WEEK'S OFFERINGS GENNETT Tonight Florence Roberts in "The Strength of the Weak. Wednesday "The Love Route." Friday "Babes in Toyland." Saturday (afternoon and night) "The Warning Bell." PHILLIPS. AH week The Orpheum Stock Company. f.j Repertoire at New Phillips. An audience of large size greeted the Orpheum Stock Company at the opening of a week's engagement at the New Phillips last night and was well pleased with the combined offering of repertoire and vaudeville. The opening bill was "Sergeant Fielding, TJ. S. A.," a stirring comedy drama of the frontier and which was presented again this afternoon. It served as a vehicle to show the capable work of Mr. Arthur Chatterton, a young romantic actor, supported by Miss Marie Freck, the former being seen as Capt. Ilollis Kent and the latter as Polly Fielding. The supporting company is well balanced and includes Joseph Williams, Edward Doyle. William Covey, Harry Stetson, Robert Emerson, Charles Hogan, Maud Seldon and Josephine Bond. The specialties offered include Doyle and Emerson, reputed king pins oC torn foolery In an entirely new juggling act every night; Charlie Hogan eand and wooden shoe dancer; the Orpheum Quartet in vocal selections and comedy creations; William Weil, character impersonator; the Shadowgraph Trio in lobsterscape eccentricities; Marie Freck, singing noubrette and Isabelle Jackson, illus trated songs. As will readily be seen the company offers a double bill of repertoire and vaudeville for a sin gle admission. Indications are for a week of , big business. Tonight the offering will be "For Home and Hon or." "Strength of the Weak" Gennett. Miss Florence Roberts, whose popularity on the Pacific coast perhaps exceeds of any other emotional star in this . country, is billed to appear at the Gennett tonight. She is on her way to the coast with her new play, "The Strength of the Weak," which was introduced for a run of 150 nights at the Liberty theatre the latter part of last season, and scored a phenominal hit. As is well known many of the successes of Broadway when they come west, do not bring the original cast used in the Metropolis, but assurance is given that as Miss Roberts is to appear in her stronghold, the western territory, she has retained almost the identical cast and the original production will be carried. "The Love Route." Gennet. In his play, "The Love Route," at the Gennett next Wednesday, i.dward Peple emerges as' a playwright, who may with reason ask the whole pub lic to lend him its ear. It Is a far cry from "The Prince Chap" to "The Love Route," and as a play his later is vastly siierior to his earlier work The public will much prefer "The Love Route," which is an honest di rect, well-knit, and interesting play, destined, nodoubt to make the name of its author better known and to add something to the reputation of the pjayers who interpret iL "Babes in Toyland." Gennett. When Hamlin and Mitchell's gorgeous extravaganza, "Babes -in Toyland." is seen here at the Gennett Theatre next Friday night the theatregoers of this city will agin have an opportunity of witnessing the greatest musical comedy, according to' the verdict of New York's most eminent critics and the public generally produced in years. To make the road production just as elaborate as they -gave it in New York, where it ran for 250 nights atthe Majestic Theatre, many of the original members, including the clever comedians Gus Pixley and Budd Ross, will.be seen. So much has been written about this dramatization of the famous "Babes in the Woods" fairy stories that the public is thoroughly conversant with the scheme of the plot. To accentuate the beauiful music of Victor Herbert, Hamlin and Mitchell are sending out an auxiliary orchestra to reinforce the local orchestra. "The Warning Bell" Gennett.

Jaques Benton are expressing their heartfult sympthy to that worthy couple, since the mysterious disap pearance of their little daughter, Anstance was made public. The little girl has been missing now for five days, and the most persistent search has failed to reveal her whereabouts. Miss Anstance was ten years of age, exceedingly bright and of a sunny disposition. When last seen, she was standing in front of large bill board looking at the handsome lithographs which announce the coming of the famous pastoral play "The Warning Bell" to the Gennett Theatre on next Saturday, matinee and night. Miss Anstance had taken an exceptional interest in the coming of this play, and her distracted parents are hoping that she may be found in time to see the performance. H. S.

Reports indicate that the excursion business in Richmond this season'. jst drawing to a close, has been a very satisfactory one. both to the steam and traction lines.

Reform spelling Is no particular cred it to any one. It comes natural to most of us, but nothing would be too good for the man who could invent reform arithmetic and push it along. It is the scientist who can make the grocer and the butcher believe that two and two make eight for whom we are looking.

IN H0X0K OF FULTON

A MONUMENT TO THE FATHER OF STAM NAVIGATION. Tke Memorial to Be Ereoted on the Hudson and the Celebrations Kezt Tear la France and at the Jamea (owi Exposition. ET will be a hundred years on the 11th of next August since the Clermont steamed up the Hudson river from New York to Albany. A movement is in progress to honor the builder and inventor of the Clermont, Robert Fulton, who is generally regarded as the father of steamboat navigation. Whatever the claims of others as to application of steam to purposes of navigation, It was Fulton, at any rate, who first demonstrated the practicability of the steamboat for passenger and freight transportation, and after the Clermont had made her memorable voyage and the success of the venture was seen multiplication of steamboats was rapid. The services of Fulton to science, commerce and civilization were of such vast magnitude that it Is thought appropriate to have the nation as a whole take part in the memorial which it is proposed to erect In his honor. This memorial will stand on the banks of the lludson, overlooking the scene of Fulton's great experiment. The site will be somewhere on the upper end of Manhattan Island and not far from Grant's tomb, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Columbia university and other monumental and architectural features which make this part of New York a center of interest for 6lghtseers.. The character of the me mortal has not yet been fully decided upon, but a design by the sculptor Leopold Bracony Is considered to em body a general idea as to what the monument should be. This provides for a base surrounded by approaches ornamented by appropriate sculpture. The shaft supports a heroic figure of Fulton, -showing him contemplating a model of the Clermont. It is propos ed that the remains of Fulton shall be placed in the monument, and the con sent of the inventor's grandson, R Fulton Ludlow of Claverack, N. Y., to this plan has been obtained. v Fulton's achievements will be cele brated'next year both at the James BOBEKT FULTON AXD THE CLEBMONT. town exposition in Virginia and at the International maritime exhibition In Bordeaux; France. The French have a claim on Fnlton, Inasmuch as he made many of his experiments in that country and was encouraged in them by. the French government. .It was In France that Fulton, away back in the year 1797, experimented with his boat for submarine navigation In connection with torpedo warfare, thus anticipat ing by more than a century the suc cess in that field achieved in the past half dozen years. It was in France in 1803 that he made some of his Initial essays in the direction of steam navi gation. This exhibition will illustrate the history of maritime development from the earliest times. During the Jamestown exposition there Is to be at Hampton Roads a great naval and marine exhibition, and In connection with this honors can be paid to Fulton , most appropriately. Aug. 11 will be set apart as Fulton day, and a committee headed by Cor nelius Vanderbllt," whose family has been intimately Identified with the development of steam navigation, is arranging a programme for the occasion. Mr. Vanderbllt will probably head a marine parade with his yacht North Star. He is president of the Robert Fulton Monument association, and the treasurer, to whom subscriptions for the monument fund may be sent. Is Richard Delafield, president of the National Park bank. New York. Fulton was born In Lancaster county,' Pa., in 1765 and died in New York In 1815. As Mark Twain puts it: "He made the vacant oceans and Idle rivers useful after the unprejudiced had been wondering for a hundred million years what they were for. He found these properties a liability; he left them an asset. It Is the peculiar honor and privilege of our commercializing age to estimate this majestic service at Its splendid and rightful value. The monument Is deserved, and it will be built. Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens) Is first vice president of the Monument association. With him and Mr. Vanderbilt and Mr. Delafield In the board of officers are such men as Hugh Gordon Miller. R. Fnlton Cutting. Nicholas Murray Butler and Andrew Carnegie. - Baron iu . ai ea aeepiy In debt; and a very large part of the son's seanty- salary had to be devoted to meeting the liabilities. , J.t is said that on one occasion a bailiff wbo had been put into his humble house found that the solitary article of furniture owned by Japan's future ambassador to Great.Britain was a chessboard.
