THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTONAI-SATUBDAY EVENING, -NOVEMBER 30,' 1907.' IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD. What tteCtani Folks Are! Religions News 'BT WTLLIAM T. ELLIS. Something; Doing Among Laymen. Religious circles are being stirred by the remarkable times of unprecedented interest among the laymen of the church In the matter of missions. The offering at the recent Protestant Epis copal convention of three-quarters of a million of dollars from the church's men for foreign missions was in itself without precedent. The convention of men lately held was marked -tar- the same strain of resolution to assume the financial burden of Christian extension throughout the world. u -Now from several widely separated points it is reported that the; laymen of the churches have undertaken the unusual. At a recent banquet Ifr-Yo-peka, one hundred picked men of the city decided that the city's annual gift of between seven and eight, thou sand dollars to foreign missions Is en tirely inadequate. They resolved to raise the sum to $20,000 and -to ndeavor to secure it by subscription within 60 daps. St. Joseph. Mo., similarly decided toi increase Its offering from (12.0C0 to" JoO,- IMMi and already one congregation in St. Joseph has pledged itself for one- nftii this total amount. Even more striking was a demonstra tion In Toronto where the selected com pany of denomination representatives gathered to consider this, subject. All the offerings are to be made through the regular church channels, and for regular denominational missionary ob jects. Last year, it was found. To ronto gave $141,000 for foreign missions. -After a careful canvass of the-sltuation the men have undertaken to increase this amount to half a million dollars. Toronto's population is 300.000 person s.- This means one and two-thirds dollar for every man, woman and child in the city, yet the money is to come almost wholly from the communicant Protest ant church membership. Following the example of Toronto, Brantford, Ont., with a population of 20.000, which last year averaged $2.30 per church member for missionary purposes, has agreed to increase the amount to $5 per member. Hamilton, Ont., with a population of 100,000, averaged last year $3.50 per church member to purely mis sionary .purposes. The men of the churches have undertaken to double this amount. London. Ont.. which has a population of 80,000, last year gave $2.75 per church member. The men are undertaking to make the amount $5 per church member this year. These meetings were held under the auspices of the Laymen's Missionary Movement, an organization of laymen which re. ceives no money for Itself and under takes no missionary .work on its own account. Its representatives are hold ing men's meetings throughout the country. SEVEX SEXTEXCE SERMONS, We must answer for our actions; God will answer for our powers. Phillips Brooks. If I liv the life He gave me, God will turn it to his use. Bayard Taylor. Great trials make great saints; des serts and stone pillows prepare for. an open heaven and an angel-crowned ladder. Horace Bushnell.

Holiness is infinite compassion for others; happiness is. a great love and much serving. Drummond.

Might is rlghtj so it is; it is the right to bear the burdens of the weak, to cheer the faint, to uplift the fallen. Napier.

Shall we say, "Thy will be done," And on our own errands run? Teach us how to live this prayer. Reverently thy plana to share. Lucy Larcom.

It is the glory of our age that the modern hero stands forth armed not with swords and spears, but weapon ed with love and kindness, with ser vice and sympathy.' Newell Dwlght Hlllls. RELIGIOUS THOUGHT. Gems Gleaned Worn the Teachings of All Denominations. No man ever found bis true self without at the etmA HnriA flniiinjp fZnA- no man ever found God without at I the same time finding his true self. Rev. H. S. Bradley, Methodist, At lanta. GEMS. Gentle answers, ready obedience, respect for authority, alertness to duty at first are trivialities, but in time they will become gems In life's tiara. Rev. Dr. Madison C. Peters, Baptist, New Tork. BIGGER THAN DUTY. There Is only one word bigger than duty, and that word is love. Christ did not die for us because he thought lie ought to. but because he wanted to. It was love. Rev. W. A. Quayle, Methodist, Chicago. A NEW LIFE. Christianity is distinctly a new life, a new superhuman force, so that the least in the kingdom is greater than greatest outside that domain of spirit 'I MiiS is a alga grade dress shoe for women.

GRADATIONS. There are gradations of experience, graaauons of happiness and grada tions, of reward. We shall be Just as nappy as our experience makes it pos sible to be, and that means attain ment. Rev. E. L. Powell, Baptist, J-rOUiSVUie. HUMAN THOUGHT. Our thoughts flow to each otheras rivers bear on their bosoms argosies of commerce from the busy city to many a distant port, and some hearts export only sham products, and others deadly poison. Rev. D. R. McMillen, .Methodist, Salt Lake City, Utah. LIFELONG BOND OF CHRIST. The faith that begins by going to the. very roots of our being and enlist ing tne heart is a lifelong bond to Christ at various times or at all times lowly with reverence, burning with seal, ardent with hope and glowing with love. Key. Dr. Gilbert E. Ire land. Christian church, St. Louis. NO TRIFLING WITH SIN- We must have sin everywhere. It Is cot the person we detest, but the prin ciple;- not the sinner, but the sin. Don't trifle with-sln; crush, it at once. We don't want the devil: to say anything good about us, because if we live right that Is impossible. Rev. W. L. Hunter, Presbyterian, Brooklyn. SECRET OF SUCCESS. The greatest seorct of success Is work, work, work! I feel sorry for the man who. wants work and cannot get It, but I pity the man who can get work and does not want It. Judgment, economy and the like are important elements in success, but. aH these are worthless without work. Rev. L. M. Zimmer man, Lutheran, Baltimore. GOD'S CHIEF TASK. God's greit tak Is to make man. For the nwst p-.rt, nature was completed when It came from his hands. All tne years of time are to be devoted to the making of man- This is migntiest work.' The Bible characterizes the heavens as the work of God's flngera, tracing their marvelous beauty, but when he br'iigs man from sin to right eousness he makes bare his mighty arm. Calvary and the fathomless love of the cr. ss were a port of the price of man's redemption.. At the gates of the tity beautiful Jenus will present a re deemed soul as the masterpiece of di vine workmanship. Rev. Dr. William J. Williamson, Baptist, St. Louis. COMRADESHIP WITH GOD. When one attempts to point out the wav In which comradeship with God may be realised, one is at-a great dis advantage snd may fail to satisfy wait ing souls becwuse every individual must find out the way for himself- Exper iences vary endlessly, and it is through these experiences that the vital truths I of life are made real to us. But I make bold to say that God Is always ready It Is we who are unready. Comrade ship with God Is more a matter of nffce. lion than of knowledge, more a triumpl of faith than a demonstration of sight God cannot make clear to us at once the truth that shall make us free, nor roulfl we comprehend such a rc-velat'ot If it were made. Tne way of moral and spiritual achievement we all must tread. There is no other way of advance con ceivable, but our souls may hive faith in the friend with whom they walk and so chet.rfully obey the truth as ihey see it. God Is no longer a k!n?" demanding of us unquestioned obedience. He Is a comrade with whom we may reason, believing that in many ways his wis dom and justice will be made clear We r ccopt the condltiors of lif h -gives us as opportunities for working out, with our Father, the noblest ends of being. We need him, and re needs us. Without him we could not be, and without us his purpose- are ri tard 4 and the com ing of his kingdom hindered- Was It not in the high region of comradeship with God that Jesus was abU" to say, "I and my Father arc one?" This comradeship is not easily attain ed; It Is too precious for that. It is natural, but It must come in its place in the order of growth. "First that which Is physical, then that which Is spirit ual." God is ever ready to meet us ana walk with us. and the Imperfect condl tions of our own lives that hinder full ommunlon with him "nay be overcome. The consecrated will may help tne trusting heart. "Here," as has been said, "are our lives, shut in. limited, pelf absorbed. and here are the mes- ages of God. knocking at our door, a-d between the two only one barrier, the barrier of our own wills. Religious ed ucation Is simply the opening of the door of the heart.'- So, we may say, comradeship with 'td begins with "the o enlng .if te door of the Lean." Rev. John P.

It is not a novel, but rather a collection of stories, all dealing with the same character and presenting a series of pictures of life in one of the most romantic periods in English history. All of them hav to do with Lord Rockhurst, a typical Castle hero the intimate friend and faithful follower of the Second Charles of England, the ideal of-a clever, gallant gentleman, so reckless and daring that the popular designa tion of him is "Rakehell Rockhurst. Of course. Lord Rockhurst Is a swordsman a Castle hero would scarcely dare be other than an ex pert with the foils and his daring temper is constantly involving him in adventures from which only his great skill could bring him out In safety. But he shows himself, in spite of his reckless life and cynical bearing, a truly brave man, a gentleman of fine and chivalrous feeling, and strangest of all, a wise as well as 'affectionate J father. To attempt to detail his ro mantic adventures would be to lessen by so much the charm with which the authors have set them down. The book is full of the spirit of romance and chivalry, and the stories -are as entertaining and as' charmingly told as any that these delightful authors nave ever produced. The Paul Elder company Is publishing an attractive little series called The Abbey Classics." Those just issued, "The Vision of Sir. Launfal". and "The Building of the Ship" are numbers three and four of "The Classics."

They are sumptuous little volumes, printed on deckle edge Normandy vel lum, with rubricated initials, photo gravure frontispiece and chaste bind ings, but they are sold at modest enough prices to encourage the frequent reading of these classics. Apart from their attractive issue, they have an other claim to attention In the excellent Introductions to each volume by Walter Taylor Field, the editor of the Series. Brief, but agreeably written and com prehensive, each Introduction is a de lightful "Essay In Little," and furnishes a fresh View-point for the rereading of what should he a familiar poem.

He was educat ed at Oglethorpe college and at the outbreak of the civil war enlisted in the Confederate array and served until the close -of that conflict; He- was never of a very stong constitution and the ex posure and hardships of the war brought on consumption. He was mar ried in 1867. -For a time he practised law but-soon gave that up and turned his attention wholly to literature.

