BERNHARDT CLOSES.
Cordial Welcome Given Her by New
Workers.

Workers.
New York, April 14.-Mme. Sarah
Bernhardt and M. Coquelin closed the
final week of their American engage
ment at the Metropolitan Opera House
last night, presenting M. Edmond
Rostands great drama, L'Aiglon.
1t was in this play that the cele-
brated French actress and actor be,
gan their American tour at the Gar
den theater several months ago, one
in which they have scored one of
their greatest triumphs. The opera
house, on account of it's size, has
never been popular for dramatic per-
formances, but the audiences of the
week were large.
Nine. Bernhard and M. Coquelin
received a cordial welcome. At
first the audience. overawed apparent
~ by the immensely of the auditorium
and its distance from the stage, was
inclined to be somewhat cold. This
feeling gradually disappeared and the
dramatic scenes of the play were re-
ceived with enthusiastic and appre-
ciative applause. Several scenes, par
ticularly that of Flambeau's death on
the field of Wagram, were particularly
effective on the large stage, and the
numerous curtain calls testified to th-
pleasure of the audience.

VICE OPEN AND RAMPANT fN
NEW YORK.
SO COMMITTEE REPORTS
investigators Say Gambling Has Be-
come Distinct Menace and is Pro-
tected by MISUNDERSTANDING
Meeting Places to Discuss city's
Interests.

New York, April 12.-The commit,
ago to investigate vice as it exists In
this city made a preliminary report to
the public yesterday. The report says
that gambling and pool rooms are
being operated openly in violation of
the law; that the gambling spirit has
been developed to such an extent as to
become distinct menace TO the COM
munity, and that these resorts are I'M
doubtedly protected in their operation
by officers whose duty it is to close
them. The committee says the actual
conditions of the tenement house pop
ulation is alarming in respect to the
social evil, and that in 125 tenemen
houses examined by its agents In
which disorderly women were living
there was found in each house an ay-
erage of twenty-four children under
the age of eighteen years.
The committee recommends provid-
ing suitable places of meeting where
people in each neighborhood can come
together to discuss the evils that men,
ace their civil life. The recommended
ton is made that in each assembly
district one suitable assembly aall
shall be built, which shall be kept
available for such citizens meetings,
and it throws out the suggestion that
these might be built in connection
with the new public libraries which
are likely to be erected in every part
of greater New York.

CHICAGO IN MIDDLE
BAD STATE OF CITY's FINANCIAL.
AFFAIRS.
SURPRISING REVELATIONS
Loose Systems of Bookkeeping In
Which Millions of Dollars Remain
Unaccounted For-Many Duplicate
Payments of Claims Possible ana
Record Books Destroyed.

New York, April 14.-Some time ago
Messrs. Haskins and Sells, public &C
countants of this city and Chicago,
were engaged by the Merchants club
of Chicago to make an examination of
the accounting methods of the city of
Chicago. Yesterday the accountants
issued letter supplemental to the de-
tailed report previously made which
says that the accountants found the
accounts of the city in deplorable
condition, due mainly to the survival
of methods of control and record utter
ly inadequate to the requirements of
one Of the great cities of the modern
world. The letter goes on to say.
'The report says that taxes to the
amount Of $4,000 year for the past
decade has been released as loss and
deficiency upon the mere word of tax
gatherers; that the payment of mile
age and licenses under franchise law,
when offered at all, have been accept
ed without audit; that vouchers have
been paid uncertified; that subsidiary
special assessment ledgers have stood
both unbalanced and unverified that
clerical errors such as the posting Of
hundreds Of thousands of dollars have
remained uncorrected and that books
Of record have been destroyed.
''The incompatibility of depart.
mental methods one with another is
exemplified in the discrepancy of more
than 100000 in the total value of
municipal water works, as shown by
two sets Of the city's books;
in variation of about $1,125 900 in the
balance applicable to sinking funds as
shown by the records in two different
Offices; in the difference of nearly
S8,OOO,000 in two contemporaneou
statements of money received for pub
lie schools and in various other incon-
gruities set forth in the report
These faulty methods have led to
forced balances, frequent Jumping of
accounts, wholesale COMMISSIONS, arbi-
tpary entries of millions of dollars
each credited in anticipation of money
expected and the like. and are respon-
sible for possible duplicate payment of
claims against the municipality.
"As a general result of the prevail
ing confusion, the balance sheet is in
complete; the civic body is in the dark
as to the condition or wants of the
treasury, officials of whatever party
are brought under cloud of suspicion,
and vague charges of incompetency
are allowed to lie against the city
otherwise celebrated for the business
ability of it's inhabitants. A series of
reforms believed to be entirely prac-
ticable are suggested in the report.
They begin with the improvements
nearest to hand and look to the final
municipal unity of greater Chicago.
The changes indicated are first and
Immediately by the city authorities,
secondly by the legislature, thirdly by
constitutional convention.

SOAP MAY GO UP.
But Not Enough tc Forbid One Keep
ina Clean.

my SiCoHs
A telegram from Chicago states that
soap manufacturers and their repre-
sentatives to the number Of seventy
were in secret session at the Grand
Pacific hotel 1t is reported that a
new association of manufacturers is to
one which went out of existence some
years ago. Nearly all of the leading
soap manufacturing concerns were
represented
All effort was made by the big man
ufacturers in '99 to get together, and
the smaller factories were perfectly
willing to acquiesce in any arrange
ment that would put the trade in
respectable condition and make the
business profitable. But the arrange
ment failed to stick. One of the big
ones cut loose with a free deal" The
free deal has been the hoodoo of the
soap trade since it was first tried in
the early nineties. 1t consists in sell
ing a certain amount Of soap to the re-
taller at a list price and then in throw
ing in a number of extra boxes. Some
of the big soap makers say their
laundry soap business has been a
money loser for them for years and
that they have only been able to re-
cuperate their profits in the sale of
toilet soaps and of washing powders
and compounds. What affects the big
factories affects the small ones, and
there is a general disposition among
the manufacturers to get together. and
stop the free deal war. On most of
the standard grades it will mean a
cake or less on 25-cent purchase.

