AUDITORIUM-A musical melange
in three acts called t"Morning, Noon
and Night" under the personal direc-
tion of Mortimer M. Theise, will be the
attraction at the Auditorium for the
week beginning Monday evening, Octo-
Der II. This was one of sthe musical
comedy treats of the past season, and
although it has never been seen in this
territory before its reputation has pre-
ceded 1t and it is assured of a warm
welcome.
It is a merry concoction blended to"
gether with songs and laughter, with
just a thread of a story to maintain
the small plot and furnish a clean, en-
joyable evenings entertainment. Hilda
earle heads the cast, which includes
Ethel Hall, Charles Boyd, Sid Braham,
Fred DeForrest, Clark Oldf1eld, Matt
Taylor and chorus of thirty. Among
the novelty specialties are 1.-THE Mill
tary Maids" the largest and best
trained girl act before the public to-
day; "The Military Four" harmonists;
THE Rehearsal" unique offering
showing the side of the actors life
where the lights are not brightly shin
ing and where it is a steady grind,
and christmas Eve at the Club" a
sketch filled with beautiful sentiment
and ccleancut comedy.
Eleanor Gordon, the new
leading woman of the Belasco theater
company, will make her first appear
ance with Lewis S. Stone and others
of the organization Monday night. The
play will be ]. Hartley Manners "Zira."
The play has to do with Hester
Trent, nurse with the British army
during the Boer war. She is social
outcast, but Is a young girl with
honest and sincere impressions. She
seeks to redeem herself and hopes
against hope to regain her footing, and
is just on the point of succeeding when
a young woman appears at the camp
on her way to England to visit the
family of her father, who has been
killed. This girl has been born in
South Africa and is not known at the
home she seeks. The girl is apparent
ly killed by a bursting shell, and Hes
ter sees the opportunity that she so
greatly covets, takes the girls papers

his suite he is not only ignored but
even finds difficulty in securing ac-
commodations at the hotel. He is told
that the Prince of Pilsen's presence at
the hostelry leaves little room or time
for entertaining others. He decides not
to disclose his identity, but to await a
favorable opportunity for exposing the
tmpostor. However, he happens to
meet Nellie Wagner, the brewers
daughter and a minutes conversation
with her is enough to show him that
the Americans are innocent of any part
in the deception-that the situation has
been forced upon them. In full enjoy

brewer to involve them both in series
of ludicrous situations, but falling in
love with Nellie the real prince finally
declares himself and happily ends the

Paris Worst Flood.

In the year 1896 rose the greatest
flood Of which history makes any rec
ord IN Paris. "Nen went in boats over
the wall of the kings garden" All
the island was covered. and from the
foot of the hill OF the university to
the rising ground beyond the Marrais
the upper stories of the houses rose
out OF a lake q mile wide. In that
flood was swept away the old stone
bridge that Charles the Bald had built
centuries earlier. before even the Nor
mans besieged the town. and in that
food the Petit Chatelet was destroyed.
The Petit Pont fell into the river also,
but that was nothing wonderful. for it
was the most unfortunate of bridges
and never stood firmly for fifty years
at stretch. but was forever being de-
stroyed and regularly rebuilt The
waste OF this food was the signal for

probably to be traced to the ancient

Men In Petticoats.

1t will PROBABLY be a matter of sur
prise to the general reader TO learn
that the petticoat was first worn ex.
ciusively by men. In the reign OF King
Henry VII. the dress of the English
was so fantastic and absurd that 1t
was difficult to distinguish one sex
from the other. In the inventory OF
Henry v. appears a ''petticoat OF red
damask, With open sleeves" There is
no mention OF a woman's petticoat be-
fore the Tudor period.

part. InfaRtile paralysis IS not one
OF the diseases which must be report
