Marie Wainwright's desertion of the so- called legitimate field of the drama, for the more prosaic and infinitely more prof- Itable branch called melodrama, has at- tracted no little attention this season. Miss Wainwright admits that she could not make “both ends meet” in the high- class Shakespearean roles, in which she appeared for S0 many years. “Our taste for Shakespeare seems to be in somewhat of a dormant condition,” she says. ‘“When there are such artistic pro- ductions as Mr. Daly, Mr. Irving and many of our own stars have given us, we can hardly lay .the blame at the door of the long-suffering manager for the non- support of the immortal bard. But, alas, we have fallen upon degenerate times, and we actors and managers must live, and living for us means pleasing the ever fickle playgoer, who must have what he demands. Just now Shakespeare is not his mood. “A few years ago the situation was dif- ferent. The stage was not then flooded with the farcleal trash that is now inun- dating the good and legitimate. Unless the Yubllc wakes :{ to its own degener- acy I cannot see what will become of the drama. You see I take a rather pessimis- tic view of the matter, but it seems to me a most serious question. “I think the fault is due to the state of the country in general, and the pulse of the "peogle is best judged by the amuse- ments they seek. Our men are in a whirl of business and political excitement all day. When they come home they want entertainment that will not tax their tired brains. The gentler sex, who would rath- er follow the loves and sorrows of ‘Heav- enly Rosalind,’ or the ‘Divine Desdemona,” humor their weary lords, and so the houses presenting the frothy matter that their worn out senses crave are crowded, and the manager artistically producing Shakespeare sits forlorn in his office, for few come his way. If the day ever arrives when the overworked male contingent has time and inclination to think and feel af- ter 6 o'clock in the day, then th will crave better things. Then the will go to the theater to seek the good and beautiful for its own sake, and not because ‘they want an antidote for rise and fall of stocks. & ‘‘So much for the frothy stuff. melodrama it is somewhat diffe; melodrama is as legitimate as the po ‘tastes public ways will be so long as it clearly d flgflt and wrong.” A X Miss Louise Maud gave an outing on'l p. m. vah of Sol Wolff, | The Barmitzvah of Sol Wolft, son of| The next morning the # ATE THIRTY GEESE IN THIRTY DAYS —and— OUTH BEND {s proud In the citi- zenship of the champlon goose eater. His name is Charles L. Wurz. He has eaten thirty geese In thirty days. Each of these geese welghed eleven pounds before cooking, and South Bend epicures are amazed. In a month he has eaten twice his weight In geese. This was the song With which Wurz cheered his drooping spirits. For a month he ate goose morning, noon and night: “‘Oh, it is my opinion, That stuffed with sage and inyun, No bird that flies is half so nice As goose with sage and inyun. Goose was with him sleeping and wak- ing. He wrestled successfully with the problem, however, and at the finish was ten pounds heavier than when he began, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Benjamin Rose, the man who took the other end of the bet, lost $200 on Mr. Wurz's remarkable capaci for bird. Those who have successfully tackled thirty small and insignificant quail in thirty days_ will be amazed when they learn that Mr. Wurz not only won hig wager but that he has actually thrived on the diet. It was an ill-fated day when Rose met Wurz a month 280 \é‘p tthe subject of goose as an e “Why,” said Wurz, "I like goose so well that T could get away With one a day for thirty days.” o “You are talking through your hat, replied Rose. “Why, I know a man who tried to eat thirty quail in thirty days, and he got sick on the nm»‘r-vx?(u}' bird and ave it up.

Then the following agreement was drawn up: I am to be given 2 hours to eat one goose a day for 30 successive days 1. Charles Wurz, agree to eat each bird. The geese, after being picked, must welgh no less than six and no more than 11 pounds. All eating must be done in the presence ot duly appointed witresses, who are to be mem- bers of the Elks' Lodge. If I fail to perform the above feat I hereby promise to pay Benjamin Rose the sum of $200. The agreement signed by Rose was as follows: 1, Benjamin Rose, hereby wager Charles L.

It Charies Wurz performs this feat I hereby promise to pay him the sum of $200. ‘When the clock struck the hour of mid- night last Friday night Wurz had com- pleted his thirtieth goose, and Rose handed over the wager of $200, at the same time proclaiming Wurz the cham- pion goose-eater of the world. Never for a moment during the long ordeal did Wurz falter in his task. The first ten geese disappeared like magic, and the weight of the eater increased perceptibly. Then Wurz went about his task with more thought and deliberation. He consulted his appetite with more care and took more exercise. He tried in every way to forget that he was eating goose. Rose took good care to see that every goose was up to the full weight and it is probable that the net gooseflesh eaten by Wurz every day was fully eight pounds. ‘What makes it all the more remarkable is that Wurz weighs only about 165 These por- the gizzard, must be eaten presence of duly appointed 1 Mr. and Mrs. 8.

