Spend Thousands
to Save Pennies

N the court records of a number of
states may be found instances where
a dispute over few pennies cost a
small fortune. Such is the tempera-
ment of many people that they would
rather risk the loss of thousand dol
lars in costs tnan pay five cents they
did not owe, or thought they did not
owe, which is much the same thing to
a pugnacious man. In fact there is
case on record in a New England court
where suit was brought over cent.
while suits involving less than dollar
are not at all infrequent.
The baggage "smashers" on the rail-
ways are noted all the world over for
their feats Of destruction, and there are
few travellers who have not suffered at
their hands. Very few of them ever
got any satisfaction for their damaged
trunks. Among the exceptions, how
ever, was Mr.. Jepson, travelling rep

sions suffered much more severely.
Last year man from Chicago a GER
tain Mr.. Henderson, went to France for
summer holiday. The customs au-
thorities there demanded francs duty
on various things they found in his
trunks and bags. Believing he knew
better and that the utmost amount he
could lawfully be called upon to pay
was 7 francs, he rendered that amount
and fatty declined to pay more.
The customs officers therefore de-
clined to pass his baggage, and gave
the traveller the choice Of re-embarking
or leaving his luggage in their possess
sion until a more liberal view Of the
case should overtake him and induce
him to disburse the ST. He chose the
latter alternative, went ON to Paris,

LOSS TO ART KEENLY FELT
Francis Wilson Expresses Sincere
Grief at IrVing's Death
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-Warm tributes
to the memory of Sir Henry Irving were
expressed last night by Chicago
theatrical managers and members of
the profession now playing here.
I'm the death of Sir Henry Irving we
have lost a truly great actor" said Miss
Blanche Walsh. His characteriZations
in The Bells 'Richelieu' and Iago'
were superb. He will be mourned by
every man, woman and child in the
theatrical profession.
Every one who knew him loved him
for the great and kidnly qualities he
possessed. and he was never too proud
to speak to anybody. This fact was
demonstrated by the warm welcome h6
always had for stage hands and other
attaches Of theaters. 1t is certain they
will mourn his death fully as much as
the performers"
Francis Wilson, who knew Sir Henry
Irving for years, was much affected
when told of his death.
THE head and front of the dramatic
profession has been lost" said Mr..
Wilson. "No man since the days of
David Garrick reflected so much glory
on the stage as did Sir Henry Irving.
He was a man of beautiful character,
of high ideals, and beloved by all. 1
regret he did not live to see his wish
that of establishing a national theater-
realized. If his life had been spared
a few years longer I believe that would
have become a reality"

INcENpIARIsM AT PORTLAND

BY ASSOCIATED Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 14.-It is pos
sible that the fire which destroyed the
Missouri building at the Lewis and
Clark exposition last night was of in
cendiary origin. F. E. Beach, a prom
inent business man of this city, claims
to have seen the fire spring up from a
pile of rubbish back of the burned build
ing. This would indicate that the fire
did not start from defective electric
wiring as was at first thought to have
been the case. A young man named
Mcdonald says he saw three men try
ing to scale a fence near the Missouri
building Immediately before the fire
broke out.

TRIBUTES ARE MANY
Prominent Members of the Profession
GrieVe at Loss of Leader

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-To the actors,
managers and theater-going public of
New York the news of the death of Sir
Henry Irving came as an overwhelm-
ing blow. Many declared last night
that the stage has lost its greatest
friend and the drama one of the most
marvellous of it's interpreters that ever
lived. Following are some of the
tributes paid to the memory of Sir
Henry:
Richard Mansfield: Irving was my
dear friend and it is impossible at the
moment to say all that I feel. He
and I had one last supper together a
season ago in the Plaza, which is now
no more. His farewell words to me
were: One day We'll have a little cot
tage together somewhere I can only
think now of those words of Schiller:
What would we not give to raise
again a spirit such as his. An atom
of his soul would make god of you ="
John Drew: II am intensely shocked
to hear of the death of Sir Henry Irv-
ing. My acquaintance with him
made upon his first visit to this coun-
try, when I was a young man in
Daly's company-ripened into friend
ship when L went to England to play
in The Tanning of the Shrew' with
that company-a friendship am
proud and happy to feel lasted to the
end. 1t would ill become me to speak
of him as an actor. I can only grieve
with the English-speaking world at his
unlocked for taking off"
James K. Hackett: 1.-The death of Sir
Henry Irving came to me much in the
nature of a personal loss. I doubt if
any man Of this generation has done
so much to bring about the serious
consideration of dramatic art and its
aims as he"
Daniel Frohman: "Sir Henry's death
is most regrettable. He simply worked
himself to death. He might have lived
longer had he not worked so hard. His
success as an actor was triumph
over certain physical limitations. His
great intellectual qualities established
him as the greatest Shakespearian in.
| terpreter in England"
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison Grey Fiske
"In common with all who love the
stage the news of Henry Irvings death
is a great shock. The loss to the
people of England and America, who
were made equally proud of him as g
commanding international dramatic
figure, will be keenly felt, while tc
his profession it will be irreparable."

Going to Bed Hungry
It Is All Wrong and Man Is the Only
Creature That Does II.

