Against Hard Proposition.

Herbert Knox Smith. the brilliant
deputy of the bureau of corporations.
said in Washington apropos of certain
illegal acts: Those acts are illegal,
but the question is: Can the law get
at the perpetrators? l am afraid 1t
can't. For these men are poor, and
monetary punishment is the only one
the law can take, The law, l am
afraid, Is in the position of certain

This housewife, strict woman.
said to a new maid: / forgot to tell
you. Maude, that if you break any
thing, I'll have to take it out of your
wages
But Maude. whom two days had
heartily sickened of her berth, replied
with a merry laugh: Do it, ma am, do
it. I've Just broke the hundred-dollar
vase in the parlor, and If you can take
that out Of four dollars-for I'm leavin'
at the end of the week-why, you'll
be mighty clever"

BEN-IIuR
Again to be Staged at the Chicago
Auditorium.

Conspicuous among tie many splen-
did offerings that will mark the cur
rent theatrical season in Chicago will
be another production of Gen. Lew.
Wallace's stirring reigio- historic ro-
nance, "Ben-Hur," which has hereto
fore been so brilliantly and spectacu-
larly staged in the western metropolis.
Two seasons ago when the idea OF pre-
senting this play al the big Auditorium
was conceived, the Klaw & Granger
company imported from London the
production used a the Drury Lane the
atre. This equipment was the most
massive and costly. as well as the most
beautiful, that had ever been construct
ed for the setting Of Gen. Wallace
drama, for 1t marked the advent of its
produc, rs in the English metropolis,
and as a matter OF managerial pride
they were anxious that the production
should impress even If the play did not
from dramatic standpoint. 1t is now
on record that not only did Ben Hur''
score as a drama, but the production
eclipsed everything that had thereto
fore been seen on the Drury Lane stage,
which has for more than a hundred
years been noted for the greatest spec
tacles of Great Britain.
When this production was being ad-
justed to the Chicago Auditorium stage.
many opportunities for betterment
and elaboration were observable for
no stage In the world presents as great
opportunity for massive and magni-
fieent stage settings as this temple OF
amusement. Thereupon Klaw & Erl-
anger decided to build production
adapted to every opportunity permitted
by this vast stage. For several months
past staff of artisans have been en-
gagged in constructing this wondrous
spectacle, which Ii is claimed Will over
shadow everything that has gone be-
fore, and which is of such colossal
proportions that 1t cannot be used on
any other stage in the world in it's en-
tirety. The first unfolding OF this new
and greater Ben Hur." will take place
at the Chicago Auditorium on Monday
evening, October 18th. when a limited
engagement will be inaugurated Dur
ing the run no Sunday performances
will be given, but matinees are SEIZED
uled for Wednesday and Saturday oil
each week. Novelty seldom if ever ac-
cruer from constant repetition Of any
drama except those OF Shakespeare, but
this instructive spectacle of dramatic
and pictorial beauty seems to contain
that virtue.

Queens Are Tallest.

There is hardly a king in Christen-
dom to-day whose wife does not over
top him by head The car is over
topped full head by the czarina.
Kaiser Wilhelm is of medium height.
bat the German empress is tall, and
that is why the proud kaiser will new

squat, hardly comes u to the shoul-
ders Of the tall. athletic Queen Hele-
ma. The king of Portugal. though fat

the prince of Wales is a cod four
inches shorter than the princess. The
young king of Spain is several inches
shorter than Queen Victoria. The

DYNAMITE FOR A TREsTLE
Attempt to Destroy Property of the
Nickel Plate Road Is Dis
covered and Baflled.

Cleveland, O., Sept. 26-An ALLEGED
plot to destroy the Nickel Plate trestle
in this city has been reported to the
police. An Internal machine contain
ing twenty-five sticks of dynamite,
equipped with four dry batteries,
fuses and a clock set for 3 a. m. was
found by night. Waterman and turned
over to railroad officials, who later
gave it to the police.
1t is alleged that the dynamite was
thrown from the platform of a
Nickel Plate passenger train about
2 a. m. but failed TO explode. That
the repeated conclusions did not ex-
plode the bomb is ascribed to the fact
that it was heavily wrapped in rags.

Varied Work Of Women.

