At the Belasco theater, which is Mrs

plans, and when it came time 10
leave New York with the BelascO
play one of the difficulties that pre-
scented itself was the matter of dress
ing room accommodations on the
road When someone condOled with
Mrs. Garter on the unpleasant posi-
bilities there might be in the IN
known qualities of the dressing
rooms to which she was to be intro
duced, she said: "That may be a
great inconvenience and | ought 10
take my own dressing room with
me" And she did.
The stage carpenter went to work,
and with Mrs. Carriers architect
standing over him, covered five big
frames with canvas like so many
pieces of scenery, and soon were com
pleted the four walls and ceiling Tor
neat little dressing room. Inc
walls were covered with pretty pink
dimity, there was long shelf for a
dressing table to go beneath the
makeup mirror there were othei
shelves to occupy one side OF the
room. a door in one side and venti'
lators on every side. Then furniture
was bought for the room There were
TWO large mirrors with red, green
and white lights on all sides, while
any color could be turned on at VIII
The remaining furniture consisted OF
tables and chairs and a little electric
| heater.
This portable dressing room has
been a great saving in physical ant
mental effort to Mrs. Carter, and Sn'

sprees, and each time the Canadian
police rounded them up only after
great loss of life.
Although scarcely heard Of prior
to their first outbreak, two years
ago, they are really an old sect.
They are Russians. The Sclavonlc
word Doukhobor means spirit
wrestler" The term was applied de-
risiyely to them by a Greek bishop
in the Crimea. They accepted 1t
cheerfully and the name stuck.
The principal tenet of their creed
is that the spirit of Christ is in each
man They have no clergy, no form
of worship, except meetings for sing
ing and bowling to the spirit of the
Savior in each.
Until about 90 years ago they all
drank, danced and served in the Rus
sian army. Piotr Veregin, youth,
reformed them. They became vege-
tarians, refused to fight, drink or
dance and were sent to Siberia In
droves.
Philanthropists transported 5000
OF them to northwest Canada, In
1899. They lived simply on their
farms and raised their crops. They
kill no living thing.
In 1903 they burned all their farm
implements because these contained
iron and steel to get which lives are
risked They discarded all clothing
and started on march, looking for
the Messiah. They suffered awful
privations, but bore their agony with
| fanatical zeal. Men saw wives and
children perish and seemed to glory
in It,
Finally the government rounded
! them up and returned them to their
/ villages. They did not resist for they
do not believe in resistance.
Their next vagary was that horses
and oxen should not be worked be
cause these animals had no choice in
/ the affair. Instead they yoked their
women up to plows and made them
do the work of beasts.
Except for these vagaries, they are
orderly, industrious, charitable and
honest people. Most of their fanat-
ical excursions have been inspired by
Ziberoff, who claimed that he was
| John the Baptist and would lead the
zealots to Christ in the wilderness.
1t is said that the Doukhobors went
on these fanatical marches years ago,
but the Cossacks shot them down
without mercy. They speak their
own language, and all attempts TO
assimilate them have failed.

Ptomaine Poisoning

Mrs. Leasure, Of Moscow, died
at Lewiston Sunday morning at
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Clay McNamee, on Normal hill,
the cause of death being ptomaine
poisoning.
The poisoning it is believed by
the physicians came from mutton
fat that was served for dinner al
the McNamee residence on Thurs
day afternoon, April IA. Afte,
dinner, Attorney McNamee be-
came sick, and the symptoms O
ptomaine notwithstanding and
bowel trouble-were noticed. Al
|2 O'Clock the following Friday
morning, Mrs. McNamee was sim
ilarly affected and that afternoon
Mrs. Leasure was taken sick. Mrs
Leasure was of the Christian
Science faith and received treat
ment until Sunday, when owing
to her critical state, DIR. Morris
was summoned. He pronounced
the case was one of ptomaine pois
oning and latter called into con
sultation Drs. Phillips and Ster.
ling. Every effort was made by
the physicians to counteract th>
poison but without success an(
Mrs. Leasure, who suffered pa.
tiently, gradually grew weaker tt
the end.
The poisoning in the case of Mr.
and Mrs. McNamee was not so pro
nounced and they are now rapid
ly recovering from their illness. :