Topeka, Kan.; Nov. 30, 1907.';' To the Editor of the State Journal: The Pipe Organ association are to be commended for their efforts to furnish an excellent course of lectures, etc., for the present season, so that the peo ple should not alone be entertained but giving them an opportunity to assist In paying off the debt on the, beautiful in strument in the auditorium. Without the knowledge or approval of the association, a would-be humorist struck a discordant note a few nights ago. This Mr. Packard may be a cari caturist, but in no sense a humorist, for one of the first essentials of the latter, is that he never offends or be-t comes vulgar. This is precisely what happened at his lecture, when he at tempted to present the figure of an Irish Immigrant with a face half savage and half baboon, and the fourth gen eration turns out to be an idiotic cigar ette fiend,- the whole display closing with the pictures of a bulldog, with a pipe in his mouth, while the lecturer ranted out something about the re Incarnation of souls. All of which he thought to be humor, and he professing to be an Irishman. Shame on his de generacy. The Irishman Is the soul of wit and good nature, and in his make-up there is nothing of the ape or the savage, notwithstanding that this Mr. Packard admits such descent for himself. He must bear all these honors singly. The Irish are prepared to be caricatured as other nationalities, but, Mr. Packard, and others of your class, learn to recog- GOTO. nize that you must start out with the idea, that the Irishman is a human be ing, Just as is your Uncle Samuel and the man from Missouri. Men with the genius and valor of Bourke Cockran and General Phil Sheridan, Irish Immi grants that they were, are entitled to more consideration from would-be funny men. Through the efforts of the Gaelic League all such presentations are bar red from the stage in the east, and the movement is spreading through the country. To accomplish this end, some stale eggs and other such implements were called into action, but the play managers now thoroughly understand the situation, and find that you cannot Insult the people all the time. Such plays as "The Irish Pawn Brokers, "McFadden's Flats," "Ho gan's Ally," exhibiting animals with green whiskers, a hay rope around his Dody, a pug nose, and a pipe In his hat, and all these branded as an Irishman, are no longer presented be fore enlightened, respectable audi ences anywhere. And for these two reasons, viz., that some disturbance might arise during the performance, and that the people at large are sick and tired of it. One of Erin's singers. Miss Mary Blake, has given us some ideas on the subject, the first and last stanzas I subjoin, the balance of the poem treating of the virtues and heroism of the Irish people. OUR RECORD.

My mission on earth, as Is well known to most people who subscribe for and read their county papers and take home the Family Almanac from the drug store, is: To sorrer with the sorrering. To sympathize with the downtrod den; To cheer the bereaved and bowed down. To sell my Pilgrim Pain Alleviator at 25 cents a bottle. To take tintypes at 10 cents a take. To exhibit a. series of moving pic tures that do move and arouse a more lofty sentiment of patriotism and morality in this country.

To encourage my fighting dog to do his best, and thereby win money to found orphan asylums. In carrying out the above mission I do not always meet up with the ap preciation I have come to regard as my due. I no sooner get settled down to the belief that humanity is bub bling over with gratitude and wishing me welli than some incident occurs to prove that I am far, far from knowing- my feller-being. I was showing my show and selling my Alleviator in the town of Red Hot when a deputation of eminent citizens arrived from the town of Busted Hopes ,and besought me to come over there and see what I could do to wards saving the place. People were ready to give away their homes and move away, and a blight was upon the land. In my kindness of heart, I pulled up stakes at Red Hot and made a Journey of thirty miles to obleege those who had everything to lose. On reaching the town I was re ceived with cheers and feasted on the fat of the land, and I cannot say that I was Insensible to the honor. Real estate had jumped 15 a foot before I had been In town an hour. While I was putting up my tent to show my moving pictures I saw more than twenty games of poker in progress at one and the same time, and it was be ing cried out on every hand that Busted Hopes would bust no more. Men came to me to shake hands, and women to shed tears of gratitude. Pilgrim Joe and a boom always go together. A circus or a cyclone helps a town 10 per cent, but the arrival of Pilgrim Joe and his outfit jumps things 60 feet high Over night. I was never feeling prouder and gladder than wnen i opened my snow tnat night The admission was free, and the au dience was a large and cultivated one. I saw people there who had heard of Columbus and Napoleon and Hanni bal, and all around me they were swearing at the Beef Trust in five or six languages. As usual, I made a few preparatory remarks and then showed my first picture, which was Washington at Valley Forge in that hard, cold win ter, when he had nothing but sassa fras tea to drink and nothing but toasted corn-cobs to eat.- The picture had been on the canvass about twen ty seconds when there was a groan. The groan was follered by a yell. Then there was shouting and confusion all over the house, and when it had died away a little an individual rose up and addressed me with: "Sir, kin I take it that you are a patriot?" "You kin," says I. "And that you love the name of Washington?" "I simply hanker for It." "And yet, sir, you left him there to starve amidst his ragged and dis couraged soldiery, and I for one am ready to say that you are a gaul durned mean man." I tried to explain that I wasn't born at that date, and that if I had been Washington would have fed on chicken and pumpkin pie, but the au dience would have none of it. They whooped and yelled and cat-called and finally moved on the enemy. I was the enemy. In Ave minutes my show was wrecked and I was be ing tossed in a blanket and enjoying such feelings of loneliness as had nev er come to me before. When they had toyed with me for half an hour I was allowed to pack up the fragments of my great and wonderful exhibition and drive away into the darkness, and shouts-of anger and 'derision fol lered me for a mile. You can bust CONNER the hopes of a western town, but you can't bust their patriotism. Three days later, when I had patch ed things together and my shattered speerits had been cemented as well as possible under the circumstances, I entered the town of Hurry Up, which has started out to be the metropolis of the Far West. I entered in a hum ble and contrite manner, and was al lowed to pitch my tent and set up my tin-type outfit. Patrons came to me at once, and I was doing a rushing business when a woman who did not remind me of a fairy came along and stood before me and demanded: "Be this Pilgrim Joe?" "She be," I answered. "Does he sorrer with the sorrer ing?" "He do." "Does he bring sunshine to those who walk in the shadder?" "That's me." "And lighten the heart that has been made heavy with misfortune?" "That's me, ma'am. Wouldst have a bottle of this Alleviator to put springs under thy heels and Joy in thy heart? Wouldst have a tin-type that counterfeits nature and make other women Jealous?" "No, none of these," she replied. "I wouldst have a husband. My old man has skipped out with a cross-eyed school-ma'am, and I wouldst replace him with a feller your size." "But I am already a married man. Back in Indiana an old woman wait eth for me. I have not see her since the long ago day that she throwed the coffee mill at my head and I left the shelter of the woodbine to coma west and take up this mission, but there had been no divorce." "Durn divorce!" "And if your old man has skipped the tralalee without the formality of a divorce then your position Is the same." "I said durn divorce!" she shouted. "Law or no law, I'm not going to re main a grass widder when a leetle hustling will do the trick. I am the sorrering. Come and sorrer with me. I am the downtrodden. Lift me up. I am the bereaved and bowed down. Come and cheer me." "Meaning which, ma'am?" I asks. "Meaning that we'll be married within the next half hour or I'll know the reason why. Come, my turtle dove come." But her turtle dove turned away. He wasn't on the turtle. She looked at me a minute, and then seeing that I had made up my mind she set her jaw and walked away, and it was like the walk of a barrel with two sticks under it. In about two minutes ths mayor of the town appears in a state of emoshun and says: "How's this? Don't you do as you advertise "As nigh jut I kin." "Then you get ready to marry my sister and cheer her sorrering heart or take the consequences." "But both of us are already- mar ried and have no divorce," I plead with him. "Makes no difference. She wants a man-critter and It's your business to carry out everything printed on the bills." I was given half an hour to reflect, and. because I said that I preferred death, to marriage, my show was dam aged to the extent of one hundred dol lars, my sacred person was assaulted! In forty different places, and I was drove from the town in Ignominy and several other things. It does seem sometimes as If I would be justified in letting sorrering humanity take care of Itself.

Among the things that Governor Dawson, of "West Virginia, asks the legislature to do, at the special session he has called, is to pass a local option law. Let the good work go on. Local option is next best to prohibition. "Secretary Cortelyou is fatlgueless says the New Tork Globe and the Jacksonville Times-Union adds, "Mark Twain said something like that of an ant with a dried grasshopper leg, but Mark asked what was the sense of It."

That means something. What show has a measure providing for these things got to pass through the House of Representatives as long as Undo Joe is at the helm? They're talking of establishing sep arate schools or classes In New Tork city for backward pupils, pupils who are abnormal in this respect. Other cities In the country might well do the same. It would: prove a boon to the ordinary pupils as well as to the backward ones. "Word now comes from New Tork that a heavy depositor In the bank rupt Knickerbocker Trust company has committed suicide. He would seem to have had more cause to than the officials of wrecked banks unless the latter saw chances of ending their days In Jail staring them in the face. A New Tork woman turned on a phonograph, then turned on the gas and dozed to death to the tune "In the "Wildwoods Where the Bluebells Grow."

A Joint debate on "How to run the party" before the Democratic na tional convention between W. J.

