CHILDREN OF ISRAEL ON

Head of Strange Sect Arrives From
AustraIia-Say World Ends
in 1916.

New York. March 25.-A picturesque
party of men, women and children, SO
in number, members of religious sect
who proclaim themselves descendants
of the lost tribes of Israel, have arrived
here on the steamer Princess Irene.
They are from Australia and are bound
for Benton Harbor, Mich. where they
say 400 members of the sect already
are established.
They call themselves Children of Is
rael, and are vegetarians. The men
wear long hair and boards. They pro
fess TO believe in the saving of the
body as well as the soul.
The Israelites explained that they
were preparing to get together now SO
as to be prepared to ascend to heaven
together in August, 1916, when they be
lieve the end of the world will occur
and Satan will be overpowered and put
in bondage. They aver that only one
tribe of Israel, that of Judah, is now
lost, and they expect TO find that tribe
before the end of the world.

Hints a. to the Care of the skin,
Teeth and Hair.
The woman with good complexion.
even, well cared for teeth and neatly
kept hair can never be uncomely. All
these are within reach Of every wom-
an. so that it is evident no woman need
be hopeIessly plain. Even with irregu-
lar features a woman's face may al
ways beam with good temper and in
telligence If she so wills II and takes
pains to acquire these graces.
To have a good complexion absolute
cleanliness of the skin is Necessary, so
that it can be unclogged in doing its
work Of throwing off waste matter You
can tell the moment you set eyes upon
a persons face. neck and ears whether
the individual keeps the skin clean. The
perfectly kept skin has a FURNISHED, al
most transparent look. The blood shines
through ii and gives ii real radiance
The neglected skin, on the other hand.
Is dull. coarse grained and fairly gum
my.
In washing the body two points are
TO be remembered-first, TO cleanse the
skin properly. hot water. soap and Wig
orous scrubbing with brush are neces-
sary; next. cold water sprayed or dash
ed over the skin afterward prevents
taking cold. One needs two brushes, a
stiff one for the body. softer one for
the face and throat Almost any kind
of brush will do for the body. For the
face comes specially an oval brush
about two inches wide by three and
one-half long. This face brush is sold
in drug and department stores and is
not expensive. In using the brush
move it with n circular motion, always
backward and upward from the mouth.
About three times week a brisk scrub
bling with brushes is needed all over
the body. The other days less strenu-
GUS bath may be taken.
Lemon juice has n bleaching effect

Mixed in equal parts and well shaken,

THE FACE SCRUB.

der your dentist recommends. Once a
year at least have the dentist scrape
or cleanse the tartar and discoloration
from your teeth.
A foolish fad is one lately for bleach
ing" the teeth, as ii is called. Don't do
ii. 1t Injuries the teeth, and In time
they again become discolored as badly
as ever. Just keep them clean and
take care of your health. Our dentists
have evolved a white porcelain filling
that promises to supersede the gold
filings.
Children's teeth should be looked aft
er closely IN the growing stage. Crook
ed, too prominent or unduly crowded
teeth mar sometimes the whole beauty
of a girls face, or a mans either. for
that matter. Watch your children's
teeth, and II there is tendency TO alb
normality In their growth consult the
best dentist you know of and have the
abnormality corrected.
Let none grudge the money paid to
q skillful dentist. 1t Is far better to
have a pretty mouth than to have cost
~ clothes upon ones back.

Walter L. Franklin appeared before Judge Daniel A. Greene, senior judge of the criminal court, yesterday afternoon and entered plea of guilty in the charges against him of bgamy and embezzlement. In the first case he was given three years and in the second case one year and one day.
 Franklin. who 1t Is alleged was married three times without procuring a divorce In any instance, has been in the county jail for several weeks awaiting a. trial. He was married the last time to Miss Peachie Jones and was arrested few weeks ago by Detectives Bodeker and Hamilton. He was given a preliminary hearing and bound over by Justice of the Peace H. B. Abernathy to await the ac- ton of the grand jury on the charge of bigamy.

Today's annual meeting of the Southcrn | league magnates developed the fact that I President Kavanaugh regarded a drastic 1 salary limit as absolutely essential to the future welfare of the organization. When the meeting was called to order Judge kavanaugh submitted his annual
 report, which showed that the past season
 had been a good one, considering the diff

He favored making the resolu- tion so strong that any club breaking the agreement should forfeit Its franchise The question took up the entire time of the morning session and in the afternoon, after further debate. a resolution allow Ing each club only fourteen players, was adopted. The salary limit was finally fixed at a figure considerably below tS000

MERELY MARY ANN."
Eleanor Robson Appears In a Tender
 and Appealing Role.

It would be difficult to conceive of a love story that would reach the heart more surely and directly than Merely Mary Ann" It Is simple. tender and true. Pathos and the most delightful comedy are blended so happily that a tear turks behind many of the laughs and there is human element, subtle and strangely moving, in the serious passages that strikes home. A little London ''sIavey," whose gentle, trustful nature Is a reproach to this blase age. a young com poser struggling for fame. canary bird, a piano and a love song are constituent parts in the romance The play has an uplift about 1t that leaves one better after the curtain has descended on the last act. There are no problems. no frenzied moments no obtrusive worldliness, no parade of voice. The story is simple, the theme is love and the denoument is happy.
 Mary Ann is a servant in the house where young Lancelot lives poorly fin one room with his plano and his music, dream ing of the day when he shall be famous. Success comes with tardy steps, how ever, and while he is waiting for the magic knock on his door that will sum- mon him to greatness he hears another knock. that of timid Mary Ann who comes to ''do' his shoes. brush his clothes. make his fire and care for his room. Mary Ann is not impressive but has beautiful soul-a soul that looks out through her eyes and betrays itself in every move ment What is moro natural than that the composer should fall in love with her soul?
 Mary Ann gives Lancelot her canary and he is planning to take her away to a cottage where they will lead . dream life when Mary Ann falls heiress to q great fortune. Lancelot declares that

wealth Is an unsurmountable barrier to fame He takes the canary and Mary Ann treasurers a pair of his gloves with which he asked her to hid her red hands when she came to his room.
 The years pass Mary Ann has become a fine lady, while Lancelot Is a great com- poser. They meet again. Mary Ann re- pulses him at first. but Lancelot sits down to the piano and plays the old love song. Merely Mary Ann" knocks suddenly on the door. The next moment she appears. with the old gloves upon her hands and her little white cap on her head. Mary Ann did not love Lancelot but Merely Mary Ann" was still true.
 Exquisite flashes of comedy here and there kept one's thoughts from becoming too serious. A suspicious moisture in ones eyes often gave way to laughter, so quick was the transition from grave to gay.
 Miss Robson as Mary Ann created a character that will be remembered She Is not only admirably suited to the part but interprets 1t with the sympathy and fidelity of true artist She could not have found a role in which she would have been more delightful. Her support was excellent. II. B. Warner seemed to be the young composer he portrayed and was most effective in his love-making. Ernest Mainwaring and Miss Ada Dwyer were clever in the only remaining parts with possibilities.
