feminine characteri2ations, will be
seen at the Valentine theator Thurs

his new comedy with music "Ihe
Fascinating Widow, which is from
the pen of the prolific writer's OF
MADAME sherry" "Thc Girl of My
Dreams" and other successes in the
musical field. OF course, any man
can masquerade as woman, but to
act sing and dance like Julian FL
tinge in the new comedy without
even a change in his voice, is dill
cult undertaking. lie is the most
talked of actor in America Tor the
reason that he makes women curious
when he appears in the smartest OF
feminine frocks. In the first act Oh
the new show he appears as Iial
Blake, a popular and athletic junior
of X. college. He wants to marry
Margaret Lefnngwell, the charming
daughter of the matron of the girl
section of the co-educational institu-
ton. Oswald Wentworth, an unsup-
portable sophomore, is also suitor
for the hand of Margaret Letting
we'll. Oswald has been spreading
stories of Hal Blake's escapade which
provokes that youth to smite his OF
Tending rival who decides to have
his pugilistic rival arrested, and
the athletic student is compelled to
flee. He is not gone long, however,
when he returns so completely dis
guised as a fascinating widow, tina.
even the chums whom he has let int
the secret, rub their eyes in amaze
ment and doubt whether the capt
waiting young woman is really thei.
student companion.
Throughout the play, Mr.. Elting'
is given unlimited latitude to eXhibi
his marvellous powers as well a.
graceful dancing and pleasing sing
ing. He is also given opportunity to
display wardrobe whose cost
amounts into the thousands.

HOW TALKING SIGNS WORK
Mechanism of These Changing EIee'
trio Light Bulletins Is Intricate
but Operates Easily.

The electric light talking sign was
introduced to New York about ten
years ago, one of the earliest if not
the first one displayed being that at
Broadway and Thirty-sixth street. BY
changing the firm or goods to be adver
tised such a sign becomes perma'
nent investment. This possibility Is
of equal value to the advertiser, for 1t
Is Of course less expensive to hire such
service for a desired length of time
than to erect large sign for his own
exclusive use.
One of these talking signs, which is
rs feet long, has letters feet Eigh and
4 feet broad. The space Is divided into
fifteen monograms, as they are called
Each of these monograms contains
forty-eight changes. That is, forty
eight letters and numerals can be
shown in successfully in that one AXIS
perforated by forty lamps which form
the forty-eight combinations.
The changes are controlled by q
rather intricate arrangement which
according to the Edison Monthly, con
sists OF a motor with commutator
for each monogram. BY system OF
metal dogs, not unlike the Yale lock
in principle. the arrangement can be
so adjusted beforehand that the prop
er connections are made with each
revolution of the commuatator to
form the letters and figures wanted In
a certain order. REIMBURSEMENT can be
made as often as desired, so that II
the owner needs to have a new mes
| sage each night he has only to plan
mt the combinations. .-

NERVOUS in PUBLIC
MANY WoRLD.FAMED SPEAKERS
NEVER OVERCOME THIS.
with Some It Persists as Mannerisms
--Yawn and Handkerchief of Late
Duke of pevonshire-Glad-
stones Peculiar Actions.

Persons who are unaccustomed to
nervousness is solely due to their in
experience, and that public men can
make speeches as coolly as they make
conversation. In some cases this may
be so, but few speakers are ever able
wholly able to cast off their nervous
ness. Sometimes it persists only in
the form of a mannerism, attractive or
otherwise, but some old parliamentari-
ans never escape from the tremors
and terrors which shook them when
their maiden speech was delivered.
The late duke of Devonshire is usu-
ally spoken of as the perfect type of
the impassive Englishman When he
entered the house of commons as Lord
Cavendish he distinguished himself
by prefacing his maiden speech with
q prodigious yawn. But he was by no
means as languid in fact as he was
in appearance.
When he rose to speak he would
lean one arm on the nearest of the
two iron-bound boxes on the table be-
tween the front benches. After a
slight hesitation and few quiet
words the other hand would steal to
the tail pocket of his coat and emerge
holding a neatly-folded white cambric
handkerchief. Without unfolding it
he would gently rub the corners of his
mouth, and this done, the hand, still
holding the handkerchief would rest
On the hip or be thrown back.
Sitting near him, one could observe
that the grip on his handkerchief
tightened, and that the muscles of the
hand were in continuous action. At

