FALLS ON HIS SWORD
New Haven Gray Meets Acci. dent in First Dress Re
 hearsal.
WEAPON TOO MUCH FOR HIM
Milltiaman Thrown Violently at Lady's Feet--Rehearsa a Big
 Success.

Wednesday evenings rehearsal of the Grays' opera When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was stage rehearsal at the Hyperion and for the first time the members of the cast who have the role of the northern officers, were given the swords which their part demands. Those aspiring for operatIc honors may be very adept with the handling of muskets, but they met their Waterloo when 1t came to the swords. There is a place in the first act where they step forward gallantly in a body from behind the young ladies to whom they are acting as escorts When the cue was given every man started forward toward the footlights, but they had recloned without the swords There was a clankering sound and one of the number was seen to pitch forward on to the staso at the feet of one of the young ladies in anything but an artistic stage po- sition An agoni2ed expression came over his face; between his legs was the fatal sword. One of his com panions was SO overcome with amuse- ment at the sight that he forgot his warlike weapon and In swinging around brought 1t in sharp contact with the shins of one of his brother officers, They were sent back by Stage Director Nelson to try lt over again After several attempts they arrived at that state of perfection where they were able to walk from the line of more or less fearful young ladies without hanging to the grip of their weapon or losing their equilibrium
 The rehearsal itself proved great success and demonstrates the fact that the company is in excellent frame for the production which Is to be given at the Hyperion the last three days of next week.

HOMES FOR AMBASSADORS.
Bill To Provide Suitable Buildings Re-
 ceives Setback.

Washington, May 1.-The policy sought to be established by the government of providing and equipping buildings for its ambassadors in European capitals, re- ceved a setback today in the Senate, where the diplomatic bill was under con sideration. Through point of order by MT Culberson of Texas an amendment to the House bill appropriating $40O, 900 for such a building at Paris was stricken out. MT. Cuberson based his objection mainly on the fact that the subject had not been properly considered. The amend ment was placed in the bill by the com mittee on appropriation at the solicitation of the committee on foreign relations and the Secretary of State was an object of considerable discussion. A . number of senators voiced the opinion that such a policy had been inaugurated at this time as not only comporting with the dignity of the office of American ambassador. but as creating a fixed habitat for such representatives where practically uni form standard of living might be main tained.
 The bill was passed, following which eulogies on the life, character and pub lie services of the late Senator Mallory and Senator Bryan of Florida were de- lvered and as a further mark of respect the Senate at 4:22 p. m., adjourned until Monday.

EMPHASIZES ENTER SANTA
 CRUZ WITH GREAT DISPLAY

Santa Cruz, Cal. May 2.-In the pres ence of thousands of people who lined the long beach for miles, and amidst the din of salutes from guns ashore and the shriek of scores of steam whistles the first squadron of the Atlantic fleet anchored at Santa Cruz at S55 this morn ing. The eight battleships with the Con necticut leading, came into the bay in single column and dropped anchor In a long line extending parallel to the beach. The remaining eight shlps with all the auxiliares remain at Monterey and will rejon the leaders here next Tuesday. At an early hour people began to congregate along the beach and the water front was black with humanity.
 At 10 o'clock the rear admiraPs barge took off Mayor s. A. Palmer and the reception committee, who rendered the official welcome later in the day. Ad- miral Thomas returned the call.
 The programme of entertainment pro- vided is varied and interesting. It in cluded exercises this afternoon by the school children and a battle of flowers in the street. An automobile parade and reception at the Casino conclude the pro- gramme for the officers. Baseball games and other sports were held at the park.

