THE RICHMOND PAL LADIU3I AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 19O0. PAGE THREE. ALL CAB SPEED RECORDS BROKEN One of Local Oslerized Relics Tries to Imitate Kansas Clyclone Last Night. ' aaaanassBMai ' LONE CITIZEN MEDITATES AFTER BEING LEFT 8TAND1NG ON THE CORNER HE RECALL8 VIS IONS OF CONDUCTORS MUNCH ING CUSTARD PIES. Another Incident revealing the per sistent ambition of employes of the Richmond Street & Interurban com pany to accommodate patrons of the company was witnessed last night on Main street. The motorman on the last car, west bound on the Twentieth Street line appeared in the leading xole. His car had been detained be yond Its usual time owing to the show crowd and he was bowling down Main street much after the fashion of a Kansas cyclone. At Tenth and Main street a prospective passenger ap peared. He Btood in the middle of the track, so the motorman would be sure to see him. Mr. R. S. & I. put on the brakes and the citizen stepped aside. But no, he was not to ride on that car Lieutenant Alexgorgowan, as soon as he saw tha track was clear, releaseu his bral e. jerked overt he controller handle and tho car whizzed by. And the Citizen Said, " ' On and on it sped, while the citizen said things about that motorman and the street car company that may have been true, but it would be real unkind to print The way that car went down the street was a sight. All speed records were made to look like a hand ful of confetti, and city ordinances limiting the rate of street cars resem bled "most a shredded wheat biscuit that has run through a coffee mill. As the citizen took up his homeward way, he recalled the number of times he had sat impatiently on a street car while the conductor went Into the city res taurant to secure a piece of custard pie to munch as he collected fares. And speaking of street cars that is a choice brand of language indulged In by some conductors and motormen much to the embarrassment of women passengers.

J i THE THEATER THEATRICAL CALENDAR. GENNETT. Friday, Jan. 15 "Girl." Monday, Jan. 18 Mme. Marches!. NEW PHILLIPS. All Week High Class Vaudeville. The New Phillips. Hoyt, in the two performances dn which he has appeared this week end at the New Phillips," shows himself to be a master of expression in singing. His barytone voice is at its best in the rendition of the score "Traumeri," and sets a new standard of vocal mu sic at the playhouse. The violin play ing to the accompaniment of a talk ing machine met with the audiences' favor and the bill this week tends to ward one of the most successful of the season. The little playlet,"The Inter view," in which Hoyt appears with Mc Donald is a little well spring of hu mor and bubbles over with laughs. Liable and Company, the smallest actors on the American vaudeville stage today, ranked up high in their line of amusement. Their singing fea ture is particularly good and the in fusion of comedy met with popular ap plause. A novelty act that brims with hu mor and is streaked with a little tragic work is put on by the Great Brandon company. The features to this act are extremely novel in their way. The illustrated song and two films of motion pictures completed the program. Otis Skinner. Charles Frohman will present Otis Skinner here this season in his latest New York success, "The Honor of the Family," founded on one of Balzac's most powerful novels. "The Honor of the Family" is a strong story and the adaptation of the original French work is said to have been performed with consumate cleverness by Paul M. Potter. Mr. Skinner will be seen in one of those virile roles, a Napole onlc hero, in which his admirers like him best. He has the support of the best dramatic organization that Man ager Frohman could secure. Miss Percy Haswell, his leading woman, is known to be one of the most accom plished artists now before the public and the arduous and complex role which she will portray in "The Honor of the Family" will doubtless furnish convincing proof of the versatile phase of her art. Players like Francis Carlyle, Joseph Wheelock, Sr., Albert Garcia Andrews, Harry Burkhardt, Alfred Hudson, Jr., Russell Crawford, Walter Scott, Frederick Sargent, Har ry Barfoot and Sarah Padden, com prise a company of exceptional merit Mme. Marches!. . Mme. Marches!, in placing the "possibilities of a good voice" at the1 head of her list of qualifications for a successful singer, explains that the right muscles,- the proper shape of the mouth nd the physical requisites must of course be good. The second important qualification she says is the teacher who not only knows her work but has an interest in her pupil. The careful training of a voice which is in itself not extraordinary, means far more than the indifferent training of a magnificent natural voice which is too often ruined by in correct and careless methods. There are thirteen stringent rules which Mme. Marchesl gave as necessary qualifications and a third of these rules is spelled with a great capital "H" and is Health. , Without perfect health and a good (constitution, the aspiring singer may ing grand opera, oratorio or concert honors. Nature plays a telling influ ence in this pursuit of a career. As a fourth qualification comes un tiring perseverance. "It is sadly true" said Mme. Marches!, "that many as pirants, both parents and young girls nowadays, think one can become a perfect singer after a few months work. If they only knew how long and tedious a road leads to success! The great singers of the past studied five or six years. In fact, they never cease studying. By this, I do not mean continual vocal practice. I re fer to intellectual development also, which plays a powerful part in the life of a singer." Thoroughness is the fifth demand made by Mme. Marches!; or as she earnestly explained, "there can be nothing superficial about the training of a voice for a successful career." Presence, which she says - means more personally than beauty. Is an es sential, the lack of which has sent many a beautiful voice into oblivion. Magnetism, which she considers as Bargain for a reliable man. Nlec 6- WSO.W.M.

