THOUSANDS OF ACTORS
AND ACTRESSES IDLE
Evil Days Come Upon Theatrical Folk.
Plays Scarce, Times Hard and
Road Business Is
Poor

By Associated Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-There are evil
days for stage people and theatrical bus
mess generally. 1t is estimated in theat-
rical circles that almost 5000 actors and
actresses are out of work. Actors and
actresses may be seen daily on Broad
way vainly making the round of the
agencies.
The financial stringency, the dearth of
satisfactory plays, the sterility of the
playwrights and the construction of too
many theaters have combined, 1t appears,
TO bring about a. serious condition of af-
fairs in the theatrical world.
A record of failures was established IN
September and October. for so per cent of
the new serious plays were fiascos. The
authors of these plays comprise the most
successful writer's in this class The
companies which were gathered for these
plays were dlsbandet. and few of the
players have found new engagements.
Meantime many road companies have
returned, having found the season a bad
one. AS the actors and actresses have
suffered, so have stage hands and theat-
rical employees of all classes.
Daniel Frohman says that until money
conditions improve there can be no i'm
provement and that plays of strength
and originality must be written by the
playwrights before managers can be in
duced to invest thousands of dollars
in them.
Mrs. l.. l.. Fernandez, one of the chief
theatrical agents in New York, says the
theatrical business is in a state of actual
stagnation, and other theatrical agents
here agree with her.

depth shoallng gradually from so feet at

A vessel needs only to round the break
water, even during severe storms, to find
calm There is no narrow, rock lined
channel to traverse where any minute
the ship may be wrecked, nor Is there a
seething breaking bar to cross, where a
swell may let vessels onto the bottom

Some have stated that the breaKwater
will not stand-that severe storm will
destroy it. 1t must not be forgotten that
Catalina island shelters the breakwater
from the direction of the heaviest seas,
being an average of q miles distant.
Moreover, the wharves maintained at
Santa Monica, Redondo, Long Beach and
other places are q good index of the
violence of the storms near here. The de-
sign of the breakwater was only decided
upon after a thorough study of success

exposed localities. A storm violent

desolate every coast town from San

merce" as well as "of refuge"
The waves that run through this gar
during storms make a comparatively
large shoal water area inside the break
water very rough. This area will later
be reclaimed by the construction of bulk
heads and solid fills to the shore, and
will be made available for commerce by
the construction of wharves in front.

ROUGE AND POWDERS
sCORNED IN PARIS

The Paris correspondent for a
metropolitan paper writes that the
wave of reform has struck French
, society ladies in the matter of
using face powders, cosmetics. etc.
They now want the real thing
when it comes to complexion and
ladies that continue to use artificial
beautifiers are scoffed and scorned.
Prof. De Waller, the noted skin
specialist, has given out the fol-
lowing formula which is said to
, work wonders on sallow COM
plexions, and if used persistently
will fill out sunken and hollow
parts.
Two ounces of Rose Water; one
ounce Spirits of Cologne; four
ounces of crystallized Sartoin.
Put the Sartoin into a pint of
hot water (not boiling), and after
it is dissolved and cooled strain
through fine cloth and add the
Rose Water and Cologne Spirits.
Any large bottle will serve as a
receptacle. but it must be kept well
} corked. This quantity will last for
a long time. In using this mixture it
should always be well massaged
into the skin at least twice day.
! 1t is an inexpensive mixture, the
ingredients being obtainable from
any well stocked drug store.

SEVENTH DAY ADvENTIsTS.
Convicted on the Charge of Breaking
the sabbath-A Test Case.

Spartanburg, JAM 10.-Revs. r. T.
Nash, J. J. Roper and Allie Johnson,
Seventh Day Adventist ministers,
were tried today In the general ses-
sions court upon a charge of working
on Sunday. A test case was made IN
the instance of Mr.. Nash and upon
his being convicted, the other men
pleaded guilty to the indictment. All
of the men were fined 81, which they
paid, although there is probability
of an appeal.
The indictments grew out Of a pre-
sentiment made by the grand jury at
the last term of court, when they re-
ques1ed the solicitor to prosecute the
men. The preachers live in the upper
part of the county and have been
making a habit Of attending to their
worldly affairs on Sunday, observing
Saturday as their Sabbath The neigh
bors objected and hence the indict-
ments. The Adventists have no law
yers, Preacher Nash conducting mis-
own case. His argument to the jury
was very much in the nature of ser
mon and there were frequent inter-
ruptions by the court.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Forestry, its.

department the session Of the . as

serving the forests Of the country.
He explained that there IL be ht-.
tie likelihood Of getting an appropria-
ton through this or any other con-
gress apropos of the proposed re-
serves in Southern Appalachian
ranges and in the White mountains.
He stated that the efforts Of the de-

past have been unayailing and that
in consequence it would be better for
the States to make forestry State
issue, inasmuch as it would rebound
to their own respective interests in
the future
