PATTI SINGING AGAIN.
Seats Are Bringing Four Pounds For Her
First Appearacs.

LONDON, June 8.-The principal event
of the week, so far as the theatre is con-
cerned, has been the appearance on Lon
don boards of the two great emotional
actresses, Sarah Bernhardt and EIenora
Duse, the latter appearing only four
times week. 1t is rumored that she is
suffering from consumption and that her
permanent retirement from the stage is
only a matter of short time.
Next week London theater goers will
have an opportunity of contrasting the
widely different methods of those two
great artists in the same parts. Nine.
Bernhardt is to present French version

of Heimat, which in both instances has
been rechristened Magda.
Great interest is taken here in Adelina

WANTS AN ENGLISH HOUSE

Wealthy American Advertises for 3 Big
Establishment to Cost $4,000.
LONDON, June 8.-Some curiosity has
been aroused here over an advertisement
which has just appeared in the news
papers of the city over the signature of
a prominent real estate firm. 1t says:
"a wealthy American wishes to pur
chase historical, residential estate, with
a Tudor or Elizabethan mansion, having
twenty bed rooms. five reception
rooms and 800 to 1000 acres of land.
Would pay about fifty thousand pounds"
A representative of the Associated

HIS PEANUT STAND STAYS.
The Pesnutter Inside the Capital COuldn't
Gust the Outside Peanutter.

Gust the Outside Peanutter.
1t has just leaked out that the man
who sells lemonode and peanuts at the
front entrance to the state house grounds
on Ninth street had influence enough to
make the executive council rescind an
order.
This peanut seller is an old soldier
from Morris county named Alfred World.
He secured permission from the super"
intendent of the state house grounds to
place his pop corn and lemonade sta
ton up against the state house
fence, but the state house
guide who sells that kind of stuff in the
east corridor objected, as he said 1t was
an encrOachment on his rights
The result of the objection was that
the executive council ordered Mr.. World
to move his peanut sphere away from
the state house grounds
Mr.. World applied to his Republican
friends in Morris county.
The other day Harry Richter came to
Topeka and laid Mr.. Worlds case before
the executive council. He told them
that World had six Republican brothers
in Morris county and that il the peanut
stand was not given the right of way an
anti administration delegation might be
expected ie the next state convention
from Morris county.
The executive council at once re-
scinded its order aud World will stay.

AN INTERNATIONAL UNION.
Window Glass Workers Propose World
Wide Federation.

PITTsBURG, Pa. June S.-Preliminary
steps, with a view of forming an
International federation of the
window glass workers of the world,
have been taken by the American
Window Glass Workers association
for the protection of their mutual inter
est. At the coming convention of the
American association, which will meet
in this city on July 18, the proposition
will probably be one of the most import
ant to consider, and an alliance with the
organized workmen of Belgium and
France negotiated.
A strike has been in progress in Bel
gium for several weeks The members
of the window glass workers association
have urged that money be contribut ed
at-once to support the Belgian strikers
If they are in need of it.
The crisis abroad has led to the con-
sideration of the benefits of an interna-
tional union of the craft organizations
Such an allowance was maintained be-
tween the workmen of America and Bel
gium for many years, but the Americans
withdrew.

At 10 o'clock this morning a large
water pipe was broken near the cor

ChaHng Dish Parties.

So great is the rivalry among the
owners of fine chafng dishes and choice
recipes to be cooked in them that
cooking clubs, of both men and women,
frequently meet and prepare luncheon
or ten o'clock supper entirely over the
chafng dish. Each person brings or
sends his dish and the materials for
making it in advance, and the feast is
cooked course by course by the different
chefs. To prevent superabundance
of one kind of food, each guest is noti-
fed of the dishes that will compose the
menu, or permitted to send in word of
the concoction at which he is most
skillful In this fashion chafng dish
party may have much of the delight
and terror of a summer picnic.

EXPECT TROUBLE SUNDAY.

Socialists Demonstration in Vienna
LONDON, June 8-A dispatch to the
Standard from Vienna says that it was
intended that the Socialists demonstra-
ton on Sunday should be prohibited.
Thousands of workmen, however, have
already decided to take part in the pro-
cession, and it may be impossible to pre-
vent demonstration.
The police have orders to do all in their
power to stop the meetings of the social
lists and as the officials have recently
been reprimanded for undue leniency to
those taking part in these movements,
serious trouble is expected.

SETTLES ROGERS CASE.
Decision in the Householder Case Settles
the Rogers Question.

In political circles today it is said that
the decision of the Householder case by
the supreme court settles the Rogers
case.
The court decided that it has no power
to compel the governor to revoke
an order suspending Senator House
holder from the board of char
tiles and the politicians draw the
inference that this also means
that the court will decide that it has no
power to compel the governor to revoke
the order removing Senator Rogers as re-
gent of the university.
