Observation-Disclosures

At the Chicago opera house a
brilliant revival of Land of Nod
has been made with such instant sue
cess that the big theatre is crowded
at every performance. With new
scenery, new costumes and a company
including nearly all the old favorites
and some new ones, this popular ex-
S traVaganza seems likely to repeat it's
remarkable success of last season
when it ran out the entire summer
season at the Home of Extrava-
CANA"
Although the company is larger
and the production finer than those
usually offered in Chicago at $3.50
the management of the opera house
has established a scale of prices rang
ing far below anything ever before
eXacted for a great standard show.
As this will be the only musical en-
tertainment of its class in Chicago
for some time to come visitors to the
city viii doubtless be pleased to see
so smart show at price less than
half the standard rate.
Mabel Barrison whose success as
Bonnie" has made her a star con-
tinues to improve this dainty role
while Knox Wilson'S April Fool has
raised him into the frcnt rank OF
eccentric comedians. The famous
.Iadcaps are still holding notable
features and Walter Stanton's Giant
Rooster and fighting bantam are i'm
portant elements iii the startling
nightmare palace scene. All the
other original characters such as the
Rarebit, Man in the Moon Rory Bory
Alice. Knock Out Drops. Chorus Girl
and Jack Of Hearts are represented
by skilled artists long identified
with these roles. while the beauty
chorus is thought to be the best
singing organization ever heard in
the Chicago opera house.

Russell Sage, multimillionaire, and
Nestor of United States fnanciers, was
born on Aug. 4, 1916, in Verona, Onei-
da county. \. Y At the age of II
years Russell began his career as an
errand boy in the grocery store of his
brother Henry in Troy. At the age of
% he established a wholesale grocery
of his own in that place. In 1857 the
young merchant had acquired for
tune estimated at almost half a mil
lion dollars, a vast amount for those
days, and determined to retire from
active business life.
He had, however, already become in
terested in railroads, his first transac-
ton OF this character being Il loan to
ae Lacrosse Railroad company. which
led to further transactions resulting in
~ acquiring large interests This de
termined Sage to devote his future en-
ergies to operations in Wall street, and
in 1863 he opened his first office at
New York.
About 1872 Sage originated the sys-
tenn of trading in puts" and "call~s
and 'straddles," in which he continued

Embrofaered ParasoI.

Something novel in the way of an
embroidered parasol is shown in the
illustration, and, with the growing
fondness for having all Of ones per-
sonal belongings marked, it is fair to
suppose that the initial or monogram
parasol will have great vogue At
present only linen sunshades are
marked in this way, and the letters
are always worked solid and not too
heavily padded. To be effective the
monograms or interlaced initials should
be four or five inches high and not too

An Economical Fashion.

That deep band of color used to edge
the coverings of down quilts or the
lightweight cotton filed ones so salts
factory for summer weather is there
for a purpose quite aside from that of
beauty or effectiveness. 1t is always
the edges that soil first, and it was to
protect them that the bands Of solid
color, usually much darker than the
material Of the quilt, were first used.
If your summer quilts haven't these
bands they are easily applied and as
easily ripped off and fresh ones substi-
tuted when they finally succumb to
soil. Only choose q material that is
closely enough woven, SO that the de-
sign of the foundation may not show

Washington, Dec. MARTIN i
Eisele. superintendent of the proper
ty of the United States Government
at Hot Springs, Ark. is decidedly an
CRY. In his report to Washington this
week he grows almost vitriolic over
the nations laxity in permitting q
municipality to spring up at the
Threshold of the reservation, thus
permitting a state of affairs highly
obnoxious to the sick and over which
the government can exercise no CON
troll
However, Mr.. Eisele says "the uses
of the waters have constantly broad
ened, until now they cover almost the
entire field of human ailments, and
are growing in favor with the suffer
ing" He declares that during the
year ended June 30, last, the sick
soldiers and sailors on the reserva-
ton took 152 ,935 baths, at a net cost
to the government of 21a cents each.
He urges an additional appropria-
ton to erect a new and modern bath
house.
Official Washington is heartily in
accord with Superintendent Eisele's
complaints and requests. The wat

favor here.
