STILL ATTRACTION SIX HURT IN COLLISION AFTER YULE SUICIDE By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 26.—Double misfortune resulted from a Christmas party attended by several married cou- | ples in the Bronx last night. In the midst of the festivities Louis Saul, 36, a butcher, walked into his hostess’ kitchen and stabbed himself in the breast with a carving knife. In falling, he fractured his skull against the kitchen sink and died. Police were told he was unhappy because his wife kissed every one at the party. Police bundled the others present into a patrol wagon and started for u station house. On the way the patrol collided with an automobile driven by an intoxicated reveler. Six of the oc- cupants of the patrol, including one po- liceman, were slightly injured. That “Rest on Dime.” bub ot any skyscraper not any ince it aspired from lower Broad- had such ise.

LONDON (#)—Edgar Wallace, the writer of mystery thrillers, got one of the biggest surprises of his life when he visited Sing Sing Prison in New York and saw convicts smoking cigars. “Convicts and warders in a great American prison are just boys togeth- er,” he told the ships news reporters on his return here. “The prisoners come out in the exercise yard smoking cigars and doing much as they like.” To an Englishman -who knows his prisons this is indeed a surprising con- firmation of the tales told of “coddling” convicts in America. For in England a judge takes away more than a man’s liberty when he sentences him to prison —he takes away his cigarettes, his cigars, his pipe and his chewing tobacco. ‘Tobacco is smoked and chewed in English prisons, nevertheless, but most of it is smuggled in.

NEW YORK, December 26 (#).—Eddie Prinz, stage dance director, and Keitha Rayne of Fort Worth, Tex., musical comedy dancer, have become Mr. and Mrs. Prinz for the third time. Ten months ago their first wedding was followed by an annulment. Later they met at a rehearsal. A second wedding proved to be a joke. The “minister” was an actor. He told them right after the ceremony, and forthwith they eloped to Media, Pa, and found a boni fide clergyman to officiate.

LONDON (N.AN.A).—An unusual festival of opera is to open at the Scala Theater, in London, December 30. It has been arranged by Robert Stuart, a young barrister, who founded the Oxford Opera Club. Mr. Stuart has got together a brilliant company. Nine works will be given, including Monteverde's “Orpheus,” not done pro- fessionally in full since 1607; “Cupid and Death,” which was written in Com- monwealth times and which would have been banned in those days if it had been called “a play.” Labeled, “A Moral Entertainment,” however, it was duly allowed to be performed.

In 1890, out of a population of 5, 048,729, more than 75 per cent could neither read nor write. Then thousands of schools were opened.
