The Majestic management are cer tainly doing tholr part In bringing for ward, for the opening of the new dra matic season, many really excellent Xlavs plays bearing the stamp of suc cess, and in capable hands. It Is a striking testimony to the growing- Im portance of our clt? and fn line with the larger proportions we hope to carve out for ourselves. Only, by sustained patronage can this position. In things dramatlo be maintained, and Harris burg is responding well to the enter- ri.ie. Men do not live Dy oreaa or uRlness alone, but all those helpful amd elevating influences witn wnicn liter ature and art surround us. The art of acting Is a noble art when you get the correct perspective. The spirit and action of the play, "The Boys of Company B." a comedy In three acts, was intelligently Inter acted, with harmonious balance, reai atic fidelity and sustained continuity. The supporting company gave a swing nd jomness to the stirring scenes and Incidents of camp life that became very real, very rousing, and entirely unex- Bggeraiea. A. mmiaiy uumirujr, iul-ii this might be defined to be, consists In the good things It possesses, the natural fresentatlon of such possessions, and he dramatic and artistic finish with which It Is surrounded. A genuine com edy In its essence, and in Its visible manifestations, is the wholesome ef fervescence of life, shed abroad in light some badinage, droll actions and laugh able situations bubbling up like the na tive repartee of a son of Connemara. Paul Gilmore, as "Tony Allen," was the central figure; and was easy and natural in mariner, without exaggerated swagger, entering with ' xest into the realities and frivolities of his part. His finest piece of acting was, strange to ay. In the second act . whrre there Is a sudden transformation from comedy to reality and pathos, In the apostrophe to love; and even prior to that, where he enunciates the truism: "Women have no sense of humor In connection with other women." In the last act he again none to advantage in .the climax of a finally successful wooing. r. CHORUS GIRLS PRAY FOR PROTECTION New Tork, Nov. 7. Ttie city fathers were called upon' yesterday to protect the chorus girls front the stage door Johnnies. The petition for protection was addressed to Alderman Reggie Doull,- who took It seriously and after handing the letter to the -cleric to be read to the board he sought to have ft refered to the committee on laws and legislation witb directions to that com 'mittee to tfraw up a suitable ordinance. Part of Mr. Doull's district lies in the theatre territory, but from the gravity wl;h which ho looked upon the letter it seemed that hehad never heard of press agents. Little Tlra Sullivan, who presided, knew betU-r and when Reggie 'wanted the letter to go to the committee Little Tim nromntlv overruled the motion. "The chair will send the communica tion to Alderman Doull to act as a committee qf one personally to Investi gate the charges, to interview the. com plainants and to hold such publle and private hearings as he . may consider necessary and then to report back to the board. " Little Tim decided. Thi. tm cart tt thA leter rend tn the board: "We would respectfully . request that you pass an ordinance or something to protect us from sien wno want to get acquainted with us and wait around the stage door to do so. W think It would be good If you punish, any man who was found loitering within aay 30 feet of the stage entrance. Every night when we are going in or coming- out there Is a mrrf f nn around. Touflf ones and old ones, and It is very- annoying and MKht tn tw atntmed. - W e do all we ran to discourage them, but they keep com ing, and when we send them away they com back again. It won't do any good . to tell us if we speak yrough to ths man thev will go away because we have spoken rough and syil they fay, and ven when we threaten to get. soma one te punish them Jthey only laugh. It Is so bad sometimes w have to leave the theatre in sixes and sevens, and even then when we get on the car some of the men get on too. and when we tall the conductors they only laugh and think it la funny, and it Is not funny to us. We think if you passed a law and made It a misdemeanor or something like that to speak to an actress near the stage door untess the speaker knows her or has some real business with her we would not be troubled so much. W4 think the law would work all right. De cause when some of us had our brothers or our cousins waiting to take us home we could give him a card-saying- It was all right for him to wait.-We hope this request won't be treated as If it did not merit attention, for It does, and If the aldermen were chorus girls themselves and had to come and go to their busi ness every night and be spoken to by a lot of loitering young and, old men thev didn't know they would know how It leels and would do somethings for us.

BOOTH'S FIANCEE STILL ON STAGE Chicago. Nov. T.

That was In the Boston theatre, then one of the greatest playhouses in the world, when Miss Vernten was a child of 12. She has not missed a season on the slajre since. No other actress In the history of the American drama has ever equaled this record. Her first role was that of one of the "blossom fairies" In "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

She then sailed to Halifax, thence to Bermuda, and then to Wil mington, 8. C. She was noted for her work as a volunteer nurse among the southern soldiers. In the season of 168 she supported Edwin Booth at the Winter Garden In New Tork and returned to the Winter Garden In 18S7. tn which season the death of her husband eausel her to re tire from the stage for two' months. That was practically the only break of any considerable time tn her 52 consec utive seasons. In 1871-73 she starred In the large fltles north' and sttth, but was soon Kn gaged by A. M. palmer to go to the 'nlon Square theatre In New Tork to originate the role or Sister Genevieve In the first oroduetlon of "Two Or phans." In 1883-84 she traveled In sup port of Edwin Booth. Miss Vernon now Is with "The'Man from Home" company. In the Important role of Ladv Crech. She Is playing at the Astor theatre.

This afternoon he said to the United Press: - - "This is to be a scientific expedition instead of a hunting trip, as generally supposed, and according to the presi dent's letter to me, the Smithsonian in stitution will have charge of all the details and will finance the trip.- This Is ths way I understand matters. ; At any rate the Smithsonian will finance my part or the anair ana oi tne oujer scientiflo men who have been chosen to Join ths party.

According to the 'snake statistics for 1907 the total mortality among human being caused by 'snake bite fell from 22,611 in 10 to 21,418 In 1907. So low a figure has not been reached since 1887. The decrease' is noticeable mainly In Bengal and eastern Bengal and Assam, where the figures fell from 8.863 and 2,730 In 1906 to 8,276 and 1.900 respec tively In 1907. The most important in creases occurred In Madras and Brums, where the figures rose from J. 627 and 1,149 In 1906 to 1,977 and 1,34 respec tively. The decrease In teastern Bengal and Assam is attributed! to the floods having been lower. The central prov lnces figure (996) Is the lowest returned In any one of the last seven years. The Lauder-Bruton treatment of snake bite by incision and application of permanganate of potash and the dis tribution of lancets continues. It Is too early yet to pronounce with any certainty as to the result of the ex periment, but a number of favorable re ports have been received. Eight cases are reported from the United Provinces of the successful use of Dr. Calmette'a antl-venene. In two of these cases the permanganate of potash treatment was also, employed.
