PAPER MACHE STAGE "PROPS

Within the past century papier-mache. as
material for manufacturing theatrical
properties, has supplanted many other ma
terials formerly used for that purpose.
Years ago these these things, which
transform. the stage into such realistic
scenes of woudrous beauty, were
carved out of wood or nodded in metal
or clay. Now almost every objec.
detached from the scenery is made of
papier-mache-the statues and sphinx at
the door of the millionaire's mansion, the
large Egyptian vases which adorn the
kings palace, and the ornamental work of
the chair in which he 81 s, the swan boat in
which the young prince arrives. and even
the tray on which his wine is served.
Papier-mache is simple mixture of
straw paper, water and size. yet this ma
terial for manufac uring props" is prefer
able to others for various reasons; it is
lighter, cheaper and more durable.
The process, too, is an interesting one.
The property man of Chicago theater re-

r1inister TerriIi's Information Regarding the
Situation Of Missionaries
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Ihe president
today made response to the senate resolu-
ton of December 4 calling for information
received by the state department respect
ing affairs in Turkey. The response is in
the shape of report by Secretary Cl-
ney, summarizing but not includ-
ing the official correspondence and
beginning with the massacres at Moosh in
August, 1894. In substance the secrei ary's
report recounts all that had been done to
protect American citizens against RIO ers,
and shows that while their property has
suffered in two instances, they have no
been injured in person. He quotes Minis
ter Terrill as estimating the number of
Armenians killed at 10000, and after cit.
ing several cases wherein naturalized
Americans had been oppressiveiy treated,
states proper steps had been taken 10 Sc
cure indemnity in all cases, and protect
our naturalized citizens in their treaty
rights.
The secretary quotes Minister Terrill as
notifying the porte thati one of the Amer-
can women teachers of the American
school at Hadjin was injured he would
demand the head of the Yamakan of Utd-
jim. Olney closes as follows: AT the pre-
sent moment, the temporary lull in turbu-
lence it is believed it will be more appar-
ent THAI real. telegram just received
from the minister, under date of
December 10th, expresses the gravest
apprehensions concerning the ultimate
fate of American citizens in the disturbed
region, unless the appalling massacres can
be stopped by the united efforts of the
Christian powers. He sees no hope what
ever of European concert to that end. He
says if the missionaries wish to leave
Turkey he can procure their transporta-
ton to Christian ports and adds that
women and children should quit Turkey.
