The TheQterS

Edwin Wolcott, in "The Devil,
which is being presented at the Muir
ray the first part of this week, domi-
mates the others of the cast, and gives
an excellent and convincing imperson-
alton of this more or less celebrated
theatric character.
The version of the play used by the
LeWis-Oliver company is the Belasco
W hich differs somewhat from those put
out under other management at the
time of the international controversy
concerning the production of the
drama, and it's finale is rather unsatis-
factory, leaving the situation rather
dangling in the air.
In vizualizing the spirit of evil, as is
the conception of the character of
THE Devil" and symbolizing the men,
tai processes of those who enter into
the story of the play, and yet giving
a convincing presentment of physical
personality neither bizarre nor exag-
eerated, Mr.. Wolcott showed his posi-
tive talents as an actor. To preserve
an artistic balance with an impersona-
ton of this sort is not without difficult
~ and Mr.. Wolcott maintained it as
we'll as has been seen through other
More pretentious theatric mediums.
Miss Mable Frost played the part of
the tempted woman with discrimina-
ton and Mr.. Darlington her lover in
excellent taste.
Miss Milton did well the inconspicu-
Gus role of the model although does
not adjust her makeup to the local
lighting, her lack of sufficient color de-
tracing from the physical effect of her
several recent appearances.

COUNCIL SHELVES
HOSPITAL MATTER
Appoints Two City Members
of Hospital Board and
Ends the Incident.

The Reid Memorial hospital ques-
ton, which has occasioned SO many
turbulent scenes in council, was final
ly disposed of at the session of coun-
Gil last evening. Councilman Matthew
Won Pein and City Controller McMa-
han were chosen as the city members
of the hospital board of trustees and
regularly elected to fill these positions.
The committee recently appointed to
| name two members of the city gov
eminent for these two positions made
! it's report last evening, which, with
out a moments discussion, was &C
! cepted viva voce.
This action, it is thought, will termi-
nate the hospital squabble, involving
the desires of the doctors to have rep
| resentation on the board. Whether
/ the doctors will continue the agitation
is not known, but council, by it's &C
tion last evening Terminated the ques-
ton so far as it is concerned.
Messrs. Won Pein and McMahan,
after their election, made short
speeches, 'voicing their willingness to
serve to the best of their ability. Won
Pein laughingly said the position was
one likely to get him into humble
bees nest"
The committee report follows:
To the Mayor and Common Council of
the City of Richmond:
Your committee appointed to select
two members for the city to sit with
the members Of the Reid Memorial
hospital board as representatives of
the city, desire to submit the names
of Edward. G. McMahan of the ad-
ministrative department of the city,
and Matthew Won Pein, of the legisla-
tive department of the city. Sound
business men and careful accountants
/ are needed to efficiently fill these po-
sitions Of Importance and trust, we be-
lieve. and submit that these men are
admirably qualified for these positions.
The city is annually called upon to
make large donation to the hos
pital, and the city should be protected
and know the exact status of the fl
nancial affairs of the hospital before
any money is donated, we believe. We
believe these men can fill these po-
Isitions with honor.
Having discharged the duties we
were called upon to do, we ask that
we be discharged from further serv-
Nee on this committee.
I Respectfully submitted,
Chairman, John Thatcher,
Harry Vessel,
John Burdsall,
Frank Waidele.

There was something sinister I'm the
way he spoke of the morning-like a
convicted prisoner, coming up to be
sentenced at the afternoon sitting OF a
court.
Where is this man, Egan Bedford 2"
said Randolph Mason.
Winfield Gerry lifted his face in
surprise. "You surely know Egan

FIRST THINGS

Today is the birthday of two Amer ican cities, Detroit and Salt Lake City On this date in 1701 the site of the Michigan metropolis was settled by French colonists under De la Motte OdilIa, and Fort Pontchartraip was built as a defense against the In- dians, who were not always friendly. Owing to it's strategic situation, De troit has never been without mlll' tary garrison since it's founding. The city has changed it's flag five times. has owed allegiance to three different sovereigns, has been the scene Of. dozen massacres and fifty battles. and was once utterly destroyed by fire. Tn the last ten years Detroit made the greatest gain in population of any of the great American cities, and now ranks ninth among the municipalities of the United States, with fully halr a million souls within it's limits.
 Salt Lake City was founded by the Mormons sixty-five years ago today.

Vienna, July 24.-The Austrian government must have it's dues even if it has to attach the coffin in which a man takes his last sleep. An un- dertaker in little town near Prague failed to pay $2 taxes last week. The Tax Collector sent an official to at- tach anything that he could find. He found but one coffin, which the un- .dertaker said was valued at $14, and without looking into it posted the government seal on the lid. In the coffin was a corpse. When friends came to bury it an hour later, the undertaken pointed to the tax seal It required several hours to raise the $14, tax and penalty, and the funeral proceeded.
