Protests were of no avail. Miss
Willets broke down entirely. She
pleaded vainly for mercy. Their cap
tors were obdurate. Perkins was tied
to tree and fire was kindled to heat
the branding iron. Horror seemed to
have deprived him of speech The
iron presently glowed red and then
white. In desperation, Miss Willets
asked for moments private CONVEX
sation with Perkins. 1t was granted.
oDon't you think" she said, "that We
had better agree? We can have it
annulIed afterwards. 1 can't bear to
have them burn you with that awful
iron"
Now was Perkins tipe. "Miss
Willets," he said, ,"I may as we'll tell
you now, that love you and nothing
would give me greater pleasure than
to accede to these villains plans. But
if you do not care for me in the same
way, l can never consent, but will
suffer the torture in silence. / am not
coward enough to have your name
dragged thru divorce court, just to
save myself little pain"
"But, George, what if l do care?'
She called him George. That was
enough. And, as the writer is not
proficient in portraying love scenes

at the Liberty theatre. New York city,
last spring when the star who is to
present it here made her Broadway
debut. The story deals with the sex
question and while it is said not to
be entirely new. it has been so cleverly
treated that it served as splendid in
troductory vehicle for Miss Roberts
and earned the approval of the entire
metropolitan press. The story in brief
Is that of a wronged girl. an orphan,
who is victimized by her guardian who
In turn sends her to female college
to gain an education. and left to her
own thoughts the girl realizes the
extent of her sin, and turns against
the despoiler of her girlhood and in

book, taking as the theme her own

oxide alumina, which is the chief con-
stituent OF common clay. Until few
years ago, however, only expensive
processes have served to separate the
metal from the combinations In which
1t Is found.
During the last decade American
scientists and inventors have over
come many Of the old obstacles. The
nrst article ever made of the metal was
IN compliment to Louis Napoleon, who
had helped st. Clair Deville, the first
manufacturerer-natable for the baby
Prince Imperial. At present it seems
impossible to name use to which
the metal may not be put.
Aluminium Is lighter than glass, and
only one-fourth as heavy as silver,
which 1t somewhat resembles. Though
1t is as hard as zinc, scarcely any
metal is equally malleable and ductile,
1t can be drawn into the finest wire
and hammered into the thinnest sheets.
If sold at low price aluminium,
which does not tarnish, will largely
supplant silver for decorating pur-
poses. 1t is an excellent conductor
and might take the place of copper in
electric plants. Since no metal save
steel Of the highest grade is weight for
weight. its equal in strength, it would
compete with the former in almost
every manufacturing industry.
France and Germany and the United
States have built torpedo boats Of
aluminium, finding that its lightness in
sures speed and that it resists corro-
sion and galvanic action better than
any other metal. Yachts, rowboats,
bicycles, motor cars, surgical instru-
ments, skates, even cooking utensils
have already been made from It.

Porter J. whites .Faust''

In brief. the plot is as follows;
Faust, learned alchemist. doctor of
philosophy, having reached that age
when all pleasures that world con-
tains fails, invokes the aid of the
spirits to give him new emotions,
that life might be worth living. In re-
Spouse to his frenzied appeal Mephisto
appears and agrees to give Faust
youth, health and passions, and all
the pleasurable enjoyment to be
drawn therefrom, upon condition that
when the gamut is run his soul shall
belong to Mephisto. Faust is dazzled
and held spellbound by beautiful
vision of Marguerite. wrapped in an
angelic halo, which fades away as he
accedes to Mephisto's demand and
compact is drawn between them. The
aged and senile philosopher is trans
formed into handsome youth, burn
Ing with passion and eager with an
ticipation. From this time. forward
his one thought is of Marguerite. Then
follow his meetings with her, their
mutual love, his betrayal of her con-
fdence, the poisoning of her mother,
while seeking only to make her
slumber more deeply; the return of
Valentine. her brother, whose anguish
and range know no bounds when in
formed of his blasted home. He
meets Faust in duel and by the devils
aid is killed. Insidious Mephisto
excites the justice-loving neighbors of
Marguerite by informing them of the
seeming unatural murder of her
mother, and she Is carried off to
prison. Faust finds his way into
Marguerite's cell partially demented.
He proposes to carry her away to
escape the dread consequences of her
crime, but at this time the gentle
spirit goes out and Mephisto claims
Faust as his own. who is saved by the
Intervention of the spirit of repentance
and remorse. Ministers throughout
the country highly endorse Faust as a
moral lesson and critics of great re-
pute dwell long in praise of this pres
entation and claim this seasons scenic
display to surpass all previous at
tempts. This pr b1uction is booked
to appear at the Metropolitan next
Saturday.

DEATH KNELL TO STENOGRAPH.
Err.
The Job To BE Done by Telephone in
Central Typewriting Exchange.


= Plans now under way will make 1t
unnecessary for business men to de-
pend on private stenographers or
typewriters. Central typewriting ex-
changes. to which letters can be die
tated over the telephone circuit and
returned for signature in few min
utes, are to be established in large
Office buildings and hotels.
Such scheme has been made prac-
teal by means of the telegraphone,
which not only makes a perfect re-
production of the human voice, but
also records everything that passes
over the ordinary telephone. These
records are stored upon a thin steel
wire or disk and can be reproduced
IN indefinite number Of times or re-
moved when there is NO further Use
for them
Each OF the central exchanges will
have number of telegraphones and !.
stan of typewriter experts and trained
linguists. When the business man or
the guest in large hotel wishes to
dictate he will pick up the receiver
of his telephone and ask to be con-
nected with telephone in the ex-
change.
If 1t should be necessary to make
any changes in the letter push but
ton Is pressed. which brings a pair
OF magnets, stronger than those which
made the record, into contact with the
wire and any part or the whole of the
letter is Immediately wiped out.
AS soon as the dictation is finished
the typewriter operator places the
telegraphone saunders to his ears and
transcribes the records.

When the guests arrived they we're

were told to draw" for seats. Some
drew tickets bearing the inscription,

ers read "Nigger Heaven, No. /, 2, 3
or 4" or BOX Seat, A or B" and so on.
Much merriment arose as the usher
seated the audience. "Nigger Heaven"
proved to be couch at the farthest
end Of the room. The "Bald-headed
Row" was, of course, the front, and
the BOX Seats" were big rough boxes
emblazoned with the grocer's homely
signs.

sheets and had pasted on the inside
page the names of the stunts" prom

rhyme. Another young lady read THE

Another gave piano solo and a third
drew some clever cartoons, choosing
persons in the audience for subjects.
The last number was a Dutch song
and dance given by a demure little
lady in typical Dutch costume-wood-
en- shoes and all.
Between the acts the candy man
passed around his bonbons and pop
corn, and the "opera-glass" boy dis
trlbuted toy opera glasses, the lens of
which were curved so as to make ev-

AT the close of the entertainment
the audience was once more requested
to draw tickets. On each was written

the town. Those whose tickets read

In the dining room; the holders of
"Carlyle's" lunched in the parlor. A
Tavern" ticket meant a table in the
reception hall, and so on. They were
given the privilege of ordering any
thing they fancied, and then when
oysters and ice were brought to them
they were expected to imagine that
the correct order had been served and
were to eat accordingly. The comical
attempt to eat raw oysters as If they
were ice cream, or the ice as If it
were whole watermelon, brought
peals Of laughter.
