AUBREY CARR, Tenor Light comedia,

This new and racy farccal comedy presented at the Majestic on Monday evening next for three nights only, has never before been produced outside, or west of Chicago and contains more than the usual amount of comedy element seen in the ordninary run of this class of sketches.
 In addition to absolutely new songs and costumes, Manager Charlie Holdren has ordered new set of scenery to accommodate Blondelle X Carr's latest effort,
 The comedy abOunds with farcical sit nations and is fully up to the standard already set by these popular artists.
 In addition, Miss Mildred Moore, 'The Arizona Nightingale will again delight the musical Globcites with her | demonstrated ballad entitled Glove Days" and for the latter half of the week this popular young singer will be given an opportunity to shine in a new singing speciality "without the slides :" and just on her lonesome.
 Manager Holdren has been fortunate enough to be able to announce to all good "flickeritcs l" that he has secured for their benefit three entirely new mo- tion pictures, featuring "The Peasant Prince" and followed by "The Honor of Thieves" and the comedy scream, "Love Finds Way"
 The continued large attendance at this cosy little house fully demonstrates the appreciation of all the good people of Globe for first class bright and or. iginal entertainment, accompanied by select singing, good music and the best and latest service in moving pictures.

Marriaae In Japan.

A Japanese husband is allowed only one wife, but to marry is sometimes a much more serious matter than with us. Either the husband must be form. ally adopted into the family of the wife or the wife Into the family of the husband, the couple being absorbed into one family and subject to it's discipline. As rule, this custom weighs more heavily on the bride than on the husband. for she must not only obey her husband, but every member of his family Of an older generation than himself; hence young woman often longs for old age. so that she may wleld authority over the younger generations, To bring about a mar riage in Japan an intermediary is ap- pointed, whose duty 1t is to introduce the parties and to look to every ar. rangement of the wedding.

PHILADELPHIA, September 1s.- Before what is claimed to have been the largest crowd in the history of base. ball, Philadelphia this afternoon shut out Detroit 2 to o, in the third game of the American series between these two clubs.
 Bender and Donovan had the great. est twirling duel of the season. Ben. der was hit safely only three times and gave one base on balls, while Donovan allowed only four hits and gave two bases on balls. There were 35,4Og paid admissions, 10000 persons being jam med back of the ropes in right, center and left fields. The crowd was a very orderly one and amused itself during the long wait for the play to begin by smashing every straw hat which ap. peared on the scene.

WILD OSTRICH FEATHERS
SHIPPED FROM AFRICA
Collected by Arab Traders and
Sorted by Experts

Ostrich feathers, the wearing of
which is sanctioned by the Audubon as
sociation, are supplied in large quanti-
ties by Tripoli in Barbary, being
brought overland from central Africa
by caravans, and from there sent to
England and France and then to the
United States.
The feathers are brought in by the
Arabs in packages, which contain
various qualities of each kind, but as
the dealers of Tripoli are experts they
buy advanta geously of these mixed
packages. The feathers are then
washed and sorted, but are neither
curled nor dyed before they are
shipped to Europe.
The process of cleaning seems like
rough usage for so delicate an article
as a feather, as according to Vogue it
consists of bath in soapy water and
a vigorous beating while still wet. A
handful is taken by the stems and
slapped against the floor with great
force to bring out the fues. which are
the small feathers extending from the
barbs, as to give the plumes fuller
and richer appearance
A good ostrich plume will have two
or three layers of feathers, and 1T
should have no transverse cuts along
the vane. The finest feathers by far
are taken from wild birds in the Wadai
and Darfur districts.

WILL NOT TAKE PART
IN AVIATION CONTESTS
Builder of Big Balloon Thinks
Prizes Too Small
Especial DispaIeh 10 The Call

SAN JOSE, Dec. 1S.-Albert Carter,
organizer of the Postal aero club, who
is building in San Jose the largest di-
rigible balloon in the United States, has
just returned from Los Angeles, where
he has been in constant touch with
Richard Ferris, manager of the ayia-
tion week project.
Carter said today that he has prac-
tically given up the idea of entering
his balloon in the aviation contests to
be held in Los Angeles in January, be-
lieving that the cash prizes do not war
rant his entering with an airship with
capacity Of $4,000 feet of gas.
The best prize offered aeronauts. out
side the syndicate which is to make
flights, is $500 for the longest dirigible
or aeroplane fight and similar
amount for the longest time in the air.
There will be prize of $4,000 to the
ship making trip from San Francisco
to Los Angeles, but this is an under
taking that entails sstupendous risks.
According to Carter, Ferris is conf
dent that he will be able to secure the
sanction of the Aero club of America
for his flights, an Interpretation of the
agreement binding the Aero club of
California to the Aero club of America
being the obstacle that must be over

ARABS THINK HATS
CONCEAL MEMS HORNS
Legend of EngIishmen Being
Cursed With Tails

Natives of southern Arabia believe
that Christians wear hats only to hide
their horns. Formerly the continent
of Europe clung to the conviction that
the Englishman's neither garments con-
cealed a tail.
SO late as the reign of Edward VI,
according to Bale, "an Englyshman
cannot travayle in another land by way
Of marchandyse or any other honest
occupyinge, but il is most contume-
liously thrown into his tethe that all
Englyshmen have tails" The belief
probably arose from the legend of the
.'Kentish Longtails.n
The people of either Canterbury or
Strood (for the legend varies) mocked
at Beckett as he rode by on an ass and
cut off the ass tail. Wherefore they
and their descendants were cursed with
tails thenceforth. At least so said jest
ers of other countries, and the slander
eventually reacted upon England in
general. Another version substitutes

Forest Service
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Secretary
Ballinger isspreparing to carry the war
into the enemy's camp. A word from
him will bring about a sweeping con-
gressional investigation not only OF the
land Office but of the forest service.
He has intimated that the word is
coming
AS the result of certain moves which
it is considered the secretary of the
interior may properly make now that
an investigation of a division of his
own department is proposed, there will
be not only an overhauling of the land
office, but an inspection of the forest
service, which is expected to bring into
the light of publicity many occurrences
in that quarter in recent months which
have figured largely in keeping aglow
that elusive and puzzling subject
known as the "Pinchot- -Ballinger con-
troversy.r
President Taft is willing that an in
vestigation shall be had. When it
comes there will be interesting de-
velopments. 1t is reliably reported that
the president has in his possession evil
dence which connects two officials of
the forest service with alleged acts of
indiscretion and INSTRUMENTATION which
he can not overlook
The proving of the allegation will
undoubtedly result in the dismissal of
these men from the service. Whether
the outcome of the proposed investiga-
ton will result in imperiling the posi-
tfens of other officers of the forest
service can only be surmised. There
are hints that it may.

as he dreaded, the lion turned himself
over and lay on his back at the child's
feet, looking up in his face. as cat
