1.-THE Common Law"

Seldom has so much real interest
been aroused in behalf Of the coming
to this city OF the stage version of a
popular novel as is being manifested
towards. THE Common Law" that
most remarkable and unconventional.
sensational work of fiction by Robert
w. Cham bers, which is to be the at
traction at the Bijou theater all this
week and which bids fair TO test the
confidence Of the theater patrons in
the assurance given that $3.50 at
traction viii be offered at popular
prices
The Common Law" 1t will be re-
msmbered, originally appeared in one
Of the popular magazines, which.
through the publication of MIR. Cham
bers' wonderfully clever story in
creased its circulation to more than
the million mark. the finest possible
proof that The Common Law" a
story touching upon the problem Of
marriage. and in which the conven-
tional ties are broadly discussed, had
made an impression very much out of
the ordinary.
1t is not generally known, however,
but is a fact. nevertheless, that the
ending of this sensational story, which
is quite familiar to the readers OF
The Common Law" is entirely due to
the hard pressure of public opinion
brought to bear upon the author who
was compelled to sacrifice his origi-
nal intention and to yield uncondi-
tionally as the last pages were being
made ready for the press, and 1t was
not without some reluctance that the
publishers Of the story were like
wise prevailed upon To surrender to
the sentimental interest of popular
demand with regard to the outcome
of "A discussion as had beer planned by
Mr. Chambers.
No other book of fiction has ever
met with so great success as The
Common Law and doubtless had Mr..
Chambers insisted upon ending the
story as originally written, the inter-
est in il would have sufferd to no
small extent. As the story now ends,
so does the play glorify accepted con-
ventions. and IL Is this ending that
has given the book such an exalted
place in the esteem of even those
whose thoughts are sometimes turn
ed against novels which depend large
~ upon sensational features for pop
ularity.

Bought and Paid For"

According to accurate calculation
more than a half million people en-
ioyed the performance of William A.
Brady's great play. Bought and Paid
For" which played TO capacity busi-
ness at the Playhouse. New York. for
more than. a year and which will be
presented at the Academy for three
days beginning tonight.
This sensational comedy Is unlike
any work given to the stage in a
score of years, and its phenomenal
triumph is greatly due to this fact.
The attraction has been offered in
several cities for special return en-
gagements, and invaribly the scond
engagement is even more prosper
Gus than the first.
Several recognized dramatic crit
les throughout the South have termed
this big play the contagious COM
edy," which means that theatergoers
may enjoy the performance a second
time more than the first. A most
excellent cast will be seen In the play.
The production is elaborate and COM
plete in every detail. a special
matinee will be given Wednesday.

short time ago President Comiskey, Of

sidered Walsh the greatest pitcher
that ever graced the mound. In talk

held in the bank on Tuesday night.
A strange dog, supposed to have been
rabid, held a crowd at bay in Stern's de-
partment store, after biting William
Jacobs on the leg, until policeman
Noshell lassoed the cur, dragged it to
the street and shot it.
A. c. Roberts is building two of the
most substantial solid brick houses in

Automobile Cases

A number of violations of the motor
vehicle law have been considered by
Commissioner Lppincott, at Trenton,
and on Tuesday he was busy man. He
listened to about score of complaints.
Among them were charges for exceeding
the speed limit, reckless driving, using
numbers that belonged to other people,
not stopping when SO ordered to do by
an inspector, taking up more than the
drivers share of the road, and so on.
Frederic Morless, of Pointville, was
given reprimand. He was ordered to
stop on the highway by one of the in
spectors of the department, but refused
to do SO. 1t was learned later that the
defendant had no drivers license, but
when he decided to comply with the law
the commissioner informed him that he
would only enter a reprimand, but that
if he was complained of again his license
would be summarily revoked.
Endorsing the views of Commissioner
Lippincott, of the department of motor
vehicles, regarding the protection of grade
crossings, Chairman A. G. Batchelder,
of the executive board of the American
Automobile Association, has written to
MIR. LippincOtt suggesting the adoption
OF the international road signs, or signal
code, which has been approved by the
association.
The association has made arrange
ments to supply these signs to clubs in
cluded in its membership, each club to
post the signs in it's immediate territory.
The five signs in common use are to in
dictate crossroads, a turn to the right, a
turn to the left, dangerous descent and
a railroad crossing, which may or may
not be protected by gate. The signs
can be read at glance at full speed.
