Matters at this point was settled sat-
isfactorfly.
When Mrs. Postlethwaite heard of
the new arrangement she informed her
daughter that an npardonable breach
OF etiquette had been committed. and
mat So 1.-THE daughter) must go to the
Nhle House, as such an Invitation,
however informal. was always a COM
mand in the face of which every other
social obligation should be abandoned
The young lady went Mrs. Pos
tlethwaite met her daughter's guests
with the announcement that she would
nave to preside in place of Miss Car
olyn, as the latter mad been summon
ed to the White House.
None of the young ladies, of equal
social standing with the daughter of
the house. was aware of any function
at the White House. Many of them
were much disappointed at the disap-
pearance of their young hostess, and
the affair, trifiing as it is, may lead
TO reorganization of the etiquette
governing White House invitations.
Miss Roosevelt. as we'll as the Pres
ident and Mrs. Roosevelt, is very care
full about such impromptu invitations
since the unhappy occasion last year
when NJ. Jules Cambon, the French
ambassador, felt called upon to desert
dinner party in honor of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh because of a
belated invitation to the White House.
On this occasion NJ. Cambon was call
ed away almost as his guests were ar
irving.
This incident has caused the Roose-
velts to be careful not to interfere
with previous arrangements, and they
have over and over again expressed
the desire that people hastily invited
would inform them if any previous OBJ
legation had been undertaken. Wash
ington folks, however, cannot be
taught to see matters in this light.
Mrs. Postlethwaite is the widow OF
the Rev. William NJ. Postlethwaite
who was appointed by President Ar
thur a chaplain at West Point before
he had been naturalized as an Ameri-
can citizen. She was Miss Sallie Ell
lis of New York city, and possesses a
large fortune"

Two Views of a White House Invita-.
ton.

There is a new disturbance in To-
cal society,"" says a Washington spe-
cial to the New York World. Recent
ly an impromptu girls party given by
Alice Roosevelt caused a debutante
belle to desere her specially invited
guests and appear as by summons,
at the White House. Miss Roosevelt
is not involved in the muddle, but the
incident illustrates the strange light
in which society women regard invita-
lions to the White House.
Miss Carolyn Postlethwaite, daugh-
ter of Mrs William NJ. Postlethwaite,
invited eighteen debutantes and as
many young men to celebrate her
brilliant debut at a dinner last Satur-
day. That afternoon Miss Roosevelt
ascertained that her father and mother
were going to the theater and that
she would have a free evening. There
upon she invited a number of school
girl friends to the White House that
evening for an old-time dormitory
marty. One of these was Miss Car
/ olyn Postlethwaite.
Mrs. Postlethwaite took the tele-
nhone message and accepted in her
| daughters name, Notwithstanding the
fact that her daughter was to be the
hostess at the dinner at her Owl
\ house. .s
I'm some way Miss Roosevelt heard
Of the dinner, and drove to the Pos
tlethwaite residence. saw Miss caro-
Ivn and EXPLAINS that under no cir
cumstances would she think OF inter
fering with her dinner programme

AT THE THEATER

The Mabel Paige Company will pre-
sent ''Triss'' at the matinee to-day. To-
night the presentation will be Under
Two Flags" The company will con-
clude its engagement Monday evening,
when it will put on the melodrama
Jesse James," a story of the wild
and wolly' West, in the days the ia
nous outlaw made his generally bad
name. "a Brothers Sin" was played
before a good sized house last night.
The sale of seats for Sherlock
Holmes to be given it's initial presen-
tation in Savannah next Tuesday night
will open this morning at 9 o'clock.
The prices are, orchestra $3.50 and 81
balcony, 81, as cents and so cents. There
is a good deal of interest among thea
ter-goers in the production. In writing
the play Sherlock Holmes" William
Gillette appropriated portions of all
the Conan Doyle stories. The series is
famous and has made the name of
their hero synonymous with rare de-
tective zeal. Out of the series of ex-
citing tales, he has taken three or four
CHdIdCltIS anu lHS 6GItIdl atmospheric
of excitement and adventure, and
around these he has woven an entirely
original story, Disgusting the inpossi-
Bile and commonplace with an atmos-
phere of romance and probability and
rounding the whole thing up into a
play of intense interest and excitement.
The central interest covers the strug-
gle between the detective and a gang
of blackmailers to recover certain let
ters which compromise royal person
age, together with Holmes love for
Miss Faulkner, the young woman who
has the papers in her possession. The
great success of Sherlock Holmes as
a play is current theatrical history.
That it is now being played by Her.
bert Kelley and Effie Shannon, two of
the most expert delineators of the
higher drama, is fact worthy of more
than passing comment. Mr.. Kelley and
Miss Shannon will be seen in the play
here.
Next Thursday, Otis Skinner will be
seen in 'Lazarre." The Skinner
Boucicault dramatization of Mrs. Cath
erwood's story promises to provide for
Mr.. Skinner, the material for the most
successful season of his career. The
theatre-goers of neighboring cities,
among whom MIR. Skinner has been
playing for the past few weeks, are
high in their commentator for the new
piece. 1t is claimed to be the best of
the book plays, and in the hands of
a competent company of actors. The
subject of Mrs. Catherwood's romance
the lost Dauphin and his supposed dis
covery among the Indians of Wisconsin
makes a fascinating theme for the
dramatist, and two such skillful artists
as Mr.. Skinner, and Aubrey Boucicault,
his colaborer in the dramatization, have
taken advantage of all it's possibilities.

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1903-06-26
Length of Hoa,s IntestInes.

Darwin states that the nature Of the
food supplied the pig by man has evil
IDENTIFY changed the length of the intes-
tines. He quotes Cuvier as reporting
the total length Of the intestines Of the
wild boar to be nine times the body
length; in the domestic boar 1876 to
1; in the Siam boar, 16 to 1. The writer
measured the intestines of thirty-nine
fattened hogs and found that the large
intestine varied from IS to is feet,
and tho small intestine from "a to 60
feet in length. The average exteme
body length of these animals was 3.6
feet. This makes the small intestine
alone from 16 to 10 times the length
Of the body, and the large and small
intestines combined about q times the
body length. From these figures 1t
appears that the intestines Of pigs Of
the improved breeds are longer in
proportion to the body than those
given by Cuvier. This may indicate
that the modern pig can digest his
food more thoroughly than his ances-
tors, and also that he can eat larger
quantity Of food in . given Tina
