Leaving tho stage for seven years the returned to tho Queen's theater making her reappearance in Charle's Read's "Wandering Heir." Then followed engagement wilh Mr. Fancroft nd Mr. Joiyi Hare. On Mr. Irving taking tho management of the Lyceum theater in London, he was enabled to secure tho services of Miss Terry who made her first appearance at that theater on December 30. 1878. Miss Terry remained with Sir Henry Irving until a year or two before the latter's death and shared equally in the great fame won by their appearances in the plays of Shakespeare. Their first tour of tho United States and Canada was made in 1S83.

Will Work Here.

We hope that the time has now come in Richmond when the relations between the public and the public service corporations can be those existing between the citizens of the city of New York and Mr. MacAdoo of the Hudson Terminal & Tunnel company. It is his policy of publicity in detail and his readiness to serve the consumers that have made hiin the most popular citizen in New York.

Tho Talladlum has received a statement from Fred Schornstein, manager of the Light, Heat and Power company which is so fair and full that it seems to us that some special recognition of it ought to be made. We hope that it means that a new relation between that company and the people of Richmond exists.

To the Editor of the Palladium: In reference to the trouble with the gas service on Sunday morning, February 5th, 1911, concerning which you have commented, I wish to submit the following statement of facts in fairness to the public and justice to ourselves: An investigation was quickly made as soon as the trouble arose and it was found that there was some foreign non-combustible substance in the gas system; the various drips about tho city were Immediately pumped and allowed to blow, thus removing the trouble up to the service pipes, and a force of men was immediately started out to remove what was in the service pipes between the main and the consumer's burner. The trouble having been removed, a rigid Investigation was then instituted to determine the cause. In our system of making gas, after a run of gas-making during which the apparatus gradually cools down, the stack-valve is raised and the blast turned on, and continued until all parts of the apparatus have been brought back to their proper temperature, when the blast is turned off and the stack-valve lowered, and another run begun. There is no way for air to get into the gas In our system of making gas, except through the generator which is liable to cause an explosion which would disable the gas apparatus, and 13 therefore, of course, not practiced by any gasmaker nor permitted by the instructions of any gas company. To admit air with gas in the gas set would, as before stated, be . very dangerous and extremely liable to create an explosion, and a flash would generally be the result of air and gas in the gas-set where a high heat is maintained. In the case in question it was found that by e rror. and unintentionally, the gas-maker starteel the blast before he raised the stack-valve. This forced air through the gas-set into the gas system and being non-combustible, it was necessary to rid the system of it and this was done as quickly as possible. It was only providential that an e x plosion with great damage to our employes and plant did not result. It is our intention to render the best of service, and to furnish standard quality of gas, which we are doing, and would be only too pleased to have any proper tests made. FRED E. SCHORNSTEIN, Manager, Richmond Light, Heat & Power Company.

The Palladium is satisfied of the truth of the above statement in regard to the occurrence on February 5. The circumstances were in themselves damaging on tho face of them and further circumstances were such that Mr. Schornstein says he could not at the time he sure as to the cause of the trouble and therefore could not make the above statement. We were quite willing to take this explanation for it is obviously true. We wish it could have beeu made sooner but we can understand why it was not

In the lust paragraph thhe most important Statement in tho whole document is made. That tho company is quite willing to have tests of its gas made. The Palladium believes it is better to have this come about naturally than to have it a matter of bitter controversy. That is waste of time and trouble.

We don't remember of a full statement of public service trouble having been made by a corporation operating in Richmond. Ordinarily it bears one more in the dark than not or else it is an evasion. Mr. Schornstein naturally reaped the discredit of other public service corporation sins. We hope that the crediting of his statement made in good faith will lead him to continue this policy and other people in the public service business also.

