POLO FALLING OFF.

Lack of Central Meeting Ground
 Proves . Drawback to Game.
 One great drawback to the develop ment of polo is that there Is no central meeting ground in the United States. the same as there is in England at Hurlingham.s In America the polo clubs are scattered over a wide area. and It is a matter of considerable ex- pense for the players to take part in the different tournaments. which of late have resolved themselves largely into local affairs.
 In the springtime Philadelphia makes the best showing of any city in which polo Is played. and the Rockaway and Meadowhrook (N- Y.l tournaments In late years had a very good list of en- tries. but the best team is 90 top heavy that the others have no chance for the big events.

DEMAND INDICATION
Spirit of Revolt In Russia
 Still Spreading.
ODESSA LOYALISTS MURDER AND ROB.
Five Thousand Reported Killed and Wounded-Jewish Dead Strew the Streets - Authorities Are
 Paralyxed.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 3.-From nearly all parts of the Russian empire comes news indicating that the spirit of revolt is still spreading. In Finland the red flag has everywhere been rais- ed and placed on all official buildings, side by side with the national ensign
 Armed forces are reported to be marching on Helsingfors, the capital of Finland, bringing with them artil- lery.
 The democratic and revolutionary parties have succeeded in holding a great mass meeting at the capital, at which nothing less than the abdication of the czar and the formation of a re- public was demanded.
 At Odessa anarchy is rampant. Kill ing and plundering by bands formed of hundreds of "loyalists" continued. Attacks on the Hebrews are incessant The nights are made hideous by bodies of "loyalists' with whom the police are fraternizing marching through the prin- cipal streets bearing national flags, portraits of the emperor and ikons, singing the national hymn, smashing everything in their way and footing shops and houses.
 The casualties are believed to have amounted to 5000 killed and wounded. In the Jewish quarter bodies sti1l strew the streets and sidewalks
 Jewish women and children were strangled and hacked to pieces in the streets where the mobs gained the up per hand. A Red Cross doctor said that the Kishineff horrors were repeated hundredfold.
 The students alone saved the city from wholesale sack and massacre. The military are now placing hun dred machine guns at various points. Twenty-six cases of wounded have just passed my door,
 The sound of firing is again moving westward toward the Jewish quarters. The mobs swear they will not leave single Jew alive.
 Troops wrecked terrible vengeance on occupants of three houses from the balconies of which shots had been fired upon them. They immediately stormed the houses and with unheard of bar parity massacred all the inhabitants. It is asserted that the. persons who fired on the troops were disguised po- licemen who purposely provoked the troops.
 At Warsaw the Social Democrats have issued a proclamation calling for revolution. Polish flags were dis played from many balconies, and a mass meeting of all political parties was held in Philharmonic hall to dis cuss the situation. Great crowds sur rounding the building sang patriotic songs. NJ s .t ItP now appears that thirty persons were killed and more than d hundred ! wounded during the conflicts there.
 Instead of the expected abolition of martial law the military governor had the walls covered with procIamations that in consequence of the crowds assembling in the streets will be dispersed by force of arms

Alice Nielsen's Retuyn From Foret;gn Glory v H. B..
 IrVing's Coming Tisit.

Alice Nielsen arrived in New York recently after. four and a half years absence from her native shores
 Four and a half years have not told severely upon the American singer in personal appearance, though they have been full of experience. She went abroad in 1901 as comic opera star, fresh from the triumphs of "The For tune Teller" in New York; She returns as star of grand opera and concert. There has been plenty of hard work meanwhile.
 Tt is so good to be back" she ex- claimed to the writer.
 Miss Nielsen will go at once into re- hearsal for n tour of concert with or chestra, which will begin at. Washing ton or Baltimore and extend to the Pa cific coast. New York will be included later on. The first metropolitan per- formance will be given at the Casino
 Her principal accompanists are Mario Pratt, tenor. and Francesca Fratodi, baritone. There are three others, of whom two have been selected and one more is yet to be selected. The former are Signorina Bassani, contralto. and Signor Articci, bass The concerts will consist of selections from "Rigoletto," "La Boheme" and other operas.
 And there is Manager Russell, who will not only accompany Miss Nielsen as impresario in this venture, as he has in about everything she has done for the last four years, but will lecture on his own account upon voice produc- tion. Mir. Russell is something of a much' himself. The son of noted English musician, he is himself well known as voice culturist. His chief claim to distinction is that he restored the voice of Eleanora Duse
 Soon after Miss Nielsen's arrival in Europe in 1901 Mr. Russell took her to Italy. A year later she appeared at London hall for her debut in grand opera, with Nlkisch as conductor. She was well received and went back to Italy, where her operatic career began at small theater in Naples as Mar guerite in Faust" In the following year she appeared at the San Carlo, which is the principal theater in Ma ples, thirteen times in La Traviata."
 She subsequently, went to Covent Garden and year ago was prima don

 Then came the reception of Admiral Sands for the British and American officers, brilliant affair, after which the prince returned to his flagship to shift into evening dress for Admiral Evans dinner.
 Prince Louis found time between the dress parade and the reception to re- turn the call of the mayor of Annapo- lis. who called on board the Drake to offer the admiral prince the freedom of Maryland's capital.

President Calls on Nation te Observe
 Thursday, Nov. 30.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. President Roosevelt has declared Thursday, Nov. 90, Thanksgiving day. The proclama. ton is as follows:
 When nearly three centuries ago the first settlers came to the country which has now become this great republic they fronted not only hardship and prI- walton, but terrible risk to their lives. In those grim years the custom grew of setting apart one day in each year for a special service of thanksgiving to the Almighty for preserving the peo- pie through the changing seasons.
 During the past year we have been blessed with bountiful crops. Our bust ness prosperity has been great No oth- CT people has ever stood on as high q level of material well being as ours now stands. We are not threatened by foes from without. The foes from whom we should pray to be delivered are our own passions. capacities and follies. and against these there ls al- ways need that we should war.
 Therefore l now set apart Thurs- day. the 30th of this November. as c day of thanksgiving for the past and of prayer for the future. and on that day ask that throughout the land the people gather in their homes and places of worship and in rendering thanks unto the Most High for the manifold blessings of the past year eonsscrsts themselves to >lIfe of cleanliness. honor and wisdom. so that this nation may do it's allotted work on the earA in a manner worthy of those who founded # and of those who preserved ft.-

 Last summer began her notable sea- son at the opening of the Shuberts' Waldorf in London, alternating with Duse Her repertory was extensive, and she won success. Then talk of her appearing under the management of Florenz Ziegfeld began.
 She feels quite equal to the trials of concert tour in the United States. Her farewell appearance in England was at the Philharmonic in Liverpool.
 It will come as pleasant news to all American theater goers to learn that Henry B. Irving. son of the late Sir Henry Irving, will follow in the foot steps of his distinguished father and make an occasional tour of this coun- try. Tom W. Ryley announced recent ly that he held n contract with MT. IT, wing to appear in New York in ''The Jury of Fate" at the conclusion of the London run of the piece.
 'The Jury of Fate" is the play by c. NJ. s. Mcclellan that will succeed '"The Walls of Jericho" at MT. Ryley's Shaftesbury theater. It will necessi- tate a massive production, one of the scenes consisting of panorama effect requiring the use of a revolving stage. The Shuberts were the first to acquire the American rights of the piece. and since their sale of their interest has never been announced 1t is assumed that they will be interested with Mfr. Ryley in tic American production.
