The EIk's Benefit.

Clean, wholesome comedy will be
seen at the Park Casino Thursday and
Friday May 31st and June 1st, when
the distinguished comedian, Willie Col
lier, will be seen in his own roaring
farce. Mr.. Collier is the most unctuous
and versatile of all American coined
ians, and his growing popularity gives
evi6ence of his worth. Golfers farci-
cal comedy, Mr. Smooth" seems to
have been accepted with general favor
because it was native to the core and
absolutely free from vulgar suggestions
and yelled relations, which betray so
many farces as of Partisan origin
Mr.. Smooth" is an urbane and ener-
getic liar; but he in an angel of inno-
cence compared with the hardened
criminals of farce born in France, who
think it an amusing thing to corrupt a
friends wife and to generally exalt
vice as virtue. ''Mr. Smooth is not
a constitutional liar, nor is he pre-
meditated liar. Force of circumstances
compel him to exercise his ingenuity
on occasion. The local lodge of Elks
under whose auspices the above at
traction will be given have already dis
posed of a large number of tickets,
which assures a big house both nights.
Reserved seats will be placed on sale

KILLED INSTANTLY.

= BenWOOd Man Fatally Injured by
an Accident at FairmOnt Yester-
day Mornfng-Was q Well Known
Emp1Oye of the b. g. o. Road.
George Vincent, of Benwood, the
well-known 3. & o.. brakeman, was
the victim of fatal accident, occur
ring at Fairmont yesterday morning.
1t was learned by telegram which
was received by his relatives in the
industrial town that the unfortunate
man was walking on the top of a
moving freight train and fell between
two cars. His body, being caught I'M
der the wheels, was literally cut in
two and death must have resulted in
stantly. 1t is likely that his remains
will be taken to his former home at
Colfax for interment.
Mr.. Vincent was about % years old
and unmarried. He came to Benwood
to reside quite while ago, and had
lately been boarding with friends at
the Junction. He was a cousin of
Mrs. Martha Satterfeld, of Benwood,
and had host of warm friends in that
place who will regret to learn of his
death. He had been in the employ of
the B. &c o. company for several
years and was very efficient in his

At F. w. Banner Co.'s Friday After
noon.
In order to more thoroughly intro
duce the Pianola and Aeolian to the
musical people of this city, the F. w
Banner Company have decided to give
a series of recitals at their spacious
parlors at the store, 1910 Market street
The first of the series will be given on
next Friday afternoon from until
O'Clock, to which all are cordially in
vited.
The Pianola is conceded to be the
musical wonder of the age. Any per-
son, without any knowledge of music
whatever, can produce the finest OF
music by it's use as well as the most
expert performer, The Aeolian works
on the same principal, but instead oil
playing the piano, it produces the most
exquisite organ music.
This opportunity of hearing these in
struments will be eagerly seized by all
lovers of fine music, and it is safe to
say that the Banner Co.'S generosity
will cause the store to be crowded.

up by the train crew and brought to

A Rumor Investigated.

1t was reported yesterday the Tube
Steel Company and the Benwood and
Wheeling Connecting Railway Com
pany, the corporations that are to as
sist in the proposed extensive improve
ments to the Riverside mill, had been
compelled to forfeit their respective
charters for negleoting to pay the an
nual license tax levied by the State on
corporations. However upon investi-
cation such was found TO be not the
case.
1t was learned from one who is well
informed upon matters with reference
to the big concern that the auditor
failed to notify either company that the
licenses in question were due; that the
law provides that if corporation pays
the license fee with an additional sum
of S. that the forfeiture of the charter
is removed, and this has been done by
both these companies.

EARTHQUAKES ON THE CANAL.
UphcavnIs of the Soil and NoIcsui q
EruptiHns May Cause
Trouble.

The liability of the proposed inter-
oceanic waterway to damage from vol
canic eruption and earthquake is an
important feature of the Nicaragua
canal question. No less than 20 impor-
tant craters have been counted in the
mountains of Central America, 10 of
which are known to have been in erup-
ton within the last 200 years and eight
since 1850 The last noteworthy dis
play was from Ometepe in 1888. This
crater is on the island OF Ometepe and
is situated about ten miles from the
channel of the proposed canal through
Lake Nicaragua. On the same island
is Madera--six miles from the channel
which has been in eruption in this
century.
The eruption of Cosiguina, 1855 miles
from Brito. the western port of the
canal, which occurred in 1885, was
terrific explosion. Bowlders were
thrown great distances and ashes were
carried more than 1000 miles. Mo-
motombo, on the shore Of Lake Ma
nagua, 90 miles from Brito, was in
eruption in 1852 FL WHO and Chichi-
galpa, rs and 10 miles respectively
from Brito, have been active in this
century. In Costa Rico also are several
craters which have been in eruption
in this century.

