A QUEER RUNAWAY Horse Was Missing, But Was Later Found Near Happy Hollow on Ground.

THEFT IS HINTED AT. Omar . Bullerdick Is wondering whether his horse ran oft or an. attempt to steal it was made yesterday. However he is not worrying much a3 the animal has been found. Yesterday afternoon, Bullerdick hitched the horse in front of the Knollenberg annex. South Eighth street, and walked to the post office. On his return the horse and rig were tnisslng. The hitching strap, undamaged, was still tied to the post. Bullerdick immediately reported to the police that his horse and rig had teen stolen. Patrolmen were detailed to search for the missing animal and after about an hour's search it was found lying on its back just west of the Happy Hollow bridge. Near the horse was the rig, badly damaged. At first it was thought that the horse was seriously injured, but when It was assisted to its feet an examination showed that it was practically tinhurt. The police do not know whether some one made a bold attempt to steal the animal and was forced to abandon it because it fell after passing through the bridge, or whether the horse became frightened at something and bolted. No one appears to have seen the animal run off fter It had been hitched on South Eighth, street, so it is the general opinion that some thief quieUy un hitched the animal and, without at tracting any attention, drove off with It agar Company In 'Trouble.

AMUSEMENTS

THEATRICAL CALENDAR. NEW PHILLIPS. Week of Feb. 24 Vaudeville. GENNETT. Week of Feb. 24 Hutton-Bailey Stock Company. Feb. 29 (Matinee and Night) "The Great Divide." Repertoire at the Gennett. This week"ti stock company attrac tion at the Gennett will be something quite out of the ordinary according to reports. The company comes to Richmond most highly recommended. The Elwood Call leader saya: Last niuht's opening play, "The Russian Nihilist," given by the Hut ton-Bailey Stock company took everybody by surprise, including Manager Kramer. Of course we knew the com pany had a splendid reputation ana we really did expect a pretty gooa show. But the quality of last night's performance went so far ahead of all previous stock company productions ever given here, as to make the occasion a red letter event in the history of our theatre. In spite of the very dull times, the theatre was packed to standing room when the curtain went up on the first act It didn't take the company long to make good, either. In the very outset they promptly captured the good will of our townspeople by giving one of the cleanest and strongest plays ever presented here at any price. This clever company begins it's en gagement Monday night at the Gennett presenting "A Russian Nihilist" as the opening bill. Ladies tickets Monday night as usual. Vaudeville at the Phillips. Management of the New Phillips will look to the Weber family, acrobats and equilibrists, for the headline act of this week. This family is reported to be one of the most clever in this particular line, appearing in vaudeville. It is expected they will give the patrons of the house some features iiew in this style of entertainment; something so good that they will perforce sit up and take notice. Other features on the program for the week are a piano overture by Miss Eva Hazel tine; John Max, German

Secrets of Opera Humorist Cillilan Reveals Peculiar Facts

My good wife, though lacking some what in physical endurance in other lines, is able to stand a lot of grand opera. Annually sue oreaKs over ner habits of consideration for my feelings and insists that I go with her to some yowlverein at some otherwise well-behaved place of public assemblage. Annually I go. The other night I had one of these seizures. It came upon me unexpectedly just as I had been expecting it would. We were to go and hear some nice old lady, cosmetically pickled into a long-distance semblance of youth, sing a few preliminary rounds with some vocal welter-weight, catch at the ringside. After we had struggled in from Oak Park and had inserted ourselves into our seats in full view of the elaborate display of bare floor on the stage, a man with horse-collar clothes came forth from behind the curtain and cheerfully announced to us that we weren't going to see what we had paid for. Instead, we were to have something he and his friends had se lected for us. The holder of the heavy weight championship vocal belt had been out skating, bare-footed, or something like that, and had caught cold in her throat, also in the height of her season, and could not even think above a B-flat whisper. Consequently some of the hired help would come out and quote a few pages from a Roman lyric dictionary for us. The audience hissed and applauded with great enthusiasm. The hlssers went home. The applauders stayed. We stayed with them. Thereupon I saw a great light as to the inwardness of the grand opera in dustry. In order to run a grana opera play it is necesary to have one wellknown American singer to do the frequent marrying that secures the proper amount of advertising. Also she is to do the sore-throating for the entire outfit. Among her duties is being interviewed and denying that she is engaged to somebody else and that she was not secretly married last night between the third act and Jackson boulevard. This she has to do, besides the arduous task of having the press agent print her name in the score cards on certain nights. As a rule, these duties so exhaust her that the time she has got through with them she has no more voice than a minority stockholder at the annual meeting. So just as the orchestra is beginning to make noises likrt a. hoe under a tin cup. a man comes out from behind the eighty-foot portieres and announces that the bella itt hor voice fall last night - j from upper C to F, breaking It so it j would take several days to repair it. ! and that Mine, Allegretl Tarantula would sing the leading role of something she had once overheard at a choir rehearsal. This delights people so much that they go home to tell their friends if they have any. "If they have no friends they stay for the grand opera. So, in addition to this great personage, there must always be a large collection of Italians. These are for singing instead of Interviewing. Somebody who can has to 6lng. They get out and do the real work, while the top-liner has some well-known throat virtuoso play a few choice selections on her i-ocal chord with an aiomir.er.

comedian and wooden shoe dancer; illustrated song, "Here's to Our Absent Brothers"; John Woodford and Jeanette Marlboro, presenting a refined comedy playlet entitled "A Timely Lesson"; Joe Golden, entertainer; and the cameragraph shows "The Prisoners' Escape", depiction of a thrilling experience in prison life. The bill is all new, for the supply of vaudeville performers seems never to be exhausted, despite the demand that is made on it week in and week out, almost through the entire year. There will be the usual three points of special interest in the week's order of events a souvenir matinee for the ladies on Wednesday, a special matinee for the children on Saturday and a chance for the amateurs on Friday night "The Great Divide. Henry Miller, the distinguished actor manager, will bring "The Great Divide," which has won recognition as "the long awaited 'great Ameri can play' " to the Gennett next Saturday matinee and night. The com- i ing of this famous drama, which has recently been presented at the Princess and Daly's Theatres in New York for over 500 performances, has for some time been held by our play lovers, as a bright spot in the indefinite theatrical future, and this positive announcement of the date of the engagement will be greeted with pleasure. "The Great Divide" has added much to the celebrity of Mr. Miller as a producing manager and brought from dramatic obscurity into permanent renown an author who will have to be reckoned with from now on in the American drama. Wm. Vaughn Moody had already become established as this country's leading younger poet, and through his occupancy of the chair of English in the University of Chicago, his several publications relating to the language have long been quoted as an authority upon English literature. But until Mr. Miller produced "The Great Divide," even Mr. Moody's best friends never suspected that the brilliant young poet could write a play which would be not only the most successful of its time from a pecuniary standpoint, but which would also be declared by leading critics to "set a new mark in American drama." that you have always bought. The Italians are a strong, healthy people, those designed for grand opera being brought up in kimonas and other forms of loose clothing, eating always the resilient spaghetti in order to keep their voices flexib'j. Any thoughtful person who watches genuine grand opera and who hears and sees how much the world depends; absolutely upon the Italians for the great majority of the music that is really worth while, cannot but wonder why the "black hand" society ever resorts to anything so risky as blackmail and human perforation for its funds. The members being of the proper nationality, could give a grand opera benefit at any time and gather in the coveted shekels until, in time, their notoriously smudged hands vould become perfectly white. Yes, we stayed through most of the performance. We enjoyed it. If at any time we began to feel bored, all we had to do was to remind each other in a whisper, that we were temporarily away from Oak Park. At length however, we woke to a realization that it as 10 o'clock and that we must be home in time for breakfast, so we hastened to the elevated train. We had been to grand opera. We were glad my wife that she had heard the music and I because I knew I should keep my fingers crossed for another whole year. STRICKLAND W. GILIJLAN.

D., for the past 12 years Protestant Episcopal bishop of Washington, died at his residence here. He was 65 years old. Although threatened with the grip Bishop Satterlee officiated at services last Sunday morning. Shortly afterward his condition became acute and a physician was called in. During the early part of the week he Improved somewhat, and it was thought he would speedily recover, but pneumonia developed.

Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made. Australians Want to See Fleet. Washington Feb. 22. Interesting and important news relative to the further movements of the American battleship fleet was made public at the conclusion of the cabinet meeting by Secretary Metcalf, comprising an invitation from the Australian government to have the fleet, or at least some of it, visit that country. Secretary Root's reply is the first authentic indication as to the intended movements of the fleet after its journey to San Francisco has been completed. After expressing his appreciation of the invitation the secretary says: "The eventual movements of our fleet have not been determined. While it is probable that the vessels wiU return by way of Suez, I would be glad if some of them could be sent by the Australian route, but it would be premature to promise this." Swept by a Tornado. Tendon TVS 25 The nnrthwpt rtf England and the north of Ireand were swept suddenly by a wind of hurricane force, accompanied by blinding storms of hail, which left death and destruction in its wake. In the Mersey river a schooner was capsized and eight men were drowned. Several small steamers are reported in distress off Holyhead, while many small craft have been driven ashore. No less than one dozen grand stands in the designated area have been blown down, with resultant injury at several provincial points to the people who had gathered to witness local football matches. Philippines Self-Suetafning. Washington. Feb. 22. There is not a cent paid out of the United States treasury for the support of the Philippines. This statement by Secretary Taft to the house committee on insular affairs is regarded by the administration as decidedly important information. The secretary made one exception, the small amount expended in charting the rocks of the harbors by the coast and geodetic survey, and expressed the opinion that the Information thus gained was cheaply obtained for he benefit of, the navy.
