The Fortune Hunter

lHC fOrtuuC f1ul1tcr
THE Fortune Hunter a bright.
clean American comedy. by w1nchell
Smith. will be the Offering of Messrs.
Conan and Harris at the Metropolitan
theater on Monday, November 6.
1t is breezily acted by an excel
lent company headed by Fred Niblo.
including Josephine Cohan. Frank Ba-
CON-, Phil Bishop. Frank Bouman. Len
to Fulwell. Virginia Barry and many
others of equal prominence. Fred
Niblo characterizes effectively the role
of Nat Duncan, a serious individual
who all unconsciously carries the airs
and graces of Broadway into Radville,
Pa. The whimsicalities of the Niblo
characterization are delightful and
particularly vel brought out by the &C.
tor in the opening act. The For
tune Hunter" one of the successes
dramatically and from the box Office
point Of view, of the season. is a vim
every situation, every act and the en-
tire moral Of the piece r wholesome
and the ensemble is uplifting. 1t is a
sermon preached by a subtle humorlst.
In THE Fortune Hunter" Nathaniel
Duncan. reared and educated in lux
ury. reaches the end of his belief in
himself, when, after five years Of be-
Ing compelled to work for a livelihood
he acknowledges that he is a failure
in everything he has attempted. In
his desperation. he accepts the scheme
for marrying a fortune under the rules
set down by his friend, and goes to a
country town to work them u Here
he finds the poor old druggist, dis
covers that he is more helpless than
Duncan yer was. and in the assump-
ton of the old mans troubles. his own
latent abilities are developed, and from
a failure In life, Duncan carves out a
success and q competence by his own
efforts, The druggists assertion that
the boy had great business ability
puts Duncan on his mettle and he goes
forward. first, because he likes the
work. and later because he loses his
pessimism and believes in himself. It
shows that every business man has
some latent ability in business lines.
which, If he will but discover 1t, will
lead to happiness and prosperity.

GERMAN EMPRESS ILL
Her Sickness Caused Feverish inflam-
nation of the TonsIs.

Wilhelmshohe, Prussia, Aug. 5. -
Empress Auguste Victoria, 1t became
known, is seriously i'll. There has been
no official reassuring announcement.
1t is officially stated that the en-
peror has postponed his trip from Ber-
lin to Wilhelmshohe because of the
illness of the empress. Presumably
this is on account of the danger of in
lection. The illness of her majesty,
which was at first described as heart
attack, has resulted in feverish infiam-
nation of the tonsils. The empress is
confined to her room and her physi-
clans have ordered perfect quiet for
her.
The empress, who is fifty-three
years old, and beloved by the nation,
has been subject to spells of vertigo.
1t was when suffering with one of
these a few years ago that she fell and
struck her head. A slight scar remains
in spite of the skill of the surgeons.
The court physicians are in attendance
upon the empress and while privately
the gravity of the situation is admit
ted, there is a tendency to minimize
her ailment for publication.

CAN WEAR PLUMAGE
Jersey Law Does Not Apply to Feath-
ers on Ladies' Hats.


Trenton, N. j., Aug. 5.-According to
an opinion given by Assistant Attor-
ney General Nelson B. Gaskill to Wal
ter H. Fell, secretary of the New Jer-
sey fish and game commission, women
wearing aigrettes or other decorative
headgear made from the plumage of
birds will not be compelled to aban-
don their use in order to escape jail
or a fine.
Mr. Gaskill contends that the anti
plumage act, which took effect Tues
day, applies only to the killing OF wild
birds and the sale of plumage of birds
or to have such plumage in possession
for the purpose of sale. He says:
"Plumage which is in possession of
a person and not for sale is not af-
fected by this act and any plumage
now being worn or owned for purposes
of adornment is not included within
the scope Of the act"
While this opinion whl protect wo-
men wearing plumage of birds pro-
tected under the game laws of New
Jersey, 1t will no doubt stop the fur
ther sale of such plumage in New
Jersey. Under Mr.. Gasbills opinion,
New Jersey milliners will not be al
lowed to sell plumage or dispose Of
hats bearing the plumage of birds
protected in the state.

wealthy carpenter contractor, aged
fifty-fve years, was found murdered

TRIPLE TRAGEDY OF LOVE

Takes Terrible Revenge.

Takes Terrible Revenge.
Olivia, Mimi, Aug. 5.-A triple
tragedy, including it's perpetrator, was
the sequel to the rejection of Edward
Corey's suit for the hand of Cora
Wolff.
Corey called at the Wolff home Fri
day, but was told by the girls father,
William Wolff, to leave the house and
not return. Sunday morning he en-
tered the Wolff home while the family
was asleep and went to the girls
room. Her screams aroused her father,
who was shot dead as soon as he
crossed the threshold of her room.
The girls mother ran two blocks
and aroused Sheriff Wick, who at
tempted to go into the room where
Corey was, and was warned by the
man. Then two more shots were
heard. and when the officers forced
the door they found three dead bodies.

The Columbia in Port With
Stem Smashed.
COlllDtD IN HEAVY FOG
The Sharp Stem Of the Steamer Cut
= Into the Iceberg, Bringing
Down ON Deck Tons
of Ice.

New York, Aug. THE Anchor
line steamer Columbia, which struck
an iceberg at sea, arrived here.
The stem OF the ship above water
was smashed in. The hull appeared
intact below the water line. The
officers were not very willing to talk
about the accident, but it was learned
that it occurred at Z o'clock on We'd
nesday evening, August 2, in latitude
IS 80, longitude As as.
The passengers were at dinner in
the main saloon when the crash came.
1t is said the shock was not great, and
the steamers officers spread quickly
about the decks, saloons and steer
ages reassuring the passengers, so
that what little alarm appeared at
the time soon subsidized, and all who
could went forward on deck to see
what was the matter
The steamer had been stopped dead,
owing TO the dense fog which pre-
vailed, and the captain was on the
bridge when, without warning from
the lookout or other officer, the sharp
stem cut into an iceberg, bringing
down on the deck tons of ice. So
suddenly had the accident occurred
that no one was aware OF icebergs,
and even after the steamer struck the
berg was not visible to its full extent.
The steamers engines were re-
versed, hasty inspection was made
of the forepeak to see If the water
was coming in, and men were sent
over the side to learn the extent Of
the damage After little time it was
seen that the damage was not seri-
GUS and the steamer proceeded slowly
until daylight, when canvas was
stretched over the bow to keep out
the water when the steamer forged
ahead. After this was secure the
steamer proceeded without further &C
cident at an average speed of thir-
teen knots.
When the ice tumbled down about
the lookouts ears it was close es-
cape for them that none of them
were injured. Many of the pieces
were so large that the men were
obliged to cut them up in order to
clear the decks. One passenger said
he could see the berg extended about
a quarter of mile out, and that II
was an unusually large one. Before
striking 1t no GOODNESS was noticed
and no echo was heard.
