The Most DANGEROUS CAPITAL,

London, which used to boast of be-

the world, has become noiser than
Paris and more dangerous than New
York. Nearly 800 persons are now

and how many more just escape with
their lives cannot be computed.-O

 THREATENED WIFE Couple Had Been Married Only One
 Month.

Married a month ago, beaten by her husband two weeks ago, and in the city court this morning to witness against her husband and accuse him of standing over her with a drawn knife threatening to kill her Saturday night are facts which will throw some light on the cruel way in which Mrs. Alexander Giles. colored, of 1275 North avenue has been handled by fate. Be sides all these troubles she has a crippled child which she must look after and another child who is about 13 years of age.
 Mrs. Giles said that her husband, who is employed by Dr. J. D. Smith, came home Saturday about midnight very drunk. She and the children were in bed and he was in an ugly mood. He threatened her with violence He drew large knife from a sheath and held it over her. She got up and fed cut Of the house shouting for police man. Giles was arrested.

PREMIER AGAINST
 PUBLIC EXECUTIONS
Special from United Press.)

Paris, Oct. 11.-Premier Briand has promised number of his friends, ac- cording to statements made by the latter to-day, that when the Chamber of Deputies convenes on Oct. 19, he will demand the repeal of the law making. executions public. The repeal will undoubtedly meet with public ap- proval as some of the most disgraceful scones ever witnessed in France have attended recent public guillotinings. The execution of David. one of the band of Qurderers called the "Chauf- feurs of the Drome'' is cited as proof of the need of the laws repeal When David was beheaded at Nalence he kept up a running fire of alleged wit with the spectators until the knife cut off his head. He sang gaily to the throng. My Last Good Morning. from one of the French opera and shouted: ''Let Ter go!" to his execu- tioner.
 Several executions have been repro duced by moving picture concerns, a spectacle against which the entire na- tion is crying out.

AER0PLANE BUILT
 TO CARRY SIXTEEN

London, Oct. 11.-An aerop!ane in> tended to carry sixteen persons has been built by J. Farbrother and is to- day awaiting it's first test at Windsor. Farbrother is confident that he has made the greatest advance yet recordc ed in aeropIane construction. 'The passenger aeroplane'' is made of can vas and wood. It is 6C feet in length, is propelled by an 80 horsepower en- zine and is surmounted by captains bridge from which it will be steered The chief departure in it's construc- ton is a set of rotoscopes. or revolving wings. There will be sixteen of these at the sides of the machine. two over head and one forward. Farbrother in sists that the rougher the weather the better the aeroDlane will perform.

MRS. FISKE AS
 ''NELL" TONIGHT AT
 JACKSON'S THEATRE
Superb Performance is Assured and
 House Should be Crowded.

Mrs. Ffske. America S eforemost ac- tress, together with her famous Man haitian Company, will appear at Jack sons theatre tonight in Salvation NelI direct from it's half seasons run at the Hackett Theatre, New York.
 salvation NelP' which has fifty been termed a divine comedy of the slums' is from the pen of Edward Sheldon and enlists the services of over fifty actors Many attempts have been made to picture upon the stage the multifarious life>-of the slums, but never before, save by certain of the Russian masters, has the life of the great underworld been transcribed to the stage with anything like the forca accuracy and truth that prevails in Salvation Nell.''
 Although totally different from any part in which Mrs. Fiske has ever appeared, her role in Salvation Nen' IS one of the most congenial she has ever created. and audiences have been unanimous in declaring it to be one Of the most appealing and absorbing parts in which the famous creator of Tess and Becky Sharp has appeared The character of Nell Sanders is ele- mental it strikes rock-bottom and Mrs. F,iske plays it with a finesse and V1Vldness that is breath-catching.
 The stage settings of the play are extremely realistic and are the last word in the marvellous achievements oI modern stagecraft. The tenement street scene of the last act excels any street scene ever seen bfore on the stage. The first act discloses a bar room modelled after a typical saloon in New York's East side. The second act setting, a living room in a tene- ment house of the more comfortable sort is simpler, but none the less pra1seWorthy as regards the. fidelity 1n furnishing and detail.
 Mrs. Fiske's role is Nell Sanders, a scruo woman in saloon of the Hell Kitchen district in New York. Nell

It is Christmas Eve and the flotsam of the underworld the near criminals and the denizans of low resorts gather to pass the evening after their own brutal fashion. Nearby a disorderly house is raided, and one of the in mates. Mrtle Odell escapes into the bar. Her language IS at once frank and extremel amusing. One other woman appears, 'HaI1elujah Maggie worker of the Salvation Army who is royalty welcomed by the hangers on of the bar-room. In a fight that arises over Nell, Jim knocks out a man, the police arrive, take Jim away and close things up, and the infuriat- ed barkecper orders Nell out into the night. Nell cringes helpless. for no door is open to her. Then Myrtle, in a we'll meaning way, offers to take Nell with her back into a life of Hallolujah Maggie offers her a bet ter life. Some dim better instinct struggles up in Nell and she falls sob ping on Maggie's shoulder
 The second act transpires eight years later, in NelFs flat. There is a little come a humble worker in the Salva- tion Army. Her boys father comes peiNFA d1LSI ci1Hl yedIS SpellC HI SlDS Sing, his nature if anything more hardened. Yet the old love between them still exists, although for Nell in a nobler way. She tries to soften him by leaving him alone with his son, but the effect is only momentary He wants Nell only on the old terms He tells her of a robbery he is plan ming for that evening to obtain mon ey to take them all to Denver. In vain she tries every method to dis suade him from the crime. At last. she consents to yield herself to him, then, realizing that she has made the promise more out of passion for him than to save his soul. she tears herself away. As he goes forth, apparently to the robbery. Nell falls on her knees to pray for him.
 For the third act. one week later, the scene shifts to the streets with the huddled tenement houses rearing on all sides, children frolic in the cool of the evening, women gossip across areaways,a and from bedding-iaden fire escapes men seek the brightly lighted saloons. There is movement, laughter squalor, chatter, Quarreling,-all is pictured
