The play has a wealth of scenery and costumes that is seldom seen outside of New Yorn City, and requires an able corps of carpenter property men, electricians and machinists to properly handle and care for it. The company is the same "that made the instantaneous hit on the first production, and the chorus Is large and well drilled. Altogether It is fair to predict that no cleverer attraction will be seen here this season. The New Phillips.

There are four 4 in the cast, the two brothers who are twins.

REFORM SCHOOL PUNISHMENT FOR ROBIN SLAYER?

Untimely End of the Pet Panhandle Birds Causes Storm Of Indignation Among the Railroad Men. oni ipc adc n IN If INVEST ATE It Is Believed MtJftfi Culprit Is a Lad amTPatrolman Westenberg Just Aching to Locate Him. Beyond a doubt Richmond possesses an undesirable citizen. He has stooped to the perpetration of a deed as low as he could Identify himself with. And suspicion points to a boythere may be some consolation in the fact it wasn't a man. The most celebrated family in the city that of Mrs. Robin, of New York, is now extinct. This morning when employes at the Pennsylvania freight depot paid their 'regular visit to the Robin home, they found it devastated. The young birds had been stolen. The nest on the journal box of the freight car In which the eggs had been laid in faraway New York, was empty. The birds were so young they probably are dead by this time. An Enraged Group. No more enraged group of men could be found In the city today than those at the freight house. The story of the Whitla kidnapping was but as a dream compared to this latest depredation. Genial Oscar Johnson looked as if word' had been received of the deaths of a dear friend. C. D. Slifer could have walloped every boy in town with a relish In the hope of getting the right one. . ? The anger of the friends of the Robin family is not to be wasted in words nor sorrow f only, , Practical methods have been resorted to. The police have been notified ' and Patrolman Westenberg has been detailed on the case. ' To kill a protected bird is a statutory offense in this state and if the-senseless youngster is apprehended it may mean the reform school for him. ; And there are those who would say such punishment would not be severe enough. Widespread Notice. The story of the Robin family has attracted more widespread notice than any similar story in recent years. Magazine and other publishing companies have written to Freight Agent Slifer asking for pictures of the mother bird, her nest and a brief story. Nearly every newspaper in the state has carried a .dispatch about it. It has not been a nature fake, but a true story of a remarkable occurrence. A month ago, Mother , Robin built her nest of straw, string and mud on the journal box of a Pennsylvania box car as it stood in the railroad yards of Jersey City. She was proud of her home, but not content until she had and Mar. Phone 1683. Stock Company II TOE

deposited three beautiful sky-blue eggs. New York Is a big,; wicked city, she bad heard, but she felt secure in' her well concealed nest. 'Big engines came and with noise, and a great deal cf smoke, buffeted the car around from one track to another, t Mrs. Robin soon learned her home was not sufficently secure, so she built a retaining wall of mud, jamming it tightly into a crevice. Starts on Journey. One day, after an unusually large amount of jolting, during which the nest remained firm, the car wheels continued turning the same direction for a long time. . Faster, and faster they revolved and the journal hummed. Snugly perched upon her nest, all the time warming the eggs with the heat of a her body, Mrs. Robin rode away. She left smoky New York and, ever skimming over the rails, she passed streams, hills and descended into valleys. It was so much like flying it reminded her of the spring migration and she didn't care in the least. Her eggs were safe and her mother instinct told her no barm was being done. At night time she slept on her nest and was always on guard when the wheels stopped their rumble. Occasionally a prowling cat or, dog passed beneath the car while it remained on a side track. But no eyes other than her own ever saw her home. At rare intervals she darted forth from beneath the brake beams in search of food and water. No matter if the car had been moved in the meantime, her unerring skill led her to relocate It and again she would nestle down upon her eggs. ' ' : Arrives in Richmond. There came a day of more switching, such as had been experienced at New York. Finally, the car rounded a

curve and was shot down a long side track and finally stopped. After the noise of the engine had ceased, Mother Robin flew forth from under the car. She saw a long red building, about which swarmed a large number of men. Some of them saw her, but no stones were thrown and she felt safe. A wagon passed her car and from her post on the hand brake she saw the sign of a merchant provision house and the word "Richmond." 5 The next day a young man left the big, long building and came down to inspect her car. : He carried a note book and kept his pencil in his mouth when not in use. He stooped to look beneath the car and saw the nest. He was surprised at the peculiar location of her home and told his associates back at the building. Immediately a protectorate was organized. Company officials were included and it was ordained that the car should not -lea ve the yards until the young, birds had hatched. It made no difference how badly the "big moguls" of the company might storm, that car was out of commission for the present. Others heard. of the location of the nest though, and publicity, like many other things, had . its evils. Every day hundreds of persons called to look at the nest. Classes of school children came down and enlivened the yards with their laughter.'" But never a one touched the nest. Men came with queer looking black boxes and Mrs. Robin feared for her life, but this kind of gun only clicked .'and the man who aimed it only smiled. Unknown to her her picture adorned postal cards sent all over the country, was put in photograph albums and she became the most noted bird in the United States. But with her fame came her destruction. Thursday evening death came in a tragic manner. She was struck on the back with a stick and her back was broken. The-murderer did not even carry away the body to bury it. It was found yesterday morning by the bird's friends at the freight house. The little birds that had hatched a few days ago were orphans, but the railroad men had arranged to feed them and guard over them until they could fly. : And now even the tiny birds have been stolen and probably killed.. That such should be the ending of the pretty little exhibition of bird love, is regretted by all who have been conversant with its details. The city gairied notoriety of a desirable sort from its bird story, but what may be expected from the concluding chapter? LETTER LIST. Ladies' List Miss Mazie Elliott, Bessie Gray, Mrs. C. , E.
