The price of ore continues good,
and there is not the least chance OF
the price getting 80 low that lead
and zinc mining will not be very
profitable. Since the secretary OF
the treasury and the attorney gen.
eral have decided that foreign ores
must pay a duty of 20 per cent the
lead and zinc industry has received
quite boom, and as soon as the
weather permits new ground will
be prospected, and many new mines
opened up. The Baxter Springs
district lie very fortunate in being a
new one. The district is several
miles in length and about three
miles in width. Investors from all
over the world are being attracted
here, and the coming summer will
see the Baxter Syringe district the
busiest place in the Southwest. The
turn.in last week wae not large, al
though the output was very heavy.
The following are the ore sales for
the week:

Sometimes in "The Title Mart" MT Churchill ignores this technique: as often he uses it with evident knowledge and skill. It is good for our theater that the younger poyelists should be eager to write plays. It is more promising still when they begin with the lighter forms and in. the same wa.Oin which MT Churchill has begun. Two swallows do not

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Those who have been hoaXed so often in Waterbury by fake boxing and wrestling matches will appreciate the display of cleverness in both these branches of athletics which the Ros- SOW Midgets are giving as d part of their act at the Jacques this week. It is delight to watch Eddie Leonard dance and an auditory experience to hear him sing coon songs. MT Leonard is not shouter in any sense. but he has q peculiarly happy enunci- ati0n that gives his songs an almost indetinable charm. His opening num- Der. "Emmaline," is given with a soft ness of touch and delicacy of manner that makes it a certain applause getter and prepares the audience for the other good things the act contains. The Sharp brothers, who assist in the number. are splendid dancers and their wooden shoe speciality makes a fine contrast for Leonard's soft shoe steps. It's long time since more attractive feature has been presented here and the patrons of the house evil dently realize it. The strong dramatic finish of Edwin keough's big scenic novelty, "A Bit of Blarney." will please the lovers of powerful elocution. while the light comedy of the Irish villagers is sure to amuse even the most blase. The La Vine Cimaron Trio. Van and Alden and Dan Harrington complete the bill The electrograph pictures are as always good. Prices are 10. 20 and 90 cents; matinee 10 and 20 cents, la dies TO-. -r- .s

WILLIAM GILLETTE.

The story of "Clarice," which VII. liam Gillette offers at Polls tonight. has to do with d Dr Darlington. wh, is living with his ward Clarice m the mountains of South Carolina, where he has gone to battle with supposed weakness of the lungs. In the open ing scene Mrs Trent, the aunt of Clar- ice, is calling upon Darlington for the first time since a lawsuit over his ward, and brings with her young Dr Denbeigli who is very evidently ill love With ClaIice, whom he had met in Washington. Mrs Trent endeavors to promote Denbeigh's suit and accord ingly manages to have q quiet chat with Darlington and learns. from him that his feeling for his ward is more than that of guardian. She gets an i1kling, too. that Clarice bears rather more than a friendly feeling for her guardian. At. the same time she leads love is returned by Clarice. and this, together with certain other subter fuges which she employs, causes Car rington. to offer no objection when it is proposed that Clarice should re- turn to Washington with tie Trents. In "Clarice''s Mr Gillette has added greatly to the reputation that he has q nieved with such of his previous plays as Sherlock Holmes," Secret Service" :. Because She Loved Him Sc" Held by the Enemy" Too Much Johnson "Mr Wilkinson's Widows" |" Al the Comforts of Home," "Esmer- aida and The Private Secretary" The cast includes Miss Marie Doro, who was. Mr Gillette's leading lady, in London, Adelaide Prince, Luciller La Verne. Francis Carlyle. Thomas A. Wise, Charles Bowster, Goro Kodama and Harry J. Hooper.

Lots of Chorus Singers.

Y started in as chorus singer at $15 a week, ten years ago. Now l know some 60 operas and can sing in five languages, and am still getting s15 a week. So it is with all of us." That is the pathetic plaint of one of Herr Conrled's striking chorus singers. The most obvious moral of this com- plaint is that the thousands of young people who join the choruses for a livelihood had better stay at home, help their mothers and get married. There doesn't seem to be much hope for nine-tenths of them in the oper- atic business. s.-Boston Herald.

THE SPEED LIMIT DEFlED.
Motorists in Great Britain Persist ently Go Faster Than the
 Law Allows.

