The railroads dominate the country,
they control legislation-and should

He believed that the state should
control them, while the national gov

The corporations control the gov

it under the direct supervision Of tho
government than have it under the
control of the railroad.

Miss Mabel Montgomery's "Zaza. -

When Pierre Berton wrote Zaza, he
builded better than he knew, for in
stead Of making "popular' play,
he made ciassic--a modern, Partisan
classic, and such simple classic Ev-
cry man and woman, and one child,
in it is so natural There is hardly a
thing in it that suggests literature
There is no Oscar Wildish straning
to be epigrammatic, no George Ber-
nard Shaw laboring to be smart, clev-
er, or unique. 1t is honest work from
start to finish. The story is as simple
in its elements as any in the first or
scond reader Of our schooldays, but
so finely constructed, with such hu-
man eharacterizations, such masterly
technique, powerful situations, and
dramatic finish 1t is the best play
that has come out Of France since
"The Two Orphans. That is why
folk go again and again to see it. 1t
appeals to the heart. Zaza's story has
been that of many millions Of women,
who loved, to find their love betrayed
Miss Mabel Montgomery, who will be
seen as Zaza during Oct. at the Opera
House, is the ideal Zaza, in looks and
temperament. She will he support
ed by fine company Of New York
players.

Many Fires Caused by carelessness.


During the year 1905 there were 1850
fires in Greater New York. with an esti-
mated total loss of So, 271, 955, and an aver
400 fires, with an estimated total loss
Throughout the entire country there were
$1,000 fires. with an estimated loss of $780,
100000 And they included three theaters,
three public halls, twelve churches ten
schools, two hospitals, two asylums, two
jails two colleges, twenty-six hotels and
various other buildings. The opinion of
fire insurance experts is that modern ma
terials and methods OF construction are
lesseninsthe loss at the rate of u per cent
year, but. curiously enough, the larger num-
Der of fires Is due to carelessness rather
than accident, and If people would not
around in the Indifferent way that they
do, the disasters would be very consider
ably reduced. That would be more effec-
tive than -proofing. In New York city,
fires were caused by careIessness with
matches and more than per cent by people
throwing away lighted cigars and cigar
cites.
The following table will show the causes
for fires in New York, so far as they were
definitely determined by the insurance in
spectors and fire officials:
.CareleSsneSs with matches. ...............757
Children playing with matches. PA
Lighted cigars and cigarettes. .......... .404
Careessness In the use of candles. .256
Carelessness In bonfires. .476
Careessness with kerosene Oil lamps. .165
Over-heated stove pipes. .444
Defective chimneys and fiues. ............ 439
Curtains blown against gas lights. ...2l7
There were 1851 fires in New York whose
origin could not positively be determined,
but a large part of them were due to care
lessness with matches and cigarette stumps.

HOW SHOPPERS SAVE TROUBLE.
Comments on the Practices in the
Large Shops.

