OMIT DOLL DANCE
At PERFORMANCE
FIVE PLAYERS ARE HELD IN
CONTEMPT
Fine Of $25 ls Levied Against Menu
bers Of HotohkIss Company for
pIsobeylns Judge WlIbur's
Ruling

Pretty little Charlotte Vidot, who for
the past two weeks has marched me-
chanically through the much-talked of
doll dance at the HotchSiss theater, sat
on bench in the rotunda Of the the
ater yesterday afternoon and kicked
her heels dlsconsolately against the
floor, for the comedians failed to call
for the dance and the play went mer-
rily on.
The doll dance received a severe jolt
from Judge Wilbur in department eight
of the superior court yesterday when
he ruled that the management of the
Hotchkiss and the two German come
dians, kolb and DILL be held in con-
tempt because they had put the dance
on the stage after Judge Conrey had
issued restraining order prohibiting
the performance.
Are In Contempt
The penalty for the contempt was
f1xed at fine of $25 each for the five
defendants in the case and the money
will be paid Monday morning when
the entire case will be settled in court.
Yesterday afternoon court representa-
tives were at the Hotchklss theater,
and they watched the first act care
fully.
At certain point in the performance
of the Beauty Shop" a cabinet is put
on the stage and hideous girl placed
in 1T. The next moment the cabinet
opens and out steps the doll or rather
Mrs. Charlotte Vidot Kolb who marches
through the dance while chorus of
young women initiate her actions.
There was quiet in the theater yes
terday afternoon when the ugly young
woman marched on the stage closely
followed by two attendants bearing the
cabinet with them. The audience held
its breath in suppressed horror at the
coming infraction of the ruling of the
court, while the young person was
placed in the cabinet. The fall of a
pin could have been heard in the house
when the curtains of the cabinet were
drawn back and then
Girl Steps Out
A pretty girl stepped out Of the cab
met instead of the doll, and the Ger
man comedians seemed to enjoy the
situation as much as the audience and
the play went on, without the dance,
however
In the evening the same procedure
was adopted and that was the last of
the Beauty Shop" for today another
play will be presented
Monday morning the case will be
taken up in the superior court again on
injunction, and there the representa-
tives of the Maso1 opera house. who
have brought the suit against the
Hotchkiss theater, will give their per-
formance of the doll dance, together
with the words and lyrics. Then the
Hotchkiss representatives will stalk
through the ungainly performance to
give good idea of what the dance
reilly is.

II Rrouaht the Needed Relief

A few years ago a dear old lady, who
formerly lived in Ipswich and was a
relative of the poet Whittier, had oc-
casion to go on journey which neces-
Stated n nights ride in a sleeping car,
according to the Boston Herald. Being
subject to attacks of acute indigestion,
she took the precautlon to place a few
leaves of the commercial mustard plas-
ter in her handbag.
During the night pains, either real or
imaginary, warned her OF trouble and
prevented sleep. Deciding upon the ap-
plication of a plaster, she searched, in
the dark, for the handbag, and having
secured 1t proceeded to put one of the
leaves where it would do the most
good, and Immediately felt comforted
and enjoyed refreshing sleep until
morning.
Upon removing the plaster, what was
her astonishment to find that it was a
$40 bank note which had brought such
speedy relief

DRAGGED BACK FROM NIAGARA
Fireman Extends Ladder Almost to
Falls of Brink and Saves Man
About to Drown
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, June 3d.
Fireman Thomas Conroy and Police
man Bats early this morning rescued
Amos Sweitzer from death at the very
brink of the American falls.
Sweitzer had escaped from a hospital
in Toronto and had hurried to Niagara,
intending to commit suicide. He went
to Prospect park and entered the wa
ter at a point 500 feet from the brink
of the falls. Several hotel walters saw
him wade out into the river and sum-
moned Policeman Blake, who tried to
save the man by reaching him long
pole. Sweitzer pulled at the pole as
though he would take the officer down
to death with him.
The swift current swept Sweitzer off
his feet, and he was tumbled and tossed
down stream almost to the edge of the
precipice. He landed-o on his feet thirty
five feet out from shore and fifteen
feet back from the brink where he
stood hip deep in the torrent. Ropes
were obtained and cast to him. He
refused all aid, but still did not throw
himself over the falls.
Policeman Callihan telephoned to fire
headquarters for the truck and extern
sion ladder, and the firemen hurried to
the park accompanied by Policeman
Bats. The ladder was extended out
over the river forty feet from Prospect
point. Thomas Conroy tied a rope
about his waist, and went out to the
end of the ladder. He took hold Of
Swetzer, but the man struggled so that
he could not lift him from the water,
and then Bats went out to help.
Together the fireman and policeman
fought with Sweitzer. They conquered
and soon had Sweitzer out of the water
and on Prospect point. He was taken
to police headquarters and will be
taken back to Toronto.

From whence do fashions spring.
The "mere man. cannot apparently
understand why, one woman appears
with a "Paridise" plume rearing its
elegant foliage to dizzy heights above
the huge ornament at the side, while
the hair is absolutely straight, collie

think is achieved by a stroke of the

though both typical of the contem-
