In Speech Before the lroquos Club He
Tells Why TAFT Choose Him
as Secretary Of
War.
ANSWERED OBJECTIONS
Address Was Fist One Since His Sc
lection by Taft as Member
of cabinet-Why He
Was Selected.

CHICAGO, March 10.-Secre. of
War Jacob M. Dickinson appeared be-
fore the Iroquois club, democratic
organization, last night, and made his
first formal address since his appoint
ment by President Taft.
Dickinson's presence before this
body was objected to last week by
former Mayor Edward f. Dunno, on
the ground Of Inconsistency" In his
remarks the secretary explained his
status as a democrat and told the club
members what sentiments toward the
south moved the president to appoint
him. Dickinson said:
| "If he had selected for this purpose
southern republican, howeve- well
qualified to discharge the duties OF the
office. 1t would not have fulfilled the
purpose he had In mind If he had
selected democrat who had voted for
him, there would have been room for
carping criticism to say, however m-
Justly, that the appointment had been
rendered and accepted as a reward for
such support; and besides, such an
appointment might have lacked that
ligamen with the southern people
which would exist between them and
one who had not left the party. ] am
confident that the great purpose of
the president was to establish the re.
llationship | have indicated. 1t would
4 belittle the bread patriotism which III
spired him, to assume that his pur-
pose was to achieve political results.
Having known me for a long time
and intimately, and having conferred
with southern men whose opinions he
valued he came to the conclusion that
my qualifications and my relations to
the southern people were such as to
justify putting ME in his cabinet.
Having accepted the position, /
shall bring to the discharge of the du-
ties of the office my best efforts and
shall, of course, carry out his policies.
! cannot conceive that any duty can
arise in connection with that Office
that will be incompatible with any
views / have hitherto entertained.
Certainly if such an occasion should
arise | would not embarrass the presi-
dent by holding position of which
could not heartily discharge

Rev. Ansione Died on the Way to the
Hospital-The Cause Of the
Shooting is Not
Known.


NEWARK, N. j. March 1c.-Rev
Erasmus Ansione, Curate at st. An
islaus. Polish Catholic church, was
assassinated in the parish rectory this
morning by three men. The house.
keeper of the rector, Miss Tonista
was also shot and will die. The priest
died on his way to the hospital. The
cause of the shooting has not been
learned. The men escaped.
The dead priest came from Patter-
son, N. j. two months ago whore ne
was assistant rector Of st. Stephens
church. He declared there was trou-
bic among the parishioners of ST.
Stephens, but said Father Ausione
had no part in the differences.
Father Masnicki, rector, was in the
church this morning offering mass
when the door bell rang, Miss Ton
lsta, aged AZ years, responded. She
was met at the door by a group of
three or four men, who asked for
Father Ansione. The priest came
down stairs from his room, greeted
the visitors and escorted them to the
front part of the rectory. What hap.
pened there is mystery. The first
lntimation that something was wrong
was when shots were heard. Miss
Tonista rushed to the room and was
struck down at the door by bullet.
The men then rushed over the falle1
body, made their way to the streeg
and escaped. No definite description
of the men can be obtained. Miss Ton

sTAMBOUL's SHADOW THEATERS.
Marionettes Contribute Largely to
the Amusement of the People.

Marionettes Contribute Largely to
the Amusement of the People.
Dancing in the coffee houses of the
people in STEAMBOAT is only less COM
mon form of entertainment during
Ramazan than music, writer In
Scribner's says. 1t is performed by
the gypsy girls, bare-faced, dressed in
vivid cotton prints and jingling with
seQuins, who alone are immOdest
enough to enter coffee house.
A more elaborate form of entertain
ment is provided by cafes fortunate
enough to possess a court or some
large back room. This is the marion
cite theater. The Turkish marionettes,
known by the name Of their star per-
former, Karaghieuz, are national in
stitution. In fact, their repertory in
cludes almost all there is of a ma
tional theater. In common with other
Asiatic marionettes, they do not ap-
pear in person. The proscenium arch
Of their miniature stage is filled with
sheet of lighted paper. The tiny
actors, cleverly jointed together of
transparent materials, move between
the light and the paper, so that their
colored shadows are all the public
sees. 1t is enough, however. to offer
an amusement worth seeing. The the
alter Of Karaghieuz would make an in
it does the manners of the country.
Sometimes, indeed, it has reflected
them so faithfully as to require the
Intervention of the censor. But Kar-
aghieuz himself, or Black-Eye, is al
ways amusing, whatever may be his
lapses from propriety. This truculent
individual reminds one of Punch, al
though he is said to be a caricature
of veritable person, one of Saladin's
viziers. He Is a humpback with
black beard and raucous voice, to
whom no enterprise is too difficult or
too absurd. He is accompanied by
righthand man, who points his repair
tee and is alternately his dupe and
his deceiver. Their adventures and
those Of the crack-voiced ladies, the
brilliantly costumed gentlemen, the
wonderful dogs, cats, mice and other
creatures that make up the company,
create a scene that the spectator of
simple tastes willingly revisits. Among
the elements Of his pleasure must be
counted the ill-lighted barrack or tent
In which the representations take
place, the gayly dressed children COM
posing the better part Of the audience
here, for once, ladies are allowed
the loquacious vendors of sweets and
drinks, and the music of pipe and
drum to the accompaniment of which
the little colored shadows play on their
| lighted paper.

your whole future life depends
upon it."
The mother, her face tinged with
sympathy which we must ever feel in
the presence of an immaturity that is
hesitating between right and wrong,
laid her hand over that of her beauti
full daughter.
Eyes, DEAR" she continued, Unto ev-
cry life there comes at one time or
another a supreme temptation. If the
crisis is passed, all is safe, but If you
yield at the fatal moment, you cannot
retrace your steps. You are then COM
