TIE BEAUTY DOCTOR.

The fact that the same com
pany that is playing The Beau
ty Doctor" in Pittsburg this
week, will be seen at the Grand
Opera House in that delightful
musical comedy next Thursday
evening, should insure a record
breaking audience, as the press
notices it is receiving from the
Pittsburg papers are very com
plimentary. In fact, some, of
the Pittsburg papers say it is
the best musical production that
has been seen in that city this
season. The show pleased here
last season, but so many changes
for the better have been made in
the production that it Will hardly
be recognized as the same one
seen here last season. The prin-
cipals are all the same, as they
could not be improved upon,
but the music and other features
have been changed, making a
decided improvement.

TARIFF CHANGE
in PHILIPPINES
WAS THE PRINCIPAL SUBJECT
UNDER DISCUSSION AT CAB
met MEETING TO-DAY.
fBy Publishers Press. J

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Tha
only matter of importance transacted
at the Cabinet meeting to-day was the
question of changing the tariff of the
Philippine Islands on goods imported
from other countries than the United
States.
Secretary Taft was OF the opinion
that Congress ought to place full pow
er in the Philippine commission 20
make such changes as are necessary
for the well-being of the Islands Tie
present tariff was made '3y the com
mission and as it was afterward ar
proved by Congress, che power to al
ter it was taken out Of the commits
sions hands The President and ctl.-
er members of the Cabinet agreed
with Secretary Taft and it is quite
likely that the Chief Executive will. in
his forthcoming message to Congress-.
recommend the Legislation along that
line.

Prominent Capitalists Here.

Col. Henry F. Blount and Col NJ. NJ.
Parker, of Washington, D. c., two of
the country's most famous capitalists,
were in Fatrmont to-day, presumably
to investigate the state of business af-
fairs in this section and to look over
their. holdings in this neighborhood,
principal among which is the Colum-
bia mine. near Clarksburg, now 1eas-
ed by the Fairmont Coal Company.
While nothing definite is known, it is
thought that their visit may have
more significance than mere visit

PROSPERITY
UNA6ATED AND SUc.
CESS OF ROOSEVELT AS
SuRES THE FUTURE.

The purchase of the towboat T. K.
Hullings, by the Big Falls Coal Com
pany, strongly bears out the theory
of the Republicans that confidence
would be restored just as soon as
Roosevelt's election was assured.
The deal for this boatswas not clos
ed until Tuesday night, and before the
steamer reached this city, check
for her had reached the owners. The
boat was purchased from Captain E.
B. Gribble and delivered to this city
by Captain w. B. M1lliken, of
Brownsville. After to-day the steam

tain Jim Downer, and will be used by
the aforementioned company to tow
coal to the Pittsburg market. and
besides will do general pickup bust

AMERICA AND THE WAR.

i America has. done her best 10 mitigate the
/ evils OF the war and that best has not been
little. The American suggestion. originating in
/ the columns Of The Tribune, that Russia should
avoid war by submitting the dispute TO the tri-
bunal at The Hague, Of which she was the
founder. was not accepted. Ii may be that
there are Russians who to-day wish ii had
been But the proposal OF the American Secre-
tary OF State for limiting as far as possible the
area Of belligeroncy has been accepted with
universal favor, and we may well expect 1t TO
prove a potent influence toward lessening the
horrors OF the war and their cost to the world
at large.
We have said II has been universally accepted.
japan and Russia, II Is true, accept IT with GER
tain reservations, identical in both cases. That
IS TO say. they exclude Manchuria from the por-
ton Of the Chinese Empire which is to be held
neutral during the war. But that reservation,
though not expressed in Secretary Hays note,
was doubtless TO be understood as a matter Of
course too obvious TO need formal expression.
Nanchuria is the actual battle-ground. There
the war was begun and there chiefly the war
IS 10 be fought To demand its naturalization
would be 10 demand that the whole war should
instantly cease. No doubt Secretary Hay would
like TO see that happen. But no doubt TOO, he
had and has no thought Of thus peremptorily
ordering It. His plan IS 10 let the war be
fought out in that part Of the Chinese Empire
IN which il actually exists and which before
the war had already been invaded and occupied
by one Of the beIligerents but to prevent it
from spreading into the other parts OF that
empire. That is practicable. 1t is also entirely
impartial as between the two belligerents, and
It IS gratifying though not at all unexpected,
10 learn that they both approve Il and pledge
to It their support
Apart from that. this country IS observing
the duties and obligations OF n neutral with
entire and conspicuous good faith. There IS
no concealment Of deep interest in the war.
Neither IS there concealnent OF the strong sym
pathies that are felt by American citizens as
private individuals. Such eympathies even find
occas ional expression IN the public press. There
has never been any secret concerning them. A
rumor was recently extant, which seemed quite
incredible, that the Russian government was
about TO recall Count Cassini "for not properly
informing # OF the state Of feeling in America
It is inconceivable that he should have failed 10
acquaint his government on that score, or that
the Russian government could have remained
ignorant Of what formed the topic OF daily dis
patches and comments IN tho leading Russian
newspapers So far however, as the official
attitude OF this government and nation is con-
cerned, there is and there has been nothing 10
report or 70 know save that It was and is
marked with strict neutrality and with Impair
taI benevolence toward both the participants IN
this unhappy strife.

faithful and able Judge after long period Of

circumstances that make Il almost impractcable
FOR him to earn a suitable living. The case OF

There are, besides, the best OF American
