TRANSLATE STRENUOUS LIFE
Princess and Colleague PubIish
R~oOseveIt's Famous work
I'm French.

PARIS, Nov. IA French translation OF
President Roosevelt's book THE Strenuous
Life" which appeared here last week under
the title Of Ia Vie Intense" has attracted
widespread Interest. The translation Is by
Princess Ferdinand De Faucigny Lucinge
and Jean Izlouet. who declare their work
has been authorized by Mr.. Roosevelt.
The preface pays a glowing tribute to the
United States and compares President
Roosevelt's book to James Bryce's THE
American Commonwealth" saying the lat
ter gives the views Of an outside observer,
while THE Strenuous Life" gives those Of
one on the inside.
President Roosevelt is described as "the
virile champion OF a nation that has be-
come powerful in deciding the destinies Of
the world
The high standards which Mr.. Roosevelt
has introduced into public life in America
are dwelt upon.
Another work by the Vicomte De Noailles,
which appeared last week, gives a detailed
account of the operations OF the French
soldiers and marines who participated in
the war for American independence. The
information was obtained from oficisl
sources.

At the Boyd.

AS one of the numerous class OF "b'gosh'
dramas presented as portraying folk-life in
New England half a century or more ago,
The Village Postmaster is entirely ortho-
dox, and the audience is neither disap-
pointed of any of. those features which 1t
has been educated to expect or startled
by any radical innovations. The same sim
pie country life is depicted with its person
mel OF the familiar types of stage "Rube,'
male and female, and its stage pictures OF
the country store, the donation party,
threshing day on the farm and the village
church. Manifestly there is a certain pro-
portion OF the theater going public that is
entertained by that sort Of thing and large
audiences attended both performances OF
The Village Postmaster" at the Boyd yes
terday and gave abundant evidence of their
approval. The piece is well constructed
dramatically and we'll written. The COM
pany is capable. and its MEMBERS achieve
all of the possibilities of the play.

NOW LEAN TO THE ARTISTIC
Uncle Sam Gets New Design for
Document Furnished to
Inventors.

For the first time in sixty years a change
has been made by the United States gov
eminent in connection with the deeds is
sued to inventors in securing their crea-
lions. Heretofore letters patent as issued
by the United States comprised a simple
document, unadorned excepting for the red
seal of the patent ONCE. the usual official
blue ribbon and a steel engraving of the
patent ONCE, before which is shown a
darkey's pusheart and a street car drawn
by a single horse. The last letters patent,
one of which has just been received by
Messrs. Sues & Co., OF Omaha, discloses
that something OF the artistic is now en-
bodied in the patents issued, and the new
document shows a handsome border embel-
lished deed, surrounded with scrolls and
arabesque, surmounted by a beautiful pic
ture of the patent ONCE upon a scroll,
above which Is disclosed the coat-of-arms
OF the United States. Below is a shield,
while upon one side is shown an inventor
resting upon a gear wheel and bearing a
torch, while upon the side opposite is an
inventor surrounded by retorts and chem
zeal apparatus. The blue ribbon skirts
the border on one side, while the seal is
In the lower left hand corner, the whole
making a very beautiful document.

Senator spoOner to Ask Official InveStiga-

cent Political Fight aud
Demanding Action.

MADISON. Wis, Nov. Ex-senator John
G. spooner has decided to call President
Roosevelt's attention to the reports Of po-
litical irregularities or outrages in Porto
Rico and will probably ask that an official
Investigation be made.
Senator spooner left for Washington last
night, having been called by the president
for a conference on the coming message to
congress.
Colonel George W. Bird OF this city,
father Of Hobart s. Bird, editor Of the San
Juan News, persuaded the senator to take
the matter up. He laid before him evil
dence tending to prove that certain promi-
nent members Of the federal party were
being maliciously prosecuted and prose
cuted for their political activity.
1t is alleged that during the campaign
that ended last Tuesday a certain element
of the party opposing the federalists re-
sorted to every means Of intimidation and
in some instances even to physical vlo-
lence to break up their political meetings
and suppress their political activity. 1t is
also alleged that threats we're freely made
against the lives of the tederalists should
they have the temerity to go to the polls
and attempt to vote.

WEATHER is NOT ALARMING
No Prospect of Any Serious Fall I'm
the Temperature in This

Much apprehension was felt in Omaha
yesterday when the temperature began to
fall and a little rain came. Persistent
Haunting of cold wave signals by news
papers which do not seem to realize that
the Missouri valley is not confined to
omaha's immediate vicinity had the effect
of unnerving lots of people whose coal
bins do not contain the customary supply
of hard coal. On Saturday Forecaster
Welsh announced that Omaha was in nc
immediate danger of a visitation from
King Winter, and last night his reports
from all western stations we're such as to
warrant a repetition of his assurance OF
Saturday.
There is nothing alarming IN the con-
ditions," said the observer in charge Of
the weather once at 9 o'clock, after he
had looked over the reports sent In for
the evening. 'In fact, no evidence exists
Of any material change in the situation.
Our reports show very little precipitation
anywhere, no high winds and no unusual
drop In the temperature. No cold wave is
coming. and no sign OF one is now ap-
parent"
Inquiry at the dispatching Offices OF the
various railroads late last night failed to
develop any rumors OF an approaching cold
wave.

