Not single Sunday drunk confronted
the recorder yesterday morning, and not
as many as usual from Saturday night

the salutary effect of Recorder Hart
ridges announcement from the bench on
the previous Monday morning, that here
after parties brought before. him for
drunkenness on Sunday, would not be

instead.
Two negroes were bound over to the city

was turned over to the superior court for
shooting not in his own defense. Several
fines were imposed for minor offenses.

An umaer-sea Tunnel.

The italians are considering plans for
the construction of a double tunnel,
about two miles in length, between the
toe OF Italy and the island of Sicily.
The tunnel is to run under the straits
of Messinn, rot far from the site of
scylla and Charybdis, the rocks and the
whirlpool, which were so dreaded by
ancient mariners. 1t was at first pro-
posed that u bridge be thrown across
the straits, but it was thought that this
would be too much exposed to the
winds. which are occasionally violent

TO MAKE A HOME.
A Few Words OF Wholesome Advice

How to make home? Why, let the
two who build it be of one mind-that
it is to be the happiest spot in the whole
earth. Include in your desire not only
the purpose to make yourselves happy
but to brighten the lives of everybody
else.
Make your guest-chamber the best
room in your house. Don't take the
largest and most attractive room fol-
yourself, and invite your friend to oc
cupy small straitened room upstairs.
That is rot doing as you would be done
by. Nor is that the way ito entertain
an angel unawares." And be sure ts
keep your windows open to the sunlight
So many times the best rooms in oui
homes are treated as if they were toe
good for everyday life. And their chill
and discomfort when experienced by an
unexpected guest make her dream OF
'cellar-damp and creeping things.

SKIRT DANCES NOT IN FAVOR.

Audiences Want Exhibitions of the
Powers That Move the World.
1t is interesting to notice what pic
lures are the popular favorites IN the
exhibition of the biograph, vitascope,
cinematograph and similar instru-
ments. The serpentine dances and high
kicking get moderate amount OF ap-
piause; the military scenes get good
deal more; the march of procession
down, apparently, into the very teeth OF
the audience, is almost startling; but
these are not the things which receive
an encore. At two recent exhibitions OF
this sort there were only two encores.
One of these was burst of enthusiasm
over view of the surf breaking on one
of the piers at Manhattan Beach. The
other was from an audience that want.
ed to see again the onward rush OF the
Empire State express.
The surf picture seemed fairly to
bring the smell of the sea into the
smoke-clouded theater. AS the wave
began to gather, form and get an edge,
the audience drew an expectant breath.
And as the water hurried on and Oh,
until it finally broke at the crest, and
flung itself forward with a force that
sent up cloud of spray, the spectators
gave great "Ah-h-h!" The view of the
Empire State express was even more
thrilling. At first there was only the
long line of railroad coming straight
down the picture, and curying off to one
side at the front. Some section hands
were al work on the track. There was
spot in the distance with a fine line OF
smoke streaming aGay from it. Itgrew
with every second until it was throb
bing engine pounding it's way right to-.
ward the audience. People held their
breath as the train swept toward them
and it seemed an actual escape when 1t
swung off on the curve and out OF sight
Next to these scenes, which portray
the working of some tremendous natur-
al force, the most popular ones are the
homely, everyday ones. One of the most
delightful of these is a pillow fight
among four little girls. They are in two
cribs with ratings around them. One
of the children lifts herself up and, tax
ing her pillow, mischieyously bangs it
down on the head of her bedfellow. At
this the two in the other crib are highly
delighted and promptly sit up in bed.
holding on one rail at the side. The
unfortunate one, who has just been
whaeked, emerges from under the pill
low and is so angry when she sees the
other two laughing at her that she
snatches up pillow and knocks them
both out of sight with one fell swoop.
Then she turns her attention to the
original offender and hostilities are
general until one of the pillows bursts,
and the whole picture is full of feathers.
