The talent among the members Of
the New Alcazar stock company. was
vividly brought out last night In the
presentation of THE Light Eternal"
and such was the thought, care and
enthusiasm permeating the entire pro-
duetion that 1t ranked far and above
any play put on the boards OF the New
Alcazar for months.
The whole was as near perfect as a
play could be. The little jarring notes,
the imperfect stage business, the
slurred lines born of hurried work and
common to the best of stock compa-
MES, were eliminated In 1t Miss That's
Lawton had her first opportunity in
strong emotional part and she rose to
1t in a manner which showed her pos
session of abilities never before imag-
ined. Her portrayal of the Pagan
daughter of King Diocletian was ar
tistic throughout. Bertram Lyten as

above his standard. The scenic effects
were unusually beautiful.

British Scientist Returns From
Alaska With an Important
Announcement
AMERICA WARMER, ASIA COLDER
Heavy Masses of Ice Moving Arctic
Circle Observation-Disclosures May
Arise Over Boundaries of British
and United States Territory in the
Far North.

Victoria, B. c., March 2S.-That the
north pole is shifting and the climate
is changing, making the northern ter
ritores of this continent warmer and
support which Moses B. Colworth, OF
York, England has been gathering ev-
idence in Alaska, from whence he has
returned on his way to England. A cur
ious effect of this change. it is said,
may be number of boundary difficult
ties between Canada and the United
States, especially in the eastern por-
ton The boundary is fixed by latitude,
and if the north pole is really moving,
the latitudes change, also rendering it
advisable that the boundary be speedily
marked everywhere by permanent
monuments where it has not yet been
so marked already.
This movement, Colworth says, is
caused by the immense accumulation
of ice along the Canadian shore of
the Arctic ocean, especially in Baffin $
land and Greenland. The incalculable
weight of the inconceivable mass is, by
force of gravity slowly pushing the
crust of the earth, and consequently
the north pole and the Arctic circle
generally, over towards Siberia, where
there are no immense accumulations of
glacial ice to counteract the movement.
The result is that North America and
Europe are getting warmer and ST.
IBERIA and Asia generally colder.

Despite precautions against such an

Attempt to Disperse Crowd, and
Some One Throws Bomb = Riot
ing in Progress at Late Hour.

New York, March est Is reported
between the police and 10000 men and
women who congregated In Union
square this afternoon to take part i'll
a demonstration of the unemployed
The men were killed by bomb thrown
into the crowd by one of the demon
strators. Several persons were In
jured.
A great crowd had gathered in the
square, many persons carrying an
archist banners and wearing red hats.
When the police, $50 strong, most of
them mounted, descended upon the
crowd, the marchers, under the leader
ship of several women, began to sing
the "Marseillaise" The air was taken
up by the crowd, and in a moment the
volume of song drowned every other
sound in the big square. The crowd
appeared to be a good-natured one,
however. and there was little resist
ance offered by the police. The throng
began to move away in different direc-
tions, to the sidewalks and side streets,
and gradually the song died out. From
time to time, jeering, singing crowds
would defy the police. only to break
away and run for safety when the Of
ficers turned upon them. Within
few minutes the square was practical
ly cleared and it was believed that the
trouble was at an end.
At 1886 the rioting was still in prog
ress. Gradually the police lines were
withdrawn and small crowd began to
gather in front of the park, Suddenly
a. man. followed by a big crowd
rushed into the square. The newcom :
ers headed directly for the crowd. and
In front of the park a man in the lead
hurled a bomb into it's midst. The
gathering crowd fled in terror at the
sound of the explosion, leaving several
of their number lying on the sidewalk
Two of these were dead. Some of the
others are seriously hurt
