/ Terrys theater. London, in Anne War
ncr's Characterization of her novel Of

OF an eccentric woman of New Eng

for their special ability. Mr.. l.. S.

Robson is starring, has surrounded her
with an excellent company OF players
and special scenic production.
OF the star and production. the
Standard Of London, Eng, said:
THE Regeneration Of Aunt Mary"
was certainly surprise pathetic and
dramatic incidents follow unfolding
the story while May Robson as the
New England spinster dominates and
holds the humor; occasionally little
bits Of pathOs creep in here and there
as a relief from excessive laughter.
Perhaps the picture of the eccentric
old woman enjoying for the first time
sumptuous dinner in hrst-class
hotel Is funny, but the mistakes are
pethetic and Miss Robson develops and
holds interest as the play progresses.
At Terry's theater last night there was
almost continuous ripple of laughter
and yet at the moment Aunt Mary be-
came serious she compelled absolute
silence. Miss Robson is certainly
clever woman and her sense Of come
dy Is enormous and being supported
by clever company Of English ac-
tors. all London should see this very
funny play under the fun producing

TOWNSHIP DoosLIcENsEs.
Only Thirty Issued and Steps Will Be
Taken to Collect Foes.

TO date Calumet township has is
sued about thirty dog license tags.
This Is small compared with the
number of dogs in the township and
the officials are to take steps to col
lect more fees.
As yet the township has not provid-
ed "a dog catcher or special collector
.of licenses. which probably is the prin-
.cipal reason why SO few licenses have
been paid.
II is likely that at the next meet
ing of the board this matter will be
taken up, and means devised to make
owners Of CANNES pay up. Clerk
Geo. Martin has large number of

 Hoffman House Remains Open.
 Some time ago the announcement was made that the Hoffman House, that famous hostelry on Broadway and Twenty-ffth street. would be closed permanently during the first week of April For more than a generation the Hoffman house has enjoyed a national reputation as one of the most famous hotels in the country. Its fame did not rest so much upon the fact that for more than century the hotel was the fay- orite stopping place of many of the most distinguished visitors from for eign countries, members of the nO- bility, singers, musicians. artists. etc, but in much greater measure upon the fact that during all these years the Hoffman house has been the AAOnl AaA4DAH SldAAlIAAB EAOlnu -A democratic politicians Some time ago the house went into the hands Of a receiver and it was he who or dered the house closed.

At the fast moment, however. an agree ment was reached with the creditors which made it possible to keep. the old hostelry going The guests who had already moved out. were noti- fed and most of them gladly return ed to their accustomed haunt Most of the old employes Of the hotel also returned to their former places.

U. s. Senate Has sThree Bachelors
One Hopeless

most nightly the dinner guest of some select company where there are lad ies fesent No: infrequently the hostess assigns him to escort some clever woman to the festal board and the senator is always able to carry out the obligation imposed. but it is not to his liking.
 So courteous and polite are his manners. however, that the fair one is never aware of the embarrass- ment and discontinue which her proximity is causing the distinguish sd statesman. Perhaps Senator Bur ton has never had time for love mak- ing. for he is a very busy man and has no idle moments. He is an in veterate reader and student Of deep subjects. He Is authority on finance and upon waterways as well as upon other subjects, and has written mum erous books. including financial treat ises and historical works. He also is a linguist but withal devotes him. self unceasingly to the affairs of the state.
 Hopes For Penrose-
 More hope ful. however, is the case of Senator Penrose. He is tall. hand some, and a perfect physical speci- men of manhood. But Penrose is by natural bent a politician. Since he attained manhood, he has lived in an atmosphere of politics and conditions and circumstances have forced him into leadership in his own state, where the whole machinery of the commonwealth is responsive to his slightest command. He must be a man who manages the affairs of great state like Pennsylvania, even to the most minute detail of it's political organization, and Penrose has therefore had little time to give to the sentimental side of life. But he is the sort of a man whom almost any young girl possessing a modicum of human intelligence would really take to. He possesses all the manly qualities and moreoveris man of considerable wealth. Social matters. however. give him little or no concern. He would prefer to go fishing than courting whenever he has respite from duties of states manship and politics.
 Senator Penrose is now the leader of the United States senate and is so recognized under the new organ ization which has placed him at the head of the committee of finance and debutances here will have to throw out tempting bait if they catch this willy bachelor.
 The most eligible and probably the one most likely to be entrapped is the Hon. Frank Brandagee. Like Penrose, he too is handsome, and what most girls would declare to be the proper sort. He does not avoid the soclety of women, but revels in it, but he is too foxy to permit any of the fair ones to throw the net over his head He is gallant and but little past forty-five So there is a chance for Brandagee if the right one comes along. for his colleagues do not regard him as immune from the wiles of cupid