1t is about proved that a woman can
do anything she sets her head to. The
only requisite is that she shall thor
oughly know her business and attend
to ii. The woman of enterprise and
capability will do better TO go into
trade for herself than to work for
somebody else. A firm of women paper
hangers is doing a rushing business in
one city. Mrs. Bogue Of Denver owns
and manages a Hill street car line.
Mrs. Shleppey Of Wichita. Kan, Is an
artistic sign painter She had an art
school training and has utilized 1t to
some purpose. Miss Jimetta Kennedy
OF Emigsville, Pa. is an expert wagon
painter. A New England girl who is q
college graduate is laying up money

a british RInnher

There is an old story of the foreign
office In connection with the small
French colony of Chandernagore. This
tiny possession Is situated on the
Hooghly, twenty-one miles from Cal
cutta. 1t extends two miles along the
river and one and half miles inland
from it, During our wars with France
the settlement was taken and added to
our dependency, but when terms of
peace were arranged our minister of
foreign affairs, in total ignorance Of
its position and of the Importance of
its retention, agreed to it's being re-
stored TO France. 1t turned out that
he thought it was small island in
the West Indies and of no conse-
quence!-W Westminster Gazette.

servative estimates point to contin-
uatlon of such patronage throughout
a more or less limited engagement In
fact, the time for withdrawal Of the de-
lightful and inspiring play has not been
definitely determined upon, owing to
the tremendous business in Chicago
and the insistant demands for time in

Conan and his latest musical produc-
ton, success is due not only to the
clever combination of several strong
END effective stage elements, but prob
ably more than anything else to his
genuine sincerity an a comedian, play
wright, composer and stage director
and the enthusiastic earnestness with
which he deals in patriotic material OF
the most stirring sort. It is no unusual
happening for him to receive a dozen
curtain calls and encores to his won
derfully effective song, The Grand Old
Flag" which is given with all inspir-
ing detail, and i. one Of the most pulse
quickening scenes in the history OF
modern stage construction. Mr. Conan

Cinderella of the Canary Islands.

Hierros can hardly be called, al
though nominally entitled, one of the
fortunate isles" 1t is the Cinderella
of the Canary group, and in its south
westerly isolation may be said to live
on fog. But for the mists that drench
it's shores the little island would die OF
thirst, and no vegetables could be sent
to market. Its western promontory,
Debas, once enjoyed celebrity as the
spot through which was drawn the
first universal meridian.

A frequent remark is that mankind
dwelis on a thin crust encircling a
molten mass and that the journey OF
life Is practically on a fire ball incased
in a fragile shell that has cooled and
that, as 1t cools further, contracts with
earthquake shocks. Much virtue In
rhetoric, if the purpose is to elevate
the hair and induce cold thrills and
goosefesh The internal fire of the
earth is an inference and, in any large
sense, historically harmless If true.
Persons who worry over cosmic prob
lens might also keep awake of nights
over the palpable truth that the earth

Millinery and Dressmakine.

NThe costumer's trade Is now so profit
able that numerous college women
have gone into it declaring it pays bet
ter than any profession they could en-
ter. Some of the best known dress
makers in this country have incomes of
$4,000 to $4,000 a year. The country
is flooded with botch dressmakers, with
no aspiration and no skill or joy in
their work, who ought to be starved
awhile till they learn to do decent fit
ting and sewing. In every city, large
or small, there is room for all the really
competent dressmakers that put in an
appearance. The same is true to a
great extent OF milliners and the mil
linery trade. But this trade, too, suf-
fers under the curse of botches and the
unambitiouS.

WAYS TO EARN MONEY.
Abundance For the Woman of Grit,
Industry and Common Sense.

Abundance For the Woman of GRIT,
Industry and Common Sense.
No woman with good sense need
ever be poor. The matter lies within
her own choice. Around her. whe--
ever she is, are opportunities for mon
ey earning If she sets herself to ind
them and is willing 10 work independ-
emily.
For women in the country perhaps
nothing pays so well as poultry raising
if we'll managed. The whole land Is
now invaded in summer by the city
boarder. There is good sale almost
everywhere for eggs and chickens of
all ages, particularly broilers. In a
country place where l was in August
the people sold eggs for from 80 to 80
cents a dozen at their doors. Boarding
house and hotel keepers had TO have
them at any cost. l was so interested
in this subject of poultry rearing for
women that / investigated some ''poul-
try ranches" as they are called. One
farmer who had gone into chickens
experimentally, learning the business
as he went along, succeeded from the
start so we'll that he abandoned agri-
culture and devoted himself TO poultry.
Poultry rearing IS light work-noth-
ing in 1t that a woman cannot do. She
needs to have, of course, some me-
chanical SKILL which can be acquired.
and she needs to tend carefully TO her
fowls and keep up TO date in their
management That Is all. A friend
who knows tells me that one woman
can get living of 100 hens.
A branch OF the poultry business is
pigeon and squad raising. 1t is at
tracing attention now, for there Is
much profit in it. The squad market is
never fully supplied. One woman who
merely raises pigeons in her back yard
says she has an excellent income from
them.

II have not wished to go ahead un-

would convince anybody I could my
self give legal testimony to make out

the trust may do. Adolph Segal and
his counsel have taken the position
that he was a solvent man ruined by
