Railroads Expect to Save Money a.
Result of Federal Order.
Thousands of dollars will be saved 10
the railroads of the United States annu-
ally on account of the new order issued
by the Postmaster General. 1t eliminates
from the regulations of the department
governing the transportation of mails the
requirement that the roads shall be fined
for failure to maintain schedules on mail
trains. The order also provided that the
roads no longer shall be required to make
out and forward to Washington the vol
luminous monthly reports showing in de-
tail the full performance of each mail
train that is delayed over thirty minutes
at any point on its route. The order
was received with great satisfaction by
the railroad officials, who long have cons
tended that the regulations of the Postal
Department were unreasonable.
Heretofore a fine Of 10 per cent of the
earning capacity of mail train, based
on it's contract remuneration, has been i'm
posed on the road for a delay of thirty
minutes or over at any point on its route,
the fine being based on the distance trav-
eled while the train was that amount be-
hind it's schedule.

their seats arranging wraps and coats.
They all got out safely, but not mo-
ment too soon, for about three min
utes after the alarm flames burst
through the wall back Of the balcony
and swept across the balcony seats. In
ten minutes more the whole rear part
of the theater, from orchestra to gal
lery, was ablaze.
At midnight the fire was about under
control, but the theater was practically
Quilted. All the auditorium part was
gone, and the flames had penetrated
into the section back of the stage. The
girl members Of the company were the
last to leave the place. Some of them
fed to Broadway and to Both street in
their costumes and ran into adjoining
buildings. Bessie Mccoy, the star,
tainted on the stage when she saw the
flames break through the balcony wall.
Some of the other dancers carried her
off,
Had the fire burst through into the
balcony ten minutes sooner or even five
minutes, there might have been terrible
loss of life But most of the audience
of 1000 or so of men and women were
out of the theater or in the lobby lead
ing to Broadway when the cry OF fire"
arose.
Lee Shubert, one Of the lessees Of
the Herald Square Theater, said that
| the damage was about $4,000 TO the
building and $4,000 to the interior.
The properties and scenery Of 'Ths
Three Twins" were not injured.

HOLDS TEACHER MAY USE ROD.

Kentucky Attorney General Finds
Legal Right for Punishment.
The controversy relating to the legal
right of the school teacher of the common
schools of Kentucky to whip disorderly
pupil was ended when Attorney General
James Breathitt handed down an opinion
to State Superintendent of Public In
struction Crabbe in which it is held the
teacher is given the authority to whip
if it is necessary to maintain discipline.
A recent opinion of Judge William Car
roll of Newcastle, that the teacher had
no right to whip, has partly disorganized
the common schools and almost made it
necessary to close some of them.

DIVORCE DUE TO OMAN HUNTING

Philadelphia Rabbi DeplOres "Hus-
band Catching by Women.
'Man catching by frivolous women
was deplored in a sermon by Rabbi Jo-
seph Krauskopf at Philadelphia. This,
he declared, was responsible for large
portion of American divorces. The rabbi
said: From the day the daughter enters
young womanhood the sole thought of
many homes is man catching. No artidce
is summed that shall enable the gorgeous
ly. decked-out huntress quickest to entrap
her victim. ''There is probably no thought
which occupies a young society woman
more than that of being married; there
is probably no thought which occupies
her less than that of being happy when
married or making husband happy.

feet. at which altitude he stopped the en-

Members of the English Aero Club, who
were present, became wildly enthusiastic
over the splendid performance.
