ENGLISH REPERTOIRE rAEArER

Every one knows that as far as the plays and the actors are concerned there is no difficulty whatever in running repertoire theater. No actor who cared at all for his art would ever, if he could help it, ap- pear on any other sort of stage and as for the plays there is the whole literature of Europe to pillage. The real problem is to educate the pub. lie and that will be done. We be- lieve, with most success by a com. ,)anv which is forced by hard neces. sitv to take its public into it's reck. onings. There are pork butcher rlch enough to lure all the stars of Europe to play Aeschylu> and Soph. ,cles in the original tongue. but sub- sidizcd work proves nothing in the way of demand and rarely succeeds in educating the public.-London Daily News.

MORE DISPOSITIONS
 IN STRICKLAND CASE

More depositions are 1elng taken today in the case of G. R. Strickland and others against NJ. Strickland, Jr. The dispositions are being taken in the law office of R. w. Robins, Judge P. H. Prince and Mr. Robins repre- senting the plaintiffs, and J. H. Har- rod and Sam J. Crabtree the defend ants. Mir. Strickland, the defendant, is also attending the examination.
 The case, which will come before the Faulkner chancery court for final hearing at its adjourned term to be held here November %, is one of the most interesting ever brought in the county. The plaintiffs, who are grand children of the late M Strickland, Sr., are seeking to prove that deed by which all of the real estate of their grandfather was conveyed at his death to their uncle, M. Strickland, Jr., the defendant, was forgery. The elder Strickland was a very wealthy old farmer who lived in Bristol township.

SEEMED 4 JOKE TO SfAMESE
Watives Could Not Understane Why American Wanderers Wanted
 Sugar with Rice.

Harry A. Frank, in Harpcr's Weekly, gives an amusing account of his tramp through the Siamese jsnglss. The English authoritie refused to let him leave Rangoon and deputed a half-caste to accom- panv him and see that he remained within the town limits. But Frank and his companion made the half- caste drunk, eluded him and plunged into the jungle. At one village they excited the wonder of the natives by demanding sugar upon their rice. The head man mis- understood.
 When he understood that sugar was needed he called . woman, who brought some in joint of bamboo At the first mouthful," says the author, 'such a roar of laughter went up from the assembly that I choked in my astonishment. The chieftain fell to shaking as with a fit. his advisers doubled up with mirth and aroused the whole com munity with their shrieks. Wild eyed Siamese tumbled out of the neighboring huts. Within two min utes half the village had tlocked into the room and the other half was bowling for admittance and a glimpse of those strange beings who ate their rice with sugar.

animalcula had been displayed to his

CONGRATULATED BY Mr.. TAFT
Ten-Mile Flight Is Made In IA Minutes
and AZ Seconds-OrviIIe and Lieut..
FouIois Acclaimed by Enthusiast
tic Multitudes.

Washington, D. C.-Orville Wright
has attained the zenith of hard
earned success. In the 10mile
cross-country flight in the famous
aeroplane built by himself and his
elder brother, Wilbur, and accompa-
MED by Lieutenant Benjamin ID. Foul
OILS, an intrepid officer of the army
signal corps, he not only surpassed
the speed requirements Of his con-
tract with the United States govern
ment, but accomplished the most diff
ficult and daring flight ever planned
for a heavier-than-air flying machine.
incidentally, he broke all records
for speed over a measured course and
established beyond dispute the prac-
ticability of the aeroplane in time OF
peace and in time of war.
Wright's speed was more than AZ
miles an hour. Orville made the 10
mile flight in IA minutes and AZ sec
onds, including the more than 20 sec
onds required for the turn beyond the
line at Shutter hill, the southern end of
the course. He attained height IN
crossing the valley of Four Mile Run
of nearly 500 feet, and the average al
titude of his practically level course
was about 200 feet.

President Taft, who has become an
enthusiastic spectator of the aeroplane
trials, arrived upon the parade ground
at Fort Myer just in time to see the

pate in the wild demonstration which
welcomed the triumphant aviators. He
sent Colonel Treat, commanding offiC-
er of the artillery at Fort Myer, to
bear his congratulations to the vic