The noise of cracking- pillars and crashing walls has filled the world of late, even as in Samson's time, because men of might have perverted their power. Because the strong have mis used their strength, ruthlessly crush lng whatever hindered their mad struggles for wealth and power, the whole continent has manifested an ominous reaction. As Shakespeare says. "Oh, it Is excellent To have a giant's strength; but it is tyrannous To use it like a giant." There be many who would relate the old story of Samson to the nursery; but the need for his life mes sage was never more acute than today, He is one of those characters whose usefulness consists in serving as a warning to his race. Samson is great In literature as a horrible example. He represents the strong gone wrong. A man of ascetic vows, who should have been a spiritual leader, he became buffoon, a player of boys pranks, a flighty cracker of Jokes, a sensual voluptuary, disregarding his primary obligations of patriotism and piety. The public speaker who tickles men's ears when he ought to stir their hearts; the young men who are addle- pated patrons of pleasure when they ought to be assuming the dignities and responsibilities of real manhood; the idle, favcred classes who regard the world as a toy, rather than as a tool; the children of noble parents, and in heritors of sacred vows, who render no honor to their forbears because they give no service to- their time; the ir responsible rich who think that the public is merely a mine to be ruthless ly exploited; the politician who is patching his own district fences when he should be a statesman serving the nation; the educated, prosperous and "respectable" maei who stoop to sensual pleasures all these are present-day examples of Samsons who have made themselves objects of scorn and contempt, instead of being objects of honor and affection. Samson was Ions on hair, but short on head. He had more muscle than manliness. He was a "good fellow" but a bad man. Strong in sinew, he was weak in will. A private vengeance incited him more intensely than a public service. His lack of dignity was not the wise man's unbending, but the fool's lack of a sense of fitness. The mightiest man of his day, he lent his strength to the playing of childish pranks, and finally permitted it to de part through him at the hands of a woman. Is it any wonder that ne seems to have had many boon com panions but no real friends, and that ho is the one caricature in the whole gallery of Scriptural characters? With all the force of tremendous re cent events behind it, the teaching of Samson's life should be driven home that "noblesse oblige" privilege carries obligations; power creates duties.' "They that are strong," said the Great Teach er, "ought to Dear tne innrmities 01 the weak, and not to please them selves." This western world, above all other lands, needs to be told, in pro phet tones, that power, be it financial power, political power, intellectual power, social power, or the power of position, may honorably be employed only for high and altrustlc ends. This is the truth which has given vitality and force to the ominous socialistic pro paganda of the day. Deep in his heart, the common man feels the injustice of the possession of vast power by a com parative few, who use their power with no sense of stewardship, social service or patriotic duty. The Philistines who fell beneath the ruins of festal hall wnlcn samson wrecked, had scorned and despised their prisoner. They thought themselves safe, and him helpless. One need not be considered an alarmist to say that their case is a monition to our own times. THE SUN WILL SHINE AGAIN. After the civil war, after the black days in 73 and after the panic of twen ty years later in '93. the pessimists, and there is always plenty of them around. could see nothing but disaster ahead. These periods of depression, however, were followed quickly by abounding prosperity In all lines of business and trade. And so will the financial pinch of 1907, the nippers of which are already loosening up. It would seem that one reason for the present unsettled conditions is that we have been going ahead so fast we have used up, for the time being, all available capital. And then a good many individuals have been frightened unnecessarily. They seem to forget the enormous powers of growth possessed by a country of 85,000,000 people with fabulous natural- resources at their command a country with seven times as much coal as all Europe, that con trols the world's cotton trade, produces 7,000.000,000 a year on its farms and $18,000,000,000 a year In its factories. Horace Greeley, at the close of the Civil War, showed the way to resume specie payments in the simple formula "The way to resume is to resume." Re sumption at that time speedily follow ed. Today, the way to do business Is to do business. Nobody can make any money or help anyone' else to make money by stopping work and hoarding capital. That this is beginning to be realized to a very large extent is shown by the fact that the Pennsylvania, New Tork Central, Harrlman lines and other great railroads report that the transfers of -small lots of stock have In the past few weeks Increased by hundreds every day. v." It will help toward a restoration of confidence if people remember that wealth Is not a production of engravers and printers, and that it Is not produced in Wail street. This crooked lane is where It is dissipated- So while count ing up the losses In the market value of securities, it Is welL.'.;to remember that the value of farm products In the last seven years has Increased some billions of dollars, or enough tocounterJ balance the paper losses of a good many miniature panics. The situation of the railroads is typical of the general sta tus of all business in America at this time, only perhaps the railroads prob lem Is a little more aggravating. They are not suffering from a dearth of busi ness, but from a necessity for more fa cilities at a time when they are unable to find the money to finance much need ed improvements in the way of double tracking and terminul facilities as well as extensions. This is one of the most serious fea tures of the present situation for the reason that the railroads are literally the arteries of commerce. To the ex tent that they adequately serve the needs of the manufacturer, the mer chant and the farmer, each will prosper. If either the arteries or the blood fails, both will suffer. Production without transportation is useless. And neither can be accomplished without an ade quate and facile money supply which is bound to cpme through banking an-1 currency reforms- Because the railroad managers be lieve that these facts are becoming more and more generally realized by the people they are getting confident, as one of them puts it, that "The sun will shine again. Indeed, it is beginning to shine now. When the agl tation against the railroads shall have passed away through the equitable set tlement of the differences between them and the people, the money that the peo pie so urgently need to keep abreast with the business of the country will be forthcoming." 1 L JOVRNAL ENTRIES I For some reason or another twelve and one-half cent turkey does not taste the same as twenty cent turkey.

One of the anomalies of the tariff question is, that all the free traders desire a protection for local products. This was plainly Illustrated by resolu tions passed, by the Texas' Sheep Rais ers association which Is composed al most entirely of Democratic free traders. This association resolved against any reduction In the tariff on wool and hides. Of course, because these are local products in which they flrA in tproato1 hut thov tk-ra fnmnant are interested, but they are rampant for free trade on everything else.

Deroit Free Press. WHAT'S THE ANSWER. A Republican was president and congress was overwhelmingly Repub lican at the time of the panic of 1873, which was probably the most disas trous financial reverse since 1837. A Republican was president and there was no thought of a change when the panic of 1884 occurred. The panic of 1893 occurred after a Democratic president was inaugurated, but while the highest protective tariff we had had up to that time was in force, and business was not checked by the elec tion of Mr. Cleveland. The financial panic of 1901 and the present far more severe one were both under a Republican administration and with the highest tariff we ever had in oper ation. Philadelphia Record.

