VIRGINIA WILL LET
PROHIBITION ALONE

There will be no meddling with the
liquor laws and there will be no effort
made TO enact measure looking TO a
submission OF the question sof State
wide prohibition TO the voters Of Vir-
ginla That IS the tip that IS being
passed around political circles There
are many reasons for believing that
the report is true.
That there will be a fight along that
line during the next two years, how
ever, IS believed TO be certain. Judge
Mnnn some months ago, announced
that N such ineasure-providing foI
a submission Of the question Of State
wide prohibition to the people---were
enacted he would. In case the voters
Of the state had so directed their rep
lresentatives, be constrained to sign the
bill. But there has been no agitation
no discussion and no expression by the
people except IN the towns and cities
where local option campaigns have
been held, and this is not believed to
be sufficient to warrant an attempt to
ask for a vote by the people OF the
state at large.
There is another reason for the be-
lief that the fight will come some time
within the next two years. In 1911 the
entire General Assembly OF the State
will be elected-Senate and House
That will afford a splendid opportunity
for discussing the matter before ths
people and letting the people decide
once for all. Then. when the Genera
Assembly is convened in 1872 the move
ment would be sufficiently developed e
indicate just what might be expected
along that line.

ment This Year

The fifteen county assessors OF New
Castle county were sworn in before the
I,evy Court to-day 20 make an equitable
assessment. Afterward the assessment law
was read to them by c. c. Hopkins
clerk of the court.
When the assessors appeared to-day
they found compiled by the various coun-
~ officers a list Of all transfers Of prop
erty. During recent years the assessors of
city property. especially, have caused
much trouble by failing to erase the
former owners name when a property is
transferred. Tho same is true Of some
rural assessors.
The assessment throughout the country
under the Law is to be completed by
January l.
President Dayett presented to each as
SCISSOR the various laws compiled into a
neat booklet. 1t was prepared by Mr..
Taylor. chairman Of the Printing Commit
tee Of the court.
Assessor Cox asked II the capitation as
sessment would be made. President Day
EFT replied the assessors would be in
structed on that point later.
Mr.. Elliott said so far as he was con-
cerned the capitation assessment Is a
nuisance and loss to the county.

OLD STREET SIGNS
RAPIDLY PASSING

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Nov. s--With-
In few years, especially in the down
town streets of this city. many Of the
long-established signs indicating vari-
Gus kinds OF business have disappeared
and this seems to be the characteristic
Of other cities as well. Among the
first Of these signs to go, even before
the ordinance prohibiting distractions
on sidewalks, was the gigantic wood
boot towering above the top of a tall
POST. signaling from afar that footwear
was on sale at that point.
In an earlier day the big boot was
typical of the trade, but with improved
streets and the passing Of tho mud
this anachronism was so evident that
Il could not continue. To replace this
Brobdingnagian boot with an insigni-
ficant, commonplace shoe was out Of
the question.
Before the paint and oil trade was
disassociated from the drug store a
high sack OF kegs. diminishing in size
from the bottom to the top. told plain
or than words that this sort Of ma
terial was 70 be obtained a that point.
The druggists windows were orna-
mented with show bottles filled with
different colored fluids, red. green, yell
low and blue, which by night. with
strong lights behind them, sent these
gorgeous colors far along the street.
At the edge of the sidewalk the drug
gist indicated that he was a Com
FOUNDER by a huge mortar and pestle
but this sign has also disappeared.
| But saddest OF all and most painful
20 the artistic sense Of the last gen.
Grafton was the obliteration of The
wooden statuary that designated tn,
tobacco shops. Across the street from
the location now occupied by the In
dianapolis News office were two o
these dealers in the weed and eacl
place was marked by the carved imagl
Of q red man who. tomahawlS in ont
hand, the other shading his eyes, look
ed out upon the passing throng.
And very noble red men were these
I appealing with special force to tn
boys Of that time who were then read
ing "The Last of the Mohicans" an,
others OF Fenimore Cooper's wonderful
Indian stories. Further 10 the east
where the Indiana Trust Building nov
stands. was the tobacco shop Of
popular little German who had Ameri
canized his name to Charles Hunt an,
who had made a startling departur
from the prevailing style in havin
displaced the legendary Indian and ou
in his stead big turbaned, cross-leg
ged Turk. blazoned with all the primi
tive colors, smoking a chibouque.
The disappearance of the wooden In
dian sign was not due to any popula
sentiment in the community, but wa
apparently merely a change Of styl
which had, without any demand on tn
part of the trade, seized the dealer
themselves as an epidemic.

