turned a new page when he penned
the stirring, blood-and-bone story OF
the little family Of Middleburg, N Yp
which, upon the death OF the venerable
head. yielded to the call Of the city.
Had The City" been produced a cen
tury ago. it would now be regarded as
one 0 fthe classics of the stage. But
1t is more generously offered as a
modern drama.
So frequently are the New York
critics quoted that the frequent repeti-
ton must raise the question of doubt
as to the authenticity of the quoted
excerpts. In the case of THE City
lit is only necessary to refere to the
news accounts of the demonstrations
which followed the fall Of the curtain
upon the second act, when the play
was first produced at the Lyric theatre
| in New York. Not for eighteen years
had New York witnessed such an ova'
ton. The whole audience rose with
one accord to cheer the masterful con
ception of the dead author and the
wonderful acting of the company. II
seems but simple justice to the late
Clyde Fitch to record these facts.
The story is simple. The chief ac
tors in this human drama are The
members of the family Of George Rand
banker of Middleburgh, N, T., they
being father, mother and three chill
dren, George, Teresa and Cicely. The
banker is the father of an illegitimate
child. George Hammock, who knowing
that he has something on the ilnan
cier, bleeds him upon various occa
sions. The first scene shows the Il
brary Of the Rand family in Middle
bnurgh. the act eliminating in thu
discovery of the son, George Rand
Jr.. that Hammock is the illegitimatt
child Of his father. The revelation
kills the banker. The natural sol
thereupon besides to remove to New
York. thus listening to the call of thS
city. Believing it is for the best IN
terests of his fathers memory he en-
1 cages Hammock as his private secre
ltary. The second act shows the famll,
ensconed in d beautiful home on Fiftl
j Avenpe. Rand having entered pol
tics, he Is on the eve of being nomi
mated for governor when he makes
second discovery which proves eve
more dramatic than that of the prey
ious act. Hammock dope-iien
lis in love with Cicely Rand, an
when. taken to task by his employe
he confesses that they are married.
: 1t was the desire of Mr.. Fitch tina
, the finash of his story should neve
be made known, that is, in advance
the performance, and the same wis
: has actuated the United Play Compan
2 in withholding the finale OF the seeon
act. Suffice to say that the climax
! one of the strongest ever given a pla,
! The story has been staged with a
:. of those little attentions to deta
e which characterize the Fitch produ
e tions and all United Play Compar
I attractions.

Matters Of the Memory.

Savages have good memories. They
rarely make false or erroneous mo-
tlon. They have mastered their sur
roundings and there are no new
things to distract their attention.
They keep their memory cells un-
crowded. The civilized man is at a
great disadvantage. He sees some
new thing every hour. His brain cells
are a veritable, dancing, whirling,
seething nest OF memories. 1t is not
any great wonder that he cannot re-
call the one he needs just when he
needs It

Governor Haines
at the Unwilling.

At the unwilling Of the Maine Monu-
ment IN Central Park, New York city.
the other night, and previously report
ed by the Kennebec journal, Maine
was represented by her Governor who
was at the last moment called upon 10
speak. and responded. His address i'm
meiiatelv followed that of Coy. Sulzer.
All of the addresses we're brief except
those of former President Taft and
Admiral Sigsbee, because of the num-
by the committee. Responding to their
wish, at an hours notice, Governor
Haines spoke as follows:
The State Of Maine joins in these
ceremonies. and places her floral trib-
ute ON this monument with New York
and the nation in memory of the hon
orable and brave sailors who lost their
lives in the cause of human freedom
and liberty by the blowing up of the
T.. S. s. Maine in February, 1898. This
great disaster in the United States
Navy Will ever be remembered as one
of the horrors of war.
The people of Maine, whose name
this battleship bore, are pleased to as
sist in concentrating this event in
the fullest spirit of respect and patri-
otism with the otlier states and the
nation. such as has always upheld the
honor of our people, and defended the
cause of justice and humanity, either
at home or abroad.
While this monument represents q
sacrifice of human life and establishes
the event as well as it can be done
with metal and stone, vet II is much
more securely established in the memo
ry of our people. and will ever stand
on the pages of our history to our last
ing credit as a self-sacriicing and pat
riotic people.
Every American feels justly proud of
the part we took, and the aid we gave
to secure greater freedom and Wider
opportunity for the people Of Cuba,
through the esta biishment of a civil
government which recognizes the
equality of man:-That it aided in the
establishment of another democratic
republic on the Western hemisphere.
And we can further rejoice today in
the fact that our young sister Republic
is so nobly sustaining herself as an
other Land of the Free and Home of
the Brave" wherein the lives of all
men are respected and made more Sc
cure. May the example Of the history
which this monument represents So
beautifully, forever stand as an en-
enlargement TO all people throughout
the world in their struggles for larg-
er measure of right and justice, and a
greater safety of human life.
