There Is a strong vein of comedy of a laughable nature that more than pleases. The story is written around incidents of a celebrated case of New York life, well written and not unreal or stagey. It Is one of the best comedy dramas of today written by a play wrlgbt who has given some of the very best dramas of recent years.

In the act he Is assisted by eight boys and girls who sing, dance, play games and practice the usual childish pranks upon the unsuspecting teacher. The girls are all pretty and dainty and aweet while among the boy scholars will be found the different types of boys, such as the "tough mug," "the fop," the "dago" and last but not least the little "Jew" who furnishes so much comedy with the act.

London Stock Exchange Brokers' Unique New Year's Resolution

LONDON, Dec. 30. This is the time of year when people all over the world form New Years resolutions. The members of London Stock Exchange not wanting to be exceptions, have resolved to further the interests of universal peace, by raising a fund of $50,000 and truning it over to the National Service League, which desires to fasten around the necks of coming generations of Englishmen the blessings of compulsory military training and general conscription after the most approved German and French pattern. It will be a very easy matter for these opulent members of society who are beyond the age of military Bervice, to raise this trifling amount, and then they will just as undoubtededly ask the champions of this movement. Lord Roberts and Lord Milner to lunch, whereupon the work of hustling the movement will begin. The object which the financial jugglers have in view, it is stated, is to co-operate with the executive committee of the National Service League in I advocating that every youth of sound physique without distinction of class (exevept recruits to the Navy and Army), shall be legally obliged to receive physical education and military drill at school and snail afterward at the expense of the state, between the ages of IS and 21 undergo a training of from four to six months in the Territorial Force, followed by short annual trainings for the next three years. It is impossible to defeat England against a foreign military attack as matters are now. Volunteers cannot be found in sufficient numbers, the stockbrokers say, so compulsion is necessary, and as they themselves are not likely to suffer, they are willing to help in introducing compulsion. That the people of other European countries are trying desperately to get rid of the system makes no difference to them and some of their arguments are really delightful, though not novel for they have all been used in continental countries under similar conditions half a century or more ago. "The fear of what is called 'militarism' Is a silly fear," they say. "Military training does nothing but good to anyone. It makes a better man in every way of everyone who undergoes it; and so far from making people eager to go fighting other nations, it gives them some insight into what war really means, and makes them determined not to fight without good cause." At last Buckingham Palace is about to have some much needed attention given to its dingy exterior. This is due to the outspoken remarks of the Duke of Connaught upon the appearance of the Palace. Laet year Mr. Harcot.rt. the First Commissioner of Wcrks, ,n 1 himself with a surplus cl ?7c::C"j in hand, and this he yrszz-z-'J. i ' -to the painting of tt. ' Palace and other nVv'x n,-. v Works. He Was 0r I uled. In-er. by other members of :he -Htini on the ground that with su h In rue sums required for the Coronation and other Royal purposes tins um should be expended elsewhere. It is understood that work will be commenced on the building about Easter, when the court will be at Windsor, and that it will be rushed forward so as to be completed by the time the Ixuulon season proper commences in May. The roof of the Palace is in a very bad state of repair in places and this, too, is to receive attention. The first practical school cf aeronautical engineering has lately been established at the flying ground. Hendon, and to judge from the number of pupils under instruction the school bids fair to be a success. It is under the management of the Aeronautical Syndicate, Ltd., one of the first firms to undertake aeroplane construction in England, and its technical adviser is Mr. H. Barber, who has so greatly distinguished himself as an inventor, constructor and pilot, it will

-1 s 4 ! ? GENNETT, SATURDAY be remembered that it was Mr. Barber who lately made a patriotic gift wthe Government of his all-British "Valkyrie" monoplanes. A complete course in practical construction and in aeronautical desigs of all types of aeroplanes is given, and there is also a scheme by which taose pupils attaining a certain standard of efficiency secure positions and have the opportunity of becoming pilots. There is a demand for skilled mechanice and designer, and the first-comers should find a better paid and less crowded profession than in more exploited lines. A curious fact has come to light as a consequence of the proposal to build a new Mansion House In place of the present rather inconvenient structure, in which every Lord Mayor j is compelled to spend twelve months in constant fear of sickness and pay a couple of hundred thousand -dollars for the doubtful pleasure. It appears that the site on which the Mansion I House stands does not belong to the j City of London, as is generally sunposed, but to the Rector of St. Mary i Woolnoth, Lombard street, with which parish is combined that of St Mary Woolchurch-How. The Lord Mayor's official residence stands partly on the site of the old Stocks Market, and partly on the site of the Church of St. Mary Woolchurch. which was burned down in the Fire of London, the Venetian and Wilkes apartments and a good portion of the Egyptian Hall being built on the actual ground formerly covered by the church. Shortly after the great fire, the parish was amalgamated with St Mary Woolnoth, and when the Mansins House was built the city of London agreed to pay the Rector of the combined parishes a sum of $50 a year as ground rent. About twenty years ago, when the present Rector entered on his charge, the city disputed the nature of the annual payment, which they claimed, was in the nature of a contribution to the upkeep of the church services. The Rector, however, insisted on the receipt, specifying that the payment was for rent, and after a well-known Queen's Counsefhad inkquired into the dispute on behalf of the city he' won the day, and now receives $23 every half year as ground rent for the site of the Hansion House which is valued at the present time at about a million and a quarter sterling. The splendid possession, however, is never likely to be of any practical value to the rector of St. Mary's Woolnoth, inasmuch as the city has a perShckctycuUeif!

