MAY IRWIN IN
 sGETTING A POLISH,

The sale of seats for the forth coming engagement of May Irwin in her latest New York success, the Tar kington- Wilson comedy, Getting a Polish,' at Elks Theatre next We'd nesday, March 15. begins Monday, March 13 at the box office. There is every reason why the sale should be heavy one, in fact, every appear ance of Miss Irwin on tour, since her recent long run in New York, is said to have been greeted with a crowded house.
 At Wallack's Theatre, New York Getting a Polish" achieved the cred- 1t of chalking up long metropoli- tan run of four months, and it has every right to the great success as- signed to it by advance reports. In the first place, Miss Irwin's personal popularity is the sure cure for the dollars, her popular personality sure cure for the blues. In a second-rate play, she would be
 worth seeing, but the authors of The Man From Home" are not very apt to provide her with merely a eecond-rate play. Add the prestige Of the authors to the popularity of the star, and May Irwin in Getting Polish'' is unQuestionably a suc- cess-compelling institution.
 As in all her starring career, Miss Irwin has never had play by auth ors of the stand ng, cleverness, and skill of Tarkington and Wilson, so . has she never bsfpre had the manag erial backing of so established and well-rated firm as Liebler & Go l. pany. To say that a cast and pro- duction 'sare up to the well known Lebler and Co.,. standard has come to be a catch-word with ' dramatic writers throughout the country. signifying that no more be said in its favor Every assurance is giv- en that the cast supporting Miss Ir win in Getting a Polish" and the pro- auction of the play, will be "up to the we'll known Hebler and Conlpa- ny standard.'

almost always portrayed by Shakes
 peare and all other dramatists as soft

almost always portrayed by Shakes peare and all other dramatists as soft and tender things, beloved but with out brains. Portia, however, acted the man for an hour and won cen- turies of fame." Women characters are much more simple to interpret, but all characters are thinking parts, and it requires hard study and deep thought in order to follow the track of the masculine mind-this is what she likes.
 After the production of this new play, Mime. Bernhardt will make a farewell tour of Europe, and then re- tire from the stage for good This does not mean that she will give up her interests in dramatics, for she intends to teach-to educate men and women for the profession, as they should be educated. "A girl who has selected a theatrical career" she says, should study everything-lit- erature, history, science, art. life. She should study the expressions of portraits and the expressions of liv- ing faces, gestures and significant movements. Finally, she would be- gin to see with the eyes of an artist. The principal thing, however is to learn how to breath and to reflect seriously.
 And no one could be more supreme ly qualified for such task, than she, who in her youth was taught by those great masters, Provost and Sampson, and who for thirty years, has wielded her dramatic sceptor in every cline; lauded and praised throughout the hemis pheres and acknowledged un- animously as the greatest dramatic artist the world has ever known. Born a genius with many natural talents, she has, not only devoted her life to the stage, but has also found time to become a sculptress of worth and painter of some renoun. In her sfxty-seven years she has ac- uuired a knowledge of life that sur masses most human understandings. Ii this marvellous woman is not sup remedy qualified to be an instructor Of dramatics in the highest artistic sense-there is no other, for she stands alone.
 l Yet for those of us who love her, this decision to retire in two years brings a pang of sorrow and regret a feeling as if dear beloved friend was parting from us forever. Mad anne Bernhardt will appear at the Capital Theatre Little Rock, Friday March 1Oth

FAMILY ABSENT
 HOME IS BURNED
Bad Fire Threatened Residences in 800 Block on Pine Street Yes.
 terday Morning.

