ABRAMS RAIL
ROAD HEADS

The fastest maneuver OF American
magnates is probably the most child
ish example of blum which they have
ever been guilty. They have wreck
ed American railroads in the mind
OF the American investing public by
using them as gambling counters in
their own schemes. They have used
millions of dollars, which could have
been employed for the benefit of the
lines, for the furtherance OF pools
and corners, and now blandly suggest
a conference. The only remedy is
sound finance. Conferences are use
less The slump in American rail
road securities may bring consider
able trouble on the other side of the
Atlantic, but II IL converts the rail-
road administration into something
better than a bucketshop it will be
worth it.-London Post.

THE GIRL FROM OUT
YONDER" AT COURT
ADELAIDE THURsToN PRESENTS
NEW PLAY To TWO LARGE
AND APPRECIATIVE
AUDIENCES.

Miss Adelaide Thurston paid
Wheeling her annual visit wednes--
day and before two very large and
appreciative audiences presented her
new play by Pauline Phelps and Mar
ion Short entitled The Girl From
Out Yonder.'
The piece certainly has been built
to suit the star, for she ats into the
charming role in the proverbial
glovelike fashion. Not since she
was seen here as Lady Babbie. I'm the
Little Minister" unless IL might
be the role OF Lois, in Sweet Clio
ver," has she been so deliciously
captivating.
The program says the piece is "a
play with a heart" said 1t Is GER
tainly true. IL is wholesome from
beginning to end. The early acts are
full OF light comedy with sparkling
dialogue. while the last acts are full
of pathos and AFFORD the star ample
opportunity for the display of her
clever talents.
The story tells about n conscience
stricken old lighthouse keeper who
dwells with his daughter on an is
land of the coast of Maine. The
old man believes that twenty years
prior he killed n friend while under
the influence of liquor. He tries to
make up his mind to make n con-
fession and take the punishm ont but
for the great love OF his little Caugh-
ter Flotsam (the role which Miss
Thurston Plays, he cannot bring
himself to do 1t. He betrays his Sc
cret while i'm a delirium to a young
fisherman, who is in love with the
daughter. When the young fellow
discovers that Flotsam is not In love
with him, but enamored with city
chap, he seeks revenge and tells the
old mans secret. The old man tries
to save the daughter from disgrace
by telling her that she is not his
own child, but little waif picked up
from a wreck near the island The
girl discovers the father is misrepre-
senting everything TO her in order 20
release her from the odium. Tn y
comes her duty-she must chose be-
tween father and lover. She clings
to the father i'm manner that
brought tears TO many eyes in the au-
dience. The old man serves a short
time I'm prison during which time
Flotsam keeps the lighthouse. An
other old sailor on his deathbed con
fesses he was the man who commit
ted the murder and not Flotsam' g
father. or course everything winds
up just right and everyone is hap
ply.
The Cast assisting Miss Thurston
was a very well balanced one Special
mention should be given James r..
Mccain, who most ably does the role
Of the father. and Miss Jesse Church.
who plays the role OF a straight-laced
widowed cousin. - Wheeling Regis

Toledo is but a tomb, Granada the

survival of ancient Castle. Archi-
tectually there is little to see here.
The life of the people-children o.
600 years old--is full OF interest
There is fiction that the South of
Spain is tropical and that i'm conse-
quence artificial warmth in winter
is not required. Now as far south as
Naples, in Florida, a blazing fire is
often very comfortable. The tavern
where we put up" in Valencia had
not so much as a fireplace. BY some
coaXing and a few pesetas, we Sc
cured wizened makeshift of a gas
stove. which from the outside looked
TO emit red and pleasing glow. New

So next day / got move on my

chance a fireplace. Great prepare

several servants running hither and

They brought billets of wood STEPPED

Nowhere in Italy, in California or in

Railroad Firemen Scarce.

why doosnT't the able bodied young
man of Mechanical bent turn more
often than he does to the fireman's
deck of the locomotive? This is a
question which at all times appeals
to the superintendent of motive pow
er of the great railroads Of the coun-
try. and in a few weeks, when the
movement CT the grain crops of the
country begins to test the capacity of
the roads and when locomotive engi-
neers are in sharply increased de.
mand, the question becomes serious
to many lines.
Time was under the old rules of the
railroads when the work of firing an
engine for six or seven years of an
apprenticeship made the lot of the
fireman hard, dirty and exacting. To-
day, under the schooling system that
has been adopted almost universally
on the big systems, firing still is hard
work, but the term Of apprenticeship
is cut from two to three years, the
"hcstler's" work is eliminated for the
fireman, the shovelling of coal, while
increased in tonnage. is made easier
by the modern chute shape of the
coal tender. and when the fireman.
after his four years experience
reaches an income possibility of $125
to 5000 a month as engineer. the
roads have an income argument be-
hind tboir nupStion which Is iuPccan-

Odd London Street Names.

Margaret Pattens has no reference
to footwear. The 'pattens' is cor
ruDtion of 'patines, the plates useJ
for the consecrated bread. st. Mary
Woolnoth took its name from the
wool market which once stood near
it, moth being the old form of nigh.
st Mary Axe popularity pronounced
Sim merry Axe, gained its name
from the fact that house with the
sign of an axe once stood in the
street. Criticized Friars' does not,