Writes an automobilist: There Is a speed limit in England and through out Europe. Nowhere can one go fast CT than 20 miles an hour. The result is that, everywhere everybody goes as fast as he pleases, and the brutal rate at which the cars fly through the mar row village streets regardless of life or limb, would make me a socialist If were a poor laborer The English roads are very narrow. All are lined with green hedges instead of fences and cross each other suddenly at right angles All through England. but es- pecially in southern England, life is greatly concentrated, with the result that the spring in the English lanes, while the most beautiful thing on earth, can be conducive to smash-ups of all sorts and conditions. sA
 While we were in Great Britain the marquis of Queensberry petitioned for the right to carry arms in order to shoot any motorist on sight. He had been in the wilds of Africa and in the
 
 mountains of British Columbia after grizzlies. he said, without feeling that his life was in danger; but he was afraid to leave the gates of his own estate, and had pulled his own child from under the wheels of flying auto- mobile If a noblemans child was not safe on the roadside, how about the child of an ordinary subject?
 "In Wales we ran into some very funny experiences. The sturdy Welsh ponies bore our advent philosophically, but the inhabitants 'shied.' Every hu- man being became panic-stricken at sight of an automobile, and if he were riding or driving, his collapse was complete. We always stopped short and let them pass us when travelling in the opposite direction or would overtake them slowly when travelling the same way. But we were meeting terrorized population, who judged us guilty until we were proven innocent" |"

DISUSE OF HAIR POWDER.
Immense Draft on England's Flour
 Supply Caused Public Disapproval.

During the last years of the eight eenth century the price of grain in England was very high. So much four was used as hair powder that an att tempt was made to check its use. A recent book. "A Sign of the Barber Pole" contains . copy of q docu- ment issued by the mayor. justices and principal inhabitants" of Grea. Yarmouth. recommending the disuse of hair powder for a time.
 We fiatter ourselves" they said in this proclamation. which was issued in January. I795. the military will not hesitate to adopt ii. being fully convinced that appearances are at all times to be sacrificed 10 the public veal, and that in doing this they really do good. January q. 17e5."
 In the following April party of gentlemen at woburn Abbey entered into an engagement to forfeit a cer- tain sum of money if any of them wore their hair tied or powdered within a certain period.
 Nevertheless the tories regarded with distrust persons who did not use hair powder. So late as 1s9 a certain Major Cox. of Derby. an excellent tory. declined to allow his son to become a pupil of vell-knovn clerical tutor. for the reason that the clergyman did nor powder. and thsi he wore his hair short. which sug- sested that he must be a dangerous revolutionist

HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.
Manifestations of Desire for Closer Relations Between the Two
 Countries. @~

Some weeks ago the Petit Bleu, of Brussels, published series of ar- ticles on the oft-debated idea of a closer union between the separated parts of the old kingdom of the Low Countries The matter has now been taken up by the Dutch and Belgian press, and also by the German papers. but no decision has been come to. On both sides there seems to be 8 de- sire for more intimate relations. but as to the means by which this re- suit is to be brought about nothing definite has been said. Union was the dream of William the Silent. and ln 1915 1t was established by the con- gress of Vienna. But the events of 1880 separated the two countries, and as Holland and Belgium differ in re- ligion, language and economic theories. ,jt is difficult to see how that which failed in 1880 can be successful now. Belgium has mixed population, and the Walloons. who speak French, and the Flemings, who speak Flemish. have never thoroughly harmonized. The Flemings naturally turn to their relations in the north, and look on closer union with Holland as natural and desirable. and it is among them that the movement has its chief force There are many drawbacks to the proposal. and the question of free trade and protection is not the least of them. But TO harm is done by the debate in the newspapers; and whatever be the result of it, anything that tends to strengthen the position of the two little states will be cor dially welcomed on this side of the channel. sHEtats

The Talma minstrels have now com pleted in great measure the stock of local jokes that they will deal out at their annual show at Polls on Monday and Tuesday evenings, February 19 and 20. Several well known men who have had it intimated to them that they're going to get it hard are busy rehearsing looks of assumed indiffer- ence. but the minstrels guarantee a few hot ones that will make the vic tins squirm in their seats for fully five minutes after they're sprung. The musical feature of the show will be of an especially high grade and the soloists will be supported by male and female chorus of sixty voices.
