western state. Bertha comes among
them through pardon by a governor
She is not the shoplifter that a jury
thought her, but another and more
usual smirch of disgrace is indelibie,
and when a party boss would marry
her for mutual love. her past darkens
her present and shadows her future.
Bertha Kalich is an emotional actress
of the acute type. with a German ac-
cent in her English and a BernhaTdten
French manner to enforce her out
breaks. The oddly strenuous passage
is that in which she is grieved and an
gered by her lovers refusal to marry
her, and proposal that she become his
paramour instead of wife. She feels
like killing him, though she loves him:
but the governor, to whom she owes
her liberation, will be defeated for a
second term in office if that boss doesn't
help him; and she gets that aid by
promising to deliver herself to the man
she adOres and despises. That is va
ration, as you see, of an oft-repeated
tragic expedient-a woman's payment
of a price with her honor. The cruelty
of the extortion is not less because she
is already blackened by misbehavior.

II is not so at all AS long as seven
years ago 'Zaza' served the purpose
of Louise Leslie Carter. The heroine,
as you know, is an immoral performer
in French vaudeville The limitations
of depravity in half dozen of the cur
rent shows have reused the moralists
to active opposition; yet Zaza behind
the scenes of a low-grade theatre, 1ur-
ing with the husband of another wo-
man. is quite as boldly realistic as
anything in the new lot of vice depic-
ton. My prescribed service is to write
about new things in new plays; but I

difference between the original French
'Zaza" and the Americanized version

Farmvile is so ike a city now-a-
days and the home Of so much good
music that the time has come for the
work Of a musical critic. The best
we can say when our soul is stirred
by sweet sounds is in the expressive
words of Mr.. Roosevelt delighted -
The Scotch Singers made their Sc
cond appearance before a Farmville
audience at the auditorium of the
Normal on last Wednesday evening,
and from the moment that the
"Campbells are Comm, " sounded
out its greeting to the end of the pro-
gram when the heart-moving good
night was said in the familiar strains
of Aud Lang Syne, the singers
held the listeners in willing bondage
Miss Hyde as Reader, Miss Cove,
mistress Of the violin, Miss Crawford
as contralto soloist and the singers in
concert combined to make an evening
redolent with the charms of music,
and one to be remembered pleasantly
by those who were fortunate enough
to hear them.
The Course has been inaugurated
under bright auspices, and the people
of Farmville and teachers and schol-
ars of the Normal are promised a
season of refined and artistic nature.
The work of the student takes on new
attractions when enlivened now and
then by diversions which stir the soul
with new ambition and bright ideas,
and drudgery is driven out of the
life-work of each of us when we com
mune together pleasantly and help
fully for an evening hour.

ket. Senators intrusted with the
task of canvassing the senate reported
today that it would be impossible to
adept a report providing for . free
hides. These senators conferred with
some of the house leaders and were
informed that under present con-
ditions il is Just as impossible to
pass>a report through the house with
out free hides.
This convinced the conferes that 1t
would be futile to spend any more
time trying to reach an agreement
unless concessions were made TO cat
tie interests in the form of reductions
on leather.
Hold Rule Until Report In Reading
According to the leaders tonight, the
plan is to complete the conference
report before presenting a rule to
the house providing for the reduction
Of the shoe and leather duties below
the house rates. 1t is said that the
conference report will be submitted to
the house on the same day that the
rules is reported.
The Philippine tariff section was
reopened today at the requts of Presi-
dent Taft
An amendment was adopted yester-
day providing that goods manufacture
ed in the Philippines must be wholly
of ingredients grown or produced in
the islands in order to be admitted
free to the United States. The. Presi-
dent took the position that this amend
men would stifle manufacture in the
islands.
Steps were taken today toward the
final disposition of the wood pulp ana
print paper schedule, although 1t IS
understood no rates were definitely
fixed.
1t has been uncfficially reported that
duty of 1915 ton would be agreed
to ON print paper, but Represt ntative
Mann. chairman Of a special commit
tee appointed to make a thorough in
quiry into the print paper question
after coming from the conference room
today said: Il will not vote for the
conference report if it provides fer

The SO rate is one dollar less than

house rate.
1t is generally understood that a
vote will be taken tomorrow on coal,
oil, lumber, hosiery, gloves, print pa
per and iron ore. 1t was announced
that if action is taken all of the con
ferees will be sworn not to diyulge the

The postponement Of the next meet
