GOOD PENMANSHIP IS HOW II LOST ART

Century Ago Legible Longhand Was an Ordinary Accomplishment. New York, April 14. The exhibit of pnmannblp now at the educational tnuM-um of teachers' coIIpkc, Columbia university, Is of unuBual Interest. The thousand or more i loces taken from j the library of Oeorpe A. Plimpton Illustrate the hiBtorUal development of penmanxhlp. A glance around the big exhibition room amaaos the ordinary visitor. Himdwritinn takes on a new Importance. That the art Is of long; lineage Is exemplified where th parly stages of writing are Illustrated by Babylonian cylinders and disks, urarahs and seals dating from about 25iO H. C. to & H. C, by pieces of early Kgyptlan papyrus and by bona styluses for use on wax tablets. The first Kngllsh book on writing was printed on wooden blocks in 1570 by John do Heau Chesne and John Halldon, of London. The first book on penmanship printed In Venice, Italy, la dated 1514. The manuscript entitled "Callnraphia autoro (Jirlado Fernandez do I'rado. Llabno. l.roii," and Antonlon Kchlratti's original unpublished manuscript with Its set of elaborately drawn figured initials are among the manuscripts illustrative of early, work. A beautifully written Iatin grammar In the original Italian binding, of about MISO; a manuscript copy of the Koran of the seventeenth century, written in Persian and ornately bound in lavender and gold, a French manuscript of about loo; examples of monastic and scholastic writing on parchment and vellum of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, on some of which the accurate ruling off and careful calculation for the letters can still be distinguished, are Shown. In this division of old works is shown an Interesting American book, the ninth edition of George Fisher's "The American Istructor for the Young Man's Best Companion," which was printed on Benjamin Franklin's press In Philadelphia in 1748. The first horn book sold in this country Mr. Plympton recently bought in Boston. The examples of the so-called legal hand of the seventeenth century entirely used by law clerks and so complicated aa to contain now fewer than six set forma for the letter B. Is Illegible to the modern eye. In this division Mr. Plimpton has placed the copy and copy book used by his mother, on the title page of which is tho inscription elaborately and painstakingly lettered. "Prlscllla (1. Lewis, 1835.In separate eases the chronological development of the art in various countries Is Bhown.' The Kngllsh examples go back as far as 122, when William Comley published his "A New Copy Book of All the Most I'suall Kngllsh Hands," and Includes the work of all the best known penmen of Kngland during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Some of the titles are very interesting, as the copy book printed in London In ltioti. which la Intended to "set forth for the benefit of poorc schollare where the master hath not time to set copies," sujv plcmented with quaint pictures of the "schollars" busily at work. The American collection contains examples of practically all the writing and copy books published in the United States. Among the early books may be mentioned a manuscript copy by Benjamin Webb (lSntM, a copy book of William Pea body, son of the founder of the Boston banking house of Kidder. Peabody & Co.. dated 1SU, Bingham's "Round Text Copy" 180:i, Howard's "Large and Small Copies" (1803), Perkln' and Falrman's "Copies" (1803), Allison Clifford's "A New Joseph Champion's "Penmanship" Plan of Writing Copies" (Boston 1810) A Kidney Cure You Can Bank On Prove the Treatment Before You Pay For It.

"A complete Bystem of Scientific Penmanship" was published by Adam William llapp (Philadelphia, 1832). Kapp was the first to advertise speedy improvement in handwriting of pupils. He guaranteed a perfect hand in six lessons, and there are many specimens exhibited of before and after handwriting of pupils, by which he showed the merits of his system. "We here present," he writes in his book, "to put in so simplified a form as to enable heads of familes to acquire and communicate it to their children with the utmost facility, forming rather an evening's amusement or the agreeable recreation of a few days than a dry and toilsome study."

They propose to lead the simple life and the rules of the association will bar lobster suppers, auto rides and millionaires, acceptance of costly gifts and suits for breach of promise. No girl who is a member of the as sociation will be permitted to send out her picture with stories of how she fell heir to fabulous millions, became an old man's darling. lost her Jewels or had her pet poodle dog put out of her fashionable hotel. The officers elected are Leona Remington, president; Hazel Karl, secretary; Isabella Kwing, treasurer. A board of censors to read all press agent's copy before It is sent out was also elected. Fines will be assessed against any member who transgresses the rules. To adhere strictly to the rules all members most go quietly to their humble apartments after the show, and. if they wish to, they may read "Mother Goose" or other guileless fiction. The Girl and the Tramp, The Barton Amusenfent company has added another great success to their list of plays. "The Girl and the Tramp" company, which is to be the attraction at the Gennett theater, Saturday, April 15, is taken from actual life on the Bowery, and Great New York, and carried to the wild and wooly west. It is not a blood and thunder story, but true life and presented by a metropolitan cast. It teaches a moral stronger than that delivered from the pulpits of the modern churches.. It has many heart; touching scenes and still it has a light vein of comedy that brings forth hearty laughs. The Girl and the Tramp form a comedy in a pleasing way that prevents them from overdoing their characters. Has a Dog Farm. It required a broad sweep of imagination to conceive of Fred V. Bowers, author of sentimental ballads and trim comedian with "The Sweetest Girl in Paris" company, which comes to the Gennett on Monday, April 24, aa a farmer with-overalls and a hoe and other agricultural attributes of the class that forms the nation's backbone. However it is true. Bowers has a farm at Red Rink, X. J., just outside New York, and in summer when the footlights are low he busies himself raising a crop of sweet potatoes, corn and other vegetables, keeps chickens, sends eggs to the market and tends to an orchard. On his farm Bowers humors his one absorbing fad, breeding and rearing French bulldogs. Jhe ugly, high bred

bulldog that walks on the stage with Bowers in his performance is one of the blue ribbon products of his kennel.

