Jessie Norton to Appear at the
Orpheum Tom orrow.

The Ellefords, who have, on the face
c. their receipts, controverted the i'm
preston that these are hard times,
have taken a fresh grip on popularity
by the arrival of NJ. j. Ellefor6 and
Jessie Norton, who will play W, ne
company during the remainder of the
enga cement.
Some of the strongest bills have been
reserved pending their arrival and The
announcement of Jessie Norton's ap-
pearance tomorrow evening in Lost In
New York will bring many to the
house. She is an actress who possesses
rare sympathetic powers aside from the
roIlicking jollity with which she invests
her brighter roles and which have made
her such a favorite in California
She is a singer as well as actress and
her specialties, with those of Miss Sell
wyn and Boardman will invest the

musical comedies. Miss Norton brings
many popular and new songs yet un-

gests full of heart interest, OF human
nature, of well drawn characters with
all the tragedy and comedy of any
story dealing with the big metropolis.
1t Will doubtless bring a crowded house
tomorrow night.

Irreverent reporters call it a grave
yard. In reality it is library. But
it is conducted on an entirely different
principle than are the rooms, filled
with books. which are ordinarily known
as libraries The above illustration
shows but one small corner OF the
library of the Advertiser.
And the principle on which it is run?
To the newspaper man 1t is very sim
pIe-only a question Of gathering a
mass OF information on every con-
ceivable subject, carefully classifying
it. and then slowing it away in care
fully fndexed envelopes in the many
boxes and pigeon holes arranged
around the room But the outsider is
lost on entering it. He asks the Ii
brarian, for instance:
~Can You give me any matter con-
corning General Nelson A Miles?'
The man who runs the library sim
NV goes to his index. The index gives
him the number OF an envelope in

takes out an envelope crammed with

the gun was entirely by accident. Young
Talbot had been Ill and was out In the
yard about the house watching for hawk.
He passed in and out of the house several
times and the third time he went in he sat
down to read, placing his gun In a book
rack on the side of the wall. When he saw
the hawk swoop down on the ground he
grabbed the gun and in his haste ii was
discharged, the young man receiving the
full contents of the load In his forehead.

LONDON. December 18. 1903
The suddenly called meeting OF the Brit
ish cabinet on Monday was. I am informed.
on account Of the situation In the far east.
Russia Is in the act Of climbing down from
the position she lately assumed and the
feeling in official circles is that the strain
has been sensibly relieved.
There were two ugly incidents last week
which made the prospect darker, and which
were the subject of official scrutiny alike
In London and in Paris. The first was
the report that Russian warships were
menacing the government OF Corea; that
M. Pavloff and the Russian admiral, forti-
fed by the presence of four vessels Of the
fleet. were seeking to dictate the policy
to be pursued at Yong-ampho. and that
there was threat to land 5000 men to
march on Seoul. 1t is a sign of the grav-
ity that attaches. In the view of the best
informed circles here. to the diplomatic
situation in the far east that this story
when telegraphed from Toxic was not set
aside as Incredible.
When there are headstrong agents at the
front and weak government at the center
OF affairs anything is possible. The Che
mulphO report was therefore regarded for
the moment as a most menacing cloud.
But 1t has been disposed of by semi
omeiai denial from ST. Petersburg. denial
which proves that, whatever NJ. Pavloff
may have intended, the power behind him
has decreed that In this instance, at any
rate. he shall not have too much rope The
second untoward occurrence was the erup-
ton OF popular feeling at Toxic. But on
Saturday last there was, 1 believe. official
knowledge here that this incident had not
acted to the prejudice of the negotiations;
that II its influence was traceabIe at all 1t
told for peace. So, in the teeth of the
alarms of last week, the feeling today in
ministerial quarters 10 that the prospects
OF peace are distinctly brighter. and that
the Christmas season of good will is not
likely to be disturbed by an outbreak Of
war.
