Trespassers Injured on Railroads.

Mr.. ]. p. Dalton, Chicago, complains
with some vehemence that In a recent
letter comparing railroad accidents In
the United States and abroad. You did the
American railroads very great injustice
by not stating the fact (and a positive
fact it is) that over 80 per cent Of the per-
sons not railroad employees killed and in
jured were trespasserS when they were
struck by trains. They were trespassing
on the railroads property when they were
killed or injured. They were uninten-
tional suicides If 1 may so speak, and were
killed or hurt through their own fault
only. The railroads have here no sort of
lawful protection against these unlawful
trespaSsers and should not be blamed
in the least for their death of injury.
I'm every country in Europe It Is q
criminal offense for q nOn-employe to go
on to railroad property and the laws there
provides adequate punishment for the Of
Tense. Had you made this statement in
your letter the public would have been
told the truth, and you would have helped
instead of injuring our railroads.
Another fact should be known and
told, viz: Here we have to report every
accident to persons, no matter how slight
II man stubs his toe against a tie or
tears his finger by a splinter on a railroad
platform, a report has to be made and Is
counted as an accident against the rail-
road In Europe no such reports are re-
uuired or made. In this way We are
forced to report at least Is per cent more
accidents than would be required by Eu-
ropean roads.

electrograph on this weeks bill is a gathering of wild men, with good voices, pirates with good voices, Bob bic with voice, girls and the girl, all with good voices that blend in tuneful melody. Costumes are elaborate, and the scene itself brought forth ap- plause.
 1la Grannon in her singing act and Clifton Crawford who comes three numbers later in his unique mono logue are the spicy pleasure of the play, altogether enjoyable and appeal ing 1la has the sweetest face imagin- able, and as the audience dwells upon It's lovely smile, applause follows heavily upon her retreating footsteps. As for Crawford, there Is nothing he can't do in monologue, from the inim- ltable Englshman with his monocle to the Indian soldier whose story is told in the stirring words of Kipling.
 Eva Taylor and her company of chums, a hit at married mix x-ups again whiles away the time happily, It Is great pleasure to announce that Jack Bandle, the dashing lieutenant, --lieutenants are always dashing- found hN beloved at last to be un- married and lively contestant for his bachelor heart And Mir. Patterby, goodness knows his hair played an ef- fective part in setting the disabilities of the audience on edge.
 Seldom have the Piroscofiis been equalled here for Juggling, and their novelty acts are many. fascinating Tables. lamps, cigars. hats, balls and plates fly through the air to find an expert ready to receive them and con tinue the performance. There are two feminlnes and three .masculnes Tn this act so that no one need fear thai l flying skirts also attract.
 The Tale of a Turkey, as acted by Alfred Kelley and Miss Guise. is matter of hard luck likely to interest us all. But the Dainty Four" sure | ly captivate in their songs and ir dances where wriggllng toes and higf kicking slippers flash temptingly from pink tresses

 The cast is replete with favorites' Yorke and Adams as Plncus and Ploh- sky. respectively, hold the center o1 attraction. Sometimes their WorK verges on horse play, but even then people laugh, and that Is the sole ann of the two comedians, to make people laugh instead they have succeeded Tn making the audience split their sides with laughter. The pie-eating affair and the scene with Vera afford them their best opportunities. The other 1 favorites are Bobby Harrington, the exact image of George M Conan. whom he succeeded in Running for Office" and who takes the part of | Hal Merritt. in love with Grace 1 Honey; Chas. H. Prince as Bill Welch, | George Mack as Bud McGiuness, Adele Rafter. who used to be with the Lady from Lanes" Co.,. and who is by far the best person in the present production; Maud Campbell as Grace Honey. charming and sweet; and Eva Null vaudeville's dainty little star, as Name

thison, the place has all the force and conviction of a chapter taken from the heart of life.
 Certain incidents in the story, and in fact its theme, have provoked much discussion pro and con. Mir. Moody without doubt was fearless in his conception and vigorous in his treat ment. It will be interesting to see what the attitude will be of playgoers in this city upon .'The Great Divides visit here. That there will be debate here as in New York and other cities, is certainty. for the drama is such that it cannot be passed over in silence.
 It will be a pleasure to see MT. Miller again in role worthy of his powers In Stephen Ghent, the 'un- finished" Arizona pioneer MT. Miller has a character to portray which de- mands just the force, imagination and poise which are part of this admirable artists equipment. In the role of Ruth Jordan. the Puritan woman, whose traditions go down--but not without struggle--before the reali- ties and spirit of the west, Miss Mathi- son has part requiring all the deep and subtle emotional power of which she is the well known mistress.

HYPERION.
Henry Miller to Appear in "The
 Great Divide"

Henry Miller in "The Great Divide" the most striking success the Ameri- can stage has seen for a quarter of a century, will appear at the Hyperion for an engagement of three nights and one matinee beginning Thursday even ing This is welcome news to all lov CTS of good drama and good acting, for no play in recent years has at tracted as much attention in New York, or given more satisfaction to the theater- going public and the press of the metropolis and of the few cities fortunate enough to have seen it, as ten play from the pen of William Vaughn Moody.
 For nearly two seasons it attracted large and intensely interested au- diences to the Princess and Dalys theaters in New York, being presented at these houses approximately 800 times. Now it is on tour before it's metropolitan welcome was exhausted because of contracts which were made last spring for its presentation in this and other cities, which could not be cancelled.
 The Great Divide' has been pro- nounced by many critics the long awaited great American play No other drama has so well reflected the manhood, the freedom, the honesty and the indomitable spirit characteristic of the people of our great country. With the first two acts laid in Arizona, in the heart of the great divide--and the third in Massachusetts, there Is offer ed in contrast two of the most vigor- ous and progressive sections of the land. The story of the play presents a conflict between the free, untram- meled spirit of the west and the tra- ditions and circumscribed conventions of the east. It tells the romance of an eastern woman and a western man, whose wooing was strange and whose life together was dramatic.
 Written by William Vaughn Moody, the foremost of Americas younger poets. ''The Great Divide" possesses literary qualities which are very rare in plays that are satisfactory from an acting standpoint. In unctious, elo- auent prose, illuminated by glowing and virile imagination, MT. Moody has presented and solved a big universal problem, in sound. logical and intense- ly fascinating manner. Staged by Mir. Miller and with the protagonists DOT trayed by such artists as that actor manager and Miss Ethel Wynne Ma
