the situation. Modern melodramas
and comedies depend, In a great meas
ure, upon scenic and mechanical ef-
fects. The majority Of companies
presenting this class OF plays, carry
with them special scenery and para.
phernalia for that purpose, but this
material is constructed on scale too
large to be utilized to advantage in
these theaters. The consequence is
that when many of these theatrical
organizations visit that section OF the
country. they are unable to make any
use OF the scenic equipment they pos
sess. This invariably results In dis
appointment to many local theater-
goers and Is decided drawback to
whatever merit their dramatic produc-
tions may possess.

remedy this serious defect by carry.

Albany, Aug. 9.-This morning found
200 men still toiling over the wreck

department store. Eleven bodies,
many of them mangled almost be-
yond recognition, have been taken
from the ruins, and one woman died
after being taken to the hospital. The
known dead list which last night
numbered only five, has been more
than doubled by the addition of the
following employees: Mary McAver,
Anna eastman, Theresa Bauer. Eta
Sprinkle, Grace Erner. Helen Malone,
John Thower In addition to these
it Is almost certain fifteen or twenty
bodies still remain in the ruins. Fifty

PEACE CONFERENCE

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 9.-The
first session of the peace conference
has been concluded. 1t lasted about
an hour. No business was done be.
sides exchanging credentials and ar
ranging program for future sessions.
Shortly after the plenipotentiaries en-
tered the navy general store, it was
learned that NJ. Witte and Baron Ko-
mura exchanged compliments, the lat
ter, however, using Mr.. Honda as in
terpreter, as neither Baron Komura
nor Mr.. 1akahira are very familiar
with French, while M. Witte, although
understanding English in reading 1t,
cannot speak 1t. Immediately after
this formality the ENJOYS proceeded to
exchange their credentials. The first
points to be considered were the de.
termination of the official language
or languages to be used and then
taking up the program to be followed
each day. Russia prefers French and
Japan English.
The envoys agreed that the Eng
lish and French languages shall be
used jointly and the official minutes
shall be recorded in both languages.
On behalf Of Baron Komura and NJ
Takahira. Mr.. Sato handed the fol-
lowing official statement regarding
this mornings meeting:
Todaly's meeting was informal for
the purpose of settling the method of

tomorrow morning at $50. The meet
ings will be held twice a day. one
from $50 to 1890 and the other
800 to $50 or o'clock in the at
ternoon, subject to such notifications
as may be agreed upon later. No SER
ious business was transacted at the
mornings session.

REFUSES TO MAKE UP
Divorced Wife Has Former Hus.
band Arrested for Efforts

Joseph Jungwirth says there is no
such thing as divorce, and that court
cecrees to the contrary, he proposes to
cleave to the wife of his bosom.
Jungwirth is pretty well known in
police court circles. He has been ar
crested for gambling a good many times
and divorced once. The lady who
formerly bore Jungwirth's classic cog
nomen is Mrs. Seidenkranz. She has
trouble whenever Jungwirth gets tight.
Yesterday Jungwirth acquired an
enthusiasm in the course of his patri-
otic peregrinations, and whenever he
gets enthusiastic he wants bygones to
be bygones, invariably calling on Mrs.
Seidenkranz to forgive and forget
The lady heartlessly informs him that
he is bygone of the most distant
past. and this attitude on the part of
his former spouse puts Jungwirth into
bomb throwing frame of mind. He
throws anything that comes handy and
pays the penalty in the police court
Yesterday the old man called at the
store of Mrs. Lanpher on East Seventh
street to see his former wife. He was
under the influence of liquor and the
women told him to walk. He threw
chair at Mrs. Lanpher, who seemed
none the worse for wear when she ap-
peared against Jungwirth, but who
sWore that the chair hit her and was
smashed to fragments. Jungwirth
called attention to the fact that the
furniture was of outrageously flimsy
manufacture nowadays anyway, and
that chair of cheap construction
could not legitimately be considered a
dangerous weapon.
The court sentenced Jungwirth to
ten days for drunkenness and fifteen
for throwing the chair, which the old
man declared was a manifest injustice
since he had merely celebrated the vir-
tues and achievements of Mr.. Wash
ington, and under the inspiration of
that gentleman's memory attempted to
renew relations with his wife in ac-
cordanCe with the biblical Injunction.
