STOCK EXCHANGE PUTS
BAN ON CONSOLIDATED.
New Move Will Probably Be
Against Curb Market.

NEW YORK, May 21.-War has
broken out in Broad street. Yesterday
afternoon the governing committee of
the New York Stock Exchange issued
a formal announcement forbidding
members of the big board from trans
acting any business for or holding n
communication with active members
of the Consolidated Stock Exchange.
The Consolidated will now be cut off
from all COMMUNICATION by ticker, teie-
graph or telephone with the big board
and the members must not speak as
they pass by. The governors of the
New York Stock Exchange are also
moving toward a dissolution of all con-
nections between it's members n the
curl market. The members of the curb
market lar little to say about the an
nouncement. Down on the Consolidated
however, there was plenty OF talk. the
announcement had come as a complete
surprise. Some thought i would be
a splendid advertisement for the ex-
change whose business they say j
growing by leaps and bounds.

C0rnet With Circus.

One hot August day in the year 1850
small boy managed with much in
dustry and atsconsiderable risk to him
self tofburrow a hole under the large
tent OLA one-norse circus in Danville,
". Y. Under the flap of the canvas nc
finally managed to wriggle into fairy
land and draw himself up from the COM
parative gloom of space under the
benches TO a good reserved seat.
The judgment of this boy in selecting
a remote, unguardhd spot to do his dig
ging, his daring TO undertake it at all
and his dogged perseverance will eX-
plain much thattis to follow in this
stoxv.
The circus wasAa one-ring affair. but
it looked good to our hero. Strange as
it may seem the one bright particular
star among the circus folk was the
bandmaster, who did the double stunt
OF playing an A4fhat cornet and leading
hts band. The boy determined he
would become "a circus bandmaster

PROHIBITION FAILURE,
SAYS MAYOR ROSE.
Opponent Quotes Barring of
Apple in Paradise.

PEORIA, H., May 2o,-Arguing that
prohibition does not prohibit, Mayor
David S. Rose. of Milwaukee, met Dan
r. Sheen. late prohibition candidate
for Governor of Illinois, before 1900
persons in the coliseum here last night
on the negative side of the proposition:
Resolved, That prohibition as APP
piled to the manufacture and sale OF
Intoxicating beverages is right"
Mr.. Sheen urged the protection OF
prohibition against the evils of the
liquor traffic. The Almighty, he said,
established prohibition first in the Gar
den of Eden when Adam was prohibited
from eating an apple,
Mayor Rose argued that the Al
mighty's mandate regarding the apple
did o prohibit Adam from eating It,
and argued that since that time the
laws against the use of Intoxicating
beverages had been no more successful
He referred at great length to tht
failure of the army canteen bill, ane
said:
"You can never legislate men into
morality, and this whole question o.
temperance and of prohibition is {
moral question"

Parade PASSES His Home.
The ambition of this Industrious boy
was realized to that extent where It

After that first August circus expert

gown which you wish to wear in the
evening or for informal social affairs
there is nothing better than the new
crepes, which are so soft and SHIN
merry. Messaline and satin are still
being much worn.
Tn the way Of eolors, all of the
shades Of gray are in high favor and
are TO be recommended because Of
their neutral inconspicuous color.
Taupe, which has an undertcne of
dull green, is extremely fashionable,
but the woman Of pale complexion
should avoid it unless it is frightened
up with a touch Of some color which
she knows Is particularly becoming
TO her. Mole, elephant and London
smoke are all good gray shades.
CataWDa, dregs OF VINE, Wlstarla and
amethyst are fashionable shades and
hunters green is also in demand. IN
regard to the blues, which are apt to
be 50 universally becoming, there are
a number Of fashionable shades.
There is a tint known as Edison blue,
which reminds one Of Alice blue, but
is darker. The blues with either a
tint Of green or an undertone of
gray are also good style. Not in a
long time has black been consid-
cred as smart as it is this year.

A T~Welfth-Night Party.