It was her first long journey alone and vast and en trancing as her dreams were of the de lights of California, she knew she should find even her dreams transcended. She took off her stylish little hat and handed It to the "portress," as she men tally dubbed her. Then, with a cushion at her head and another at her feet she set tled back with a sense of replete comfort. But when the sun, with a last wink of his bright Cyclopean eye, .at length dis appeared behind the distant trees, Amoret lurnea ner attention aimlessly to tne people about her. An uninteresting and prosaic collection was her unspoken ver- iM nt aava V. n ....t An,i diet save for n. vprv virintlv newlv-mar- ried couple, who were too silly to be even amusing. What was there, Amoret mused, about a honeymoon that so invariably transformed even the most sensible people into such Insufferable sentimental Idiots? "Las' call to dinnah!" announced the dining ear porter, swinging pompousjy through the train. Amoret opened .her purse In which she was carrying her miniature watch. She glanced at the time and then, feminine fashion, began to investigate the varied contents of her pocketbook. Suddenly she started, then growing very white, leaned back and closed her eyes. The "serious and dignified" .-young man across the aisle had been watching her. He guessed what had happened. How could he help her? Could he ask her to go into dinner with him? Of course not. She'd starve before she'd accept. Well, he might as well dine him self and think over the situation as he did so. As he rose and walked ahead Into the dining car Amoret opened her eyes. She stifled the Impulse to Jump up and follow him. He was the only person in the ear that she liked the lcks of. He was a thoroughbred from tip to toe. But there must be some other way out of this aw ful predicament. She closed her eyes again. All that she could think of was the roll of bills which she had been so long saving for this very trip and which she knew she had that very morning placed in her pocketbook. When Richard Manson returned from the dining car he found Amoret alone. The rest of the passengers were evidently at dinner. Now was his chance. He had thought up no brilliant lead, to be sure, but the proper words must come If he could get up sufficient nerve to speak. He cleared his throat once twice, but the si lence remained otherwise unbroken. The train whizzed on. Richard pretend ed to be reading his paper, but the print might have been Egyptian hieroglyphics. Suddenly he crushed the sheet behind him and turned toward Amoret. "Great heavens!" he exclaimed, and jumping up caught her in his arms Just as she fell forward fainting. He rang the porter's bell furiously. "Get some water, quick!" he command ed, "and send for the maid. Don't lose a minute." "Yas'r. No, sah!" responded the porter, and vanished with something akin to the speed and grace of a hurry-call ambu lance. Meanwhile Richard laid the girl gently down on the seat and got a flask of brandy from his valise. When the por ter returned with the water'and with the excited maid bringing up the rear.Amoret had begun to show signs of consciousness "Here, Sarah," ordered Richard (why "Sarah" he couldn't have told for the life of him), "you take care of her while I go and get some soup. She ought to have gone into tnnner, but but she didn't." Amoret did not refuse the soud Indeed. she didn't think to question where It came from. She even allowed "Sarah" to coax her Into eating a little chicken, and after ward to superintend the making up of her berth. "I'll make it all right with you In the morning," Amoret assured her. "You shan't lose She stopped short, the whole miserable predicament suddenly flashing over her again. But Sarah had not noticed the Interruption. "To' husband's already done dat, hon ey." The curtains were shut tight and Sarah had gone before Amoret could get up courage to anempi an explanation. "How is she now?" inauired Richard anxiously. "Oh, she's Jes good as new, sah. You'll tak dese 11 1 spells mo calmly when you've been ma'led mo' continuous lak'." And with a friendly smile Sarah left the young man staring blankly after her. Here was a situation! In the morning the porter's "first call to breakfast" rang cheeringly through the car. Amoret heard and tried to forget as she went on with her spiritless process of dressing. Richard heard and realized that he must take the bull by the horns. In other words he must' brace himself to speak to the young lady In distress and offer her as sistance. In the course of half an hour Amoret appeared. She glanced up and down the car, evidently looking for some one. Sud denly seeing Richard, to his utter aston ishment she came straight toward him. "I am Miss Blanchard," she said, with out a suspicion of coquetry, for this was a purely business transaction. "I am go ing to take advantage of your kindness to me last night and ask another favor." "I am pleased to be of the slightest ser vice," responded Richard, with fitting sol emnity. "You see. I I" Amoret stopped short in confusion. She had thought It would be so easy! "Yes. I know all about It." Richard fill ed In assuringly. "Suppose we go in to breakfast together and talk It over there." "How do you know all about it?" In quired Amoret in astonishment. I 11 tell you while- we're at breakfast. We'll have to go right in. They're sound ing the last call." "Well. If you think' but that's as far as Amoret got in her hesitation, for Rich ard had started determinedly ahead and there was nothing for her to do but to fol low that fs, unless she wanted to risk a second fainting spell. At breakfast Richard launched the bril liant scheme of telegraphing back to her folks for more money. Why, It would reach her before she got to the end of the the journey. Here was a complication that Amoret hadn't counted on. Telegraph for more money! Where on earth did he think it would come from? "Well, you see I live alone with my aunt who Is quite an old lady," she explained. and it would just worry her to death to get a telegram saying that I'd lost my money. She d-lan t want me to take the journey alone in the first place, and I" t'Of course we won't telegraph, then," broke In Richard brusquely. "You Just let me back you till you get to San Diego. By the way, wno are your mends there7 Maybe I know them." "Oh, -another aunt, sister of the one I live with, and her husband, Mr. Manches- "Damel jaancnesier, xne lavyeri "Yes. Do you know him?" "Very well, though I pever met his fam ily-" Isn t tnat prorownnmr ksuki Amo ret "Then tut makes it au right ror me to ask a favor or you, ooem i nr "Test of course, At isasi, was -au right, anyway. And say, we'll keep on talking our meals together, won't we? Do say yea." Amoret lowered her eyes, bit her Hp to keep back the laughter that was ready to bubble over, and then glanced up at Klch- mu uuauiuetuuoi. "I suppose I may as well," she admitted laughing softly. "You see Sarahs thinks (he knew what Sarah thought, but he was determined she should say the words) well, Sarah thinks you're my husband!' "Sarah may be something of a prophet ess," Richard ventured, and then held his breath, surprised at his own daring. And that's exactly what Sarah proved to be. for two months later Dlek and Am oret were taking their honeymoon trip from San Diego back to Boston. "Do you know, dear," announced Amo ret, "you are exactly what I thought you'd be under similar circumstances the very first night I saw you." "What do you mean, Amoret? Are you admitting that you loved me at first sight?" Amoret's little nose tilted up scornfully. "Don't flatter yourself. You may not have noticed, but there was a bride and groom in the car acting perfectly silly. And as I looked at you I thought that, serious and dignified as you were, you d probably be just aa silly If you were mar riedand you are, Dick. Everybody watching you. Richard went off Into a spasm or mirin. "Amoret." he said suddenly. "I've got the greatest Idea. You remember that money you lost?" (Amoret snruggea ner shoulders. Why shouldn't she remember it?) "Suppose we send it as a wedding fee to Sarah. She's the one who really married us, you know." "How can we when I lost It?" queried Amoret, teasing him. "Oh, you know what I mean, sweet heart." Amoret didn't answer. Instead she turned her head away. Richard watched her curiously, waiting an explanation. Suddenly she faced him, looking &t him in a half-frightened, half -mischievous way through her blushes. "I didn't lose the money after all, Dick. I found It the very next day in another part of my pocketbook. It was after we had breakfast together and I I didn't tell you. So there was really no reason, you see, for our getting married at all, dear est, except that I spent the money on my trousseau." Copyrighted 1907 by Homer Sprague.) The Heroine of Lime Rock Light. Not since Grace Darling has any woman won such fame as a life saver as is Ida Lewis Wilson's due. A Carnegie pension in her old age is the latest but not the greatest of her honors. Grace Darling was the daughter of a lighthouse keeper on Longstone, one of the Fame Islands. The feat that won her instant acclaim was when at the time of the wreck of the steamer Forfarshire in 1838 she and her fath er made two trips in their small boat to where the nine survivors lay and brought them all safely ashore. Eng land resounded with her praise, 750 was raised for her by popular sub scription and her name became the world's byword -for a woman heroine. Five years later she died at the age of 27. Ida Lewis, as she is best known, is now past 70. Her father was the keeper of the Lime Rock Light, in Newport Harbor, but owing to ha crippled condition the work fell to her. Twenty-eight years ago congress made her the official keeper. In all she has saved 18 lives during her stay on Lime Rock, some of them single handed in her boat.' If there has been no such thrilling exploit as Grace Darling's the record of her rescues is much longer. During a blizzard in the winter of 1868 two soldiers on their way from Newport to Fort Adams were capsiz ed. Miss Lewis' put out In her boat, pulled them out of the water ana nursed them back, to consciousness. That was really the beginning of her career as a volunteer life-saver. Con gress voted her a medal and the state legislature its thanks. A fund was raised and she was presented with a boat. Since then, as the number or her rescues increased, she has receiv ed medals and other testimonials. It Is pleasant to think that in her old age she is now well provided for, and that after a life of faithful service at her post her exploits in behalf of hu manity are not forgotten by a fickle public. New York World. Peonages in the South. Almost as remarkable as the vitality of "peonage" in the gulf states was the argument advanced by a lawyer for the defense in the United States circuit court, in New York, the other day. He contended that the constitu tional inhibition of slavery referred only to the kind of slavery the framers of the thirteenth amendment had in mind, and that therefore the constitu tion should be deemed silent on "peonage." The retort of government counsel that peonage was "in voluntary servitude," seems to dispose of the argument that it is not slavery. In the particular case before the court a gang of laboring men sent to the turpentine forests of Florida found that they could not get out without fighting their way through the armed guards of their employers, and were prisoners until the federal authorities were informed of their plight. An other form of peonage is based on what is graphically called "cut throat labor contracts," signed by illiterates who do not realize until they try to give up their jobs that they have- bar gained away their freedom. Of course such contracts. Deing against puoiic policy, are void from the first, but the class of laborers who are vic timized are too ignorant to realize the invalidity of these documents.

From the Atchison Globe.! What has become of the old-fashioned child who went around collecting buttons for a charm string? Are you a Wall Butter?

POLICE HAD GIVEN UP CASE Boy Worked for Kansas Book Company. Parents Loud In Praise of the Wonderful Work of Rescue Made by Prof. Bischoff. Probably Last Service of Public Spiritual Meetings at Security Hall Will Be Held Sunday. THE GENERAL PUBLIC INVITED Professor Bischoff, the clairvoyant, this week located Earl Gould, the 16 year old boy who disappeared from borne last aSturday, and tor whum the police department have been on the look out since that time. The boy had been employed by the Kansas Book Co., on Quincy street, and while going from his work to his home, he lost an envelope containing a 150 dollar bill and two $2.00 bills. It was the lora of the money that caused him to run away as he was afraid of a repremand from his par ents for the loss of the money. "When he failed to appoar at his home his father, Mr. W. R. Cliff of 317 Adams street, notified the police and a search, was immediately insti tuted for the missing boy. Chief Eat on assigned Officer Hull on the case, but after several days work gave it up. It was then the parents of the boy lnllsted the services of Prof. BlschonT and fifteen nours rrom the time he took the case, the boy re turned to his home. Professor Btsch off then set out to find the money and succeeded in locating the envelope that contained the money and says he will be able to return the money to the boy in a few days. A peculiar thing about the case is the manner In which the boy says he was compelled to return home from a command he says, received in a tela- cathlc way from a man who he pick ed from a crowd as Professor Bisch off. The boy had never before seen Bischoff.

It is Possible Tliat In Attempting to Send an Easy Catch to Tart, Roosevelt May Inadvertently Kick Goal. .tP mm miK m rfi BOWSER'S STRAWBERRIES. Tliey May Be on tlie Market Next Season. Inquisitive Boy Say, Captain Jenka, have you ever been in a real light? Captain Jenka Certainly, my boy, I have been married 40 years. A DIPLOMATIC HUSBAND. Mrs. Henpeck WVy sjrs y rokihg at that huzy? Mr. Henpeck Wto. dear, I was Just thinking how awful her hat Mr. Bowser had made a poor show of hanging on to himself during the din ner hour. It had been apparent to Mrs. Bowser from the first that he had some thing to communicate, but he wanted to be questioned about it. She had asked for no information, and when the sitting room had been reached he could stand it no longer. He fussed around for a few minutes and then finally said: "Mrs. Bowser, of course women don't pay much attention to those things, but I presume you have read or heard of the strawberry? "I have even eaten them," she re plied. Then you know that it is one of the most luscious of our small fruits and finds a ready market at a high price. In glancing at the boxes of strawberries In front of a grocery did It ever occur to you how they were grown, where they came from and the profit there was In the business?" "It has, Mr. Bowser. I have never seen one of the berries yet without thinking of the tremendous profits. I think I have read somewhere that thousands and thousands of persons have become millionaires from growing strawberries." Mr. Bowser looked at her for a mln ute to see if she was in earnest and as she kept her face straight he concluded that she was and said: "I wish to have a little talk with you this evening. Something happened to day that I wish to discuss calmly and coldly and in a business way. You have long known "that I am afflicted with lumbago, rheumatism and heart disease." "Certainly. You have got 'em bad. I was Just wondering to myself this af ternoon how much longer you could stand it. You have lived now three years longer than I thought you could." Mr. Bowser opened his mouth to yell "woman!" at her, but closed it again, It was possible that she was not speak- Ing in sarcsam. After a glare he said: "The doctors all tell me that I shall be no better until I get out into the country. That's a matter we have gone over before. You have contended that I was not strong enough to do heavy farm work, and I have let it go at that." 'But you think you are physically able to grow strawberles she demure ly suggested. Ah. now we come to our subject. Did you ever hear of a man named Scruggings?" "I never did." "Too busy attending bargain sales, of course, well Scruggings is a fruit grower. He gave us the Scruggings" strawberry, which leads in lusciousness and sale all others in market. He was in the office today, and hearing that I wanted to get out into the country he made me an offer to take the berry off his hands. He doesn't think the name of Scruggings fits it.- There is no eu phony about it. When you hear the name Scruggings you at once think of a red-headed, squint-eyed man with red whiskers." "But if it was called the Bowser strawberry That's it! You have hit it exactly. There's your euphony. There's the name for the public to roll under Its tongue. Here's your Bowser strawber ries! Nothing like 'em! Fresh, sweet and luscious! Scruggings wants U to be the Bowser strawberry Instead of the Scruggings." "Well?" "Well, we sell this house and lot this winter, and next spring we go out in the country to grow the Bowser straw berry and make ten thousand dollars the very first season. That's what he was getting around to say to you. Ten thousand dollars the first season, and mv health is restored besides. It won't be six .weeks before I'll be holding the plow behind a yoke of oxen." I see." replied Mrs. uowser, "ana now for. details. How extensively do -Vu intend to go into the business?" "Well, the more berries the more money, you know. Scruggings thought I ought to begin with at least a hun dred acres. I can double the "acreage every year for six years. What are you going to do?" "I want to 1 figure a little," replied Mrs. Bowser as she got pencil and pa-npr. But what's the use? Scrugelnsrs and I went over the figures three different times to be sure aoout them." "Yes, but. we'll go over them onca more. What sort of a farm have you in mind?" "Why. about two hundred btp tn begin on. I- think we outrht to ex change even up." yes, but that leaves you without capital to begin the strawberry, bus! ness." Capital? What do we want of can ital?" "Perhaps you won't want anv. but we'll see. The first thing next spring win De to prepare your ground. It must be plowed two ways, dragged levelled and enriched. Do you know wnai tne cost win be? A mere bagatelle." "Just so. If a man and a team pre pares two acres a week they are hus tling, you ll have to buy the team, plows, drags and all that. If you are in a nurry to get the plants in you'll have to set four men and four teams at work. You. must have a wind-mill and at least a thousand feet of hose. Mustn't let your plants burn up in dry season." 11 i tXB UA1 nifu V-UK, BEHIND A YOKE OP OXEM? "There you go!" shouted Mr. Bow ser as he rose up to walk around. "1 knew you'd be making figures before you got through!" We have to, you know. We 11 say your hundred acres are all prepared. and you have got your well, your wind mill, your pipes and your hose. Now comes your plants. What did Mr. Scruggings say he should ask per hundred?" "He he didn't say." "Well, put it at fifty cents a hun dred. They ask that even for the common plants. I think they put four hundred plants to the acre. That's forty thousand plants. The man who sets out an acre of plants per day la doing well. You can keep one man at it a hundred days, or hire five men for twenty days each. The cost will be the same." "By thunder, woman by thun der!" gasped Mr. Bowser. Those acres must be weeded and watered and the runners cut off the plants. Many will naturally die and must be replaced. You must hire fou or five men to do this. "Never, woman! Never in this cold world! You simply sit here making a fool of me. By John, but how you would like to see me on the way to the poorhouse! How you would chuckle!" And now. continued Mrs. Bowser. "we will say your hundred acres of straw berries are ripe. They have got to be picked. You must figure on 2 cents a auart for that, and on at least 200 pickers. Then they must be boxed and" Enough! Enough! I won t listen to another word!" They must be boxed, carted to the de- LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE WANTED A large income assured to anyone who will mt aii our rprrRtnta.tlve after learn ing our business thoroughly by mail; ex perience unnecessary; all we require i honesty, amblt'cn and willingness to learn a lucrative business; no soliciting ur traveling; an exceptional opportunity for those who dtsir. to better their conditions and make mere money.

