Though not SO historic as several
other playhouses In the metropolis the
Herald Square possesses an interest
ing history. The site of the theatre is
one Of the famous show places of New
York City. The first show building
erected there was the Colosseum,
erected in 1873. Some years later this
building was removed and the Aquari-
um was erected on the site. For sew
eral years the Aquarium was very prof
table. When It's popularity ceased
the building was remodeled for theatre
purposes by Hyde and Behman, who
were then at the height of their ca
reer in the managerial field When
the building was remodeled the old
proscenium arch of the Booth Thea
tire, at Sixth Avenue and Twenty-third
Street, was put into the Herald Square,
and it is there now, being used as a
memorial to the famous actor.

When Hyde and Behman gave up the
Herald Square the theatre was leased
by Charles Evans, of "Parlor Match"
fame. During his management Harri-
gan and Hart produced many of their
famous successes there. The name
vas changed to Harrigans Park Thea
tre. Following Harrigan came Barry
and Fay with their Irish comedies for
season. In 1894 the house was again
rebuilt, and opened in September of
that year as the "Herald Square Thea
tre," with Richard Mansfield in Arms
and the Man." He also produced there
prince Kari and Or Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde" In 1899 the Shuberts leased
the house, it being the first theatre
that they obtained when they embark
ed in the theatrica business in this ci-
ty. For the last three or four years
the Herald Square had been devoted
to vaudeville and moving pictures.

With the sailing of the steamship
Barbarossa for Bremen this week the
North German Lloyd Line inaugurated
a practice that is expected to conduce
much to the comfort and welfare Of the
immigrants and other steerage pas
sengers carried by the lines steam
ship. The innovation consists of the
presence of two sisters of Charity on
each liner to look after the welfare of
women and children in the steerage.
Arrangement has been made with the
mother house of the Franciscan nuns
in Vienna to supply two Sisters for
each vessel. This new departure, it is
expected, will solve the problem of
what to do with children in the steer
age when their mothers are seasick.

Believing that the name of Little
Neck is too suggestive of a certain spe-
cies of clam, residents of community
of that name over on Long Island have
started an agitation to have it
changed. One of the leaders in the
movement sets forth the sentiments of
the Little Neckers as follows: "The
principal reason that we are urging the
change of name is that whenever we
go to the city the people ask us the
price of clans. Then there is place
called Great Neck beyond us, and
strangers at once conclude that the
place is greater than ours. Any other
name would be acceptable to us. We
don't care what we are rechristened.
A rose by any other name will smell
as sweet. But we people of Little
Neck strenuously object to having our
community associated with popular
brand of clam"

The latest story of William j. Burns,
the detective, had its origin in one of
the Broadway hotels. When the not
ed sleuth got back from Columbus,
Ohio, the other day, he brought with
him not only his own clothes, but a
lot of his wifes dresses, and boy
was sent up from his Office to unpack
the bags and put the clothes away. A
negro bellboy was sent upstairs with
this youngster, to act in behalf of the
hotel in this invasion of the rooms Of
Mr.. Burns. He watched the work OF
the other lad with interest as the mum
erous suits were put away. When the
white boy began to take out the dress
es, the negro's eyes popped.
"Hey!" he commented, when Mis-
tab Burns puts on dem ere 'sguises
what he do wifi his mustache?"

The swordfishing season is now at
it's height all along the New England
coast, from Long Island to the east
ern end of Maine. The season begins
about the end of June and continues
until early September. AS in the case
of the mackerel, no one knows where
the swordfish comes from nor whittier
they depart. They generally show up
off Block Island and then remain
around the Georges Banks and the
Maine shores about three months
They are most plentiful in July. Only
in recent years has there been mar
ket for swordfish. Formerly they were
not thought worth eating, but today
they are looked upon as among the
choicest piscatorial delicacies from
the sea.
