BERyH4RDT OUTWITS TRUST.
Denied PIayhouses by Theatre Com
bine, She Plays to Vast Audience
in Tent.

Nine. Sarah Bernhardt, the cele-
brated actress has entered the arena
as trust buster" When she made
preparations for bookings in Texas,
she found the playhouses of the state
closed to her on account OF her re-
fusal to appear under the patronage
Of the theatre syndicate. In Texas,
therefore. she was compelled to appear
in n tent. A week or two ago, novel
method OF producing a play was in
augurated at Dallas. when Sarah
played Camille" in a big circus tent,
with an audience Of 5000 persons.
During the performance fully 10000
persons crowded around the tent and
would have paid to get in il it had
been big enough. AS it was the tent
only seated 1920 and 500 had to stand
or sit on the ground. 1t was the most
novel wild west show ever seen. The
tent was a huge affair, and from the
outside looked big enough to house a
three-rinGed circus.
The novelty Of playing in a circus
tent appealed to the actress and she
gave her Interpretation Of the char
acter of "Camille" as naturally, as
cleverly. and with as much force and
power as IL confronted by an audience
Of New Workers or Parisians in the
most modern OF theatres. The thou
sands who greeted Nine. Bernhardt at
Dallas desired as much to show their
Endorsement of her fight against the
trust as to be entertained by her
matchless talent as an actress.
Nine. Bernhardt made arrangements
to appear in the tent at Waco
and Austin, Texas, and Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma Territory. In other
Texas cities ON her itinerary large
halls were secured and specially equipped
for the performance.

been made. as nature has done 50
much and man so little.
More than 1000 square miles, or
2, 80 900 acres, of land still remain
poyed and uninproved. waiting
for capital and brains to make it yield
large returns. The resources are al
most beyond limit or belief.
Thousands of Lakes and Rivers.
In this state alone there are over
five thousand rivers and streams with
more than fifteen hundred lakes as
reservoirs, to furnish power for in
Vulnerable manufacturing plants.
Besides natural water power, Maine
is rich in timber, which in this age
is a most valuable asset.
The timber lands of northern Maine
can. with judicious management, be
made to yield for generation after
generation and supply a vast amount
of lumber and wood pulp. The larg-
est paper mill in the world, is located
at Millinocket on a small branch of
the Penobscot River where a drop or
one hundred and fifty feet furnishes
25, 900 horsepower. From this mill
is turned out each day between 100
and $50 tons of newspaper, made from
wood pulp.
It is commonly supposed that paper
making from wood-pulp is one Of
the greatest menaces to our forests,
but exactly the opposite is the case,
where the forests are handled intelli-
gently.
The modern policies adopted by
many paper makers in regard to per-
petuating the forests are doing much
for the cause of forestry.

much cold air enters, the fire Is chilled,
and again we have smoke.

Chewing Gum Us. Missions.

The twenty-seventh annual meeting
Of the Women's Foreign Missionary
Society Of the Presbytery Of Washing
ton, held recently, disclosed the fact
that three and a half million dollars
year more is spent for chewing gum
than for foreign missions. In other
words $11,OOOOO0 is spent for gum
and only $7,5OOO00 for missions.
Carefully compiled data show that
$11S,O00OOO year goes for candy,

terested in the work, and who heart
lily approves it, in common with the
other members of the family. All OF
the millions she has expended for In
dian education have been employed
under direction of the Interior Depart
ment, as her long study OF the indian
problem is recognized to have made
her one of the best authorities on the
subject in the country.
Planned the Buildings Personally.
The st. Louis and st. John schools
at Pawhuska, both founded by, Mother
Katherine a number Of years ago, are
good examples of the work she is do
ing for the education of the Indians.
Both have handsome and commodious
buildings, planned personally by
Mother Katherine, and have given
hundreds of Usage children their first
knowledge of the white mans learning.
Many Of the teachers are themselves
Indians, graduates of these or similar
schools, who have entered with en-
thusiasm into the education of their
fellow tribesmen. The Usage schools
receive some assistance from the gov
ernment and their scope is greatly
widened by the orders now in effect
from the agents office that every
Usage child of school age must be in
school in order to draw its share at
the annuity payments.
Used Indian Labor.
While Mother Katherine's benefac-
ions have always been liberal, 1t Is
ner pan to let the Indians do the work
Whenever possible in the construction
of buildings and work of a similar
char acter. When the Sacred Heart
school burned five years ago, and was
rebuilt Pottawatomie and Kickapoo
Indians made the brick for the new
structure, and did much of the work
towards its construction, working, OF
course, under the direction of white
contractor. Much of the maintenance
of this school, which is claimed to be
the Oldest west of the Mississippi river,
Is borne by Mother Katherine, and 1t
was by her visits to this school that
she discovered Albert Negahnquet, the
fullbIood Pottawatomie boy educated
nv her. and who is now the only full
blood Indian Catholic priest in the
world. After his graduation at Sacred
Heart. she paid his expenses through
Carlisle and the Catholic university at
Washington, finally finishing his edu-
cation at Rome, from whence he re-
turned only two years ago, to take up
his work among his own people.