Contracts have been let by the Santa Fe for improvements in the shop district amounting to $49,675 and this does not include nearly $20, 000 necessary to rebuild the portion of the boiler and machine shops de stroyed by fire Thanksgiving day.

At present there is no building in which the fin ished material coming from the plan ing mil can be stored and if, as it frequently happens, the car repairers are not ready to use it, it remains ex posed to the elements and is damaged to a greater or less extent. When this building is completed it will fill in a gap and make one build ing almost a half mile in length, as the car repair shops are 900 feet in length, the planing mill almost as long and the building which will con nect them 165 feet in length. Another building 80 by 250 feet will be built west of the steel car shops and will be an addition to this building which is far too small for the purpose for which it is used. A locker building will be con structed for the use of the employes in the territory adjacent to the loca tion which it will occupy and it will cost $8,500 and afford accommoda tions for 400 workmen. Each man will have an individual locker in which to keep his clothing. He will be given a key and when he comes to work in the morning his street cloth ing can be placed in his locker where it will be absolutely secure while he is at work. Another locker will be constructed for the use of the men employed about the lumber yard and though it will be considerable smaller than the first its cost will be $1,800, Two lavatories will be constructed for the use of the workmen, after their day's work is completed and these will cost $1,750 each. The basins will be of white enamel ware and the buildings supplied wih hot and cold water. One of Largest In World. The Topeka shops are not only the largest of their kind in the west but in the world and there is not a thing required in the operation of a railroad that cannot be turned out at the Santa Fe shops, Topeka, Kansas, U. S. A. The area covered by the shops is that of a good sized farm, 170 acres being included in the tract and much of the space is under cover and the plans now under advisement contemplate still further improvements. While it is easily the biggest thing in the city from a standpoint of a pay roll it is one of the institutions which has not been affected by the money stringency which has placed many of the larger institutions in the east out of business temporarily at least. Not so at the shops, as there has not been a day since the clearing house rule has been in effect In this country that new men have not been added to the pay roll and one day 60 additional men were employed. Every man who is suitable for any of the varied classes of work about the shops is placed at work and at that there is a shortage of men in sev eral of the departments. Engines .are ordered by the dozen and it has been but a short time since an order was placed for 42 of the big machines and tney are being set up as fast as possi ble and placed in service. One of the most wonderful sights about the shops is the planing mill wrich daily prepares from forty to fifty thousand feet o lumber for the oar repair shops. The really wonder ful feature tsthat all of the machinery- is supplied with power from one Immense steam engine which is fed on the -refuse from the saws, p'anes and waste about the building. Thre Is no scooping, dragging or handling about the process and the big building is as free from dust as the ordinary tore building. Underneath each machine is a re ceptacle which catches the refuse and it is carried upward by means of air shafts and conveyed to te boilers where it is fed Into the furnaces au tomatically. Over the boiler room there Is an Immense iron box and into this the shavings and saw dust first falls and this acts as a reserve to be used in case that the machinery is not supplying tho demands of the fur naces. Not only does the saw dust furnish fuel for the furnaces but it is shipped to other points on the line of the Santa Fe where it is used in a va riety of ways. To Weigh the Cars. An enormous pair of car scales are being installed at this time with a ca pacity of thousands of tons for. the purpose of weighing incoming -and out going cars whether loaded or emp ty and It Is this BCale whlch"- is re sponsible for the -capacity marks ound on all freight, cars. The privilege of spending a week hi the shops if it covld be obtained, would be of vastly greater value to the average man than that length of time spent in traveling about the country. But few Topeka people ap preciate the enormous amount of money and the magnificence of "the Institution which has been building in their midst within the past few years for the greater amount of improve ment has been made during this 1itn.'--J ."Jf.-... .......j, j.ri-. j.

It Provides for National Incorporation of Clearing Houses. New Tork, Nov. 30. It is an nounced that shortly after copgress opens next week Senator Thomas C. Piatt will introduce in the senate a bill providing for the national incor poration of clearing houses. The bill is similar to those which failed of passage in 1896 and 1902. It will pro vide that one clearing house in each state shall have the power to Issue currency to its members and shall maintain a reserve equal to that re quired of national banks. The passage of this bill, it is said, will give con gressional sanction to the plan of is suing clearing house certificates, which has been in operation since the recent financial stringency began. NO SLOW PAYMENT. Knickerbocker Trust Company Will Resume Business Outright. New York, Nov. 30.

ANDVHAVY, Final Big Fotbairuanie of the TSziy 1 Season Today. 1 r ;;;T The Cadets a Slight Favorite Over the Middies. I A TREMENDOUS CROWD Speculators Bush the Price Of Seats Up to $15 Each. High Government Officials of Both Branches Present. Philadelphia, Nov. 30. The army and navy of the United States, or that much or tne personnel as -could find an ex cuse to get away from official duties, are in Philadelphia -today to see the battle on the football field between the coming officers of these branches of the government service. As in former years tne annual contest between the cadets of Annapolis and West Point academies will attract an enormous crowd, and me vast assemDiase. aiwavs a brilliant one, will be thoroughly representative of the national government. Though the president of the United States will not attend he 'will be represented by his daughter Ethel. The army, in the absence of Secretary :of War Taft will be represented by Assistant Secretary .Oliver and Secretary of the Navy Met calf while Assistant Secretary New berry will head the navy contingent. Supporting them on all sides will be admirals of the navy and generals of the army, not to say anything of the hundreds of other officers of the two branches. A small army of military and naval men accompanied by members of their families arrived here yesterday and made things lively throughout hotels where the football teams are quartered. Today nearly 20,000 football visitors came here in special trains from all di rections. Four of these trains came from New Tork, two from West Point, three from Annapolis, three from Washington and others from points nearer this city. The game wil! bo played on Franklin field under the management of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania and notwith standing this fact only about cne-thir.l of the spectators who will see the game are Philadelphians. This is due to the fact that two-thirds of the tickets are distributed equally by the army and navy departments, while the other third is sold Dy tne university oi rennsyi vania for the benefit of the widows and orphans' funds of the two branches of the service. The demand for tickets was many times greater than the sup ply and the university had much diffi culty in alloting its share of rearly 10, 000 seats. Some of the tickets as usual got into the hands of speculators and they are bringing as high as J15 a piece. But as to fthe game itself from a football point of view, It Is of second ary Importance compared with the big gridiron contests or me year, nevenne less it is expected to be a great game. The teams are in fine condition -and each is confident of victory. They, are well matched, although the army men are slight favorites because of their greater experience and better record for the year. The army had suffered but one defeat, that at the hands of Cornell while the navy has twice been beaten. Speaking for the army. Coach Forbes said today: We are not under estimating the navy but we shall be very disappointed if we don't get revenge for the defeat of a year ago." Lieutenant Reeves, of the navy. -said that the sailors had their hearts set on winning this game and had made It packages containing money amount the objective point of their entire ing to Jo, 850 received yesterday at the schedule.