Briefly it may be said that the latest
type OF hard-faced plates possess about
twice the resistance of the older types
of plates. This enables a great saw
ing to be effected in the weight of arm
or to be used for the protection of the
modern warship.
The firm has. however recently pro-
duced capped projectiles, which, with
slightly higher velocity than the
average usually employed, readily per
forate hardfaced plates, so that be-
fore long we may expect the latest
type OF plates to be found quite vulner-
able. Thus the battle proceeds, first
the plate wins, then the projectile. un-

vert to simpler and more effective

trying to kill each other.

HORSES AT THE TOP.
Most Honorable Position War Horse
Can Occupy Is Bearer of the
kettIedruIns.

There are grades of honor, even
among horses. We are apt TO think of
the war horse as proud animal and Sc
he is, md has a right 10 be, for he is
called upon to be as brave as he is
proud. But proudost and most disni-
fed of all the horses of the army is
the animal that fills the position of
drum horse in the regimental band In
the British army cavalry bands are
mounted, and the most honorable po-
sition in al the band is that of the
bearer of the kettledrums. The horse
is selected for his distinguished appear
ance. He is often piebald, although
sometimes pure white; but whatever
his color, his appearance must be con-
sistent with the conspicuous position
he has to fill, says Youths Companion
Something more than mere beauty
of form is required of the drum horse.
He must be trained until he becomes
dignified and graceful bearer Of the
handsome trappings that pertain to
his high calling. His education is Sc
we're and prolonged, bringing him up
TO that point where his pride and IN
tenigence make him equal to the du-
ties required of him.
His nerves are severely tried by the
booming of the large drums he carries,
but in time he becomes as Indifferent to
their noise as war horses do 10 the sing
ing bullets. In the parade his rider
has his hands full in the use of the
sticks. He controls the horse by means
of reins fastened to the stirrup strap
near the foot.
The fame of the drum horse is often
won on the field of battle, and some-
times war horse that has won laurels
on the battlefield and can carry himself
with becoming dignity in parades is
promoted to the honored position of
drum horse in the regimenta1 band.

Detective Mirrors.

mirror may now be regarded as
something more than promoter of
vanity, since it is often set to do the
work of detective. BY well-arranged
mirrors shopkeepers can watch their
customers, even when they turn their
backs on them. Thus they save their
costly stock, and avoid giving offense
to honest buyers. One jeweler in
the west end of London has caught
several well-dressed culprits simply
by the aid of the looking glass. Own
ers of street-corner coffee-stals find
the detective mirror very useful.
Petty pilfering goes on briskly
around such stalls. One London
coffee-st;ll owner declared that he
used to lose a dollar week in this
way. Now he has mirrors fixed to
the back and sides of his stall. and
when his back is turned he can still
watch his customers and protect his
interests. 4 book-stall clerk told a
similar tale. The theft of magazines
and books represented serious loss
to the firm until adroitly placed mir
rors proved an effective check. -

STORY HAS A GOOD MORAL.

q Paper.

Here is the latest story on the man
who is too stingy to take his home
paper, says the Kansas City journal.
A man who was too economical to
take this paper sent his little boy
to borrow the copy taken by his
neighbor. In his haste the boy ran
over n four-dollar stand of bees, and
in ten minutes looked like warty
summer squash. His cries reached
his father, who ran to his assistance,
and failing to notice barbed- wire
fence, ran into that, breaking it
down, cutting handful of flesh from
his anatomy and running four-dol-
lar pair OF pants. The old COW took
advantage of the gap in the fence
and got into the corn field and killed
herself eating green corn. Hearing
the racket, the wife ran, T. set four
gallon churn full of rich cream into
a basket of kittens, drowning the
whole flock. In the hurry she
dropped a seven-dollar set of false
teeth The baby, left alone. crawled
through the spilled milk into the par
Tor, running brandnew $50 carpet.
During the excitement the oldest
daughter ran away with the hired
man; the dog broke up II setting
hens and the calves got out and
chewed the tails off four fine shirts.
