Reforming tho Chorus Girl-Financia1
, lnduc.ment the Only Attraction for
! Them on the Stage-The Woman Who
; Wants to Marry Jim Jefrries.

The Chicago woman who has come
to New York, comments the New York
Sun. with the idea Of reforming the
chorus girls seems to have made a
mistake in her estimate of the price at
which they would be willing to ex-
change their present employment for
work Of the kind she offers. From
$12 to $14 a week is the pay Of the
average chorus girl, and to remove
them from the demoralizing influences
of stage life she volunteers to find
places for them in mercantile en-
ploymellt at one-Quarter of that sum.
There is not likely to be much demand
for reformation at this figure, in view
OF the great demand for their services
at the higher figure. Chorus girls who
are beautiful enough and have voice
enough and other qualifications are not
easy to find. The demand for them is
far greater than the supply, and one
New York manager has recently ad-
vertised in many cities of the country
for young women who are anxious to
enter the profession in this way. The
deficiency in the supply is less notice
able in New York than it is with those
companies that are to travel through
the country. Only short time ago a
manager about to send one of his COM
panies on the road found that three
quarters of the young women he ex-
pected to take along with him re-

and appreciate the value of salary

Coded Whole Archipelago.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The positive
statement is made here by authority
that Spain does not retain possession
of single island in the Philippine
archipelago. This is called forth by
the declaration in the Spanish cortes
of Count de Almenas that through ig-
norance the American commissioners
had allowed three islands at the north
ern extremity of the archipelago to re-
main under Spanish control through
their definition in the treaty OF the
boundary of the group. There Is stated
to be no doubt as to the sufficiency of
the treaty clause to cede the entire
archipelago. If there has been a fail
ure on this point, that fact will not re-
dound to SPANS benefit, for it Is held
officially that the islands north Of the
Philippine archipelago belong to
Japan.

MARGUERITE CORNILLE.

She still finds a demand for her serv-
ices, but not in New York. Here she
would not be wanted even in the back
row. Only youth and beauty are
wanted here, and they ARE so much
desired that the reformer who is Offer
ing 81 week in more conventional
employment will probably make little
progress.
Marguerite Cornille is the latest
French importation in "The Man IN

person who would submit quietly to

be forgotten that she once had an en-

made a profound impression on sus-
ceptible alderman of Buffalo. He was
unable to make her acquaintance, as
they had no common friends, and one
night he sought out the restaurant in
which the French singer was accus-

how deep his admiration was and never
having made his Acquaintance, Mdlle.
Fougere did not notice the alderman's

This is probably an exageration.
The recent effort OF the German stage
union to compel managers to supply

that in many German theaters the

own wardrobe.
Agnes Sorma explained to a Paris
interviewer that she was not German.

The great chariot race in "Ben Hur"
is apparently going to be a great hit.
For more than a month expert horse
men have been training for this scene.
Twelve horses are needed, says New
York paper. More than sixty have
been tried and only eight competent
ones found. They have to run at full
speed on mechanical device, thing
that some horses will by no means do.
Eight horses will be on the stage at
one time, and there will be four trained
understudies.
There will be four bays for Ben
Hur's chariot, chosen for beauty as
we'll as speed" Messala's chariot will
be drawn by two blacks and two
whites. The substitutes will be two
bays, a black and white. The illu-
sion, so far as the running of the
horses is concerned, will be produced
in a manner similar to that used by
Burgess in the race scene in The
County Fair" only on an enlarged
scale 1t is the treadmill principle.
There will be eight treadmills built
into the stage, one for each horse. Inc
framework and the endless chain Of
Stats which form the running surface
are Of selected hickory. The Stats are
two inches wide, and enough space Is
left between them to allow them to
run over steel wheels about eight
inches in diameter at either end of the
machine. Between the larger end
wheels, their tops forming the support
for the runnirr urface Stats, is mass
of sm2I ~ els. There are 1876 cs
these ia machine, 1,56s in all.
They are of steel, about four inches in
diameter, and each has solid rubber
tire. AS the horse attempts to run
each movement of his hoofs sends the
movable platform back, running swift
ly on the scores of perfectly balanced
rubber-tired wheels beneath. The fast

and the more perfect the Illusion.
