A Fact About the Stage. Many of the plays that are pre- sented on the stage today depend upon exaggeration, dime-novel plots, blood-and-thunder, pistols, explo- sions and sensational features. To some extent this kind of drama is successful because there are people consider the impossibility of some of the plots. But those who enjoy a clean, natural and consistent play | that is built around a pure heart- story without any blood curdling situations, knock-downs and drag- outs, will find a delightful treat in witnessing “The Girl and the Gawk’ at-the City Opera House Oct. 19th, Fast Time, Going South.

The young man and the girl were standing outside the front door, having a final chat after his evening call. He was leaning against the doorpost, talk- ing in low tones. Presently the young lady looked round to discover her fa- ther in the doorway clad in a dressing gown. “Why, father, what in the world is the matter?” she inquired. “Jobn,” said the father, addressing himself to the young man, “you know I have never complained about your staying late, and 1 am not going to complain of that now. But for good- ness’ sake stop leaning against the bell push and let the rest of the family get some sleep.” Sweet Revenge. Mrs. Shopper (after inspecting every- thing in the store)—I don’t see any- thing here that suits me. I suppose I may as well go down to Stacys’ and see what they bave. They usually have a good assortment. Salesman—Here’s a card of one of their salesmen. Won't you kindly ask for him? Mrs, Shopper — Ah! yours, 1 presume?

Large boys, in short trousers, shirt- walsts and big bow ties, carried tops and marbles, and the girls, with their hair in pigtails, adorned with big rib- bons, nursed dolls and teddy bears and played with jacks. Immediately upon the assembling of school the boys commenced spinning tops and rolling marbles on the floor. Efforts to restore order were un- availing and the senior and junior classes, among which were the chief offenders, were dismissed. The pu- pils gathered outside the wings of the study hall and kept the school in an uproar by loud yells of defiance. Prin- cipal H. M. Barrett finally made a talk to the pupils and they agreed to return to the school and behave. Members of the school board say that they will remain firm in their de- cision against football. PAY TRIBUTE TO PIONEERS Commemorative Services at Woman 8uffrage Convention. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. I . —Tributes to the ploneers in the woman suffrage movement and a study of ways and means to spread the propaganda in ‘the future engrossed the attention of the delegates at the day’s session of the fortieth annual convention of the National American Woman's Suffrage assoclation. The speakers at the commemorative services in honor of the first woman’s rights convention included many de- scendants of the delegates who took part in that gathering at Seneca Falls in 1848. “It is only by comparison,” said Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, speaking of the famous Seneca Falls convention, “that we are able today to understand what those brave women endured to secure the things which we accept as a mat- ter of course. These women started the greatest revolution the world has ever known and in the sixty years since that time women have gained more than in the 600 years preceding them.” Reports of state presidents were submitted.

PERFIDY OF THE POWERS Leaders of the Young Turks in Paris Express in Strong Terms Their Opinion of the Plan Agreed on for the Settiement of the Balkan Crisis and Declare Turkey's Answer Will Be a Refusal to Accept It. Paris, Oct. 1 —Naoum Pasha, the Turkish- ambassador to France, in an interview on the situation in the Bal- kans, said that the programme of the international conference made public Yhursday was not acceptable to Tur- key as a basis of negotiations. “We asked the signatories of the Berlin treaty to take concerted action for the breaches in the treaty in the matter of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” he said. “Now, with many professions of friendship and sympathy Great Britain, France and Russia reply with a programme recognizing the inde- pendence of Bulgaria and the annex- ation of Bosnia and Herzegovina as accomplished facts and dealing other- wise with matters in which Turkey is not concerned. Sympathy is well enough—Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany and Italy undoubtedly are sympathetic also—but what we want Is redress.” The leaders of the Young Turkey parly who are in Paris express in even stronger terms their opinion that Turkey cannot accept this programme. They speak violently of what they term the “perfidy of the powers” and declare that Turkey’s reply will be worthy the new regime. M. Stancioff, the diplomatic agent in Paris of Bulgaria, said that the pro- gramme announced would satisfy Bul- garia. Communication Cut Off.

At the opening of the sitting Mr. Grayson repeated his noisy protest against the postponement of the con- sideration of the question of the un- employed and announced his intention to obstruct business until he gained his point. As the Sociallst member refused to obey the orders of the speaker Premier Asquith moved his suspension, which was carried unani- mously. Furious at the jeers of his col- leagues Mr. Grayson turned. at the exit of the chamber and howled the single word, “murderers.” Dynamite Kills 8ix.

SPECTACULAR BLAZE. Pire at Chioago Destroys Property Valued at $1,000,000. Chicago, Oct. 1/—Property valued at almost $1,000,000 was destroyed by a fire which consumed the Interna- tlonal Salt company’s docks, the offices of the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern rafl- way and fifty freight cars at One Hun- dred and Third street and the Calumet siver. The flames assumed such a threatening attitude that for a time grave fears were entertained for the $AISTy Of WO Lig Bram [reight boats lying in the river and tde Calumet elevator, which, it is said, contains more than one million bushels of corn. The salt docks were practically de- stroyed within half an hour after the alarm of fire had been sent in. Four years ago the docks were destroyed by fire, incurring a loss at that time of more than $1,000,000. The freight- ers were towed to a place of safety by a fireboat after the flames had reached within fifty feet of them. Ten com- panies of firemen were detailed for almost an hour at the elevator and succeeded in preventing the flames from reaching it. The fire was one of the most spec- tacular thai has been witnessed in Chicago for many years. Thousands of persons hurried to the scene and the police had considerable trouble in keeping the crowds outside the fire line. Rumors were current that the fire started from sparks from a pass- ing engine, but railroad officials de- clared that no engines were in the neighborhood for almost an hour be- fore the fire was discovered. MR. TAFT SPEAKS AT CHATTANOOGA, TENN. Repuhlican Gandidate for Presi- dent in tne South. Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 1'—Will- fam H. Taft's first argument to South- ern Democrats, together with his rea- sons for giving the South its first glimpse of a Republican presidential candidate, was delivered here to an audience which packed the Audi- torium, the largest hall in the city. The candidate was met at the. sta- tion by a large reception committee, composed, it was said, of as many Democrats as Republicans. His reception here was characteris- tic of the extreme cordiality for which the South is noted. He was greeted with “Dixie” by a band before he left his car and the same tune was played while he was being ushered into the Auditorium. Judge Taft, after being introduced by H. Clay Evans, paid his respects, first to Chattanooga, wkich he said he had not regarded as so very far South and for which he had a strong friend- ly feeling. In concluding his remarks he said: “It is quite possible that we may not get a single electoral vote in the South. I think we will get enough without it; but nothing would gratify me more than if I could enter the presidential chair with the feeling that in the electoral vote that put me there was the vote of Tennessee and Kentucky.” MILLERS PLAN TO FIGHT.
