given out by Tao Tai sheng In shang.
hal that the reason that tho heavy
guns bearing on the legations AZ Pelkln

clous designs and dlctatorlal ambition.

The Orpheum seems to be going
about the affair in the right way. The

from Mendelssohn, Mozart, Mascagni,
Meyerbeer. Verdi, leave little scope
for any possibility Of shock to the SUI
persensitive. The man would indeed
be judged a bigot who objected. for
instance, to Mendelssohn's Songs

home on Sunday evenings. The Sun
day concert is a transference of such
music to a public place for the bene-
fit of those who are unable to secure
it at their own homes. Doubtless the

is commercial. but the attempt to pop

a most plausible one. and indeed /.

"when We Were Twenty-one."

Such a finished actor as George Clarke ts sure to enlist a wide range of popular in- terest in every part of which he undertakes, affu~Ehen he appears at the Jefferson The etre next Thursday as "Richard Carewe" in the great Knickerbocker Theatre suc- cess. "When We Were Twenty-one," that interest will be more than doubled. When We Were Twenty-one' is powerful drama of love and devotion by H. V. Esmonds. In it humor and paBhos are mied in masterly way and the story is intensely interest ing.
 'When We Were Twenty-one" is a love story pure and simple, and is told In a straightforward homely way. It is a story of how Dick Carewe and his comrades rear and guide the only son of a deceased chum: how they guard and save him from the pitfalls and snares that lie in the path of life at twenty-one. It is a story of hearts bound together by ties of friendship that rades save their ward from the results of his foolish impetuosity. It also tells how a great abiding loves comes to Dick Carewe, all in return for his willing sacrifice for the girl he loves and who, he thinks, loves his ward. This play is undoubtedly one of the greatest of modern times, and will be pre- sented by MT. Clarke's company of artists under the direction of Mr. Edward +. Rice.

WOMAN VICTIM OF
 ATROC|OUS MURDER
Facts Come to Light During a Trial Before Military
 Commission

Washington, December A-News has been received at the War Department of peculiarly atroeious murder in the Philip pines, the circumstances of which were developed at the trial of six natives before a military commission at Capiz, Panay. It appears from the testimony that two of the prisoners were responsible for the death of the wife of one of their neighbors. With seven or eight other men they went to the house of native named Victor Pere and forcibly took him and his wife to the Pa nay river, where they bound their hands behind them and told them that their Hast day had come." The woman was struck with a bolo and her dead body thrown into the river. Her husband witnessed her mur- der and anticipating similar treatment, sprang into the river, and notwithstanding his arms were pinoned, managed to reach the opposite shore. According to the wit nesses the motive for the crime was a su- perstitlous belief that the murdered wom- an was witch possessed of occult powers, whereby she, in some mysterious way, had brought about the death of another neigh bor's child. The two men were sentenced to be hanged but General Macarthur mitigated the sentence in each case to con- finement at hard labor for twenty years out of consideration for the exceedingly low order of intelligence and blind super. of the accused.

 IN LOVE AFFAIR Has Gone to New York to Try to Pull Himself To-
 gether

New York, December 24.-A Washington dispatch to the Journal Is as follows:
 When General Corbin left few days ago for visit to his daughter in New York the announcement was made to his friends here that he had gone to recuperate from the eff fects of a severe cold
 But there runs an undereUrrent in so- ciety that the adjutant general is suffering from deeper-seated malady, that he has, in fact, gone away to pull himself together from an affair of the heart which, however, is not quite hopeless.
 According to one authority the matri- monial attentions so evident on the part of General Corbin toward Miss Edith Pat ten have not been meeting with the success he would desire.
 There is nothing to find fault with in re- gard to the attitude of the young woman herself in the affair But there are whispers of a whole big book of complaints to be lodged against the attitude of her sisters, who, 1t is said are distinctly against The idea of their sister Edith marrying General Corbn The reasons for this stand are en- tirely financial ones. The Patten girls, 1t Is well known, are among>the wealthiest members of Washington society, and desire to keep their money altogether in the fam ily The marriage of their older sister some dozen years ago to MT. Glover of St. Louis, at that time a member of Congress, was a costly experience, for it resulted in an ex- tensive lawsuit.
 General CorbIn has made no secret of his attentions to Miss EdTth ever since that well-remembered afternoon in the late spring, when after issuing broadcast in so- ciety invitations to assemble in their swellest turnouts and form back of the White House, he dashed down among this assemblage of his friends driving Miss Edith Patten in the highest dog cart in the city.
 This action on his part was taken by so- ciety at the time as tantamount to an &C., knoWledgement of an engagement. Since then the adjutant general may have been Ieen almost every fine afteroon driving with the same compaion. But so far there Is no tinkle of marriage bells in the air.

MUST LOOK ELSEWHERE.
Secretary Hay Declines to Aid in Ad-
 jus ng Claims.

New York December 4.-Peru and Bo- livia must look elsewhere than the United States for help in adjusting the claims of chili to the provinces of Tacna and Africa, says the Washington corre- spondent of the Herald. The Peruvian and Bolivian government recently requested the United States to it's good offices Tn bringing about a peaceful and satisfactory solution of the dispute with Chilli. Secre- tary Hay definitely and fully declined to accede to its request.
 This action will probably have an i'm portant effect upon Chili's course with re- spect to the invitation of the government of Mexico to participate in the Pan-Amer- ican conference to be held next year Jn the City of Mexico. Chilli has hesitated about accepting the invitation because of her fear that the Peruvian and Bolivian governments would drag into the confer ence the Tacna and Africa controversy, and that she might be pledged to arbitra- ton upon lines opposed to her own inter- eSiS
 Her position is explained by the Minister for Foreign Affairs in a letter to Senior Don Corlos Moria Viscuna, the Chilian minister in Washington, which says in part: 'In order that our purpose may not be misunderstood 1 explicitly state that this government does not object to ques- tions relative to international arbitration being considered in the conference. On the contrary, as I had already the opportunity y of expressing dt to you. Chilli will readily assist in furthering this programme, so trapscendent for the future of all nations But I wish also to state once more that what Chilli cannot admit is amplitude and the vagueness that may follow the rais- ing of unpleasant, inopportune and vexa- tious polemics in the course of the confer ference deliberations"

Among the many famous cures of Swamp-Root investigated by The Age-Her aid, none seem to speak higher of the won derful curative properties of this great kid ney remedy than the one we publish this week for the benefit of our readers.
 Mrs H. N Wheeler, of IT High Rock St, Lynn, Mass, writes: About IS months ago I had very severe spell of sickness. l was extremely sick for three weeks, and when I finally was able to leave my bed I was left with excruciating pains in my back. My water al times looked very like coffee l could pass but little at a time, and then only after suffering great pain. My physical condition was such that I had no strength, and was all run down. The doctors said my kidneys were not affected, but l felt certain that they were the cause of my trouble My sister, Mrs. c. E. Lit tlefeld, of Lynn, advised me to give Dr. Kflmer's Swamp-Root trial. I procured a bottle, and inside of three days com meneed to get relief I followed up that bottle with another, and at the completion of this one found I was completely cured. My strength returned, and today I am as we'll as ever My business is that of can Vassef l am on my feet a great deal of the time and have to use much energy in getting around. My cure is therefore all the more remarkable, and is exceedingly gratifying to me-
