Earle’s Newfonndiand Made Short Work of Intruders, When burglars broke into the home of Mrs. Margaret Earle, in Central ave- nue, Richmond Hill, in morning hours, they were attacked and put to filght by The Admiral, large Newfoundland dog. There have been numerous rob- berles of Iate in the vicinity of Mra. Barle's residence, and she has relied for vrotection on The Admiral.

Pennsylvania = Track-Walker Found with Crushed Skull, LANCASTER, Pa. Dec. 15.—Jacod Bostick, aged fifty-three, a Pennsylvania Rallroad track walker, was found by two negroes lying on the track about half a mile east of Bainbridge with his skull crushed. e was still alive, but died without heaving made a statement. The verdict of a Coron jury was bcos he had met with an ape electric sign in Forty-fourth street may de kept burning for a brighter and bet- ter day, Meanwhile Miss Munro ts etlent. Noth- ing is heard from her quarter save the dull, leaden sounds which bespeak the counting of financial losses, Whether she will aid Mrs. Osborn in a further at- tempt to keep the doubtful enterprise! afloat she does not say. It !s plainly a qase where money will have to talk, and talk in a good, loud tone, if any- thing further fs to be doing. Society must evidently be left out of the question. It has shown It can't be depended upon for more than a week or two at a time. Apparently ft doesn't nm jcare to have a toy theatre of its own, It has too many other toys with which to amuse itself, and, like a fickle child, {t Is constantly turning from one to another, Some time ago Mrs. Osborn announced she had purchased the rights to a play the title gf which implied it bad some- thing to do with’a scandal. What as- surance has she that society will care anymore for this than !t did for “Tommy Rot" or Fad and Folly” Again, she might consider that society has ecandals of ts own, the majority of them, It Is safe to assume, @ heap sight more tn- teresting and entertaining than the stage brand which she might offer. As for the general run of people, they want something better in the way of amusement than has been provided at the playhouse, Blanche Ring's spirits and singing have been the life of the plece from the frst, and of late the French chansonettes so artistically sung by Miss Margaret Hubbard Ayer have been @ welcome interpolation. But it takes more than a couple of excellent features to make a satisfying show.
