CAMILLE" THIS WEEK
AT AVENUE THEATRE

The play at the Avenue Theatre
this week will show us the Avenue
Amusement Stock Company in new
light. Despite the fact that the end
Of the theatrical season is so nearly
reached and that of necessity a rest
will be extremely welcome to the
actors. the stock company is putting
some of its best and most thoughtful
work into the presentation of the
world-famous play Camille"
Miss Mays Interpretation Of the
name part in this play may be count
ed upon as winning, true and pathetic
While Mr.. Millers powerful charac-
terization Of Armand Duval will be a
striking example OF the effectiveness
Of restraint and dignity in acting as
opposed TO the over-enthusiasm that
approaches ranting. Mr.. Miller could
never be accused of ranting. His
playing is always strong in its self
restraint.

WARNING TO PARENTS.

Some time ago a crank shot David
Graham Phillips, the author, and then
killed himself.
His friends said the assassin was In
Sane.
or course. but
What nude him insanef His histo-
~ shows that as a child he was al
ways brooding over things. He was
Inclined to be morose and solitary.
And then
He grew up a man given TO spells OF
melancholy shrinking. suspicious,
self centered person.
OF course he grew up that way.
What could you expect OF such a child
II let alone? We are learning much
more about such children than we
knew formerly.
The faults Of the man IN this case
were the outgrowth of a neglected
childhood. Therefore he shrank from
those he fancied were his enemies and
viewed his friends with suspicion.
Now
Phillips was too busy to take the
man at the mans estimate. Therefore
the fellow brooded over what he felt
was a personal affront and became as
10 Phillips a monomaniac.
But here is the lesson:
Have you a brooding child7 Does
the boy or girl dislike to play with
other children, preferring to be with
his elders or choosing to be much
Rlone7
Be careful Of that child.
The behavior is not natural. II the
child is not III there is something
wrong In its mental tendencies. 1t is
natural for the child to be active and
to associate with other children.
You may be nursing a criminal or
maniac.
You need not worry much about the
noisy boy who comes home occasional
" with a blackened eye or the girl
who romps like tomboy.
Look out for the quiet one.
OF course the child may be fll in
body or stunted physically. Find out,
Consult a doctor.
But stop the brooding habit. That
way lies insanity or mental or moral
perversion.
Get the child much in the fresh air.
See that It becomes physically tired
with exercise. insuring sound sleep
See that 1t plays with other children.

Courteous TO the Inst.

A visitor to the jail in a New Eng

manners Of the few prisoners.
They seem so gentle and so po-

"Oh, they're cordial and courteous
all right" said the jailer, but I'd
rather have less manners my

You would" and the visitor was
evidently shocked.
II would, ma'am," repeated the Jail

Mr.. Handy Lauds Highway
Gift Before Sons of Delaware

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEW CASTLE. May s.-"when a
man loves his State TO such an extent
as TO give to II a million dollars
without any return, then he deserves
the warm hearted praise of the peo-
pie of that State" said l.. Irving
Handy, in speaking Of the General
r. Coleman DUPONT boulevard. before
the Sons of Delaware at the planked
shad dinner here on Saturday even
ing.
Il do not hold a brief from Mr.. du-
Pont,' continued Mr.. Handy. We
speak when we meet and ] am not
aware he knows who I am; but still
he desires commendation Of every
progressive man. When a man loves
his State and it's welfare enough to do
such a thing as to build boulevard
the entire length of this grand little
State, we should praise him now
rather than in years to come. We
could refer to il in years to come
as a great act of love by big
hearted man and / cannot see why
We should not so refer to It now.
IF he didn't love Delaware he
never would show il by acts rather
than words. This good road is bet.
ter than a college to which the we'll
to-do people can send their sons; Il
is the most Democratic way TO give
money by a modern Delawarean. God
made Delaware when he was smiling,
and that smile is featured in her
beauty of springtime' when nature
dons her brightest frock.
1T takes a genuine man of Della
ware to give such a magnificent tes
timony of State love. But let us
hope General dupont will keep the
boulevard east OF the railroad so that
the villages may be united and that
all the people may ever bless du-
Pont. We hope this boulevard will
not be for the automobiles, but the
carriage, the cart and the pedestrian.
Il Is a great thing for this great State
OF Delaware"
Mr.. Handys remarks brought forth
continued applause.
President Smlthers Speaks.
President w. w. Smithers after
cigars had been passed referred 10 the

trip surpassed any spring gathering
ever held by the Sons Of Delaware
The beauty of the country, the pure
air. the open-hearted hospitality, the
decorations and the unequalled kind
ness Of the press all went to make the
occasion a splendid affair Caterers
Ries and Zimmerman. too, deserved
special thanks.
Major Rodney reiterated the good
feeling existing for the visitors and
said that anytime the visitor is well
come to New Castle.
President Smithers said that the
visitors were amazed in Delaware
City at the enterprise of the Whining
ton newspapers. One hour after the
speeches We're delivered in New Cas-
tie they We're being read In THE

AMERICAN LEAGUE STANDING.
AMERICAN LEAGUE.

Washington, April l2.-For the second
time during his term as Chief Executive,
President Taft officially opened the Amer
lean League baseball season today. From
his box in the new grandstand at the
local grounds he tossed the first ball to
Pitcher Dolly Gray of the Washington
team and saw Washington romp away
from Boston in a very ragged game by a
score of s to ).
\ crowd estimated at 1000 breaking all
Washington records, cheered the Itasi-
dent and then forgot all about him when
in the sixth inning the home team, over
coming a lead of four runs piled up by
the visitors in the third and fourth ses-
sions batted Wood out of the box and
scored six runs. Gray, who started in to
pitch fer Washington. gave way to Walk
tr in the sixth. having been removed to
make a place for a substitute batter.
The Boston team did not make n very
good impression, its fielding being decid-
edly off-color 1t was due more to bad
support than poor pitching that Wood
was taken out for the visitors. His re-
moVal did not help matters much. The
game was slowly played in a chill east
wind. The President sat muffied UP in a
heavy fur overcoat throughout the strug-
gle.
"Cncle Nick" Young, former president
of the National League was one of the
prominent spectators.
Walter johnson, Washnston's truant
pitcher. came back from Coffeyville today
and was in uniform. He will not pitch
for several days yet. The score:
