SHE EDS HER PENSION NOW Widow Asks Restoration of Income.

Detroit, Mich., Dec. 19. Having voluntarily relinquished a pension of eight dollars a month nearly ten years ago for no other reason than because she

did not feel she could conscientiously say that she needed government aid, Mrs. Elizabeth Whitney, of Romeo, Michigan, more than seventy years old is now asking to be restored to the pension rolls. . Charles M. Yates, a special pension examiner is investigating the case. Mrs. Whitney's husband, a civil war veteran, died in 18S2, leaving his widow with several small children to support. Friends and neighbors contributed funds to pay a mortgage on her cottage home and in the early nineties the widow was granted & pension of $8 a month. In December, 1900, she 6topped cashing the pension vouchers despite the advice and explanations of friendB and her name was dropped from the rolls. Her sons had grown up and werj then in a position to contribute liberally to the maintenance of their miX.her'a home, while now they have families of their own.

Find Fortune While Punching a Rabbit Out of Its Hole

Oil City, Pa., Dec. 19. Edward Woods and Thomas Dickinson, lumbermen, employed at Reed's sawmill, at Oleopolis, twelve miles east of here, took a day off to hunt rabbits, and as a result are nearly $4,000 wealthier.

; Incidentally, scores of men are searching the hillsides near Oleopolis, hoping to duplicate the golden treasure discovered by Woods and Dickinson. i The two men were on the track of a rabbit which entered a hole. While they wefe digging with the ends of their guns they discovered an iron kettle filled with bright gold coins. Woods and Dickinson hastily lifted the kettle and found it contained $3,600 in gold and $22 in silver.

The men carried the kettle with its

gold coins to the camp and exhibited it to their fellow workmen. Work was instantly suspended, the lumbermen together with drillers and pumpers from nearby oil leases rushing to the spot indicated by Woods and Dickinson, about two miles from Oleopolis. Old time residents believe the money was buried by John Cardwell, an eccentric farmer who died in an insane asylum nearly thirty years ago. Cardwell, who was a widower, sold his farm for $10,000 during the early oil development. He withdrew the money from a bank at Plummer, then a flourishing oil town. Aged residents recall being shown the money by Cardwell, but never knew how he disposed of it before becoming insane.

CHICAGO SCHOOL FOR. CONSUMPTIVE PUPILS To Develop Children Physically and Mentally.

Chicago, Dec. 19. Two schools, one for consumptive and the other for

aono. uiai scnool children of Chicago, are being planned by President Schneider of he board of education. I" is the Idea of President Schneider that the old Gage farm near Riverside wh!ch is the property of the city, can be utilized as a site for tho uuildings. It is a 240 acre tract and will give plenty of opportunity to the consumptive children to obtain fresh air and exercise. "The pupils at these two institutions, of course, would not be allowed to mingle." he declared. "If we have a school for consumptive children, we can take that class of. pupils out of ou other public schools and afford them surroundings that will tend to restore them to health. If they are

kept out of school because of their physical condition we can give them

a chance at the institution I have in mind to develop both physically and mentally. If the state and county will finance this undertaking and the city: furnish the site, the board of educa

tion will furnish the teachers. We will need some state legislation, however, before the plan can be carried out."

Paris, Dec 19. M. Clemenceau is considering a proposal to establish a new body of semi-private police, to be called the "VIglles Parisiannes." By this project the men would take the same oath as the rest of the force and would be under the control of the prefecture, but would be paid by an annual subscription from the inhabitants of the quarters they patroled. They would be given a special uniform and thoroughly well armed by

; the prefecture, and their duty would' ' be to watch over the security of the houses on their beat, as well as to : give their aid when required by the public The ft project suggests the en

rolment of 3,000 of these "vigilants, one-third of whom would be on bicycles. The principal f difficulty the scheme may have to encounter will be as to whether the subscription is to be voluntary or im the nature of a small tajr.

"The Devil." In order to be absolutely accurate in every detail of the production of Frans Molnar's comedy, "The Devil," Henry W. Savage, who holds the sole authorized version of the piece, engaged the services of general stage director of Herr Julius Herzka, director-general of the Volks theater, Vienna. Herr Herzka is a personal friend of many years standing of the author, and also made the translation of the play from the original Hungarian into the German. It was at Herr Herzka's theater in Vienna that the first presentation of 'The Devil" was made, outside of the author's own Hungary. The play deals with an evil that is known to society generally, the main character being personified by a figure that suggests rather than actually resembles what we are led by tradition to believe to be that sourllous person, "The Devil." This symbolic character is the predominating and predominant figure throughout a brilliant comedy that holds its audiences breathless until the fnal curtain. The play will be presented here at the Gennett theater soon. Henry E. Dixey will be seen in the leading role, with all the elaborate detail that marked the production of the Molnar comedy at the Garden theater. New York.

"Montana." For four continuous seasons of over forty weeks each is the proud record of "Montana" which comes to the Gennett on December 30, matinee and night. This season we are told the company is composed of most of the original New York cast where the play had run for over two hundred nights. The scenery is said to be all new and up-to-date, while the electrical effects are promised to be of an extraordinary scale. "What was one of the most realistic scenes of the play .last season was the flying leap made by Mr. Adams on the back of a

Beware False Devils 1 TO THE PUBLIC: Following the enormous success of Mr. Henry W. Savage's New York production of the sensationally successful comedy, "THE DEVIL," a number of piratical theatrical managers appropriated the title of the piece and rushed on tour cheap imitations of this splendid play. Their effrontery is so great that occasionally they have used Mr. Savage's name in luring the public to their counterfeit performances. This is to notify play goers that Mr. Savage's company will appear here at the Gennett Theatre for one matinee and one night performance. New Year's Day, and also to Inform the public that upon this occasion "THE DEVIL" will be shown exactly as it was originally presented by Mr. Savage in New York, where it proved the dramatic sensation of the season. Mail orders tot The Devil's" engagement will be accepted now and filed in the order of their receipt. Mr. Savage's authorized version of "THE DEVIL." adapied by Mr. Oliver Herford from the Hungarian of Herr Franz Molnar. is not a racey play, as it has been misrepresented by the men who are presenting imitations; but a highly moral production especially interesting in these days of divorces teaching with effective Illustration the ancient commandment: , , TH0I4 SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S WIFE.

maddened horse. The wonderful and exciting knife duel in the last act will be most vividly recalled. As a play of dramatic worth "Montana" has beeen classed as one of the really great dramatic treats of the past few years. Fred S. Adams is seen In the leading role of Jim Graham, while the charming and beautiful emotional actress Miss 'Frances Hooper is seen in tho role Flo Harper. Partello Stock Company. Probably the largest crowd that has assembled at the Gennett theater this season is expected to be present when the Partello Stock company, a Richmond favorite, opens a week's engagement here Monday night, the initial bill being "A Daughter of the People." The Partello Stock company during its former engagement in this city presented "The Devil" scoring one of the biggest successes ever scored by a repertoire company playing in this city. Strong bills have been arranged for the entire week. Daily matinees

will be given beginning Tuesday, popular prices prevailing except Friday, when the usual night prices will be charged. The New Phillips. Manager Murray announces that there will be no vaudeville at the New Phillips until Thursday of this week, when an excellent bill will be put on.
