QUITS “MASTERPIECE” AS
SHE REFUSES TO BE KISSED
Hartford.—Because she refused to be
kissed by her stage sweetheart. Miss
Helen Scholde left the cast of "The
Master's Masterpiece” that was pre
sented at the Parsons theater here by
Arthur Hammersteln for the flrst time
on any stage. The substitution of Miss
Allecn Flaven in the role required the
correcting of all the programs, as Miss
Scholde threatened trouble If the work
went on with her name in the list of
the cast.
• The curtain was finally run up some
minutes late and the play proceeded
smoothly. -The work Is by.. Edward
Locke and the Incidental music by
Gaetano Merila, who Is the conductor.
It has to do with the pathetic story of
an artist who disowns his daughter,
who Is an opera singer, because she
prefers marrying to keeping on her
stage career. The Impression here Is
that a great success has been scored
and that the play Is started on a long
career.
It serves to Introduce Marla Pama-
pii, who was brought to this country
especially to play the leading role. She
made an excellent impression, both by
her acting and voice. Others In the
cast are Miss Ethel de Fro Houston,
the contralto; Leonid Samoloff, Fred
erick TV. Peters. Angelo Soracco, Miss
Alleen Flaven and Miss Edith M. So-

USES MONKEYS TO FIND
INFANTILE PARALYSIS GERM
Pittsburg.—The Rev. Maitland Alex
ander. multi-millionaire pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, has begun a
remarkable experiment to And a cure
for Infantile paralysis, the baffling dis
ease that has taken so many babies*
lives.
A squad of 60 monkeys Is being ex
perimented upon in the pathological
department of the Alleghany general
hospital. The Rev. Dr. Alexander, who
devotes his entire salary to charity, is
paying all* expenses in the remarkable
experiment.
The monkeys are housed in a spe
cially built structure in the rear of the
hospital. There are several physicians
of high standing interested in the case,
but for the time being they do not ap
parently care to have their names con
nected with the experiment.
Patients suffering from Infantile
paralysis are bled and the diseased
blood forced into the veins of the mon
keys. Then, after the monkeys have
had several attacks of the difiease the
animals are bled, and this blood Is in
jected into the patient In the form of
serum.

TEN MOST VALUABLE
BOOKS IN THE WORLD
New York.—The -most valuable print
ed book In tbe world Is the Gutenberg
Bible, whlcb was printed at Mainz,
Germany—the flrst printed book. Its
present value would be hard to de
termine, as no copy has recently- come
up for sale, but the price steadily ad
vances. -In 1884 a copy In London
brought £3,800, In 1837 the Ashbura-
ham copy on vellum sold for £4,000.
The late Mr. Hoe estimated that It
would not be long before the price of
one of these rare copies' would come to
350,000.
After the Gutenberg Bible. Robert IL
Dodd, who Is an authority on rare
books, places the Psalter dated 1457,
which is the first book printed with a
date. It has been said that this book If
offered for sale would bring over $50,-
000.
A copy of the same Psalter dated
1453 was bought by Quaritcb in London
for something like £2,600. This book
passed Into the possession of Theodoro
Irving, of Oswego, and later, with his
library. Into the possession of J. P.
Morgan.
The “Receyyell of the History of
Troy," printed by William Caxton, the
flrst English printer, 1469-71. comes
third on the list, being the first book
printed In the English language. There
are only a few copies of It known, and
of these few a still smaller number are
perfect
The first edition of Chaucer’s "Can
terbury Talcs,” printed about 1478. Is
very rare and valuable, as are the I486
edition of Sir Thomas Malory's "Marta
d'Arthur” and the First Folio Shake
speare. A copy of the First F\>l!o
now In the library of an American col
lector sold at the Van Antwerp sale In
London a few years ago for £3,600.
The elaborately titled “Book of the
General Laws and Liberties Concerning
the inhabitants of Massachusetts,”
printed at Cambridge. Mass.. In 1648, Is
the first book of laws printed in what
now known as the United Slates.
The only known copy of this book,
which is In the library of the late El D.
Church, of Brooklyn. Is easily worth
820.000 or 825.000. It would probably
bring much more even if offered for
sale.
Antedating by eight years the first
book of laws printed In this country is
the Bay Psalm Book, minted In 1640. in
Cambridge also—the first book printed
In what Is now called the United States.
Of this book there are ten copies In all;
the four perfect copies are those in the
Bodleian library at Oxford. England;
In the Lenox library In New York, in
the library of John Carter Brown at
Providence, and In the library of the
late Comeilus Vanderbilt. It would be
hard to tell the value of one of these
perfect copies, as none bas been offered
for sale lately. The Vanderbilt copy,
whlcb was obtained for 81.200, would
undoubtedly bring 810,000 today.
Extremely valuable as being tlje only
perfect copy known is that of the flrst
edition of Shakespeare’s "Venus and
Adonis.” the first book of Shakespeare’s
to be published.
Rounding out the ten most valuable
printed books In the world Mr. Dodd
would place the 1459. edition of the
Psalter mentioned above In the final
place on the list.
