Theatrical Notes.

Fred Summerfield's new melodrama.
why Girls Leave Home closes the week
at the Park, beginning this afternoon. 1t
is one of the few plays of its kind which
does not depend upon mechanical contriv-
ances to heighten interest in it's plot al
though it is said to be well staged. 1t tells
a story OF village girl who is lured to New
York expecting to delve into the glittering
life there. She finds that a plot is on foot
against her, when she escapes its meshes
by the aid of a brother and a former sweet
heart. The love story is said to be on
appealing order and good deal of COM
edy is developed during the action. The
chief character is portrayed by Ellen Boyer
and others In the cast are w. j. Hurley,
Walter Gilbert, Florence Weber and Anna
Schaeffer.
Maxine Elliott will be at English's next
Monday and Tuesday nights in Clyde Fitch's
new comedy, Her Own Way" which
proved one of the most substantial sue
cesses of the early part of the present theat-
rical SEASON in New York. There are many
novel features in the new piece according
to all accounts. The first act takes place
in a children's nursery, and for twenty
minutes the attention of the audience is
held by the chatter OF four youngsters who
discuss their elders in anything but COM
plimentary terms. Little Donald Gallaher
who made such hit as the naughty boy
III Inc Little Princess last spring. takes
the leading juvenile role, and is said TO
be deliciously amusing in the part.

The burlesque show given by Robes

of its kind seen in Indianapolis this season.
The chorus is made up of pretty girls. who

several burlesquers of more than ordinary
ability with the company. The ensemble
musical numbers are presented in very at
tractive style, and the Jewell Ballet is
the pBettiest dance ever given at burlesoue

vidual successes.

One of the simplest ways Of keeping en-
ameled shoes in good condition is to wash
them frequently with sweet milk. Wash the
shoes thoroughly with the milk, removing
all mud dust, then wipe with a soft
cloth. Let them stand for a moment and
run over again with a dry soft cloth. This
will give them a polish almost equal to
new. and enameled shoes treated in this
way will retain their smart appearance for
a long time without using any other dress
ing on them.-Cooking Club

Many of the new fabrics for the dressier
gowns of the spring are in plaids and
checks, but there is nothing in the least
conspicuous i'm their designs. The softest
of pinks and blues and greens form the
color combinations, and the plaids are very
small and most frequently broken.
The circular flounces of embroidery are
among the prettiest designs shown for the
trimming OF the fine muslin and null frocks
OF the summer. The patterns come in al
most any width and price and they are such
an effective decoration that they will prob
ably find much favor in the eyes of the
summer maid.

CONGRESS- ALONE CAN INVITE.
Secretary Of State Has Not Asked
Any of the Crowned Heads to
Visit Worlds Fair. /,

Washington, Aug. 16.-Careful In
CURRY at the state department develops
the fact that no invitation has passed
through that department to any king,
prince or potentate to attend the
worlds fair at st. Louis. The execu-
tive branch Of the government does not
intend to issue invitations of this kind
except on explicit direction of con-
gress. Congress has appropriated no
money to entertain royal visitors, and
moreover 1t Is regarded as highly de-
slrable that there should be no dis
elimination in such invitations and 1t
is not feasible to invite all the crowned
heads of Europe to st. Louis at the
governments expense. 1t is possible
that some distinguished visitors will
come of their own invitation, in which
case the president will see to it that
they receive every possible courtesy.
but he cannot extend invitations.

VETERANS IN BIG PARADE.
Twenty-six Thousand Survivors Of
Civil War Marched to Music
Through BOstOn's Streets.

Boston, Aug. 17.-Twenty-six thou

which fought In the civil war marched
through the winding streets Of historic
Boston and over 100000 people who
had assembled from all sections of the
United States saw pass In review the
G. A. R. This was the great feature
Of all the events of national encamp-
ment week, the occasion was made a
holiday throughout Greater Boston,
whose residents fiocked to the state
capitol to view the veterans. Through
streets, brilliantly decorated, between
ranks of spectators who cheered, waved
banners, abplauded in every possible
way, sought to show them honor, the
veterans marched for hours. At the
statehouse the parade was reviewed
by Gov. Bates, with Gov. Van SAINT, of
Minnesota, and several former Massa-
chusetts governors; Senator Lodge and
Booker T. Washington. At City hall
Mayor Collins with former mayors and
the mayors of nearby cities saw the
pageant and on Boyleston street Com
mander-in-C Chief Black reviewed COM
rades who had come from AZ states and
two territories.
Never before have the Boston hospi-
tails been so severely taxed as they were
during the passage of the Grand Army
parade through the streets of the city.
The police arrangements proved in
adequate and surging crowds broke
through the lines and sew
eral times interrupted the parade. In
turning from School street into Wash
ington street and at other corners the
veterans were at times forced to pass
in single file. Reports indicate that
more than 300 persons were either
Frustrated by the heat or tainted in

DOM PAUL'S UNLUcKY GEM
Remarkable History Of Famous Dia-
mond Owned by the Boer
Leader,

When Kruger went to Europe he
took with him a famous diamond,
which was said to have brought mis-
fortune and death to all its possessors.
1t had curious history. says the Bal
timore Sun.
The diamond originally belonged to
Meshhesh, Basuto chief, from whom
1t was extorted by T'Chaka, the Zulu
king. TChaka's brother killed him
and stole the stone. The brother came
to grief, and the gem passed into the
possession Of Zulu chief, who soon
afterward was assassinated. The ma
tives say that no less than 16 Of the
successive possessors of the diamond
either were killed or driven out Of the
country for the sake of the gem.
The diamond was then seen by
white men, who sought to possess It.
A party Of whites attacked the natives
who had the stone in their possession
and fierce fight ensued, in which 300
lives, mostly native, were lost
Memela, native chief, took the
gem and concealed 1t in wound which
he had received In the battle. After
ward Memela was caught by the Beers
and set to work as a slave. Kruger,
hearing his story, released him, and in
gratitude Memela gave the stone to
his liberator. Some years passed, and
then Kruger met misfortune.
Where the fatal diamond is now Is
not certain, though 1t is certain that
the ex-president of the Transvaal part
ed with 1t. Some say that It is in the
Golfers Of the vatican, and some that
1t was sold to the emperor Of Austria,
and Is now among the crown Jewels
Of Vienna.
The stone is said to be 200 carats
In weight, but is not perfect.
