There are on the other side special

the sum of $1.25 will send a manu-

usual terms for one written specially
are $3.50. Generally the writer's are
clergymen. some of wnom have agen-

SIGNAL AIRSHIPS.

L. s. May Add Zeppelins Before
Aeroplanes for Military Defense.
Washington.-Military experts of
the war department have under con-
sideration a plan to add the dlrlglble
balloon or airship to the equipment
of the signal corps. strong plea
viii be made to congress during the
coming session for an appropriation
sufficient to enable the department to
purchase one or two airships of the
Zeppelin type and 20 build a plant
necessary for the maintenance Of
these aerial monsters.
This means that the army is not
as yet ready to adopt the aeroplane
as a part of the military equipment
for national defense. The experts
are of the opinion that the dirigible
has been perfected, while the aero
plane fs still in the experimental
stage. Recent accidents to aeroplane
operators have accentuated this point
of view. The dirigible, they say, is
making trips with a high degree of
certainty and has demonstrated it's
usefulness as a war machine not only
for scouting purposes, but for carry
ing materials and men and weapons
which could be used to great advan-
tage.
This pronouncement on the merits
| OF the dirigible by the officers of the
| general staff is the present decision
on the controversy which has been
! maintained by the partisans of the two
| types since the aeroplane came into

cidents to the Zeppelin ships, and has

eral plan which has been adopted, to

At THE COLUMBIA
Noted Actress TO Appear for
Brief Engagement in "The
Other Woman"

Blanche Walsh in her new and lat
est success, The Other Woman" will
appear at the Columbia theater tomor-
row night, opening an engagement linn
ited 10 two weeks Leading critics of
the east have pronounced The Other
Woman TO be the worthiest vehicle
that Miss Walsh has yet had in her
successful career. She has scored en-
phaticslly in the play.
The plot of the play is as follows:
a lawyer of large interests, firing of
the petty foibles and vanities of his
doll like wife, seeks relief by cultivat-
ing the acquaintance of a client of his
an artist, and somewhat of a bohe
mian. She is intellectual. fearless and
honest. This friendship ripens into
love. The wife realizes that her hus-
bands love for her is waning and in
hope of regaining his affections she
seeks an artist to paint a portrait of
her baby who has died. She hopes
that when her husband sees the life
like image Of his child. whom he dear
" loved, his old love for her will re-
turn.
She visits the studio of "the other
woman" and states her desire for the
painting, not knowing that the artist
is her rival for her husbands affec-
tons During the visit she confdes
her reasons for wanting the picture and
leaves for the artist locket contain
ing a portrait of her child. She also
leaves her card, which passes un-
noticed. Shortly after she leaves the
studio her husband arrives and obtains
promise from the other woman" to
elope with him the next day. The
portrait can not be painted, of course,
and when the other woman, sees the
visiting card and thus knows for whom
the picture was intended she immedi
ately decides 10 notify the wife of her
inability TO finish the painting.
During her visit to the wife the hus-
band enters and. in the presence of

between love and duty and duty wins.
but not without ferVid pleadings on TIE
husbands part to the other woman
A reconciliation follows between hus-
band and wife.
The audience watches spellbound the
Womans battle with her hearts desires.
In the course OF the play, however, are
abounding epigrams of keen wit and
irresistible humor, 50 that one Is en-
tertained in startling fashion by the
dialogue as well as held entranced by
the plot itself.
In the cast are George ". Howard.

MINGLE IN PLOT
AIcazar Offers ''The Great John
Canton" for First Time
in Stock

The Great John Canton a drama
tization of Arthur j. Eddys famous
tale of love and finance. will be given
its first presentation in a stock theater
next Monday evening at the Alcazar,
with a cast that assures a splendid
acting production Thurston Hall has
the role he filled during the plays run
R. Walling, in the title part, has not
been so well fitted since he scored a
hit as Ryder in THE Lion and the
Mousse with which the character of
Canton isA somewhat analogous.
John Canton is a Chicago meat baron
whose prototype is said to have ex-
listed in the founder of the Armour in
dustries. His prominence has been
earned through logged aggressive
ness and a nlerciless lack of considera-
ton for the fate of those whom he
finds 1t convenient to crush. "If / want
to get rid of competitor" he boasts,
'I either buy him out or drive him out"
That is the keynote of the mans char
acter.
Twenty years prior to the opening of
the play this Colossus of commerce
drove into bankruptcy one Jim Keat-
ing, who had undertaken topppose him,
Canton and the daughter of Keating
are in love with each other and de-
termined to marry. Canton Sr. OBJ
jects to the proposed union of the
young people, but Canton Jr. has
a heritage of obstinacy and reso-
luteness that clashes with the pa
ternal will, and he is cast forth to make
his own way in the world. An unfor
tunate Speculation in copper stocks re-
duces him to the pecuniary level of his
fiancee, whose appeal to thes stern old
man to forget and forgive is the big
scene of more than the usual number
of big ones. Not until the final chap
ter. when the elder Canton is con-
fronted by necessity of undergoing an
operation for appendicitis. does the soul
of the father prove mightier than the
spirit of the merchant.
