DETECTIVE PRIVATE DETECTIVE GEORGE W> SHULER 622 S. Fifteenth St. s, Irving's First Impulse Irving was a rare combination of a man of genius and a man of business. In preparing a-play for the stage he spared no money. Of that he was lav ishly free. What was even more es sential to success, he di'l not spare himself, taking infinite pains in re spect of the smallest detail. He was for fully a quarter of a century, re warded with phenomenal success. Brum Stoker told me that from the opening of his management to the day of his death lie received from a delighted pub lic a simi of over two millions sterling. By his fourth tour in the United States ho drew into the treasury one liundrel and twenty-three thousand pounds. Yet, owing to a sudden tu«n im the tide of fortune, he died comparatively poor. This was largely the result of reck less generosity. Even the accumulation of disasters that followed on bis acci dent on the aight of the production of "Richard HI.J' (in December, 1896) could not have* affected the amount of saving possible had he been inclined to adopt the habit during the height ol' his financial prosperity. His first im pulse ever was to give. ; — From The Strand Magazine. LIVE STOCK PRICES I Philadelphia, April 26.—Receipts for week ending April 24, 1915: Beef Cattle—W.

A diplomat ac credited to the qulrlnal quotes Prince Von Buelow, the German ambassador at Borne, who has been the principal figure in the efforts to avoid war as saying It would be impossible for Austria to accept Italy's demands. Italian refugees from Austria say the frontier has been fortified by the Austrian# with concrete trenches and heavy artillery. A British correspondent accredited officially to the Dardanelles expedition admits that the problem of forcing the straits is a tremendous one. His ob servations have led him to the belief that a strong army for operations on the Galiipoll peninsula will be neces sary. Land he says, would present difficulties, Bince the Turks are strongly entrenched. New victories in the fighting in the Carpathians are claimed by the Aus trian. After several weeks of slow progress they have at last reduced the Russian positions on both sides of the Orawa Valley, the Vienna war office announces. Petrograd reports the re pulse of an attack in Uzcok pass, and says that the AustTlans have brought up a large amount of srtillery along the Carpathian front CONSIDER FOUNDING COLLEGE D. A. R. National Board Is Divided Over Advisability of More Washington, April 26. —The Nation* al Board of Management of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution met hereto-day to consider the foundation of a national university by the society. For this purpose the old John Paul Jones home in North Carolina lias been offered, together with certain sums from the State and county contingent upon contributions from the society. The daughters are said to bo divided over the advisability of undertaking this scheme, many of whom believe it would be better to take over the es tate and preserve it as a patriotic relic. Mrs. William Cummings Story, of New York, the president general, pre sided at to-day 's meeting. Trenches—in Peace and War On the field, General Joffre, who in private life loves to potter about the garden of his house in Auteuil, accom- pany his wife on shopping expeditious, who is very fond of a musical evening with his daughters, Marcelle and An nette, who have on occasions persuaded their father to exercise his bass voice, and who might often be seen in the morning riding with his girls in the Bois >de Boulogne, is, although amiable and genial to his intimates, imperturb able, arbitrary, and assertive, says a writer in "The Strang Magazine." Perhaps one of hiis most curious characteristics is that he will tolerate 1 no interference, so far as the exigen cies of the situation allow, with the systematic, personal habits which he has | followed for many years, and to which he attributes not a little of his good . health. This is illustrated by an inci dent which happened during the re treat from Mons. Late one night at Joffre's headquar , ters a Staff officer arrived with a very • urgent dispatch. The Comniander-in ; Chief had- retired, and the officer was , informed that on no account whatever ! must the General be disturbed. "But. : he must be roused,'' said the Staff officer, "for a whole division is in dan ' ger of being surrourfHed." ''The Gen • eral," came back the reply, "has giv en orders that iu no circumstances is j he to be awakened before 6 a. rrt. Fur - thermore, there, is po need to do So, foT • he has left all the necessary instruc ' tions for possible emergencies in en ' velopes marked one, two and three." r The Staff officer on duty thereupon i, j opened the dispatch, selected envelope , Number two, which met thie case, and ;• instructions were immediately tele i graphed to the commander who had , sent his dispatch, and who was pronipt > ly reprimanded next morning by Joffre, ; when he haul heard what had taken . place, for using the motor instead of - the telegraph. 1 He endeavors to follow, as far as t circumstances will permit, the .same - regular mode of life to which he has been accustomed almost since his ma^ . riage. Every morning previous to the war he would be up. and dressed, hav ing previously hod a vigorous ten min utes in a room next to'his bedroom, t which is fitted up as a miniature gym . nasium, ending with a cold shower* i bath. An hour later hq might be stfen j trotting briskly on horseback through - the leafy bridle-paths of the Boiee dtt . Boulogne, sometimes in company with . other officers, but more often with one of his daughters, followed at a "discreet ' distance by his orderly. Social functions never appeal to him. And if disinclined for music in his leisure moments he would turn to his | books and Bpend an hour with military works or the fiction of Hugo, Balzac, ' Dumas and Dickens —the latter being . a great favorite. Or if friends dropped in he might take a hand at bridge or ! whist. The simple habits which he - imbibed in his youthful days at Rive saltes still cling to him. Hie only sur f viving sister, Mme. Artus, says that even after he became a geneftl the i Commander-in-Chief insisted on remain -3 ing to his friends plain Joseph Joffre. i He made a practice of paying frequent visits to the family home at Rivesaltes, and one of his great pleasures during his brief holidays at home were long card games iu the evening with his ® father an 4 friends. A fnvorite game was "mouille," and it was during one of those games, Mme. Artns tellM us, that he explained to his father how to dig slanting trenches on property as a protection against the ravages of spring rains. "You should, father," he said, "dig slant ing lines of trenches across your farm at Bompas. They will drain the land aad prevent floods in spring; and i think I can claim to know something about trenches," he acfcled, with a laugh. Mrs. Shall Goes to hospital Mrs. Laura 8.

GOVERNOR VETOES A "RIPPER" Refuses to Sign Bill to Remove Scrim ton Poor Board Prom Office Governor Brnmbaugh, in a veto ntea sage filed Saturday night, refused to npprove a bill which would have ripped out of office the Scranton poor board. Under the act of 1862 the poor boftrd of Scranton is appointed by the cdufta The present legislature passed A bill taking the appointive power from the courts and providing for the election of the poor board, the first election t« be held during the coming November and the present members of the board to serve until January 1, 1916, when they would go out of office and theii elected successors take their places. In vetoing the bill the Governor says the title is defective in three places, and the bill is therefore uncOn stitutional. The politicians of Scran ton were greatly interested in the bill and many Scrantonians were here fol lowing its course.
