The oldest playhouse in America,
which is to be replaced in part at least
by a modern structure, is the Walnut
street theater In Philadelphia, opened
in 1909 II has never missed II season
in these III years.
Edwin Forrest made his first regular
appearance here at the age Of four
teen, getting his first start through the
influential backing of Col. John Swift,
at one time mayor of Philadelphia.
The play in which Forrest appeared
was "Douglns,' and in the cast were
Wheatley. Mrs Williams, Joe Jcffer-
sons grandmother, and Warren and
Wood, managers Of the theater and of
the stock company. Warren and Wood
considered themselves very unfortu-
nate in the cast of nOyices they had to
deal with and were greatly surprised
when Forrest acquitted himself so well
that the public expressed desire for
the plays repetition,
The English tragedian, Edmund
Kean, appeared ut the Walnut in 1871,
During the l6 nights of his engage
mcnt the receipts ran as high as ST.
$40. only once falling below $500. In
those days this was considered pro-
digious sum in theatrical circles.

John Jacob Astor introduced the
beaver skin as Il medium of exchange,
aud it was not until beaver hats were
replaced by the modern felt hat made
from rabbit fur that beaver money
went out Of fashion.
For about 100 years the beaver skin
had Its fixed value by which the cost
of 1py other article was determined,

hats from rabbit pelts actually saved
beaver from extinction in North Amer

Most of the beaver was trapped by
Indians, and ambitious white men ex-

Thought to Have suieided-ls
United States Air Force.

| NJ c. Mclean, former manager Of
4 slate grinding plant at Granville,
and who mysteriously disappeared
from that village last summer, has
been heard from. Mclean disappear
ed in the night, leaving his person
al effects in his room and taking a
revolver with him. The presumption
was that he had committed suicide.
This deduction was so strong that
bloodhounds were secured from
Great Meadow prison and an effort
made to trace him, but without sue
cess. He was followed by the dogs a
distance of mile and then the scent
was lost For two weeks the search
was kept up in an effort TO locate the
body. Finally all efforts in that direc-
tion were abandoned and Mrs. Nc
Lean and child left for their former
home in Vancouver. Last week Leon
y. Williams received a letter from
Mrs Mclean stating that her hus-
bands mother has received letter
from him in which he states that he
is seaman in the. aviation branch
of the navy. He gave no reason for
leaving Granville.
