CROMWELL REFUSED QUININE.
Protectors Puritanic Physician Bake d at
Name "Jesuits Bark"

We owe to Sir Clements Markham the
introduction of quininc yielding trees to
British India and the consequent cheapcn-
ing of the drug from guinea to haltpen-.
ny an ounce in Calcutta. but the medical
properties of chinchora bark ha long been
known. They were discovered by the Jes-
uits, after whom it was called Jcsuits'
bark
Concerning that, Sir Clements used
to relate an odd coincidence. Oliver Crom-
we'll died Of tertian ag,Ic and quinine
might have saved him. In the very news
paper in which his death was announced,
The "Mcrcurius Politi us, there WAS an
advertisement of Jesuits' bark for sale.
But the name of Jesuit was abhorrent to-
the Puritans and hence Cromwell's med
ical advisers would have nothing TO do with
it.-Iondon Chronicle.

Just sheer delight 20 sit In The Playhouse
last night and witness Otis SINNERS pro-
iuction of Mister Antonio"
Outside all was storm and snow and
slipperiness and pessimism; inside was
Antonio Csmaradonio, apostle of good
cheer, philosopher of bencvolencc and
op,imist. Maybe we unsquote but what
he SAYS about ones being able 10 make
rs much noise laughing as crying and

certainly had its appeal and was made
manifest by the way the storm-ridden
but crowded house received his play. 1T

Would there more "Afister Antonos"
IN the world Nothing dampens his cheer,
nothing takes away from him the fine
chceriness that is his; nothing prevents
him from doing good turn and hcing The

semi-vacabond of an Italian hurdy gurdy
artist out in the highwaysand byways when
the spyinrtine comes, roaming the coun-

there are vagabonds tnat are beloved and
tsNistrr Antonio" Is one nf them
The part is one of the best things that
Mr.. Skinner ever has done. His art is
p rare one and needs role Of great
strength TO be perfectly set forth. Tarking-
tons clever pen has gwen him Just the
thing His lines are what actors call

would achieve anything unless there was
the real actor behind them From the
moment Antonio Camaradonio sets foot

also for the art that makes him a living

DECRY WORK OF BOMBERS
Prominent Men Think Outrages

Charles Piez. director general of the

work of men of diseased minds, in

and Germany"
Demands of the bombers, as set forth
in the yellow circulars they left on
the scene of the explosions, he called
''preposterous. ... ... ......
Mr.. Piez said he did not believe there
was a strong organization behind the
anarchists, nor that there will be any
organized outbreak of similar nature
in other cities. - h"

Patrolman Andrew Sullivan, of the
Thirty-ninth street and Lancaster ave-