Ue Violated One 1 of Judge Dana's Injunctions. IN THE UPPER COURT. Supreme Tribunal Affirmed Judge Dana's Action. Commitment Is Issued for Mr. Tillotson. A mandate of the supreme court was filed in the office of the district court today affirming the decision in the contempt case made by Judge Dana of the district court on the first day of May. 1906, and will result in F. P. Plamondin being compelled to serve six months in jail and pay a fine of $500 and costs Imposed for a violation of an injunction, issued by the district court. The decision is one which has grown out of the old inquisition cases handled by Judge T. F. Garver, acting as an assistant attorney general under C. C. Coleman. At the time Plamon din operated a joint in the rear of the room adjoining the Copeland hotel on the south and was a thorn in the flesh of the assistant attorney general who was never successful in closing the place. In his efforts to accomplisn this result Judge Garver applied to the district court for an injunction nam ing R. F. Hodgins as the owner f the property and F. P. Plamondin as the proprietor, and it was granted. Plamondin kept right on doing business at the old stand and disre garded the order of the court and was cited for contempt, found guilty and fined J500 and costs and sentenced to six months in the county jail. This case was appealed to the supreme court and the decision of that tribunal means that the fine and Jail sentence imposed by Judge Dana will stand and the defendant must serve the sentence and pay the fine if he can be found. An allowance of $100 was made by the lower court for attorney fees in the case which were to go to the prosecuting attorney and the conten tion of Plamondin's attorneys has been that this Is not legal, as the case is ne'ther a nuisance or sale case but one for contempt. The supreme court held that this ruling of the lower court is in conformity with the statute and it will be attached, to the costs of the case. A commitment has been placed In the hands of Marshal Wintrode by Judge Simon of the city court against D. T. Tillotson, whose fine and costs in an assault case amounting to $210 were ordered remitted some days ago by the board of county commissioners. According to the. mandate of the court Mr. Tillotson is in jail at this tim though action has been withheld until Monday when it is expected that John Schenck. the county attorney, will be in his office.- Mr. Schenck is in Chicago at the bedside of'his-Wlfe who is aer-iotishr-H.

About 18 months ago Mr. Tillotson became involved in a quarrel with M. W. Glass, an officer of the Annuity Union in his office and forcibly ejected him from the building. He was tried for assault at the time and fined $5 and costs, which were light. He ap pealed the case to the district court where it was postponed from time to ,,r,tii .-itT, r,H other costs brought the total fine and oung Baker was wealthy. Edward cost to $210 was the appeal dismissed. i Baker, a brother is contesting a will Mr. Tillotson made an appeal to the j which was executed a short time be board of county commissioners last young Baker died Baker left week to have the fine and costs remit- about one-third of his estate to Nata ted and this was done and he thought j e Hurd, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. that the matter was settled for all time.

STORM OF ASHES. Northern Alaska Covered to a Depth of Several Inches. Portland, Ore., Nov. SO. -A special cable to the Oregonian from Nome, Alaska, says:' Nome and probably the entire sea ward peninsula is shrouded In an ashy haze and the ground for miles is cov ered several inches deep with a fine, gritty powder which is believed to be volcanic ashes. The storm began several days ago, the dust blowing in from the ocean, but at first little attention was paid to the freak of nature, as it was expect ed that it would soon cease. Instead, however, the fall continued and after a day became so dense as to seriously interfere with out of door pursuits. Miners coming into town reported that for miles the snow was so Im pregnated with the ashes that sledding was almost impossible. Further the air is so full of ashes that breathing is difficult and the fine powder was sifted in houses and business places to such an extent that It Is thick on floors and on everything in the way of goods and household furniture. It Is believed that some one of the numer ous volcanic islands, either between this coast and Siberia or more prob able, those island in the Alaska penin sula, or the Aleutian islands, are again in eruption and that the ashy down pour is due to this. No serious results are anticipated but much incon venience is being caused by'the pe culiar storm. CONVERTED 375 A WEEK Dr. Torrey Kept It Up Eight Weeks, Spending $11,000 for Advertising.

TALK BEGINS. Argument bf Counsel in the Mrs. Bradley Case Was Commenced on Opening of Court This Morning. FOUR ROURS TO EACH. Probably Will Be Brought to a Close Monday Afternoon In Time to Charge and Send Out the Jury. Washington, Nov. 80. Arguments in the trial of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley began today immediately after court convened at 10 o'clock. "Oh. I'm so lad it is all over at last," exclaimed Mrs. Annie M. Brad ley, charged yith the murder of for mer Senator Arthur M. Brown of Ltah, as she was led smiling from the court room to the prison van, which was to take her back to Iail vostArduv afternoon. The presentation of evi dence had -Just been concluded and court adjourned until this morning. uusuce caarrora announced that an agreement had been reached among counsel for four hours of argument on each side. These will be completed Monday afternoon and Justice Staf ford said he would then deliver the charge and give the case to the Jury. The testimony of the two govern ment Insanity experts. Dr. Edward M. Brush of Baltimore and Dr. Smith Ely Jelliffe was the feature of the last day's testimony, both of these alienists declaring that there was nothing in the record of the case to indicate that Mrs. Bradley was Insane. Counsel for the defense attempted to Impeach the testimony of these experts by showing they had been called for the government and that as a matter of fact they were testifying in the inter est of the government. Each of them repudiated this charge and declared that they would have testified to her insanity had they found her insane. They were questioned at length and both cited the acts of the defendant testified to by witnesses as showing her to be sane. Passionate oratory marked the pro ceedings today. The court room was unable to accommodate the great number of people who came to wit ness the last scenes of the tragedy that has attracted national attention for nearly a year. Many of the at tendants were ladies and some of them arrived at the city hall long be fore the doors of the court room were opened In order to secure desirable positions from which to witness the events of the day. Mrs. Bradley came Into court as if fully alive tt the importance of the proceedings. She took her accustom ed place where she could be plainly seen-y-the Jurymen -and very near her counsel. Assistant District Attorney Turner opened for the, government and ho was followed by, Mr. Wells of counse' for the defense. Mr. Turner's- Argument. Mr. Turner urged the Jury to cou sider the case on the same basis as u it were a man involved and as if were an ordinary mind involved In stead of the brilliant mind of Mir Bradley. Sympathy, passion or preju dice should not be considered. Shortly after he began his argu ment, he broke down with emotion and the court proceedings were tem porarily suspended. He soon regained his composuif and resumed his arguments. Mr. Turner proceeded in a matte.' of fact way to define the law in rela tion to the crime committed and fo. lowed with a review of salient inci dents of the testimony. While he was describing the scenr of the killing of Brown, an attendant delivered to the district attorney a package containing the pistol whlcli had been used by Mrs. Bradley. A the weapon was uncovered and laid In a convenient place near the speaker. Mrs. Bradley lowered her head and her frame was shaken by a convulsive sob. Closing her eyes she remained as If in a stupor, only occasslonally looking toward the jury and watching their faces. The attorney insisted the Jury should lay aside all sentiment and treat the case exactly as if a man had done the shooting. He exhibited the defendant's ptatol to the jury together with the hand bag in which it had been carried from Salt Lake City until Senator Brown was shot. Mr. Turner characterized as dan gerous the woman who considered a man not her husband more sacred to her than does the wife herself. The assistant district attorney re viewed the evidence of insanity and declared that only the most trivial in cidents could be cited to justify such a theory. He Insisted that the Jury should discard all thought of the mis treatment she had received from Sen ator Brown as it could have nothing to do with their decision. Mr. Turner said that even a horse doctor could have discerned that Mrs. Bradley when she shot Brown was not suffering from toxic Insanity. Mr. Turner concluded at 12:10 with the statement that Mrs. Bradley's act was that of ft sane person deliberately planned. Roberts Wells then opened for the defense. Mr. Wells in beginning the argument for the defense told the Jury that the defense had not submitted Its case on the unwritten law but on the law of the land which safeguarded defenseless women. His argument was so impressive that Mrs. Bradley nearly fainted. Judge Powers, one of-'her counsel, sought to divert her mind by talking to her, but she brushed him away and listened closely to what Mr: Wells was saying Mr. Wells concluded at 12:47 and court adjourned -until Monday morning at 10 o'clock.' i Stanford White Sale Closes.

PAYS $300 PER ACRE. of LOCATE IN 0SKAL00SA Purchase a Half Block in Busi ness Center of Town. Will Raise All of the Vegetables to Can Save Peas. Oskaloosa. Kan.. Nov. 30. One hun dred farmers residing In the vicinity of this town have organized a canning company with a capitalization of $15,- 000 and will commence the erection soon of the plant itself, the ground having already been purchased. Last Friday a half a block of ground was purchased near to the business center by C. B. Noble. David Grayson and C. N. Jaquemin. who acted for the new company. Thirteen thousand dollars win be Invested in the plant, building and machinery, and by next summer it Is expected that the factory will be In active operation ana give employment to from 70 to 300 people. Everything in the vegetable line except peas will be canned and the output will probably exceed that of any other canning fac tory in this part of the state. William P. Davis of Buffalo. New York, has been active in the promotion of the new Industry. Connected with this in a way is an attempt to secure from the Missouri Pacific and Santa Fe railroads the con struction of a spur to Oskaloosa which will make It possible to ship the pro ducts of the canning factory without freighting the same to the two rail roads, the depots of which are removed a good distance from the town, the Mis souri Pacific being two miles away and the Santa Fe three-quarters of a mile. A petition containing 250 names was circulated by C. B. Harman, editor of the Tribune and presented to J. M. Pennington, secretary of the Commer cial club of Oskaloosa. Both roads have agreed to send representatives to look over the local situation and report. Cash Paid at PubUc Sale. Iola, Kan.. Nov. 30.

High Price for a 20 Acre Tract Sedgwick County Land. Wichita, Nov. 30. The highest price ever paid for farm land in Sedg wick county, or probably in Kansas, was made when W. A. Richardson sold to E. H. Nudd twenty acres of his fine farm land two and one-half miles south of Wichita. The land sold for $300 per acre, realizing in all $6,000. The Richardson farm is known as the most fertile piece of soil in the Arkansas valley. It is adapted to the growth of any kind of grain that can be raised in this vicinity. Most of the land is placed under alfalfa cultiva tion. During the past season alfalfa was cut off the patch five times. At aged one and one-half tons per acre, making seven and one-half tons airaira per acre during the season The alfalfa sold for $11.00 per ton bringing $82.00 on each acre of lan during the season. The entire twenty acres added to Mr. Kichardson s- pri vate account $1,640. In four years the products of this twenty acre patch of alfalfa will repay Mr. Nudd the $300 per acre expended on the land Enough currency will be left to pay for the hiring of farm hands to cut and harvest the crops.

