The Summit Bridge Shooting Case
James Powell, a 13-year-old boy,
who some weeks ago shot George
Fox, clerk of the Summit Bridge
school district, was before the Court
of General Sessions Monday morn
ing, charged with assault. The
shooting took place in the school
building when the clerk of the dis
trict attempted to have the boy
leave the room. Deputy Attorney
General Wolcott stated to the court
that an application had been made
to parole the young offender but
that the attorney generals Office
was opposed to this. He said there
had been considerable trouble with
boys in that vicinity and as a re,
suit some months ago one colored
boy was killed. Mr.. Wolcott SAID
the State was anxious to break uI
the deeds of violence and therefor
objected to Powell being paroled as
it would not give the State sufficient
control over the boy. He said,
however, that the State would be
willing to retire the case pending
the boys good behavior and thai
Miss Cam, who is his school,
teacher at the present time. haC
agreed TO look after him. Judge
Rice explained to the youthful de-
fendant that by retiring the case,
the State could call it up ana try
him at any time that he misbe
haved. He also warned the boz
not to carry weapons and to b.
obedient to Miss Cam and hi
parents. The case was thereupoi
retired.

A Bold Deed at chestertown

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
I. Pippin, on Washington avenue,
Chestertown, Md. was entered at
eleven o'clock Thursday night by
thief, but owing to the bravery of
Mrs. Pippin the attempt was unsuc-
cessful. The thief entered the back
room where Mr.. Pippin was asleep,
took his pants from a chair near
his bed, walked through the middle
room where the boys were asleep
and was going down the front stairs,
dragging the trousers. Mrs. Pippin
was in the front room awake and
saw the thief's shadow. She got
up, went to the bureau and got a
pistol and yelled to the thief, ''drop
them" and at the same time called
Mr.. Pippin. Mr.. Pippin came
promptly and saw his wife, with
pistol in hand. pointing down the
stairs. He realized at once what
had happened, but his wife assured
him that the money was safe. The
thief had dropped the pants and
made his escape out the open front
door. Mr.. Pippin drew about $1OO
from bank Thursday in order TO pay
his men and during the evening had
counted the money in public on his
dining room table and before retir-
ing placed his money in his pants
pocket. He went to bed at ten
O'Clock and the thief was going
down stairs as the clock struck
eleven. Mrs. Pippin's wonderful
presence of mind and nerve saved
the money. A warm reception will
be given the next one.

MADE HIMSELF BLUSH.
Trick by Which an Actor Achieved 4
Realistic Stage Effect.

FiSH m ~SA0T SS"fSVoo q
Realistic Stage Effect.
Daniel Frohman in his Memories
Of a Manager" tells of muscular
trick by which Mr.. F. F. Mackay
achieved an astonishing stage effect.
1t was in Bronson Towards Zone Of
Our Girls" Mr.. Mackay was playing
the part of a French count, who, in
one Of the chief situations of the play.
is slapped in the face with glove
by an English officer. Mr.. Towards
idea was that the count should become
violent and furious at the affront, but
Mr. Mackay contended that as he had
been shown in the play to be an expert
duelist and accustomed to danger he
was not likely to lose control of him
self.
Mr.. Howard saw the point. The re-
suit was that the Frenchman received
the insult without the movement of a
muscle He stood rigid. Only fash
of the eye for an instant revealed his
emotion. Then the audience saw his
face grow red and then pale. This
was followed by the quiet announce
ment from the count that he would
send his seconds to the Englishman
This exhibition of facial emotion be-
trayed by the visible rush of blood to
the actors face was frequently noted
at the time. 1t was a muscular trick
Mr.. Mackay put on a tight collar for
that scene and strained his neck
against it until the blood came. and
when he released the pressure and the
blood receded the effect was reached.

A Coral Pima.

While a United States warship was
Off Barbados a few years ago a sailor
who was amusing himself fishing for
sharks brought up from the depths a
long "churchwarden" pipe that evil
IDENTITY had been lying at the bottom Of
the sea for a hundred years or more.
1t was unbroken and had either been
accidentally dropped overheard or
washed out of some old wreck. The
coral insects had seized upon it and
covered the long stem with delicate.
lacelike branches and the bowl with
fine ''vermicelli" work. So completely
was 1t concealed with the coral coating
that it was impossible to determine
the original material of the pipe. Oddly
enough. the inside of the bowl had
been left untouched and still showed
the stains Of FIRE and nicotine.-New

The fashion Of keeping little dogs as

Both Greek and Roman women used to

Even men usually foreigners were
not ashamed to stroll about the Roman

That the public never masticates
Never selects. Never discriminates
That an exposition of dramatic art

Drama Leagues amuse them.
Because they have fed the voracious
beast too long with what it wants Or
thinks it wants. Or they think it

The truth is that the actor and the
public are farther apart than ever be-
fore in the history of the theatre
Because of the misconception each
has of the others province.
