Burton Holmes lectures this year will
be of unusual interest. all being entirely
new and relating to his recent journey
around the world. The subjects will be
st. Petersburg" Moscow" Siberia -
'Pekin," and Seoul, the Capital of
Korea"
Mr.. Holmes enters upon his season
equipped with a series of talks upon his
interesting observations and researches
during the past summer in Russia, ST.
bcria, China. and Korea. and he and his
assistant, Oscar Bennett Depue, who ac-
companied him on his circle of the globe,
have secured rare collection of moving
pictures. with which the lectures will be
illustrated. One of the great charms of
these lectures lies in the fact that these
moving pictures and the words from the
lips of the lecturer proceed in perfect
harmony.
The lectures will be given at the
Columbia five successive Tuesday after
moons, beginning next Tuesday. The
course sale of tickets is now going on
at the box office.

cess which attended him in the East, and
even larger audiences have greeted him

Cleveland than did in this vicinity, yet

LITTLE WILLIE LOST
WAY BUT NOT HIS Wit
Baltimore Lad Calls Promptly
on the Police.
Young Ford Came to visit His Aunt
Gertie, but Couldn't Find Her
Parents Notified.

A neatly dressed lad, scarcely more
than twelve years of age, walked into
the First precinct police station shortly
after II O'Clock last night, and addressing
Policeman Cats, who stood before the
big brass stationhouse railing facing the
desk sergeant said:
"Say, Mister, I'm lost"
Where do you live, sonny" cnquired
the big policeman.
Knew Where He Lived.
s'Oh. | lives in Baltimore. at 1892 La
fayette Avenue, near Fulton Avenue,
sir" answered the little chap, turning
his big blue eyes UP at the bluecoat. Now
| tell you" he continued, as if uncon-
scious of the presence of the other Off
Gals who sat behind the big railing. Ny
names willie Ford sir. and I'm just
twelve years old. You see, I've got an
aunt living here, and thought l would
take trip on 20 see her. I came TO this
city at 10 O'Clock this morning, and have
been walking around all day, trying to
hnd her. but couldn't"
whats her name" enquired Patrol
haps we can find her Ter you"
"Just Gcrtic," That's All.
"Oh, her names Gertie-just Gertie;
that's all"
Upon being asked her last name he said
he didn't know it. The little stranger
said he had lost his ticket to Baltimore,
together with a dollar bill.
There was nothing for the police to do
but to take Willie into custody, and he
was given seat behind the rail. Pa
troIman Cooper ascertained his father S
name, and word was at once sent to Balti-
more notifying the parents of his esca-
pade In the meantime the House of De-
tention cab was summoned and Willie
was removed for the night to that insti-
tuition.
Gee, but had good time" the little
citizen from the Monumental City sung
out as he was whirled away, but it is pos
sible that Willie will not be in such a
happy frame of mind when he is con-
fronted by a stern parent today and es-
corted back to his home in Baltimore.

The NatiOnaI-"Ben Hur.v

The big Klaw & Erlanger production

dramatic interest is Ben Hur'' notable

admirable. 1t is q play that not only the
regular patrons of the theatre will wit
ness with manifold feelings of delight and
satisfaction, but those who are infreauent
visitors to the playhouse and who are

The Observation-Disclosures omcers.n

Brother officers" which the Bellows
stock company will produce at the Lafay-
cite Square next week, ought to prove
one OF the strongest attractions that has
been yet offered to the patrons of this
playhouse. The play has the prestige of
long runs in London and New York, and
those who saw it when it was presented
at the National last year will recall it
as one OF the most Charming comedy
dramas ever presented On the local stage.
The play will be handsomely mounted,
as Manager Walter Clarke Bellows will
invite comparison with the original pro-
duction and it is doubtful il his presen-
tation of the play will suffer thereby.
Brother officers" will be played at
the usual Wednesday and Saturday matt
nees. On Tuesday night and at the Satur-
day matinee autographed portraits of
Frederic sullivan will be presented to
each lady purchasing admission to the
lower floor.

FILIPINOS FIND WAY
TO Send MESSAGE
General Chaffee Reports on
Some Discoveries Made.
Native Killed His Companion in Jail
ON Orders Struggled in From
InsGrGent Leaders.

Neither stone walls, iron balls. stout
locks, nor guards OF American soldiers can
keep the insurgeni Fiiipinos from execut-
ing the orders Of their leaders.
General Chaffee has just sent to the
War Department the report of the trial
and sentence to death of Pedro Corpus,
native Pedro and Victor Cupay were
Filipino prisoners in the hands OF the
Americans until o'clock p. m. August
%, 1901, when Pedro calmly crushed the
head of his sleeping fellow with Il roof
ing tile.
Proved II Traitor.
During the trial it was learned by
piecemeal that orders had come down to
Cauayan from a high chief in the noun
tains that Victor was traitor TO the
cause, and that Pedro should be his eX-
ecutioner. Pedro obeyed All OF this was
conveyed more by hints than by direct
testimony but the corpse of the victim
was an undenable fact. and Pedro was
sentenced to hang January % last.
General Chaffee, in his comment on the
case, does not attempt to explain how
the orders could have penetrated the
American lines, and crept by even the
sentry at the doors of the prison.
Twenty-Five other natives are reported
in the same mail as having been found
guilty, and given sentences ranging from
ten years in the penitentiary 10 eapi'ai
punishment.
