Jerome X. Jerome Lectore.

When Jerome K. Jerome steps out on
the platform at the Belasco Theater on
Tuesday. October p. at 4:30 p. m. Wash
ington people will have an opportunity to
see and hear one of the most interesting
literary men of the day. We all know
and love the Idle Thoughts Of An Idle
Fellow" Three Men in q Boat" and the
other classics Of humor and character de-
lineation that have come from the pen oi
this famous English author, but compar-
atively few OF US have been privile ged
to know the man himself. Just what
manner Of man he is will become ap-
parent before the lecture has proceeded
far. Tor Mr.. eJrome's subject will be
Confessions of a Playwright" a per
sonal talk about his experiences with the
stage and its associates.
The lecture will be based on readings
from some OF Mr.. Jerome's best-known
plays, such as The Passing Of the Third
Floor Back" Miss Hobbs and John
Ingleheld," and there will be many anec-
dotes Of the speakers experience with
actors managers, flrst-nighters, and the
manifold phases OF human nature that
are disclosed nowhere as on the stage
Mr. Jerome il now on his second lee
ture tour in the United States. The first
was in 1866. when. with the late Charles
Battell Loomis, he made a five months
tour from Maine TO California, and from
British Columbia TO the Gulf of Mexico
At that time he gave readings from his
own inimitable books, but even greater
interest attaches TO the present touI
because in recent years Mr.. Jerome has
been more closely identified with tht
drama than ever before. Since 1906 hC
has written comparatively few books. but
his work as a dramatic author has beer
signally successful
The Passing of the Third Floor Back
is perhaps the best known here in Amer.
lea of Mr.. Jerome's plays. With Sill
John Forbes-Robertson in the leading
role it attained a wide popularity which

COMPANY DEPLORES
THE LOSS OF LIFE
President Of Canadian Pacific Says
Lifeboats Were Sufficient, but
Time Was Too short.

Montreal Que. May 29.-Sir Thomas
Shaughnessy, president OF the Canadian
Pacific railway, issued the following
statement:
The catastrophe. because OF the
great loss Of life, is the most serious in
the history Of the St Lawrence route.
From the facts as we have them. IL
Is apparent that the Empress Of Ire
land. when stopped in a dense fog, was
rammed on the port side by the Nor
Wegian collier Storstad In such man
ner as to tear the ship from the middle
10 the screw. thus making the water
tight bulkheads. with which she was
provided. useless
The vessel settled down in Il min
utes- The interval before the steam
ship went down was not sufficient
enough to enable the officers to arouse
the passengers and get them into the
boats, OF which there was sufficient TO
accommodate a much larger number Of
people than those on board, including
the passengers and crew.
THE saddest feature OF the disaster
Is, OF course, the great loss Of life. and
the heartfelt sympathy Of everybody
connected with the company goes out
TO the relatives and friends Of those
who met death in the Ill fated steam
ship"
