The management of the Auditorium has provided an excellent programme for this week,” a bill in which every act sustains the high standard of the house, For bright, breezy comedy there are few turns that have got, anything on Hammond & Forrester. For the fif- teen minutes that this lively pair oc- cupy the stage the audience are kept in econtinual laughter. Their catchy closing number, “Bandy Legs,” with ite topical verses, is alone worth the| price of admission. Caron & Bel]l are another comedy team ocontributing a large share of amusement to the programme, ‘The ¥unny acrebatic antics of Johnny Bell, combined with some whirlwind tum- bling, produce an act that stands alone. Chalk Saunders and his comedy car- toons are extremely interesting as well as amusing, keeping the spectators eesing as to the result until the last ne of each picture is drawn. Mae Healy, a dainty little soubrette, eings some caichy songs, and also pleases with her witty monologue. The motion pictures are, as usual of the best, drame and comedy being well blended, with pleasing results. BREED THEATER. The Voice of the Violin, Feature Motion Picture, Those who braved the very bad weather to see the fine bill at the Breed theater last evening were amply repaid for their efforts, if nothing more than to see the blograph feature, The Voice of the Violin, a superb piece of pictorial photography. It is the story cf a young violin virtuoso who fails ir love with his pupfl, & young heiress, but is rejected. He thereupon is in- fluenced to join the anarchists and is selected to be the one to place the bomb to destroy the monopclists. In this case it happens to be the father of the heiress with whom he has heen in love. He finds out the true state of affairs and refuses to do the infamous task, and another places the bomb, and when the violinist discovers it he rush- es madly to the scene and in attempt- ing to prevent the disaster is bound hand and foot, side of the burning fuse and suoceeds fn preventing the disaster cnly by biting the burning fuse in two uet before the fire reaches the bomb. any other feature pictures are shown and are most satisfactory. The musical hits of the evening are by Madam Morelle singing the great opular song Schoolmates and Mr. De- aney singing the baseball craze Let's Get the Umpire’'s Goat. Double an- cores were the rule in the case of these two songs, which will remain for the balance of the week. U. 8. 8ENATE CHAPLAIN DEAD, REV, EDWARD EVERETT HALE. Divine, Philanthropist, Journalist, Author, and Lover of Peace. oo g Boston, June 10.—The morning light was breaking as the venerable Rev. Edward Everett Hale, D.D., chaplain of the United States senate, Unitarian divine, philanthropist, author, journal- ist and Jover of peace, breathed his last today in his home in Roxbury.

Last night, however, he showed signs of distress and Tap- idly weakened, passing peacefully away in the early hours of the morn- It seemed today as if the whole country joined in mourning the loss of Dr. Hale. Messages expressing sor- row and esteem poured into the Hale household, one of the first being from President and Mrs, Taft. As an author Dr. Hale's fame rests on his short stories, such as “The Man ‘Without a Country”; as an instigator of the social uplift, the work of the two great organizations. the Lend-a- Hand clubg and The King’s Daugh- ters, will ays add to his renown; as a minister and pastor, his half- century in the pulpit of the South Congregational church and his preach- » CASTORIA For Infants and Children, The Kind You Have Always Sought Bears the Signature of “GEORGE G.