DRANK A LIZARD.
And 1t Remains in the Stomach for
EIGHT Years.


Eight Years.
Clinton, Iowa, April 14.-George G.
McClusky of this place has been re-
lieved of a live lizard 51a inches in
length that has inhabited his stomach
for eight years. For three years
McClus.y has been an invalid and has
suffered greatly. When taken sick he
weighed about ITO pounds and few
weeks ago when he was taken to St.
Louis to be operated upon, he weighed
but 105 pounds and could not walk
without help. The doctors said he
had a tumor in his stomach and he
went to st. Louis to have it removed.
He was kept without food for three
days, during which time the lizard be-
came so restless that it's movements
could be observed on the outside of
the body. On the third a piece of
poisoned bread was forced down Nc
Clusky's stomach. This the lizard
ate and soon died. A strong cathartic
relieved the patient and the lizard
was cast out, but for three or four
days McClusky's condition was con-
Sidered hopeless.
The lizard was carefuny examined
by naturalists and they say it is at
least S years old. Mr.. McClusky says
that about eight years ago, when fish
ing, he laid down on the bank Of he
river and drank from among a pile of
stones. He swallowed something but
he did not know what it was, but sup
posed it was some vegetable sub
| stance.

TROLLEYS GREAT FUTURE.

Promises to Solve the Rapid Transit
Problem.
New York, April 11.-Under the
title of The Trolley Age Albert L.
Johnson has al article in the In
dependent In part, he says:
''The transportation problem Of the
present time may be stated thus:
How shall transportation systems
carry people and the commodities
necessary for their maintenance as
expeditiously as possible at a mini
mum cost? The steam railroads have
endeavored to meet conditions and
the general trend Of steam railroad
rates has been lower and lower every
year. Rates nevertheless are still
too high. The times and the people
demand that the charges must be
lowered. We must adopt the electric
system, in which each Individual car
is supplied with it's own motive
power and can be run as often as
necessary with nothing to earn
beyond it's own cost of operation.
The electric system will solve ne
problem of over-crowding in our great
cities. 1t will move the laboring
man from the physical and moral NJ
ment district. Excluding the milk
healthfulness of the congested tene-
traffic the greater portion of the
garden truck supply of large cities is
brought within their limits by teams
Electric lines with far more facility
can handle milk, butter, the products
of the farm and truck garden, practi-
cally taking them up at the farm gate
and delivering them at the door of the
consumer.

QUEER SUIT.
Steamboat Company Charged With
Deporting Wife and Children.


Philadelphia, April 1.-THE Inter
national Navigation company is
charged with having forcibly abducted
Mrs. Maria Hahaner and her two lit
tie boys, David, aged 10, and Moritz,
aged 5 years, by Selling them with
violence and compelling them to go
aboard one Of the company's vessels
which left this port September 20,
1900, bound for an unknown port in
Europe
This charge is made by Selig Ka-
haner, the husband and father, who
began suit against the company to re-
cover $4,000 damages for the loss of
his wife and children and the pain and
suffering undergone.
Kahaner is a Roumanian and has
been in this city for some time. Sep
TENDER 26 last his wife and two boys
came over on one of the company's
steamers to join him. The port ply
stefan found that one Of the boys was
suffering from skin disease, and that
official was of the opinion that the
condition of the child brought it into
the category Of unfit immigrants. He
ordered the deportation of the child
Kahaner, who went to meet his fam
lily, and who was aware of this fact,
sent doctor to examine the child
The physician did so and reported
that he could cure it up in short
time. Kahaner appealed to the COM
pany, who sent to Washington for q
stay of deportation. A stay is power
to return or let remain immigrants
making application responsible in
either case.
The plaintiff alleges that the COM
pany received the stay on Saturday,
September 20, and despite satisfactory
arrangements to the contrary, officers
of the departing ship went to the hos
pital, where the sick boy, his brother
and mother were staying, and COM
PEELED the three to go to the vessel,
which departed for Europe with them
on board.

MOUNTAIN OF GLASS.
differing Radations Supremacy Beau
tifuI and Dangerous.


Phoenix, Ari., April IA party of
archaeologists and antiquarians has
made important discoveries in the
hitherto unexplored region of the
northern limit of the HarQuahala
range of mountains in Arizona. On
one side the mountain rises in ter
races and presents many features pc
culiar to the grand canyon Of Colo
RADIO. This whole mass is of volcanic
glass, and glitters in colors Of green,
blue and black. This phenomenon
may be seen on clear mornings from
a great distance and the glitter and
radiations have a1lured many travel
lers in its direction to death.
Aside from the mountain affording
an interesting study in geology, there
are features attractive to the anti
quarian. The exploring party found
under a high shelving in the rocks a
narrow-necked ola or earthern jar
bottom side up, containing human
bones, a broken hammer and a me
tate or stone employed by the pre-
historic races of Arizona, probably for
the same purposes that the aborigines
of today put them to for grinding
maize. Slabs, turquoise stones and
other curiosities wer revealed by dig
ging and there were marks on buried
rocks taken to be inscriptions on
slabs.
The mountain Of glass is a marvel
of volcanic upheaval. It's shape sug-
gests a volcanic overflow, the center
of the cone forming a gigantic tube,
from which the highest point was
