TO DEFY STATE LAWS.
Syndicate Plans to Evade Anti-Pool
 Selling Statutes

New Orleans. Feb. 27.-A special to The Ilmes-Democrat from New York says:
 Plans are being perfected by a big syndicate In which wealthy New Workers figure as tbA financial packers, for the formation oP a cor Poration that is expected to put anti-pool sell ing laws at defiance and carry on a general business in this and other cities by means of wnicn wagers can be openly made on horse i,S. es .o any amount and without fear of po- lice interference.
 The men back of the movement nlan to do pusihess as an insurance company and tn nave the full benelt and protection of the in rance laws Instead of invading the field oi insurance, life property, they will tns,,re t'ieSs 10 VIII or not win certain races in which they entered " ~
 regular policies are to be issued, which in enect will be pool tickets. but on the facs teehhlcal policies of insurance instead of a Slip covering a wager
 The wide scope of Lloyds. in London. which Will practically take q wager on anvtbin- "here chance is n possible factor Is said to nave given the gamblers their idea.

Once organized asencics ,,iu l. opened In all the States where it is nosslbia Tor the insurance company to get inc reo,,i site permission. Several well known PhiIa ue,phla lawyers have been approached on the subject, and asked whether it were nossibI. for such a corporation to do business In th,s Htaie. The greatest efforts are being maao to keep the plans of the syndicate a secret uhtiI all Is in readiness to apply for a charter
 It Is said. however, that the men back of tha scheme can finance 1t to the extent of mil lions, if necessary
 Former Senator Charles L. Brown admitted that ne had been asked 10 give an opinion on the feasibility of such q style of insurance Whilo he declined to discuss the identity of those back of the scheme. he said:

Ladies Who Are Devoted
 to the Outdoor Life.

For hsr gifts of health and beauty na- ture has her price. One might speak of than as ons gift, for without health there ss TO beauty. The prics nature exa ;ts for her gift of hsalth and beauty is outdoor lite The woman who depriyos herself of the pure ether dies by inches. First the ciogRed blood DDS circulating in her body. Then she becomes subject to rheu- matism and colds Her muscles lose their tone: they sink. They pr asently bulge out v hare they should stay in and hollow in where they should stay plump.
 Next the womans face sBhriyels, wrin- kles and becomes nabby and leathery. She takes to hannels and tea, perhaps something stronger. When she has reach ed the age of 40, her friends say. 'Jane Ann is getting old." and she begins to agree with them sn her mind, and that Is the end of her. The woman may stay in this world thirty or even forty years yet, but she Is practically dead, very dead.
 It is our artificial life that destroys wo- mans health and good looks. Life within doors atropbies our sight and hearing, bluuts even the sense of smell. Fire and furnace heat are really no heat at all for the human body. It should be kept warm by the soul within. This beautiful soul is able to brave all weathers. and the more it Is permitted to breathe that air which contains its life essence the more tts transcendent beauty will be reflected in the body. It is the breath that makes us living souls. That civilization which keeps us away from the pure air stunts and starves us out of the best part of our lives.
 On women especially the life within walls. which is the life of the vault and cellar, works disaster They are the moth- CTS of the race. present and to be. There never will be perfect race till 1t begins to be perfect physically. That it never can become till its women spend con siderable portion of their time outdoors. Here and there in history few famous women have shown what Is possible to all the sex by retaining their youthful looks and activity to old age. There Is now liv- Eng in England a woman of the nobility who is % years old. yet 1t is said nobody fo look at her would guess her to be more than 30. If that were not true, as St probably Is not, and If this old grand dame looked fully 50. even that would be Mttis less than a miracle from our dis

The Four Cohans Tuesday.