WHO'S AMERICUS PATTERSON Ancient Pardon Case Unearthed General Hughes. Who was Americus Patterson, and did he ever get his pardon? These are questions raised today by the dis covery, among some old flies in the of fice of Adjutant General J. W. F. Hughes, of an application to Charles Robinson, first governor of Kansas, for a pardon from states prison of aforesaid Americus Patterson. The old document was turned over to Governor Hoch. It Is questionable whether the ap plication ever reached Gdvernor Robinson, and no one here knows, of course, wnetner Patterson was re leased. The application was probably filed with Governor Robinson about 1861, though it bears no date. The following is a copy of the original document: "To His Excellency, Charles Robln son.

In a signed statement in the current issue of the Railway Age, E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe road, has taken to task Judge Wellbourne of the United States court at Los Angeles for having fined the railroad 1330,000 for pay ment of rebates. After giving a long explanation of the case to show that it was a mistake of a clerk and one of which the offi cers of the company were unaware, and saying that he believes the court to have erred from a misunderstand ing of the conditions and not from a desire to be sensational, Mr. Ripley says: "I refrain from comment except to put before fair minded business men these questions: "What incentive had the clerk to violate the strict orders from his superiors to' conform to the law? If there was no incentive, is it not more than a fair presumption that he did not intend to violate the law?

School Teacher Enforced an Order for Cleanliness on 14-Year-Old Boy. Chicago, Nov. 30. Miss Albertlna Lehmann, a pretty young school teach er of West Hammond, yesterday rolled up her sleeves and by vigorous applica tion of muscle and a scrubbing brush succeeded in maintaining discipline and cleanliness in her school Albert Brant, a boy of 14 years old, and from outward appearances as strong as the teacher, was the victim of her activities. Forty-six pupils en Joyed an exciting half hour, at the end of which the teacher was fatigued, but determined, and Brant was several shades whiter. Several days ago Miss Lehmann be gan a crusade against dirty vifiges, but Brant said he was going to wear his face the way he pleased. When the boy reached school in the morning he saw standing upon the teacher's desk a great pail of soapy water and at its side a brush. Miss Lehman called him to the front of the room and the combat started. The teacher soon gained the advantage. She then unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and rolled back his sleeves, after which she applied the scrub brush. Principal A. G. Deaver and the school janitor had concealed themselves in the hallway in order to meet any emer gency, but their services were not needed. Tlie Department of Music at Bethany College. It scarcely seems necessary to re mind Topeka people of the music de partment of Bethany college. But a reminder Just before the annual re cital can do no harm. Miss Grace Terry, a graduate of the Knox Con servatory cf Muiic and for some years a teacher in that school. Is at the head of the department of instrumental music. Mis Maude Mcintosh, a grad uate of the same college, is at the head of the vocal department. Miss Isabelle Hallinger. Miss Terry's new assistant at Bethany, was graduated from the Columbia School of Music; in the commencement exercises Miss Hallinger was chosen from the several graduates to play the RubiiVtein Con certo, the most important number on the programme and one of the most difficult piano pieces ever written. Such a. fact needs no comment. The elocution teacher at Bethany this year Is Miss Florence Ingraham, a graduate of the Columbia School of Oratory. Miss Ingraham will read at the coming recital.- V: State Journal, 10c a Week. POLITICAltGOSSIP Kansas Day Club Arranging tor Annual Banquet. Officers Expect a Record Break ing Attendance. V,V YOUNG OUT OF WAY. Withdraws From Race Against Congressman Campbell. Judge Rees Formally Announces His Candidacy. The Kansas Day club executive com mittee Is holding a meeting this after noon for the purpose of discussing the programme for the January banquet Nearly all of the district vice presidents ana otner offlcers are in the city. The Republicans will look over the field and decide who they will invite to come here and make the principal speech of the evening. The Democrats have secured Bryan for their Jefferson banquet on February 22. and the Re publicans will try to get a man of equal prominence. Secretary William Vernon said today "This is the year when we usually have a big attendance at the banquet. It is tne year tnat candidate are made, and there is much doing in politics.. I be lieve that the abolition of the passes will not interfere seriously with the banquet. We will have a large attend ance. The Democrats claim that "they will have 1,500 at their Bryan banquet, and we ought to do better than the Democrats. The Coffeyville Journal says: "The withdrawal of P. C. Toung of Fredonla from the fight against the renomina tion of Congressman Campbell has caused terror in the camp of the poll ticians who have been trying to prevent Mr. Campbell from succeeding himself as tne Third district Republican mem ber for congress next year. Young's withdrawal probably means the end of the fight against his renomination for without Wilson county the congress man's opponents will be seriously and proDaDiy fatally handicapped." Judge R. R. Rees of Minneapolis, has given out an official announce ment of his candidacy for the Repub lican nomination for congress in the Fifth district. The statement is digni fied, but decisive, and shows that Mr. Rees is in the race to stay. He says in part: "In taking this step I desire to say that I have no personal grievance or ill will against the Hon. W. A. Calder head, our present representative, but I do have some convictions on public questions that may, or may not, agree with those entertained by him. I be lieve that the sovereign power of the government should be exercised to control, to a reasonable extent, the operations of corporations engaged in Interstate commerce. In theory a corporation is the creature of the par ticular state that grants its charter; but in practice the business and social affairs of a corporation are quite of ten carried on in some other state. Many of the corporations which op erate almost exclusively within this state derive their legal existence from the territory of Arizona or the state of New Jersey. When these corpora tions engage In interstate commerce and demand and receive the privileges of citizens of the United States, so far as to permit them to sue in the feder al courts on the grounds of diverse citizenship in states other than the one to which they owe their legal ex istence, it seems to me that they be come legitimate subjects for proper federal control," Judge Rees cites the Union Pacific's Utah incorporation and other in stances and advocates a federal li cense. Continuing, he says: "I believe in the principle of a pro tective tariff, but the amount of the tariff and the objects on which a tariff is laid should be subjects for revision from time to time. While the country should not be kept in a constant state of uncertainty and turmoil by reason of agitation and legislation, yet I think the time ia now ripe for a revision of the tariff along some lines, particularly with reference to lumber, paper pulp and some of the products of iron and steel. "I believe in the election of United States senator by a direct vote of the people, and I believe that an effort should be made to secure a thorough going direct primary election law to determine, the nomination of all of ficers in this state, and that It should Of Interest To Women.

On the curb in New York, Governor Bailey saw brokers selling money at a prem ium of $1.50 to $2 per hundred. Lawrence World: In many respects Leland would make a good governor. He would not pardon many convicts; nor would he work overtime upon the conservatory of his soul. He would put in office a lot of fellows who had been faithful to him through his long career of political ups and downs, mostly ups, but he would see that they discharged the duties of their offices and kept clear of scandals. We can not imagine him frowning upon one of his appointees for accepting the perquisites and emoluments that the machine standard of ethics permit and that the machine system has developed to such a high standard of perfection for the enrichment of those who serve the public. It would never be necessary for one of his appointees to borrow money. And yet a Leland administration would get things done, and get- them done well. Leland in the governor's chair would run a great political machine But the machine would be perfect in every Cog. And it would run a fair half of the time upon tne state's grist. TO WRECK TAFT TRAIN.

The football championshiD of the Missouri valley is enveloped in a haze of doubt that is too thick to be pene trated Dy the form chart artists. The championship this season is a four cornered affair. St. Louis university, Ames, Nebraska and Washburn are the elevens at ,the four corners. St. Louis university is easily disposed of. The St. Louis school does not adhere to the same rules of eligibility that govern the other Missouri valley teams. St- Louis university has a great football aggrega tion, defeated by Wabash it is true. but nevertheless a football team that would elicit favorable comment any where. But it is more a professional team than an amateur eleven. Only in St. Louis will the Cochems team be credited with the Missouri valley cham pionship. Ames bases its claim to the honor by right of an alleged field goal in the Nebraska game, which Referee Outland disallowed. Ames declares the play was legal, but Outland's decision is final and the game will go down in history as a 10 to 9 .victory for the Cornhuskers. This disposal of Ames, conqueror of Iowa, leaves Nebraska and Washburn to bid for the Missouri val ley honor. Nebraska vanquished Kan sas, which team in turn put Missouri out of the running and were it not for the Topeka eleven the Cornhuskers would be the undisputed holders of the championship. But the Washburn eleven is not to "be put out of the way. Washburn has the champion team of Kansas, and has gone through the sea son meeting the best4 Without defeat. The eleven is a marvel of speed and ac curacy and must ahafe with Nebraska the Missouri 'vallley championship hon ors.

She took Mr. Bryan's hand, however, and they talked pleasantly for several minutes. They parted on terms of renewed friendship. Mr. Bryan's speech was delivered incident to giving the city a $15,000 memorial fountain left to New Haven by the terms of Mr. Bennett's will, of which Mr. Bryan was executor. The will was drafted by Mr. Bryan and contained a sealed -packet, on which was written the Bryan bequest. Mrs. Bennett contested -this part of the will and it- was thrown out of court. Since that time she had never spoken to Mr. Bryan. SCHWAB'S BIG CHARITY. He Gives 56 Acres of Valuable Land for m Hospital. New York, Nov. 30. Charles M. Schwab has presented a tract of 56 acres at Richmond Beach, Staten Island, to the Roman Catholic Sister hood of St. Francis. The sisters will erect thereon a hospital for crippled children. Mr. Schwab bought the property, the assessed valuation of which is $150,000, in 1900, and intend ed converting it into an outing place for poor women and children. Five large buildings, two piers and many bathing houses wera built, and a steamer to ply between the beach and New York was constructed. When the shipbuilding trust collapsed, work at Richmond Beach was stopped and has never been resumed. TO SAVE HER DAUGHTER. A Mother Conf esses to the Crime of Forgery. New York, Nov. 30. In an attempt to save her daughter from imprisonment on a charge of aiding and abetting forgery, Mrs. Mary Alice Dollmger to day confessed to the crime and did all she could to impress the authorities that the daughter Alice knew nothing about the transaction for which she is under arrest. Both mother and daugh ter were held for trial. It is claimed by the authorities that several months ago Mrs. Helen Figge placed a piece of property in the hands of Henry Dollinger for sale. A short time later, it is alleged, Alice Dollinger, his 17-year-old daughter, went to Mrs. Figge for the deeds and other papers connected with the title to the land; saying that her father had found a purchaser. The papers were given to the girl. Soon afterward Dollinger and his daughter.- accompanied by another woman, went to the office of a loan bro ker and the strange woman signed Mrs. Figge a name, to papers calling for a loan of $6,000 on the property. This wo man, it is claimed,-was Mrs. Dollinger. Dollinger was arrested some days ago but Jumped his bail and has disappear ed. A Sriotjfim Accident. Chetopa, Kan., Nov. 30.

