| tween the wreck and the shore.
Coming abreast of the wreck, p. epara
tions are made to get line to the yes
sci. Each man has his part Vt the
work to do: the keeper, assisted by
man No. l, has been loading the gun;
he, puts in it a projectile to which is
fastened strong braided line, 600 ards
long, and so coiled in box that It may
follow the shot without getting en-
tangled. If their aim is well taken,
the shot will pass over the wreck and
the short-line will fall across some part
of the vessel.
The crew on the wreck haul in this
line, to which the life-savers have at
tached a pulley with heavier rope
through it; both ends of this rope are
kept on shore.
Fastened to yhis pulley, or tail-block,
lie tally-board with directions in
French and English, instructing the
wrecked men how and where to make
il fast.
When it is fast on board the vessel,
the life-savers fasten hawser to one
side of the whip-line and haul on the
other, and the hawser is pulled out to
the wreck; this hawser also bears
lally-board, directing that it be made
fast two feet above the whip-line

SNOW MERRY-Go-RouNp.

Lots of Fun In Towns Where There Are
No Hills to Coast Down.
Did you ever hear of snow merry
go-round? It's great fun, especially
in a town where there are no hills to
coast down. One of the readers of the
boys and girls department. describes
just how the merry-go-round is made.
A stout post is driven at the center OF
a level plot of ground, and to the TOP
OF this long pole or plank is fastened
on pivot. This is oil that is necessary.
A sled may now be tied to either end
or one at each end of the pole, and

COMMITTEE WORK
CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-Branch Repub-
lican headquarters will probably be es :
tablished at Kansas City within a short
time. This much has practically been
decided upon as a result of the confer
ence held yesterday between Chairman
Hannah and committee of Missourians
headed by ex-Congressman Frank of st.
Louis and Major Bittinger of the ST..
Joseph Herald. Another delegation of
Missori politicians headed by Charles
Parsons and Tom Niedringhaus of ST..
Louis called at the national headqua,-
ters today and held conference with
Chairman Hanna. Their appearance
had an interesting connection with the
remonstrance made yesterday over the
inactivity displayed by the Missouri
state committee. Messrs. Parsons and
Niedringhaus being. friends of Mr.. Fill
ley. 1t was stated by members of the
committee that the proposed Kansas
City branch will be under the control Of
National Committeeman Leland of Kan
sas and Kerens of Missouri, and that the
campaign in those two states will be
directed from there. Chairman Hanna,
however, denied this, saying that the
Missouri state committee was able to
take care of the campaign in that state.

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT

Editor Herald: 1t seems a question of
morals has arisen in connection with
the act of voting 1t is this: Is a man
justified in making a false answer as
to how he voted or how he intends to
vote? 1 think under certain circum-
stances, he would be- The Australian
method of voting is designed to pro-
tect the voter from improper influences
while in the act of preparing his ticket
and when voting, but it is not broad
enough to protect an employe against
being interrogated by or on behalf of
his employer, either before or after cast
ing his ballot, and a voters employ
ment, involving the support of his fam
lily may depend upon his answer. 1t IS
a hard task to justify falsehood, or even
prevarication, but, nevertheless, 1t is
permissible to mislead an enemy who is
seeking some undue advantage over
you. 1t is common in war and often
necessary for preservation. The
Australian ballot contemplates the most
sacred secrecy and complete independ- :
only be preserved when the voter is ex
empt from questioning. Clearly. no one
has a right to pry into this personal Sc
cret or to destroy this independence
and If it is undertaken for the ruin or
discontinue of the voter he would be
justified in misleading his enemy. This
right of self-protection may well be con-
strued as a part of the Australian bal
lot system. The first and most grevous
fault would be in attempting to control
through fear the vote of an American
citizen, and that attempt may be
thwarted by any means necessary to
defeat an enemy or one who puts him
self in that category.