The sixth of January lends itself
for merriment and gaiety out Of the
usual order. and certainly nothing
could be SO unique or furnish more
real pleasure than an evening en-
masque," says Woman's Home Com
panion for January.
After all the guests have arrived,
at a signal merry bells are jingled.
the music starts, and all fall in line
and march around the room, swinging
hands in a circle; at another signal
they arrange themselves about the
table, on which reposes the wonderful
TWelfthNight Cake Of Mystery
The cake is always placed on a thick
mat of holly, with twelve lighted
candles arranged around it on the
table, the shades Of which carry out
the special color scheme selected.
Over the cake swings a large cotton
bell, containing a small metal bell;
the hostess rings this to signify that
the cake is ready to be cut. Each
guest cuts a slice; he who gets the
one containing a pea is made King,
and the one finding a bean becomes
Queen.
The monarchs are crowned with
much ceremony, and together they
lead the dance or games Of the even
ing and preside at the head Of the
festive board. The unlucky p~ossessor
Of the slice concealing a Glove be-
comes the Kings jester, is supplied
with the peaked cap and bells, and is
expected to amuse the crowd.
The refreshments should be sug-
gestive of the occasion, and all kinds
Of rich and paIatable yiands may be
served. The centerpiece may be q
TWelfth-night pie, covered with cream
paper, to represent crust, with a per-
forated slice for each guest. Through
the crust pass a ribbon attached to a
souvenir placed in the pie; have the
ribbon extend to each plate, and
fasten to a place card pinned to a
tiny, grotesquely dressed doll. Bel
fano, the Santa Claus Of Twelfth
Night, should be standing on top Of
the pie; he may be represented by q
tall doll, dressed in an odd hood and
long red cloak. in which he is sup
posed to appear.
AT the conclusion Of the feast the
hostess draws the first string, after
which the others follow her example;
the paper easily tears, and great IS

and odd gifts are drawn out and I'M

"THE DETIL' ON JAN l.
Mr.. Loeb Thinks he Has Procured 4 Great PIay
In Savage Sensational Drama.

1hG LEVIN WHICH Is 10 % pre-
sented here for the first time Jan.
7th, was described BY one New York
dramatic critic. as THE Servant In
the House turned inside out He
went further and called the play The
Devil in the House, III this world
famous play, the Devil introduces him
self without too much mystery and
without red fire into the studio Of an
artist, Carl Mailer. He is known as
Dr.. Miller at eYeryone's service. He
is always at Mahler's elbow and at the
elbow Of the rich bankers wife, Olga
Hoffman,, whom Mailer loves and
who loves Mailer; tanning the flame
Of passion, urging, tempting, tantaliz-
Ing, showing them the roseate side OF
wrong-doing, sneering at their scrupIes
and gioating over their weakness and
his own final triumph.
The three acts pass in the studio
Of the artist and the ballroom Of the
bankers house. The artist and Olga
hold to their ordinary walk Of life
before the eyes Of all their friends.
DR.. Miller they meet naturally enough
and without shock to conYentionality
or probability, but be is the Devil all
the time, The tempter, the betrayer,
the snarer of souls, and in the end
he has his way and the artist breaks
Of his plans for a lawful marriage to
disappear with his lawless love. And
the devil opens the door for them.
This Doctor Miller is mischief per-
sonified. He is amused at his own
im~pishness. By a scheme Of reason
ing, ancient as evil itself, he cajoles
and convinces his victims, always IN
the assumed spirit of friendship. He
IS always the master. he fortunes
the artist and he resorts frequently
to the forcefuiness Of jealousy and
suspicion.
The play undoubtedly has the
strength Of a sermon. and yet it af-
fords all the entertainment Of the
drama. Symbolic though It be, it is
in reality a comedy and it is filed
with fun, brilliant lines and daring
situations.
The company coming to the Opera
House Jan Z IS authorized BY Henry
W. Savage, who, BY arrangement
with tie author, controls the only
correct version of this epoch-making
play. The company IS headed BY
Joseph Callahan, The legitimate sue
cessor Of Lewis Morrison as the
great American Mephisto IN Faust
His support IS adequate, the scenery
supurb and the production ii its en-
tirety. IS an exact copy Of that given
