Complain that Stencil is Nau.

NOTIFY HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

Complaints are coming from river
men and especially those now In
charge OF the Aver a Lord Tie com
pany's fleet over the dumping OF raw
bones at the head of the Tennessee
island Just opposite the foot of Ken
lucky avenue and near the intake of
the water company. Someone has
evidently been smuggling the bones
over TO the island in skins or other
small craft during the night until
several cart loads have been strewn
along the bank to dry out.
As n result a strong stencil is
coming from the island and the
crews OF the tie company's boats are
hardly able to endure IL. The bones
have doubtless been gathered from
Paducah slaughterhouses and taken
there TO dry out. At intervals the
stencil can be distinguished along
the river front here.
The matter was taken In hand this
morning by Capt. Henry Baker, gen.
eral manager of the Aver a. Lord Tie
company. and II will be reported to
the city health department in view
of having the nuisance abated. II is
said that the bones have been
dumped so near the intake pipe OF
the Paducah Water company that

EFFECTIVE Scene
IN F|RELIGHT GLOW
"The Tanning of Helen" Happily
Cast and Handsomely
Staged at Alcazar
By WALTER ANTHONY

There they stood in the freight glow
of a third act at the Alcazar theater
Philip Carroll, young American play
wright, and Sergeant Simpson, stage
door tender of the Imperial theater,
London. Simpson tells Carroll OF the
love OF 40 years. He was sergeant
once and he lost an arm in India fight
ing with Fighting Bob" His wife,
bride then, took care of him, and now
is charwoman. Carroll, the play
wright. whose drama is finally sue
cess, tells him his story-the story
which THE Tanning of Helen has de-
veloped prettily for two acts. Carroll
has lost his happiness-his sweet
heart-though he has won the world s
applause. Sergeant Simpson has won
his happiness, though he has lost the
worlds approving.
The two, as placed on the Alcazar
stage, make as pretty a picture as L
have seen for long time. and their
little scene. as taken in by the big
audience at the Belasco house last
night, is proof that sentiment and
chivalry are not dead in the world, for
there was mighty applause hesitating
for expression all through the episode,
and when it was finished so cleverly-
by Augustus Phillips and Charles Dow
Clark-the Endorsement came enthu-
siastically.
AN EFFECTIVE SCENE
The scene. particularly referred to,
is the one in which Phillip Carroll s
play is being produced at the Impe-
rial theater. He has starved in Lon
don-has this American playwright
and has peddled his play from door
TO door until he is broken and heart
sick. Marion, an actress of genius,
though as unrecognized as he is, finally
gets his play produced. Carroll en-
braces her in gratitude. and the girl
he loves. Helen Cabot. sees the en-
brace and doesn't understand. She tells
him-this is in spite and also in the
second act-that she has promised TO
marry the marquis Of Woodcote. So,
while his play is a great success and
CarroIls heart is breaking. He meets
the stage door tender and the colloquy
l have spoken of takes place.
1t is one of the best planned scenes
have witnessed in many a day, and
Clark, who appears but for the mo-
ment as the one armed door keeper,
does his little piece of work with the
skill of a diamond setter. The work is
small. but brilliant. And the fire from
the crate behind the scenes ar the I'M
perial theater casts a reddish glow on
the art of these two players as they
tell their divergent and anamolous
stories.
SWEETHEART RETURNS
1t need hardly be said, l presume,
that CarrilFs sweetheart returns before
the third act of The Tanning of Helen"
is over. and before the playwright s
play within the play is ended Who
brings her back? Marion, the Leading
woman in Carroll's play. of course
the young woman who had managed TO
get the mana gers attention and ap-
provaI directed TO the neglected play.
Marion is Bessie Barriscale, and she is
wellnigh perfect in the role.
Carroll is played by Augustus Phil

story, is first in importance Phillips
is doing the best work of his career at

At conference held yesterday
among the harbor commissioners, the

of supervisors, representatives of the
merchants association and others in
terested, assurance was given that the
new piers of the south end of the
water front would soon be connected
by good roads with the rest of the
city. A streetcar line to the new
wharves was also promised.
President Stafford was invited by
the commercial organizations of the
city some time ago to tell them what
they could do to help along the good
work that the harbor commissioners
were doing.
Connect us with the mainland" was
his reply.
BY way of explanation he invited a
party of representative men to visit
the water front. He showed the visit
ors the new wharves built. and under
construction and called their attention
to the fact that the city had provided
no roads on which to carry the traffic
to ard from this part OF the water
front This conference was followed
bv others and yesterday it seemed as If
something will result from this COM
ing together of state and city inter-
ests.
Allan Pollok, representing the SUI
pervisors, promised that King, Town
send and First streets would be i'm
proved as speedily as possible to the
water front and that franchise
would be offered to the highest bidder
for a carline between Third street and
the water front in the vicinity of the
Pacific Mail wharves. 1t was also de-
cided that the commerce of the port
necessitated the cutting through OF
