The mere announcement thatthe people
favorite play Human Hearts" is coming
to our city, is matter Of much import
to the theategoers in our midst. No
melodrama of modern times has enjoyed
the vogue that has been accorded to W.
E. NankevilIe's solid substantial success.
Human Hearts" Tne reason isapparent.
The play is interesting from the rise Of
the curtain on the first act until the final
curtain falls. The cIimaxes are strong
and exciting. and the story is one that
will appeal TO all classes Of theatregoers.

be. The situations. lines, and incidental
business OF the play. are Of such nature
that they compel the undivided attention
Of the spectators. A strong vein Of comedy
runs through the plsy but it is so placed
that never at any time does II conflict
with the more serious scenes. The author
has been careful to preserve the dramatic

NATURAL ENEMY OF MOSQUITO
Fish Known, as "Millions" Relied On
to Exterminste the Pest That
Spreads Malaria.

That the destruction c' mosquitoes
and the elimination of malaria should
be brought about by the greedy ap-
petite of any tribe of the piscatorial
species, seems like far-off and i'm
probable dream but such an event
is the hope and prophecy OF men whc
have been experimenting with a min
ute fresh yater fish from Barbados
known as millions" (Cirardinus pecil
loides), large number of which have
recently been presented to the zoo
logical gardens in London.
They are of special interest be
cause of their supposed action In
preventing malaria. This d.se25e is
far less prevalent in Barbados thar
in other West Indian islands, and II
is claimed by many that this is due
to the Pre- ence Of millions" in the
fresh water pools.
The little fish is very yo-acious and
destroys large numbers of the larvae

UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF
FORAGE ON
MEDICINE BOW FOREST

FORT COLLINS, COLO, OCT. %, O9.
A recent inspection of the graz
ing area in the Medicine Bow For
est shows that there has been an
an unusual amount of forage during
the past season. and that the cattle
are coming off the range in better
condition than for many years.
This is undoubtedly due to two
causes. First, on account of the
exceptional season for the growth
of forage, and second, on account
of the protection given the erea by
the Forest Service. Last year
was very hard year on the range
and had the grazing area been over
stocked, there could not possibly
have been the amount of forage
which was produced this year. The
stockmen indicate that they are en-
tirely satisfied with the treatment
accorded them by the Forest Ser
vice, and state that the 25c paid
per head for the grazing season is
of little consequence when COM
pared with the great benefits de-
rived.
Not,only is each grazer granted
a particular area upon which to run
his stock. but he is required to fur
nish sufficient salt.and the number
of bulls required by state law. Too
frequently in the past the small
stock owner depended largely upon
the man owning the larger herd to
furnish salt and bulls. BY requir-
ing everyone to comply with the
regulations on this and other things.
no one stockman, however small or
large, can impose upon his neigh
Dor. 1t is proven beyond question
that stock well salted put on not
less than three per cent more fat
than those which are deprived of it..
Itdoes not pay to run cattle on
the range all summer and have
them come off in poor condition in
the fall. This year has shown con-
clusiyely that when there is an a.
bundance of feed. range cattle can
be made to put on almost as much
fat as the corn fed stock.
Experiments are being made in
regard to sowing other forage
plants on the National Forest so as
to increase the amount of produc-
ton. 1t will be only a comparative
ly short time before the capacity
for running stock will be very ma
terially increased on all of the Ma
tional Forests.

TALL AFRICAN GRASS
Beautiful Scenes at Night on the
Veldt When Fire Spreads.

SpEInBneiu ntpubIithu.
Unlike a good deal of South Africa.
Rhodesia is largely wooded. In some
places the forests are of value but lara,
proportion are not valued for their tim
ber The grass in this part of Africa
grows to phenomenal height in the val
leys, and especially in the valleys Of the
Sabi and Zambesi rivers il reaches its
greatest height. To say that the grass is
often twelve feet high is no eaag3eration.
Naturally. it is very easy TO lose ones
way in this grass IL one is unfortunate
enough TO stray from the beaten track.
II is the custom there to burn this grass
off each year when it gets dry. This is
usually in August and September. or even
in October. Fires burn for miles. and
as the country is largely a wilderness
little damage is done by this method of
destroying the grass. IT is beautiful
sight at night in the fire season TO
the hills for miles around encircled with
flames.
After the grass has been burned the
rainy season usually begins. and 1t is then
that the country IL at it's prettiest. The
grass Is then green ard the toiiag e on the
trees is beautiful. The old leaves dlop
off gradually and the new ones take their
place before the trees are bare. The new
leaves are OF all shades of the rainbow,
and 1t is much like the fall scenery In
this country when the dead leaves are
falling from the trees. Waterfalls are
numerous in the mountains. and there are
many of great height, although the rivers
are usually small in volume.

Intelligent Philanthropy.

