The Best Explanation.
Chicago Tribune.
Golfers Weekly, commenting briefly on
the closing OF two American theatres in
which Germas plays were produced says
there is at least one explanation which is
true. il is that Germans who emigrate to
the United States usually have some
knowledge OF the English language and
American life, and before long speak
English with fiuency and Niopt American
customs In the opinion Of Golfers Week
~ the closing OF German theatres grows
from the same causes which make OF
German immigrants such excellent Ameri-
can citizens
There is another and a truer expana-
ton It is the wonderful Industrial growth
OF Germany. The country which once
gave the United States so many excel
lent citizens gives It only few now. Be
tween 1901 and 1907 there came only a
quarter of a million instead of the mil
lion or more who would have come IL
there had not been such an incessant de-
mand for labor in Germany. That is why
the United States cannot draw on Ger
many for trained artisans. sturdy farm
ers, and professional men to the extent
II once did.
II the tide OF German immigration had
kept up German plays would still be given
in many American cities, Chicago includ-
ed, and the audiences would be large. AS
Golfers Weekly says. many children born
here Of people who came from the father
land can neither read nor talk the lam
guage of their parents. The German the
ater does not appeal to them. 1t has to
depend for its support on immigrants rear
ed in Germapny, and they. unfortunately
are coming only in small numbers.

Astors Seeking a Separation:
Referee Ready Take Evidence

New York, Oct. 27.-Attorney Charles
H. Young, the referee appointed in the
suit Of Mrs. John Jacob Aston, who is
seeking a legal separation from her ia
nous husband, has for the last week
been preparing to take evidence and
will begin his work Immediately. It is
expected that he will complete his task
and report back to the court within a
month. Referee Young went to Alba
ny and is expected back at his home in
New York today, when he will COM
plete plans for taking the testimony.
Complete silence is being maintained
by the lawyers in the case. Lewis
Cass Ledyard, counsel for Mr.. Astor,
declined to see reporters. John H.
Cadwallader, representing Mrs. Astor,
also refused to say a single word as tn
the facts set up by Mrs. Astor in her
summons.
Much Of the evidence will be taken
in New York by Referee Young. Par.
of the testimony will be in the form of
affidavits. From present appearances
but comparatively few witnesses will
be called.
The marital differences of the As
tors was the principal topic of con

Scott and Company paid $9.943, and
the American Seeding Machine Co.,

An interesting story is connected
with the promptness with which the
Pennsylvania company meets it's tax
payments. Several years ago, the CON-
pany sent in its check to cover the fall
installment of it's taxes. and it was
found that the check was not suffi-
cient- The check was returned to the
officials of the company by the coun-
ty treasurer. .
It Taught a Lesson.
On the day after the taxes became de-
lipquent, the company's check for the
proper amount was received. The
treasurer. who was a f~ar-seeing indi-
vidual, refused to accept the check un.
less the delinquent fees were also
forthcoming. The treasurer received
6 per cent as his share, which amount
ed to approximately $500. Since
then the company has paid its take:
