"The Dawn of a Tomorrow"

| Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett's play, | "The Dawn of a Tomorrow" which was presented at the Jefferson theatre last night is unique in conception and it's title
 is one that immediately arrests attention.
 Mrs. Burnett has drawn her characters
 for the most part from the slums of Lon
 don, a field rich in dramatic possibilities
 which has been but little worked by | dramatists whose plays are familiar to l American theatregoers. The central figure
 is young girl, waif of the streets, a ragged gutter rat" whose nameless ori- l gin and a life of poverty and rags have not been able to rob her of her inborn | optimism. She is called Glad and she Is
 would call the sunshine" of Apple Blos- l som court, in London's sordid East End, where crime and misery darken lives more surely and more fatally than London's 1 fogs.
 1 Sir Oliver Holt, a world famous fnancier
 and man of affairs, becomes a nervous
 wreck, as a result of mental strain long
 continued. Eminent specialists pronounce 1 his case hopeless He accidentally over | hears their verdict and decides that he will not wait 10 be shut up In a sani-
 tarlum, but will disappear" He obtains
 a suit of disreputable clothes, such as an i outcast would wear, thrusts a pistol in l his pocket for the purpose of ending his
 life when the opportunity Is ripe, and sets l forth to do the deed in the squalor of | London's East End. As he is stumbling about in the fog and trying to make up
 his mind to blow out his brains, Sir Oli-
 yer meets Glad. The girl rouses him in- | stantly from his self-absorption by her unconquerable optimism. She prevents
 him from killing himself and directs his l thoughts into new channel with such success that the rich Sir Oliver is shortly
 an interested listener, learning the life
 stories of the poor wretches with whom
 he has come into contact.
 1 Glad has a lover who has, according | to his own expression, never had il
 chanst." He is well known to the police
 and when a particularly revolting mur- | der las been committed, Is suspected of
 being implicated. Through his love for | Glad this man, who is named Dandy. l stays away from the scene of the crime
 and his only hope of proving an alibi rests on the nephew and heir of Sir Oli- yer, a dissipated rake, who has set his | heart on possessing the girl.
 There is great deal of detail and rather too much talk for the desired rapidty of action, but the upshot of it all is that Glads belief in the efficiency of prayer, which to her untutored and un- enlightened mind is some sort of trick" and her dauntless efforts in behalf of Dandy, whom she loves, work wonders. Sir Oliver returns to his former haunts visibly restored and just in time to wit ness the consummation of Glad's happi- ness, his sudden and unexpected appear ance being chiefly instrumental in mak- ing his nephew agrees to sustain Dandy's alibi by swearing at Scotland Yard that he saw and spoke to Dandy on Regent

WATSON WILL CALL
 COTTON COMMITTEE

Columbia, s. C., December 12.-E. J. Watson, commissioner of agriculture Of South Carolina, announced tonight that in his capacity of president of the South- ern Cotton congress he would call a.meet- ing of the executive committee of the congress for December 20 in New Or leans, to take steps for the reduction of cotton acreage.
 Tn view of the vital importance of immediately organizing and pushing to a successful issue the matter of secur- ing uniform pledges for reduction of cotton acreage for 1912 from indivdua farmers from one end of the cotton belt to the other" said Mr..

New Orleans, December 12.-After read ing an Associated Press dispatch of the breaking relations between the National and American league, John T. Brush president of the New York Nationals, said that he did not care to make a state ment for publication until communica- tions bearing on the subject had been re- ceived from President Lyncn and other officials. These, he said, were expected shortly.
 They don't seem to know the reason, . was his sole comment after reading the dispatch. MT. Brush is in feeble health and is stopping at a hotel here accom- panied by a trained nurse.

The Age to Retire

The question of the retiring age is an important matter to business and profess sional men, though not perhaps of the same importance to the community. But, indeed, 1t might well be asked by those adopting a high moral and social standard Ought a man to retire at all? Ought he to give up work so long he Is perfectly it for it's performance? The question can not be answered offhand. No man has right to deny benefits to his fellows, but man is not aluways the best judge of how far the benefits that he can supply cannot be supplied equally well by others. Those who know themselves in any real sense may be trusted not to retire with undue haste or to postpone retirement to an un- necessary date. But it is the greatest possible mistake to suppose that the man who retres, whether from the feeling that his course is run or from the desire to benefit by leisure at the close of his life. has necessarily chosen the best path for himself. The accessory circumstances vary so immensely that where the course
 is right for one man it is certainly wrong for another

"Tiberius" at Riinm

At the Mercy of Tiberius" is the strongest book of Augusta Evans Will son in dramatic possibilities, and the dramatist made most of the score of strong scenes in the book As a re- suit the play is becoming more and more popular with theatregoers. as is evidenced by the crowds at the Bijou this week. The play. with a strong company, is proving a greater drawing card than last year, when it established an enviable record.

"Dante's Inferno" at Orpheum

The tortures of the lost souls, as told in Dante's famous poem, are shown with all the realism of the greatest stage production of the twentieth cen tury at the Orpheum theatre this week in motion pictures. They are wonder ful reproductions of q masterpiece of magination, and so true are the pie lures that they effect audiences visibly. The films cost s100,O00 and more than 1000 artists, sculptors, actors and per formers were employed in building the scenes.

New York, December 12-Whirling~ ahead of all records on the 10 lap to the mile track at Madison Square Garden, bicycle riders representing 12 teams had covered at 10 o'clock tonight 94o miles and four laps in 46 hours. This is nearly three miles ahead of the record established by Calvin and Keegan in 1910, 937 miles and five laps.

Holmes head of the bureau This is the first big mine disaster in which these birds have played their saving role, although experiments have been made with them in a number of smaller accidents.
 The canaries, most sensitive to any atmosphere that will not support life, are carried into the mine by the hel- meted rescuers for the purpose of de- tecting the first sign of poisonous gases As soon as the canaries show symptoms of gases volunteers with the hel- meted workers are not allowed to go further and the latter proceed alone. Bodies found beyond this point are brought back as far as this danger line when they are carried out hy the volunteers.

Coast fears Jap Invasion

Just as things seemed to be settling
down for a reasonably smooth run to
the end of the congressional session,
the new Japanese treaty came along
and mussed up the comparative calm
with mutterings OF disapproval from the
Pacific Coast. There is no use trying
to disguise the fact-the Pacific Coast,
which is the locality in this country
having the best knowledge on the sub
ject from actual experience, does not
like the Oriental coolie, whether he
comes from India, China, Japan, or
some other portion of Asia. There are
some parts of the great West Coast
which have not yet developed any seri-
GUS antagonism to the Orientals, but as
general rule the Slope" prefers that
the coolies should stay away. 1t is ar
gued that interracial amalgamation is a
practical impossibility. Lacking this
solution of the racial difficulty there
seems to be no possibility of permanent
dwelling in unity, for the sons of Nip
pom are not content to remain in the
position of an inferior people, and the
Caucasians will never tolerate anything
which looks to the elevation of the Jap
above them in the social scale.
The ratification of the Japanese
treaty will not settle the question.
China may demand that her people be
treated with as much consideration as
those of Japan. and England may de-
mand the same consideration for Hin
docs, who in truth are not excluded
now except by regulations which per
nit the closing of our doors to those
who may seem likely to become "un-
desirable citizens" A large class of
employers would welcome the admis-
sion of cheap oriental labor, but whether
that would be an economic benefit in
the long run may be doubted.

The Use of Tobacco

James R. Day, chancellor Of Syracuse
university, who thinks Rockefeller is
great man and Roosevelt a chump,
breaks long silence by saying he does
not understand the use of tobacco.
We refer him to the works of John
Locke. That famous author of the
Essay on Understanding" fully under
stood and expressed his ideas on the
subject in these words:
Bread or tobacco may be neglected,
but reason recommends their trial, and
custom makes them pleasant.
Lord Bacon, the "wisest of mankind"
was smoker; and Milton, whose soul
was like a STAR" comforted himself
with quiet pipe of Virginia leaf at eve,
when fallen on evil tongues and evil
days.
Byron both chewed and pulled.
Tobacco, used with moderation, tran
quilizes the overstrained mind of the
mature man of letters; makes the toll
worn laborer forget his aches; is the
sailors delight, the soldiers Joy, and
the contemplative PERSONS recreation.
Have you a match?-Boston Globe.