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-The
transition from Verdi to Gounod seems
to have had rather demoralizing ef-
feet on the orchestra as evidenced by
their share of the work in the production
of Faust last night. In other
respects no one in the brilliant
and enthusiastic audience pres
ent could find much ground
work for unfavorable criticism for 1t
was most satisfying and artistic pro-
duction. The cast was a strong one in
all essentials, and the chorus worked
in harmony with the principals to the
superb presentment of this profound
musical mosaic. All opera -goers fully ap-
preciate the marvellous technical intri-
cacies of the score of this master work
of the great French composer, and the
grand arias accorded to Faust and Mar
guerite have taken unto themselves
classic niche in the realm of harmony.
One of the charms of this great melodic
exploitation of the story of Goethe is
the fact that the composer has been SO
generous in bestowing opportunities for
high exercise of the best effort of nearly
all of the personages involved in the
story.
Certainly Mr.. Michelena can well be
proud of the triumph he achieved last
evening. His rendition of Salve D'
norah was replete with exquisite
grace and feeling and presented to bril-
liant advantage the sweetness and
power of his pure tenor notes. He was
rapturously encored by his delighted
auditors.
Nine. Natali as Marguerite showed the
versatility of the true artist, and gave
us one of the best interpretations of the
role from all points of view that we
have had for years. Her singing of the
King of Thule with it's plaintive, simple
touches of tenderness, was followed by
a most striking rendition of that eX-
acting musical morceau. the jewel song,
and her work with Mr.. Michelena in the
sensuous love duo which forms climax
to the garden scene was matchless. But
it was in the grand finale in the prison
scene that she gave full scope and
breadth and expression to her artistic
power. Rarely have we heard such
magnificent singing, aflame with dra-
matte fire. Nine. Natal grandly proved
her right to the laurel crown last night.
Mr.. Rafael as Valentine invested the
role with picturesque interest, not only
by reason of his fine acting, but also
with his sympathetic singing. He made
manly handsome Valentine and never
sang more sweetly.
Mr.. Abramoff made a great Mephisto,
singing the Calf of Gold in highly ar
tistic manner Miss Holmes as Siebel
sang the flower song charmingly. She
is on the high road to artistic advance
ment and Miss Mills Martha was very
acceptable.

A NOBLE CHRISTIAN WORK
By the Resch. Circle of tie King
Daughters
Dedication Services at the Home Yes
terday-Evangelist Critten-
ton Speaks

The Rescue Home of the Rescue Cir
Gle of the Kings Daughters was for
mally opened yesterday afternoon.
The rooms were well filled with those
interested in the work and the earnest
remarks made by the different speak
ers had tendency to increase the la
Dor and give impetus to the work that
deserves the Endorsement and encour-
agement of all Christian people.
The home is for women addicted to
the liquor and morphine habits. The
necessity for a separate dwelling for
these was felt, and the present build
ing is the outcome of that want. The
building stands at the corner of Fif-
teenth and Los Angeles streets. 1t is
a two-story residence, having ten good
sized rooms. 1t is the property of Mr..
and Mrs. Marccux, and the interest
they felt in the work prompted them to
give it to the Kings Daughters for the
sum of 500 per month which is paid by
the city, as are other institutions of the
same nature! Mrs. Marcoux acts as
matron and her services are gratuitous.
Rev. Breeze of the Church of the Naz.
arene presided at the ceremonies yes
terday. The first announced on the pro-
gram was a selection by the quartet
composed of Mrs Il. j. Rowan. jr.. Miss
Church. Mr.. Wallace and Mr.. Cornell.
They sang Hail to the Lords Amounted.
Rev. j. A. b. Wilson led in prayer. Rev.
Stephens of the Gospel Tabernacle read
the scriptures Mr. Crittenton expressed
his gratitude that such homes existed.
The speaker gave one instance where
those who had fallen to the lowest
had been saved by patience and kind
word, and in no class of people was
gratitude more fully and severely eX-
pressed than with these. Many had be-
come workers themselves in this line,
and as it took a drunkeard to appreciate
the cravings of a drunkard, so these
women felt most keenly for their afflict-
ed sisters.
Mr.. Wallace, who possesses a good
tenor voice, sang Moment to Moment.
Dr. Bresee then spoke and said, in part,
that he wished to join with the King S
Daughters in thanksgiving for the new
open door whereby they would be able
to do the work to which they were
called more efficiently, and which they
were permitted by the Lord to do.
Mrs. Hilbish, matron of the Florence
home, and Mrs. Gordon, matron of the
Ransom home, both spoke briefly on the
rescue work. The afternoon was brought
to a close by Mr.. Wallace singing The
Prodigal Daughter.

FELL IN A FIT

On Wednesday night r. S. Miller was
arrested for drunkenness and landed In
the city Jail. He is an old offender in
this line, and has been in at least doz-
en- times on the same charge. When
searched seven bottles of whisky were
taken from his pockets, showing that
Miller evidently intended to have
enough so that he would not go dry af-
ter the saloons closed. He had money
enough on his person to put up bail in
the morning when he had sobered up,
and was accordingly released.
Miller started off down First street
from the station and had got as far as
the corner of Broadway when his emo
tions overcame him and he fell in an
epileptic fit. Passersby assisted him
back to the Jail where he was placed
in the receiving hospital and given med
ical attendance. He soon recovered suf-
ficiently to be released and went his
way rejoicing.
