Bible Story on Stage.

The following from the Daily Chron.
lcle, Warren, Ohio. tells Of the great
play which will be seen at Neuman' s
theatre Thursday evening, April 81:
4 large audience witnessed the pro-
duction of s'Holy City, at the Opera
house Thursday evening, and went
away fully satisfied as to the merits OF
the production.
The play is built on entirely different
lines from anything that has ever been
seen here, it being the familiar Bible
story of the attitude of people towards
the disciples and teachings Of the
Christ the betrayal, cruciixion, and
transformation. the latter being repre-
sented by tableaux and specially paint
ed scenery.
The play is given in a serious, rever-
ent vein which takes away any thought
OF levity or profanity.

part Of John the Baptist, and Pontius

character of Elizabeth. mother of John
was ably presented by Isabelle Win
loche, her appeal to King Herod, max
ing one of the strongest climaxes of
the play.

of mention we're Grace Hamilton as

St. Johns VS.. N. w. u.

On Saturday, April 49, the lovers of
baseball will be given the chance to
see a good game, viz: St. Johns
Military Academy VS.. Northwestern
University on the N. w. U. campus at
two o'clock. Both teams are in the
pink OF condition and first class
game may be expected, since ST. Johns
is battling for the championship. st.
Johns has made a fine showing this
year, having defeated South Side High
of Milwaukee by a score of 16 to 0.
They also have Powers pitching for
them and he will undoubtedly manage
to keep the hits well scattered. From
the fact that the n. W. q. team de-
feated the second nine by score of 25
to 0 on Tuesday last one may get
pretty fair idea of the team. Re
member the date and do not miss this
chance Of seeing first class game of

Frank G. Bigelow, president of the
First National Bank of Milwaukee, the
LARGEST institution of it's kind in Wis

the amount of $1,2OO,OOO. He admits
a deficit of ST ,45O, 900 and has turned

Speculations and ventures On the
equally uncertain sea Of industrial ex-
ploitation have brought to ruin and
disgrace a former president OF the
American Bankers Association. the
courted adviser of the Secretary Of the
Treasury OF the United States. the
social and business associate of men
high in tie political and financial cir
cles of the nation, and man, in short,
whose name until late stood as a
synonym for ability. sagacity and pro-
bity in the banking world.
There were wild scenes at the corner
of Wisconsin and East Water streets,
where the building of the First Nation
al Bank is located. Panic stricken de-
positors hurried to withdraw their
money and a big section Of the
police force was dispatched to the
scene to preserve a mblance of order.
The directors Of the bank had pre-
pared for the run by bringing in 81 400,
900 in currency from Chicago before
the defalcation was made public, and
that was OILY little more than the
amount withdrawn by depositors dur
ing the first days run.
The less frenzied supporters of the
bank, anxious to stem panic, rallied
as soon as possible with deposits to re-
store confidence. There was no chance
for them. how 5ver. to get within hail
ing distance of the tellers in the bank,
owing to the crowd bent on withdraw
ing their accounts, and for heir benefit

$500 900 in deposits was passed IN

had accomplices among the employees
of the institution. One of these, Henry
G. Coll, an assistant cashier, could not
be found by deputy United States mar

Students Self-Supporting.

Recent Investigations show that the
slty who are supporting themselves
wholly or partly has increased this
| year to between six and seven hundred,
or nearly one-third of the total num-
ber. AS d result of this increase. the
kinds of employment which the stu
dents are taking up has grow in num-
Der and variety until now these self
supporting students are doing every
thing from pressing clothes and con-
Quoting barber shops to keeping bees
and giving music lessons. Even some
of the foreign born students, such as
those from Japan and South America,
in spite of the added difficulty of not
being familiar with the Eng lish Ian
guage, manage to earn enough money
to make possible their education

interest. Many secure their board by
waiting Cn table, or washing dishes in
boarding houses, restaurants or hotels.
Others secure their rooms rent free by
taking care of furnaces, sboveling
snow, cutting grass, caring for horses,
splitting wood and beating carpets.
Some succeed in making considerable
money by typewriting. stenography
bookkeeping and clerical work gener-
ally. There are some dozen student
agents for out of-town laundries, all of
whom are doing a prosperous business
in caring for the linen of their fellow
students. Tutoring high school and
university students. and giving music
lessons, serve as means for paying the
necessary expenses of othe self-sup-
porting students. The university
authorities make use of student help
whenever it is able to do so, and as a
result many students are employed by
the university as library and labora-
tory assistants, jantors, temporary
clerks, stenographers and typewriters.
assistants in gymnasium Besides
these there are a great variety of en-

daily papers. singing in church choirs,
pressing work for talors, acting as
reporters and correspondents for news
papers, singing in church choirs, and
hundred and one other things that
none but an ingenious student. hard
pressed for money, could devise.
There are also many young women
who are wholly or largely self-support-
ing The variety of occupations open
to them is naturally more limited, but
nevertheless they succeed in securing
work of one kind or another. Some
wait On able and act as maids at Chad

of young women are earning thei" way

How a Newspaper was killed.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat de-
scribes the cause of the death of the
St. Paul Globe:
With its first of May issue the ST.
Paul Globe suspended publication. 1t
did this under conditions which make
the event worthy of some notice. Up
TO the last il claimed TO have the larg-
est circulation OF any morning paper
in ST Paul: il asserted that il deliv-
cred by carriers more copies than did
any other morning newspaper in either
St. Paul or Minneapolis; it proclaimed
that advertisers get loo per cent more
in results for the money they spend
on advertising in the Globe than from
any other paper" And yet the Globe
has given up the ghost.
The reason assigned by IL for the
suspension was that il was not ade-
quately patronized by the home adver-
tisers This. of course. would make a
serious drain on its resources. A con-
siderable part of a great newspapers
revenue consists of its receipts for ad-
vertising. In its quarter of a century
of existence, however. the Globe put up
a brave front. IL erected a building
about Is years ago which was the big
gest and cumpletest newspaper edifice
in the northern tier of states west of
Chicago Ii was the only democratic
newspaper of any prominence in a
state which has just elected a demo
cratic governor.
But that paper was fatally impeded
by the fact that il was an organ. It's
owner was James ]. Hill, a very good
