HAS HAD LONG TRAINING
Miss Yaw Has Entertained Audiences Since

7 Ellen Beach 1aw. accompanied by the
other members of her company. Miss
iGeorgiella Lay and Mr. Macmillan
Dick. came in over the Santa Fe al
about II o'clock yesterday morning. and
spent the day at the Carey. In view OF
the fact that Miss Yaw has many en-
thusiastic admirers in Wichita. and be-
lieving that they would all like to know
something OF her past successes and of
her future plars. an Eagle young man
went over to the Carey during the after
noon and had A very pleasant half
hours chat with her.
No ore who has ever seen Miss Yaw
can have failed 10 be impressed with
her personality and the simple, unaffect-
ed manner that characteriZes her before
an audience is all the more apparent in
an informal conversation. 1t is interest
ing in this connection TO note the fact
that stage fright. the bette noire" OF all
young singers. has never had any ter
ror< for her. This is probably due near
~ entirely TO the fact that from her
early childhood she has been trained TO
feel at home on the stage.
She made her first appearance as a
soloiSt before an audience when barely Z
years old. and IN fact was so young that
she had the greatest difficulty in pro-
houncing the ordinary words which the
verses of the song contained. Even at
this early age. however. ii was apparent
that She had phenomenal latent talent,
and she was encouraged by all who
heard her.

ARE MANY SMALL PAPERS
Something bout How the Small Concerns
Are Run.

Our business men are imposed upon
from week TO week by representatives
OF papers (so-called) importuning them
Ter advertisements for papers that have
no circulation. that have no actual. :egit-
innate subscription lists. There are pa
pers published in this city that contain
advertisements of business houses and
nTms Of Wichita-the papers not owning
dollars worth of material or office
furniture Of any kind-that do not even
nave desk room or place they can cal.
an office, and yet they contain advertis-
ing, for which something is paid, and
which al any price is high. There are
publications in this city that have been
running for months-rwo or three of
them-that carry quite a nice line Of ad-
Vertising, which, with legal notices, pub
ished at legal rates (making divy with
the attorneys). Said papers have no
actual, legitimate subscribers and publish
less than hundred copies AT an issue
II is only question of time, il is said,
and believed by leading attorneys. who
do not mix uD in such deals, until such
publications will be declared illegal. A
judge did so decide recently and the
pressure of the fellows who are engaged
extensively in these foreclosures raised
such wall that the aforesaid judge took
the matter under advisement. and il is
still under adviSement. The judge has
left the county, and so viii lot Of the
attorneys, but the man that will finally
be left is the man who has the foreclOs-
ure settled by an attorney who for the
sake of two or three dollars on each
notice puts the whole thing in jeopardy.
The reporter was shown a paper last
week, just out, which contained several
columns Of advertisements which, we
were told, cost the protector Of the pub
Ecation less than five dollars 10 issue il,
The probabilities are that he did not have
TO exceed four or five quires printed.

YAW RECEIVES AN OVATION
Her Reception Last Night Was a Memoir
able One.

! If the fact that Ellen Beach Yaw is
! everybody's favorite in Wichita had need
of any further illustra ton, il could have
| been found in the reception she was ac-
corded at her last nights appearance al
the Crawford Grand.
Rarely does a concert singer receive
such an ovation, for last nights concert
was not only a phenomenal success but
positive ovation. In the first place, the
house was a phenomenally large one
the largest, in fact, that has greeted a
Crawford Grand attraction at any time
since Booth and Barrett made their me m
Orable appearance here. Macmillan
Dick all but shared the honors with the
star. He was not a surprise to Wichita,
however. as his former success here will
be remembered as second only 10 that Of
Remenyi in his Wichita appearances.
Max Dick is one of America greatest
ViOlinists and yet at the same time he IS
one Of the youngest on the concert stage
today. The prediction that when he has
reached the age of Remenyi Dick will not
only rival but excel that great artist. is
certainly a judicious one.
Miss Lay opened the concert with MosZ-
kOwski's 'Valse in A She immedia tely

that characterizes some OF her more pre-
tentious numbers is wonderful. consid-
ering her slight physique. As an accom-

UNCLE SAINTS AUCTION SALE.
Annual Disposal of the Accommodations OF
the Dead Letter Office.


One of the queerest institutions
of the national capital is the annual
clearance sale of the dead letter office
in which vast accumulation of articles
gone astray i'll the mails is sold to the
highest bidders. The. auction house
where it is held is continually crowded
with excited men, women and children,
and beside,it the bargain counters dur
ing the holidays are as Ravens of rest,
for when Uncle Sam goes into the junk
shop business great things are expect
ed. AS in the church fair rattle, You
pay small amount of money and trust
to luck to get back more than its value
The articles, previously listed in
wholesale sort of way, are tied up in
bundles of from three to a half dozen
and "auCtioned" for what they will
bring, the average bids ranging between
10 cents and a dollar.
Nobody is permitted to examine the
goods before purchasing, and no money
is refunded to the dissatisfied. Every
body hopes to pull genuine plum from
the pic i'll the shape of a diamond ring,
a silk dress pattern or a silver teapot
and although comparative blanks are
the rule, there is always the possibility
of prize. For example, the auCtiOneer
holds up one of these odd shaped bun
dies, listed pictures, underwear, mu-
sic, cigars" Going-going-gone-for

