Maurice Barrymore, the once famous ! actor, was once in London with a new piece which he was anxious to have produced. He had read it to a man- ager, and It had been decided that he was to play the leading role. About a week after it was supposed to have been definitely settled Barrymore re- celved a note from the manager ask- ing him to call. Barrymore ecalled, and the manager said: “I like the plece, old fellow, but I don't see how I can | use you In the cast. Your beastly American dlalect won't do at all, you know. They won't have it.” “Well, that’s stvange,” sald Barry- more. “They told me on the other side that they wouldn't have me on account of my beastly English dialect.

A London exquisite had gone into a west end restaurant and was far from pleased with the way in which his or- der was filled. “Do you call that a veal cutlet?’ he demanded of the waiter. ‘“Why, such a cutlet as that is an insult to every self respecting calf In the British em- pire.” The waiter hung his head for a mo- ment, but recovered himself and said in a tone of respectful apology: “I really didun't Intend to insult you, sir!"—London Answers.

Chicago, May 15.—A recurrence of tial transactions on the board of trade,’ but opening quotations showed a much narrower range. THe tendency at the start was toward higher prices, but enormous realizing sales quickly car- ried prices down from 1 to 3 cents per bushel. From 96% to 97%, the opening quotations on July, the price drepped back to 94%. September opened at 97% to 98 and declined to 96%. December sold off to 984, after opening at 99% to 99%. ‘When the confusion attending the opening transactions had subsided somewhat and it was found that prices showed comparatively small. gains those who had wheat for sale at a profit flooded the pit with their offer- ings and the result was a quick de- cline. After prices had dropped back from 1 to 3 cents the buying again be- gan on an enormous scale and prices rallied ahout 1 cent from the low point. At th& end of the first half-hour of trading July was selling around 95%. At the same time the September op- tion was being bought around 97 and December at 98%. At noon May wheat sold at 92, July at 94 and September at 96. A wide- spread profit taking movement was evident all forenoon. Heavy realizing continued to de- press prices until within thirty min- utes of the close,” when the lowest prices of the day were reached, July at 93%, September at 95% and De- cembét at 97. This movement having exhausted itself for the time being the market reacted on renewed buy- ing. July touched 96, September 98 and December 99%. The close was active and riérvous. Only once was dollar wheat a fact in the pit during the day and that for a fleeting moment after the opening, when somebody bid a small quantity of December at that price. GREEN BUG DISAPPEARING Wheat Destroyer Being Exterminated by Its Parasite. ‘Washington, May 15—It is an- nounced by the agricultural depart- ment that the green bug, or spring grain aphis, which has done so much damage to wheat and other small grains in Texas, Oklahoma and in a few of the southern counties of Kan- sas, already is practically exter- minated by its natural parasite, a very minute black fly. In Texas and Oklahoma the bug practically has dis- appeared through the action of the parasite and a report from Soutfern Kansas states that at least 50 per cent of the bugs now are parasitized in all the infested fields“in that section. The report adds that if the present weather continues through the pres- ent week the bug will have been ab- solutely exterminated. “Millions of parasites,” continues the report, “are coming out in every wheat field and the green bug has been overtaken and controlled by its natural enemy and there seems to be little, if any, fear of further damage.” The bureau of entomology of the agricultural department has aided the work by sending hundreds of thou- sands of the parasites from Oklahoma and Texas'Into Kansas. Three agents of the bureau now are in the field directing the onslaught on the bug. FIGHT FOR THE SPOILS.

Dublig, May 15—The active hostil- ity of the Catholic church against Mr. Birrell’'s Irish-bill renders specially difficult John E. Redmond’s task of securing its approval by the forthcom- ing Nationalist convention. Cardinal Logue, primate of all Ireland, has now joined Archbishop Walsh and the bishops of Limerick and Kildare in denouncing the measure and the lead given by these prelates is particularly fateful, as practically every parish priest in Ireland will be a delegate to the convention. The Nationalist re- volt is being assiduously stimulated by Timothy M. Healy, William O’Brien and other politicians. Mr. Healy, In an open letter, declared that the “in- troduction of the bill was the worst day’s work done for Ireland in my time and to proceed with it would be a crime against the Irish nation.” “The first draft of the bill,” Mr. Healy added, “was better than the last. Each.fresh draft grew steadily worse under the shears of Rosebery- ism,” referring-to Foreign Secretary Grey, War Secretary Haldane and Chancellor of the Exchequer Asquith, followers of Lord Rosebery, who are members of the cabinet.

TAFT MEN NOT ALL PLEASED Many of His Followers Urge the Ne- cessity of a Showdown ‘at the Pres- ent Time of fhe Actual Strength of the Opposing Factions. Columbus, O., May 16.—The call for the meeting of the Republican state central committee, which was to be held here at the same time with the state conference of Republican party leaders, has been cancelled. The decision to rescind the call was reached by Chairman Walter F. Brown after a series of conferences with prominent Republicans, chief among ‘whom were Governor Harris and Ar- thur I. Vorys, the magager of the Taft campaign. The opinion of Chair- man Brown was that inasmuch as the committee meeting had been request- ed by Senator Dick as an adjunct to the general conference and as the larger meeting had been cancelled by the parties who had advocated it there was no especial need for the state central committee to meet alone. This decision was not entirely in harmony with the opinions of many of the Taft followers in various parts of the state and throughout the morning telephone and telegraph messages poured in upon Chairman Brown and Mr. Vorys urging that the meeting of the committee be insisted upon. Many of these dispatches urged the impor- tance of a showdown among the mem- bers of the committee, declaring that the result would be that the majority would be for Taft and not with the two senators as has been claimed. Chairman Brown, however, decided that no actual good would follow a meeting of the committee at this time and called the meeting off. The Foraker people insist that a meeting of the committee would have shown that the party organization is still with him and Senator Dick. AGREES WITH ROOSEVELT Railroad Official Favors National Reg- ulation. Syracuse, N. Y., May 15.—Second Vice President W. C. Brown of the New York Central railroad, in an ad- dress at the annual banquet of the Syracuse chamber of commerce, en- dorsed the stand taken by President Roosevelt with regard to corporations. “I am firmly in favor of the regula- tion of the railroads and all other corporations by -the nation and the states. The power which creates can and should regulate,” said Mr. Brown. “From the standpoint of the public and the railroads I would regard any backward step in the great principle of corporate regulations as a serious mistake. “The business of the railroads should be as open and public as that of the national banks; rates should be rea- sonable, stable and absolutely equal to all. This regulation of the railroads, however, should be undertaken in a spirit of the most liberal conserva- tism; the radical on both sides should be suppressed.” CHINA IS INDIGNANT Japan Accused of Gross Breach of Faith. Mukden, Mav 15—The repeated promises made by the Japanese for the past three years to return to China the property appropriated through the exigencies of war are still unfulfilled. In consequece of this China i express- ing much indignation at what is con- sidered a gross breach of faith. Yet the recovery is considered doubtful of a large amount of government and pri- vate property in numerous places throughout Manchuria -which was ap- | propriated by Japan without compen- sation on the sole pretext that China had failed to observe neutrality in al- lowing Russia to occupy these build- ings, mines and land. This excuse is not considered honest, because Japan is fully aware of China’s helplessness to enforce neutrality, while Japan, in regard to abuse of neutrality, is con- sidered equally guilty. Russia holds much appropriated property, which bas been leased to Japanese traders without any compensation to China. NOW GOES TO EMPEROR. Reichstag Finally. Approves Commer- cial Treaty.
