Kate Condor, the new prima donna con-
tralto, also remained out of the cast In
order to celebrate Christmas and her part
was taken by Marie Whiting, who was
hardly equal to il. The role of ALBANIA
Dale must be played by a graceful actress
as well as a thoroughly trained vocalist,
Whiting filled the part as it should be
filled.
The veterans of the organization who did
feel disposed TO honor the Christmas after
noon audience by taking part in the presen-
tation addressed themselves TO their work
with an energy and enthusiasm that aided
greatly in holding the Interpretation of the
opera up to something like the old-time

Macdonald and Miss Condor will be in
the cast. better presentation will prob
ably be given.

A nice way to prepare sweet potatoes to
serve with roast chicken is to first boil
them, then let them get cold. When ready
to cook them first peel, then cut the po-
tatoes in slices about half an inch in
thickness. Put a layer of the slices in a
baking dish, then some little Jumps of
butter; season with salt and very little
red pepper; then put on another layer of
the sliced potatoes then the butter and
seasoning. Continue this process till the
dish is full. then cover the top with fine
bread crumbs, over which put some pats
of butter. Stand the dish in rather a
quick oven and bake till a rich brown over
the top and serve.

the smaller cities and towns of the coun-
try cannot go TO the theater every time

force the smaller towns to fill houses three
or four nights a week. The burlesque cir
cult is made up of thirty-seven theaters.
This circuit-the profession calls it the

The GIorified Safety Pin.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
The automobile pins of the day ought to
delight the hearts of all women who can
have the slightest excuse for wearing one.
They are such bouncing big affairs that
there probably never was q time since
women have been wearing garments into
which it was possible to put a pin that
anything like them has been seen. They
are of the order of safety pin, but GER
tainly a quarter of a yard long, with one
small ornament in the center of the upper
snake on another, and a couple of tiny winks
on another. They cost different prices ac-
cording to the shops from which they
come and the quality.

Feminine Criticism.

New York Weekly.
Camille Saint-Saens, the eminent French
composer, is as interested in current criti-
cism and in the work of his contemporaries
as he is in his own music.
He was talking recently with a young
woman who had just been to the first re-
cital of a young pianist whose talents had
had much preliminary advertising The
young woman spoke enthusiastically of the
pianist's good looks, his clothes, his way of
of acknowledging applause. Saint-Saens
listened patiently until she stopped a mo-
ment for breath.
''Um," he commented, thoughtfully, land
did you notice anything about his play
ing?"

Painting the Pickles.

The Connecticut state experiment sta
ton, in recent report, declares that only
one of eighteen samples of sweet pickles
cucumbers and other vegetables examined
was free from glucose. saccharn or chem
ical preservatives. Most of the pickles
contained small quantities OF alumina and
sulphurc acid and one sample was
"greened" by the use of copper. The major
ity of carbonated nonalcoholic beverages
and fruit fiavors, OF which 2l1 samples were
examined, were found to be adulterat ted
either by the use of coal tar dyes or added
preservatives.
One-third OF all the lard examined, repre-
senting l6s lots, was found to be aduiter-
ated. One-third OF twenty-one samples of
fancy cheese was found TO contain borax
to prevent decomposition. All of six brands
of Maraschino cherries contained coal tar
dyes. Coffee and spices show a decrease
in authorizations compared with previous
years.

CHARGED WITH ARSON.

Two Men Arrested for Starting coney
Island Fire.
New York, Nov. ~4.--Fourtoen solid
blocks of buildings in ruins, one life
lost, two score persons injured, 500 per-
sons homeless and a financial loss Of
$l,5OO,000 is the outcome of an elleged
drunken freak which resulted in a fire
at Coney Island yesterday.
Frank Connolly, 81; Peter Shelley, IS
years old, former walters in the Alba
tross hotel n locked up charged with
arson on the strength of a statement
made by Barney Wolf, proprietor of
the Raines Law hotel at the island.
Wolf says that on Friday night Con-
molly and Shelley. in the presence of a
crowd, said things We're getting dull on
the island and they believed they would
liven the place up with a fire.
Saw Them Start Fire.
Wolf says he saw them start a fire,
which he put out. Again yesterday he
asserts they started a second fire, but
he arrived just as the flames shot up,
but he was unable to control them, as
he had done on Friday. and he gave the
alarm. When he saw his own place
burn and heard his brother-in-law, Al
bert Rubin, had his skull fractured by
leaping from a window to save him
self, he told the police of the Connolly
and Skelley deed.
The story Of the alleged incendiarism
was all over the island while the fire
burned, and the feeling against Con-
molly and Shelley ran high.
Today there is a great scarcity of
food on the island and hundreds are
life. Lizzie Stein, aged 6, was killed in
he fire.

CUBAN CONGRESS OPENS
The Regular Session Just Opened
Presidents Palma's Messane-

.E FNNlml
Havana, Nov. 4.--The regular session
Of congress opened yesterday. Recon-
mendations in the message Of Presi-
dent Palma are chiefly Of a general
character. The much discussed loan
taxes are not gone into at length, and
no amendment to the loan law is sug-
gested. The president promises a spe-
cial message with reference to the ne
gotiations of the loan commissioners
who went to New York, who, the mes
sage says, are certain that the loan can
be obtained in the United States.
Continuing, the message assures
congress of the presidents zeal in car
rying out the payment Of the revolu-
tionary army, and Senior Palma. denies
persons whom he terms certain tur-
bulent spirits"
Referring to the relations between
Cuba and the United States the mes
sage says:
Our political relations with the
United States have been definitely set
tied by treaties founded on the terms
ST the constitutional appendix, and the
latter could not be eliminated from the
constitution by the mere reading Of
hese treaties. Congress can appreci-
ate that within the precise terms Of
the Plat amendment Cuba has OBJ
tanned no few advantages"
Continuing, President Palma says:
The Hon. President Roosevelt, to
whom the people of Cuba feel such
profound gratitude, has been faithful
to his word and has convened the
American congress in special session
for the purpose of taking action on the
pending reciprocity treaty, from which
we hope to receive so great benefits;
trustworthy information has been re-
Eeeived by the executive which war
rants the belief that this treaty will be
ratified"
The balance in the treasury on No
vember l was s3,843,0 900, and the sur
plus accumulated during the last seven
months was $1,205, 900.
