That American actors are not the
only stage heroes is proven by the
following anecdote of the recent earth
quake in Mexico City: Luckily the
principal theater was empty, the play
goers and players were gone, when
the shock came. Not so at the Arbeu.
There the performance was in full
blast The lights in the theeter went
out. For moment there was silence.
Then was felt the shock Panic-strick-
en- cries went up from all portions Of
the house.
The situation was critical. In case
the audience attempted to leave the
house hundreds would be killed in the
melee. Fuentes, the leading actor,
was equal to the emergency. With re-
markable promptitude and self-posses-
sion he advanced to the front of the
stage and while the building was rock
ing, assured the audience that the
shock would soon be over and that
there was not the slightest danger.
Just where Fuentes got the tip that
the thing wouldn't last long and would
not be violent he did not divulge. but
the audience voted him a trump and
kept its seats till the thing was over.

London.-The Times is informed
that the steamship Goldmouth, a YES
sci which burns liquid (petroleum)
fuel, recently arrived at Thameshaven
after a passage from Balik Pappan, in
Borneo, a distance of over 10000
miles, without a stop. The revolu-
tions averaged SAB and the speed
throughout the passage averaged over
nine knots. This is the third nonstop
run made by this vessel while burning
liquid fuel, the first being from Sing
apore to Rotterdam in May-June 1906.
and the second from Singapore to
Thameshaven in September October.
1906 Probably there is no other re-
corded instance Of a single vessel hav-
ing made three nonstop runs Of such
duration with liquid fuel

advice and each time he gave It to
them freely and it was always the

Within a month five fellows had re-
signed from the club The old rivalry
between Binks and Conklin was
thought by the men to be the reason
for their resigning. neither of them
stated the cause. Young Spears said
he was going to England and did not

different reasons

Own for Remaining Standing.

When the Hon. Beverly Tucker.
minister to the Court of St, James,
was presented to Queen Victoria she
indicated that he be seated by that
slight motion OF her plump hand
which all England obeyed. Tucker
was portly and heavy, and the only
available chair was fragile and small.
He appeared not to notice the invita-
tion. A moment later it was repeat
ed, for even at that first interview be-
gan the queens liking for Minister
Tucker, which ripened into such an
intimate friendship as no other Amer
ican ever enjoyed with her majesty
Still. the weakness of things terres-
trial was more potent than the finger
Of Victoria, and Tucker again ignored
the command. Then the queen put 1t
in words, when Tucker, with a pro-
found bow, replied:
Your majesty, l never sit in the
presence of royalty"

Has NEW FLYING MACHINE.
Professor Of Johns Hopkins Universi
ty Preparing TO Build Air Ship.


Baltimore. Md.-Tfe e preparatory ex
periments for the flying machine thai
is being built by Prof Robert w
Wood, professor of experimental
physics in the Johns Hopkins uni
versity with Otto Luytch, a local en-
gineer, are practically completed and
the work of construction will begin
soon. Prof Wood has been carrying
on these experiments in the Hopkins
laboratory for several months.
The purpose of the experiments has
been to test the lifting power and the
steadiness of action of screw propel-
lers as the means of ascension and
propulsion. On the basis of the re-
suit. obtained by Prof Wood a large
flying machine will be constructed at
Sparrows Point under the direction of
the two inventors.
The projected machine is of the
"Helicopter' type, which depends on
a series Of screw propellers variously
arranged for the power of rising in
the air and for propulsion. The
models which have thus occupied the
attention of Prof Wood do not re
semble the popular idea of the flying
machine at all. and appear to De moth
ing but a set Of electric fans, with a
few weights hooked to them.

AFTER LOVERS COIN.
MARRYING JUDGE ADVERTlsEs
IN STREET CARS.
Enterprising Clayton, Mo-, Justice Of
Peace Out for Dollars Of cupid's
Victims-Uses Business
Methods.

st. Louis.-Justice of the Peace A.
ii. Werremeyer, of Clayton has Gre
ated no litNe stir in his section of
country BY his rather original way
of advertising himself as one author
lied to perform marriage ceremonies.
Justice Werremeyer is out for the
dollar and as many of them as he
can get. SO he is advertising in the
good old-fashioned way. The justice
hasn't had his signs painted on barns
or fences as yet, but in the cars of
all lines running into Clayton he has
put up large cards with the follow
ing wording and arrangement:
: "Go choose the one you love the best :
Then come to Clayton for the rest A:
JUDGE A. II. WERREMEYE EIt,
Justice of the Peace. !:
Kinloch phone Clayton No, 9. I'M /:
mediate appointments
Residence Olivette Office, County !;
/: Court House. Clayton, Mo. !:
E.... ..........,.......,.....,. ,.t.....t.,,,'..'T
Back of this enterprise of the Clayton
magistrate is the increased cost Of a
marriage license in st. Louis. A few
weeks ago the price was raised from
81 to $150. In Clayton it remains
at one dollar. There has been per-
ceptible increase in the number Of
marriages at Clayton since the new
schedule became effective.
81 am going to let the people know
that | am in the business" {" said JUS
tice Werremeyer. Il want my share
of this revenue from performing mar
riage ceremonies, and am going
right after it. People must come here
on one of those car lines, and they
will learn that am prepared for
them. Besides, think that getting
people to come here to be married
will be good advertising for Clayton.
They will look around and see what
fine town we have
Heretofore Justice Preiss has held
the championship as marrying JUS
tice." Two other justices who are
pleased to officiate are Frank Strobe
and /. w. Campbell Including Werre-
meyer, there are four justices who
can be found at the Clayton court
house at practically any hour of the
day. Two Clayton ministers, DR..
North of the Methodist church, and
DR. Langtry, of the Presbyterian,
have shared in the matrimonial fees,
couples being sent to them by friends
at the court house.
Judge G. A. Wurdeman, of the pro
bate court, has presided at sufficient
number Of weddings to attract atten-
ton.
Justice Werremeyer isn't saying
what he thinks his advertising will
do to reduce the business of his riy-
nls, but his plans are Of a substantial
character. The advertising is to be
continuous, with a change every
mouth.
The verse on the first card was
chosen from large collection Of
verses. For next months card the
verse will be as follows:
"Where are you going. my pretty maid?'
II am going to Clayton" she blushingly
said.
May ! so with you, my pretty maid?'
If TO the Justice you'll go,n she said.
Nor are these simple black and
white cards That would be too con-
ventional for the. Justice, who had
his first cards printed in blue and
red on white background.
