ITiS SKINIB AT GENNETT IN "HIS GRACE DE 6RABNT"

Large and Refined Audience Are Well Pleased With Piece. Otis Skinner presented "His Jrae de Grammont' at the Gennett rM night to one of the largest and most fashionable audiences of the season. The play is a romantic comedy and the plots and intrigues of the loveirakers of the gay court of Charles the Second form the basis for the rlory.' Chailcs the Second of England' is in love with Elizabeth Hamilton, who loves and is loved in ie-l-irn by the Count de Grammont. De (.'rammont a Frenchman, carried v. way by the wiles Charles uses to v. in from ihe woman he loves, openly insults him and is sentenced to prison for treason. Lady Castlemam r.nd Elizabeth go to the King to intcrccpt for De .Grammont 's life and rn the promise of another favorite to W introduced into court, Charles -iv'S us Elizabeth and restores to Y.i'r de Grammont. . The character of De Grammont is played by Mr. Skinner. While he (Continued from Fage 1.) the south part of the city, by giving a bonus of $50 on December 15th. When the Fry Brothers occupied their factory we donated them $G00 which was agreed upon by the Association last year. Seventh. After a hard battle we gained the victory to get an option on the Boyce arm, of $25,000 on 90 days, for which we paid $25.00. At once we began to solicit and by the assistance of the board of Public Works and City Engineer Ave liave got a nice map which makes the nicest addition to the city of Richmond, and of which the Association feels very proud. Eighth. The Association declared n dividend on the Overall stock of 4 per cent and beg to say that this factory is our first effort in the way of the location of factories, and it is a good one. We have now one year and fifteen days to continue before the option expires. I hope in that time we will have a chance to seAl to good advantage so that this association can give a vote of thanks by which we can return the money to t lie stockholders. Ninth. The Association has made n strong effort from time to tiine to locate a bridge across the Whitewater river at the intersection of South H street and in view of which the Conntv Council has increased the l levy from 2 to 4 per cent on the bun-. rei lor tne new unuge. ahu me County Commissioners have agreed to build this bridge in 1907. Tenth. The Association is at present making an effort o have J'outh- H street widened from its present width (50) feet to-(GS) feet. .This is favored by the association from the fact that the location of the rew bridge will make this street a prominent one and for the convenience of the several factories located in this part of the city. Eleventh. By the efforts of the Association the Common Council have improved Liberty Avenue adding another beautiful thoroughfare in the south part of the city. In conclusion, I desire to express my thanks to the Board of Directors standing committees, secretary and treasurer, and all the members of the Association, for their kind support in my efforts in carrying on the work of the Association, and also wish to thank you for the honor you have conferred on me by again choosing me as your presiding officer for the coming year. And I assure you that it will be my earnest endeavor to ad mce the work of the Association, i Wishing you all "A" Happy New Year," T am. Yours trulv. A. W. BLTCKWEDEL. President South Side Improvement Association. Four new members were taken in -- Adam" Felt man, Homer Whehvn, Finest Hill and Elwood Morris which brings the membership of the Association up to 310. After the business had been transacted an elennt luncheon was served to membe and quite a few invited guests. There are several names on the Y'.-f for application for membership -ml it is safe to say that the meral;niship roll will be materially in

captivates the audience the passionate impetuous de Grammont is not the part in which Mr. Skinner is best adapted to show his efforts. Richmond remembers him in "The Harvester and "The Liers" in parts

I widely different from that of the quick-tempered Chevalier and those parts were better suited to JUr. dinner's style of acting. Mr. Skinner was at his best in the scene in which he so violently denounces the King in his own audience chamber. The cast was excellent. Miss Crews portrayed the character of Elizabeth, a young girl, innocent and out of place amidst tie hardened, worldwise habitues of Charles' court in a : manner thorouaiuy wormy i ur'support Mr. Skinner required. Mis Eustace also deserves mention as Lady Castelmaine, in love with ' Charles, but who is willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of Elizabeth. j The production as 'a whole was excellent and one of the best that Richmond will see this season. RINK NOTES There was a good attendance at the rink last evening and also in the afternoon. There will be no music today, but there will be music Thursday afternoon and night. One often hears as he walks along the street that skating is dying out, but it is thought that if these people would go to the rink and see for themselves that they would be otherwise convinced. It must be remembered that the rink is a very good place for a person to go on a dreary day and also a very good place to be amused. THE WEATHER Cold Bain With Indications of Changed Temperature. All thoughts of a nearly spring that the last few balmy days may have put into the minds of the optomistie had best be banished as the rain that set in last night is but the advance guard of a series of cold days that the weather man says he has in store for us. We have been fortunate so far in keeping the cold away but the indications are that within the next few days we will see a little real winter. WENDS' MEETING Ministerial Association of the Western Yearly. Meeting Held Session. Indianapolis, Ind., January 2. The Ministerial Association of the Western Yearly Meeting of Friends met at 10:30 a. m. today at the First Friends' church, Alabama and Thirteenth street. Dr. Sylvester NeAvlin, of West field, presided. Miss Elizabeth Murphy of Carmel, was secretary. 'All the ministers of the Western Yearly Meeting are registered as members of the association. About fifty covers the number that usually attends. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss practical subjects of special interest to the ministers .in their immediate work. Tbe morning was given up to a symposium on pastoral problems, conducted by the Rev. L. E. Stout, of Plainfield. The subjects presented were: "The Sabbath Evening "The "The Service," Regular Church Prayer meeting," "Selection of Texas and Topics for Sermons," "Character of Funeral Sermons, on Departmental Work," "Evangelistic Work in the Local Meetings."

