MUSIC AND THE DRAMA

Miss Grace Hayward, who is to ap-
pear at the Turner Theatre on the eve
ming of December lst in Owen Davis
successful comedy, "The Confessions
of Wife, is by no means unknown
to the theatregoers Of the Northwest.
Several years ago she won great favor
as the leading lady Of the Lyceum
Stock company in Minneapolis and
later she appeared at the head of some
of the strongest stock organizations in
the larger cities of the east. Today
she is at the head of her own compa-
ny, company of eighteen carefully
selected players, and if the universal
endorsement of press and public is
any criterion her present endeavors
along the lines of dramatic entertain
ment are wholly in keeping with her
former achievements. The piece which
she is TO present here is a high-class
comedy Offering ample opportunities
for the display Of her brilliant talents
and charming personality.
William Winter, the veteran critic
of the New York Tribune, on witness
ing production of s'The Man of the
Hours exclaimed: IA play, at last
that means somethingW And William
Archer, the celebrated London essay
ist, pronounced it "a play that is
alive, forcible, direct and unmistak-
able.' Bronson Howard, the dean of
American playwrights, is equally pro-
fuse in his praise and declares THE
Man of the Hour to be s'the best play
yet written by an American drama
tist. !"
Owing to failure to make railroad
connections the Brintons were proven
ted from showing at the Opera House
Sunday evening, but on Monday they
gave an entertainment that, OF its
kind, will compare with anything on
the road. The audience was the larg-
est ever seen in the Opera Honse.
ssHooligan in New York" is the title
of the next attraction at the Opera
House. 1t will be presented there next
Sunday evening.

TOOK THE cARBoLc ACID ROUTE THEATRICAL TROUPE STRANDED
Company Producing ''Nobody's
Claim Finds Itself on the
Rocks.

Several months ago little group
of Thespians started out from Chicago
on a tour of the Northwest. The vehi-
Gle for their talent was genuine
western thriller, with fusilade of re-
vOlver shots as the climax of every
act, but somehow the public refused to
be aroused to the Importance of ''No-
body's Claim" as force in the dra-
matte literature of the day, and as
soon as the financial stringency set in
the attendance seldom averaged oyer
fifty persons nightly.
New Ulm proved no exception to the
rule and when the company left here
it was evident that few more such
knocks could not prove otherwise than
disastrous.
And the end came sooner than ex-
pected. At ST. Peter the manager an
nounced that all salaries had stopped
and the company disbanded.

field Ends His Life in a
Tacoma Hotel.

A dispatch from Tacoma brings the
information that John W. Schneider,
a young man of twenty-five years who
was respondent because his parents
refused to send him money and wanted
him to come home, drained the con-
tents of bottle of carbolic acid in a
Tacoma hotel and died Tuesday night.
Schneider was the son of Wenzel
Schneider, an employe of A. G. Ochs
of Springfield, and before committing
his rash deed he handed some letters
to patrolman to be sent to his aged
parents.

WALL STREET FURRY
APPEARS At AN end

New York, Oct. 29-George w. Per-
kins last night summed up the finan-
cial situation as follows:
Everything is lovely. We have
passed through the day in fine shape.
Gold is coming from Europe, the pool
formed to aid the stock market has
been dissolved, as it is no longer nec-
essary, and the clearing house certifi-
Gates are doing their work.
1.-THE crisis has been passed and the
outlook is extremely bright, despite
the rain"
Mr.. Perkins summary of the condi-
tions was Endorsed by all the leading
bankers and brokers. All the events
of the day indicated that matters had
returned to comparatively normal con-
ditions.
Although few depositors lined up
in some of the smaller banks, no fur

prospects for the resumption Of bust
ness by the majority of the banks
which were closed temporarily last
week were considered favorable.
Twenty Millions Gold Coming
The engagement Of almost $40, 600,
900 in gold IN Europe for immediate
delivery here was followed later by the
encouraging announcement Of sales OF
American copper abroad. These sales.
it is expected, will swell the tide OF
foreign money coming to this country
still further to more than $25, 600, 600.
This good news added to the rapid
rise in the prices of securities on the
stock exchange, which in some cases
rose four and five points, and which,
taken in connection with the action
Of the trust companies in paying de-
mands on them in checks on the clear

strengthened the feeling greatly among
bankers and the public at large that
the trouble was over.

mobiles. It is contained in the story
of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite
concerning the burden Of Nineveh. In
the account given by this seer OF the
military array of the Modes and Baby
lonians against Nineveh occurs this
verse: 1.-THE chariots shall rage in the
streets, they shall jostle one against
the other In the broad way, they shall
seem like torches, they shall run like
the lightning" II that doesn't de-
scribe a street full of motor cars what

purpose, to and fro." Isn't that the
