AUDITORIUM

Quite appropriately, 1.-THE Devil"
now being played by the Shirley
company, is stolen play and its
various productions in America
are causing an uproar in New
York. Henry Savage claims to
have the original American rights,
but there is no international copy
right in the way and "The Devil"
is having his own way on this
side. Franz Molnar, the Hungarian
who wrote the play, is apparently
banking money in bales from nu-
merous deals with managers.
Here is what the author says Of
his own work:
II have tried to tell the truth,
to set forth facts as we find them
in everyday life. If thin-blooded
people raise their hands in horror
and assert l have drawn an untrue
picture, then they are hypocrites.
The Devil differs from the usual
play in that l have not sought to
draw a moral. save by suggestion.
Finally, I wrote The Devil for a
comedy, a diabolical comedy, 1t Is
true, still q comedy"

CATHOLICS NOT
TURNED TO TAFT

Ten thousand copies of a special
edition OF the Appeal to Reason, a
socialist paper, containing an attack
on Taft because of his settlement
with the pope as to the claims OF
the friars in the Philippines, have
been circulated In Spokane from
house to house. A million copies
have already been circulated in the
nation and 1t is stated that in all
100000 copies will be distributed
before the edition is exhausted.
1t is claimed by socialists that
100000 Catholic votes have been
pledged to Taft because Of his stand
for the payment of the monks for
tlisir ground taken by the govern
ment. Inquiry among Catholics in
Spokane fails to reveal any con-
certed movement among them
toward Taft, and in fact some Spo-
kane Catholics Of democratic polit.
ical leaning felt insulted when
asked If they intended to support
Taft, as charged. Most of the Cath.
olics talked to secuted the idea and
said that 1t was printed more to
injure the Catholic church than 1t
was to hurt Taft.
One Catholic remarked that the
only time a prominent Catholic
prelate had expressed himself on
national politics just before an cleo
ton was in 1896 when Archbishop
Ireland of st. Paul came out In a

WHERE DOES
CITY COME IN?

Corporation Counsel l.. r. Hamb-
len is preparing papers for submits
sion to the superior court of the
question Of the perpetual franchise
over the present Monroe street
bridge. or any subsequent bridge to
be built at that point, claimed by
the Washington Water Power Co.
under an agreement made by the
city with the old cable company in
the eos. -
This question will be submitted
to the court under an agreed state
ment of facts, prepared by the cor
poration counsel and the attorneys
for the. Washington Water Power
Co.. rhe city denies the assumed
right to perpetual franchise, agru-
ing that the same is illegal and con-
trary to the state law and the city
charter. The company has admit
ted this possibility.
AS the question is largely a mat
ter of the presentation of certain
records and facts about which there
can be little dispute 1t is thought
the case can be submitted before
long. The question Of the perpetual
franchise will be submitted in con-
nection with the city's suit against
the Washington Water Power Co.
for the recovery Of one-half the
cost of repairs on the Monroe street
bridge from the time 1t was taken
over by the city until the street
cars were orderedsto cease opera
ton over the bridge, amounting to
about $4,000.
The question raised by the Spo-
kane & Inland Empire Co. as to
their rights to the ground at the
south end of the bridge, on which
the south abutment and two piers
stand, have not been investigated
rs yet by the corporation counsel,
who is at present wholly engaged
in figuring out the rights Of the
w. w. p.
With the w. w. P. claiming all
above the bridge and the Graves
line claiming all underneath the
bridge the corporation counsel has
a pretty difficult job in determining
where the city comes In.

A writer who signs himself r. G..
has contributed to the Revue OF Paris
some revelations of the neither side
OF court life in Russia. The Revue
says that the writer is Russian
prince and belongs to the suite of the
czar.
He begins with a reference to the
cars attack of typhus fever in 1900
and the wonder expressed throughout
Europe that potentate whose life
wac 70 carefully guarded should have
contracted the Infection. There would
have been no wonder, he says, II the
secrets OF the imperial kitchens were
known.
These are managed with inexpressl-
BILE disorder and are unsanitary be-
yond belief. Their unhygienic condi-
tion Is only equalled by their dis
honesty and extravaganza.
The alleged prince writes that Gen Z.
'ryrton, brother of former minister
OF Marine, called In his doctor one
day, He was fearfully Ill.
s'Where have you been dining"'
asked the doctor.
II had luncheon with the czar yes
terday, and came right home and
went to bed | was 50 ILL.," was the
answer
The doctor treated him for ptomaine
poisoning and pulled him through.
The cars table is financed on o
ecale of enormous extravaganza. Each
dish provided Is put down at 10 r,l-
bles or about s., and each single ar
ticle OF food counts as a dish, though
1t may be only few olives or
bunch OF celery. At great state
dinners the figuring Is still higher.
For instance II there are 500 covers
set and lobster patties are on tho
menu the account put In will be fol
500 Holsters at four rubles apiece
though one lobster easily suffices fol
four or five guests. Or II ducks from
Rouen are provided 500 ducks arr
paid sor at Ave rubles apiece, though
each duck affords four portions.
Wdthal the Holsters are apt to b.
OF doubtful freshness and the ducks
3 do not come from Rouen. The cham

not to be pitied for the work Is not
as strenuous as in Chicago, but life
must seem discouraging to the girl
who has to pay her own way and
begins on a salary of $3.50 a week,
with no hope of getting more than
81. 80 unless he can take dictation
in French, German and English.
'But,' you say, Giving Is cheaper
in London than in Chicago" This
is a popular delusion, for at $6 a
week one does not have the comforts
one would have for that money in
Chicago. There are two ideal homes
where business girls can live for
about So a week, but at one OF these
400 applicants had to be turned away
last year. Board can be had in priv
ate families in the suburbs for 81 so
but the bus fares amount up with
an alarming rapidity.
There are several boarding houses
for women where, by means of denim
curtains, large bedrooms are divided
into from three to FIVE "cubicles,'
which rent from $4 25 a week to
81 so unless she can take dictation
one near the window costing more.
THIS price includes two meals day.
The plan works well in the summer,
but In the winter, when all have to
gather round the fire in the sitting
room and Miss A wants to practice
the finger exercises on the piano in
spite of Miss B's headache, and Miss
C wants to open the window wider,
and Miss ID insists on poking the fire,
there are apt to be complications and
lsighs for 6 by 10 bedroom in a
Chicago steam-heated fiat.
The most pathetic thing in London
is the life of the shop girl. Her
hours are long, many working 12
hours day; her salary Is small,
some receiving $25 a year above board
and lodging, but the majority get So
to $3.50 and olive in" The rules
of the shop are rigid, and on leaving
work for the barracks, where she Is
lwarehoused for night. she is still
under the iron bound rules of her
Arm. Years ago Ruskin wrote a
sweet pretty article in favor of the
iliving-in system, but since that time
neither the English press nor the
English public seems to have had a
good word to say for system the
parallel of which can be found only
In Russia