1t was beset by many difficulties ddr-

The. institutions which have pros
pered the most, and in which Mother
Katherine has taken the greater inter
est, are, however, naturally those
among the tribes which were already
under the influence of Catholic teach
ings, the Osages and the Potta-
watomies. The Osages had of course
been instructed in the Catholic faith,
before their removal from Southern
Kansas, by the fathers at the old
Usage missions, now st. Paul, first un-
der the directions of the venerable
Father Schumacher, and later under
Father Paul POnZiglione, a near rela-

The beginning of the work among

far back as 1871. when Father Robot,
a French missionary. offered his ser
vices to the bishop of Little Rock, who
then had jurisdiction over this terri
tory, and struck out into the Indian
country. He settled first at Atoke, but

LARGEST BATTLESHIP.
TEN MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF GIGANTIC
CONSTITUTION"

More Destructive and Terrible than
the new Floating Giant, the English
"Dreadnaught"-Ol Constitution
to be Saved.
One hundred thousand dollars for
the preservation of the old frigaie
Constitution, and S1O,000,000 for the
construction of huge new battleship
of the same name are two provisions
to be included in the naval appropria-
tion bill.
The new Constitution is to be the
most powerful ship Of war atlOat. She
will excel the British DreadnauEht
recently launched by King Edward by
as much as the Dreadneught will eX-
eel anything afoat when she is com
pleted. Her authorization may be
said to be directly the result Of TOgo's
victory in the Sea of Japan. 1t was
the British naval attache on board
Togos flagship who hurried home
after that battle and warned the Ad-
miralty of the needS Of the British
navy, and this brought about the con-
struction of the Dreadnaught. Now
we are to follow and eclipse the Brit
ish naval wonder.
The Navy Department has secured
full information cOncernin@ the plans
of the Dreadnaught, and the arrange
ment Of her powerful armament, so
that it is known exactly what umst be
done to beat her.

the fairhostess many happy returns.
1t is likely that permanent alimony
club will develop from the festivities.
The occasion was so enjoyable that
some of the guests said that they never
could have believed a separation re-
union could have been fraught with so
much interest. One of the Divorces
whose husband had left her on her we'd
ding day with nothing but check,
which caused her embarrassment when
she presented it, declared that she had
never had such good time since she

Samuel B. Rose jr., who, when he was
Is years of age, eloped from a school at
Groton, Mass. The marriage was an
nulled a year later, and he is now only
20 years of age. Among those present
may be mentioned Harry l.. Powers,
whose divorce case was a matter which
made trouble with his relatives, but it
| was finally granted in his favor.
Cards presented at the door did not
give the full matrimonial records. The
Japanese butler announced the divorced
names, and once or twice he was aston
ished to find several guests who insisted
on being announced as Mr. and Mrs.
He went back to ask for further in

CHARGE SALESMAN
WITH BAD FAITH
SAY GOODS WERE OBTAINED ON
FALSE REPRESENTATIONS
Proprietors of Wholesale House Rec
ognize Man at Hotel Nadeau, and
Are substantated by Clerk
Who Sold Goods

o. Ernest Kelly, travelling representa-
tive of the Goldstone Bros shirt and
overalls factory Of San Francisco was
arrested yesterday morning at the Hotel
Nadeau by Detectives HALEY and Nc
kenzie on a felony charge.
Kelly is accused Of having obtained
silks and other valuable materials ag-
gregating a value of $75 from the
Moore, Watson Wholesale dry goods
house, 119 North Los Angeles street,
September 8, representing himself to be
connected with the Aaron Alexander
dry goods store at Arraya Grande, say
ing that they had given him instruc-
tions to obtain the goods in person to
be credited to their account. He also
gave them a large order for goods to
be sent by mail.
Inspired bv the mans appearance of
honesty, the credit clerk of the Moore
Watson firm granted the strangers re-
quest. Then trouble began.
Soon after the assignment of goods
had been shipped to Alexander & Co.,
Moore & Watson received notice that
the goods had not been ordered by
them and they refused to accept them.
When the Moore Watson people final
ly realized that they had been victim
lied they sent for the goods and paid
freight bill Of more than $100 to re-
gain them.
Detectives had been looking for the
man since his game was first discov-
cred, but no trace of him was found
until Friday evening.
Recognized by Clerk
He was then seen by Detectives Hal
ley and Mckenzie about the Nadeau
hotel. They "shadowed'' him until they
had notified Moore & Watson of his ap-
prehension. Messrs. Moore and Watson
went to the hotel and the man was
pointed out to them by the detectives.
They instantly recognized him as the
one who had duped them several weeks
before.
However, they were not willing that
he should be arrested until his identity
was absolutely assured. He was per-
mtted to remain unmo1ested until yes
terday morning, when one of the clerks
of the Moore-Watson dry goods house
who knew nothing whatever about the
mans presence in the city was taken
to the hotel. The moment he saw Kelly
he declared: "Why, that's the man who
played the confidence game
Kelly was Immediately arrested, and
when taken before Captain of Hetec-
tives Flammer yesterday morning he
admitted his guilt after long question:
ing and was placed in the city jail.
| He said that before he committed the
| crime he had been involved In heavy
gambling losses at San Francisco and
had been driven by impending financial
ruin to do what he did.
Capt. Flammer recognized Kelly as a
man who had been arrested nearly ten
years ago in Los Angeles on a petty
larceny charge, connected with fake
employment agency.

