PLANS WORLDS
MUNICIPAL CONGRESS
(Scripps News Association

Ii LONDON, Jan. 6.-Sir Edwin
Cornwall, chairman of the London
County Council, has issued to the
press for publication a proposal for
an international congress of repre-
sentatives Of capitals having a pop
ulation of more than 100000. to
meet annually for the discussion of
municipal methods. Sir Edwin
says he is encouraged to make this
suggestion by the good results fol-
lowing the recent exchange of
amenities between the London
Cuonty Council and the Paris Mu-
nicipal Council. He also proposes
an exchange of pupils between the
schools controlled by the munich
palities holding membership in the
congress.

WASHINGTON THEATER.

The bill at the new Washington
theater for the next week Is re-
plete with good things, and those
who have seen the performances
of the past few weeks have come
to expect a first class show. Man
ager Cordray has so far succeeded
in getting a number of first class
attractions for the new vaudeville
house and next weeks offering
promises to be no exception.
The three Haides, Russian dane
ers, head the list of attractions for
next week. Dida, one Of the great
est illusion acts that has ever been
seen on a vaudeville stage, will be
seen for the first time in Spokane
next week. Veolette and Old put
on a telepathic act that Is mystify-
ing in the extreme, while the COM
edy sketch of Mr.. and Mrs. Young
is said to be much better than the
ordinary. The Great Richards,
sensational serpentine dancer, and
the two Martelles, trick bicyclists,
make up the balance of a program
that should prove a strong one.

FOUR WOMEN WHO DISCUSS THE ABOVE QUESTION

| The average housewife can live
comfortably on $4,000 to $4,000
year. That, of course, does not
include a box at the opera, fancy
dress balls, carriages, servants,
automobiles and other domestic
necessities. The woman with $685.
600 year can live a comfortable,
quiet life"
MRS. THOS. ]. VIVIAN, presi-
dent of the California club, said:
MRS. Burke-Roche could live on
much less than 100000 a year if
she made up her mind to do it.
However. know that there is ter
rife financial pressure on society
women. They must be patronesses
of charity, give balls, theater and
opera parties, belong to clubs and
dress accordingly. Sixty thousand
dollars a year is a fair allowance
in my opinion"
MRS. DORE LYON, prominent
in many clubs and societies, said:
"The amount of money necessary
to a woman depends entirely upon
the circle Of society in which she
moves. If she has a town house,
country residence, automobiles,
horses and carriages, and literally

THE "SHO-GUN" OPERA.

The "Sho-Gun" was pronounced
by many, after last nights presen-
tation at the Spokane, as the ablest
piece of George AIDES work so far
seen here. The lines are certainly
Ade's-they have hiS trade mark
all over them. Unlike many such
operas, the ideas developed are
not carried so far that they be-
come tiresome. AIDE has contented
himself with a legitimate display
of his talents. He has not bored
his hearers.
The music is charming. It's
strong feature is its even adjust
ment to AIDES taking lines. There
are no exceptional spurts, no me-
teoric climaxes followed by medi-
ocrity. 1t is excellently judged all
the way through and leaves beau.
tiful flavor behind without a single
panied sensibility. 1t continues
this afternoon and evening.

When O'Brien beat Bob Fitzsim-

NINE. CALVE, PRIMA DONNA.

Unlike the great majority of pri-
ma donnas, Madame Calve is most
approachable, and does not pre-
tend to surround herself with an
icy hauteur, exhibited as an indi-
cation of genius.
Reports from the east say she
is highly pleased at the prospect
Of her long American tour, for as
she states: "If l had gone out in
opera, l would have been confined
to the larger cities and would not
have seen the better part of the
country"
The members of Nine. Calves
company who will be with her in
Spokane, are newcomers, but the
reports of their abilities are most
fiattering.
M. Bouxmann, the basso, is spok-
en- of as one of the greatest living
singers, and his press notices in
France and Belgium bear out the
contention. Mr.. Derrick Won Nor
den, the tenor, is. a native of New
York, but has long been abroad,
and his work has also been very
highly commended. The other
members of the company are equal
ly as good.
There will undoubtedly be a ire
mendous audience to greet Nine.
Calve and her company at the
Spokane on Monday evening, Jan.
Is, as there has been some COM
ment on her departure from the

Heart Trouble

The heart itself has no power-no

or lrregularity at any point is apt

arises from stomach trouble through

THE SCRATCHIEST HOME PUN

According to Joe Quinn, the
"scratchiest home run that ever
happened" was made one day on
the Des Moines grounds. The field
at the Iowa metropolis is narrow
box like affair, with the side fences
on either side so close that it is
easy to knock ball over them. For
convenience gates were cut in the
sides so the ground keeper could
go out after the balls.
The Des Moines team was play
ing Colorado Springs one day and
the home team was at bat. Quinn
was at that time manager o. the
Des Moines team, and three of his
team had preceded him and were
occupying the cushions when he
stepped to the bat. One or two
good ones passed and then Joe land
ed on good one. Straight past
third 1t went so fast that Granville,
the best third baseman in the
league, never tagged it. Just as it
reached the fence some power from
the outside pushed the gate open
and without skip or a bounce the
ball went through. The attendant
was away and all the Springs team
could do was to look at the 20 foot
fence and sigh, while Quinn, pre-
coded by his three teammates, COM
pleted the circuit of the sacks.

patronizes the various arts and
gives consistently to charities, her
allowance must necessarily be
large. Money is the one thing
that counts in the really smart
set. l call $4,000 year fair
allowance. A woman with $4,000
a year cannot hope to live any
thing but a quiet home life. She
will have no automobiles, yachts,
liveries or personal servants.
MRS. c. C. SHAYNE, of the Ohio
club, said:
"A woman should live within
her income no matter what it is.
1t depends upon the temperament
of the woman whether an allow
ance of $4,000 or 100000 makes
her happy or contented. Upon a
woman's management of the ex-
penditures of money depends her
ability to keep within her allow
ance, whatever it may be. The
average society woman has to meet
tremendous expenses if she wishes
to take advantage of the alluring
forms of entertainment her posi-
ton affords, and if she Is to live
properly and cultivate her chill
dren."
