"WILDFIRE,'-M NIGHT.
Go All Ye People and See the Great
Racing Comedy.

IRtClHS SOIneuy.
Laughter is the constant accom-
paniment of that great racing COM
edy, "Wildfire," in which Lillian
RusselPs only rival and successors,
Pauline Hall, "the beautiful" will
appear at the Lyric on Monday, Nov.
8th. Some critics declare that
"Wildfire" is the best racing play
ever written-better even than 'In
Old Kentucky" and Checkers" Be
it as it may, "Wildfire" is a comedy
that is a comedy-filled with genu-
inc fun-running over with laughs
and with a strong, convincing plot
that keeps the interest piqued to the
very end. 1t is scarcely surprising
that "Wildfire" should be in a class
by itself, when one considers it's
distinguished source. George Broad
hurst, author of "The Man of the
Hour" and other high class success
ses, and George V. Hobart, a hui
morist known to the laughing world
as "Dinkelspiel," and also the au-
thor of Marie Cahill's present popu-
lar hit, "The Boys and Betty" are
the writer's of "Wildfire." The
hand of Mr.. Broadhurst can be iden-
titled in the strength of the plot and
the colorful atmosphere, while Ho-
bart's inimitable slang drops aptly
from the mouth of that great char
acter hit, Bud" the stable boy.
AS in the case of her predecessor,
Lillian Russell, the many friends of
Pauline Hall doubted her wisdom
in turning her back upon the field
of lyrics, where she has so long
stoop at the top, to venture into
straight comedy-doubted until the
night of her first appearance.

Wireless Railroad Telephone.

The Erie Railroad tested a wire
less telephone Monday, which, it is
believed, will not only make tele-
phonic communication with distant
points possible for train passengers,
but will act also as an automatic
brake for trains which are entering
upon a danger zone covering two
miles ahead. The telephone is the
invention of Fred Lacroix, a young
electrical engineer Of San Antonio,
Texas, and is operated by a third
rail. This rail is not deadly and one
may touch it without serious results.
The test wasmade on a train NOV
ing between Newark and South Pat
erson at an average speed of about
thirty-five miles an hour.
The contrivance is much like an
ordinary telephone. 1t is operated
by the engineer and is suspended in
the locomotive cab. 1t records on
clock arrangement each stop of the
train, and when there is trouble
on the road within two miles in ad-
vance of the train the device auto
matically sets the air brakes, the de-
gree of their application being de-
termined by the engineer, who may
set the machine to apply the brakes
Immediately or by degrees.
The test train was run close to a
local, and when it reached the dan
ger zone the air was automatically
cut off and the train brought to a
standStill within sixty feet, despite

THE BEST BOOKS.

The list that Dr. Eliot made, of books that one should read, to round bis education out, is very fine indeed. ] recommend these volumes all; they represent the best-the masterpieces of the world, the gems of East and West. l strongly urge the young to keep these volumes on the shelf, but I'll be hanged if will read such dreary stuff myself. A work by Louis Joseph Vance is good enough for me; and Arthur Stringer's corking yarns just fill my soul with glee; and when .l comes to deathless song, my heart with rapture swells, the while l study out the curves of clever Carrie Wells. Another book of recent time has stir red this heart of mine; the Great Of ficial Baseball Guide, for A. D. nine teen-nine; and when yearn for heavy stuff, to stimulate the brain, there's nothing wrong with "Shakespeare's Death" by Saml Clemens Twain. Of all the volumes in the world, that soothe the stricken soul, call this best, these swelt'ring days.

GOV. HoeeATT MISTAKEN.

Gov. Hoggatt, of Alaska in the at tempt to work up public sentiment against the wIchersham bill for giv- ing the territory a legislative assem- ply, either willfully mlsrepresents or i7 ignorant of ;he legislation now in existence for the government of the organized territories of the United States. In an interview at Cordoya he Is reported as saying that the bill win have little value, flor it only gives the people the right to meet and pass resolutions, congress still retain ing the real power" He said that it would therefore, entail an additional expense. while giving no legislative power.
 This criticism is based on the fact that the Wickersham bill provides that all legislation passed by the Al aka territorial assembly must be sub mltted to congress, and if disapproy. ed by that body shall be void and of TO effect. AS matter of fact this provision is taken from the organic laws of both Arizona and New Mex ico. A similar provision was contain ed in the organic acts under which nearly all of the former territories were organized. The oregon, the Washington, the Idaho and the Nev- ada territorial legislatures had ident- ically this restriction on their powers, but 1t did not operate to impair the powers of the legislative assemblies c any serious degree.
 AS matter of fact the provision is surplusage. In the absence of any such provision, congress, having su- preme control of all the territories, can, at any time, in its discretion, alter or repeal any act of any territor lal legislature, and has done so on occasion, but not to any notable de gree, because congress usually has ether matters to think of than the To- cal legislation for distant territory.
 The wickersham bill gives the peo- pie of Alaska as much control over local legislation as any other terri tory ever had and that is all that the Will ask, until such time as the ter Iitory is erected into state. Mis- representation, such as Gov. Hoggatt has indulged in, will not create any sentiment against the Wickersham bill # the facts are looked into.-Se- attle P. l.

Mrs. Sayler and Dr. Miller were both held and were charged jointly with re- sponsibllity for the death of the slain banker. Golda Saylcr, seventeen years old, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. John Sayler and for whose sake the banker is said to have shielded the relations he suspected between his wife and Dr. Miller, has issued statement In which she says the latter was good friend to her and her mother and, she be- llcves. killed her father only in self defense. Mrs. Miller has said she was confident her husband had done her no wrong. and she expects to stand by him in his trial.

SATAR KHAN.

der the constitution that was granted on Jan. 1. 1907. The shah has ignored and withdrawn the constitution, which he signed when he ascended the throne. Ills course has resulted in widespread unrest in Persia, which in some sec tions has approached anarchy. The movement to compel him to observe the constitution gained force until, fol lowing the dissolution of parliament in 1908, a great part of the country broke put in instruction. The NationaliSts were especially strong at Tabriz, which fell into their hands after fierce lighting.
 While the shah was trying to cope with this situation in the north the Bakhtlari trlbcSmen, the fighting race of Persia, rose in the south and early this year captured ISpahan, 2l0 miles south of Teheran. The tribcSmcn then began the long march to the capital, and their advance guard arrived in front of Teheran in June.
 The British and Russian govern ments have been eXertlng their intiu- ence to induce the shah to summon a representative assembly to bring the state of anarchy to an end, and Rus sla. acting in full accord with Great Britain, sent q military expedition into Persia from Baku for the protection of foreigners.
 The Persian empire Is divided into British and Russian spheres of infu- ence. and these complications, together with the Turkish aggression on the western frontier. have served to h. crease the hoStilities between the in- ternal factions.

At Erin's faint form, and torn attire
Freedoms war marks, that on her
