WHY THE SQUlitE OF "WAY DOWN EAST" APPEARED iN PATENT I EATHER SHOES. William Frederic who plays the Squire in William A. Brady's produc- tion of "Way Down East. " being an ex- ceptionally large man, is compelled to have all his wearing apparel made to order. When Mr. Frederic was en- gaged tor the part or Squire Bartlett the problem of securing a pair or "charactcr" shoes to lit the part as well as Mr. Fredcrle's feet seemed like- ly to be u serious one. Fortunately this dllllcuity was surmounted through a bit of unexpected good luck. While on his way to the ferry he fell in With several long-slrorcmcn. among whom there was one his counterpart in size. liir. Frederic with an eye to business observed the shoes he were were just the things he needed for the part of Squirt- Bartlett. Tire price was named and Mr. Frederic then and there be came the possessor of the “brogans.” As he considered these a rare find its guarded them carefully against wear and tear of time. While playing in Boa ion lately ire discovered his shoes neod- ed repairing. go ringing the hell be summoned the colored bell-boy and gave him the shoes with instructions to take them out and have thenr soled “All right, dross." replied the dusky messenger, and disappeared through the door. Mr. Frederick gave no fur- ther thought to the matter until after dinner. The time approached when his presence was required at the then- irc. illanclng up at the clock he saw it was 7:45, the curtain should be up at 8:15 and be needed three quarters of an hour in which to accomplish the change from the genteel Mr. Frederic to the stern and rustic country squire Anasu Bartlett. llut what about the shoes that he had sent to have rt» paired? lie could not pessilrly go with- out them and as yet the bell-boy had not rcportcd their return. Again touch- ing the "arinounriaior" he was given the pleasant information that the boy quit work at 6 o'clock and was not in the hotel and tircy did not have his address. Nothing was left him but to hurry to ibe theatre. When ilrc over ture was called and all the members of the company were seeking their post lions preparatory to the opening of the first not. they wero‘prcseuted with the unique appearance of Farmer liarileti iii ihc usual rustit garb minus shoes but in their plane a pair of shin ing patent leathers Amid peals of laughter; the stage manager called Mr Frederic's attention to his evident ov- ersight. The latter in no pleasant mood was explaining the dilemma when a noise at the stage door interrupted and a colorcd boy pushed by the entrance and insisted he must see Mr. Frederic The “Squire" was pointed out to him whereupon he handed Mr. Frederic fif- ty cents. with the remark that be “had been to every place about the town where they bought ole shoes and dat’s do most 1 could git for em' Suppress ing a desire to kick the “moire" he bur- rledly despatchcd him with an addition al fifty cents and the. injunction to get the shoes and return at once or meet a horrible fate. He got the shoes, but in the first act the“ Squire" wore patent leather ones. “Way Down East" wil be seen at Hoyt‘s. Friday night. PENSION suaaau screams. “Will Indore Adjudication of Claims Within Reasonable Time. Commissioner of Pensions Ware has decided to,refomr the present custom of the pendinn oiilce in handling cases pbrought up for review. To the ordinary public this announcement is of little importance but to the thousands of soldiers who have been waltlrrg for years for a decision on pension claims it is of great concern Commissioner Ware found that in tertain instatrccs cases have been pending before the board on review for six and eight'years. The long delay was ‘due to two causes. One was the fact that the force of clerks invthe board of review was too small to ban- dle the tremendous volume of business that poured in on them. and the other was because of the faulty methods that were followed in disposing of cases. For some years back the cases have been coming to this board at the rate of 600 a mouth; The number dispos- cd‘of rareiyvreached 600 a month ana more frequently was less than half that many. -» great accumulation of work, so that cases which were not made special through emigraaeimi influence were shoved aside to wait for an idle, half hour that never came.
