ESCAPED y$ -a HER LIFE
BeyODfs 2 Jew Injuries She
 Wy Through Unharmed.
A Foolhardy Feat Never Before At tempted Except by Those Deter mined Upon Suicide-Says It
 Will Help Her Financially.

Niagara ralls, N. r.. Oct. 24-Mrs. A.- na Edson Taylor, aged 70 years, went over the Canadian falls this morning and sur vived, a feat never before accomplished and never attempted except in the de- liberate commission of suicide. She made the trip in barrel
 Not only did she survive, but escaped without a broken bone. her only apparent injury being a scalp wound one ana half inches long, a slight concussion of the brain, some shock to her nervous system and bruises about the body. She was conscious when taken out of the barrel. The doctors in attendance on her tonight said although she was somewhat hysterical, her condition is not at all se- rious, and that she probably will be out of bed in a few days.
 Mrs. Taylors trip covered a mile ride through the Canadian rapids before she reached the brink of the precipice. Her barrel, staunch as a barrel could be made, was twirled and buffeted through those delirious waters, but escaped serious contact with rocks. As It passed through the smoother, swifter waters that rushed over into the abyss, 1t rode in an almost perpendicular position with its upper half out of the water.
 Drop of 15s Feet.
 As 1t passed over the brink, 1t rode at an angle of about forty-five degrees on the outer surface of the deluge and de- seconded gracefully to the white. foaming waters 15S feet below.
 True to her calculation, the anvil fas- tened to the bottom of the barrel kept it foot downward and so it landed. Had it turned over and landed on its head, Mrs. Taylor's head must have been crushed in and her neck broken.
 The ride through the rapids occupied eighteen minutes. It was 4:23 o'clock when the barrel took its leap. It could not be seen as 1t struck the water below, IbecadS6 cf the spray bnt In less Than half minute after 1t passed over the brink 1t was seen on the surface of the scum-covered water below the falls. It was carried swiftly down to the green water beyond the scum; then half way to the Maid of the Mist eddy and held there until 1t fioated so close to the shore that 1t was reached by means of pole and hook and drawn in upon the rocks at 4:40 o'clock, seventeen minutes after 1t shot the cataract.
 The woman was lifted from the barrel and half an hour later she lay on a cot at her boarding place, in Niagara Falls, on the American side. She said she would never do it again, but that she was not sorry she did it, If it would help her financially" She said she had prayed all during the trip. except during "a few moments" of unconsciousness just after her descent.
 The barrel in which Mrs. Taylor made the journey is 1-2 feet high and about 3 feet in diameter A leather harness and cushions inside protected her body. Air was secured through a rubber tube con- nected with a small opening near the top of the barrel.
 Mrs. Taylor is a school teacher and re- gently came here from Bay City. Mich.

HHuman Hearts. !"

That great and beautiful drama. Human
Hearts," will be presented Thursday, Friday and
Saturday at the Academy OF Music. "liunan
Hearts," the companion play to, but entirely di.
ferent from "Shore Acres,'' is regarded as one Of
the best American stage productions OF the pas.
ten years.
When any play by comparatively unknown
author, first merits attention enough TO secure
an opening and then goes on to the stage OF the
Fifth Avenue theater. and continues one whole
season without cessation, il is a guarantee OF its
qualified power and its real merit as well, as
the Fifth Avenue theater clientele is one that
will not tolerate even tolerably good one for
long.
Such was the experience OF ''ITuman Hearts, -
and now in its hith season with almost the idcn.
tical cast that presented it for year in New
York.

CHANCES FOR YOUNG MEN.
Those for Good Ones Are Better
Than Ever Before.


General F. V, Greene, in The Worlds Work,
There are three sorts of men, and
FOR two Of these sorts the tendency to
industrial consolidation is a distinct
advantage, while for the third there Is
no salvation in any economic system
that has yet been devised These three
classes are the thoroughly competent
who go TO the top and command an
nual salaries that would once have
been fortunes; the half competent whc
find profitable employment in subOrl-
mate positions and are saved from
going into business for themselves and
failing, as they would have failed
under the old system; and the incom-
petent who sit Oh the park benches as
they would have done before.
This country is so big and It's trade
is becoming so vast that big concerns
are needed to handle it. No collection
OF small manufacturers, without q
common purpose except to fight on /.
another, could hope to handle such 4
business. 1t requires consolidation, or
ganization. and heads capable Of hand-
ling armies of men. This is the oppor-
tunity of the young man with brains.
So far as I know anything about large
concerns, they are all looking for good
men TO take high executive positions.
The man who has the advantage of an
education in a technical school. anl
possesses business ability, viii b.
rushed right along to the top. The
great combinations can we'll afford "a
pay large salaries TO men who can
manage their expensive machinery and
who are trained TO high special labor.
Every increase In the extent of COM
mercial organization and in the trade
of the country wdens the range of op-
| portunities.

Odd Musical limitations.

Miss Cheridah Simpson, the well known artist
and imitator OF various musical instruments who
has made a most marked impression upon the
patrons OF the great vaudeville theaters in the
larger Of our metropolitan cities, has been Sc.
cured by Manager Burke, OF the vaudeville, for
their next appearance here, which occurs on
next Thursday afternoon and night. The great
oddity OF Miss Simpsons limitations arises from
the remarkable manner in which they are pro-
duced, she initiating in an almost perfect man.
ner, nearly every string instrument now in
vogue as well as the cornet, clarionet, trombone
bassoon and drum, all done exclusively with a
a piano, these limitations have secured for her a
reputation of being one Of the most entertaining
and pleasing artists now in the vaudeville pro-
fession.

Side Tracked"

The attraction at the Academy Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday will be the sensational COM
edy drama "side Tracked" which deals with tho
funny side Of life on the railroad. "side
Tracked is comedy bordering on the farce IL
is up to date, and as presented by the A. Q.
Scsmmon company is a most enjoyable enter
tainment. The play is written to amuse, and /.
never fails in this with the most eXacting audi.
ence. The leading character is a tramp, and to
him is accorded regular ovation, Portrayed by
the perfect mimicry Of the actor, he appears in
role that appeals TO the heart of every audi.
ence and makes each spectator not only laugh
as each familiar aspect Of tramp nature is dis
played, but arouses genuine enthusiasm, as the
heart OF oak is seen beating under the ragged
jacket Of the wayiarcr.
The play is intcrspeised with bright comedy
sparkling music, pretty girls and charming lovers.
ls special scenery and mechanical effects are
also worthy of special mention II is breezy,
bright and always the move, and there is y
vim and ''go' about it that captures the gallery
as well as ,he elite OF every audience.
