Lady who carried Weight for Age beat
out the Anti-Fat Candidate. Mrs.
Wrinkle was elected the Ideal Juliet by
a Majority of One, and some were
mean enough to say that she voted for
Herself. AS for Mama Skilligan she
was not Put Out a Particle. Not on

she could say to choke them off. Along
about o'clock she said it was time to
go down and watch the Balloon go up.
The Push landed in at the Opera
House just in time to break up the

nee there grew up along
side of a Railroad Track
y an overgrown Village that
O refused to be called a
Town, so it was known as
a City. 1t had a Water Tower, Court
House Park and a Steam Laundry.
On the Main Street was a Business
College where the Yokels learned in
nine weeks how to be Merchant Prin-
ces. Also Trolley Line that run as
far out as the Cemetery and then
threw up both Hands. The Particular
Pride of the Place was a $3.50 Hotel
with Tiled Floor and Ladies Parlor
so Magnificent that no one had been
known to use it.
All the Residents of this Progressive
Community took their Cues from two
Families that controlled more or less
Bank Stock and had Fountains playing
In the Front Yard, to say nothing of
Senegamb1anS to look after the Horses
and keep them from being Lonesome
These two Tribes were the real three-X
Gonzabas Any one on calling Terms
with the aristocratic Skilligans or the
exclusive Wrinkles had a perpetual Lii
cenSe to throw on right Smart of Dog
and kick about the Lack of Good So
ciety.
One of the many Diversions planned
by the high-collared Residents, so that
they might temporarily forget where
they We're living, was Amateur Theat-
ricals. The Dramatic Club was care
fully selected from the Inner Circle of
the Finger-Bowl Set and whether they
could Act or not it was always a Sat
isfaction to know that they could rub
up against the toney SkiIligans and the
Hifaluting Wrinkles.
Two or three times every Season the
Club gave a Show at the local Temple
of Art. After all Expenses had been
paid, the Net Proceeds, which was

retain your cosy seat and let them
come to you at random?
Perhaps the first sensation is that of
being silently waited back to the days
Of the first empire. All about you are
Napoleon's torches, garlands of
wreaths of victory. They stand out in
relief, from over the proscenium arch,
and are repeated in the chandeliers,
candelabra, panels, hangings, and. in
deed, whatever the possibilities of the
scheme permit. The back of each
chair bears, in silken design, the Ma
poleonic equally appropriate for
the Belascoan conquests, which owe
their present proportions to the Skill
genius and bee-like activity Of their
originator.

The ladies reception rooms are tbre,

The ladies reception rooms are three
one for each balcony and one for the
main floor. This last is Mr.. Belasco's
the spot where now is a bright, dainty,
spacious room, an exact copy in finish
and design of the private boudoir of
Marie Antoinette. Here in her own
apartment, my LADY, may find all the
comforts and many of the luxuries
dear to the feminine heart. The maids
in attendance will be in her personal
service for the time being; she will be
the guest of honor in her own house.

that could have been inspired only by
Belasco. This theater literally gives
voice to his ideals Of what a theater
should be- 1t is tuned with the mind
Of the man-quiet, gentle, modest.
You feel there is harmony in the work
ing out of each smallest detail; that
the artistic whole by it's simplicity,
gives sensitive expression to the per-
feet understanding with which, as he
has so lately demonstrated in Mrs.
Leslie Carriers "Du Barry" production,
Mr.. Belasco measures and supplies the
tastes Of his public.
Of the conveniences for personal
comfort word will serve. They are
such as might be found In your own
home. A special telephone and mes
senger call will be at the free disposal
of the theaters patrons. The gen.
tlemen's smoking room will be found to
resemble well appointed library, with
comfortable furnishings and a full sup
ply of current literature.

