"THE DEVIL" A GREAT PLAY.

The correct and only authorized
Henry w. Savage version of "The
Devil" Franz Molnar's remarkable
play, which is creating such a world
wide sensation, will be presented at
the Auditorium for the first time Sat
urday night.
So far, the play has only been seen
in the larger cities of the United
States. but it is already the most dis
cussed play of the year. In New York
City, wehre the Henry w. Savage
company is now playing to crowded
houses at the Garden Theatre, press
and public have been unanimous in
acknowledging the wonderful power
of the play and the singular grip
1t has upon the minds and conscience
of the astonished audiences that wit
ness its performance. Every woman
should see this wonderful play"
writes Dorothy Dix, in the Evening
Journal. 1T is a most astonishing
performance" says the Herald. "The
play grips tightly from the first in
stant," remarks the Sun. There were
twenty-one curtain calls after the sec
ond act for the only authorized YER
sion," declares the American. The
other metropolitan newspapers have
been equally emphatic in endorsing
the Molnar play.
THE Devil' is original, in as much
as it gives an entirely new conception
of his Satanic Majesty This is a Wis
ible devil, and yet a devil that sug-
gests invisibility. 1t is a devil that
is apparent to the eye, and yet con-
stantly conveys the idea that the real
devil-the devil that tempts and sug-
gests wrong to receptive humanity
is. after, all, only thought in the hui
man brain and heart.
The character Of the devil, as 1t will
be played here by Lionel Lawrence.
the wellknown American actor, is the
incarnation of evil masquerading in
the dress of the world, and thinly
disguised under the name of Or. Mil
Ter" His especial prey is Olga Hof-
mann, the wife of a rich banker, and
Karl Mailer an artist, who six years
before, in the days of poverty and

MISS RUTH GREY.

The mysterious Ruth Grey, who to-
gether with Mr.. Breese Bell, has been
creating such a sensation throughout
the entire country, has been secured
as the attraction at the. Auditorium for
one week, commencing Monday, Janu-
airy IS.
1t is said that Miss Ruth Grey's
work is SO mysterious, so uncanny, so
unsolvable and so unbelievable, that
1t practically defies description.
However, she makes no pretense of
going into a trance or of being con-
trolled by occult forces. She sits
smiling and serene, like the sphinx of
old, with an unaccountable knowledge
of unknowable things.
Mr.. Breese Bells work is along
slightly different lines, being even
more spectacular than that of Miss
Grey.
Mr.. Bell gives any number of tests
OF the power of mind over mind,
showing conclusively that it is DOS.
sible for one who is in possession of
strong, highly cultivated mind along
psychic lines, to completely dominate
that of another person with whom he
comes in contact.

PoE's BIRTHDAY.

Charlottesville, Va, Jan. 13.-Plans
are being laid at the University of
Virginia for the celebration of the
birth of Edgar Allan Poe. The cele-
bration will be international in its
scope and will extend over two days,
January Is and 10.
The university's greatest interest in
Poe is due to the fact that he was
once student at that institution. The
room on West Range, No. 10, which he
last occupied when there, will be put
in shape for the occasion, and particu.
lar effort wills be made to show Wis
itors that the university reveres the
memory Of the literary genius.

TO ERECT Monument
To EDGAR ALLEN P0E

minister cemetery is more of a monu-
ment to the unselfish zeal and high
ideals of the humble sources from
which funds for it's erection were
raised, it is argued that it is hardly
memorial to which the citizens of
great modern city can point with
pride. On this basis, the association
set about raising money with which
to erect a suitable one. Twenty thou
sand dollars was the sum aimed to be
raised.

Baltimore, Jan. 13.-The Edgar AL.
Ian Poe Memorial Association is bus
lily engaged in completing plans for
fitting memorial to the great poet to
be held on January 10, the one hun
oredth anniversary of his birth.
1t is expected that the Johns Hop
kins University will also unite in the
event and that the affair will take
place in Mccoy Hall, although it was
said by an official of the Memorial AS
ISOLATION, if it was found that the hall
would not prove sufficiently ocmmo-
dious that Lyric would be engaged for
the occasion.
The presence of many of the most
prominent literary men in the coun-
try is, expected, as a number of invi-
tations to such men have been already
issued. 1t is expected beyond doubt
that Prof. William P. Trent of the de-
partment of English Literature of Co.
lumbia University, New York, will be
there and that he will deliver one of
the principal addresses.
The Poe Memorial Association,
which was incorporated on April 10,
1907, is composed of many of the most
prominent and representative women
of the city. Its officers are: Presi.
/
dent, Mrs. John C. Wrenshall; vice
president, Mrs. Jordan Stabler; treas
urer, Mrs. Frederick Tyson; CORE.
spending secretary, Mrs. G. X. Nc.
Cav; recording secretary, Miss Lydia
Grano.
The main aim and object of the
associations organization was to raise
sufficient funds for the erection of a
suitable monument to the man who
is recognized as at the head of Amer.
lean literary art, and who is in fact
regarded by European critics and sa
wants as the greatest poet and short
story teller We have yet produced.

NO SAVING ON ENGINES.
Water Board Stung to Tune Of $1,000
BY Readvertlsing.

Instead OF saving $4,000 by read.
vertising for bids on the new engines
TO be Installed in the addition to the
present water works pumping station.
II develops that the water board really
got stung to the tune Of $4,000 on the
second letting
When bids were first asked for these
engines. after very brief consideration
by the water board, concern which
has its plant near Cincinnati, bid $327.-
900 for the three engines, this being
based only on the duty" or service
requirement OF the pumps. The Beth
lehem company. OF which Charles NJ.
Schwab is the head. bid more than
$3.50, 900. Each bidder furnished an
individual plan for the engines.
Then the water board looked over
the bids and decided that IL might be
as well, after all, to draw up regular
specifications for the bidding The
boards engineers therefore drew up
set OF specifications and a second
set OF bids were asked for. This time
the Ohio concern. which had had n
margin OF about $50, 900 below the next
tucked on about $4,000 to its price.
When the bids were opened, 1t was
found that the Schwab concern had
lowered its price to $336,000. The
contract was promptly awarded to this
bidder. On this difference between the
bids OF the concern which was finally
successful are based the claims OF a
huge saving by readvertising.

down. At this time there was no ex-
cuse why this road could not-should
not, be at once undertaken and built.
Upon about the same lines set forth
thirty-seven years ago. Some changes
especially on this end must indebted
ly be made-notably If the new road
follows the old. past the Burnett place
on Eight Mile, or as it should be Ute
Creek.
The filing plats for the extensive
storage reservoirs of the Beaver Land
& Irrigation Co. must be reckoned
with and the road built to the north
across Dry Creek on the lines of the
road built by the Canon City Marble
company, so on skirting the hills
through Kramer on the Cripple Creek
the hills strike Beaver Creek in the
vicinity of the old Perry ranch. This
would save greatly in distance and be-
side cut out the zigzaging road, some
times soft, up Beaver Creek as at
present. Otherwise the old present
travelled road must be taken to Bur-
nett's thence, probably on the east
side of the hills most of the way to
Beaver Creek. Beyond Beaver Creek
the old road bearing little south was
quite direct to the old Steele Springs
thence to Dead Mans Canon and out
across the mesas this side Of and to-
wards Colorado Springs. 1t seems to
me better that "if twas to be done
'twere better quickly DONE and not
wait for the legislative appropriation
hoped for, and probable. If the ini-
tiatory work could be soon commenc
ed-as it ought to be, Canon City and
Colorado Springs would show their
faith by their works and should there
by gain prestige in legislative halls
for a good round appropriation to
complete the work.