''Ten dollars said lady shopper to the
clerk behind the counter, as she handed
the latter bill of this denomination.
- Ten dollars repeated the clerk, max
ing the notation on the check.
THAT lady has had some good advice or
is profting by a past experience" COM
mented man within hearing 1T is very
rare to hear a lady call out the denomina-
ton Of large bill given In exchange for
a purchase In store, but careful men do
it. A lady member of my family recently
gave clerk in one of our stores $40 bill
in exchange for purchase for a small
amount. The clerk entered the amount re-
ceived on the check as 81. When the
change and parcel were received back the
lady asked the clerk for the remaining So.
She was informed that the amount handed
in had been only ST. and the entry on the
check was produced as evidence to the floor
walker, who had been called up, that such
had been the case. The lady insisted, how
ever, that the bill had been of the denomi-
nation of $40, and as she was a well known
customer of the house her complaint was
taken up and investigated and found to
be correct. But she waited at the counter
for over an hour before she finally received
her correct change.
While this was an honest mistake on
the part of the clerk, nearly every man can
look back upon instances in his career, es-
pecially in paying for a drink when the
mistake upon the part of the individual re-
ceiving the money was intentional and
part of a systematic fiim-ham practiced by
some clerks, cashiers and walters who,
when detected, worm out of the situation
with an apology. Acrimonious disputes
may be avoided and at times money saved
by establishing a regular habit OF inva-
riably calling the denomination of bill of
over 81; you will do 1t mechanically in
little while.
Another valuable hint about shopping,
especially in Washington where there are
four sections Of the city having the same
streets and numbers, is to make it a prac-
tice of hearing the clerk repeat after you
your street address. Some stores require
their clerks to do this, but clerks are often
forgetful or negligent, while others will
write southeast when you say north
east for example. Negligence of this kind
means trip to the store the next day to
inquire into the cause of the failure to
deliver your parcel, and you are frequently
placed at great inconvenience by reason of
the error. When you are making a pur-.
chase which is to be sent home 1t is a very
easy matter for the eye of the purchaser
to follow the pencil strokes of the clerk in
entering the address on the slip. Custom
ers who follow these simple but effective
practices do not have the trouble that
others do who are less thoughtful

AS an indication that the government is
in earnest In its promises to relieve the

prominent editor and literary man of St

the members of that race in other countries:
the restrictions that are placed upon them;
the civil and religious rights which they
enjoy; their positions in the professions and
In the scientific, industrial, financial and

Knows the Bible by Heart.

William Frederick, jr., travelling sales
man for a flour milling company In Duluth,
Mimi, claims to have committed to memory
the entire Bible and that he can repeat any
passage from Genesis to Revelations. A
party of drummers at Wizards Hotel the
other day were discussing this accomplish
ment. Several of them know Mr.. Frederick
personally and were thus able to give def
mite testimony. They say that he Is not
member of any church and has never been
particularly interested in religious affairs,
but he considers the Bible the finest of all
books, always carries a portion OF the Old
or New Testament in his pocket, and for
eighteen years has devoted all of his leisure
time to committing 1t to memory. When he
Is waiting for a customer, while he is tray-
cling on the cars, or during his leisure
hours at a hotel, while other drummers are
playing billiards games of cards, or
reading newspapers or gossiping, MIR. Fred
erick is studying his Bible. and that has been
his habit ever since boyhood. He cannot
begin with the first chapter of Genesis and
repeat the text word for word to the last
chapter of Revelation without hesitation,
and, indeed, he says that he has never at
tempted such a thing, but skipping the
genealogdes and similar passages, he be-
lieves that he might do so. He frequently
repeats the Psalms, the Song of Solomon,
the book of Ruth and the gospels verbatim
without looking at the text, and is able to
quote verbatim any passage that may be
referred to. 1t is probable that he is the
only man in the world with this accom-
pliShment.

The relief OF the Jews in Russia and the
removal OF the restrictions against the
members Of that race who desire to Visit
that country looks a long way or. The
constitutional democrats Of the douma give
the subject fourth place In the program or
platform they adopted, but 1t is not likely
that they will be able to reach 1t, or be
able to do anything in that direction very
soon, while the ministry and the car now
have reason for not fulfilling their prom
Uses. They can simply say in answer to the
opportunities of foreign ambassadors ana
others interested in the amelioration of the
condition of the Jews that the subject is
before the douma and therefore they are
powerless to act. The restrictions will
therefore remain indefinitely 1t is not
likely that the passport regulations VIII De
changed No Jew can cross the border of
Russia without special permit from that
government, and that prohibition will not
soon be removed.
The late Colonel Hay took deep interest
in this subject and fought earnestly for the
removal of this restriction. Count Cassini,
while ambassador to Washington, repeated
ly assured him that it would be removed
or modified and Count Lamsdorfr, the Rus
sian minister of foreign affairs, gave similar
assurances to Ambassadors Tower and Nc
Cormick, while they were in st. Petersburg,

to Mr.. Meyer, our present ambassador. Inc
