M— FOUND A DOG COLLAR IN THE LAUNDRY BOX BUT IT WAS NOT PLACED THERE TO BE LAUNORIED, BUT TO BE MAILED. Down at Bteve Wright's corner, aide by aide, la a laundry box for the recep tion of parkugea of luundry to be tak en up by the wagon*, and a mail box for the reception of letters to be taken up by the mall carriers. These two boxes have a Joke on each other nearly every day. The mill box laughs at tho laundry box because there are people who drop letters into it. and Its fun to the mail box to think of the delays in getting those letters off. On the other hand the laundry box laugh* at the efforts of people who try to ram a bundle of collars down the narrow throat of tho mail box. The luundryman comes along and opens the box. Sometimes he finds bundles of collar* and cuffs In It and sometimes he find* letters. Of course he drops the letters !n tho right box, but he had much rather people would mall their own letters. To get them out of his box and mall them looks I ke he Is tampering with Uncle Ham's mail, and that he does not wlah to do. But Its the truth. The boxes are wholly unlike, and yet there are peo ple who will drop their letters In the laundry box when right alongside Is the mall box. Not long ago somebody had a dog rollnr to mall to somebody else. There was a tag attached to It with the name of tho person to whom It was to be sent, and as It wa* too large to crowd In the narrow aperture of the mall box It was dropped In the laundry box which has 11 wide inouth. Tho next day Mr. Hans Milllrons came along with his laundry wagon and found It. He wanted to bo obliging, but he couldn't get the dog collar In the mall box, and to leave It on top of the box meant that it would be stolen, no he had to drive up to the postoffice to mall It.

Tho Grand theater will have ono of th© most notable attractions of the season tonight. whe n the distin guished actor. James K. Haekett, will appear In his greatest success. "The Prisoner of Zenda." Mr. Haekett Is universally recogniz'd as the leading romantic actor of this country. His exceptional histrionic talent comes to him by heredity for his father was one of the greatest Hhckespearean ac tors that this country nas ever pro duced, his association with the role of “Falstaff" being Immortal In stage annals. Nature was In generous mood when she molded young Haekett to follow In the professional footsteps of his father. An athlete In figure, a striking, manly personality, a voice of unusual power and an expert in the art of fencing, Mr. Haekett Is fit* ted beyond all „ other actors of our age for the dashing roles of the ro mantic drama. HI* success In An thony Hope's thrilling play. "The Prisoner of enda," was such that he might have continued In It Indefinite ly as a "one play" star had not his nmbltlon nnd versatility led him In new directions. His recent revival of this play at Haekett’* Theater, New York, proved an overwhelming suc- cess nnd showed that the tastes for the romantic play was still strong In the esteem of the theatergoers gener ally. ELEANOR ROBSON IN “VERA, THE MEDIUM." An air of mystery infests the an nouncements of the forthcoming pro duction of Richard Hayding Davin' "Vera, the Medium.” which Miss Elea nor Robson is scheduled for the Grand Opera House next Monday night. Of course, Mr. Davis' play deals with spiritualism, but from Just what po sition Mr. Davis Is Inclined to view this engrossing subject, the produc ers decline to state. They do prom ise, however, a play full of highly dramatic action, thrilling situations, a well-knit story, plenty of unforced humor, and a succession of novel characters, drawn In the author's best manner. In short. It la said that "Vera, the Medium," will prove' as satisfactory n vehicle a* Miss Robson has ever had. It may be remembered that two seasons aeo Mis* Robson made an effort to restore the old high class stock company Idea on Broad way. producing plays by Israel Znng- wlll. Jerome K. Jerome, Clyde Fitch and Paul Armstrong In turn..The suc cess of the latter's "Salomy Jane" made It politic to discontinue the stock company idea In order to enjoy the fruits of that play's success. This season the Idea was again to be re vived. and beside Mr. Davis’ piece, Messrs. Llebler & Co. secured plays by Edmond Rostnnd. Mrs. France* Hodgson Burnett. Henry Blossom nnd F. Marion Crawford for Mia* Robson's use. The Indications, at present, are. however, that "Vera, the Medium." will be the only play done by the young star this season, unless the management prove* willing to mako considerable sacrifice, for tho sake df their previous plans. In this play Mis* Robson will have tho support of her usual good company. William Courtlelgh. Claude Brooke. Lucille Watson. George La Guerre. Roy Fair- child. Brnndori Hurst, Carolyn Ken yon. Minnie Radcliffe and Arthur Bar ry leading the list. Much, too, has been mode of the production. "THE RIGHT OF WAY." Klnw * Erlnnker's great act'ng tri umph. "The Right of Way," with Guy Standing and Theodore Roberts In their famous roles of Charley Bteele and Joo Portugal*, will pay a visit to the Grand for ono performance on Tuos- Inv night. December 26.* Thero Is beauty, grace and dignity— tho threo things essential to the sat isfactory portrayal of true drama—In tho Interpretation of' "The Right of Way." Eugene W. Prosbrey’s drama tisation of Sir Gilbert. Parker's great story of Canadian life. This book by Canada's foremost novelist is well known, having been ono of the pop ular books of Its year, and a general favorito a’ncc. The romance and trag edy of the powerful story will bo readily recalled by the playgoer, who sees "The Right of Way," for while tho dramatist’s liberty has been taken with much of th# text, the characters as drawn by Sir Gilbert Parker m»y be fairly wild to bo Imbued with life In tho portrayal. Selecting Charley Steele's "den," the Cote Dorion. thc/hut on the Vondome Mountains, nnd the valley of Cooling Snrlngs ns the successive scene# of his five nets, Mr. Eugene Presbrey has constructed a play that unlike numer ous other dramatisations '* perfectly cleir nnd understandable without knowledge of the orlglnnl novel. Tho audience is made to keenly realise the cynicism of Charley Stcelo and tho tenderness and loyalty of Joo Portu gal. the two lqgdlng characters and thus Is kept In tho real spirit of "The Right of Way." ; BLANCHE WALSH.

NEW YORK, *Dec. 25—The Central of Georgia railway Is admitted by most experts to be a valuable property. The company has practically no treas ury bonds available for Improvements, and if the management desires to ex tend the road to New Orleans, which Is more than probable, a new mort gage must be crested, although this can only be done by retiring the three classes of incomes. The po'nt Is that If a new mortgage Js authorized for Improvements and the New Orleans extension, the additional capital will materially improve the po sition and strength of the company’s present bonds. This thought Is suggested by the rel atively low price of the consolidated 5s. "If the Central of Georgia is to be come the ejutern end of E. H. Har- rlman's trans-continental system then why should not these bonds ultimately sell on the same basis as Southern Pa cific, or Illinois Central obligations?" asks the Wall Street Summary.
