ORRHtUM-The worlds stage
seems to have discovered another
Pederewski in Vilmos Westony, an
unassuming piano artist of Hungar-
ian nativity, appearing at the Or
pheum theater this week, In his
first American tour. Attendants at
yesterdays performances in this
playhouse marveled at Westony's
musical accomplishments and were
held in rapt attention by his art
The great piano fairly roared, pur-
red and tinkled softly under his
supple touch and the audience be-
came profuse in it's applause after
Westony had finished his first Sc
lection-the concert fantasia Car
men," by Bizet. The artist followed
with Human in Art" and THE
Four Heroic Nations" two of his
own compositions, playing four mel
odies-the national hymns of four
countries at one time in the latter
Claud and Fannie Usher brought
the audience to both laughter and
tears with their novel presentation
of "Fagan's Decision in which
they. were ably assisted by Spare
ribs, spare built and poorly
groomed canine of the Scotch
tramp" type. There is nothing but
fun and plenty of it for all in
Brown, Harris and Browns little
act entitled Just to Laugh-That's
All" Miss Viola Harris of this
company wears a beautiful gown
that holds the attention of the fair
sex, while it is not occupied with
merriment. All were pleased with
the Eight Geisha Girls, direct from
the Maizeruva theater at Nagasaki,
Japan. Cook and Stevens singing
meets with general approval and
Veronica and Hurls Falls, tumblers,
do about everything in the way of
risking their necks in grotesque
tumbles and hard falls. They are
appreciated. Gil Brown, "the eccen-
trio dancing comedian" takes well,
for he has some good jokes. The
moving pictures are along the edu-
.cational line and by many are
highly priced for their instructive
ness.

scarce, and when, half a mile fur
jher on, he saw miniature boulder
in the center of his path, he
stopped to investigate. 1t was a
fragment of the meteor, and still
too warm to handle.
McGrue pounced upon it as a
prize.
Now McGrues wife is the happy
possessor of a long cherished rock

A STEADY MARKET SLUMP IN WHEAT
Prevailed in Stocks Yesterday Be
cause of Strength in Reading
and Other CoaIers.

New York, April 20.-The strength
of Reading was the principal sustain
ing influence in todays stock market.
Without that prices apparently would
have sagg2d as the sales to take
profits we're the order of tine day IN
a majority of the list
The special strength of Reading
was the tgrowth partly of the per-
sistent rise in prices of the Central
Railroad Of New Jersey of which the
Reading is a large holder. The con
tinued advance in Delaware, Iacka-
wanna and Western AMI the seem,
ing embarrassment of its directors to
find a plan for the suitable djstribu.
ton Of the companys surplus, had a
stimulating effect on all coalers
The sympathetic nature Of the
strength of this -roup and Of the
miscellaneous collection Of specialties
was not convincing and the general
list did not, at any time, respond.
While the demand in the general list
failed to respond there was hesitation
about selling. The consequence was
considerable reduction in the volume
OF the markets activity Outside
coalers and the uurroW price move
ment on selling Bscame more con,
spicuous late in the day.
Tho highly speculative nature Of
the ordinary Reading movement and
the doubtful character of some spec
ialties brought forward into promi-
hence caused their influence to wane
Part of the expression on the market
was due to the apprehension that the
crisis might be approaching in the
wheat speculation
The growing disapproyal of the
speculative movement in wheat is
beard in the financial district, but a
sudden collapse in wheat would not
be without power of disturbance in
other markets The news of the wea-
thcr conditions and of the growing
crop was more favorable again today
and this served to sustain stocks to
sCmc extent. Chicago reported some
in the demand for
for mercantile uses, and this
was accepted as a promising Incl
dent

AMERICA LEARNS
FROM CANADA
Football Enthusiasts Attend
Game of Rugby Between
Hamilton and Ottawa
WANT TO GET POINTERS
1t May Help in the Proposed
Revision of Rules for
Football.

New York, Dec. 11--From all parts
of the United States, football men
gathered here today to witness the
game of Canadian rugby between
Hamilton and Ottawa teams. Repre-
sentatives of practically all big east
ern colleges, together with many for
fer stars from western schools were
present, with the frank statement that
they are seeking for suggestions for
the revision of the rules of the Ameri-
can game. The Canadian game, like
the American game, is variation of
the English rugby. Fourteen men on
a side. Interference. understood in
this country, is absolutely barred. So
are forward passes, but there is much
quick clever passing as man is about
to be tackled. ia man is ruled off for
rough play. no substitute is allowed.

day and compelled 20 watch gradual
ly the approaching flames. Three OF
them were burned to death, the fourth
managed to extricate himself but was
seriously burned. The men were not
employed, but had been sleeping in
the plant. In some way the valve OF
the tar vat opened and before the
sleeping mne knew their danger they
were engulfed. Unable to free them
selves, they saw the tar flow toward
the boiler, where it speedily ignited
They cried frantically for help but

But Doubts His Own Ability to

Johnson expects to stick with Jeffries
for at least twelve rounds in the battle

4th, the colored champion has made
known to his friends.
Amy one who says We are going to
fake the fight on account of the mov-
ing pictures is on the wrong lay, that's
all" was the way the champion in
troduces the subject. "The fight will
last ten or twelve rounds, but not be-
cause it has been fixed that way. am
not foolish enough to think can
knock out Jeffries in the first round or
two. am equally positive he can't
do it to me and that is why | say the
fight won't be over inside of twelve
rounds"
