KIDNAP A NURSE

Hutchinson, May 5.-A bold at.
tempt of two masked men, one arm.
ed with a revolver and the other
with a hypodermic needle, to over
power and kidnap a nurse from the
Stewart hospital led to a rigid in
vestigation. The nurse was called
to the rear of the building by a
ring supposedly from one of the
wards at 8 o'clock in the morning.
AS she neared the rear door she
was dragged by a masked man, who
stuck a hypodermic needle into her
arm and applied a gag. When out
side another man armed with a re-
revolver told her captor he had the
wrong girl.
An argument as to whether she
should be taken away in a waiting
motor car ensued and the mans
hold was released. The girl ran
into the hospital. The
men escaped.

QUARTERLY STATEMENT

Senate in regard to his speech on the Panama canal and the Monroe doc urine. delivered before the Assocla- tion of the Chambers of Commerce on Wednesday.
 The secretary of State requested the ambassador to cable an explana- tion of his speech and MT. Page inn mediately began the preparation of his reply.
 After reading fuller accounts ot the proceedings of the Senate, Am bassador Page came to the conclus- ion that the senators had been misled by the excessive condensation of his remarks in regard to his interpreta- ton of the Monroe doctrine.
 MT. Page declared he had dis tinctly said that the United States would object to or prohibit any Euro pean power from taking more terri tory in the new world, and then il concluding, he said amid the laughter of the audience.
 "so. you see, the United States would prefer that no European powers should gain more territor!

 This use of Senator Roots frank caused the scandal in the Senate, caused by the use of the Congression- al franks of Senator Foraker, in circu- lating broadcast standard oil litera- ture a few years ago.
 The use of this frank in this con- nection may be within the strict let ter of the law, but the senator said that it violated it's spirit in every es- sential.

Louis Mann, failing in a new play, Children of Today" re- turned to vaudeville in condensa tion fo his success of two seasons ago.
 Operatic eyiyals.
 The Manhattan Opera House has fallen into line with the revivalsts, bringing back "The Whip" which ran there all last season. The pres- ent season has reached it's zenith. There has been a noticeable scarcity of new productions in the last fort night, notwithstanding the proud boasts of the managers about Christi mas that least 60 premiers were scheduled before the end of the sea- son in May.
 There's scandal at the Court theatre where Laurette Taylor has
 had such g. long rU.l in Oliver Moros- co.'s "Peg O. My Heart" Mike is in bad. Mike is the dog that plays a star part in the production next in importance to that of Peg herself, Miss Taylor admitted with regret the other d~y that her chief suppor has been sailing under false colors and has no right to be called Mike at all. There is every indication that Mike is about to increase the "P eg O. My Heart" cast by several puppies.
 Woods Played Safe.
 A. H. Woods, the manager, is great strickler for realism in his plays, especially on religious mat ters. In Michael Morton's "Yellow Ticket,' the Russian melodrama which has scored such a success at inc Eltinge theatre there was origin ally nothing to indicate that the Aln- erican newspaper man, played by Jack Barrymore, is a Jew. But the hero marries Marya, the JeWess hero- inc. Woods thought that the audi ences might quibble about the Jew ess marrying a Gentle, so he made the correspondent Jew by addlngl two lines. To the surprise of the au- diences. who have noticed nothing Hebraic about the. hero e. torr1gan, :. F 4e relfce officer says, "ellefnber that if I let you go you must leave the country and never attempt to return to ussia. emember you are a Jew.'' Barrymore replies. Il have never denied it.
 In Potash & Perlmutter, the Jewish comedy, Woods made a slml- lar change to make the play ortho- dox. In the original play Perlmutter marries Ruth Snyder. Woods chang led her name to Ruth Goldman.

Much Married Nat Goodwin Had to Revive Comedy
 Collier Played Dry.
FAVERSH HAM A H TT
The Manhattan Opera House Has Fall. en in Line With the "Revivalists"
 Bringing Back 'The Whip."

New York, March 13-That the 1914 dramatic sesson is a really truly strenuous one and that the fails emitted by the managerial office around Forty-second street are not merely the usual cries of Wolf. is attested by the great number of re- vivals marking the month of Febru- ary. New productions now are at eb5 and it is an undeniable fact that Iha present season has failed to produce an adequate supply of new plays worth while.
 Much Married Nat.
 The irrepressible Nat Goodwin came back to town in Never Say Die,' a comedy that William Collier thought he squeezed dry last season. The matrimonial veteran, who has been stranger to Broadway since he got himself all pounded up in the Pacific surf, wanted to demonstrafs to his erstwhile admirers that he is still in the ring, but could not find suitable new vehicle, so he revived the Collier play. He. is supported y Margaret Moreland, said to be the latest Mrs. Goodwin. That the play is meeting with certain measure G. success demonstrates that the old things are sometimes the best, after all. Collie: has tlied two new pro- ductions this season. Who's Who, /, and "A title Water on the Side The first failed and the second is no- making the hit that the Collier fam ily made last year in Never Say Die
 William Fraversham wanted to re- turn to Broadway and rather than try out any of the new available plays, turned to the old reliable Shakespeare for his vehicle. He re- vived Othello. Notwithstanding the fact that the famous English actor. Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson used the play few weeks before, F'aver- sham put on the tragedy with pre- tentious supporting company of stars and an ensemble of one hundred and the venture met with instant success. Faversham followed the illustrious example of the late Sir Henry. Irving and played "Iago.' He did not at: tempt "Othollo" as did Forbes-Roh- ertson and thereby won the praise of the critics. Few if any actors have ever been able to make anything of the eccentric Moor, an Oriental character that Arglo-Saxons cannot portray with understanding.
 Stars to Vaudeville.
 Even new sketches in vaudeville are few and far between these oays and several stars from the legitimate stage. returning to vaudeville to re- course to revivals. "Tante' in whlc'i l Ethel Barrymore scored a hit in New | York was received with indifference and the actress is preparing to aoah- don the play and will return to vau- deyille at the Palace theatre here i'll her old success Barrie's "The TwelVe Pound Lock-" Blanche Bates after spell of matrimony, domestlciey

Whether it may seem paradoxical or not, it is fact in our nature that, without endurance, life ceases to be enjoyable; with out pains accepted, pleasure will not be permanent.
