Terror with Her Bottle-Mamie Jones'
arrested on a charge Of being drunk and
disorderly, was in police court Tuesday
morning while James Mcclure told how she
had struck him on the head with a beer
bottle. This Is an old trick Of the woman's
one for which she has frequently paid the
penalty OF the law. Her hilarity on over
indulging leads her to WELD bottles care
lessy and should her escort be unac-
quainted with her peculiar weakness he is
apt to see many stars all Of sudden,
at the same time experiencing a severe
pain in his head. He will also find It
necessary a little later to visit surgeon
and have a cash IN his scalp sewed up
Miss Jones was fined $40 and costs for her

low the beaten path in anything that she
undertakes, Her Marguerite In Faust"

the Marguerites who have preceded her.
Her Cho-Cho-San in Madam Butterfly"
her Elizabeth In "Tannhauser," her Mimi

Nor does Miss Farrar's originality stop at
the externals OF the roles she interprets. 1t

springs OF motive and the depths Of char
acter. Physically Miss Farrar is attractive
rather than beautiful in the strict sense OF
the word. She naturally assumes graceful
attitudes and her skill in draping herself
is quite remarkable.

UoweIl,u Proclamation.

It may be recalled by some thoughtful
readers OF The Bee that when Mr.. Daniel
became city prosecutor and also local at
torney" Tor the Ed Howell concern, that
Ed Howell caused the fact Of Mr.. Daniels
dual capacity to be intelligently impressed
upon the minds Of saloon men who, In the
regular pursuit of their legitimate enter
prises, are obliged to patronize bonding
companies; also Mr.. Howell, by special
letters. caused this information to be fur
Their disseminated, and It is thought to be
barely possible that one Of these little mis-
sives might have found its way into the
possession of Mrs. Page and women Of her
calling.
But It will also be recalled by readers of
The Bee that at that very time Mr.. Daniel,
seeking to protect the dignity and virtue
of his office from obloquy, stated, through
the columns OF The Bee, that 1t was his
determination not to allow the boundary
lines OF his public office and private in
dustry to merge so that they would come
out into one line of personal profit, popu-
larly denominated in the vulgar vernacular
Of the street as graft" He said he would
not use his Office to force any man-and
presumably he meant woman-to patronize
his and Ed Howell's bond market.
Personally Mr.. Daniel did not tell Mrs.
Page TO take out her bond with his COM
pany, and It is understood that he does
not mean personally to tell the rest of
these women to patronize his company.

HOWELL BOND FOR WOMAN
City Prosecutors Company Writes Surety
for Mra Ella PAGE.
DANIEL DID NOT PERSONALLY TELL HER
object Lesson of what "a Means 60
BE City Prosecutor and At
torney for Bonding
Company.

On the testimony OF two young men who
are reporters for the world-Herald that
they spent 81 in her place." Mrs. Ella
Page, 2407 Lake street, was found guilty by
Judgt Crawford in police court Tuesday
morning of keeping a disorderly house
She was fined $50 and costs. She gave
bond in cash OF $3.50 and appealed her case.
She offered no testimony. Chief Donahue
appeared as a witness in the case. Similar
cases against other women will be filed, so
1t is reported.
But these facts are purely perfunctory so
far as some other facts brought out in
cidentally by this case are concerned. As
one man who CHANGED to know OF these
latter facts remarked. Now, after all, it's
no small bit Of financial enterprise to
happen to be- attorney for a bonding COM
pany and city prosecutor at the time when
women OF this character are being obliged
to patronize a bonding firm. / think that
shows a degree of astuteness considerably
above the ordinary"
Now, II comes to pass that Mrs. Page
had her bond OF $3.50 made out by the
United Surety company Of Boston, Of which,
It so happens. Ed Howell, late democratic
factotum in city politics, is local agent and
City Prosecutor Daniel, local attorney
Daniel Did Not Tell Her.
When Mrs Page learned she would nave
TO give bond she was not advised or In
structed by city Prosecutor Daniel to go
to Mr.. Ed Howell and apply for BOND
City Prosecutor Daniel, personally OLD not
DO this But someone did. 1t is said that
Mrs Page was readily saved the trouble
and annoyance OF looking up In the city
directory to find a bonding company when
some Good Samaritan promptly advised her
where TO go. And so Mrs. Pages pohu
bears the fright" name.
So far as could he learned from his gen
eral conduct City Prosecutor Daniel was
not incensed nor oven displeased at the
action Of Mrs Page in going to his com
pany for her bond. Close observers IN the
court room were unable by critical IN
spection to detect any outward signs OF an
uprising by the city prosecutor on this ac-
count. Nor was It apparent or even sug-
gestive that Mrs Page felt that she had
done anything which in the least degree
might subject her in the future process OF
her case. TO the disadvantage Of the city
prosecutors vindictiveness.

Mr. Gurley, counsel for the defense, then
asked the court TO direct that the jury
withdraw from its consideration the evil
dence of certain witnesses for the reason
that their evidence did not in any way
connect the defendants with the charge OF
conspiracy. that certain statements alleged
to have been made by the defendants were
made in the absence Of the defendants. and
that the government has thus far CON-

FENCING OUT RATTLERS.
A Precaution OF Animals That Man

Did you ever hear OF rattlcsnake

OF course not. but one made OF prickly
thorns TO protect one from the rattlers
and keep them away2 That Is what
the Arizona campers build. and the
only way TO keep these deadly poison
crs away Is by building one OF these
fences of oktea, n shrub covered with
thorns which grows on the desert

effect an entrance. Imagine the scnsa-
tion of crawling into bed some cold
night TO strike against the clammy
skin OF snake, and this Is just where
Mr.. Snake likes TO tnuggle, In among
the warm blankets.
To avoid this men who work In the
mines have found that snake will
not go near this oktea, and they have
built closely knit fences around their
tents, with little gates TO go In and
out, and beyond this the rattlcr will
not penetrate. II was first the In
dians Of the desert who discovered this
deadly shrub, and they got the secret
from birds and animals. which, 60 pro
tcct their young. travel sometimes
many miles back and forth, bringing

The tuneful little opera, the Bohe-

day evening by the Beggar Prince

The Bohemian girl is unlike the usu-

and belongs to other days when the
enjoyment was quiet and people went
to an opera house TO be entertained
and uplifted and not made to look
upon a hot of horse play, and girls
dancing in tights. The company
though small did well and with one
exception is above the average trav-
