Coburn- PLAYERS.

President ID. B. Johnson of Winthrop
College has been exceedingly fortunate
IN securing for the Summer School
the best course of entertainments we
have ever had. Noted lecturers, musi-
clans and entertainers compose the
course. A fitting close is a series of
plays by the Coburn Players who are
recognized as the most popular out-of-
doors players and acknowledged to be
the leading interpreters of classic
drama in America. The three plays to
be given are The Yellow Jacket, )"
"The Imaginary Sick Man" and "Je-
anne d Arc" " These plays are secured
for the benefit of all those who are ad-
mirers of the best presentation of dra-
matte masterpieces. They will be given
out of doors on the large campus. Pres
ident Johnson has arranged comfortable
seats for large audience and will have
the campus sufficiently lighted. The
costumes and setting and lighting will
give the highest artistic effect to the
outdoor performance.
''The Yellow Jacket" Chinese
drama, is remarkably fine play. 1t
is an excellent exposition of drama
from the Chinese standpoint, and a
comedy of most diverting type. Chi
nese LIE, art, manners, etc, are well
presented.
The st. Louis Republic, commenting
upon the Coburn Players, says: eff we
can only have enough players playing
the great dramatic masterpieces and
going to the people wherever the peo-
pie gather together with Gods sky
over them and Gods trees about them.
we can turn the whole world into a
Forest of Arden, and find our dukedoms
here"
The Coburn Players have appeared
at the greatest Institutions all over
America. They have given berform-
ances on the grounds of the White
House in honor of the President of the
United States. They will appear on
the Winthrop College campus July 2lst
at $50 p. M, July 22nd at 800 p. M,
and Jnly 22nd at $50 P. M. A ticket
for the series of three entertainments
is 81. 75; a ticket for a single entertain
ment is 75c. Tickets may be secured
at any time by addressing President ID.

ThaW is Sane, Says Jury.

Harry K. Thaw was Wednes-

Justice Hendrick on Friday
morning will announce whether
the commitment upon which
Thaw was incarcerated in Matte

NOT ALL CAPTAINS.

Were Really Privates.
An American WOman-now safe in

in Mexico five soldiers one day rode
into her remot mountain camp. They
were very decent fellows, and made no
threats. Still, in the absence Of her
husband, 1t seemed only wise to give
them plenty Of food and drink. also to
yield gracefully to the request of one
OF the number. who said he was the
captain, for the loan" of a blanket.
Pretty soon a second warrior init
mated that he, too. could use a blanket
to advantage In his campaigning, add
ing that he. too, was Il captain. When
Il third made the same request. also
announcing his rank as that of cap

tribution of blankets.

A PIank's Inside and Outside.

There is an inside. also an outside, to
every plank or board. the outside be-
ing the side farthest removed from the
"pith," or center, of the tree from
which the plank was cut. The careful
workman always bears this in mind
when fixing boards. He leaves the out
side exposed to the air. If the inside
is exposed to the atmosphere the ear
lier layers will ultimately shell out in
shreds and strips owing to the action
of the air destroying the timber's CO.

Sight Tests.

Some interesting experiments have
been made in the German army to find
out at what distance one soldier can
recognize another. A soldier with good
eyes. it was found, could recognize a
person he had zen once before ut IL
distance of eighty feet. He IAN rec
osnize an acquaintance at Il distance
of 300 feet and an intimate friend at
a distance of 800 feet.
An expert ritieman can distinguish
the various parts of a mans body and
detect any decided movement at a dis

appears as a spot Oh the landscape and

This season the petticoat flounce is
usually meant to distend the bottom
of the dress skirt With which it is
w%orn-usually, but not always. The
favorite flounce is deep, but it is han

simply gathered and having from II

model is that hounce which is accordion
plated and which has about it's edge,

for an adieu. when, noticing a sudden
pallor come over his face. she started.
Hitchcock saw it. too, and sprang to

discovered Il fresh hemorrhage.

Whether through excitement at re-
ceiving his visitor or from other cause
the wound had begun to bleed afresh.
The doctor stopped the flow, then turn
ed. \ young girl whose mask lay on
the floor stood before him.
She was the girl he had noticed ut
the Tuileries ball.
She gave no sign Of having seen HIM
before. and lie controlled an impulse
of recognition.
Its all right, DOCTOR said the pa
tient. "Since you have ON to know
ME and now have seen the face of this
young lady ! suppose we shall have
to take you into our confidence. When
one possesses half a secret it is unsafe
to keep from him the other half
Not now" interrupted the doctor:
wait till YOU are entirely out OF dan
ger. Your secret is safe enough as
it is"
The young man was Count Victor
Dctoile, a scion Of the Old French no
b1llty, Il was the person who had
saluted the couple at the Tuileries ball.
He was in love with Louise, the grand
niece Of Napoleon l. The nan with
whom the count had fought was the
Duke de --. a Ronaparte title. The
emperor had arranged q marriage be-
tween the duke and Louise. his grace
havill. been Of great Use to him in exc
cutting the coup d'etat by which he had
seized the crown. Napoleon was not
averse to marriages between the mem.
bers Of his family and the old nobility
Of France. but the duke had set his
heart on Louise and would not be gain
said. The count and the duke had
naturally become a~ntagonistic. and the
antagonism had ended in the duel.
Both principals feared the emper.
or's resentment that would result If
he should hear of the encounter, and
arrangements We're made to keep it u
secret in case there should be no fatal
result. Louise heard that her lover
was dangerously wounded and with Il
friend visited him secretly.
The count recovered. and about the
same time the war between France
and Prussia broke out. The lover went
to the war. and on his return. the EN-.
peror having been dethroned. there
was no II to oppose his marriage
With the girl he loved. The Napolconit
dynasty has never since been restored
to the sovereignty of France, nor have
the royalists. The pair lived long in
France, and their grandsons i now
officers in the French army.