BRITISH ASK FOR FRANCHISE
wish to Build Philippine Railways,
but Must Give Americans
First Chance.

MANILA, Nov. e.-The English syndicate
which operates the Manila Dagupan rail-
road has applied for a franchise to con-
struct a railroad from Guiguinto, province
of Bulacan, to Cabanuatan, province of
Nueva Eouija. Tn syndicate contemplates
later the extension of the road to Appari,
on the north coast Of Luzon. 1t wants the
government to grant a right-of-way and to
make certain tariff taxes and concessions
for a term Of years.
The commission is preparing a railroad
law and will not grant the franchise until
Americans have had a chance to examine
the line Of the proposed road and submit
proposals.
The line to Appari will be part of the
future Luzon trunk line and the franchise
for its construction is therefore a matter
of Importance.

AfnuSetnentS
At the CreightOn-Orpheum.

Ned Wayburn's Jockey Club" is the
headline feature at the Creighton-Orpheum
for the week. 1t is simply a bunch of
pretty girls, headed by Countess Olga Won
hatfield, who sing and dance with an
energy that ELECTS furious applause. One
of their songs is a reminiscent affair, that
brings back memories of music halls of
many years ago. For example, 81 Hate to
Tell, But Then 1 Must" was a popular ditty
before any of the members of the present
Jockey Club was born, and this doesn't
intend to give the impression that they are
all infants, either. Even Sweet Violets"
antedates most of them, but they sing IL
and do a neat little bit of foot work in
cadence with the sweet strains Of the re-
frain. Harry LeClair, the im~personator,
has a lot of new things this time, and
makes an uproarious hit. His presentation
Of the old-time Legitimate" actress, with
an imitation OF Fannie Janauschek in the
role Of Mother Rosenbaum, is excellent. o..
X. Sato, the hobo juggler, does a number
Of old tricks with new Accomplishments in
a way that keeps the house laughing all the
time. Raschetta brothers are an accom-
plished pair of athletes, and their feats
have the merit of novelty. Dan and Dolly
Mann have a neat sketch, for which they
carry special scenery. and present 1t eff
fectively. Rosa Lee Tyler sings we'll, and
Delphino and Delmora do a neat musical
turn. Stuart Robson and several of his
company occupied a box at the matinee
yesterday afternoon and the great come
dian seemed to enjoy the bill more than
any one else in the audience, which was the
largest matinee audience Of the season.
The attendance at night was also very
large.

coastwise shipping bill before taking final
action.
The measure as drafted permits foreign
vessels to engage in the Philippine coast

Of foreign vessels bringing Chinese crews
to the Philippines to give bonds on the
Cinnamon, it requires the payment OF duties
on supplies purchased abroad, it gives the

MANY GERMANS MAKE HOLIDAY
Observe "Deutscher Tag" In New York
in Presence of Prince of
PIess.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-"Deutscher Tag"
q German festival, which has been cele-
brated In other parts of the country for
over twenty years, was observed for the
first time in this city today.
Ten thousand Germans gathered In Mad
ison Square Garden in memory Of the first
landing Of their race in America.
The ceremonies were attended by rim
Henry Won Pless, who was accompanied
by Herr Herman, the representative Of
the Berlin Chamber of Commerce. The
German embassy at Washington was rep
resented by Count A. Won Quadt-Wykra-
ditny. the charge d'affaires, and Herr Won
Ritter, the secretary Of legation.
The family Of the late General Franz
Sigel occupied a box as special guests of
honor. L. A. Wieman, president Of the
Baltimore Saengerfest association, accom-
panied by a delegation of German-Amer-
leans of that city, took part.
The garden was decorated In the German
%colors, black, red and white, alternating
with the American flag.
H. A. G. Anderson, president Of the
United German societies, under whose d.
rection the "Deutscher Tag was given,
delivered the address of the day. He
called attention to the fact thai other
nationalities in the city had a distinctively
national holiday, while the Germans made
no such demonstration. A German day,
such as the Irishmen's St. Patrick's day,
was the design of the "Deutscher Tag" He
declared that since the days Of Herkimer
and Steuben in the revolution. and Sigel
and Carl Schurz in the rebellion, Ger
mans had done their duty to the adopted
fatherland in war and peace. in science,
art, music n agriculture.
Following the address DIR. Anderson res
viewed the 1agbearers of all the societies,
and to the accompaniment of orchestra and
band the entire audience sang the German
anthem, Deutschland. Deutschland Uber
Allies"