Aubrey Stock Co. The old reliable. This title has been given to "that" Aubrey Stock Co., in the East where for fifteen years it has played to more people than any other similar organization, there is a reason of course and It is because the Aubrey Stock Co. does not believe that anything is good enough for 10 and 20 cents. They carry special scenery for every play they present, and pay large royalties for plays of proven worth, this has never been done before in repertoire. All their plays are leased from Mittenthal's of New York, and Vance and Sullivan. In addition to the acting company, six vaudeville acts are carried. They op en a five day engagement at the Gen- nett theater presenting on Tuesday evening "A Great Temptation." La dies free tickets on Tuesday night.

The coming of Sam S. and Lee Shu bert's production of Clyde Fitch's famons comedy, "Girls,", will prove to be about the most important of the season's offerings. The date has been set for tonight "Girls" is a comedy dealing with the avowed intention of three girls to scorn the companion ship of men ia general, and in order to more fully demonstrate their abil ity to be independent, hire a studio, which serves as their living room. Ev erything goes well until one night when they are about to retire a man hurriedly enters and despite the pro tests of the girls, announces ' his In tentfem of remaining. He explains that his presence there is due to the fact that he was dining with a mar ried woman living in the building and her husband unexpectedly returns making it necessary for him to make a hurried exit in order to save the woman's honor. The, girls, not dress ed to receive company, huddle togeth er and Pamela, the leader, is most vehment in her tirade against the in truder and all of his sex. Her two companions remain quiet, but bestow glances upon the visitor that shows he has their sympathy, and the strength of the anti-man chief is weakening. From this time on, the interest never lags, and the numerous and humorous characters that go to make up the big cast appear in rapid succession and laughs flow incessant ly. "Girls" from every point of view will please the most skeptical theater goer. CRANE PLEASED., "Father and the Boys" Proved De lightful. "Father and the Boys" pleased a packed house at the Gennett last ev ening. It was one of the kind of shows that pleases everyone and makes him feel glad that he saw it It bubbles over with the wit of George Ade, its author, and is clean and wholesome in every line. The audi ence was one of the largest of the season. Delegations were present from New Paris, Cambridge City and nearly all the neighboring towns. All felt well repaid and more of such a line of plays will be appreciated local ly. The play tells the story of a father and his two sons, who are his chief pride in humanity. He slaves at the wool trade so that his sons may enjoy a good time. He can not interest them in' business. One desires most of all to be a society leader and the other cares only for athletics. Both tell their father he is behind the proces sion. The father's attorney advises him to whip up and get on the band wagon. The father agrees and aided by an adventuress from Goldfield xsevaaa travels tne pace tnat soon leaves the sons biting his dust The sons believe the westerner is trying to kidnap their paternal guardian and manufacturer of simoleons, and object strenuously, but father Is actuated solely by motives of friendship and cares not a rap for his sons' views up on the matter. After a hurry-up trip to Goldfield, father finds the lover of his "skirt" and unites them, a certain major" of peculiar business methods is forced to leave town, father learns the boys have become acquainted with the business of the office during Ms absence and have taken as sweet hearts the two girls he loved best and the delightful little comedy ends in round of pleasure for all, including the spectators. The stage settings and scenic ef fects are first class. There is nothing elaborate about the production but it is staged with just the right amount of property and no attempt is made to orowd. William Crane appeared in the part of "father." His name was displayed on the billboards and that is the rea son to surmise it was he. The other members of the east are very capable, but no comment can be given in this column, as the program supply was exhausted early and the identity of the players remained a bidden secret Whoever they are, they deserve have their names--on enough programs to supply the antftenoe, as their act ing is first class ind the entire caste is far better balanced than is custom ary. Crane was just as good as it his custom to be. While making his part forceffl, he neglects to overdo good thing and so spares the audience the feeling of tiresomeness that so of ten accompanies the acting of stars. A scientific labor of the utmost im portance and interest Is about to be commenced from Shanghai.

