thing rarely paralleled at any nation

sion. At two or three entrances the
pressure was so great the lines were
broken and many persons without
tickets forced their way into the hall
II was a crowd, that. judging from pro-
yailing symptoms, came with the full
intention of participating in the pro
ceedings. for cheers. applause and
comment were forthcoming on every

THE FATAL SCAR"
Famous Missouri Ex-Bandit Coming
to Pendleton.

The big scenic production, intro
ducing Frank James, "the man who
never broke a promise" will be
given a first performance in this
place Tuesday, December 20.
1t is different from the ordinary
drama, for the reason that 1t is not
only bubbling over with the most de-
lightful and natural sentiment, as
tender as 1t is true, but at the same
time the scenes and incidents, which
are true to life have been brought
together in the most dramatic and
effective manner.
Those who have Witnessed the pro-
duction of the story say that the ac-
ton is swift moving, carrying the in
terest of the spectator from one in
cident to another with, at times, be-
wildering rapidity, and then, just as
mountain stream, after dashing
down a steep declivity, all roar and
excitement, will suddenly rush into
sheltered nook, and then glide on
with tender murmuring, so does the
robust and melodramatic elements
suddenly blend themselves into the
purest and most refined sentiment.
1t is produced by most excellent
cast and will be given the most sum-
ptuous, as we'll as artistic investi-
lures.

New York, Dec. 16.-The last of
the transatlantic mail that will
reach the other side in time for
Christmas distribution goes on the
steamships leaving port today and to-
morrow. Employees of the postoffice
foreign department express the
opinion that the rush this year has
been the largest on record. On single
steamships that have sailed this week
there have been no less than 1000
bags of mail These contained many
thousands of registered packages in
addition to the regular mail.
The chief center of activity during
the last 10 days has been the foreign
postoffice at West and Morton
streets. Here the mail is sorted ac-
cording to destination and thence
taken to the steamships in wagons
panies. To get all the mail aboard
one of the big liners before it saili
is a task accompanied by much diff
ficulty. During the past week 1t hai
been found necessary to work da,
and night getting the mail on board
and in more than one instance th'
last bag has been carried up the
plank just before the signal for de
parture has been given.
The fact that the parcels post sys-
tenn has been established between the
United States and several of the
European countries during the last
year or two has helped greatly to in
crease the volume of foreign mail al
Christmas time.
The most of the Christmas presents
sent abroad from this country are
destined for England and Germany.
Other countries, however, including
Ireland. France and the Scandinavian
countries. receive thousands of letters
and parcels from America at this
time each year. A large proportion
OF the letters sent abroad contain
money orders from persons in this
country to relatives in their old
homes. This is especially true of the
mail matter sent to Italy and to Nor
way and Sweden. In the case of
Germany. England and France the in
terchange OF gifts Is more common.
