Theater programmes were known
even In ancient times. though they
were then Of a very peculiar consruc-
ton In Greece and Rome they con
sisted Of small tablets, which were
handed out 70 the audience at the en-
trance. Those occupying the best seats
obtained programmes beautifully work
cl In ivory. while those occupying the
cheaper seats were given tablets In
bronze.
The bronze tablets were distinguish
e1 by a dove worked in the metal. and
the term "picc.Oner.o," used in Italy
today as designating the lower priced
seats IN the theate-s, dates from this
antique custom.

THE COTTON LEAK.
Secret Service Officers Investigating
the Whole Affair.

Officers of the government secret service
are investigating the charges Of gross irreg-
ularities in the preparation and publication
of the government cotton report issued last
Friday. made by Richard Cheatham. secre-
tary of the Southern Cotton Growers Asso-
citation. AS published in The Star yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Cheatham called at the Ag-
ricultural Department yesterday morning.
and after having brief conference with
Secretary Wilson left with promise to re-
turn later in the day and present documen-
tary evidence to support his allegations.
The evidence in question was at that time
generally understood to be on it's way to
Washington from New York.
Late yesterday afternoon Mr.. Cheatham
returned to the department and laid before
Secretary Wilson the letters and papers In
question. The Secretary. after giving them
brief inspection, called upon the govern
ment secret service for aid, and thorough
and rigid investigation is now in progress
Secretary Wilson this morning declined to
discuss the Cheatham charges in any par
ticular. He admitted however that after
inspecting the evidence submitted he had
called upon the secret service for aid and
said that soon the result of the inyes-
LEGATION was made known to him he would
inform Cheatham and also make the con-
illusions public. Mr.. Cheatham was likewise
any phase of the case. He is now content,
he says, to await the result of the inyesti-
cation that is being made. and will have
nothing more to say until that is concluded
1t is not known just when the secret sery-
ice officials will finish their work, but 1t
will probably not be for several days at
least. According to the Secretary's request
the matter will be gone into very thor
oughly, indeed, and probed until the bottom
is reached. 1t is desired that when the re-
port of the investigation is. made that II
shall be complete and convincing, and that
the extremely unpleasant affair may be set
tied, one way or the other, for good and ali.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Lower Liverpool Prices and Break Sent
July Wheat Down.

CHICAGO, June Slower prices in Liv-
erpool, added to break at Minneapolis o;
over cents, sent July wheat down to S5S
here today. On smaller receipts than esti-
mated July corn advanced to 507sc. Gov
ering by shorts sent July oats up to 31Ac
After July had sold off to S4M the mar
ket suddenly turned strong. Shorts became
active bidders. causing a sharp upturn in
prices. The main cause for the improved
demand was the Kentucky crop report,
showing a decline of II points in the condi-
ton of winter wheat in that state during
the past month. The market closed at the
highest point of the day. with July up

NEW YORK, June S.-A formal vote
which has been taken by the floor members
of the New York Cotton Exchange shows
that the plan Of certifying cotton in
southern warehouses, which has been In
agitation for many months on the exchange,
has considerable opposition. The vote was
on the question of making a change In the
bylaws which would be necessary before
the plan could be adopted.
The members. by a vote of fifty-three to
forty. refused to make the required change,
and sent the amendment back to the board
of managers, with instructions to permit
the membership to vote on the plan itself.
The plan provides for warehouses where
deliveries may be made in ten southern
cities, under the supervision of officers of
the New York cotton exchange with proper
insurance provisions, and with an officer in
each city representing the exchange
