THE CITY AND RICHMOND COLLEGE,


What will the new Richmond College
do for this community? This is a per
tinent question, suggested by the beau
tllui buildings and imposing grounds
wherein the physical fabric of a splen-
ana institution is now being realized at
Westhampton. Richmond has already
Just cause for pride in this addition to
It's panorama. 1t is also grateful for
the past service rendered the intellec-
tual life of the people. Yet if the new
buildings mean anything, they must
mean n larger service and n more vital
influence upon all the higher activities
of the city. We can reasonably expect
much of Richmond College in it's en-
larged opportunities
The chance for intellectual and es-
thetic leadership waits to he seized.
NOW there is no central living organ
ism from which we can expect light.
sweetness or culture. The need for
such nobler facts OF civilization has
been driven home in many WAYS. In
many fields Richmond must frankly
confess ignorance. Richmond College.
through it's faculty, through It's grad
yates, and through its invisible spirit
ual life can mould finer city and erect
ideals OF citizenship for the coming gen
crations.
Many city colleges suffer the dryrot
of the home thing. They fail to invest
themselves with the spirit of learning
and of the love for truth. They become
the rather mechanical capstones of the
lower schools, made from below in
stead OF creating from above They
aim at training boys and girls for i'm
mediate ends, rather than for the
glories of a full and spacious life Be
cause they exist in n city where hun
dreds OF other interests pull the stu
dent away from the gifts OF his alma
mater. they do not arouse college
spirit" which in the end is much more
than enthusiasm over athletic victories
or class fights. Richmond College will
have to combat this lethargy by
vigorous participation In the full flood
of city life. This will help the CITY by
making real the standards of learning
and enlightenment. 1t Will help the
college by training its students in the
very sphere of their future labors.
The college must be more than a
mere place OF books and examinations
leading TO degrees. il should lift art,
literature and the drama to n worthy
place. 1t should teach men politics in
the best and ancient sense of the gov
eminent of cities. 1t should train
workers for social service. 1t should
spread it's own riches through the
teachers, journalists and lawyers it
sends out. 1t should regard Richmond
and the life of Richmond's people as
its charge.
Best of all, 1t will offer a place where
women can receive the help of higher
education. There will no longer be
any excuse for having a girl stop
learning after the high school At
/ small cost here she should be able to
realize the fullest reach of her own
I possibilities. This duty alone, wisely
/ done, will make Richmond College very
/ dear 10 many. We trust that this new
altar OF truth may light many dark
spots and inspire our youth to great
! achievements

Mr.. Kinks and tho Doghousc.

Mr. Binks is the sort of a man who

to come to build doghouse for

1t was first necessary to find the
proper location in the back yard for
the doghouse. n place where il would
not be too sunny and not TOO shady.
Mr.. Binks and the carpenter spent
one day picking out the site. Then
tney drew the plans. 1t was not to
be anything fancy. for Quccnie was

really didn't want the doghouse as
much as he wanted somebody. pre-

Mr. Binks would think 1t over.
Mr.. Binks sat on the back steps five

EMOTIONAL HIT BY
MISS BROWNELL

Mrs. Danes Defense" strong
play full of human interest and pathos
and well suited to the emotional side
of Miss Mabel Brownell, is the at
traction at the Orpheum Theatre this
week. The usual packed house greet
ed the popular stock company when
the curtain arose on the first act last
night and both Miss Brownell ana
Mr.. Stork received many curtain calls
for their good work. The play is in
four acts and written by Henry Ar
thur Jones.
The play deals with the price paid
for the breaking of one of the conf
mandments and was strongly inter-
preted by as excellent a stock COM
pany, as it has ever been the writer's
pleasure to see. When but an inno-
cent country girl, Mrs. Dane commit
ted a serious indiscretion without
even the excuse of love. Later she
has high love come to her, but the
story of her early life is disclosed, and
in the end she willinly renounces her
lover and goes away to fight her grief
alone.
Miss Brownell was cast as Mrs.
Dane. Her handling of the scene
with Sir Daniel Carteret in the third
act when she is cross examined by
the famous English barrister in refer
ence to her past life, and in heart
rending and pitiless manner, COM
plete confession Is drawn from her. is
wonderful.
Clifford Stork, as Sir Daniel Car
teret the English barrister, was good
but, in the opinion of the writer, this
being the first time he has had the
pleasure of seeing either Miss Brown
ell or Mr.. Stork, was badly cast, and
will show better in other plays that
are scheduled to be shown later. Ed
ward Van Sloan, as the adopted son
of Sir Daniel Carteret, and in love
with Mrs. Dane, was very good. but
at times overdone the part of being
the indolent son of rich man.
Among the other characters worthy
of special mention were Charlotte
Wade Daniel, as Mrs. Bulsome Por-
ter; Edmund Soraghan, as Mr.. Bull
some Porter, who by the way is very
droll and one of the best Englishmen
/ have ever seen. Royal Tracey, as
the Vicar of Sunningwater, and Gill
berta Faust, as Lady Eastney. All OF
the other characters were well played.
but were of not enough Importance to
have been noticed seriously.

GENUINE HUMOR

Comedy is by-w word for Proctor
this week. Nearly everything on the
program is a full-strength laugh pro-
Queer, guaranteed under the genuine

Belle, does not come under this act,
hers coming under the head of the
act de classique. Mile Ma-Belle and
her corps de ballet do many classic
dances and are appreciated, but the
fun generated by their companions
on the bill dims even their perform
ance.
Bernard A. Reinold and company in

hit of the night. The sketch is just
portrayal of a little life in a Ger

Mrs. Mabel B. Dempsey Is
Granted Final Decree of
Divorce from John Dempsey

A final decree of divorce has been
granted to Mrs. Mabel B. Dempsey,
of 232 Chadwick avenue, from her
husband, John Fl. Dempsey, of 4S4
Belmont avenue. Thee couple lived
together for only one year. during
which time the wife claimed her
husband gave her but $3.50.
The Dempseys were married on Oc-
tober 20, 1897. The wife was granted
a divorce on her sixteenth wedding
anniversary. After their marriage
they lived at 642 Camden street. On
October 10, 1898, Dempsey arrived
home at l CLOCK in the morning, al
leges the wife, and when she asked
for money he elected her from the
house.
For three weeks prior to this Incl
dent Dempsey had not given her any
money, claimed the petitioner. After
being elected the wife went to the
home of her parents at 81 Howard
street, where she arrived at o'clock
in the morning.
Mrs. Dempsey and her mother
went to visit the husband the fol-
lowing day and found all the furni-
ture at the Camden street home
claimed that it was impossible to re-
main at home when it was in such
disorder. On the twenty-flrst of Oc-
tober Mrs Dempsey and her mother
went to the Camden street address
again and found everything had
been moved.
A year and half after this separa-
tion, states Mrs. Dempsey, she met
her husband on the street, but he
ignored her. Ten years ago they
met again at the funeral of the hus-
bands brother James A. Dempsey,
former city attorney of Newark. The
Wife claims that she again ap-
preached her husband in the ceme-
terry, but he repulsed her.
During the year they lived to-
gether stated Mrs. Dempsey, her
husband gave her 81 for hat and
$3.50 for a pair of shoes and these
contributions were the only ones
made by the husband to clothe her.
She also claims that Dempsey re-
peatedly announced that he re-
GREETED his marriage to her and
showed her the picture of a woman
