London Theaters Charm.

One of the delicious treats London
offers Americans Is the acting and ac-
cessories of her theaters. The or
chestra stalls or balcony stalls are very
sumptuous and very roomy and are
evidently created or purpose to ap-
peal to hearty diners. The usher is a
very tidy young woman in black dress
and coquettish cap and apron, pos
sessed Of sweet face and a still sweet
er voice. You pay her a 3sixpence for
each programme. The stage settings
are perfect in detail Best Of all is the
elocution of the players. From the
rising of the curtain even unto the 60
ing down Of the same, each and every
word uttered Is as clear and tuneful as
the tinkle of a silver bell. You don't
have to wait till the middle of the first
act before you can even guess what
the plot is about Under these unusual
circumstances the interest one takes in
play is greatly enhanced, and he
wonders why an American company Is
not as well drilled. -Travel Magazine.

ows to attend upon the tombs OF their

their heads. they cover them with pipe
clay, kneaded into paste. The head
is first covered with a net to prevent
the clay from sticking too tightly to
the skin a misfortune which is partly
averted by the amount Of grease with
which every Australian native is anoint-

THAT SMELL
.(Continued from page II (.

F
The troubles of the oil firm Of
Lombard e Ayres in the early seven
ties was the interesting thing Of the
days hearing. Mr.. +. Lombard said
that he had difficulties In obtaining
tank cars to ship oil and that his
company felt the difficulty Of compe-
tition with the Standard, which, he
said, was receiving rebates from the
trunk Ines. He had two confer
ences with A. j. Cassatt of the Penn
sylvania railroad, but was told that
the rebates which were. given the
Standard did not amount to much.
Mr.. Cassatt, witness said, suggested
that his difficulties would doubtless
cease if he united the Lombard Co.
with the Standard n Mr.. Lombard
testified that he had a conference
with Col. Thomas Scott, president of
the Pennsylvania, in which he was
told that the Lombard company was
getting all the tank cars it could
obtain under the allotment. Col.
Scott, according to the witness said
the Pennsylvania railroad would not
haul tank cars built by Lombard &
tCo. Col. Scott also expressed the
opinion that the Lombard & Ayres
Co. would do well, to unite with the
Standard Oil company.
Anthony Brady of Albany told to-.
day how the Manhattan Oil Co. of
Ohio, was sold to the London Co.
Mr.. Brady said he had no idea when
the sale was made or that the COM
pany was going into the hands of the
Standard.
