kyceum-"Graustark."

Dick Ferris celebrated the reappear-
ance of "Graustark'' on the Lyceum stage
last evening by appearing in rather large
type on the program as Grenfall Lorrey,
an American. Florence Stone appears as
Yettve, Princess Of Graustark, alias Miss
Gugenslocker. She makes a sensational
entrance in an automobile, which gave the
audience heart disease until the chauf-
feur had landed it safely behind the
scenes.
"Graustark'' was the play receiving
the highest number of votes in the con-
test recently held by the patrons of the
theater. Many believe that it is the
best production that has been put. on at
the Lyceum, and the fact that there is
excitement In every line filled the house
to the doors. The climax of the per-
formance, however, was due rather tc

HOW TO GET RID OF HIM

Here are some Of the rules Edmund
Russell once read to the Eclectic club on
How to Get Rid Of Lover: ~
Step often on his feet.
Move your hands little every time he opens
his mouth. 1t will make him nervous.
Always ridicule men he admires.
Let him see you conversing with superior men
while he sits bored and unnoticed in the back
ground. ....
Do not move when he attempts to embrace you.
Should he offer caress, turn little aside.
ASK him to love you when he is tired.
Never laugh when he laughs. ~~s.-~
If both should happen to laugh at the same
time. show that you are not laughing at what
he is laughing. /
When he wants to tell you story, interrupt
him with another that has nothing to do with
the one he is about to tell you
Find fault with all plans he makes for your
pleasure. =
| Ask him continually for things he cannot give

A Notable Inquiry.

There will assemble in Paris, tomor-
row, the commissioners who have been
accepted by Russia and Great Britain
to make inquiry and determine the
power responsible for the tragedy
known as the "North sea incident.
The Russian Baltic squadron, under Ad-
miral Roiestvensky, bombarded Brit
ish fishing fleet disastrously in the
North sea, and aroused such measure
Of indignation in England that the gov
eminent ordered the channel and Med1-
terranean squadrons and naval supply
works to prepare for war, which was
averted by the agreement Of the car
and King Edward to refer the question
Of blame to a commission Of naval and
international law experts acceptable to
themselves.
Anv one who has read attentively the
details of the North sea affair OF Oct.
2l-22. as revealed by the statements or
the fishermen on the Hull trawlers, and
nv the officers and men of the Russian
Baltic squadron, sees that, unless the
Russian Admiral Roiestvensky and his
officers can prove their assertion that
the Russian fleet was attacked by a
feet of Japanese torpedoboats, they ex-
haust their only plea in defense Of their
onslaught on the British fishermen.
Russia has a very flimsy case. The
various statements that Japs were
known to have visited points in Den
mark, purchased vessels, ETC., have been
fatty denied by the Danish authorities
and, so far, at least, the British conten
tion that the Russian action on the date
y specified, was either a wanton exhibi
ton Of Russian spite, or an act done I'M
der the sudden development Of an ap
partition, bred Of imaginations wrought
npon by Japanophobia, seems to hole

The fact that Admiral Rojestvensky

certain damage, would suggest that thu
officers, even if it were true that Jap

in those waters, unseen by anybody a

ognized by the nations. The question
as to what articles really constitute
contraband of war has not been settled,
and is variously answered, and so has
continued to be cause Of irritation.
AS to the North sea incident in
quiry, if Russia can prove that her naval
commanders saw on the night Of Oct.
21-22 last, not phantom feet Of Jap

that kind, and fred in self-defense thru

Britain might be charged with violation

If Great Britain wins her case and

the commission will award, it is likely
that the car will order sharp limita

ships, and require naval surgeons to sup
ply themselves with good and effective

men, notably for the Russian gunners.

The Grade Crossing.

f The disaster at Columbia Heights last
night emphasizes the oft-repeated warn
ing against grade crossings within ur-
ban limits where they can possibly be
eliminated. It is very well to say that
carefulness on the part Of the conduc-
tor and motorman would have precluded
the possibility of the disaster; but that
does not necessarily follow. The cross
ing is near the bottom Of a considera-
BILE grade, and when the tracks are
slippery-as they were last night-it is
at times impossible for the employees
Of the street railway company to stop
their cars there. That there has been
no disaster there before this is not be.
cause there has been no danger.
That men will become familiar with
danger and, therefore, careless, is as
well known as any other fact Of human
nature and must be reckoned with il
this matter of grade crossings, which
are and ever have been menace which
could and should be removed.

MANY RUMORS
Old Timers are on the Fioor.-Every-
body Expectant.-Violent Rallies
for a Time.-Another Chill Strikes
the Market at the Close.

New York. Dec. 13.-It is no exag-
geration to state that the Wall street
day began with more anxiety than
shown since the May panic Of 1901.
The reason for this was the COM
plete collapse at yesterdays close,
revealing weak spots in unlocked for
places Almost every conceivable sort
of rumor was in the air this morning.
1t was reported among other things
that meeting of the big banking in
terests was held last night and that
it was decided to support the market
IL it became worse. For this as well
as other rumors there seems to be
no foundation. The floor was crowd
ed with members, many of them old
timers who seldom appear except on
momentous occasions. The greatest
crowd was around the Amalgamated
copper and steel trading posts. The
scenes were animated and exciting.
Before the end of the first half hour
the tape was at least ten minutes be-
hind the market. Support was shown
in copper and other stocks, the buy
ers being insiders. The bears finally
rushed to cover and carried copper
three points above last nights close
Gains were also made in other stocks
but the recoveries were not complete
all along the line. However, they ali
showed violent rallies from the low
point. Trading was extremely fever
ish for a time on the rally, but the
market settled down to a quieter
tone before eleven o'clock.
The market became quiet later at
the recovered level of prices, and sup
port was forthcoming at any attempt
to force the level down again. The
whole market was in close sympathy
with copper which touched 657s in
the afternoon, and support for that
stock relieved the pressure at other
points.
Another chill struck the stock mar
ket during the last hour and the
gains melted to about last nights
close.

National LEAGUE Meetinu.

New York. Dec. 13.-Natlonal
Lea que baseball for the season OF
1905 made its appearance today with
the assembling of the League mag,
mates in this city for their annual
meC ting The ostensible purpose of
the winter meeting is to wind up the
affairs of the past season, but the
present meeting will deal chiefly
with affairs relating to the coming
sea- on. The schedule will come up
for discussion in a preliminary way
and decision may be reached regard
ing the advisability of shortening the
playing season. Another matter to
receive attention is that relating to
post-seasCn games and an effort will
be made to PUT them on SOME recog.
nized basis in harmony with similar
action TO be taken by the American
League. 1t is probable that the res
oonsibilty of the post-season games
to be played by teams OF the oppos-
ing leagues will be placed upon the
shoulders of the national commission
consisting of Messrs. Johnson, Her
mann and Pulliam