Bern Wk Wert Y.uc la Years, i . Ola la Hoar. Davy made his epochal experiment f melting- ice by friction when but twenty. Young was no older when he made his first communication to the Royal society and was in his twenty- seventh year when he first actively espoused the undulatory theory. Fres nel was twenty-six when he made his first important discoveries in the same field, and Arago, who at once became bis champion, was then but two years bis senior. Forbes was under thirty when be dis covered the polarization of heat, which pointed the way to Mohr, then thirty-one, to the mechanical equivalent. Joule was twenty-two in 1840, when bis great work was begun, and Mayer. whose discoveries date from the same year, was then twenty-six, which was also the age of Helmholtz when he published his Independent discovery of the 6ame law. William Thomson was a youth Just past his majority when he came to the aid of Joule be fore the British society and but seven years older when he formulated his own doctrine of dissipation of energy. And Clausius and Rankine, who are usually mentioned with Thomson as the great developers of thermo-ay- namlcs, were both far advanced with their novel studies before they were thirty. We may well agree with the father of inductive science that "the man who is young In years may be old In hours." Exchange. CHINESE SKILL WITH AXES. Carpeatera of Cathay Will Compare WUh Occidentals. In judging the performance of the native Chinese workman it is almost Impossible to avoid the popular bias that addiction to their own methods and tools invariably bespeaks fatuous conservatism. Though this is in many cases true, it will often be found on careful observation that what has pass ed for a stubborn blindness to the vir tue of Innovation Is in reality a keener perception of comparative merits than the judge himself was aware of. This is particularly true of Chinese carpenters. While most of their com monest tools differ in some radical way from our own. It Is never safe to assume the superiority of the western product. Their small ax, for example, is a beautifully balanced tool, and they are remarkably adept in the use of it, being able to work as true a surface therewith as can be obtained with an adz in the hands of the white man. On heavy wort it is customary for two to hew together on opposite sides. striking alternate blows. Both hands are used, and the recover is over the shoulder, alternate right and left There is a freedom of swing with an accuracy of delivery that is a treat to watch, and the rapidity of blows is al most bewildering. Engineering Mags sine. The Graat Dastard. The great bustard (Otis tarda), a bird still found in the southern provinces of Russia, is the heaviest European fowl. In size It exceeds the Norwegian black cock. The old males attain a weight of thirty-five pounds, and where food is plentiful specimens weighing thirty- eight pounds and even forty pounds have been captured. These birds have disappeared from western Europe, where once they were almost as numer ous as partridges, and are seen only in small flocks in the sand hills skirting the lower Talley of the Dnieper and here and there along the north coast of the Caspian. The hen lays eggs as big as ordinary pears. A larger and heav ier bird, the cassowary. Is incapable of flight, but it can kick with the strength of a mnie and uses the sharp, bony quills of its wings as a cock uses his spurs. Oraatea Ia AItmm, The young doctor who had lately set tled ia Shrubviue had ample opportu nities to learn humility If nothing else in his chosen field. One day he was hailed by an elderly man, who re quested him to step in and see his wife, who was ailing. At the close of his visit the young doctor asked for a private word with the man. "Tour wife's case is somewhat com plicated," he said, "and with your per mission I should like to call the Brook- field physician in consultation." "Permission!" echoed the man indig nantly. "I told her I knew she ought to have a good doctor, but she was afraid you'd be offended if she did." To Ailing Women A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many a Sufferer in Richmond. No woman can be healthy and well if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that pass off in the secretions when the kidneys are well, are retained in the body when the kidneys are sick. Kid neys and bladder become inflamed and swollen and worse troubles quick ly follow.