The next meeting of the association will be held in the First Friends' church,' 'this city, the first Tuesday in March. Jersey City is telling about a hanged man who gave a signal after the drop fell. Ben B. Odell holds the record for that feat.

iADLY INJURED

T. J. Finn Suffers Double Compound Fracture of Leg. Mr. T. J. Finn, formerly of this city, now of Chicago, is in the hospital suffering from a double compound fraeture of his leg. Mr. Finn is a fireman in the Chicago yards and the injury is the result of a wreck a short time ago. It will be a long time before he is able to leave the hospital. TALE OF RUIN Told of Pillars of Smoke Which Rise From Ashes of Moscow. Moscow, Monday night, via. St. Petersburg, January 2. Except for the numerous military patrols in the streets and the pillars of smoke l?xiiy floating above the ruins of factories and 'houses in the Presna district there is little. to recall the nightmare of the last ten days. As if by manic in twenty-four hours the appearance of the city has changed. The stores everywhere l.ar been reopened and the streets are crowded with holiday shoppers making belated purchr-sos for the Russian Christmas, which, according to the Julian calendar, falls on Sunday. As the fc.irly northern night fell, the guards were doubled, but the electric street lamps bril iantly lighted the shop windows, reassuring the people. Moses Reeve Killed by a Train. Hamilton, O., January 2. Moses Reeve, a prominent farmer, was killed by a Pennsylvania train at Camden, yesterday. He had gone to Camden to put a relative on the train, and in stepping from the moving rrain was thrown under the wheels. Two cars passed over him, and he I was terribly mangled.

ZANGWILL'S EPIGRAMS

CLEVER SAYINGS OF THE "WITTY AUTHOR. HEBREW CHARACTERISTICS The Way He Cmpared His Co-Religionists to United States Bonds. Some years since Israel "Zangwill when on a visit to this country, delivered an address iu .New -York city to his own people. A few of the epigrams which he theu coined concerning the characteristics of the Hebrews are here offered : The Jews had no country of their own. They could not possess the land of their fathers in reality. So they made a portable Palestine. They carried it wherever they went. This was a spiritual country. It could not be assailed by their oppressors. There have been two eonr-eptions of the Jew one that he lends money and wants it bad: again, the other that he deals in old clothes. The truth is Jews have been everywhere. They have been everything except pope of Home, and they have come near to that. If they dealt in old clothes it was because papal decree.1? forbade them trading in anything else but old clothes and old iron. Jews In a way were as good as United States bonds, only United States bonds may be converted, but when a Jew was converted he lost his value. Because Shylock was rich and Jessica beautiful all Jews are rich and all Jewesses are beautiful. I wish it were so. A good looking Jew was considered the fool of the family, which is consolation for some of us. The black plague swept over Europe. The Jews escaped by reason of their different hygienic laws. The Christians charged them with poisoning the wells, and thousands of Jews were put to death for not dying of the plague. Colonel Roosevelt ; told me that the Jews of his regiment were amouc his bravest soldiers, and when ITobson.had to be kissed it took a Jewess to do it. Jews' not only furnished money for Columbus' expedition, but his first lieutenant -was a Jew. This officer discovered tobacco, which Is greater than America. . Carlyle said the Jews had no humor, but Carlyle was a Scotchman. A beggar stole a spoon from a wealthier member of his race who had entertained him. When detected the beggar said: "By taking the spoon I broke the eighth commandment, which says, 'Thou shalt not steal.' If I had not taken it I would have broken the tenth, which says, 'Thou shalt not covet.' I saw I had to break one commandment anyhow, so I thought I might as well have the spoon." It has always been the desire of Jewish fathers, however rich, to have learned sons-in-law, however poor. I do not find this custom prevalent today. To illustrate why there are no good Jews in fiction Mr. Zangwill related the story, of the lion and the cub. The cub had seen a painting of Samson vr.nn niching tho lion, and said to its parent: "I have seen many contests between lions rnd men, and always the men have been the victors. AYhy are there no pictures showing lions overpowering men?'' "It is because we lions have no painters." was the parent's reply. , The Jews have been scattered to the four winds among nil the nations of the earth. They have been of immense service to every country that has harbored them. It reminds mo of the story of the crocodile whii opened its mouth so that a bird might go iuto it and eat the leeches which annoyed it. There was mutual benefit from the operation, it is not strange that sometimes the Jews find the crocodile's mouth closing upon them. It was natural that Jews should congregate around their synagogues. They became to some extent isolated from the people among whom they dwelt. This isolation brought with It suspicion, and suspicion caused more isolation for mutual protection. In mediaeval times the nations of Europe had a conerption of the Jewish character compared to which Shakespeare's Shylock .was a saint. It was this that brought about the compulsory ghetto. There are two general types of Jews, the German and the Spanish. The Spanish Jews rpeak a mixture of Hebrew and Spanish. The German Jews ppei.k Yiddish, a mongrel of bad German and every other language in the world. Tho Jew3 financed the crusades voluntarily and involuntarily. There was nothing they had not financed, not even their own perseeut ions. New YorH Herald. : " " ' ." ' , Tbe Difference Betvreen Two Poets. Claudius on being risked what was the tlifforenee between him and.KIopstock replied: "Klopstovk says. 'Thou who art my Inferior and yrt my equal, approach hither, and. stooping to the ground, relieve me of the burden ol these dust begriined nether integuments,' whereas I simply say. 'Johann, come and pull off my boots