folded cambrc handkerchief, but only
| Il solid, greasy ball, which was quick
| iy returned to the pocket Here was
| the safety valve for the impassive no.
| bleman's nervousness.
Gladstone was one in whom nerv-
! BUSINESS had become mannerism.
When he rose to speak he began with
few gracious words on the speech
which was about to follow, or some
| pointed remark as to the character
and Importance OF the subject. In
his earlier days this was, no doubt
to "get his breath"
His next act was to raise his right
hand over his head with the thumb
bent down and gently scratch his
skull That is rather common among
public speakers. The third action OF
Mr.. Gladstone was his peculiar and
individual sign. Throwing his arms
downward by his side, he would with
his fingers seize the cuffs of his coat
and draw these down over his shirt
cuffs so as to conceal them complete
ly. The ordinary practice is just the
reverse, the desire being to expose
and not conceal the white linen o.
the shirt cuffs. These were the in
variable preludes to the great com
moner's speeches.-Pall Mall Maga

Mr.. Claptrap arrived at the circula.
ting library the other day with his
hands full of small packages and as
cross as two sticks because his wife
had asked him to fulfill some commits
sions for her while he was out. With
a look which was just as disagreeable
as he felt he handed to the little Ii
bri.rian a list which he had made to
aid his memory.
"My wife wants these books" he
said gruiIly. "Be quick about getting
them, if you please. I'm in great
hurry"
The girl, who was a trife shy and
inexperienced, flushed, and, saying
that he should have the books direct
ly, went to look for them. She was
gone some time and when she re.
turned he glarSl at her Indignantly
and asked il she expected him to
wait all day"
I'm very Sorry" she apologized,
but you see I've been looking for the
last book on the list. Here are the
other three, but 'Hairpins and Castor
OH | can't find and-and I'm afraid 1t

"Good heaveIrs!" groaned Mr.. Clap
trap, quite crestfallen. "Did put those
things down in the book list"

On the facade of the Palaz2o Vec-
chic at Florence, to the right of the
central entrance, the profile of n
mans head is traced on the marble,
the authorship of which is ascribed
to Michael Angelo. The story runs
that he and a friend made bet as to
which of them would draw a head
best with their backs to the wall, a
bet easily won by Michael Angelo,
for he traced a perfect profile, where
as the other produced only a waver-
ing, imperfect outline. The story
further relates that the tool used was
a nail! Both drawings are carefully
preserved.

is LATEST MAN ON EARTH
Sea-Faring Man Discovers Him In
Person of Chief of the Solomon
Islands.

In all probability the LATEST man on
earth has been discovered by sea-
faring men who had occasion to stop
at the Solomon Islands of the East
Indies not long ago. Those Islands are
inhabited by tribes of black men
known to the sailors as Kanakas.
The ruler over the islands Of Chois'
enc and Caristoval is one Of these
Kanakas, known as Chief Sonoa. The
Kanakas are almost invariably short
and very heavily built, but Chief Sonoa
is the shortest and fattest one of the
bunch, weighing in the neighborhood
of 965 pounds. He is not only the
blacklist, fattest and LATEST, but he
has more wives than any other chief
in that neighborhood.
One of the sailors who visited these
islands said that "his majesty would
lie in the sands of the beach while his
favorite wife would sit beside him and
smoke. She would draw mouth full
of the smoke into her lungs. The chtei
would open his mouth, the faVorite
would blow the smoke into 1t and he
would inhale it into his lungs, after
which he would let it pass out his
nose. Time after time would the wife
chosen for this job blow the smoke
into her chiefs mouth, and time after
time he would take it into his lungs to
let it pass out of his nose. The to
bacco used was the strongest that
could be had, and with it was rolled
some kind of leaf that would bring on
sleep. A truly luxurious being is this
dusky king"
