Money in His Lea.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 man who walked with decided limp moved around the sale ring at the blue ribbon sale at Glenville yesterday after noon watching all the horses sold, but paying particular attention to the trotting teams of which a number were sold late in the afternoon. After sizing all the consingnments up he finally bid in a pair at $370 and then made his way to the cashiers office to pay for them. After giving his name and address he asked the cashier to wait for moment uritii he secured the money The cashier expected to see him fish out checkbood and then go chasing for some one to identify him. as he was 9 stranger to the people in the sales office.
 But this man carried his bank right with him. and after asking the cashier to excuse him for moment. walked over to a chair and sat down, then calmly rolled up his trousers leg to the knee and care fully unscrewed a wooden leg. and. much to the wonderment of the onlookers, ex- tracted large roll of bills from a hid den cavity in the artificial walking in- strument and after screwing on the leg again walked up and paid the ss70 as though getting the money out of his wooden leg was an everyday occurrence

EAST LAKE CASINO WILL
 OPEN TOMORROW NIGHT

The summer theatrical season at East Lake will start tomorrow night when the East Lake Casino will be opened with the Wells, Dunne and Harlan Dixie Troubadours as the attraction for the first week
 There will be performances each even ing at s:45 O clock. and there will be pop ular matinees on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons at o'clock. The Bliou scale of prices will prevail
 The summer theatre Is as complete and attractive as any in this section of the country. Skilled mechanics have wrought a wonderful change in the place. There Is more seating capacity and the seats are more comfortable. There is also more stage loom. permitting experts to make attractive stage settings. The sides of the play house have been left open, allow ing cool breezes from the lake to cir culate throughout the building; and a roof has been constructed over head to shield the people from the night dews or falling rain.
 The opening attraction is high class | The Dixie Troubadours-' scored a hit when seen here at the Biiou some time ago. The Flight English Girls Gertrude Hoffman and Etta Pearce the Yankee | Comedy Four Gilrey and Waz. and the other members became deservedly pop ular during the engagement of the organ zation here before, and will certainly get hearty reception when they appear tomorrow night
 The performance will not be the same presented before. The curtain goes mp on "A Trip to Paris one act musical comedy arranged by Max Hoffman for the Biiou musical Comedy company two seasons ago. It will introduce the funny Otto Brothers. as pair of Dutehmen, who have fooled their wives with a story of business out west demanding atten- tion, but instead they go to the Paris exposition where they just miss their wives who have taken advantage of the absence of the masters" to have a lark. The little plot is quite interesting, and the skit permits introduction of number or decidedly entertaining specialtes. | The other skit will be next introduce ed. This is funny affair arranged for this company by Otis Harlan. He named | t "Weinerwurst Inn because that name seemed to fit This sketch will also al- low the members of the organize ton op- portunity to do comedy sketches and dance.
 The Flight English Girls" will offer as novelty "The Radium Dance" It will he necessary that the theatre be completely dark and if such an effect can be produced. the Birmingham people will witness one of the weirdest novelties known to stage craft.
 Already there has been a demand for seats beyond expectations All of the boxes have been engaged, and many of the loge seats hove been sold. while blocks of orchestra chars have been called for. The street railway company will also in- augurate a fine service. The theatre will be in charge of some of the attaches who have won friends at the Bijou. o. A. Neal will be Mir.

NEW QUESTION IS RAISED
BY HENRY pEvEREAux.

London, May 2l.--Interest in the eastern situation is keen. News as to the pro gress of the Japs or Russians is much de- sired, but of reliable news there is great scarcity The position of neutrals in regard to belligerents has always been a fruitful subject to dispute Wireless telegraphy has only lately been invented. But I think that the Russians are right in forbidding the presence of neutral yes sels within the area of hostile operations on the sea, whose object it is to transmit what they can observe of the operations of one or other of the belligerents' u some neutral port by wireless telegrapny' from whence it would reach the other bolligerent. This seems to me only req sonable, for the aim of a belligerent must often be to keep secret from the other the position of it's ships and such-like ln- formation

From Everybody's Magazine for June.
 Charles Gates is a copy Of hls pro digious father, the plunger in railway and industrial stocks, the man who once forced MT. Morgan to buy at his own price. The father frequently de- clared that he would rather teach his son the mastery of poker than send him to college. This view of the straightest means to an end had at least the merit of simple candor. The young man is now his fathers repre- sentative, and manages the family en- terprises on the floor of the stock ex- change. He is perhaps as yet too much interested in the casual pleas ures offered by his wealth to take pro- found interest in building an impreg- nable social position. But there is no question that if the idea ever seizes
