UMBRELLA BIRTHDAY

The first men in England to brave
public opinion by. carrying an umbrel-
la was Jonas Hanway, who died 131
years ago today, Sept. 5, 1886, in Lon
don. The umbrella had been used
for centuries on the continent and in
England it was in use as early as in
the reign of Queen Anne, but its. use
was confined entirely to the fair sex.
About the middle of the eighteenth
century Jonas Hanway visited Persia
to investigate. trade conditions. Upon
his return to London he was in poor
health, and when venturing into the
streets in rainy weather he protected
himself with an umbrella. yhfs re-
quired great deal of moral courage,
for he was subjected to the jeers and
taunts of the unthinking, but he per-
sisted and soon a few others brave
spirits Joined him in carrying umbrel-
las. The greatest opposition came
from the hackney coachmen and the
chairmen, and mobs led by these men
occasionally attacked men who sought
protection from the rain by carry
ing an umbrella instead of engaging
a Sedan chair or covered vehicle.

Lyric theatre yesterday in two open

the Poll players made good vah a
vengeance, registering success at
the opening performance, as predicted
by s. T. Poll, who personally selected
the superb cast headed by statuesque
Warda Howard and handsome Dud-
ley Ayres.
The hit of yesterdays matinee was
the refusal of Kendall's revolutio nary

Just then E. G. johnson, manager of

Arvine's office. The genial manager
fell on his neck with joy, led him to
the stage and Johnson was made an
actor. While he tried to start the
balhy engine, the company -filled in
with impromptu remarks. The coined
lines were as bright as those of Owen
Davis, and the audience screamed
with laughter. Despite Johnson's eff
forts the engine refused to go, and
the scene was played without the
tuneful hum of the exhaust that wculo
have spelled success.

Leaena was a courtesan of Athens
who took active part in the conspir-

son of Pisistratus. She was seized
and. put to torture by Hippias, broth
er of Hipparchus, but she refused to
betray her accomplices. Fearful,
however, that her resolution would
not endure against the torments she
was suffering, she bit through her
tongue and spat it in the face of her
tormentors. When the Athenians re-
covered their, liberty they erected in
her honor the statue of a lion with