If this is repeated with due care every two or three months for some years. a substantial cure may pc expected, but it is a slow and laborious process.
 It has been discovered incidentally, that the microbe of toothlessness, when it has got a good start. is liable to be harmful in other ways. It often causes general physical Arrangements which show them- selves in the form of pallor lassitude, mental depression, intestinal dyspepsia. and even nervous prostration. These ef- fects are attributable to chronic pois- oning of the blood from the infected tis- sues of the gums. Thus the patient not only loses his teeth but his health also.
 Malady Attacks the Young.
 As already stated, the malady often be- gins while people are comparatively young. Decay of the teeth rarely does much harm after the 20th year is past. but the tendency to toothlessness, which comes later is much worse. More often than not the teeth that drop out are en- tirely sound Imagine the feelings of pretty woman who finds herself thus at- ficted! The loss even of a single tooth adds a wrinkle to the face-the loss of an eyetooth, even in early youth pelng plainly indicated by line extending from the wing of the nose to the angle of the mouth, which is caused oy the shrinking away of the prominence that outlined the root of the tooth.
 One may wear artificial teeth. but they do not prevent the shrinking of the jaws which invariably follows the loss of the natural chewing apparatus. Being de- prived of their function, the gums shrink, and after a while all that part of the bony structure of the jaws which con- tains the tooth sockets disappear. This is why in a very old and toothless per-

CONGRESS DAFT ON
 FORMING BUREAUS

Washington. May 2.-The bill authoriz- ing the appointment by the President of an additional member of the Philippine commission, making nine members in all, was passed today by the House. Under this authorization the President will sep arate the executive departments of finance and justice under a commission and each will be headed by commissioner.
 Mr. Fitzgerald of New York raised the objection that Congress, and not the Pres ident, should decide whether the depart separated.
 Congress, said MT. Clark of Missouri "seems to have gone daft on the subject of creating commissions and bureau. We have before us proposals for the creation of tariff commission, and l am glad to say that l for one join with the gentle man from New York (Ir. Payne) in op- posing the suggestion. Then it is proposed to create a financial commissioned give 8 lot of men a job of pumping around the country"
 MT. Clayton of Alabama suggested that under the authority of the bill proposed to place another Filipino on the commits sion and that that would make major ity of the commission Filipnos. That has not" he said, been our colonial policy. I suppose the real reason, how ever is to creat another federal place for another pie eater
 MT. Cooper of Wisconsin resented these intimations and in a reply MT. Clayton demanded:
 Who is the man the President pro- poses to appoint if we pass this bill?'
 MT. Cooper replied: "The present at torney general of the islands; man of ability and a fine lawyer
 Well" said MT. Clayton, q think the pie brigade is big enough now, and l don't believe in helping along It's movement on the White House."

 Work Early.
From the Hartford Times.

From the Hartford Times.
 The discovery of the microbe of tooth lessness is surely one of the most inter esting achievements of science up to date. It solves a much vexed problem-a pug gle which, in fact, is many thousands of years old, and which has been a fruitful source of discomfort and suffering to many generations of mankind.
 It is not age that causes the teeth to fall out, compelling the adoption, in these modern days of artificial substitutes. Most people who suffer from the affliction begin to experience it while yet they are in the prime of life, and frequently it commences during the. twenties. The teeth are not lost because of decay. Or dinarily they are perfectly strong; but they loosen and are lost.
 One out of every three persons over 30 years of age is a sufferer from this af- f1iction, which unfortunately is steadily progressive. Unless checked by skillful treatment, such as few dentists know how to bestow, it goes on getting worse, though very gradually, until most if not all, of the teeth drop out. Hence it is that so many people beginning even early in middle life, are obliged to wear false teeth--the prevalence of which habit may be inferred from the fact that one manu- facturer in this country turns out 10,000- GOO artificial teeth--not sets, of course, but teeth-eVery year

son the nose and chin sometimes appear almost to meet. If you will put your finger into your mouth and thrust it up- ward you will perceive that there is an inclosed space of considerable height. Thrust it downward, and you will notice that there is another inclosed space of considerable depth below. But if you should lose all your teeth and survive to the age of 80 or 90 all of this cavern-like structure would vanish away, leaving only fiat bone above and another be- heath.
