The English club of the University
of Idaho last evening achieved a nota-
BILE triumph in a carefully prepared,
and thoroughly spirited presentation
of George Bernard Shaw's brilliant
comedy, Arms and the Man." while
delighted audience attended an in
tellectual Donnybrook Fair, with the
witty Irish author and the military
men, and applauded the Shavian spirit
as Shaw followed that historic Irish
saying: eff ye see a head hit ut"
War, heros, youthful ideals,
ility, the fiction of truth, and a thou
sand and one other human foibles are
targets, in arms and the Man," for
Shaw's biting wit. Although the
Irishman has been placed high among
the high-brows his wit and his fun
have universal appeal. Shaw, with
characteristic iconoclasim has broken
the classic rule that comedy consists
in differences from common humanity,
while tragedy is effective because of it's
similarity to the hopes and aims and
emotions of the audience. The audi
ence last night felt itself unmasked
as Bluntschli ruthlessiy stripped
Saranoff and Rama of the trappings
and tinsel of fctive idols and ideals,
and had to laugh at itself.
Arms and the Man" is the most diff
ficult play ever attempted by the Eng
lish club with the exception, perhaps,
of Ibsens DOLLS House." 1t is play
difficult of Interpretation, because of
Shaws irrepressive determination to
poke fun at everything, and everybody,
even to the actors, and because Shaw
has his own theories of dialogue which
at times make action slow. Notwith-
these difficulties the players
last night achieved distinct sue
cess. Miss Beth Soulen was an admir-

subsequently to beautify that section
of West Richmond.

be opened up by the street. it is be-
ieved would afford good building sites

torship. II he does not withdraw in

Murphy has left Albany and does
not intend to come back for some

successor to Chauncey NJ. Depew Is
now in the hands or the upstate men.
Murphy feels that he has gone as

go. He is wearied OF the criticism
which has been heaped on him be-
cause of his stand for Sheehan and re-

Paris. February 1S.-The Paris po-
lice have caught man Maurice Jay
her. described by the Figaro as a
swindler, "tout fait Parisien.' At
the age of twenty Jayher was one of
the most brilliant pupils of the Con-
servatory of Music and Acting. He
afterwards played with much success
at the Odeon and Coincide Franchise.
He belongs to an excellent family
whose father was vice president OF
the Societe de Gems de Lettres.
Jayher has lived by his wits. Re-
Gently he was surprised in the act of
appropriating gold snuff box at the
house of O'Marquise d'Argenson. He
has just been condemned to eighteen
months Imprisonment and Punishment
from France for a series of swindles
which demanded considerable address
and no small audacity. His victims
were always chosen in patrician cir
cles. Among those on whom he call
ed were the Duchess de Bellune,
Duchess de Levis-Mirepoix. Baronne
de Rotschild. Lady Pirbright and
Baronne de Leonino.
To these ladies he presented a let
ter purporting to be signed by Bar
onne de Grandmaison, or some other
high-born person. in which the writer
warmly recommended the faultlessly
dressed NJ. de Giers (the name as.
sumed by Jayher). who was solicit
ing subscriptions for young Russian
lady pianist who had lost her sight
NJ. de Giers, it was added, was organ
izing gala performance at the Opera
and the baroness felt sure her
friends would do what they could to
assist the unfortunate girl"
Several of the ladies appealed to re
sponded literally. but some preferred
to send their offerings direct to the
person whose name the letter bore. II
was this that led to the discovery OF
the swindle.
