rotary for the international commit

associations in developing the relig-

think that Smith has today no equal
as public speaker.
The convention hatl for its guest Il
woman who is noted for her philan-
thropy. who has already given over a
half million dollars for association
work. If Miss Helen NJ. Gould were
the president of the United States
she could not have gotten greater
demonstration than that which was
accorded her at Convention hall. 1t
was apparent that she was trying to
dodge the outburst. but, as police

dent Mcfarland called for n rising
vote of thanks to Miss Gould. Every
man stood up. but one, and he had no

the room. \ clamor was on to shake
hands with their idol, and Miss Gould
graciously submitted to the inevitable.

Christian associations will always be

question of Relationship was settled
The relation existing between the 10
cal associations and the two super
visory agencies, the state ard interna-
tional committees. has for years been
a matter of disagreement. At this
convention the question was debated
thoroughly and finally settled by the
convention in way satisfactory to
all concerned. The debate was char
acterized by christian courtesy and
absolute fairness. Strong men had
deep convictions on the matter, but
after continued discussion the points
of contention were amicably adjusted.
Christian gentlemen here showed the
virtue of sacrifice and unselfishness.
1t was real education to hear the
best men in the associations in expert
cnce and in service argue the question
of the polity of the association ana
the relationship cf the agencies.

Berlin Court Circles are Reveling in
a Bit of Scandal That Excites
All Europe.
OLD FLAME RENEWED
(By Associated Press.)

Berlin, Sept. Princess Louise of
Coburg, daughter of the king of the
Belgians, whose relations with Kegle-
vich Mattasitch, the former lieutenant
of the Austrian army caused a great
scandal in European royal circles sew
en- years ago, and who has since been
kept under the closest restraint, has
vanished from Bad Elster, where she
has been taking the cure. 1t is pre-
sumed that the princess is in the COM
pany of Mattasitch and is seeking to
gain an asylum where she will be safe
from recapture.
The escape of the princess was &C
complished in a mysterious and ro-
mantle manner. Ladders and a swift
automobile were brought into play to
effect her release from the hotel, where
she has been immured almost as a
prisoner, and to convey her to some
refuge, regarding the location of which
nothing is known. Not the slightest
trace of the whereabouts of the pair
has been discovered, and nothing is
known beyond the fact that the prin-
cess and another guest of the hotel,
believed to have been Mattasitch, have
disappeared and with them the jewels
Of the princess. and an automobile.
The escape of the princess, with an
air of mystery, has created almost as
great sensation here and in Dresden
and Vienna as did the original scan
dial. Detailed accounts in the news
papers of her flight overshadow the
dispatches from the far East.

ture is made of the sounding board
and proscenium arch, having beauti-
full gracefully arranged panel OF decor
alive flowers. As whole, the in
terror will be equal to any metropoli-
tan theater throughout this country.
The entrance of the lobby is being
treated in dull golden tints in strict
harmony with the elaborate decora-

lack in artistic taste displayed in
comparison with the decorative work
performed in the main auditorium.
The decorations are being done by the
well known firm "The William Eek
hart company, of Chicago whose
speciality is the decorating of such
buildings and to have firm of this
kind do this work, will unquestion-
ably assure its artistic success.
The exterior of the theater will also
be newly reprinted, the prevailing col
or will be light grey stone trimmed In
a pale green.
On account of the extensive changes
that are to take place at the theater,
it will be impossible for Manager
Swisher to have a formal opening be-
fore about the first of November, then
all of the decorating and painting
will have been completed, the new
seats will be in place, and everything
in first class shape. Manager Swisher
will offer for formal opening, an
attraction that will be one of the best
attractions playing cities, and he is
certainly very fortunate in securing
same.
In the mean time, several attrac-
tons will be put on the boards while
