PINAFORE CAST TO
SKYLARK TONIGHT

Tonight is the closing performance
of "Pinafore,' the Hope Farm bene-
fit, after a week and half of play
ing to crowded and enthusiastic
houses. Judging by the capacity aud
ience of last night, there will not
be much spare'room except for ayia-
tors in the Garrick this evening. The
first cast will sing tonight, and sang
last night with the exception of Mr..
Van Leer, who was kept away by a
Philadelphia engagement but viii
take his part tonight. So insistent
have been the demands for more Pima
fore that It is probable the company
could continue playing to full houses
for several weeks. but the strain of
so many performances. especially
where many Of the cast and chorus
are busy people through the day. is
already being felt by the participants.
They have not showed a trace of It
in their acting, but are giving a pro-
duction of the highest quality. It
would be impossible to do justice TO
all those taking part short of a page
or two but al that has been printed
in praise can be repeated with en-
phasis
II is rumored that the "Pinafore'
first cast which sings for the last time
tonight Is going 10 do some skylark-
ing on their farewell occasion. This
is our night they say. and certainly
the management ought to give them
free play for fun and frolicking All
this will make It gayer for the aud
fence. and It is no wonder that seats
are almost sold ont for this last
chance TO see "Pinafore" by the viii
mington talent which has scored a
phenomenal run.

By The United Press
COLUMBUS o. May 22--"Theo-
dore Roosevelt will be nominated on
the first ballot at Chicago" said Wal
ter F. Brown, the Roosevelt manager
In Ohio, here today. There is every
evidence that Taft is impossible, and
that evidence is contained in the vote
OF yesterday IN Ohio, which was a
victory for the Progressive move
ment
mo reactionsry will be acceptable
to the people, who have voted against
Taft The nominee will be a pro-
pressive. OF course, the most con
spicuous progressive today is Roose-
welt
with at least thirty votes from
Ohio. Roosevelt will have enough
votes to nominate hfm without getting
a single vote from New Jersey or
South Dakota
Brown said Roosevelt has won one
delegate each in the Third and Fiji
teenth districts, two each In the
Fourth, Fifth Sixth Eighth Ninth,
Tenth. Eleventh. Twelfth, Fourteenth,
Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth,
Nineteenth. Twentieth and Twenty-
first. giving him a total of thirty-two
He comedies Taft the delegates in the
First, Second. Seventh. Thirteenth
and one each in the Third and Fiji
teenth, total of ten
In a personal message to Roose-
yelt Brown said
I'VE have thirty delegates sure. and
possibly thirty-three'
l.. G. Laylin. Tafts manager, claims
the President has carried the sec
ond. third, sixth and fifteenth and
possibly the thirteenth and seven
teenth, a total of ten sure and a pos
sible fourteen Laylin refused to
discuss the possibility of Tafts with
drawal as a result OF the Roosevelt
landslide in Ohio and dismissed the
subject with this comment
"We are Ohioans and We are for
Ohio
In many quarters, however, there
was much gossip that Taft would
withdraw and that Senator Root, OF
New York. would be backed by the
Taft forces in the convention. Harmon
headquarters today continued to clam
that Harmon had carried all but the
twentieth and twenty-first districts.
Returns from 1851 precincts out of
5.163 precincts in the state received
and tabulated at noon, gave Governor
Harmon 43.755 votes and Wilson. a.

BIG RETURN FROM DOLLAR

For a dollar given TO a stranger
eight years ago Joseph Clair. Phila-

tate of over $125,00 Eight years ago
a man who was evidently suffering
from the effects of the night before
came into the drug store and told
Clair that he was up against it, had
spent his last cent and needed enough
to get bite to eat. He asked for a
quarter.
After a short talk Clair gave the
man dollar and the stranger depart
ed with the remark: You'll never re-
greet this, young man. 1t will be rich
ly repaid"
Clair forgot the incident Five
years ago the man again came into the
store and recalling the dollar loan
made the druggist present OF hand
some gold-headed cane. Clair did not
forget the matter so quickly then, but
he was thoroughly surprised a few

give them little fresh air by opening

they found that they were the objects
of considerable attention. A crowd oil

increased to 1000, the people utteriRg

USES OF FINGER PRINTS

In the Argentine Republic the
Identification cards of policemen,
coachmen, cab drivers, commission
aires and servants have, since 1896,
borne their finger-prints. Upon all
passports and bank receipts for de-
posits the imprint of the thumb must
be made at the time of delivery. In
Roumania, since 1903, the thumb
print has been substituted for the
cross made instead of signature by
persons who cannot write. In the
Philippine islands those who cannot
write are not obliged to be identified
by witnesses at savings banks, but
merely have to make their mark with
their thumb. The same system has
been used in the banks of Bengal for
fifty years. In France, to put an end
to the fraud of enlistment, desertion
and re-enlistment for the bounty paid