MacAdoo found it paid in New And the same policy will work FOUNTAIN ERECTED TO E. H. IIARRIMAN (American News Service) Goshen, N. Y., Feb. 27. A handsome bronze and granite fountain erected lu memory of the late Edward 11. Harriman was unveiled Saturday on the anniversary of Mr. Harriman's birth. The memorial was erected by the Orange County Good Roads Construction Company which was organized by Mr. Harriman some years ago toassist the county in building good roads. The fountain was designed by Charles Cnrl Rutnsey, son-in-law of Mr. Harriman. Brignoli In a Temper. On one occasion Uianchi, the noted teacher, went on the stage to see Brignoli, the famous singer, whom he found pacing up and down like a madman, humming over his part. "Why, Brig, w bat is the matter with you? Are you nervous?" he asked. "Yes, 1 am nervous," was the reply as he walked harder and faster than ever. "But, Brig, you ought not to be nervous. I've heard you sing the part 200 times. 1 heard you sing it thirty years ago." "Thirty years ago! Who are you that should know so much?" "Who am I? You know who I am, and I know who you are." "Very well; you know what I am, but I am sure you do not know what you are, and if you wish I will tell you. You are a fool!' "THIS DATE

He had been arrested on a charge of intoxication after he was found lying in the street. He was suffering from a dangerous cut in the head and his watch was missing These facts, his father declared today proved conclusively that Bertsch was the victim of foul play.

Heart to Heart Talks.

By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 190S, by Edwin A. Nye DO NOT WABBLE. A popular writer characterizes a cer tain class of persons as "wabble" folks." You know the type. They are the sort who dodje respon sibility, slide from under an obligation and squirm out of a premise. Many politicians are of the wabble pattern. Many men fail to succeed in busi ness because of the oscillating dispo sition. All commerce is founded on confidence the coafidence reposed by one person in the promise of another. whether the promise be implied or by word of mouth or written. He who betrays this confidence disqualifies himself. It Is not too harsh to say of such persona men or women that they are "fit for treason, stratagem and spoils." It Is the wabbly people mostly who keep the divorce courts busy. The marriage compact, by which the family is maintained and civilization is builded, falls to hold them. Wabble folks lack moral fiber. The species needs to be caught wtalh? young and tamed by discipline. Teach the child that it should be slow to make a promise, but that, having made one, it mnet be kept Inviolate, even though the heavens fall. Teach the child that it is no excuse to say of a brokeu pledge, "I meant It when I said it." Teach the child that to fail of a promise Is the worst sort of lying. Who is more admirable than the man who stands four square to all the winds that blow? The dependable man will keep his obligation though to do so may re quire deprivation or hardship. Martin Luther was of that sort. When his friends besought him to forego bis trip to the diet of Worms because of the enemies who threatened his life he said. "I will go to Worms though there be as many dev ils as the tiles on the housetops." He kept hia word. And when he had spoken what was in him. knowing well the consequences of his frankness, he solemnly said: "Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me." You do not need to be of Luther's kind of religion to admire his sturdy loyalty. There Is something approaching to heroism In the man who will suffer rather than break a pledge. In these days men are seldom called upon to die for the sake of honor, but there are those who would do so If necemnry rather than wabble through life, craven and a recreant. NOTICE.

Very, very few people know how to buy coffee, for coffee is a matter of Taste Flavor Aroma, something you can't exactly take hold of and say, "this is it." Good coffee and poor coffee is good or poor, largely according to the taste of the people drinking it. Of course there is a great deal

of genuinely poor coffee coffee kept in open bins or sold by irresponsible peddlers coffee with a flat, stale flavor because the natural oil of the coffee berry has escaped. Yet thousands have to drink that kind of coffee because the one who buys doesn't know better or doesn't stop to think or expects to save. In reality it is the poorest economy for it takes much more of that kind of coffee to make a good cup than the right kind frsperly packed and sealed.

