early afternoon to be the guest OF
Governor Hughes at the executive
mansion until Monday morning.
Time Not Ripe.
The situation In Albany. in view OF
the incidents OF the past few weeks.
Is rather acute. and. it is evident that
the President does not feel that the
time is ripe for any participation by
him In the affairs Of the Republican
party In the state.
The President was escorted to the
governors mansion and from there
was driven soon afterward TO the tu-
befculosis congress. where both he
and Governor Hughes made addresses.
The Canadian tariff conference Will
not be held until tomorrow afternoon.

Isthmus of Panama, which was a hot

full as any OF our Southern States,
through rules worked out by "oar

The President said he had no doubt
that the same thing could be done
with respect to tuberculosis in any
community. He congratulated the
people OF New York on the progress

THE WEATHER

UNFAv0RAb[E
If TopAY's GAME Is NOT PLAYED
IT WILL MEAN THREE GAMES
ON THE GROUNDS OF THE CUBS
BY Associated Press.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-'For Chicaog and
vicinity, rain tonight and probably
Thursday; decidedly colder. high
northwesterly winds"
In these words today's official
weather forecast renders it problem
attic whether the third game of the
worlds championship series between
Chicago and Philadelphia can be
played here tomorrow.
According to the rules laid down by
the national commission, il a game Is
postponed or drawn, the two teams
will remain in Chicago until two
games are played. These rules also
declare that the Sunday game. if a
fifth game is necessary. shall be
played at Chicago, regardless Of all
else. Thus If it is impossible on &C.
count of the weather tomorrow to play
the game, it must be played off on
Sunday in this city instead OF the
game regularly scheduled for Phila'
delphia on that date.
Rain tomorrow, therefore, may mean
that there will be three games in sue
cession to be played on the local
grounds-Friday. Saturday and Sun.
day. This is certain should Chicago
win one or both of the games Friday
or Saturday. The announcement OF
untoward weather prospects when II
appeared in the newspapers deepened
the gloom of impatient enthusiasts
They don't want to wait even one day
for chance to. get back at the trium

ter Cuthbertson was appealed to over
the telephone by scores who pleaded
for a ray Of hope for tomorrow.

plemented his direful ed1ct, there's
the ghost Of chance. We look for q
heavy rain in the forenoon which viii

are that in the afternoon the down

show is perhaps the only play on the
stage today with only four characters
in the cast and having a single stage
setting. Yet with these seemingly
almost insurmountab1e handicaps, the
play has made good from the start,
THE Climax" was in Pensacola last
year and the theatergoing public is
familiar with the excellence Of the
production. The fact that it has con.
tlnuously drawn large houses under
these unfavorable circumstances is
ample proof that the play is one of
exceedingly great power It is not a
drama that appeals to the masses.
This is true in Pensacola as we'll as
elsewhere as is shown by the au-
diences.
It will be remembered that the
drama Is a musical one, though not in
the ordinary sense of the word as mu-
steal plays are known today. The
central character, Adelina Won Hagen,
played by Miss Florence Weber. was
musical student and the young doc
tor, of her home town In the provinces.
who was in love with her, performed
slight operation on her throat and
then by mental suggestion made her
believe that her voice was lost and
would never return. She then con.
sented to marry him but before the
wedding, discovered that her voice
was stronger and better than ever.
The doctor then repented and con-
fessed his duplicfty and Adelina con-
tinued to prepare for her stage career.
but not before she indicated that she
believed that love was the controlling
interest in life and that in time the
doctor would be forgiven.
Miss Weber has one of the greatest
voices that has ever been heard in
Pensacola and her rendition of several
songs, Even Song" Youths Appeal
to Age and 3'The Song of the Soul"
was extremely beautiful and capt..
waited the audience Her voice was
one OF great range and power and also
sweet and tender, rare com binatfon
Mr.. Chester Barnett, who played the
part OF P1etro Golfanti, was not only
splendid and accomplished actor but
pianist Of wonderful ability. He
played all the accomplishments on a
piano on the stage as we'll as all the
incidental music. His combination of
acting and playing was very fine. The
same may be said of Mr. Arthur Cog.

TOWER OF BABEL.

Traditions as to the Height of the Fa.
 mous Structure.
 The actual height at which the last stone of that famous structure. the tower of Babel. rested cannot, on ac- count of the remoteness of the times at which fl Is said to have existed ever become more than matter of merest conjecture. Herodotus, who lived about HOO years after that great spiral way to heaven" is said to have been attempted. says that he saw at Babylon structure consisting of eight towers raised one above an- other, each seventy-five feet in height. but whether this ruin was the re- mains of the tower of Babel it was even then impossible to ascertain. He- rodotus. usually minutely exact in his writing. leaves us in ignorance as to how the upper level of each of these from the level below.
 AS might be expected. even in tra- dition. wide difference of opinion ex fists as to the height of the tower. Most orientalists maintain that God did moi put stop to the work until the tower had reached height of 10000 fafh ofrls. or about twelve miles. In Cey lonese tradition if is said to have beer as high as 2O,O00 elephants. eaci standing one above the other St Jerome as'serts on the authority O persons who had examined the ruin that It did not reach height exceed fpg four miles. Other statements ar still more extravagant.-Lond Sat urday Review.
