This afternoon and evening the great success ''The Idols Eye" will be pre- scented at the Hyperion. Frank Daniels, who is so well and favorably known to our theatergoers, is the bright partic- ular star of this successful opera. The chorus is large and well trained.

 There are four prima donnas in s'The Idols Eye" Helen Redmond, Norma Kopp, Kate Uart and Sadie Emmons Every one of the four has served her turn in the chorus first. And three of them, Redmond, Kopp and Emmons began in the chorus of Kirke LaShelle, the present manager of Frank Daniels. That Manager LaShelle showed the ex- cellence of his Judgment in the selection of these young women for promotion has been evidenced by the approving voice of the press during the past few years in the cases of Miss Redmond ahd Miss Kopp. Miss Uart gained her reputation with Della Fox. Miss En- mons may be said to have the winning of her laurels in store for her. She was promoted from the chorus last year with the part of Lieutenant Desmond, late in the season. She acquitted her. self with satisfaction to the manage ment, however, and it is not unreason- able to suppose that she will win the approval of the public during the com- ing season. In addition to their pro- motion in place they have also won a substantial promotion in salary from SIS a week paid to the chorus girl to the S95 and upwards per week which is their financial reward now.

Toronto, Sept. 30.-The majority for prohibition throughout the dominion, as indicated by the latest returns of yesterdays plebiscite, will probably not exceed 1S,0O0 All the provinces except Quebec voted for prohibition, Ontario giving it majority of about 10000. Quebec's majority of 10000 against pro- hibition is just about offset by the re- turns from the maritime provinces, while the returns from Manitoba, the territories, and British Columbia show that the west is in favor of prohibition by a majority of 1000 to 5000.
 Even the prohibition papers consider the majority too small to influence the government to attempt to enact prohib- itory legislation.

ton and the movement of the colOnists
10 Duke will begin this fall. They viii
dispose of their homes and effects in Ohio
as soon as convenient, and come to the
new settlement.
The lands around Duke are level and fer
tile. They are we'll adapted to agricpl-
ture and can be cleared at a reasonable
cost. Dwarf palmettoes are scattered m
patches over the tract and will be tho
greatest obstacle in the clearing of the
land. The roots are of enormous size ana
spread widely. The cost of uprooting a
dwarf palmetto in the ordinary way, with
shovel and an AK, is generally obVlated
by cutting the plants off just below the
surface, so the roots will decay. The TIM
Der has been utilized for lumber tuTpen-
tine, crossties and cord wood. The lands
were bought at very low cost. Ihere
will be an abundance of refuse timber for
rails and fuel sufficient to last the colony
for many years.
A Methodist Church and a school house
and a number of comfortable cottages ara
at Duke. The colony will, therefore, not
be required TO build the first house In tha
town. Some families have resided at Duh9
for a number of years and their heallh
was about as good as can be had any
where in South Georgia. Some farms arc
in the vicinity and good yields OF corn,

from them every year. The soil is adapted
to the growing of long staple cotton anu