Some Gossip Gathered From The Gay American Metropolis

(Palladium Special) New York, Feb. 27. Some persons seem to have a most popular sense of humor and to be willing to go to any amount of trouble to gratify their perverted notion of humor. There is a woman in Brooklyn, who advertised under the name of Mrs. Arnold in Seattle papers, saying that she was a; widow and willing to get married' again. She gave a certain address in New York and scores of letters front j marriageable men in Seattle and other places in the state of Washington j began to arrive at the address given' by the alleged widow. She sent her sister to the address and had her bring the accumulated letters to her home in Brooklyn, where the two women had the time of their life, reading the proposals, many of which were accompanied by the photographs of the writers. It is stated that in answer to her advertisement the bogus widow received 165 proposals within one single week. The restaurant keepers in New York resort to all kinds of more or less ingenuous schemes to circumvent the law, which prohibits them from selling any liquor between the hours of 1 and 5 a. m. In the recent case against Charles E. Rector, the noted caterer, or alleged violation of the liquor law, some interesting facts in that respect were brought out, involving, among other things the question as to the number of drinks contained in a gallon of whiskey. Mr. Rector, the proprietor, said that his plan of selling whiskey in the prohibited hours of l a. m. to 5 a. m., was to make each table party purchase out right, before 1 a. m., a bottle contain ing one fifth of a gallon of whiskey. This bottle had fifteen marks on its side, each representing a drink. At five o'clock, if there should be any thing left in the bottle, the party re ceived a rebate. It became clear from that statement, that at the rate of fifteen drinks to one-fifth of a gallon, there must be 75 drinks to a gallon of whiskey. Of course, that holds good only in the Rector establishment. The suffragettes of New York are greatly disappointed over the failure of their latest advertising scheme. They had planned to send up from their headquarters hundreds of toy balloons with appropriate inscriptions on St. Valentine's day, but fate was against them. Whether the balloons were not filled with the proper kind of gas or whether the inscription "Vites for Women" made them too heavy, is not definintely known. At all events, however, the balloons re fused to rise even high enough to pass over the spite fences with which the owners of the lots adjoining the suffragette headquarters have separat ed their property from that of their unwelcome neighbors. Only the fact that the story got into the papers consoled the suffragettes over the mis carriage of their advertising scheme During the past few weeks the poPiles I Piles! Piles!

lice authorities of New York have undertaken a number of raids with a view of arresting all persons carrying concealed weapons without proper authority. The result of these raids was

astonishing. Every day scores of per-j sons were arrested for carrying con-; cealed weapons and bushel-baskets I full of guns and daggers were gathered up in some of the poolrooms and gambling houses visited during these raids. These places are frequented by , some of the worst and most dangerous! elements of the city, burglars, thieves, j blackmailers, pickpockets, etc., and! nearly every one of them carries arms of some sort, usually guns, daggers or shingshots. In view of this fact it is not surprising that so mauy crimes against the person are committed iu this city. The police authorities intend to continue these raids with the greatest severity and persistence and it is hoped that these raids will materially diminish the number of "gun toters" in New York. Some time ago a man having a wife and four children, disappeared from his home and for weeks no trace of him could be found. Then the body of a man was fished out of the waters of the Kill von Kull, corresponding, in a general way with the description of the missing man. The wife and the children, not to mention several other members of the family identified the body as that of the missing head of the family and with great alac-i rity the settlement with the insurance' company and the arrangements with the undertaker were completed. Everything was ready for the funeral the other day, when the missing man, w ho had learned of the case through the newspapers, apepared upon the scene and stopped all further proceedings. with the funeral. He had some diffi culty in convincing his wife and the rest of the family that he was really alive and the person he claimed to be, but he finally succeeded and now the undertaker will have to bear the loss of the beautiful casket and trim mings.

lies of missing men are so eager to collect the life insurance that they are not very scrupulous In their identifications. Some of the insurance companies advocate a law which would put a stop to fraudulent identifications. While Joseph Swander. of Yonkers, was on his way home late the other night, he was held up by three footpads, one of whom pointed a gun at Swander and ordered him to throw up his hands. Swander obeyed, but at the same time grasped the wrist of the man's pistol hand and wrenched the weapon from him. The highwaymen then took to their heels, but Swander gave chase and succeeded in capturing one of the men, whom ho turned over to the police. If there were a few more men like Swander in this town there would be a mark

ed decrease in the number of holdups in the streets of New Y"ork. BE CHEERFUL. We all ought to be as cheerful as we can. Every one must have felt thft a cheerful friend is like a sunny day, shedding brightness on all around, and most of us can, if we choose, make of the world a palace or a prison. To be bright and cheerful often requires an effort. There is a certain art in keeping ourselves happy, and in this respect, as in others, we require to watch over and manage ourselves almost as if we were somebody else. Lord Avebury.
