Children Deeply Interested.

est In the smoke fund everywhere. Indi!
viuually they send in donations and lit
tie fairs. concerts and other entertain
ments are constantly being got up by
them from which money accrues to the
iund. These are always noticed In more
man a perfunctory manner for the smoke

Alma Beck. William Scarpiofr and Earl
Tuckerman. They are the singers. John
Palmer has volunteered to recite. Ruth
Hutchinson will play the plano and
Carlo oberbrumer will serve all as ac-
companist. The concert is certain to
be successful because of Mr.. Majors

with successes. The price of tickets to

Rehearsing New Play.
Rehearsals began in solemn earnest
yesterday at the Park Theatre OF the
new play by new author. Mothers
Liberty Bond" which will be produced
and performed for. it is hoped. a long
New York run for the benefit of THE
SUN Tobacco Fund. The cast has been
filled to the satisfaction Of author and
manager and director. and now there is
only hard work in sight to whip 1t into
shape for the opening night. August /.
A great crowd OF extra people will be
employed in this play. and their re.
hearsals will be conducted simultane-
ously. but in another theatre. with those
Of the principals. In these supernu-
meraries a number Of veterans OF the
civil war will be found on the occasion
of the first performance. These fine old
men are friends OF one OF the managers,
who is himself of warlike experience.
and he found It impossible to refuse
them the opportunity OF doing what
they call their bit. 1t Is understood that
they will appear but a few times. for
despite their youthful spirit the flesh Is
weak. and a continued number OF APP
pearances on the stage after the novelty
has worn off would in the opinion Can
opinion fully reasonably OF William Il.
Sill prove too wearisome to them. How
ever. the management Is proud to have
awakened their interest to 50 great and
unexpected an extent. No pains will be
spared in any department. inclusive Of
smoke fund is pleased to learn that the
object sought in all OF them is perfec-
ton.

certificates received with purchases OF
