Engineer sowIhy.

Chief Engineer Bowlby told the fol
lowing story: He was at the Y. M.
G. A. building that night and was call
ed up by telephone by Mr. Jones who
reported to him that the Fleming en-
CINE had been humping for about
forty minutes. Bowlby told him to
stop it at once for it was standing or
ders to take no chances but to stop
any engines at once in case there
was any signs of trouble. After this
telephone message Bowlby started for
the plant, catching the next street
car at Fourth and Blondeau. He rode
as far as Franklin street when the
power went off The car went to
Fifth street on the incline and Bowl
by got off there and ran to the plant
knowing that something had happen
ed for the power was off and the
lights We're out He arrived about
eight minutes after being first noti-
fed and found Jones dead
The engine was in good running
condition at 10 minutes to when
Bowlby left the plant that evening
and was also all right the day before.
There had never been any trouble
with the engine excepting one time.
The humping indicated that nut
had worked loose on the eccentric.
This was discovered after the explo-
sion. He thinks that the increased
speed of the engine caused the wheel
to burst. Jones was a practical en-
gineer as far as Bowlby knew and
he believed that the accident was his
fault because he did not obey orders
and shut the engine off at once when
the humping was heard. 1t would

The Devil" which is to be present
ed at Ebnger Grand. FIT. Madison. for
the first time Saturday, Oct 81. was
described by one New York dramatic
critic, as "1he Servant in the House
Turned Inside Out" He went further
and called the play The Devil in the
House" In this world-famous play.
the Devil introduces himself without
too much mystery and without red
fire into the studio of an artist Carl
Mailer. He Is known as DR.. Miller at
everyones service. He is always at
Mahlers elbow and at the elbow of
the rich bankers wife, Olga Holman,
whom Mailer loves and who loves
Mailer; tanning the flame of passion,
urging, tempting, tantalizing, showing
them the roseate side of wrong-doing,
sneering at their scruples and gloating
over their weakness and his own final
triumph.
The three acts pass in the studio of
the artist and the ball room of the
bankers house. The artist and Olga
hold to their ordinary walk of life
before the eyes of all their friends.
DR.. Miller they meet naturally enough
and without shock to conventionality
or probability, but he is the Devil all
the time, the tempter the betrayer
the snarer of souls, and in the end
he has his way and the artist breaks
off his plans for a lawful marriage to
disappear with his lawless love. And
the Devil opens the door for them.
This Doctor Miller is mischief per-
sonified. He is amused at his own
impishness BY scheme of reason
ing, ancient as evil itself, he caioles
and convinces his victims, always in
the assumed spirit of friendship He
is always the master He fortunes the
artist and he resorts frequently to the
forcefulness of jealousy and suspicion
The play undoubtedly has the
strength of sermon, and yet it af-
fords all the entertainment of the
drama. Symbolic through it be, 1t is
in reality comedy and it is filled with
fun, brilliant lines and daring situa.

timely play now starting on the sec
ond year of its engagement in New
York bids fair to become a permanent
New York institution. No dramatic
presentation of recent years has made
such an earnest and magnetic appeal
to the taste of the average playgoer
as this powerful and entertaining
drama has done. With several frothy
musical pieces especially designed for
"the silly season as its opponets,
Paid in Full was the only attraction
that lasted all summer in New York
and Chicago. 1t is talked about ev-
erywhere. People are writing letters
to the papers concerning it, and per-
sons of national repute like Superior
Maurice j. Dorney superintendent of
Police Shippy and Judge Frank Grove
of Cook county municipal court have
expressed themselves publicly in
praise of the play.
One writer says of Paid in Full
1T is a story of man who believes
the world owes him living and with

BANKERS
HOLD CONFAB !
Discuss the Disposition OF
School Funds.
-- a,
WALTERS STANDS PAT
Says the Solicitor Must De.
eide the Matter. ''7
School Boards Funds will be Dis.
tributed Among the Banks and
will Draw Interest.

There was meeting OF the bankers
of the city yesterday afternoon at the
Marion County bank, at which the
question of distributing the school
funds among the various banks of
the city was the principal topic.
City Solicitor, Elmer Y. Boyd.
and the treasurer, C. d. Walters,
were present at the meeting. The
Marion County bank, 1t Is said,
claimed that the school funds should
be kept in that institution because
the bank had agreed to pay the bond
lof the treasurer. Practically all of
the bankers of the city went on the
bond of the treasurer when he went
into office. 1t Is said that this bond
was to be temporary until the matter
Iof distribution OF the funds was
settled. It is now claimed that the
bond will remain in effect until the
treasurer's term is concluded unless
the bondsmen are released by the
courts.
The other bankers were of the opin-
ion that the school money should be
scattered among the various banks.
According to the reports of the
Injecting which leaked out today, the
discussion grew quite warm at times !.
Finally the city treasurer was asked
what he intended to do in the mat
ter. Mr.. Walters is said to have re-
| piled that he intended to follow out
the instructions of the solicitor who
had informed him that he must COM
| ply with the ordinance passed by
council or be mandamused.
In the future all Of the school funds
will be distributed among the banks
an dthe school board will receive two
per cent. interest on Its money.

Puritanism recognizes or Is "the
survival of the fittest' in accordance
with the physical law. The Pilgrims
had survived two "shake-outs" while
the Puritans in coming direct. from
England had survived but one.
The Pilgrims had the start OF the
Puritan, and was the first to estab-
llsh class distinction IN America. All
that could afford to drink beer con-
stituted the arlstocracy while those
that could only afford water, were
the vulgar or common people.
Stocks were used first by the Pill

furniture. Those guilty Of laugh

lplaced In the stocks as punishment.