The Four Cohans ani their big com pany. under the direction of Fred Nlolo in George NJ. Cohan's musical comedy, ."Tne Governors Son. will be produced at the Montgomery Theatre Tuesday night.
 This production, which has caused un- limited comment in the theatrical world has been frightened for the occasion, and will be seen to better advantage than over, although no ''re-embellishing" was needed.
 Among the new musical numbers are two very catchy and clever numbers from George sCohan's fertile mind. Yankee Doodle Doings." 'I Love You All Then 'T'd be Satisfied With Life" and The Soldiers of the Stage" Several of the odd favorites, among them "A Regular Sherlock. Holmes" Lucy" "The Moon Song" Never Breathe Word of This to Mother" will also be heard. The very gorgeous scenery of the past sea- son has been duplicated. as 1t was one of the costliest settings ever placed on any stage. New costumes will be worn and will su:-)ass the efforts of the most sanguine producers.
 This talented family of farceurs have rapidly forged to the front in the legit- imate. They were the king pins of vaudeville and were even beyond that. In the respective characters they play they could not be bettered. They are versatile and full of magnetism. Their future is one that will be watched with interest and envy by other stirring lyric artists.
 The supporting company Is superb. and the cast in it's entirety includes Jerry J. Conan, Helen F. Conan, George NJ Co., han, Elizabeth Woodson. Ethel Levey. Will H. Sloan Gertrude Rutledge, James Manning. William Keough. M. J. sulli- van, Hugh Mack. Peter R. Randall Chas. J. Gebest. James German, Willta m Byles, John Lacy. Charles Hoffman.

 No less a person than the great Italian tragcdlenne. Mime. Eleonora Duse, con- slders Eleanor Robson as being one of the most accomplished actresses she has seen during her stay in America,
 When Miss Robson appeared as "Au- drey" at the Madison Square Theatre in New York. Mme. Duse telegraphed Miss Robson from Chicago to this effect: When I return to New York, ] hope yCu will come to make me visit hope also to hear you play. Meanwhile l wish you great success as Audrey"
 This was only one of the compliments showered on little Mss Robson by the great Italian actress.
 To an interviewer in Chicago, Duse said that she considered Miss Robson pos sessed the clements of very great act ress. and on the opening night of Aud rey" in New York there was discovered In the lobby of the Madison Square The atre huge basket of American Beauty roses. bearing card with Eleanora Duse's name written on 1t. That Miss Robson was worthy of the good wishes and admiration of SD great an actress was proved by her success in the role of Audrey"

 II Is not often that William Winter. the dean of American critics. euthuses over 2 new performer.

NEW TELEGRAPH COMPANY.
Independent Line Between Chicago
 and St. Louis.

anu OI. LOUIS.
 New Orleans. Feb. 27.-A special to The Times Democrat from Chicago says:
 The Independent Telegraph Company, which was organized by the Orthweins of St. Louis, is now a fact. We will have a line between Chicago and St. Louis in operation within six months. Some of the contracts have been let and work has commenced" said F. E. Crawford. Sec retary and Treasurer of the Chicago and Milwaukee Telegraph Company which is included in the combination. A few weeks ago it was announced that the Orthweins had options on Chicago and Milwaukee Cempany's wires, as well as the lines of the National Telegraph News Company. The options. although not closed. are practically so and the 5000, 900 company is now an assured fact. The Chicago and Milwaukee Telegraph Com pany has been in operation since 1878. and is now doing about 80 per cent of the Board of Trade business between those two cities. In considering that the pres ent rates between Chicago and Milwau- kee are twice those of the Western Union and Postal companies. 1t Is deemed un- usual that the bulk of the trafflc should he handled by that route. However. that is explained by MT. Crawford.
 "Thc present subscribers know that we are handling the business at the lowest money making rate, and that if we are not allowed to do the work the old com panies would increase the rates to double what we are now charging"
 Representatives of the Chicago compa- nies are now in St. Louis closing the deals necessary to complete the corporation, and it sexpected that the plans will he made public by Saturday. w. R. Stew art, Vice President of the Chicago and Milwaukee Telegraph Company. con frmed all that had been said by MT. Crawford. but deemed it inadvisable to speak of the plans of the new company. as 1t was a St. Louis project, and the Chicago end is of subsidiary concern.

Lost River in Southern Indiana. flows near to the fashiona blc West Baden Springs, where cultured folk gather to reeuperate. They arc in strong contrast to tho native characters who live their lives in the narrow confines of Lost River Valley. Characters from both classes are drawn by Joseph Arthur in his scenic melodrama. Lost River" which had a phenomenal success in New York City during an extended run of six months
 The author has devised many unique mechanical effects which are used in the thrilling bicycle ride and the effective pursuit of the heroine on horseback.
 There are excellent mecha anical effects. three thoroughbred horses. a herd of sheep, a quartet of hoboes. country 'orchestry' and a series of wildly ex- citing scenes mingled with the charming love story. which is the chief theme of Lost River while the scenery is the most elaborate and costly which play of this class has ever been invested with.