At The Murray. (By Bob Fitzsimmons) During my career as a fighter I have had several hard fights, battles hard for me to win, and in some of these I thought I would surely be the loser but my good old constitution never went back on me and I was able to re cuperate in a manner which even sur-1 prised my closest friends. When I was in my prime and craving to fight every, week if my manager would let me, I did not hesitate to meet any of ; the fighters who were the best in the J heavyweight division. But the fight! which was the hardest for me to wi Square Garden on August 10, 1300 do not believe any fighter ever got ! such a punching as I did in the first three rounds and then finally won out. When I' returned from the ring I was middle champion of the world. I am the only man in the world today, who held three titles at one time. I was the heavy weight champion, light weight champion and the middle weight champion. I never fought a fight weiging over 137. Most of the time I weighed 154 and under.

There ought to be enough nieriment already on top of the plays that are running, but your wise manager knows the restless appeal for something new, and then some more, of the people. Hence Monday evening sees a return to New York of Miss Margaret Illington in 'Mrs. Maxwell's Mistake," at Maxine Elliott's theater. At the Astor a new comedy called "What the Rector Ordered," will have its premiere. When "The Gamblers" closes its run at Maxine Elliott's, theater tonight, it will have rounded out an even 200 performances. Mr. William Collier, now appearing at William Collier's Comedy theater under the management of Iew Fields, inaugurated his repertoire of spring revivals with his new production of "The Dictator," beginning on Thursday evening. Mr. William Collier's first New York appearance in "The Dictator" was at the Criterion theater on Monday. April 11, 1904. He scored a tremendous success in the production here and repeated that success in Loudon the following year. He also did the piece during his Australian tour and it won the same approbation there as elsewhere. It has not been presented in New York since the original engagement. John Mason is playing to packed houses at every performance of Augusta Thomas's dew drama "As A Man Thinks," at the Thirty-nlnth street theater under the management of the Messrs. Shubert. Mr. Mason's success in this new play, has already eclipsed his previous great hit under Shubert management in Mr." Thomas's earlier play, "The Witching Hour," and there is every reason to believe that the production will remain in New York for at least a year to come. "As A Man Thinks." is a play in which real Intellectual elements are combined with compelling human interest and human sympathy. The main theme of the play Is that of the moral responsibilities of the two sexes and the problem as to whether a man is to be held responsible for his mis-steps in the same degree as a woman. The sub ject is treated from an original point of view, the plot of the play serving to elucidate the argument in terms of dramatic action. Mrs. Leslie Carter began an engagement of one Week at the Manhattan opera house on Monday night in her successful play, "Two Women," by Rupert Hughes. The play deals with two distinct characters. Jeannette Moreau and Jennie Bartet. They bear a startling physical resemblance, but their souls are of equally startling contrast. One of them is gentle, sweet and pure, and the other wild, vicious, and selfish. The development of the story is intended to show the Take One Pain Pill it Easy To get the best of Backache Get a Box of Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills Otherwise Backache May get the best of you Nothing disturbs the human system more than pain whether it be in the form of headache, backache, neuralgia, stomachache or the pains peculiar to women.

Thomas A. Wise, whose characterization of Senator Langdon in "A Gen tleman From Mississippi." will be re-i called for its sincerity and fidelity to life, his new play, "An Old New Yorker," at Daly's. The play is by Harrison Rhodes and Mr. Wise plays the role of a New Yorker of the old order. a business man who does things in the old fashioned way. He suffers' temporary business embarrassment be-' cause of his disinclination to bring himself into touch with the strenu ous present' and also because of his sacrifices for the son of his dead partner. The scenes of the play are laid in the lower part of Manhattan that was fashionable forty years ago. Several of the characters are said to be founded upon personalities well known to old New Yorkers, and there is a love story running through the plot. Mrs. Flske appears at the Lyceum theater in "Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh," a new comedy by a new playwright, Harry James Smith. Mrs. Fiske's part is that of a social bueaneer who is neither mercenary nor immoral. She and her family have climbed socially in Kngland through the cleverness of her elder sister, and the impression goes abroad that theirs is an old Norman-French family. Her engagement to a wealthy young American is arranged and events move smoothly, until disturbing rumors connecting the family with a place called Missionary Loop gain currancy, and Peter Swallow, a drummer in the tombstone trade, with epitaphs while you wait, arrives on the scene with conspicuous inopportuness and with memories of an old sweetheart who had given him, as he expresses it, the go-by. A series of most embarrassing situations tor "the lady from Kngland" ensues, and she is forced to exercise every phase of her mental agility. Several times she seems to face the certain collapse of her house of cards, for added to other difficulties there is sedition in her own family. Disaster finally overtakes her, but at the iast moment she happens upon information that puts new trumps in her hands, and she proceeds to play them to the limit, plucking an audacious victory from what seemed to be certain defeat.

drummer is in the hands of Henry K. Dixey. A notable closing tonight, will be that of "Chantecler" in which Maude Adams has been appearing for the past three months at the "Knickerbocker theater." "Thais" in its dramatic form continues at the Criterion theater. In the large cast are such actors as Tyrene Power, Constance Collier and Arthur Forest, whose work, together with that of their associates makes "Thais" an attractively acted play. Another feature of the performance is the incidental utilization of the original score of Massenet's music. "The Confession" at the Bijou appeals especially to Roman Catholics on account of its theme. The principal character in the play is a priest who is prevented from clearing his brother of a murder charge by the fact that his information was obtained in the confessional. "The Concert." the delightful come
