entrance to the harbor is very narrow,
not more than about 80 feet wide, and

Leather bedside slippers can very
easily be made at home. The leather
is of any color that is desired, and it
is often very gay one, and is mount
ed over the toe of lambs wool in

and thus is evolved comfortable toe

of the skin makes two or three pairs,

The town of Santiago is the see of
the Archbishop, and contains the
largest cathedral in the island-the
Cathedral Of Nuestra Sonora de la

Theological Seminary of San Basilio.
In this region is the highest land in
Cuba. A mountain range called the
Montanos de Maestro or Cobre ex.
tends from the Punta de Maisi ON the
eastern extremity to Cape Cruz on the
opposite side. Pico de Turquino, the
highest elevation, rises 1910 feet above
the ocean. These mountains are very
rich in ore, and the Cobre copper

quantities to make IL profitable. How.
ever, none OF these mines have yet been
fully developed. Bituminous coal is
found which gives out high degree
of heat and leaves scarcely any ashes
or cinders. Near the coast IL is often
found in semi-liquid masses resembling
petroleum or naphtha. There are
some very extensive caves in these
mountains, which have never been
thoroughly explored.

Santa Fe Pacific Passenger Train Tumbles
 Down an Embankment.

Westbound passenger tram No. l on the Santa Fe Pacific due to arrive in Flagstaff at 9:30 Tuesday morning. was wrecked near St. Joseph, flag station between Winslow and Holbrook at G:lO a. m. of that day. One epassenger-Roy Gooding. the young son of the s. F. P. agent at Kingman. was killed and thir- ty-fOur people were more or less seri ously injured.
 The cause of the wreck was broken rail. The engine, baggage and mail cars passed safely over, but two Pull mans. one chair car and smoking ear left the track and tumbled down the embankment of the Little Colorado river and into the stream. The chair coach and the smoking car turned over two and three times.
 Dr. Brennan, surgeon for the s. F. P. road, was immediately called by wire to the scene of the accident and left on the eastern bound passenger at lO:4O Tuesday morning. He returned to Flagstaff Tuesday night and reported the remarkable fact that out of the thirty-four who were injured not one had bone broken. There were sev- eral dislOcations and painful bruises, but none of the injuries would result fatally.
 Roy Gooding, who was killed, was found in the water under the car. At the time the car left the track he had his head out of the window.

! that has made possible the modern l theater, just as it has made the actor i the most notorious figure that stands i on two legs. However, to go back to 1 farces, the one at the Baldwin which
 started me off on this ramble is a
 wrong effort In the right moral direc- tion. It lacks plot, character and sur prise. Among the characters are an actor and an actress whose marriage is, for professional reasons, a secret. He has written a play and each, un-
 known to the other, is working to have
 somebody produce 1t. After a most
 solemn and unfarce-Iike first act in
 which nothing happens, you are shown
 the interior of a coach house with flight of stairs at either side leading to the loft. The actor has in tow a mill lionaire's wife. who in private is given to calcium dreams, and he reads from the play with an idea to coaching her in the heroine'S part. man with his maiden play will stop at nothing, not even a married amateur. To the same place and on a similar business come the actress and the millionaire. She doesn't exactly want to make an actor out of him; she will be satisfied to see him an angel. One couple is down stairs, the other is in the loft; and dis
 covering that they are not alone the good old game of hide and seek con- mences. As the actress and the old gentleman run down one flight of stairs the actor and amateur run up the other. By miraculous coincidence they do not meet. With two flights of stairs and a quartet of agile stage persons bent on blindness this coincidence may be kept running ad lib. In Mistakes
 Will Happen" it seems to be limited only by the endurance of the company, which seems to be in the pink of sprint ing condition. An incidental attraction of this act is a real coupe and a stream of real water which is played into the vehicle and over its occupants. The next act is rather clever in a purely verbal way for an act of explanation" but the cleverness is too long in the coming. Charles Dickson, as the actor.
