BOSTON LIKES BUTT IN"
New Society Game. Who's Got the
Hammer" Makes d Hit There.

Butt-in, butt-in who's got the
hammer the latest society game,
which has the smart sets of Cleve-
land, Pittsburg and the Middle
West by the ears, has just struck
Boston, and is all the rage.
So popular has it become that
engagements for dinners, dances
and reception are being ruthlessly
broken is they happen to come on
the nights when a butt-in" pro-
gram is on.
The new game is diverting and
racy to those who play it. Just
what those not in the game think
of it has not been announced. But
it can be imagined.
Bridge is dull, poker-tame, COM
pared with this new pastime.
It is a bit risque.
Think of man, says the
hostess. Everybody thinks of a
man. BE ready to tell all you
know about him. y
'Oh-h-h!" says everybody.
'Imogene, you begin, says the
hostess. He is dapper, Imogene
says. He rides in a Panhard
car, plays eighteen holes like
Egan, just dotes on champagne,
and when he's not at the stage

MORE SMALL CHANGE.
Scarcity Of Small Gems Now at an
End-Bad Money Circulating.

Saltillo, Mex, Dec. 1.-THE
new silver 5o-ceht pieces, which
were recently coined at the San
Francisco mint, have been put into
circulation. A large number of
these silver pieces are now in cir
culation in Saltillo The scarcity
of small change, which has caused
so much annoyance to business
houses several weeks ago. has now
ceased to some extent. A large
number of silver IS cent pieces will
also be put into circulation Shortly.
A considerable amount of bad
money, chiefly ascent pieces, IS
still in circulation in spite of the
efforts of the authorities.

IT IS thought the courtsmartial
of Mejor Penrose and Captain
Macklin will be held at San An
tonic. As rule these trials are
open to the public but on request
of defendant the matter Of having
it public or private rests in the
discretion of the officers of the
court. In this instance, we ex-
press the hope that It may be
public-we think justice would
much more likely be done in that
way than if the trial were conducts
ed privately. We imagine that
when Penrose comes to make his
defense, composed as it must be
in large measure, of false hood and
fabrication, and sees before him a
crowd of Brownsville citizens who
know the facts in the case as well
as he, he will hardly have the
nerve to say a number of things
decidedly material to his defense
which the people of Brownsville
know to be damnably false. The
shooting up of our town for which
Penrose is in large measure re-
sponsible was not conducted |
privately nor behind closed doors;
it was public and every citizen of
our town had a chance to be shot.
Now in return we should very
much like to witness the return
of the Majors boomerang.

PASSED AS NAN FOR 3 YEARS.
Damage Suit Against Railway Reveals
Secret Of Mysterious Woman.

New York.-After at least three
years masquerading as a man, to
the deception of persons with
whom she boarded, and even her
lawyer, q mysterious person known
only as Gus Seib, - has disap-
peared, and as a result an action
for damages in which she had ap-
peared as plaintiff against the In
terborough Street Railway Com
Dany, has been allowed to 90 by
default, with a judgment for costs
against her. This disposition of
the case was suggested by Emanuel
L. SiIberstein, the attorney in
question, when he learned from a
physician she sex of his client.
It was in January, 1908, that a
friend of Mr.. Silberstein sent
"Seib' to him to him to bring
suit against the company because
of injuries received by falling from
car at Fifty Ninth street and
Fifth avenue. The client gave
his" address as First avenue and
Twenty-Fourth street, a boarding
house, and said he" was employ
ed in a restaurant in Sixth avenue
near Thirty-Ninth street. He"
was about 80 years old, of dark
complexion, with closely cropped |
black hair, wore a sack suit and
Fedora" hat, and was entirely
masculine in manner.
In an effort to compromise the
case out of court Mr.. Si1berstein
took "Seib" to the Office of the
claim adjuster for the company, /
where also not an intimation of the
fact that the claimant was a woman
was gained. 5eib thereupon
disappeared. A few days ago Mr..
Silberstein- met DR.. Samuel Herr
stein of No. 200 East Seventh
street; who conveyed the amazing
information that "Seib" was
woman. The physician knew
of the whereabouts of the
woman.
At the boarding house at, First
avenue aud Twenty-Fourth street,
at another in Thirtv-N Ninth street,
where the mysterious person had
also lived, and at the restaurant in
Sixth avenue, where she had been
assistant to the chef, no one had
he faintest notion that 'Seib" was
/ woman.

PROGRESS IN AMERICA
REPORT FROM DUBLIN REGARD
ING IRISH LEAGUE.

Special Cabiegram to The Star.
DUBLIN, June 90.-Dr. T. J. Timmins of
Boston, of the leading Irish-Ameri-
cans. is visiting at his native place, New
town Cutler. Fermanagh. In a recent in
terview Dr. Timmins said that the league
had made great progress in America since
Mr.. Devlins visit, and 1t was now firmly es-
tablished he might say, in every state OF
the Union Practically its head was in
Boston, where almost the whole city might
be regarded as a branch of the league.
They had the national secretary and the
national treasurer-Mr. John OCallaghan
and Mr.. Thomas B. Fitzpatrick, the latter
one of the leading merchants. not of Bos-
ton alone, but of America. John O'Calla-
CHAN. he said. is one of the best posted
men the Irish question in America.
The convention will take place in Phila-
delphia and probably In October. We ex-
pect Mr.. John Redmond over to join Mr..
Devlin at it. Mr.. Devlin's program is to
return from Australia through America
You ask how do the Irish get on in
America. That touches the question of
emigration. Personally have done every
thing l could do to discourage emigration.
Succeed in Making a Living.
Many of our people succeed in making a
living there-a few of them rise to something
OF them fail, and then their lives are of
extreme misery. Mr.. John Redmond In his
speech some time ago dealt with this ques-
ton. and agree with every word that tho
chairman of the Irish party had said. Sub
| stantially he laid 1t down that the poorest
| laborer In Ireland was better off than the
| best laborer in America.
Mr.. Ellis Lever who originated the

! of Manchester, and is now on a tour In
| Ireland, has just made the. admirable and

Report That He Was Watched

special Cablegram to The Star.

special Cablegram to The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 2.-The report
sent out by persons in Berlin interested in
discrediting all things Russian that Will
liam Jennings Bryan was watched during
his recent visit to Russia; also that the
car was tmportuned to prevent him from
coming to study the douma. while not Of
ficially dignified with a denial, is neverthe-
less pronounced absurd in high quarters.
Mr.. Bryan may have been under police
surveillance to prevent anything happening
to him. just as any distinguished traveller
might be closely and carefully watched by
the authorities. but the idea that there was
ever the slightest intent to interfere with
Mr.. Bryan, his travels or his studies. Is
simply ridiculous. The car knows Mr..
Bryan by reason OF his former visits and
greatly admres the man, and SO far from
threatening to interfere with him has con-
fidence that he will not misrepresent Russia
in the eyes of the world.
The new Finnish diet, which Is to be
elected shortly, will almost certainly in
clude several woman members. The bill
for constitution of the diet declares thar
all male or female self-supporting citizens
above a certain age may vote for any man
or woman candidate whom they desire to
elect. 1t Is impossible yet to predict how
the sexes will be divided, but all politicians
concur in believing that the women will be
greatly In the minority.
Liberty and Freedom.
Mrs Gait of the United States. who is at
the head of the Woman Suffrage Alliance
and who has Just been studying the cause
OF woman suffrage in the Scandinavian
peninsula, declares the fact that Finland
and Russia are ahead of England and the
United States Is in itself a remarkable
tribute to the progress which liberty and
freedom are making in the old world.
Persistent rumors that the intention to
form parliamentary administration has
been finally abandoned are causing no
end OF anxiety here. A bureaucratic organ
empLatically declares that NJ. Goremykin
will persist and carry out his agrarian
program. though how this is to be done in
face of the opposition Of the douna Is
mystery. The same organ declares that
the dollma is entirely under the thumb of
the resolutionaries. This statement Is in
teresting because 1t corresponds with the
version prevailing In high bureaucratic
circles. It may be pointed out that Count
Witte also believed himself safe in ONCE

FOR NICK
Mr.. LongWorth May Head Life
Insurance Company.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS. July 2-Word has reached here
that Representative Nicholas Longworth,
husband of the daughter of President
Roosevelt has been picked as president OF
one of the city life insurance companies
which one Is not known. but it is be-
lieved to be the New York Life and that he
does net contemplate standing for re-
election in the Cincinnati district this fall.
1t is known that since his arrival In Europe
he has been constantly studying life insur-
ance conditions and making inquiries re-
garding life insurance in general and gov
eminent life insurance in particular. His
inquiries are taken to indicate that he Ios-
sesses more than a passing interest. At
first 1t was thought that his life insurance
Investigations were at the request OF q
committee of Mutual policyhoidars, since
he is q member of such a committee at the
request of $4,000 policyholders In Ohio, but
1t is now known that the interest which he
takes Is not merely academic or personal,
but he is going into the matter with thor
oughness which puzzles life insurance peo-
pie on this side of the water.
The question to which nation is the
best dressed Is raised by an article in La
Revue, entitled "Mercantilisme ct Esthe-
tique," by M. Albert Schinz who awards
the palm to Americans over English people
or those of any other country.
Americans Dress Well.
Americans as rule dress far better and
more smartly than Europeans, he says.
