CHURCHES WITHOUT
PALMS FOR SUNDAY
Shortage in Supply Due Largely, 1t
Is Said, to Strike of Negro
Guitars
Cutters.

NEW YORK, April There is such
a scarcity OF palms for Palm Sunday
that many churches must go without
them, AMI many others must be content
Nth limited supply.
Priests OF Catholic churches and min
listers of those Episcopal churches
which use them have been vainly hunt
ing for several days and have found it
hard to get q supply.
The situation is such that many
churches will not be able to give away
as large pieces of palm to their COM
municants that they have custOmarily
given on Palm Sunday All of which
is due 10 the fact, it IS said, that the
negroes who cut the palms in Florida
have struck. For years the supply has
seen deere 3sing. They have had to
go farther and farther inland from the
rivers, and II has come TO point now
that the trip is. so difficult that the ne
groes have refused 10 make il at the
wages offered.

Mrs. Rumbold charged her husband
with infidelity, declared that he had
squandered her savings, and asked for
alimony-
In opposing the application Rumbold
denied these accusations, and made
counter charges, asserting that his wife
was too friendly with Arthur NJ. Evart,
of West Sixty-fifth street. In view
of the conflict of testimony, Judge Hen
bricks refused the petition for alimony
pending the trial of the suit. Mrs
Rumbold gave her present address at

A Will and q Way.

To keep music so that 1t can be easi-
ly found and Is free from dust is no
easy task without a cabinet that is
well supplied with shelves and a door.
One impecunious young music student
has solved the problem rather happily
She found in her cellar a box yard
high, fourteen inches wide and ten
inches deep, or just an inch or so
wider and deeper than the average
sheet of music.
The box was scrubbed inside and
out, and a number Of shelves were
made from thin pieces OF whitewood
that rested on small screws stuck In
the inside of the box at irregular inter-
walls.
into four legs, each one ten inches
high. These were fastened to the bot
tom of the box by stout nails. The lid
was turned into a door by means Of
two brass hinges bought for a few
cents.
When the cabinet was finished it
was given three coats Of white paint
and fourth of white enamel. In the
center Of the door an inexpensive copy
OF the Child Handel" Margaret Dick
sees well known painting, was used
as panel. 1t was held In place by a
narrow framing Of white silk SOU
tache, fastened with large brass head
ed tacks.
Inside on the front OF each shelf was
lettered the kind OF music to be kept
upon it.

Sometimes when a story writer
makes his hero pass through an adv Il

probable kind he gets credit for relat-
ing sensational incidents, says the
Chicago News. And yet, as has been
said a great many times, truth is
stranger than felton," Here Is a case
in point:
At fire in q large city a short time
ago the captain of an engine company
found himself on top of an eight story
building, absolutely cut of from all
chance of escape save one-he might
crawl along an electric cable that
passed from the roof of the building
he was on to the roof of the building
on the other side of the street. The
venture seemed almost hopeless, but a
man will try many perilous ventures
rather than give up his life.
So the brave and cool headed man
began his dangerous trip. He swung
to the cable by his hands and his legs,
back down, and thus crept slowly
along until he had reached a point
about halfway between the buildings.
Then he seemed to have exhausted his
strength, for he moved no farther, but
hung there. away above the ground.
with sparks and smoke all around him,
apparently about to loosen his hold
and fall to the ground.
Meanwhile his companions were busy
arranging a plan to rescue him. They
cut the cable on the roof opposite to
the fire and, tying a wire to the sew.
cred end, lowered it gently, the man
gradually slipping down the cable un-
til within about twenty-five feet Of the
street. There he released his hold, but
as he fell the men in the street caught
him in a net

Raymond Teal and his clever com pany of singers and dancers are demon strating to Globe theatergoers that delivering the goods is money paying proposition, as last nights performance was witnessed by an exceptionally large and enthusiastic audience, fully 500 people being in attendance to witness the entrancing musical concoction, '' Variety Isle" The offering went off with dhe usual snap and vim of all the Teal shows The captivating Teal chorus was in prime condition and went through the various musical mum bers as if they had an unusual interest in the show. Teal has way of getting the good out of his clever chorus that makes the audience sit up and take not ice.
 Miss Elma Elwood, the captivating soubrette of the organization made a hit and as Princess Felice she looked the part and acted admirably. Miss Elwood has a most charming voice and knows how to handle it. The duet with o. J. Post was one of the best features of the program.
 Miss Grace Wolf as Dorothy was pretty and demure, and the only regret was that dancing speciality of the first night was not repeated. Miss Cor rine Carkeek, as Mrs. Gabble, had a most difficult role and kept the house in an uproar of laughter. Miss Carkeek is a most finished actress and had part that could easily be overdone, but it was most admirably performed.
 Knight and Teal, as the two comed' ians, were simply immense, the jokes they cracked were new and crispy and not of the stereotyped order so often handed out in Dutch acts of this kind.
 The costuming was of high order and if Teal keeps up the already high standard set, he will break all show records in Globe.
 The Olio presented Miss Elwood, who sang three clever selections. Special mention might be made of Whisper and I Shall Hear" Tonight the big New York success, "Gay New York, " will be the offering.
