly after dark yes
terday evening The bullet seems to
have struck a rib, which allayed the
effect of the shot and the woman was
not fatally wounded, 1t Is thought.
Three physicians wer0 called, and
after working over the woman for the
course of an hour, the bullet had not
been discovered IT Is the opinion OF
one of the physicians that the bullet
glanced from the rib and will later
be found among the clothing OF the
woman A slight internal bleding In
dicates that there is some possibility
of the bah having sunk in the wo-
mans left lung.
Mrs Prettyman evidently meant
business, as she fired the revolver at
her heart Had II not been for the
lucky chance of the bullet striking the
rib, the woman would have probably
been successful In the attempt on her
life.
