The Earl and the Girl.

State fair week at Columbus will
be signalized by the grand opening
of the Shu bert theater formerly
the Grand opera house), upon
which occasion the international
musical success. The Earl and
the Girl, with the great comedian
Eddie Foy, in the principal role,
will be the attraction during the
entire week. This is one of the
most pretentious scenic produc-
tions ever produced, and it fairly
glistens with scores of beautiful
girls IN gowns and finery costing
fortunes.
The Earl and the Girl was first
produced in London, where it
scored a phenomenal success. The
production was then brough5 to
the famous Casino theater in New
York City, where it again received
unprecedented praise.
This will be the first time The
Earl and the Girl has ever been
presented in Central Ohio. Large
delegations from GAINESVILLE, New
ark, Chillicothe, Circleville, Ian
caster, London, Delaware, Marion
and other neighboring cities will
witness this magnificent proGuc-
tion, the appearance of which
really marks the entrance of the
independent theatrical managers
into the Capital City. For years
the theatrical trust has prevented
such attractions as The Earl and
the Girl, Mrs. Fiske, Mrs. Leslie
Carter, Blanche Bates, Margaret
7fnFtm, David Waffeldy DeWolfe-
Hopper and other attractions of
the higher order from appearing
at Columbus, but the independer t
managers have now succeeded in
theaters in Columbus,
Cleveland and Cincinnati and the
day of inferior offerings at sup
posedly high-class theaters is gone. |
The now famous "swinging
chorus" Of The Earl and the Girl
will positively be presented during
the Columbus engagement.

in legendary anecdotes, and its ven

the o-Europeun to the latest.
A peculiar thing about chess,
with its combination of idle amuse-
lnent and extreme mental toll. is
that it is the only game sanctioned
by pricsthoods of all beliefs. The
principal piece in the game derives
its name, king, from the Persian
shah, or ruler
Many men whose names have
gone down to posterity, such as
Charlcmagne, Tanerlane, Frederick
the Great, Charles Nil, Voltaire,
Rousseau and Ben Franklin, have
been deyotees and students of the
game.
Chess is Asiatic in origin, and
originally more attention was paid
to it by Asiatic students and philos-
ophcrs than by men of western coun-
tries. OF late years, however, its
popularity has greatly increased
among western nations, and nation
al chess tournaments arc now held
by experts from nearly all countries.
The history of chess may be di-
vided into three periods-the age of
the primeval Indian game, extend
ing from its origin down to the sixth
century A. d.; the age of the me
diaeval chess, from the sixth cen
tury to the sixteenth century, and
the age of the modern chess, from
the last of the sixteenth century to
the present day. OF course many
changes in the method of play took
place in the course of Development
of the game, and as it is played now
it is different from the game the
ancients knew

every country. Chessboards have |
been found among the ruins at Pom
peii, and in the Roman Forum one |

The regiment, whose battle
standards have had such remark

from Ross and Clinton counties
1t entered the service for 100 days
at Camp Dennison, May s, 1864.
1t participated in the battle at
Monacy Junction, July 3, losing
heavily. Later it was engaged
with the Nineteenth corps through
Virginia and Maryland before be-
ing returned to Ohio for muster
out.
Hope is entertained that the
standards of the One Hundred and
SiXty-third O. V. L. may also be
added to the states collection at
an early date. They are believed
to be at Pentwater, Mich, in the
possession Of the widow of Colonel
Hiram Miller, who commanded the
regiment.
The regiment will soon hold its
reunion at Mansfield. Several of
the survivors were anxious to have
the old colors to rally about at the
campfire. They felt that without
them the center of their dearest
associations would be missing.
They wrote to Mrs. Miller explain
ing their desire but she refused to
give up the colors and ignored the
letters.
Some members of tine regiment
explained the situation to Adiutant
General Critchfield. He has taken
the question up with the widow
and h opes to receive them because
of her interest in having them
preserved.
The regiment, which was com.
posed of National Guard compan-
les from Richmond, Henry, Ash
land and Stark counties entered |
the service at Camp Chase, May .,
1864 for 100 days. 1t saw service

And Other Dangers From
Telegraph Wires.

The fire dangers from telegraph
wires are almost entirely from evil
association with bad neighbors.
In telegraphy the electricity
from magnetism has superseded
the electricity from voltaic cells,
except that celloid batteries of two
or four cells are used in small
towns for office circuit.
Bodies of dead birds are often
seen under telegraph lines. A
bird may perch indefinitely upon a
telegraph wire without feeling the
slightest thrill from electrical
current, If he at the same time
touches nothing else, but, if in the
gentle spring wooing he bills while
he COOS with mate perched on
another wire, the current passes
through their bodies and they are
united in death. A living body
touching two charged wires short
circuits the current.
Telegraph wires are charged
with % to go volts ordinarily but
long distance wires, such as are
worked direct between Columbu
and the Atlantic coast cities, are
given 265 or 300. This voltage
would only jar, not kill, but a
telegraph wire may carry a killing
current from contact with high
tension wire or from lightning.
And, too, an arc may be formed
between wires carrying but %
volts in which they will be heated
white hot and fire any wood in
contact with them. Any wire is a
fire danger.
Last summer while Il housewife
was hanging the wash on piece
of telegraph wire, which she had
taken from corporation and put
to use as clothes line, lightning
came along the wire and passed
through her to the ground killing
her. The part of the wire beyond
her was uninjured but the part
along which the electricity passed
had disappeared. This incident
is recited to show that a deadly |
charge may be guided by a wire
too small to carry it.
The danger to life from telegraph .
wires usually comes through a
storm which blows them down
crossed by power wires, the rain
accompanying the storm furnishing
the moisture to break down any
insulation which in dry weather
might possibly protect one from
part of the force of the shock.
In cities, so great is the danger
from wires hanging or lying about
that children should be taught that
to touch a wire is to invite
serious burn or sudden death.
should bows, "tom
boys" too, be warned against
climbing any pole which carries
wires. The ground wire and the
ron tube which covers the lower
part of it may carry to him a
deadly current. A guy wire used
20 steady a pole may be charged
With dose of electricity five times
greater than that necessary to kill
aim There is rule that such
stay wires should be insulated six
,eet from the stake or pole to
which they are attached below but
his rule is usually violated,
Even the small wire of call boz
ines may be vehicle of death
LAST week, at Williamsville, O., a
10Y of l6 was flying a kite by
means of a fine copper wire let the