Continued from Page Seventeen. in price and money is becoming pro- portionately scarcer. Gutierrez is held up to the ignorant natives as the cause of the present hard times. Change the government and change the times was whispered. He has reiterated time and again that he will set an example for future Salvadorian Presidents by stepping out of office on the day his term ex- pires. But the people, chafing under the thoughts of walting a year for that event, have had thelr impatience fanned into fury by the students of the university. And this started: The residents of San Salvador awoke one morning not long ago to find on their doorsteps a little newspaper teeming with burning denunciation of Gutlerrez, his policy and the Govern- ment. The name of the paper was well chosen: El Latigo—The Lash. With all the fire and enthuslasm of hot-blooded youth, the student editors scourged the Government. They plied the lash fiercely and furiously. Next day notice was sent to the rector of the university by the Govern- ment commanding him to see that the paper was suppressed. A meeting of the students was promptly called, and the two young men who had edited the sheet boldly admitted their handi- work. The rector tried in vain to administer reproof. His words were drowned by the bravos, cheers and shouts of ap- proval that rang from the assembled students. Fired by enthusiasm, the editors de- clared that they would continue to publish Fl Latigo even though they were expelled for it. 5 i the second number The next morning P ofbiel newspaper of the town was neglected, and the citizens swallowed the burning editorials in Bl Latigo with their morn- ing coffee. What action would the President take against the irrepres- sible students? That was the one question on every lip. At nightfall the question was an- swered. All that day squads of stu- dents paraded the streets with flying banners whereon was & emblazoned “Free Speech, Free Press.” The youth- ful orators gathered at the street cor- ners and addressed the multitude, grumbling over hard times. It was not difficult to arouse them. Gutlerrez had Iong since lost favor in their eyes. “Santa Maria, what sort of a man is this President? Out with him!" they shouted. Unmolested by the Government the students thus tried their eloquence on the populace. Their blood was stirred and interference on the part of the police was all they thirsted for, because it would have meant a set-to, fight, bloodshed and a baptism of glory for the cause. At nightfall the students assembled n front of the university buildings and there marched to Bolivar Park, ‘where all San Salvador betakes itself 0 the cool of the evening. But this 18 how the revolution pplauded the editors of El Latigo, as the Government and the rector of the university. “Who shall bid us stop our paper Have we not the right of free press; have we not the right of free speech? Shall we maintain our rights? We will. And you, fellow students, will you help us?” “Si! si!” madly yelled the students. But while their shouts were sounding | on the air, mounted regulars and police | charged the crowd and captured the | editors, despite the frantic defense of | their spirited friends. The prisoners were taken to jall, where they spent the night, thus pre- venting the appearance of El Latigo on the following morning. The next day the students were re- leased. after a law forbidding inflam- matory speeches, passed seven years | before, was read to them. The rector of the university refused to allow them to continue their studies. | Formal notices of expulsion were hand- ed them. Immediately a mass-meeting of stu- dents was called and all but twenty de- clared that if the two editors were ex- pelled they would quit college with them. | The rector remained firm, so the stu- dent body quietly marched out of the building, leaving a handful to uphold the dignity of the institution. The rec- tor is the only salaried man jn the uni- versity at San Salvador, all the other instructors giving their services vol- untarily, the lawyers and doctors con- sidering it an honor to be chosen to instruct in the medical and law depart- ments. The students who had voluntarily marched out of the university rented a suitable building, easily secured in- structors and soon had their own uni- versity in good working order. That they would go to such lengths shows how determined they are and what a factor they will be in the forth- coming revolution. A gentleman who has spent many years in Salvador says that the fact that everything has been compara- tively quiet since the discontinuance of El Latigo and the desertion of the State University only goes to show that some definite plan of ‘action has been agreed upon by the dissatisfled. Merchants are said to be waiting for turbulent times to order their goods, for then it will be an easy matter to avoid paying duty. Each little county in Salvador has its contestant for the Presidential plum, and that is a great point in fa- vor of Gutierrez, for they will be di- vided among themselves. The two principal aspirants are Prudencio Al- faro, the present Vice-President, and Carlos Melendez. Another important factor in the contest is the question as to the® where- abouts of the 20,000 stand of arms that the Ezetas supplied their recruits dur- ing the Gutierrez revolution. Nobody knows where those arms are secreted. The probability is that each man hid his own accouterments and that it will be impossible for-either side to lay hands on them, It may be a week, it may be a month before the revolution breaks out. Which side will win? Who can tell? Not even the professional revolu- ? pounds. This would make the total goose actually eaten weigh 240 pounds and the conglomerated goose in its feathers weigh 330 pounds. Wurz and Rose are members of the Order of Elks, and their sood qualities, both in the personal and epicurean lines, are well known. Here is his own story: I did not find it any trouble to eat thir- ty geese in thirty days. I simply quit eating everything else and gave my whole attention to it. I did not suffer ut all from indigestion, as goose is very agreeable to me. I found the greatest trouble with the fried legs and wings, a3 some of them were tough. Every goose was up to the weight limit and was eaten in the presence of reliable wit- nesses. I am ready, after a certain time, to undertake the same task again for a reasonable sum of money. I do not think I would have any trouble in eating two quail a day for thirty consecutive days. —_— e ee——— At a recent meeting of the directors of the New River Company it was stated that, with the exception of a rel- atively small quantity taken from a main belonging to the Midland Rail- way Company, the whole of the water used in the extinction of the great Jewin-street fire in the city of London was supplied from the pipes “of .the New River Company. The total quan- tity drawn by the fire brigade was 15, 000,000 gallons, which is equal to' a weight of 67,000 tons. The whole. of this vast quantity ‘of water was sup- plied free of charge. —_——————————— “Where is my meerschaum: pipe?” asked Mr. Younghusband, ‘prowling around his library, angrily. “Here it is, dear,” replied Mrs. Y., of- fering him a dark-colored object. “You know I knew how long you'd been trying to color it and how anxious you were about it, and so to-day I was very busy, like a good little wife, and painted it beautifully in oils and a lit- tle gilding. I knew you'd like it.” ", A s Miss Griffin, planist, were the chief feat: ures.
