REAR-END GOLLISION AT : INTERNATIONAL FALLS Work Train Backed Into South-Bound Passenger Train Last Evening.— Nobody Badly Injured. A rear-end collision occured at International Falls last evening which caused a delay of two hours in the departure of the M. & L. In- ternational Falls-St. Paul south- bound passenger train, and shook up the train generally, although no one was seriously hurt, The passenger train was standing on the main track while the engine was taking water at the tank. A working train, which had = been shunting cars on the switch, got on- to the main track, and for some un- known reason, backed into the rear of the passenger train. The sleeper at the rearof the passenger train was so badly damaged that it was detached from the train and left at International Falls, and it took some two hours to clear the right-of-way and start the train southward, without any sleeper. The fireman on the passenger train was shaken up quite badly, but beyond a few bruises was not seriously hurt. None of the passen- gers were injured. Molly Bawn. There is no lack of comedy interest in "Molly Bawn,” the new play by Beaulah Poynter, which comes to the City Opera House Monday night, Sept. 27. The dramatization of “The Duchess” famous love story has been deftly handled by this young and aspiring play builder aud while the original story has been pre- served, there has been introduced comedy situationsthat are said to be highly mirth provoking and yet absolutely consistent with the plot. Laughter chases away the tear ere 1t has left the eye, and while essenti- ally a play of sentiment, the author has recognized that the purpose of the stage is to entertain as well as educate and elevate, and hence the many delightful comedy situations with which the play abounds. “The Dutchess” novel has been s0 widely circulated and read that it would seem that a following for the play bad already been created, but even those who have not read this fascinating tale of Irish life and love, will be sure to find an absorbing in- terest in the story asit is told in the four acts of the play. The locale of the playis laid at the beautiful Lakes of Killarney in Ireland, and the English manor home of the heroine’s gorgeous scenic effects. a fact that has been amply taken advantage of by Messrs. Nixon & Co., who it is said have provided a scenic equipement of surpassing beauty. The company is one of a high standard of excel- lence and the production in its en- tirety is said to be one of the season’s best offerings.

It is already beginning to pour into the various ports. Such an inrush has never been known in the history of the United States. The number of art shipments entering New York is so great the ex- aminer is swamped. Americans are buylng millions of dollars’ worth of costly paintings abroad and having them brought over. One Philadelphia millionaire has, ac- cording to information in the posses- sion of customs officials in the treas- ury department, recently purchased $200,000 of these works of art for his home.

MILLIONS VIEW VAST PAGEANT Thousand Vessels Partici- pate in River Parade, LINE FIFTEEN MILES LONG Fifty-seven Warships, Representing the United States and the Leading Countries of Europe. Take Part in 8tirring Spectacle—Hudson-Fulton Celebration at New York City Gets Under Way in Manner. New York, Sept. 27.—Fully 5,000,000 people, gathered along the Hudson river, viewed the most impressive pageant that ever floated in New York harbor. The affair was in connection with the Hudson-Fulton celebration. Humanly speaking the city was a shell, with probably two-thirds of its population massed on its water front. From the Battery to Spuyten Duyval the sloping western edge of Manhat- tan island afforded a vantage ground from which 2,000,000 spectators viewed the naval parade that moved up and down the river. Two million more lined the Jersey shore and on the western water front of Brooklyn, facing the bay, at least half that num- ber watched the gathering of this pageant in the waters between the mainland and Staten Island. The pageant consisted of fully a thousand vessels, varying in type from ithe one man catboat to the mighty British battleship Inflexible. In detail the fleet was made up as follows: Fifty-seven warships, representing the navies of the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Hol- land, Mexico and Argentina—450,000 tons of steel, bearing 28,000 officers and men and armed with 1,897 guns. Copies of the Half Moon and Cler- mont, so faithful to the original mod- els in every detail that Hudson and Fulton themselves would have been puzzled to tell the difference. One hundred and twenty steamboats and ferryboats. Seventy-five steam yachts and sev- enty-five motor boats. Three hundred tugs and steam light- ers. Four hundred sailing craft and small Iaunches. - Imposing Naval Procession. The day's first spectacle was the as- sembling of the naval pageant in the upper bay. Between 10 and 11 o’clock the squadron of four American crujs- ers and five submarines assigned to escort the Half Moon and the Cler- mont met in the Kill von Kull, be- tween Staten Island and the New Jer- sey shore. The Clermont was towed from its night anchorage at Staple- ton, S. I, to join the Half Moon off St. George. Then, with the escort trailing to the rear, the two little craft which - epitomize the celebration cruised along the Brooklyn shore in sight of the spectators that blackened every street and housetop in view. Meanwhile the rest of the parade was assembling and when the Half Moon and the Clermont finished their round of the upper bay and sailed into the mouth of the Hudson they fell into line. The assembling of the 500 or more boats that followed Hudson’s and Fulton’s craft up the river occu- pled the whole morning and it was late when the mass straightened out into something like procession forma- tion. The boats moved up the Hudson in double line at a speed of about eight miles an hour, but such was the num- ber of participants and the distances necessarily maintained between each that the column was nearly fifteen miles long. The Half Moon and the Clermont went only as far as One Hundred and Tenth street, where the land cere- monies of the day occurred, with speeches by Governor Hughes and others. In the evening the participants in the day parade went over the same route, the river being gorgeously illu- minated. SURVIVES ELECTRIC JOLT Man Lives Though 30,000 Volts Pass Through Him. San Francisco, Sept. 27.—Thirty thousand volts of electricity passed through the body of Earl Ennis, man- ager of the Western Wireless Equip- ment company, and he lives to tell the tale. Ennis received a severe shock while he was adjusting his sending keys. He declares that it was due to the improper workings of a transformer, which increased the current a thou- sand fold. ) The force of the shock hurled Ennis twelve feet across the room, landing him against the wall and rendering him unccnscious. Most Auspicious May Recover Nearly $2,000,000. Chicago, Sept. 27.—Through a de cision rendered in the circuit court here the city of Chicago may recover damages of nearly $2,000,000 from the Pennsylvania railroad, whose comw struction of viaducts lessened the value of adjoining property. While the damages awarded in this case are. only $4,700 the court’s ruling is taken to be indicative of the results in the twenty-five similar suits pending. DESCENDED FROM MONGOLS Is Made to Naturalization of Turks.

On the long ride over the p: and steep grades of the Rocky mountains and, in fact, ever since he left Denver, the presi- dential train has been preceded by a pilot train and followed by a “loose engine.” C. H. Schlacks, vice presi- dent and general manager of the Den- ver and Rio Grande system, attached his own car to the president’s train at Denver and will go through with him to Salt Lake City. President Taft, on the eve of his departure from Beverly 2 little more than a weck ago, said that he expect- ed to make scventy-five speeches on his trip of ht weeks.
