tion displayed by Mrs. Bryant it is easy
to guess. even before the tag" is
spoken. that Love is the greatest thing
in the world" Mrs lie Moyne is cred
tied with ecllpsing her great creation
of the duchess in Catherine" which
is sufficient praise Her supporting

SHE'S A LIVING PICTURE
so SAYS GERTIE sTROCK OF AN
OTHER PERFORMER AT THE
ORIENTAL, THEATRE

OtlENTAL THEATRE.
Down in the Second street dance
hall. from which Gertrude Strock was
rescued, appearing nightly with the
wandering troupe of Moorish dancers,
Is still another young girl.
Beatrice Moore is the name by which
she is known in the band of mounte-
banks. Maud Erhardt is her real name.
She left Philadelphia with Gertrude
Strock, with whom she had been
working for several months. Both girls
were chosen at the same time from the
dramatic agency at which they regis
tered.
According to Gertrude Strock, Maud
lsrhardt is almost Is years of age. She
left Scranton, the home of her mother
flve months ago. Gertie thinks that
Maud wants to get away from the
Moorish dancers. but does not know
just how.
A. c. Grant, the manager OF the
troupe, visited the Strock home at Phil
adeiphla yesterday and deplored the ac-
tion OF Miss Strock. as he said 1t gave
him unpleasant notoriety. The girls
he claimed, had misrepresented theil
ages and talent. He said he could dc
nothing and that he intended to get rio
OF Miss Erhardt as soon as he could FIND
someone TO take her place.
Gertie Strock says she made a hi
and wore enough clothes. Maud, sh,
says, is a living picture, and her raj
ment is scanty. Maud is also pretty.

RIOTS IN PORTO RICO.
Republicans-Thrce Men and
Woman Slain.

San Juan, Oct. 9.-Four persons-one
of them woman-were killed in po-
litical street riot in Guayamo, which
lasted all Sunday night. The rioting
started in cafe when member of the
federal party shot and severely wound
ed republican. Several of the latter's
party friends tried to lynch the federal,
but were prevented by eight Ameri-
cans. Federals from Arroyo hastened
to reinforce the federals in Guayamo
and a bloody street fight followed.
Three men and woman were killed,
while 20 others, including several po-
licemen, were wounded. Several of
these will die.
Armed bands paraded the streets
this morning, shooting and shout
ing and terrorizing the town. The
whole district is arming and the po-
lice force is utterly unable to cope with
the rioters. The parties are about
equally divided in numbers. Leaders
of the republicans are urging their fol-
lowers not to engage in rioting, but
the federals are determined to avenge
the San Juan affair and further blood
shed is expected. Animosity between
federals and republicans is increasing
as the time for the election approaches,
and all over the island are evidences
that trouble may break out at any
moment.

Ruin by a Tornado.

Biwabik, Mimi, Oct. s.-The tornado
which ragged in this vicinity Saturday
evening was the most violent ever ex-
perienced hereabouts. The storm cut
a pathway $50 feet in width through
the northwestern corner of this town,
completely wrecking the buildings
struck. The shafthouses and build
ings of three mines which stood in the
path of the storm were reduced to
kindling wood. The property loss is
estimated at from $4,000 to 100000
and the known fatalities number nine,
with a score or more injured-some SCI
verely, others only slightly. The storm
swept in northwesterly direction
after leaving here and struck little
Finnish settlement near Pike lake,
where a number of buildings were
wrecked, in one of which an entire
family, consist ing of a husband, wife
and four children were instantly killed.

FLOUR MILLS TO CLOSE.
Minneapolis Firms VIII Shut Down
for an Indefinite PcriOd-ShOrt-
age in the Demand.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. s.-Nearly
one-half OF the flour mills operating
i'll Minneapolis will close for an in
definite length Of time. The Wash
burn-Crosby and the Pillsbury Mill
ing companies report that 40 per cent.
of their mills will close, and it is also
reported that the Consolidated Mill
ing company will discontinue opera
lions, although it is not learned ncw
many mills will be affected The Of
ficials report the cause due exclusive
ly to the marked shortage in demand
for flour. The foreign trade, it is de-
clared, is practically dead, while the
present stock of the mills will be suf-
ficient to supply the domestic trade
for some time to come 1t is contend
ed generally that the coming election
and political excitement have to some
extent brought about the sudden de-
cline in demand, and it is probable
that none of the mills will resume op-
erations until after it is over.

HELPING A BURGLAR.
"A Physician Tells How Hospital At
PENDANTS Showed kindness to
II wounded Robbcr.

"The strangest patient I ever had"
said prominent physician of this
city the other evening, rclates the St.
Louis Republic, was burglar. My
acquaintance with him began in
singular manner. +
"After l was graduated was en-
gagged at night in one of the largest
hospitals in New York, where l saw
many strange sights. One night our
ambulance brought in a prisoner pa
ticnt, accompanied by two policemen.
The officers said TINT the man had
been surprised while attempting to
rob an apartment in large fiat
house. A policeman was called, who
chased him into Il room with q win
dow opening on an nirshaft.
ut was warm weather, and the
shaft window was open. rs was also
the window in the apartment on the
opposite side. Finding himself close
ly pursued, the burglar, who was
young and athletic, jumped from ono
window to the other, clear across tho
airshaft.
"IIe landed in the other apartment
all right. but fell plump on II man who.
was asleep in bed close to the win
dow. The sleeper, SO rudely awakened,
gave u yell and attempted to seize the
burglar. The latter, in seeking to
eludc him, and at the same time avoid
the policeman, who was at the oppo-
site window threatening to shoot, fell
down the nirshaft and was badly in
! cured
u made an examination and found
that he had broken his right leg at
the ankle. was considerably bruised,
and also suffering from shock from
his fall. ] fixed him up all right and
he remained n prisoner in the hos
pital for several weeks. At first lie
was morosc and surly, but gradually
he began to show gratitude for the
kind treatment he received. He be.
came n favorite with nll the doctors,
and we gradually learned his story.
"1lc had been an honest, hard-work-
ing man in another city ana had come
tc New York to better himself. Hav-
ing no friends here, he was unable
to obtain work and soon spent all his
little savings. He kept getting poor.
or and poorer, and while penniless and
almost starving attempted his first
burglary by breaking into the fiat
where he was caught.
eve took such an interest in him
that, although he was convicted, the
judge suspended sentence upon his
proving his previous good character
and that it was his first otfense. He
was an expert tinsmith and I raised
n subscription and set him up in bust
ness in a little shop. We sent all our
friends to him and he prospered ana
now has Il large store here. He mar
ricd and has several children, and
have been his family physician for
years. Although all the doctors ut tho
hospital helped him at the start, he
showed his gratitude especially to me,
as ! received him and fixed up his
broken leg the night he was broughh
prisoner to the hospital"