petnal lease of the site; so that they are presumably at liberty if they like, to pull down the Mansion House, and rebuild it elsewhere, and make a very large profit on the transfer of the lease. Among the various rumors that have gained currency during the past week

a3 the result of the discussion in the Court of Common Council is one of suggesting the site of the old post t office in St. Martin's-le-Grand as a possible position for a new Mansion House. Another proposal is that the present Mansion House should be sold, and that with the proceeds the property should be acquired adjoining j the Guildhall, so that the Lord Mayor's official residence might be identitted with the scene of 60 many historic events in civic history. As a matter of fact, neither proposition has the smallest chance of being seriously considered. The question of the condition of the Mansion House has been referred to the General Purposes committee, and it is anticipated that the utmost they v, ill be likely to recommend is certain structural alterations, with a view to giving increased accommodation and bringing the sanitary arrangements up to date.

Tb Artist Always Took His Rsvsngss In a Refined Way. In "Whistler as I Knew Him" Mortimer Menpes. the author, has a pood deal to say about Whistler the fighter and his quickness in resenting nn affront. He is careful to add that Whistler was always refined In his methods: While he was severe be was not actually brutal. He never treated his enemies in a coarse way. Any man who bad offended him Whistler would rap sharply over the shoulders with his cane, and then by the time the sufferer had recovered the master would be iu the next room explaining to every one bow be had just felled his enemy. Once be caught a man with whom be was for the moment enraged washing bis face. Without a moment's hesitation Whistler dashed the unfortunate bead straight into the basin of water, and while the foe was endeavoring to clear the soap from his eyes to see the cause of this sudden immersion Whistler was in the smoking room setting the men there in a roftr with the account of bis adventures. When I first met Whistler be was in the act of searching for a man who bad dared to criticise bis Venetian etchings. "If you want to see some fnn. Menpes," he said, "come with me." Fortunately the man had been warned and was nowhere to be found. Slavery In Old Greece. The Greeks were slave owners with a vengeance. All manual work was done by "barbarians," ns the. Greeks called thosewho had been captured lit war. The greatest of the Greeks saw no evil in the institution. Aristotle is quite outspoken in his justification of slavery. A certain amount of mean work had to be done, he claimed, and "mean natured men" were intended to do 1t The slaves in some of the Greek states outnumbered the freemen four or five to one. Manual labor came in Greece to be thought a degradation, suited only for beings who could not do the higher work. Even freemen who worked for wages were by Aristotle placed outside the constitution. And what was true of the Greeks was equally true of most of the other ancient nation.

With Sixty Lynchings in 1911, Record

An Improvement ! .National isewa Association) , CHICAGO, Jan. 1. The lynching record for 1911 shows a distinct though slight improvement over the records of previous years. The number of persons lynched since January 1 sixty is slightly less than that of any other recent year. All but two of the sixtye persons lynched were negroes. Of the fifty-eight negroes, one was a woman. The crimes charged against these victims range all the way from insult to criminal assault and murder. Georgia leads with the most lynchings seventeen. Lynchings occurred in thirteen states. All of these were southern or border states excepting Pennsylvania, which furnished the only instance of the i year where the victim was burned at the stake. Contrary 'to the records of previous years the majority of the victims were not accused of crimes against women. The victims accused of attacks on wo- j men numbered eighteen, while thirty- i one were accused of murder. Two negroes were lynched for insulting white women, four for attempted murder, one for threatening to murder, one for highway robbery and one for persistent stealing. Two were charged with plain assault and one was being held in jail as a suspicious character. In several instances race riots were reported in which both whites and blacks were killed. These are not included in the record of the year. In the following record the word "lynching" has been held to apply only to the summary punishment inflicted by a mob or by any number of citizens on a person alleged to have committed a crime for which in the ordinary course DON'T BE A UC A 11 A PUCQ SLAVE TO Caparine capsules will stop the pain at once and then remove the cause: regulates the stomach sn d bowels, stimu 1 a t e s and tones up the entire system without injury, but be sure to set the genuine, 10c and 25c at Soltl hy A. cnond, Ind.