NEW YORK, April 13.-The cit1- zens of New York are enjoying the rather peculiar spectacle of a bitter and venomous scrap betyeen Police Magistrate corrigan and Mayor Gay nor concerning the conduct and ef- iciency of the city's police depart ment. Mayor Gaynor was not. at first. a great admirer of the muni- cipaI police department and during the early part of his administration caused many violent shakeups in the force. But he has evidently become reconciled with the conditions in the department and has become it's warm est friend and most gallant cham pion. The attacks of Magistrate Cor rigan upon the police deI.rtment and especially the men higher up have caused considerable stir in of ficial circles.
 The general public is not much in- terested in such matters beyond the mild excitement which is offered by the controversy between the officials. But it has been noticed that, notwith- standing official denials of the truth of BIr Corrigan's statements and statistics, the violators Of the Sun day and liquor laws and the ladies of easy virtue infesting the tender ioin district and other parts Of Goth am have become a great deal less bold and confident lately.
 Another Old Church Closed.
 Another one of the old churches of New York has been closed for good.

 NASHINGToN, ID. C.. AprD 1s- The famous bachelor quartette of the united States senate is no more-at least 1t Is no longer a quartette. Fate ana the decree of the voting popula- uon, or more particularly the vot- ing population of New Jersey. has robbed that most august body of one oi the eligible ones. the Hon. John hean. who retired to private life on March after having escaped the matrimonial lariet for 59 years. twelve of which were spent in the united States senate and the so- Gety Of Washington. where every enort is made to transform the bash ful bachelor into a benedict.

 Bachelor Trio Still Left.
 There .s still a bachelor trio in the United States senate. This trio is made up of the Hon. Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio; the Hon Boise Pen rose. of Pennsylvania: and Hon. F. R. Bandagee of Connecticut, all of them republicans and each with good. strong grip upon his seat in the senate and likely to remain there for some years to come. whether they continue tn the state of single bles- sedness or take unto themselves life partners. Moreover. equal suffrage has not made any inroads in the state which they represent, and there is no way of disposing them from their. political posts by use Of the female ballot
 Of course 1t would be considered too much of a personal matter to dis cuss the reasons why this trio of il- lustrous statesmen has seen 1t if any of them really have reasons to dodge the matrimonial yoke and the bur dens and possibilities of main tainiDg a family, but it Is not i'm proper 10 point out that dNaillDlIltS and the qualities which they possess each for becoming a husband.
 Burton is Hopeless.
 Senator Burton has sidestepped the advances of the ladies now for more than sixty years, and those who know him best regard his case as utterly hopeless and believe that he is destined to go on to the end of his career in the solemnity and soli- tude of an unmarried man. Why he has always steadfastly refused to become enamored of some fair charmer even those who most enjoy his confidence have never been able to ascertain, and they have too much regard for his feelings to broach the subject to him. A master of tact and diplomacy, and entertaining con versationalist of surpassing original ity, and possessing all the attribut- es which go to make a happy and contented married man. the Ohio senator is never more uncomfort- able than when he is in the company Of women. Nevertheless he is al
