Bishop Mackay-smith Donates Home
in Philade!phia.

PHILADELPHIA, October 4.-Bishop
Alexander Mackay Smith of the Protes-
tant Episcopal diocese of Pennsylvania
has announced that it was the intention
of himself and his wife to present to
the diocese their palatial home in this
city for an episcopal residence to be
occupied by the future bishops of the did,
cese. The house, a large double brick
building, trimmed with brown stone. is
assessed for taxes at S12o.0O0. and is val
ued at a little more than that amount.
The house is admirably adapted for a
bishops residence. 4 want to leave
something here to be remembered by
said the bishop today. and l shall Of
fer my house to the diocese as an ex-
preston of my esteem and affection for
the clergy and people here.
Bishop Mackay-Smith. who some months
ago announced his intention of resi- 5ninS
i'm the near future, will probably take
I'D his residence in Washington in a few
months. The bishop was resident OF
Washington before becoming bishop in
the Pennsylvania diocese.

Bonita, supported by Lew Hearns and
Sam Goldman, both clever comedians,
and good company in a musical comedy,
The Real Girl filled the Academy with
d capacity audience last evening and
scored a pronounced hit.
The production is a good one. much

popular price theaters. The plot re-

lover by portray wing and pretending to be

keller. then to trolley car in which the
developments arc as laughable as they
are remar ka bic, and winds up at Atlantic
City. Arthur Denvir wrote the book
and Snyder and Berlin the lyrics and
music.
Bonita is very large part of the show.
Her songs. "Cuddle Up t.Mysterious
Rag and Take Me Back to Your Gar
den Love- among them, were enthusiast
tica'ly received. Sam Goldman also drew
heavily on his encore stock with comical
songs and eccentric dances. The Dance
de L'Amour'' by Bonita and Carl Goe
was attractive and won much applause.
The production is in two acts and four
scenes, each presenting something novel
and something unusually good