As J. c. Witt, travelling salesman. residing at No. 806 Pine street, was boarding southbound Iron Mountain passenger train No 1O5 yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock for a trip south on that railroad, the local wat erworks turned on high pressure for the fire department to fight flames that enveloped his home and which before they could be extinguished, to- tally destroyed the house and it's con- tents MT. Witt left and had no knowledge that his house was at that time being consumed. The, flames had been discovered by residents in the neighborhood after the entire iu- trior of the house was burning and smoke and fire was pouring out of the windows
 The fire department was notified and rushed to the scene. Before the firemen reached the place, however, nefghbors had knocked down ti e doors. This gave the fire a daft inside and within few seconds the roof was mass of flames and the, were leaping from the Witt home to the two story house of F. w. Eek. On the adjoining lot, only a few feet from the burning building. On the other side of the Witt residence is the home of w. T. Brasher, the well known druggists, and the flames had scorched his home before the fire men got them under control.
 The origin of the fire in the Witt home is unknown. MT. Witt spent Tuesday Tight at home as did also w. A. Reyburn, a machinist at the Cotton Belt shops, and his two sons who have rooms in the house. Mrs. Witt is at present visiting in Cairo. H., and the home was unat- tended when the fire was discovered. Nothing was saved from the house.
 Only the most effectiv fire fighting prevented the fire from leaving the Witt residence and destroying several other homes. When the flames leap- ed from the burning building they swept over the building adjoining owned by F. w. Eek and occupied by William Eisenkramer, and a part of that house was badly burned and damaged by water. Mr Brasher's home was only scorched by the in- tense heat.
 William Eisenkramer owned the burned building. He places his loss at $2,000 on the house, which is cov- e5 led by insurance. He also lost considerably when the furniture in his residence was maged by water.
 The loss to MT. Wits household furnishing could not be estimated and it isI not known whether he carried insurance. MT. Reyburn and sons lost all of their personal effects ex- cept what they were wearing yester- day, and the loss to MT. Eck's build ing, occupied by William Eisenkram- er, is estimated at several hundre dollars. The damage to MT. Brasn- er'sI home was slight.

Wood Will Be Substituted
by Rubber and Cork
Combination.
ORIGINAL CENTERS
MADE OF RUBBER
Substance Not Responsive Enough
and Affected the
Shape.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

E. B. Moore, Commissioner of Patents,
through the office of Robert H. Young,
son Of the former president of the Ma
tional League. today issued letters of
patent to Ben Shibe, of Philadelphia,
for a new center for use in baseballs
which is expected to radically change
the spheres which are now being used
in the national sport.
In 1888 the first patent for a baseball
was issued TO Shibe, calling for rub
Der center, and this was used contin
nally until two years ago, when the
cork center was substituted. Immedi-
ately this added greatly to the free
hitting, and from many quarters there
were demands for changes. 1t was main
tained that the fight and bound of the
ball has been uncertain, that while
long drives were increased, the field
ing suffered, and that the science OF the
game was greatly interfered with.
Cork Centers Still Used.
At different times there have been re-
ports that the cork center had been
discarded and the rubber center re-
stored to the game. This, however, has
been denied by those who manufacture
the spheres, and Ban Johnson, president
of the American League, is the latest
TO announce that the cork center is
still in use and will be continued for
the remainder of the season at least.
The ball which was today patented Is

The Glidden toua was esta bIished about
eight years ago, and has been one of
the classic fixtures in the world Of auto

a great purpose in stimulating interest
In touring, and has also given manu-
racturers an excellent opportunity to
try out their new models and find out
any defects in the mechanism. In late
years, however, petty chickering's among
the ofhcials in charge of the tour have
had the effect of giving the event a
black eye. Last years renewal resulted
In a controversy between two automo-
bile manufacturing companies as to
which won the trophy. The matter was
taken into court and dragged along for
a year, finally being settled last month
in favor of the Chalmers Company.
The passing of the Glidden tour will

The Pepco team had little trouble
! defeating the champion Andrews
| team yesterday. in a game that was
slow and listless after the first two
innings.
The game went but five and a half
innings because of rather listless
playing. on the side Of the losers.
Hanvey, who pitched the first three
innings struck out nine men, not a
player getting a put out. except the
catcher. He was, however, found for
six hits, at opportune times, and these
Lpled with several errors netted
Pepco a total OF seven runs.
The Canaries greatly missed their
star pitcher, Drummer; His battery
mate, Moore, was behind the plate,
but suffered a broken finger in the
second inning that may put him out
Of the post-season series, incidentally
greatly weakening the Andrews
team.
Ted" Sullivan, of Pepco, led with
the stick, connecting with two singles
and a three bagger out Of three times
up.
Yesterday closed the schedule for
the Pepco team, and it was a most
successful one. Starting with a per-
centage below the 400 mark, the
team has, by consistent playing won
every game played, eight in number.
By the sportsmanlike actions, the
team has won the approval of players
and fans alike, and IT is hoped that

bases full and two out, Heaney caught