The complete emptiness of the stom-
ach during sleep adds greatly to the
amount of emaciation, sleeplessness and
general weakness so often met with.
There is a perpetual change of tissues
in the body, sleeping or waking, and the
supply of nourishment ought to be some
what continuous, and food taken just
before retiring adds more tissue than is
destroyed. and increased weight and
vigor is the result. DR.. W. T. Cathell
says: "Au animals except man eat be-
fore sleep, and there is no reason in
Nature why man should form the excep-
ton to the rule"
II people who are thin, nervous and
sleepless would take a light lunch of
bread and milk or oatmeal and cream,
and at the same time take safe harm
less stomach remedy like Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets in order to aid the stom-
ach in dgesting it, the result will be a
surprising increase in weight, strength
and general vigor. The only drawback
has been that thin, nervous, dyspeptic
people cannot digest and assimilate
wholesome food at night or any other
time. For such it is absolutely necessary
to use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, be-
cause they will digest the food, no mat
ter how weak the stomach may be, nour-
ishing the body and resting the stomach
at the same time.
DR.. Stevenson says: "I depend almost
entirely upon Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
in treating Indigestion, because it is not
a quack nostrum, and L know just what
they contain, combination of vegetable
essences, pure pepsin. They cure Dys-
pepsia and stomach troubles, because
they can't help but cure" Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are sold by druggists
everywhere at so cents per package.
They are in lozenge form, pleasant to
take, and contain nothing but pure pep
sin. vegetable essences and bismuth,
scientifically compounded. Your drug

GATE KEEPER PREVENTS
PRESENTATION OF CUP
CEREMONIES HELD AT TERMINAL
WITHOUT TROPHY
Railway Official Suspects Box Con-
tanning Lipton's Gift to Be Freight
and Refuses to Permit 1t Aboard
the Cars, and 1t Is Left Behind

Interference by gate keeper at the
Huntington building disarranged the
plans of officers of the South Coast
Yacht club for the presentation of the
Sir Thomas Upton trophy cup, which
was to have been the chief feature of
the annual banquet by members of the
club at Terminal island last night.
The cup was put up last year by Sir
Thomas and the San Diego club Sc
cured the cup. The Los Angeles
yachtsmen then sent east and bought
the Detroit one of the fastest lake
yachts in the country.
Accordingly, when the Los Angeles
yachts went south last year. the De-
troit ran away from all other contest
ing boats. Commodore B. Erkenbrech-
er evened up the score by slipping
down to San Diego during the winter
season and buying the mighty little
vessel.
San Diego yachtsmen this year wit
messed the sght of their former vessel
brought back and sailed against them
by the Los Angeles club and again the
Detroit won and the fine cup came
north and was put on exhibition at
the Jonathan club.
Several days ago Erkenbrecher or
dered the cup prepared for the Term
inal island presentation banquet, and
he called for it last night only to find
that some club attendant had carefully
packed the huge silver ever in an
enormous box.
Gate Keeper Interferes
When members of the club attempted
to take the box through the gate al
the Huntington building last night
they were stopped, and no amount o1
persuasion was sufficient to convince
that gate keeper that the cup was
not freight.
Therefore the clubites had no Liptor
cup, but they acted as though the cur
was present and they made many
speeches regarding it.
Nearly a dozen magnificent cups were
presented last night to the various win.
ners of the past season, and after g
| banquet several of the prominent mem
bers were called upon to reply tc
toasts.
Edward Evans. toastmaster, an.

Secretary F. Overton responded with
a toast to the outer harbor, in which ht
pleaded with the members to awaker
enthusiasm in the club, secure new
members and prepare for the building
of $4,000 clubhouse on the bluff ovel
the outer harbor.
T. j. Hampton spoke of yachting
abroad. Then came the presentation OF
cups.
Among the first was the presentation
of a beautiful cup to Carlisle Thorpe
1t was the Cabrillo cup, presented by

CANAL PROJECT TOO COSTLY
BY Associated Press.

DS ASSOCldJSu GTSSS
CHICAGO, Oct. IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington, D. c.,
says:
In the opinion of army engineers
100000 of the governments money has
been thrown away on a useless survey
Of the Illinois and Mississippi canal to
ascertain If a 14-foot channel can be
made from Chicago to vt. Louis. The
survey, which has been made by two
commissions, has just been completed
and the reports have been received by
Brigadier General Mckenzie, chief of
engineers, who will transmit them to
congress.
The reports, while admitting that a
14-foot channel is perfectly feasible,
say that the cost would be from $S000,-
900 to $1O,OO0OOO. The engineers deem
this amount too great and will, it is
believed, report adversely to the pro-
ject in view of the great cost.

Pays Highest Tribute
In the New York Tribune today VIII
liam Winter will say, in part:
I'm the death of Henry Irving the
stage has lost it's most illustrious
figure and the world has lost q great
benefactor. He was not only the man
ager of a theater; he was, in every
part of the world that he visited, the
manager of intellectual society, and his
influence was felt all along the line OF
social life. He was a great actor
certainly the greatest actor of his
time, and so far as the printed records
of the stage enables a studious OBJ
server to judge, he was the greatest
actor that ever lived.
Henry Irving lived TO DleSS man
kind. and in his death-which is a
universal bereavement-he leaves an
immortal memory of genius and good
ness and an immortal example of all
that is heroic and beautiful in the
conduct of life"
Lifted Stage From Decadence
In his address, "The Theater and the
Public" which William Winter deliv-
cred before the Friday Morning club,
and which will be repeated Wednes-
day evening, October is, in new SYM
phony hall, Blanchard building, in de-
scribing the forces which have en-
nobled and dignifed the theater, the
veteran poet and critic spoke the fol-
lowing words of tribute to Henry Irv-
ing only a few hours before his friend
of thirty years passed away:
above all. and notwithstanding
every adversely of materialism, in a
teemtng civilization of luxury and
greed Henry Irving, lifting the Eng
lish stage out of ignominious deca-
dence and raising it to such glory as it
never knew before made the whole
world resound with acclammaion of
his great deeds, his affluent genius, his
passionate integrity of purpose, his