scarcely find parallel in any play

Work to Be Admired.
You feel that Messrs. Bigelow, Wal
lis & Cotton, the architects of Belasco
theater, have achieved a result, not
only in fashioning this playhouse, but
in reproducing with sympathy and
symmetry, the delicate artistic forms
to which the Empire gave birth. Not
less do you admire the expert achieve
ment of Rudolph Allen, who as decora-
tor, has so successfully taken up the
task where the architects left it, has
worked out the scheme of color and de-
sign, and with it all has felt aloof from
gaudy effects. He seems to have alb
sorbed perfectly the Belasco spirit;
whichever way you turn, the touch Of
the master is upon everything. Here,
there, everywhere, you note the effects

quiet scene so artistically woven into
the fabric.
AS you look about the house your
eye picks them out again, one by
one. The reds are seen in the boxes,
of which there are four each on the
orchestra and first balcony floors, and
two on the second balcony. Then, as
to give a personal touch, MIR. Belasco
has used Mrs. Carriers favorite shade
of Rose du Barry in the deliberately
embroidered draperies within, between
and in front of the boxes.
Greens of Autumn.
The greens of autumn begin on the
main floor. The heavy velvet carpet
is of the shade Of grass, blending at
tractively with the seats, which are
richly upholstered silken tapestry of
silver green. And these Seats by the
way, call for more than passing notice.

Estimates of Him Generally Follow

 Paris, Sept 30.-The newspapers this morning devote the greater portion of their space to the death of M Zola.
 The only new fact recorded is the re- suit of the analysis of the blood of M. and Mime. Zola, which shows the pres ence Of carbonic acid.
 Estimates of the deceased novelist generally follow party lines, even in the judgment of his literary work, although most of the newspapers agree that he was one of the glories of French liter ature.
 The Figaro says: With Zola disap- pears the last of our great writers of yesterday; who will replace them?"
 The Gaulois says: ''Zola dies With- out having had time to recognize and regret the wrong he did France"
 The Libre Parole publishes the fol- lowing:
 ''The insultor of our flag dies at the hour when the anti-patriotic campaign, to which he brought his criminal sup port, begins to bear it's fruit of ruin and shame"
 The first page of the Aurore appears in mourning. This paper says that his tory will certainly glor1ty M. Zola as the great artisan of the revision of the Dreyfus trial. ''Zola is dead! Long live Zola."

 Scranton, Pa, Sept. 29.-In remark able contrast to last Monday and the Monday previous to-day was wholly free from disturbances. Up to late hour tonight not single act of cio- lence worthy of note has been reported.
 Sheridan troop of Tyrone, with sixty men, arrived to-day. Tonight the cav- airy went up the valley to patrol the more distant localities where violence has been wont to occur. When the third battalion of the Eighth regiment comes tomorrow to patrol the lower end of the valley there will be twenty two companies of infantry and one troop of cavalry in all, about 1900 men encamped in Laekawanna county.
 The United Mine Workers leaders claim the non-union men are deserting the companies and applying for admit tance or re-admission as the case may be, to the union.
 The leaders say this is due to the dis like men have for working under guard of militiamen. The companies admit there have been some assertions by workmen during the past week, but at- tribute them to the wholesale lawless- ness which has recently prevailed.

