CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRopUCE.

 Chicago, Sept 23.--Wheat prices on the local exchange declined nearly two cents today because of liberal selling by longs. At the close wheat for December delivery was down &c. Corn was off hc Oats were down 1c Provisions were 2h @1oc lower.
 The wheat market was weak all day. The chief bearish influence at the opening was the large amount of worlds shipments dur ing the last week, the total movement being 12,76S00o bushels. The heavy move- ment caused a sharp break at Liverpool and was also responsible for much of the selling on the local market.
 Figures on the amount of breadstuffs on ocean passage were also bearish, showing an increase of 1,14S,000 bushels. Reports from the Canadian Northwest were more favorable than for several days, a number of advices claiming that injury to the crop has been exaggerated.
 Weather conditions in Minnesota and the Dakotas were more favorable for thresh- ing which augmented the bearish senti- ment. Throughout the day. the principal demand came from shorts and the buying was in insufficient volume to cause any upturn.
 The market closed weak. December open cd 9&c lower at s1 OK @$1.o1%, sold at i.oih and declined to s1.ooh. The close was at s1.o0M.
 Clearanoes of wheat and flour were equal to 417.soo bushels. The visible supply de- creased 1,541,ooo bushels. vss f,l +-ses
 Primary receipts were 44e,0 900. bushels against 1,2ss.0oo bushels on the same day last year.
 Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts S14 cars, against 773 last week and s33 a year ago.
 The corn market was weak on general liquidation by local and outside holders. The selling was chiefly prompted by large local and primary receipts. Arrivals at Chicago today were 1,27o cars, which was two hundred in excess of the number es- timated. Of this amount 475swsre of con tract grade. Receipts for today were l. 274,0o0 bushels. against 7so,0Oo bushels on the same day last year.
 forecast of warmer weather for the corn belt was an additional bearish influ- ence. The market closed weak
 December opened & Ac lower at 57%c to 5sc, sold at 5s xca and then, declined to 66kc where it closed.
 Trade in. oats was very light and the market was weak in sympathy with wheat and corn. The close was weak at the low point of the day.
 December opened Ac lower at 5aho sold at 52Ac and then declined to 51&c where 1t closed.

ENTERTAINED BY ELMENDoRF.
Lecturer Takes Audience Through Nor.
ways Fjords.

A large audience greeted Mr.. Dwight Ell
mendorf. the traveloguist. when he stepped
upon the stage at the National Theater
yesterday afternoon. His discourse yes
terday was on Norway and it's wonderful
fjords.
Supplemental to the lecture, Mr.. Elmen-
harbor, the starting point on the journey
to Norway.
From Hamburg the audience was trans
ported quickly to Christiania, where the
first glimpses of Norwegian life were given
in motion pictures. The wonderful geo.
logical formations known as fjords (fiords)
are the striking characteristics of Norways
scenery. Despite the fact that bright,
clear day Is an exception in that faraway
northland, the views were reproduced on
the canvas with fidelity to the natural
conditions. Many deep ravines between
mountains, whose precipitous rocky sides
stretch skyward from 500 to 5000 feet
high, extend back from the coast for
eighty or one hundred miles and are very
often fully two miles deep. The width
varies, some places being so narrow that
no ocean steamer can enter them, notwith-
standing the fact that the water Is often
400 feet deep when the ocean bed just
outside the ford is only 400 or 500 feet
deep.
Bergen, Macs. Trondhjem and Digger
mullen were visited, and many of the strik-
ing characteristics of Norwegian life and
the fish industry were shown. Chief among
the views We're those showing the corona
ton of King Haakon, and In a motion
picture the audience got several glimpses
of the king and his little son.
Next week Mr.. Elmendorf will close his
series of lectures with the Land of the
Midnight SUM- This season has been Mr.
Elmendorf's most successful one since he
took the lecture platform.

