 neyed. type. No old feats are per.
 formed, no outwOrn attempts at ap-
 plause getting by cheap tricks. but the entire offering is characterized by an originality that is rare as well as startling. There is one big difference between the sensationalism of the
 llillSylviany turn and the other en- tries in the nerve narrowing race. It lies in the fact that while the feats are dangerous in the extreme they are executed with such ease that the audi. encc is hardly conscious of it and the watchers are moi scared half to death while they arc being done.

done in and through the central we'll or shaft, and the caisson will be sunk as far as practicable by open dredg- ing through this well. This work will be done preferably in the spring of the year. as at that time tile prevailing winds are from the shore and there fore the seas do not run so high. 8
 After the caisson has been sunk as far as possible by open dredging and the added weight of water and con- crete, the lower air chambers will be filled with compressed air to force out the water, and men will enter these chambers and assist the hydraulic dredging machinery by excavating with powerful water jets, shovels and special tools to force the sand toward the central tube, where it will be pumped upward and discharged, through the outside shell of the cais- son by electors or sand pumps. If any solid material, wreckage, for in. stance, shonid be encountered in the sand while sinking, it is purposed to work it toward the central shaft, where it may be removed by a grap- bling dredge. Smaller Instructions may be removed by divers through the airlocks provided for the men.
 AS soon as the caisson has been sunk to it's proper depth, about 28 feet below the surface of the sand, the bottom being about 50 feet below the surface of the water, the work of fill- ing will be carried on, and a rip-rap

MRS LEFFINGWELL's BooTs.p

One of Augustus Thomas's latest
 comedies, Mrs Lefiingwell's Boots," is
 the novelty that will be presented by
 Charles Frohman at Poli's tonight,
 for the first time here and which ran
 Ill New York all last season. The play,
 by common report. is one that appeals
 to the merry minded in the ultra fash lonable strata of good society, and is one, too, they say, that aspires, in q sense, to convey moral 10 those ir- repressible pests universally .ocabu- hrZed as scandakmOngers An impor- tant factor in the success of this new play is the really strong cast with which Mr Frohman is exploiting it.
 That the group of players is of no or ,,dinary stamp or haphazzard selection Will be apparent to those who are ia. mIliar with the names of the better class of stage folk The story of Mrs LeffingwelTs Boots is played in three acts and chiefly concerns the ground less jealousy of a husband whose wife was made the butt of a youthful bach elors presuming prank with pair of her boots. Though the woman is se- curely conscious of her innocence she Dlunders here and there and unwilling ly fans the flame of her husbands wrath, which in the end she finally ap- peases. Vincent Serrano. William Courtenay, Louis Payne. Grace Heyer, Jessie Busley. Dorothy Hammond, Jane Laurel and others are in the cast Prices are 25, 5O, 75, $1 and $50. Tel | ephOne 116-2.

CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE"

A. H. Woods, the well known the atrical manager. owes his great sue cess to the fact that he gives the pub
 lie just what they want, regardless of expense or labor He realizes that
 when he does this he is sure to receive

''The Comics sions of Wife, by Owen Davis, which is underlined for presentation at Poli's tomorrow afternoon and evening. he has more than exceeded his past triumphs.

Its characters are not of the milk and water order. drawn from imagination to serve for an even. ings entertainment comprised of dilapidated scenery. worn- out cos tunes and lines. situations. climaxes and effects that have done yeOman ser vice in almost every melodrama from the year one, but each role has been written with purpose in view, to in- struct. appeal and reach the heart.

Diamond Shoals, off Cape Hatteras.
 VIII have lost their terrors for the At lantic coast-wise sailors before very many months have come and gone, for early in the spring. as soon as the
 winds and seas vii permit. the big caisson now completed is to be lowed to position and active work begun to place beacon at one of the most dangerous points on the Atlantic coast. It IS said that within the past 30 years 70 vessels and 72 lives have been lost on these treacherous bars of, sand. and up to the present time en- gineers have declared that no lighthouse could be built on the outer Diamond Shoal which would withstand the ter rinc assaults of wind and wave. But with an improved design of a sheet steel caisson devised by Capt. Albert F. Bells making possible the placing Of foundation below the shifting sands of the sea bottom, that which has seemed impossible, has been brought within the realm of the pos sible. Congress one year ago had faith enough in the project to appropriate $760,000 for the lighthouse and S30,- OOO additional for the lens and equip ment, and now the caisson of i'm proved design is awaiting it's seaward voyage to Diamond Shoal
 The caisson is of massive steel in the form of the lower portion of al cone, with cylindrical base. Upon this will be erected the lighthouse

The most insidious disease that mankind has to fear is that which at tacks the kidneys. It comes on so si- lently, gains ground so rapidly, is so destructive. tGat thousands are lost who might have been saved in the be- ginning.
 Signs of kidney trouble come either through the back or from the bladder; in backache, or some IrreguIarity of the urine.
 Pain in the back, dull and heavy, or sharp and acute, tells you of sick Kidneys and warns you of the danger of dropsy, diabetes or Bright's dis ease.
 Too frequent passages Of urine, thin. pale and foamy urine, or thick, red, ill-smelling urine, fnl! of sediment and scanty' or painful of, passage, tell you of serious trouble in the kidneys
 Don't neglect the early kidney troubles. Cure them while they are easy to cure. and it will save life of suffering. Use remedy for the kid neys only-Doan's Kidney Pills. It will quickly right the kidneys and bladder, and drive away the aches and pains.

PLAIN, HARD LUCK
Is All Garland Has to Say When Ar
rested in Chicago.

Chicago. Jan. 26.-Just a plain hard
luck story, with no excuse to offer"
was tho way William Garland. p years
old. summed up his own story after he
had been arrested at State and Wash
ington streets. Thursday night.
Garland told the police he was the
son of Augustus II. Garland, former
United States attorney general. His
actions had aroused the suspicious of
the detectives and when they searched
him. they found a piece of stone wrap
ped in stocking concealed under his
coat He had been lingering near q
large jewelry store for several hours.
When taken to the Central station he
made the following confessions:
Il was simply down and out and had
hunted for work without success.
Then ! read in the papers of the easy
way in which hold-up men had smash
ed jcWelry store windows and got
away with the goods, and decided that
l would turn robber."
When the police went to Garland's
rooms to search them, they found sew
eral unfinished stories which evidently
he was preparing for a magazine. a
college diploma also was found in his
room. The arrest Of Garland was, the
first result of the work of a squad of
detectives detailed to guard the jewel
ry stores Of the city, following the
many recent robberies. Windows Of
two stores We're smashed Thursday by
men who escaped with jcwelry valued
at $1,000.

of nearly two score people who were
carried to death by the tremendous
waves which swept over the hulk of
the wrecked steamer.
The Valencia lay rs yards from the
foot of the bluff from the top of which
they could plainly see the people
clinging to the rigging and huddled on
the hurricane deck. The people on the
ship cheered wildly when they saw the
party OH shore, evidently thinking that
they were to be rescued. About noon
an immense wave struck the wreck
and crushed everything to pieces.
Everyone was swept into the sea and
to their death while the party on shore
stood. unable to do anything for them.
Nine bodies We're recovered at noon
today. None of them have been iden-
titled.
