At the Majestic.

Say girls, did you see it? Do you like it? What do you think of it any how? Of course the IT Is the sheath gown necessarily open sheath gown that is to be seen at the Majestic Thea tre this week. And not only Is the gown to be seen but handsome wo- man with a catchy song displays II. The combination Is irresistible.
 Heretofore Montgomery thought 1t would be the men that would stare, and the women would shut their eyes in mock modesty. But just go to the Ma jestic and watch every woman in the house sit straight up in front and watch without a blink. Not wink Is taken by the women for fear, most probably, of mis--ng single wrinkle.
 And the men.
 Oh, the men situp and take notice all right, all right, but they also take 8 blink or two and wonder what new creation women will invent next.
 Now while the sheath gown Is not the whole show, it's doing some fast stepping. But if 1t wasn't for the hand some woman and the songs, and the general ensemble. there wouldn't be much of a crowd at the Majestic throughout the week, The audience came to see vaudeville and they were not at all disappointed.
 The management of the Majestic Circuit In Chicago seems to be fond of athletic pairs, but he sees to it that tho very best Is on the circuit. keit and DeMont in their eccentric novelty act start on bill that has not been surpassed for its excellence in the city, Their turns are new, and they produc" the laughs.
 Ella Warner Davis an operatic so prano, was seen to great disadvantage last night, and not at all Monday af- ternoon at matinee. There was a train | m Davis just did make the city In time to appear in a borrowed costume last night. The wreck didn't affect her voice, however for she responded gracefully to the encores of an appre-
 ciative audience.
 The Harris Beauregarde Company have the "BinA file BugIe" postoffice
 scene down to a tee. The scenic ef- fects are all that can be desired, while | the male member of the company is
 the typical New EnglaLder he is made
 up toNbe. and his wit and r,anners make
 the audience favorably disposed to the offering
 And then the sheath gown. Charles Inness and Maude Ryan have a smart act smartly dressed. just as they ad- vertise. The. make good from star; to finish. Just how Miss Ryan can make the quick changes she does is a wonder to many persons in the audi ence, and as 1t was overheard in the house Wife. why can't you get ready that quick for the theatre instead Of making me walt all night?"
 Edward ellie and Sidonne nixon have a little playlet. His First Home Coming" that Is all to the good It Is a good finish for the best bill that Manager Couch has put tn the Maies- lie stage this season.
 The Majestograph presenting "Wil liam Jennings Bryan. out next Presi-
 dent, and what he d,d on Labor uny last" is worthy of patronage If YOU haven't seen one of the great men of the day in person. you may find charac teristic reproductions of him on the film which Is seen in Montgomery for the first time.

fact that the name of Paine is still alive

class of people in that city,
Published in New Rochelle is a daily
newspaper by the name of the New Roch-
ellie Paragraph" Furthermore it is the
official newspaper of the city, republican in
politics, showing that it is not without
honor and distinction in its own country.
In its issue of Friday, June II, copy of
which has reached this office through the
mediumship of some friend, there is an
article, marked TO attract our attention, in
which Thomas Paine is extolled as being
the first to advocate the granting of old age
pensions. Upon examination we discovered
that the body of the article was a republica-
ton of one previously appearing in the
London Freethinker, England, and from the
pen of its Editor, G. w. Foote. The article
shows that Thomas Pains was the first man
known TO have advocated such a pension
system instead of John Ruskin, as had been
claimed.
The beauty of this article is well dis
played and its arguments are given in full.
Better than this, however, is the fact that
an American Daily newspaper will quote
from a Freethought paper with appreciation,
and better still when the Editor of that
American newspaper will write and publish
such headlines as the following:-

Successful incorporation of the New

vidual conscious life ceases forever at
death; organize and charter local propa-
ganda societies of people who learn them
publish periodical and other literature
teaching these discoveries; maintaining a
college for the preparation of teachers and
instructors; provide and maintain lecturers
and organizers; receive fees, dues, assess
ments, donations, endowments and requests
and administer the same for the Church or

Further examination revealed the fact
that the article had been sent to the paper

this splendid champion of Freethought that
the article sent by him received such con-

Prophets are not the divinely protected
creatures they were in the days of Elijah.
Freethinkers are conversant with the bear
story, one of the most diabolical in the
whole bible, were two she-bears ate up
forty little children just for having a lit
tie childish fun with an old bald-headed
prophet. OF course, there was little use in
being prophet unless the deity extended
special protection and this being believed,
caused many prophets to arise, in those
days. But in these days things are vastly
dissimilar. AT least so a certain prophet
named Elijah" Skaggs, at Fort Smith,
Arkansas; has suddenly discovered to his
great cost.
From newspaper clippings that have
been sent TO us it appears that this proph-
ct with the biblical name has been SEN
fenced to twenty years penal servitude for
an alleged offense against a Mrs. Taylor,
one of the members of his flock. The wo-
mans testimony convicted him, but it is
also made to appear that in spite of her
accusations, still believing to be of the di-
vince sanction and in close touch with the
heavenly hierarchy, she sought to hedge
some in order to save him and the result
that charge of perjury is now hanging
over her devoted head. Understand both
this man and woman were and are ex
tremely orthodox in their views, gulping
down the whole scheme of salvation pass
ing under the Christian brand.
The story is pathetic in some respects
diabolical in others. 1t exemplifies the ter
rible power that religious pretensions and
assumptions can exert upon single wo
mans mind. 1t illustrates the fiendish
ferocity OF religious hypocrites who can
successfully use orthodoxy to crafty per-
sonal ambition. 1t demonstrates the fact
that orthodox religion is an open sesame to
crime, and it is cause for extreme con-
graduation that our judiciary have the
courage and purpose to punish crime when
committed under such a guise irrespective
of the religious pretensions. of those &C
cused
Among the peculiar features incident to
the trial, we are told that Skaggs, the
prophet, expressed his willingness to be
hanged in order to prove to the world his
assumed divinity. Later he employed law
yers, but these preparations for defense
were not made until he had been allowed a
consultation with his victim, and the pre-
sumption was justified that he fixed things
with her alright so that her testimony
should not hurt him, and for this the wo-
man has got in trouble herself. His ex-
cuse for hiring a lawyer was to the effect
that he had been told nothing worse than
the penitentiary stared him in the face,
and he asserted that he did not want that,
but, if the authorities would hang him on
the following Friday he would be delighted,
because he said it would enable him to
demonstrate his closeness with god by ris-
ing again. Although the prosecutor did
his best to give Skaggs a chance in that
direction, the jury felt that state service
of twenty years would take some of the
foolish notions out of his head.
Now we come to think Of it. who ever
heard of divine prophet carrying the
name of Skaggs?