BIG FEATURES
AT OPERA HOUSE

With a bill upon which every act is
metropolitan feature Of importance
and merit, and two Of which have
never before appeared except in tho
highest priced vaudeville theatres, the
management Of the Opera House Is
making an exceptionally strong bid for
popular patronage this week. Tho bill
gave general satisfaction yesterday.
Aside from the masterful portrayals OF
great men, past and present, by Henry
Lee, which is pure art, the bill As
largely OF a comedy nature
Mr.. Leo captivated the audiences
Just as he was expected Co do. for his
act is the most artistic which has ever
been offered 10 Opera House audiences.
He impersonates famous men, and does
it so true 70 life that the audience is
amazed. The natural poise. the walk.

subject Is copied by Mr.. Lee with re-
markable fidelity to the original. Only
his years OF work as a character actor
enables him to do this IL is the
truest and highest type of acting, the
kind which distinguished all great
actors OF the past beyond their fell
lows His portrayals yesterday in
cluded Mark Twain, Uncle Joe Cannon,
Theodore Roosevelt, General Grant. DR..
Cook, Commander Peary and others.
Gardner and stoddard. who are also
playing their first popular priced house,
gave most delightful end captivating
bits OF comedy with some music inter
sporsed. Miss Stoddard is charming
in appearance and has rare ability. Mr..
Gardner Is both a finished comedian
and finished musician, though his
musical work in this act is largely OF
a comedy nature. Miss Stoddard con-
cludos with an appearance as a
Hoosier Girl OF tho Sis Hopkins type
in which character she shows ability
as character actress. Tho act comes
here direct from the American Music
Hall In New York. where it was a
feature as late as last week.
Divine and Williams, "Tho Traveil-
ing Salesman and the Female Drum
mer," are another couple who started
70 extract laughs from the audience
when they first appeared on the stage
and continued to do so during the
time they were before the footiights

interesting Russian whiriwind dances,
and the dogs do about everything at
tempted by their human companions.
II Is a beautiful little act and made one
Of the hits OF the show.

pretty and clever, also came in for her
share Of the applause. She performs

cleverly that she was a favorite with
the audience at once.

GENUINE MERIT
AT THE GARRTCK

If genuine merit counts for anything,
and it usually does, the show which
opened at the Garrick Theatre ester

OF the week IL IS a bill Offering five
features Of moro than usual merit, and
four other numbers that nc in be-
tween the necessary waits" most

titled "a Texas Woolng," have one Of
the best numbers OF tho bill. The
piece is well staged and tho cost in

TURKISH PALACE TO
BECOME A MUSEUM

Yildiz. former domain Of Abdul the
Damned. at Constantinople, is to be
thrown open to the public as a sort of
museum and pleasure resort combined.
Yildiz. with it's wonderful gardens and
it's marble palaces, for many decades
one Of the most secluded spots on
earth; Yildiz. with its massive walls
guarded Of old night and day by sold
iers and spies. to become a place for
gaiety and good cheer for the common
folk? timidiy questioned the awed
Constantinopie populace when the
news first began to be whispered about
the old city.
Yes. they were assured by the au-
thorities, even so, and this strange
happening more than all the victories
of the Young Turks marks the end of
the old. cruel regime.
The place was so sacred, so dreaded,
that even when passing near it on the
Bosporus the Turkish bOatmen avoided
looking in its direction. Pointing to
the palace or taking a distant snap
shot Of il was a crime which entailed
much peril. To linger in the vicinity
OF the famous walls almost amounted
10 suicide.
The Young Turk YiIdiz Administra-
tive Committee has fixed the following
charges for admission 10 the former
domain of Abdul Hamid;
Admission to park, 25 cents; visit 10
the gardens Of the harem, so cents;
visit 10 the kiosk Of the Red Sultan.
81: voyage around the lake in caique
or motor launch. % cents.
II has further been decided. in order
to preserve local color. that the at
tendants shall all wear a special liv-
cry. The boatmen are 20 retain their
ancient and gorgeous garb. There will
be three turnstiles at the gate and
buffets viii be installed where visitors
will be able to obtain refreshments
while neditating on the frailty OF
earthly kingdoms.
