He Barred Newcastle.

When Edward VII. as prince of
Wales visited America in 1860, Can
ada went wild over him, and in De
troit and Chicago the crowds were so
dense that the party could scarcely
reach their hotel. SO many were the
receptions, dinners and other social
functions in which the prince partici-
pated that he finally broke down
through sheer fatigue and overeXcitc-
ment. The Duke of Newcastle, who
was the princes companion, decided,
therefore, to stop off on their way to
st. Louis at Dwight Station, quiet
village famous for it's shooting. The
prince brought down a bag of fourteen
brace of quail and four rabbits. But
the pleasure of the day was marred by
the following incident:
AS the royal party approached Il
farmhouse an Enthusiastically British
settler appeared at the door and in
vited every one except the Duke of
Newcastle to enter.
'Not you, Newcastlew he shouted.
"I have been a tenant of yours and
have sworn that you shall never set a
foot on my land"
Accordingly the party passed on, and

EodyUe IcaIh TOO MUCH For Him.
Cleveland, O., Aug. 1S.-Manager La
joie has resigned as manager of the
Cleveland American league baseball
team to take effect as soon as a sue
cessor can be appointed. Lajoie will
continue to play with the team.
Lajoie's resignation is due to the
criticism he has been subjected to on
account of his failure to make better
showing with the team this year. Ru-
mors of dissension among the players
on account Of Lajoie's alleged personal
unpopularity have been rife. This.
coupled with the teams losing streak
on the last eastern invasion, caused
many patrons of the game to demand
his resignation.

Moulin Rouge and the Abbaye, have
been visible awhile in New York plays.
Now that their surprises have become
familiar, these shows jolly their faded
spectators anew By showing things
brought directly from those original
places of notorious deviltry. Whoever
visited the abbey within a year may
have seen thin, pale young man dart
away from his glass of absinthe at
lone table, iOstle those who stood in
his way TO the center of the floor and
there stand still moment glaring
around him like a maniac. Seemingly
inc.ted by the lively music OF the or
chestra, he suddenly danced furiously-
without any method-taSing no regu-
lated steps-meTely jigging with all his
might and tremendous rapidity. Again
he came to a dazed standstill-again
went into the frantic dance-repeating
the brief spells of inertness and agita-
ton during five minutes or so That
was his paid speciality and he is now
giving II in the abbey scene of the
play in New York.
The oddly imported from the red
mill is q dance by a young man and
girl both as CHASTITY white as that

which becomes at once an exhibition
of hypnotic control OF the girl by the
man. He handles her roughly. finging
her 1.-THE figure about, pulling down her
mass OF jet hair around her chalk face
and seeming to Tighten and disgust
her; yet whenever she starts to run

goes back to his arms to be maltreated
again for his british pleasure. This is
meant to illustrate the strange power
held over many Partisan cOcottes by
their dependent yet singularly dominant
lovers. Although reDulaive, this pan
tomimic waltz is fascinating with its
psychology.

against the potency of this scene which,
with a truly pitiful story leading UP to

mon sense, should make "A Bad Man S

but this laying out of a fifty-dOilar bill

too sure and plain for the people to re-
gard seriously. They have seen the bad
man go out and expect him TO come
back any minute. So does she. A
