ACTOR IS STILL MISSING
Fanciful Theory That
Hitchcock is Disguised
in Makeup"

New York, Nov. Police continue
their search for Raymond Hitchcock,
the comedian who is charged with mis-
treating young girls. Various theories
are advanced as to the actors where
abouts, the most fanciful being that
he called his makeup" genius into
play and is going about the city at
will.
1t also was suggested that the actor
was living quietly in this city and
would be on hand to face his ac-
cusers when the case is called next
Wednesday Neither his wife. it is
said. nor his bondsmen and counsel
have received the slightest clew to his
whereabouts.
Police Continue Search.
The police without regard to the
original case seek to make an i'm
mediate arrest on the strength of six
indictments returned on Wednesday.
the day Hitchcock disappeared. They
continued their search all day yester-
day, canvassing the lodging houses of
the theatrical district. keeping men
posted at the railway and steamship
terminals, and even calling upon the
authorities of other cities to hold
Hitchcock should he be recognized in
their locality.
new turn to the complicated case
was given yesterday when the police
attempted to locate Bella Mckenzie.
aged II years, one of Hitchcocks ac-
cusers. She left home a month ago
and subsequently took rooms IN West
Sixtieth street. According to agents
of the ChiIdren's society, she had met
Hitchcock since his troubles began.
She left her last lodgings about the
time the actor was indicted. The po-
lice believe the girl could throw some
light on what has become of Hitch
cock.

Cat On 0peratins Table.

Tom, a pet cat, with its home at
81 Gold street, occupied by the
wholesale leather firm of the Abe
Stein Company, was patient yes
terday in St. Gregory's Hospital,
where its right foreleg was mend
ed. Tom allowed DR.. Arnold to
put the leg in a plaster-of-paris
cast without murmur. The oper-
alton was witnessed by the entire
hospital staff.
Tom has the reputation of being
the best mouse and rat catcher in
Gold street. While he was chas-
ing large rat yesterday on the
fourth floor of the building he fell
down the hatch into the cellar,
breaking his leg.
Toms cries bought several en-
ployes to the cellar. The cat was
quickly taken to the hospital, and
DR.. Arnold, who is a lover of an
imals, administered a stimulant,
which relieved its sufferings.
When Tom was put on the operat-
ing table he didn't make any fuss
about it and kept perfectly still,
and seemed to realize what was
going on. He was later put to
bed, where he will have to stay
for two weeks.
Toms case was diagnosed as a
compound fracture of the tibia of
the right foot DR.. Arnold said
that Tom was the best behaved
patient he had had for long time.

OUR NEI6HBOR MARS
Has Two Little Moons That WhirI
Around Ii At Great Speed.

In picturing the inhabitants of
Mars, says the London Chronicle,
it has been supposed that we
should regard them as two and a
half times as large as ourselves,
on account of the smaller attrac-
ton of gravity on their planet,
which would reduce the weight of
Io-stone terrestrial to four stone
and make man IS feet high as
agile as six-footer here.
But this is trifle compared with
the inhabitants of Mars two little
moons, DEMOS and Phobos (Fear
and Terror, if we may estimate
the Phobians' size on the same
basis of reckoning. They work
out as men a mile and three-quar-
tets high. occupying a world 20
miles round. A dozen of them,
lying head to foot, would girdle
their equator.
The most daring of all literary
prophecies which science has later
justified is recalled by the fiery
glow with which Mars now burns
in the evening sky, In "Gulli-
ver's Travels" Swift represented
the Lilliputian astronomers as hav-
ing so keen a vision and such ex-
cellent telescopes that they dis
covered that Mars was attended by
two moons, one of which revolved
around the planet in 10 hours. In
1874 it was discovered by Prof.
Asaph Hall that Mars actually has
two satellites, and, moreover, that
one of them circle around Mars
once in every 7 hours and 81 min
utes.
AS the day on Mars is only
few minutes longer than our own
earthly day of "a hours, this state
of things has some curious re-
suits, especially as the other moon
of Mars revolves round it in 20
hours. 1t means that if you live
on Mars you get a full moon four
times a day, and that while % ter
restial days make one lunar
month, there are between four and
five months. in a Marian day. 1t
seems quite 'lunatic' and fitting
that these moons of Mars, should
be called Phobos and Deimos-

Facts About Book of lob.

The creation of the tribal epic
was to some extent regarded as a
tribal work, like the building of
the tribal temple. Believe, then,
if you will, that the prologue of
Job and the epilogue and the speech
of Elihu are things inserted after
the original work was composed.
But do not suppose that such in
sertions have that obvious and
spurious character which would
belong to any insertions in mod
ern individualistic book. Do not
regard the insertions as you would
regard a chapter in George Mere
dith, which you afterward found
had not been written by George
Meredith, or half a scene in Ibsen
which you found had been cum
ningly sneaked in byWilliam Arch
er. Remember that this old world
which made these old poems like
the Had and Job, always kept the
tradition of what it was making A
man could almost leave a poem to
his son to finished as he would
have finished it, just as a man
could leave field to his son to be
reaped as he would have reaped
it What is called Homeric unity
may be fact or not. The Had
may have been written by a humid
red men. But let us remember
that there was more than unity in
those times in hundred men than
there is unity now in one man.
Then a city was like one man.
Now one man is like city in civil
war.-G. K. Chesterton Putnam's.

Women Patent Old Inventions.

The sage who keeps the records
in the Patent Office of the United

been patented by women and that
many of them have made fortunes.
Several experts say twO-thirds of
these new" things are simply
adaptations of ancient inventions.
Safety pins have been found in
Egypt. Now an inquistive savant
has been poking around the
ruins of Pompeii and discoved that

locks off women's necks infringed
on the rights of a genius who lived
in the first century of Christian
era. Such pins in silver and ivory
have been found near a bakers
house in Pompeii, and the suppo-
sition is that the baker compelled
all his help to confne their tresses
most rigidly before assisting in the
breadmaking. Such articles as
tweezers and others which could
only have been found in Etrurian

New Roosevelt Lily A Quick Grower

Have you seen the new Gala lily

seems to have attained UNUSUAL
bloom, as if by magic unknown
to the average raiser of flowers.
The petals are like luminous velvet
Of a delicate yellow. There are
several beds of them in Central
Park, and even when the flowers
are not blooming the foliage is
highly ornamental. One patriotic
woman, just back from Paris,
which is paradise of flowers in
these days, was so delighted when
she saw the park lilies yesterday
that she asserted positively she
would have several beds of the
blooms in her Long Island home
just as soon as she could get her

The next day everything in
camp went on as usual. The most
wary Indian eye could detect moth
ing in the white mans camp to in

the whites were apparently engag-

When the crucial moment arriv-
ed Wright raised his hand to his
hat, when instantly thirty rifles, in
the hands of as dreadly, marksmen
as ever pulled a trigger, poured a
storm of lead into that surprised
body of Indians, who had come to
kill, and instead were killed. Not
one of them escaped, and so sud-
den and unexpected was the attack
and so fatal in its results, that not
one Of them had time to remove
his blanket or to raise his gun,
and they all had their guns con-
cealed under their blankets.
This, continued Mr.. Chance
lis the true story of the so-called
Ben Wright massacre. 1t was
simply question of killing or be
killed, and Wright took the only
sensible course, and killed. Who

would have done otherwise? And