HOLDS MASS MEETING.
Speaks at Session of the Anti-Saloon
League


mass meeting of the Anti-Saloon
League of the District of Columbia was
held last evening in Calvary Baptist
Church. Rev. Carl Doney opened the meet
ing with prayer, after which he intro
duced as the first speaker Representative
Weber of Ohio. The latter declared that
he had been fighting the saloon evil for the
last twenty-five years and that he would
continue to do so. Mr.. Webber criticised the
District license law, and that If he had to
serve another term in Congress he would
offer another bill to suppress the liquor
traffic here.
Rev. G. w. Young, assistant general SUI
perintendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
declared that the greatest crime in Ameri-
can public life is the licensed saloon, and
the greatest legislative blunder ever en-
acted Is the internal revenue system.
Representative Bennett of New York as
sured the congregation that he could stand
the liquor element ION their heads in a
political campaign and keep them guess
ing, because, Mr.. Bennett said, they were
ignorant and towards, and were easily out
generated in every way.
The last speaker on the program was
Rev. P. A. Baker, general superintendent
of the Anti-SaloOn League of America,
who advised his followers not to waste
their time and effort in telling other pro-
hibitionists how much they were opposed
henceforth every candidate for the presi-
dency would have to recognize in his plat
form the question of the liquor traffic if he
wanted to get the election, as the forces
of prohibition numbered over $1,000, 900
souls.

Chase's Theater.

Will Rogers, manipulation of the lariat and
defender of the Wolfville faith, drew the
sure enough" attention of large audience
at Chayes Theater last evening. His turn
closes the first part of the attractive pro-
gram, and assisted by Buck" Mckee and
his well-trained broncho. he wins much
applause by his presentation Of the arts Of
the cowboy.
julius Steger, the actor-singer, appeared in
his presentation of 1.-THE Fifth Command
ment." which is Honor Thy Father and
Thy Mother" Had the Music Master not
been written we should probably have read
soon of the expansion of THE Fifth Com
mandment" into three or four-act play
In this case. the order was reversed. Mr.
Steger's play resembles the second act Of
Warfield's drama.
Clifton Crawford returns with some new
sketches to show his versatility before
Washington audiences, and applause given
him last night Indicated that he has lost
none of his local popularity.
Rogers and Deely do some clever comedy
work. Others on the bill are Fred Morton,
who plays the mouth organ; Julia Kingsley
and Nelson Lewis, in After the Honey
moon" the Three Liviers, in parallel wire
work, and the vitagraph.

yard far fraudulent enlistment. Young
Pryor. who is little over seventeen years
Of age. enlisted in the Marine Corps at At

scented himself to the recruiting officer as
being of age. A few days later his mother
learned Of his whereabouts and imme-
diately took steps to procure his release on
the plea that his enlistment was void, in
her son being a minor. In view of this
move the government decided to fight the
case and establish a precedent which, 1t Is
hoped In futre will deter boys under age
from making false representations to the
recruiting officers, the majority of whom
find the rigors of the service distasteful,
and who In the past have generally been
discharged on their parents plea that they
were irresponsible minors.

New National Theater.

The audience which greeted Maxine Ell
lott at the National last night gave ample
proof that the star and her play have
warm place in the hearts Of theater go
ers. Her Great Match" was seen in
Washington last season and was a de-
cided popular success. The author, Clyde
Fitch, has provided Miss Elliott with an
adequate vehicle for the display of her
talents. Its situations do not soar to dam
gerous dramatic heights, but they require
intelligent handling and sincerity in their
rendering. Miss Elliott is never emotional
and only to a degree dramatic, but she
is evidently sincere, at all times interest
ing, and she possesses an impelling charm
which compensates for certain definite quail
tiles that would be required in one of fewer
personal attractions. AS 'Jo' Sheldon,
the American heiress whose aim is to
captivate Rudolph, crown prince Of East
phalia she gives abundant evidence of
intelligent feeling for the requirements of
the role. The scene with Prince Ru-
dolph, particularly the fOrtune-telling cpl
sode in the first act and in the lovers
corner in the conservatory, are models of
studied sentiment on the part of Miss Ell
lott and delightful semi-seriousness on that
OF Charles Cherry, who plays the prince.
Mr.. Cherry, as the democratic heir appar-
ent to the throne of Eastphalia, who
eschews the king business" to marry an
American queen, is an actor of finished
methods. He is never explosive, and STU
diously avoids descending to questionable
methods for the sake of achieving comedy
effects. The comedy lover is not easy to
portray, but Mr.. Cherry does it gracefully.
The grand duchess of Nine Cotrelly is a
wholesome bit of comedy which is to be
expected from one of her talents and ex-
perence. Muriel Wylford, as Mrs. Sheldon
the stepmother of ''Jo,'' does well with
thankless role, that of a scheming woman
who presumes upon her stepdaughters pop
ularity to induce certain paryenue million
aires to give up hundreds of thousands OF
dollars in a manner quite Cassie Chad
wickian and with the greatest ease.