STUDENTS FREAKS AND THE
 LAW

With the reopening of colleges and universities come announcements Of class rivalries and doings. The story of the performances of the freshman class at Hobart, told in the columns of this paper yesterday, is typical of what may be heard from other institutions. The freshmen captured the sophomore president and did things to him. Among other performances he was com pelled to paint the freshman numerals on the lighthouse at the end of the pier at Geneva. Apparently it did not occur to these boys that they were mutilating public property,
 The disposition to deface and destroy public and private property is one Of the most exasperating phases Of these class antics. A rural cemetery not far rom Rochester was invaded some months ago and several gravestones were overturned and injured. Inquiry disclosed the fact that the mischief was done by students from a neighboring seminary who were out on lark. The damages were repaired and the matter was hushed up; but had certain other monuments in that cemetery received the attention of the young ghouls there is reason to believe the latter would have felt the severity of the law. It is to be hoped that the mistaken leniency so commonly shown to these school and college roysterers who carry their fun to a criminal extant will be succeeded by stern enforcement of the law in future cases. It would be a. bitter les son for the offenders, and unpleasant to their families: but the public is entitled to protection from the wanton, silly and destructive acts of which many students are often guilty. In the long run it would be good thing for the guilty parties themselves.
 Lawlessness in colleges and semina- ries encourages and stimulates the spir- l it of lawlessness among the people at large That spirit is already danger ous one in this country. It breaks out upon the most frivolous pretexts. A strike, dastardly crime, even an una voidable accident, is made the occasion | for exciting the populace to mob vio- lence, throwing entire communities into turmoil and terror, and defying both l the police and the courts.
 Parents who have sons. in seminaries, colleges and universities should instruct them perempt orily to keep cleaSsof all student performances which threaten injury to the persons of other students [ or of citizens, or tend to the disturbance of the peace. The boys are entitled to all the innocent diversion and fun they can get out of their life at school, but they should not be permitted to violate law or trespass upon the rights of oth- ers:-Rochester Democrat and Chroni- cle.

PETITIONS WILL DO NO GOOD.
Coal Operator Marile Says They Wiu
 Only PrOIong Strike.

New York Sept 29.-John Markle, the coal operator, discussing to-day the statement of President Mitchell pub 1ished this morning, said: MT. Mitch ell is not voicing the sentiment of the majority of the miners in the anthra- cite coal fields when he says the senti- ment of the miners is against return ing to work. All his statements have been refuted by the facts already given out by the operators"
 ''But what is New York to do for coal?" he was asked.
 If a condition of anarchy eristed in New York what would you want? You would want the troops called out and protection afforded you,' said MT. Mar kle. ''That is what we want Give us protection and we will give you all the coal you want
 Asked whether the influence of the Catholic societies and other societies would have any effect in changing the policy of the operators, MT. Markle said:
 "On the contrary, their endeavors will have but one tendency-to prolong the strike. The well-meant efforts of these philanthropic people will only inspire the miners with hope and induce them to hold out a little while longer. to their own detriment. They will only pro- tract the period of coal scarcity. Mr. Mitchell's. Organization will not be rec ognized under any circumstances
 There is still no fixed price for coal in New York. Some dealers were sell iner ar1thra cite at StS a ton to-dav uhiIa others were selling as low as $14 and $15. The price generally asked for soft coal was $9 ton.

FOR GENERAL CONFERENCE.
Detroit Sends Ont InvitatiOns-TO Dis-
 cuss Coal Question.


 Detroit, Mich, Sept 29.-Steps were taken tonight by the special committee of the common council appointed for the purpose, for the holding of a con- ference in this city October 9 of citizens from all parts of the country to discuss ways and means of securing supply of anthracite coal. Invitations were sent out tonight by telegraph to the gov ernors of all states in the east, middle west and northwest, and the mayors of the principal cities in these states to send delegations to the conference which it is hoped will have sufficient ef- feet to bring about some settlement of the strike. To-night's action followed the action of the common council last Friday in adopting resolution provid- ing for the appointment of a special committee to call and arrange for na- tional conference on the coal strike. The committee met tonight with Mayor Maybury and large number of citizens in the council chamber and after a gen. eral discussion of the coal situation de- cided on October g as the date for the proposed conference. The necessity for haste. was realized and it was decided to telegraph invitations to the various governors and mayors of principal cit ies The Associated Press was request ed to announce that the invitation was meant for the country at large, it being manifestly impossible to telegraph to every point. Telegrams were sent to the governors of the following states: Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wis consin, Minnesota. Missouri, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland Iowa, Massachusetts, Rhode Island New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Connecti- cut, and New Jersey