From the Springfield Republican
One of the most useful persons in the
United States is Mrs. Russell Sage of New
York city, whose methods OF spending
the great fortune her husband loved to
accumulate must command the respect of
everybody She has called to her aid
those best qualified to devise means by
which money can be employed to benefit
humanity and the intelligence which
marks the giving by Mrs. Sage surpasses
that employed by the other holders of
great fortunes in the United States. One.
Of her recent und srtallinSs is the cree
ton OF a large number OF cottages near
her home at Cedarhurst. l.. L., which
are to he let to young working people at
a low price, the rent of no cottage 10 ex-
cecd 81, month. Mrs. Sage last year
built forty siX-room cottages. which arr
all occupied by happy families. and she
has just bought rcarly fifty lots more
upon which additional homes Will he erect
ed. The cottages are we'll fashioned ana
fitted with modern improvements. 1t is To
ne hoped that Mrs. Sage permits her ten
ants to buy their homes at reasOna bic
prices. The more such enterprises, freed
from speNulativ greed. can he conducted
in the neignborhood Of New York city.
the better for the future. Mrs. Sage $

moved, but also all of the masonry
within the bulkhead lines and all of the
piles and rip-rap that will interfere with
navigation.
The floor of the new bridge is twenty
two feet higher than that OF the old
bridge. and this was done in order 10
permit practically all river craft TO pass
under it without raising the draw. there
by decreasing very much the annoyance
which was experienced on the old
bridge. through the delay in traye1-fo1
as long as twenty-five or thirty minutes
at a time. The bridge was built at this
great height in order to avoid a grade
crossing at the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks on the Anacostia side, and a
similar grade crossing OF the Pennsyl-
vania tracks on the city side, when their
tracks arc extended to the United States
navy yard. which work is expected TO
be done before many years.
Advantages of New Structure.
The advantages of the new structure
over the old are that the new one is
designed to carry cars very much heavier
than those now in use, and to support
the heaviest loads carried anywhere in
the city. The old bridge draw was
operated by hand, requiring about ten
minutes. with two or three men en-
ployed. whereas, the new bridge draw.
being operated by electricity, can. when
necessary, be raised and lowered in about
two minutes and when the proposed
motor is installed for operating the center
pin, it should he operated in less time
than at present.
II is related that a certain horseman
was riding across the old bridge just
before an appropriation for the new
bridge was made. The wOrkmen had
torn up part Of the hooring in making
needed repairs. Not knowing OF the
opening, the rider and horse both went
into the hole. but neither was seriously
injured Word was spread rapidly tha.
the bridge had fallen III and on the
strength OF this, it is claimed. Congress
was influenced to make the appropria-
ton.
When the river is finally improved
above the bridge there will be a cham
mel practically from abutment to abut-
ment of the new bridge. and. therefore,
the raising of the new bridge to it's pres
ent height will be a material asset TO
navigation.

Santelmann's Record.
William Henry Santelmann, leader OF
the Marine Band was born September II,
1853. in Offensen Hanover, Germany. He
received his final education in practical
and theoretical music in Leipzig. where he
also served in the military band of the
13ith Regiment of Infantry. He came to
the United States in $751; and after COM
rleting a four-month engagement In Phil
adelphia, Pa, enlisted in the Marine
Eand. In September. 1895. he severed
lis connection with that organization and
.orned an orchestra of his own.
The following year he was appointed
leader OF the Columbia Theater orchestra
n this city. and after several years in
that capacity he was appointed to his
present position.
Although Mr. Santelmann receives the
pay of first lieutenant in the Marine
Corps, he has never been commissioned
u lieutenant. In recognition OF his eff
cient work as leader of the Marine Band
he received the degree of doctor of music
from the George Washington University
the first of the many leaders of the band
to be so honored. He is a Mason of high
degree, a member of the order of 3. p.
o. Elks. Admiral Porter Garrison, No. q,
Army and Navy Union. and other frater-
nal and social organizations.
Second Leader Smith.
Walter F. Smith, the second leader of
the band, was born in Vernon county,
Md. He removed with his parents to
Michigan wien he was three years of
age. He enlisted in the United States
Marine Corps Band November 5, 1885. and
when vacancy occurred was appointed
second leader. For over seven years Mr..
Smith played the solo cornet in the band
under John Philip Sousa. Upon the APP
pointment of Fanciulli to the leadership
Smith was granted a discharge, and was
subsequently member of SOusas band
FOR four years. He re-enlisted in the
Marine Band shortly after the appoint
ment of Mr.. Santelmann, acting as second
leader until March g. 1892, when he was
officially rated under an act of Congress
of that date, and has served continuously
in that rating. He is a member OF Ad-
miraI David Porter Garrison. No. 6, Army

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, August 13.-The recent assas-
sination of Sir William Curzon Wylie by
the Indian student Dhingra has opened
the eyes of all England to the dangerous
condition OF affairs existing in the Indian
empire. Every effort is being made to
ascertain whether the murderer acted on
his own initiative or as the agent of con-
spiratols. The documents found upon the
prisoner and in his lodging threw no
light on this problem. Apart from native
newspapers in which treason is openly adj
vocated the discriminating documents are
in Dhingra's own writing. These letters
and manifestos show clearly that the
engineering student had fallen under the
influence OF men not onl. in India but
also in Europe who exert every effort
and employ every means 10 poison the
minds of the youth of India.
Dhingra accepted as his leaders men
who in Europe profess peaceful agitation
and in India urge trea son. In India these
men are the leaders of parties so small
that they would be insignificant and in
capable of harm were 1t net for the sup
port. moral and financial. that they re-
