HAIL TO THE PLAIN WOMAN!

One Man Introduces Boom I'm Her
Behalf.
This. according to a clever man, is the
day OF the plain woman.
There Sas time. he says, when all the
heroines of romance were beautiful
when those ladies had eyes of heaven S
own blue. or of russell brown. or pansy
purple, according as the author most af-
fected blondes or brunettes. Moreover,
their hair was never nondesc-ipt
brown. as so much hair is, but was pure
golden or black as night. and their skin
was without a blemish, their teeth with
out a flaw.
That's all changed now regular fea-
lures are out of fashion. and the heroine
of today has a retrousse nose, prom
inent chin. even teeth that project a tri-
fle-any defect. in fact. that will i'm
press the reader as lending character to
her face.
Beauty went out of fashion this man
says, and his ideas are by no means orig
inal, because its owner was usually
spoiled by the attention she received, and
became capricious and ftful in her
moods and oyerbearing, and concerted
and many other things that wece disa-
gree5ble.

and so ready with clever little gtOries
and so prompt to respond to an invita-

you.

CARBONDALE.
WILL BE SETTLED SATURDAY.
School Board will Fix Course and
Elect PRINCIPAL,

Last night the officers of the school
board executed the formalities OF sign
ing contracts with the recently elected
teachers. Saturday night the board
will meet and settle the two questions
which have been agitating the public
mind for the past three months-it
will fix the course of study and elect
a principal for the high school.
Attorney Buffers opinion regarding
the status of the principalship has
been received by the board, but what
Il contains cannot be learned. There
Is somo reason, however, for believing
that Il favors the election of prin-
cipal, which Is tantamount to consid-
ering the extension of Professor Bry-
,den's contract illegal.
In asmuch as the physicians of the
fity have filed their protest against the
dd curriculum, the fixing of new
courses will be attended by no little
interest and possibly by some warm
discussions by members Of the board.
1t will also be necessary, before Pro-
fessor Hockenberry can be elected, Tor
him to resign and for his successor to
be seated. Then he will occupy the IN
enviable position of being in the hands
of his friends. OF course, his election
has been slated for months, but Ike all
other events OF the future It posses an
element of uncertainty,
The board room will be crowded on
Saturday night and those who wish
to witness the important proceedings
will have to be on hand early.

The late trouble In China has perhaps stirred
the Christian world more than anything that has
happened in a nations affairs for many years.
All civilized nations were interested and none
more than our own country, wthour minister,
Mr.. Conger, and his family, barricaded In the
legation at Pekn and subject to daily attacks
by the hordes of Boxer troops, and every Ameri.
can heart beat with apprehension until news
came OF their relief.
That this subject and incident would make
strong dramatic story for the stage goes without
saying and Manager Elroy has taken advantage
of 1t, and tonight the patrons of the Academy
will have an opportunity Of seeing in mimic form
just what transpired in far away China. The
play opens with Boxer outbreak and termin-
ates with the relief Of the legation in Pckin and
the triumphant entrance OF General Chaffce and
the United States troops.

William Gillette's "Secret Service" which is
TO be presented with all the original scenery and
effects at the Lyceum Monday afternoon and even.
ing, Sept. 3, Labor day, is a four act drama
founded ON certain incidents in connection with
the siege Of Richmond during the late Civil
war. Mr.. Gillette's previous performances in the
play.mlkng line, all Of which have been eminent
successes and some Of which are still popular
attractions, gave reason for the expectation that
he would some day write the most striking
American play ever penned, and, il all that has
been written about "Secret Service" is to be be.
lieved he has reached that distinction in this
work.
Indeed, "Secret Service" has been almost un.
animously declared by the critics 'the best
American play ever written" 1t has at all events
proved most worthy successor 70 "The Private
Secretary" "IIeld by the Enemy" "Mr. Wilkn.
sons Widows and Too Much Johnson" 1t aud
"Held by the Enemy" arc the only pieces Of
serious work which the author has done for the
stage and they both have won distinction the
first having been so good a war play that 1t
called all American dramatists' attention to this
source Of supply for war material and it remained
the best war drama until "secret Service" was
written.
