NOTES OF THE STAGE.

The success of "Everywoman" at the
Herald Square Theater has been of such
| proportions that Henry w. Savage has
resolved to organize another company to
play the outlying cities next season. The
first important engagement was made last
week. when Marie Wainwright was sign
ed for the role OF Truth Miss VAIN
wright is one of the most ACCOMPLISHED
| actresses and Shakespearean readers in
this country, and Mr.. Savage has shown

ing role In the big allegorical spectacle.
Lew Fields continues his engagement at
the Broadway Theater in THE Hen
Pecks." under his own management. and
is reaplng a golden harvest The Hem
| Pecks' combines all the laughing quail

most spectacular scenic productions ever
staged.
Mabel Wilbur, the most charming Of
the many clever and dashing players
who have essayed the role Of Sonia in
Henry w. Savages Merry Widow COM
pany. attributes her splendid health and
perennial beauty to living and sleeping

bur's custom for a number OF years to
sleep in a tent, irrespective OF the
weather conditions. She carries a porta-
BILE bedroom tent with her on tour and

HippOdrOme Is Closed.
The New York Hippodrome has closed
its doors for the season and so put the
official period at the termination of the
winter theatrical season. 1t was origi-
nally planned TO hold the great play
house open for some weeks. but the con-
tinued heat has had such an effect upon
the box-oftice receipts that the Messrs.
Shubert. who are now managing the
building. decided to cut short a loosing
proposition and begin preparations for
the coming opening late in August. when
new and larger production will be
placed before the public.
A large force of workmen are Aow at
work upon the stage, which Is to be en-
larged and remodeled for the accommo-
dation of the new piece. What the new
production will be is a dark secret, but
it is said that it will be even more gor-
geous than anything before attempted in
this showhouse of marvels. In the mean
time the public will have to content itself
with the summer shows which will soon
make their appearance to replace the dra-
matte successes and failures that marked
the winter season.
Managers VS.. Aldermen.
A merry war is now going on between
the theater interests and the alderman
committee on buildings, with the unusual
spectacle of the city fathers in a role of
theatrical benefactors, while the theater
interests proclaim loudly against the
proposed benefaction. The point of dis
cussion Is a proposed change in the
building laws applying to theaters per-
mitting theater managers to make
changes that will apparently vastly in
crease the value of their property, and
on the one side are aligned the alder
mans committee, hat in hand, a smile of
polite surprise upon its carefully washed
face, explaining in softly modulated ac-
cents that it has only the financial well
fare of the interests at heart, while on
the other are the aforesaid theatrical in
terests obsequiously declining the prof
cred assistance and courteously intirnat-
ing that If the committee would mind its
own busines it would greatly profit
thereby.
The bone of contention lies in the fact
that the proposed changes in the build
ing codes. though 1t would undoubtedly
mean great saving in money, would
make the erection of new theaters in
New York a matter of such financial
security that those who have a practical
monopoly on metropolitan playhouses
would soon find many newcomers with
whom to contend.
''Old Home Week at Keith & Proc

Ward. minstrels, who have been to-
gether since 1865. has been one Of the
most pleasant and profitable experiments
of the past seven days. The vaudeville
house has been crowded to the doors
with gray-haired men and women who
knew and loved these ancient entertain
ers when they. too, were in their youth.

Hodges Canine Support.

BOD S name does not appear in tn,
printed programme casts of The Mar
from Home but for the past season Bot
has been playing his part nightly. and
he has Yet TO miss a performance. Bot
is the big, chunky English bulldog who Is
led on by the Hon. Almerc st. Aubyn In
the fourth art. AS the play goes the Hon
st. Aubyn has been more concerned over
securing the dog than he has over his
prospective match with Ethel Granger
Simpson. the young American heiress and
when he once purchases the dog he ap-
pears radiantly joyed. Bob comes on in
leash. He ambles along without the
slightest indication of stage fright. In
fact, he seems utterly Indifferent to those
about him, and to the glare of the foot
lights and the big, delighted audience out
beyond
The Hon. Almeric calls to Mariana, the
waiter, and gives instructions that Bob
be taken into the hotel and given a good
Tubing
Don't make a mistake and give him to
the chef" drawls William Hodge, who,
as every one knows. is Daniel voorhees,
Pike in the play.
Mariana picks up the chunky Bob and.
holding him at arms length, totters up
the step into the hotel. Sometimes Bob
submits content to cast one hideous
grimace at the audience, as if to say:
What silly way to carry me- I could
walk in myself more gracefully" Some
times, in playful mood, he leaps into Mari
amos arms and thereby nearly sweeps
the excellent actor off his feet But what
ever Bob does he invariably makes a hit
with the audience.
Bob is the fourth dog to appear in
THE Man from Home" since Liebler
& Co. produced the now famous
comedy. The first dog engaged could
not stand the excitement of stage life,
and died in Chicago. The second was
likewise an English bull, by the name
Of Pete. During the Hudson-Fulton Gel
ebration in New York, and while THE
Man from Home" was playing at the
Astor, Pete was stolen in a very peculiar
fashion. A boy whose duty it was to
take Pete out for a nightly airing was
accosted on Broadway in the midst of
the Broadway crowd by a stranger.
Where did you steal my dog" he de-
manded. and he seized the leash from
the startled boys hand. The man went
further and walked deliberately away, the
lad following at respectful distance. .
Then came Bob The story runs that
George c. Tyler, the active member of
the firm of Liebler & Co, took
BOD Tor DEBT from the kennels OF
fancier living near New York. He pre-
sented Bob to Mr.. Gayer. who plays
"Almeric," to make up for the loss of
Pete. Bob accompanied the players to
Boston and there, thanks to Boston,s
raw east winds. acquired a bad case Of in
fiuenza and grippe. For five weeks Mr.
Gayer stood for bills averaging s12 a
week for a veterinary's services, while
the company manager was obliged to
pay S week for an understudy who
could not touch Bob in the part. Hap
PLY, Bob recovered.
Bob carries one of the most forbidding
phizzes ever worn by any type of canine.
His teeth are oyershot, and they are
big and sharp. His stockiness gives the
impression of great strength. He was
mere puppy when he came to Mr.. Gayer,
and he is still classed as a Juvenile His
looks belle his disposition.

RAILROADS MUST
PAY|N MONEY NOT
IN ADVERTISING
Interpretation of Hepburn Law
BY Supreme Court
GOVERNMENT SUSTAIN D
Contended that il Railroad Could Ac
cept Advertising Other Comma
dIties Could be Accepted

Washington, Feb. 21.-Only money
and not advertising can be accepted
by interstate railroads in payment
for transportation, according to an in
depreciation announced yesterday by
the Supreme Court Of the United
States of the Hepburn rate law Of
1906. The decision involved a large
number of contracts between the
Chicago. Indianapolis and Louisville
Railway company and various pub
fishers.
The contract between the so-called
"Monon route" and the Frank A.
Munsey company gave rise to the
principal case. BY the terms of the
contract the Monon route was to get
one page OF advertising in Munsey's
magazine in exchange for $500 worth
of transportation.
The government claimed this was
in violation Of the Hepburn rate law
enacted in 1906, and asked the court
to enjoin the railroad from issuing
the transportation. 1t contended that
If advertising could be accepted, rail
roads could also accept coal or iron
ore or wood or oil or anything else
in payment for transportation, thus
opening the door to wholesale dis
ordinations among shippers.
The United States Circuit Court for
Illinois granted the relief asked by
the government. The Supreme
Court yesterday affirmed this decis-
ion.
