S AT.THE LOCAL. PLAY HOUSE
KeIlar Pleased.

keIlar, the great and only, made
his initial appearance before FAR
mont audience last night, and delight
ed house that was filed almost to
capacity. For two hours his magic
arts amazed all who saw him, and
hearty applause frequently showed
the appreciation with which he was
regarded. From converting one white
handkerchief into divers colored ones.
to suspending human body in mid
air with no support but the atmos-
phere, his every move was watched
with the most intense interest, and
each succeeding trick baffied the most
observant The trick of ramminS
rings borrowed from different persons
in the audience into a revolver and
then firing them out and finally pre-
senting them to their owners inside
a rosebud recalls his appearance in
Washington a short while ago when
the Roosevelt family were interested
spectators in a box near the stage.
Little Edith Roosevelt was one of a
number who gave ring to the ma
gic1an. Her ring was not returned to
her when the others were given to
their owners, and she became very
uneasy, and finally consulted her papa
regarding it. Mr.. Kellar, hearing her,
expressed surprise that her ring had
not been returned and said perhaps
they would find it in the bottle he
was going to break. Just as it hap
pened last night guinea pig was in
the bottle, and on ais asking her if
that would do instead. Archie answer
ed for her and said it would. He
then proceeded to wrap it up in paper
and handed it to her. Upon opening
the package her delight equaled
Arches disgust at finding not the pig.
but bunch of roses with her ring
tied to the stems.
The real roses grown in a moment,
cut and distributed among the audi
ence, was another wonderful exhibit
of his power. The Egyptian princess
was a dainty and fascinating bit of
femininity, and her marvellous power
of diviniation and computation while
under the hypnotic influence of the
master. was one of the most aStonish-
ing features of the performance.
Master Robert Mccoy responded to
the request for the presence on the
stage OF some one not belonging to
the theater, and Master Robert while
assistins in various ways was as
much mystifed as everyone else by
the clever gentleman who has no RI
walls in his art to-day

..APAN,s AMAZING ART Or WAR.

This almost pathetic eaGerness or
the shop Keepers to get money IS
about the most striking evidence that
anything unusual is happenins IN the
country. Otherwise a stranger Would
hardly know that a great war was
going on.
Everything is quiet and there is
little or no display TROOPS are con-
tinually on the move, but they are
SO unconditional and businessl1ke IN
their methods that you hardly notice
them.
Sometimes on the railroad would
pass train1oad of troops singing one
of the national SONGS. Blu there is
no shouting. and. above all none OF
the hysteria that get shold of Lon
don or a Paris crowd in times of great
national excitement
They don't talk much about the
matter, either. | had many pleasant
yarns with naval and military officers

cheerful and polite.
But deep, Well. doE:'S if one
of the smartest of Your American re-
porters could get any information out
of one of those little chaps When II
comes 10 question of war plans
or future movements, why, as you
fellows over here say, there's nothing
doing.

THE wonderful thing to me was
the evidence everywhere OF marvel
Gus system and perfect preparation.
OF course, they have been getting
things ready for this event Tor the
last two years. and now that it has
come the whole country seems TO
work like a piece OF perfect machin-
cry Neither on sea or on land does
anything appear to have been lett
unprovided for.
One of the most Interesting chaps
I met over there was Capt. Lea. the
English retired naval officer who
brought out those two cruisers that
the Japs brought from Italy just be-
fore the war started They were the
Nisshin and the Kasaga. two armored
cruisers of 1900 tons each They
were built at Genoa for Agentna-
when the Japs jumped in and snapped
them up for S1,500.0o0.
Lea was commissioned :" get EN-
out to Japan as soon as they could
be put to sea. and it was mighty
ticklish job. They weren't ready till
the early part of January, and at thar
time everybody knew that war must
come and might break out at any
time.
Before daybreak of January he
slipped quietly out of The port OF Genoa
with his two boats right of the ways,
flying the Japanese flag ard under
sealed orders. He had scratch crews
on both; mixed lot of Hritishers,
JaDs and dogoeS. all lured by the
chance of extra pay and every man
aware that they might be fred on and
sunk at any momeut should war be
declared while they were ii: transit
Two Russian battleships we're wait
ing for them and steamed in their
wake, keeping them in sight along
the Sandman coast.
LEA knew that he had twenty
knots of speed and his burLers were
full, so he jammed along and got
into the canal on the s14th. At Port
Said he coaled again. but, before he
had finished, got word to bury on
10 Colombo
Now the ticlllish uart of Lea's Do-
sition was that in The event. OF a
hostile encounter he would nave been
helpless, as not man of his scratch
gang of shell backs knew anything
about handling the guns.
He knew. too. that capture meant
Siberia or Saghalien for him and his
brother officers, so he was taking a
good sporting chance all right.
'tTherc was only one thing for me
to do if I We're caught and couldn't
get away by superior speed, said he,
and l made up my mind. l. the time
came to do it, should have simply
era cked on every pound OF s'ram ana
ranlmed the ship attacking me-
Es~"On Feb 6, the very day that neSo-

tiations were broken of and war
started, he reached Singapore, where
he found orders telling HAM TO slip
down, TO a certain quiet spoa in the
Dutch archipelago and pick up a jap
anese mail steamer at an Indicated
poinr. Sure enough. he found a pas
senger steamship OF the Nippon-fu-
sen-Kaisha line waiting for him.
And then, he said. he saw some
thing in the way of organization
that he would not have believed pos
sible In one hour from the time he
dropped anchor alongside the liner,
600 men and a full complement or
japanese officers, with baggage, stores
and ammunition on. were aboard
his ship and every man in his ap-
pointed place.
The same thing happened on the
sister ship. The Japs had plans and
specifications of the new coats be-
forehand. and knew the run of them
from stem to stern even to the posi-
ton of the guns. Every detail OF the
transfers was accomplished with the
ease and regularity of clock work.
The Britishers and dagoes We're
put aboard the liner and The cruisers
ran their anchors up and steamed
away in chase of a couple of Russian
volunteer ships with everything
as trim and shipshape as ii the new
crews had made the long voyage in
them.
That was Il feat in sheer perfec-
ton of detail work. said Lea. that
no other fellows in the world but the
Japs. as | honestly believe, have ac-
complished.
"Ehen Lea and his brother officers
got to Toxic they had a great recep-

in his collection that money could not

From the poor people there were
hundreds of fans and all those charm

beauty is out of all proportion to
their trifling cost
One present that he priced highly
consisted of the queer, short. hand
knitted wooden socks that the soldiers
wear in winter-funuy looking things,
with a separate pocket for the big
