scene of The Creole, or rArticle Al
House last evening and at it's conclu-
ment of being called twice before the
footlights after the curtain had fallen

French family, while travelling in
Louisiana, meets and falls in love with
the creole girl Cora. He promises to
marry her. but his mother induces him
to break the promise. He refuses to
give her up, however, and for a time
they dwell together on an old Southern
plantation.
Finally they go to Paris and in that
brilliant city Cora grows tired of the
simple life Duhamel insists she shall
lead and encourages the attention of
other men, In moment of Jealous
rage Duhamel shoots her. She recov-
ers. but an unsightly scar on her neck
marks the path of the bullet. Cora S
vindictiveness is aroused when she
finds that her beauty has been marred
forever She prosecutes Duhamel and
he is sent to prison for five years. Upon
his release he seeks to reform and
weds The daughter of a noble house
only TO be exposed by his Nemesis.
Finally Cora goes mad in her search
for vengeance and dies at the feet of
the man that shot her. imploring. in a
lucid moment, for forgiveness and CIV
ing to Duhamel a pardon she has long
carried immuning him from surveil-
ance as a discharged convict and free
ing him from further punishment for
having broken the terms of his release.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, May 14.-Ba-

bassador to the United States, spent
the day here. A large delegation OF
his countrymen resident here waited
upon him in a body at his hotel. He

in. Makaio proceeded to dump the
medicines out of the house and to give
the patient a more vigorous sort of
treatment. Makaio believed in the hard
truths in the Bible, so he took up a
copy of holy writ and proceeded to
whack the patient on the head with it.

WEAK CAN BEAR PAIN BEST
Physical Power Not Always Best in
Severe Operations, Declares
Famous Surgeon.

DR.. J. p. Lockart Mummery, the IA
nous British surgeon, says it is often
extremely difficult to estimate the con-
dition of a patient with regard to his
power of standing a severe operation.
Often a weakly looking individual, who
looks as IL he would not stand a severe
operation well, stands it quite well, and
vice versa.
This is accounted for by the fact
that a person of poor physique who
leads a strenuous life has often much
more highly developed nerve centers
than one OF robust physique who leads
a life of ease and Incidence, which
makes but slight calls upon his nerve
centers for great or sudden activity.
The mental condition of a patient
prior to operation has a considerable
influence upon the development OF
shock. Patients who dread an opera
ton and who are in a state of consid-
cradle mental anxiety before the an
aesthetic is administered are more liza
BILE. other things being equal. to devel-
Cd shock than those whose mental
equilibrium is undisturbed.

which the president discusses naval
and military matters in the mi
nutest detail is a matter of won
ices. 1t is not more wonderful, how
ever, than the tloroughness with
which he masters questions in every
department Of the government. His
recent conduct of state affairs with
out the Intervention Of the secretary
Of state is one of the surprises Of his
administration. He entered upon the
delicate peace negotiations between
Russia and Japan with the assurance
and tact Of an old trained diplomat.
In all his varied lines Of public
activity, Mr.. Roosevelt probably takes
more interest and delight in naval az
fairs than in anything else. He has
written a history Of the navy, knows
its traditions, and is acquainted with
its development, from the old wood
en- frigate to the modern battleship as
well as any Of the most experienced
naval Officers. His study Of the navy
has borne practical fruit, and his
theories rut into use have made the
United States navy the most effective
In the world. The principal of these
theories is that the man behind the
gun is the main dependence in q naval
conflict. While assistant secretary Of
the navy he insisted that the men
must be taught how to shoot, and that
government money could be expended
In no better way than In purchasing
powder and shells for target practices.
The system Of target practice that ne
inaugurated enabled the American gun
ners to win the great naval victories
In the war with Spain.

TIE m BRITISH COMMONS
An Unusual Occurrence in This Famous
Body-Has Happened Three
Times in a Century.

London journalists were reminded Of
an interesting bit Of political history
by q recent incident at the British
house of commons. A division in the
house upon a question relating to Lon
don street railways resulted in a tie
III members on each side. Thereupon
the speaker gave the casting vote in
the negative. A tie in the house OF
commons is unusual. for this was the
first time Gin many years that one had
occurred. The last important division
previously that called for the vote Of
the speaker took place in 1861. But
Just a century ago. in April, 1905, a
resolution aimed at Lord Melville, q
leading member OF the cabinet, re-
ceive 2l6 votes. and an equal number
was given in opposition. The speaker
gave the casting vote in favor Of the
resolution. In consequence of this vote,
Lord Melville was impeached the next
year. 1906. He was accused of appro-
priating public funds. but was finally
acquitted. He was a great friend OF
Mr.. Pitt. the prime minister, who did
his utmost to proteCS him. and who
was greatly grieved at the vote Of the
speaker.

will be many happy experiences during
the present summer. One favorite pas
time for the president and his four
boys is TO go OF to the woods or
along the bay shore. away from any
sign of human habitation, and have a
genuine camping-out party. Simple
provisions are taken along, and these,
with the fish they take from the bay,
affords food for the outing. The presi-

the restriction there naturally is upon

Loeb conducts the routine business,
and occasionally the president calls
and looks over some papers, but most
Of the business is carried by the sec
rotary to Sycamore Hill, where the
president can attend to it untroubled
by persistent visitors.
This will be a very busy season with
Mr. Roosevelt. and he will have many
questions to determine before congress
meets. At his country home he will
take up the study Of the tariff and
reach a decision as to whether he will
recommend that congress undertake
remodeling Of the schedules. In the
comfortable quarters OF his summer
residence he will meet such men as
Senator Aldrich, Senator Burrows, Sen
ator Allison, Congressman Payne, and
others who are admittedly experts on
this question. and will confer with
them upon the tariff. Between his
holiday diversions the president will
give attention to the railway rate ques-
ton. 1t is not unlikely that from the
humble village Of Oyster Bay will also
issue orders and decisions that will
have an important bearing upon inter
national affairs.

public matters, however. the president

port Of that engagement will show
that much of the destruction attrib-
uted to submarine boat operations was
effected by floating mines skillfully

submarine boat is likely to occupy a
prominent and an increasingly in
pOrtant place in the plans of the COST

board will decide in favor of the sub

placed in certain and known positions,
which may be avoided by the home
