THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AMERl
CAN PLAY EVER STAGED.

All who have seen Klaw & Erlang-
ers colossal and brilliant production
of Ben Hur" agree that nothing more
beautiful, inspiring, spiritual and edi-
flying than the Healing of the Lep-
ers'' in the last act of that stupendous
spectacle has ever been offered on the
stage of the American theater. At
this point this great play is most truly
and in high sense religious" Here
the stage seems to have consecrated
itself and all it's resources to the serv-
ices of Christianity, and there is moth
ing that is not reverent, beautiful and
altogether fitting in it's service. This
scene shows that the stage may be
given over to uses wholly worthy, high
ly commendable, and which cannot fail
to exert the greatest possible blessing
on mankind-that of bringing home
with immense force and dignity the
eternal truth and verify of the birth
into the world of Jesus, the Saviour OF
mankind.
ben Hur" is booked for the entire
week of October End with matinee per-
formances on Wednesday and Satur-
day, at the Spokane Theatre. When it
was presented in Spokane two sea,
sons ago it created sensation, and
was unanimously conceded to be the
largest and most brilliant dramatic
spectacle that ever toured the west
Dan Weaver, manager of the Spo'
kane theatre, will pay special attention
to orders from people of the Inland
Empire for seats through the mail, pro
viding the order is accompanied by re
mittance and a self addressed envel
ope for reply. The advance sale OF
seats for the Spokane engagement is
now on. Special railroad rates-see

The announced purpose of Senator
W. A. Clark and his associates to ex-
tend the San Pedro, Los Angeles &

The feature of last week in mining
circles at Rossland, B. c., was the
announcement that the lie ROi has
started preparations for deepening its
main five compartment shaft below

1925 a foot The first train of ore
from the LIE Roi for the Trail smelter,
under it's new three year contract, has
been sent.
Superintendent A. B. W. Hodges OF
the CRANKY Consolidated states that he
has finally been able to blow in one
of the two new and larger furnaces
recently installed at the company S
smelling works at Grand Forks, but
was only able to do this by blowing
out one of the six smaller blast fur
naces. The only reason for not hav
ing all eight furnaces in blast now is
the lack of power.
It is reported that No. 6 tunnel OF
the Morning mine at Mullan has en-
countered the You Like vein, and has
crosscut it for II feet, in high grade

Ava Willing, a beauty of Philadelphia.
She was married to Mr.. Astor in Feb
ruary, 1891.
The first John Jacob Astor was
financial success of the first rank. In
1889 he was a merchant In New York,
who dealt In furs and pianos, certainly
q most singular combination. Five
years before that he was a poor immt-
grant working for 81 a week as de-
livery boy to a German baker. In the
course Of time, attaining success as a
merchant, he began to put his money
into land and, his prophesy Of the
growth Of New York having been verl-
fed, he became wealthy. He was the
| richest man in the city and worth the
then fabulous sum of 100000.
The two present heads of the Aston
house are William Waldorf, who lives
in England, and John Jacob, OF New
York. To-day the combined Astor es-
tate Is estimated at $45O,000,OO0, and
1t Is said will reach $1,000 100000 be-
fore many years pass. William Waldorf
Astor is a keen-sighted business man,

been interested in literature and scien-
tif1c subjects, but in real estate matters
he has been quite content to follow
the lead of his more progressive cou-
sin. The English Astor Is worth about
three times as much as John Jacob,
but the latter manages to worry along
somehow on about $1OO,0OO,0OO. The
wealth Of the Astors Is in land, and
writer, William S. Bridgman, says
their fortune does not depend, as most
of the others do to greater or less ex-
tent, upon the life Of any individual
or individuals. Industries may change
and fuctuate, railroads may be injured
by new competition or new inventions
but nothing can stay the expansion OF
the American metropolis; and 1t can
not expand without paying an ever
greater tribute into the Astor Golfers

Kaiser Races n Train.

The Kaiser's recent Journey from
Hanover to Hamburg, a distance Of
about 100 miles, was accomplished in
about three and a half hours.
Owing to the rain, the Emperor had
intended to travel In the royal train,
but the weather becoming fine he ex-
pressed his intention Of making the
journey by motor car In order to enjoy
the beauties Of the Luneburger Heath,
across which he would have to pass.
In the forest the royal train, which
had left Hanover shortly after the
Kaiser, came in sight.
His majesty Immediately gave or
ders to his chauffeur to quicken speed,
and the motor, a Mercedes car, dashed
forward at the rate of about sixty
miles an hour.
His majesty enjoyed the sensati IN
Immensely, and was anxious to race
the royal train. He had long express
ed desire to see such q race, and had
maintained that on straight road the
automobile would win. The race was
entered upon with great zest, but ow-
ing to the curying Of the road had to
| be abandoned
Near Celle the royal car met with
an accident. A loud report was
| heard, the automobile staggered, turn
ed, tilted sideways. and almost pitch
ed into the ditch. One Of the tires had
| burst.
The Emperor continued his journey
to Hamburg on a car which was fol.

Woman, the Rage of London.

Woman, the Rage of London.
Many Americans, and especially
those who look with longing eyes to-
ward the top round of the social lad
der are fond of saying in knowing
and rather convincing manner that
Mrs So and So, wealthy leader in
society, has gained her place "by sheer
charm Of MANNER" and that Mrs.
Blank, multl-millionaire's Wife
holds her envied position In the fash
ionable world simply through grace
of character" or sweetness Of disposi-
ton" AS a matter Of fact it often
seems to the everyday, common
people that character" or personal
| ity" has very, very, little to do with
| the process of getting into society
Unlimited wealth, the knowledge OF
how to spend 1t and a very ordinary
disposition make q much more popular
combination among smart people
than do a manner Charming" "fas
cinating," sweet" "loyable," etc, etc.

until he was within less than 100 feet
OF it, when he appIled the emergency

PENSACOLA, FLORIDA. FRIDAY MORNING, JULY H. 1906
BY Associated Press.

Odessa, July 1S.-Twenty-four leaGt
ers of the recent disturbances here
were hanged at various prisons to-day
and seventeen more are to be publicly
executed upon the arrival mere of Gen.
eral Ignatieff.
The battleship Pobledonosez has ar
rived with fresh crew to take sixty
seven mutineers to Sebastopol for trial
by courtmartial
OF two hundred persons charged
with incenriarism or robbery during
the recent riots, seventy-four were
acquitted to-day owing to lack of evil
dence and twenty-eight were sentenced
six weeks Imprisonment. This extra
ordinary outcome of the trials has
aroused much comment here. 1t is
openly asserted that it is a political
demonstration against the military
government and furnishes evidence of
a conflict between the municipality
and the government, as the judges are
elected by the people.
