OF the climate, 1t IS no wonder
their health breaks down after
some years of service, and
that most of them are forced
to retire to milder climates at
the age of thirty. The curious
thing is that German and
French monks, and even all
Swiss except those from the
one Canton of Valais. find the
climate insupportable. And
even among the Valaisans
only the most robust are re-
ceived as noviceS. They come
up TO this eagles aery as mere
lads: then, after having served
their fellow creatures for hf-
teen years, risking life and
health almost every day, they
retire to the recuperatirg
monastery at Martigny, or else
are allocated to one of the
curacies in the Val d'Entre-
mOntS.
In the Middle Ages these
monks grew rich through the
admiration and gratitude of
patrons the world over, and
the German Emperors were
wont to turn considerable
property over to them. But
in modern days the hospice
has been stripped of much of
its wealth. so that it is difficult
to make both ends meet. The

The remarkable prosperity and
wonderful longevity attained by
.'East Lynne" can be explained
only by the fact that the story the
play unfolds is intensely human.
Although numberless dramas have
been written in imitation of this
excellent play, not one OF them
reaches the depths of feeling or
sounds the note of human appeal
as truly as does this dramatic pic
ture of the joys and sorrows of the
beautiful, unfortunate Lady Isabel.
To adequately portray the varying
emotions of this complex character
is a task requiring not only the
charm of youthful beauty, but a
marked degree of histrionic ability
as well. The engagement at the

Mr.. Piles argued for the Seattle ex-
position as a necessary aid in exhibit

f. p. PIamondon Asks Supreme Court
fo- . Rehearing.

Nichols, Hungate & Magaw. attor-
neys for F. P. Plamondon, today filed
a 17-page petition for a rehearing in
the supreme court. P1amondon is the
alleged jointist who bears the distinc
ton of being the only man Assistant
Attorney General Carver managed to
convict during his term of office. Pla-
mondon was stuck for contempt for
disregarding an injunction, and the SUI
preme court sustained the decision.
The petition for rehearing is based
on the grounds that the court in de-
Gliding the case overlooked sections
513S, 5139, and 5140 of the statutes of
1905. Further, that there was no proof
that the defendant ever had any notice
of the granting of temporary injunc-
ton. Part of the testimony in the or

has not been proven to have received

William Berry BIaInes City Railway
and Asks for Damages.

William Berry began an action in
the district court today to recover
damages from the Topeka Railway
company. Mr.. Berry asks for a judg-
ment of $33S. He claims that at 10
o'clock on the morning of last De-
cember II, he was at work grading In
the Santa Fe pump house yard, and
that he was hauling the dirt to dump
into the Kansas river just east of the
Kansas river bridge of the Santa Fe
railway. Mr. Berry had to cross the
tracks of the Oakland line of the street
railway. He charges that the railway
company was negligent in the main
tenance of the line. On one of the
trips across the track, says Mr.. Berry,
his horses stepped on the rail which
was too heavily charged with cleo
tricity. The team was knocked down
by the current of electricity, he says,
and became frightened and ran away.
The horses were so badly cut up by
the scraper to which they were at
tached when they ran away that they
had to be shot He asks damages
amounting to $33S.