who was caught by the word cigar
He opens it ON the spOrt-an unwiSe
thing to do if one objects to good naturcd

cigars, broken into bits with so strong
an Odor that one wonders how a sledge
hammer could have done it; underwear

a collection of newspaper cuts designed
for amusement of some small child.
The lot would be dear at a quarter and
is of no use to the buyer.
In the dead letter Office propcr-that
charnel house which swallows nearly
half million missives every month";
is positively narrowing. More than 40
bushels of photographs have aCCumu-
lated there, awaiting the annual crema-
ton. There are tresses Of hair enough
to stuff a dozen mattresses, grandmOth-
ers' silver locks and babies golden Curls,
many no doubt cut from dead brows,
and small sums of money which poor
workmen send home to feed their wives
and little ones, and servant girls save
from their scanty wages for needy par
ents-gone to Uncle Sans rich purse,
not because the United States wants it,
but because the senders' writing or or
biography was beyond mortal ken. 1t is
hard to realize that in this land Of
schools, at the close of the nineteenth
century, there are so many people so
ignorant or so careless as to send several
millions of letters year without stamps
or addresses or with addresses which no
man can make out People seem to be
so intent ON what goes into the letters
that they forget all about the superscrip-
lion. 1t is estimated that 81, 500, 900 i'll
drafts and $50, 900, 600 in cash is recciv
ed every year through dead letters. In

PROTECT THE CHILDREN.

Worms rob children of the life-giv-

their growth and weaken their cOnsti-
tutions for life. Most mothers know
the symptoms of worms. Children
are pale, restless and peevish, appe-
tite is tickle and sleep is disturbed.

COST OF A TRAIN.
The Expense and Profits of Travel On
English Railway Lines.

How many people who travel i'll trains
ever think of the cost of running them?
1t will probably surprise most people
who have travelled from London to Ed
inburgh to know that every mile of the
Journey costs the railway company over
half a crown. The cost of the whole
journey from the English to the Scotch
capital is $50.
The average cost of running a train
in England is rs. I'd. per mile, so that,
the fare being reckoned at, Id. per mile,
a train with less than 81 passengers for
each mile is run at loss. There are
few trains, however, that do not carry
more than this number of passengers,
and many of them carry the number
doubled many times over. 1t is neces-
sary frequently to run trains that do not
pay-usually in thinly inhabited coun-
try districts-but for every train run at
a loss probably 100 are run at an enor-
nous profit.
Take, for instance, the journey from
London to Edinburgh, which costs the
railway company $50. The average
number of through" passengers in
these trains is probably 60, in which
case the total fares would be nearly
G1OO-a clear gain of nearly 600. When
it is remembered that these trains run
several times a day, and every day in
the year, it will be understood what an
enormous revenue single line yields in
the course of IL months. Surprising the
average number of passengers to be 90,
the midnight train from London to Ed
inburgh yields over ego, 200 for divi-
dend in year!
The longest railway journey in the
United Kingdom would probably be
from Penzance, in Cornwall. to Thurso,
in the north of Scotland, a distance of
over 1000 miles. A train running be-
tween these two places would exhaust
an ordinary clerks salary for whole
year, the cost being no less than el3S.

FUNCTION OF MONEY.

Development of the Monetary Problem
Means a Government Paper Currency.
Besides the checks and promissory
notes, issued by individuals, which
have limited circulation, and the
notes issued by banks, which have a
more extended circulation, many gov
ernments issua notes directly that cir
culate generally among the people. AS,
however, the precious metals are the
only commodities generally accepted as
money throughout the world, all prom
ises to pay are based upon one or an
other of them. but the aggregate Of
value represented by these promises to
pay is so great that their fulfllment at
any one time in coin or bullion would
be impossible, the ratio between the
volume of exchanges effected by the
use of paper representatives OF money
to the volume effected by coin or bull
lion itself being greater than 9 to l.
This fact, that the total value called
for by the paper representatives OF
value at any time in existence, al
though expressed in terms Of the units
of value originally designating coins,
vastly exceeds the value of the metals
as coined or held in bullion by the
sources whence coins are issued, to-
gether with the fact that no man will
inly and knowingly exchanges COM
modities for paper representatives OF
value without believing that he can OBJ
tain the worth called for by these rep
resentatives, leads to the perception
that, after all it is not the metals, how
ever precious, but property of all kinds
that. is their basis, and that these pa
per representatives of value are sue
ceeding coins in designating and meas
uring the value of the commodities
for which they are exchanged. And
as the value Of commodities depends
upon the efforts expended, under the
law of supply and demand, in produc-
ing and delivering them at the place OF
need, the ultimate function Of paper
representatives of value is to measure
and reward human effort.-"Develop-
ment Of the Monetary Problem" by

Science Monthly.

OverproductiOn?

A great and extensive country, in
dustrious people, good crops, a surplus
of everything, at peace with the world,
and in the midst of all these great
blessings business men are forced to
the wall, farmers after working from
daylight 10 dark to mature crop, after
selling the same at beggarly prices are
forced to mortgage their land to the
banks or money lenders for enough
money to carry them through the win

ment, people starving for bread is the
picture Of life in this great free (0
America to-day. And still the wise
statesmen tell us that it is overpro-

causing all the misery. What fertile
brain it must have taken to have
made such discovery! Think Of 1t,