BUILDERS BREAK RECORDS
TweIve-Story Building for New York
Evening Post Put Up in
Three Months
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Three months
ago there was nothing but a big hole in
the ground where the new building for
the Evening Post was to stand Today
on that spot stands the skeleton of a
twelve-stOry steel building. The gran
ite and cut stone work of one story are
in place, the hollow tile floors and par
titons of eight stories are ready, the
plumbing, electric installation and ele-
Vator construction are well under way,
and carpenters are now putting In tenn
porary stairways and frames. Although
only started on August 1, it is already
possible to get a definite impression of
what the new building will be like when
completely finished.
1t is q striking example of the rapid
| ity with which skyscrapers are now
put up by American builders. The con-
stant growth of business, requiring
larger office accommod da tions, and the
increasing value of the land upon which
big buildings must be erected have led
to a demand for the utmost speed in
building construction, so that time has
become more important than cost IN
new buildings, every months delay
meaning a loss of thousands of dollars
in rentals or interest.
ArchlteclS ana builders nave met this
demand for speed by adopting the steel
type of construction, which ena es
them to run up buildings of great height
with amazing rapidity. But the steel
has to be protected from rust and cor
rosion. Likewise the walls, floors and
partitions and other parts of the build
ing have to be absolutely fireproof. TO
meet these conditions builders encase
the steel in hollow tile, and build the
floors and partitions of the same ma
terial, no time having to be lost IN
waiting for the tile bricks to set or
harden. The adoption or the steel and
hollow tile type Of construction is one
Of the reasons why even the biggest
skyscrapers take less than year to
put up.
Although buildings like the new home
for the Evening Post are run up in a
few months, they are not In any way
jerry built They are put up to last
The Baltimore conf1agration showed
they could Withstand fire; the San
Francisco disaster showed they could
Withstand both earthquake and fire. In
fact the big steel and tile structures OF
New York. Chicago. Baltimore and
Pttsburg aud other large cities are not
only examples Of rapid construc tion,
but they represent the highest degree
Of perfection which American architects
and builders have attained In the art
OF skyscraper building.

Stanford Students Sing and Are PeIted d
with Eastern College CoIors in
Form of Carnations and
Chrysanthemums

David Starr Jordan was the guest
of honor at the monthly dinner of the
Los Angeles Cornell club at the An
gelus last night
Mr.. Jordan's speech was largely a
eulogy of former President Andrew d.
White of Cornell.
A comparison was drawn between
Mr. White and Charles Eliot of Har-
ward, Murray Butler of Columbia, the
late President Harper of University of
Chicago, and other famous educators.
Mr. Jordan showed to the satisfaction
of his hearers how Mr.. White excelled
in breadth of knowledge and depth of
interest in the world wide educational
movement.
"Other educators of America have
shown altogether too great tendency
to devote themselves solely to the
interests of their own university.
ANDREW D. White was too broad
minded to allow himself to become
self-centered. He devoted himself to
the betterment of all mankind. At the
land Stanford called me to the great
California university. Mr. Stanford
was such an admirer of Andrew d.
White and his methods that he eX-
pressed a desire that / build up the
Stanford university patterned after
the great Ithaca Institution. Mr.. STAN
ford advised me to get all the Cornell
instructors I could persuade to come
to Stanford A number of Comedians
have Joined us. We should have pro-
cured others had not the Ithaca insti-
tuition made them full professors to
hold them"
Brief speeches were made by DIR.
Baker of San Diego and others made
brief speeches
The Stamford football team showed
they were not only good enough to
defeat Pomona but they could make
good as singers,
When the Stanford boys came into
the banquet hall the Cornell men arose
and women arose and waving red car
nations gave the Cornell yell followed
by three lusty Stanfords. The north
ern boys responded by singing the
alma mater and three cheers for Cor
nell.
Enthusiasm arose to great height
when Comedians Joined by Prof. Jor-
dan pelted the brawny victors from the
north with red carnations and white
chrysanthemums
A pleasant feature of the banquet
was Miss Alice Jordan's brief speech.
Miss Jordan Is the daughter OF David