All organs of the body are lined with mucous membranes. Any of these organs are, therefore, liable to catarrh. Catarrh is a congestion of the mucous membrane, which pre cedes true inflammation. Many cases of inflammation of the mucous membrane never go farther than the catarrhal stage. Therefore, the catarrhal stage is liable to become a chronic one. DANGER OF CATARRH.

Preceding inflammation of the bowels, there is a catarrhal condition of the mucous membrane lining tho bowels. The same is true of the lungs.

Hill leased the 65,000 acres of iron ore lands belonging to the Great Northern railroad to the United States Steel corporation. Mr Hill bought these lands for about $5,000,000. He sold the mineral rights for a royalty on all the ore that is taken out, start ing at 75 cents a ton and advancing each year at the rate of 24 cents a ton until it finally reaches a ton, The lowest estimate of the ore in the prop erty covered by the lease is 500,000,000 tons, and some experts have put the total as high as 1.000,000,000 tons. The royalties uion the products of these mines, which are a part, of the present and future income of the stockholders of. the.

Tale's "Everlasting Devil's Auction," is to be at the Grand on Friday night. Although old in title it has, as each succeeding season rolls around, proved conclusively its right to the claim that it presents yearly a larger amount of new special and exclusive features, novelties, etc., than any like attraction. Manager Tale announces that the present season marks the twenty-sixth edition of this phenomenal show piece, and that it is better, larger and more entertaining than ever. "In the Bishop's Carriage." In selecting Miss Jessie Busley for the principal role in the play, "In the Bishop's Carriage", which will be seen at the Grand on Thursday night. Mr. George C. Tyler, the executive i head of Llebler Co., was guided as much by the young actress' experience in various strong dramatic roles, as by anything else. When he first made 1,.-- d if 1 a-'V- 1 Maud Lillian Berrl. Wlio Is With "The Grand MokuI." Jessie Busley Appears "In a Bishop's Carriage." the announcement that he had signed a contract to star Miss Busley, he said that in his opinion She should have been given that opportunity five years before. That his Judgment was excel lent, thosa who have seen the play hare no hesitation in saying, for Miss Busley has achieved a veritable tri umph in the portrayal of the char acter of Nance Olden, the girl thief of the play. "The Grand Mogul." 'It is seldom that local theater go ers have an opportunity of witnessing a performance of the Importance of that of Klaw- Erlanger's presenta tion of the new musical comedy. The Grand Mogul.' glows tha press agent, "In its pristine beauty and- with all the original east and gorgeous scenic environments which adorns a produc tion of this kind. It will be seen here at the Grand on next Saturday night w ith every detail, and every member of the b?g cast of 100 prominent sing ers and comedians which character ized the Chicago and New York per formances and made an, impression in both cities second to no -play of -its-class ever seen there. 'The Grand Mogul' Is a modern, up-to-date must- j cal comedy, with all the quaint humor of the talented librettist, Mr. Prank. Pixley, embodied in every, line of itr set to the most delightful' strains of. melody ever -written by' its distin guished .composer, Gustav Xmders, and placed in a locality where, the .niost. beautiful and la viph seenlo splendor, can bo. and has been given to lt, mak--ing In Its entirety a perfect gem of. beauty, rollicking fuh'-'and i" -delicious music.

Types Tof- character In "The Clans man," "which will- be presented at the Grand on" Wednesday night, have ar ready become' household words in the south. Ben and Elsie, Silas Lynch, Nelse and Eve, Aleck. Flora, the scalawag Shrimp and the fanatic Stoneman, are as familiar to theater goers as the persons in the next street. Indeed "The Clansman" is an open sesame to the heart of the old south the south of the reconstruction era and the Ku Klux Klan. It Is being recognized that among the worst characters represented in the play are those, of degenerate white men scalawags and carpetbaggers who unlike the Ignorant blacks knew the good whilst they did the evil. On the other hand, such delightful types of negro loyalty and virtue as Uncle Nelse and Mammy Eve make stronger the bond between the ruling whites and the well-disposed members of the colored race. Above all stalk the giant figures of the Ku Klux Klan, the champions of Anglo-Saxon civilization at the most critical moment of south ern history.. Grand Opera at Kansas City. Beginning Wednesday night, Decem ber 4, Kansas City is to have the most comprehensive season of Italian opera that it has ever had. The Milan com pany which is to give six. performances in Convention hall comes heralded by the most extravagant praise. It is an all Italian company, and all of the sing ers are new to this country, though the principals have established themselves in favor of European and South Ameri can audiences. The Milan comrny numbers almost two hundred people There is a triple cast' of principals, a big chorus, and ballet and an orchestra of forty musicians. Perfect ensemble work has characterized the perform ances throughout, but even then, there are a few voices which are unique be cause of their beauty. Kansas City au diences will no' doubt be very much in terested in the wonderful colorature singing-of Adellha Parovani, the mar velous soprano, who has followed her triumphs abroad by a complete con quest of the few American cities in which she has appeared. The Milan company has a wonderful tenor in Sig norlnl, and a baritone of true, star qual ity In PimazzonL The Milan company's engagement at Convention hall will be played at the lowest prices at which grand opera has ever been given there. The seats are to sell at from 60 cents to $2.00. The mail orders Indicate that cities near Kansas City are. taking much interest in the :Jompaty' first -appearance there.

Mr. Sidney Ayres. formprly the star of the play called "Texas," is the Sun locks to Mr. Wilton Lackaye's Jason in the. letter's production of Hall Caine's "The Bondsman." The Greeba of the cast Is Miss Elsie Ferguson, known here chiefly for her work in music-plays. She has a recent London success to. her credit, in ''The Earl of jPawtucket." Richard .Mansfield always belleveu that it was bad luck to applaud- rehear sals, and he never failed to warn those whom he allowed to witness his own rehearsals to refrain from any outward demonstration of their feelings. Other actors hold to this same belief, and among the managers there is a theory that no greater misfortune could hap pen to a show than to have one or the other actors in it declare, during the rehearsal of the piece, that he consid ered it a good one. Fritsi Scheff has a dozen supersti tions. Miss Scheff is a devout Catholic and she never goes on the stage before crossing herself. She also believes it Is bad luck to walk under a ladder, and she never does so if she possibly can help it. W. T. Hodge holds to the opinion that It is good luck to smoke a cigar after lighting it at the wrong end, and this ha does Just before the opening night of any show in which he ls to take a part. Henry Miller is making arrange ments to send Henry Woodruff In "Brown at Harvard," the "original, college play," which is to be seen in Topeka this season, to London next summer. By then Mr. wooorure win have appeared in this ..lively and sparkling comedy three seasons, dur ing which time he will have presented It In every principal' American city 1 It- ft Scone ta "The ClansmAn," "Which Will Be at the Grand Wednesday Evening. from coast to coast and from the lakes., to the gulf. Gaston Mayer, who cone trols the Adelphl arid' Royalty theaters." London, is very anxious to secure the play for one of his houses, and. Is coming to New York in December ex pressly to see Mr. Miller about the matter, and make final arrangements. E. H. Sothern has commissioned Frank Stayton to write a play for hls Use next season. Mr. Sothern will pro-,' duce a play by. the same dramatist during his New' York engagement this season. It is to be called "Two Pins"., and will be done by Oscar Ashe at His Majesty's theater, London, next month. In London the petition to the premier praying for the abolition of the office of the censor of plays has been issued. It bears 70 signatures, including the names of practically all the prominent authors and dramatists. The names of theatrl-' cal managers are notably absent. Mott of them favor the retention of a censor. The censor is J. H. Radeford. Kyrla Bellew was recently ciceronlng a party of American actors, of both s'-vrs. through the Britism museum. They finally came to the mummy sec tion, one oi the occupants or wnlcn was labeled "B. C. 27." "I suppose," said one of the party, with a woman's usual thoughtless lo quacity, "that is the date of this ono's death." "No," returned Bellew, dryly, "thst Is the number of the automobile that killed him." Maude Adams has begun' rehearsals of her new play, "The Jesters,-" which she will produce in New York, follow- Ing her reappearance at the Empir theater at Christmas time In "Peter r' Pan." Not only will "The Jesters" be controlled by Miss Adams for perform ances in America, but she also holds, through Charles Frohman, the Englhfh rights. This may lead to her first ap- V pearance in England. The fame of William Vaughan Moody is spreading. Arrangements are pend--ing for the presentation of "The Great Divide" in Paris, Berlin, Madrid and Rome. The four translations are well under way, and plans have been finish ed for the appearance of Henry Miller and Miss Margaret An Klin in the wora in London in the spring. Miss Anglui accordingly has abandoned her pro Jected tour of Australia and New Zea land. The coming one will be her flrat appearance on the London stages. Viola Allen has again come under the- direction of her former managers. Liebler Co.. and will be seen about Christmas tim In an adaptation of Henry Bernstein's TlT. "L Bercall." Mists Allen sailed for Paris on October -19 to consult with M. Bernstein and with Louis N. Parker, the adapter, concerning "Le Bercail." the Ameri can rights of which were obtained by -George C. Tyler, manager of Liebler Co.i during his recent trip -abroad. Miss Allen will remain, in Paris nntil the adaptation is made and the play is ready for rehearsal.
