VAUDEVILLE FOLKS
 SPAGHETTI FEAST
Bob Yosco, Famous Musi- elan, Shows Culinary Abil- itv at Hotel Atlas.

With F. c. Nugent, vaudeville s popular souse impersonator, as toast master, Prof. Jim Atlas as the chief of the glad hand brigade and many notables of the stage as guests, the accomplished musical team of Lyons & Yosco entertained party of fellow artists and friends in the main dining room of the Hotel Atlas last evening with feast of spaghetti.
 Bob YoscO is a, native of sunny lta- lia. He was born on a spaghetti or chard and at an early age he raised crops of the luscious fruit that won him fame from Lombardy to Calabria. When he boarded his 50 h. p. limou- sine yacht for America, he carried @ wealth of spaghetti appetite, and bet ter still, a thorough mastery of the culinary mysteries that figure in it's preparation
 Early this week Bob had occasion to brag of his ability as a purveyor of the famous Italian dish, and when he found his hearers skeptica1, he was forced to arrange the spaghetti ban- quet. So last night tables were spread in the main dining room of the Hotel Atlas, and a small sized mountain of spaghetti, simmering from o'clock in the morning, was brought on about il o'clock and served under the per sonal direction of Signor Yosco.
 It developed upon him to explain stuff to ones mouth. By way of con- vincing all spectators of his skill, Yosco made a delft pass at a heaping plate with a frail oyster fork, and with the greatest ease poised the en- tire contents of the plate on the prongs of the instrument Similar efforts by would-be ilnitators of the famous Yosco resulted disastrously. About this time Yosco took ocasion to deny all reports that while he was a fid- dler at Hammerstein's, he doubled in a popular Italian restaurant kitchen. This story, he claimed, emanated from the Morris time.
 The spaghetti feast and fixings both solid and liquid was prolonged well into the night. Nugent made an ad- mirable toastmaster. calling upon all the guests for suitable remarks. All agreed that YoscO was a grand little fellow, and they joined in the hope that he would always play the big time,. never have to pay more than would stay away from the opposition.
 Among the guests were F. c. Nu- gent, toastmaster. Catherine Talbot, Miss Violette of the 20th Century Co.,, Jones & Deely and Mrs. Deely; John Sibley, Count de Graft, A. Bonneman, Edward Clark, Jr, Kenneth McKlen- nan, the Holdsworths, Manager L. E. Garvey of Polls and Dick Howell, and w. E. Smith The two last nam ed celebrities contributed feature of the evening, a long distance spaghetti eating contest. Howell claimed vic tory, but Smith protested on the ground that the Herald man forked more than one tube of spaghetti at time, which was a violation of the rules.

BAD MESSAGE
 FOR AMERICA
Paris Seeress Predicts All Sorts of Calamity for This Country During Present Year.
Special from United Press.)

(SpoClaI rom OnlCoQ HroSS.
 Paris, Jan. 20.-The year of 1910 will be one for Americans to look back to with horror, in the opinion of Madame De Thebis, the Seeress, whose prophetic eye is credited with having foreseen more events than any other member of her craft. The madame was sought out in her elegant home in the Avenue De Wagram by the Uni ted Press correspondent to get her opinion on the wave of crime that is now sweeping over France.
 'The earth is under the strain of a terrific planet revolution" she de- clared. Human destiny is red. That means blood. The political events are black. Terrible changes are imminent and America is placed under the worst zone of all.''
 Madame was only too glad of the opportunity of delivering herself of her warning. q am glad you came" /" she said, "For I have a message for your country, an important message. Until the last of March the earth will be swept by wave of murders, sui cides and tragedies of all descriptions. France every day is witnessing the most atrocious murders. The influ- ence of forn-changes in other planets --is affecting us. The strain will be most severely felt in America.

WHY COST OF LIVING GOES
 EVER UPWARD
Mass Meeting of Machinists Called to Hear Answer to Pressing Question.

The increase in the cost of living will be the subject to be discussed at a meeting of the machinists and tool makers of Bridgeport which has been called under the auspices of the local branches of the International Associa- tion of Machinists. The following call has been issued for the meeting:
 Mass meeting of machinists.
 "The machinists and tool makers lodges of this city will hold an open meeting on Friday evening of this week at Machinists Hall, Main St. Fourth Vice-President Wilson and Organizer J. J. Connolly of Boston, brilliant speakers it behooves every one working at the trade to get out and hear them. That there is much to talk about will be conceded by all, we think
 We hear much lately about the high cost of living, from bank presidents and railroad managers. MT. Kirby president of the Manufacturers Asso- citation has lately expressed his views on the subject in this vicinity. Ac- cording to MT. Kirby, it is on account of the Labor Trust Now just how a machinists wages can affect the price of meat, butter. eggs and many oth- CT food stuffs is something that is hard to understand by the average lllSCIdIllC anu cSpSCldlly WnSll IIlC dA craze rate of the machinist is lower in these parts than it was, three years ago. But the high cost of living is no dream. That is stern reality and how best to meet this condition should be the aim of every one work ing at our trade. The railroad men are giving us a god hint as to what to do and when men prominent in the business life of our Country say that wages must be raised to meet the ex- isting condition.
 ''We believe the men of our trade should be alive to there own inter- est. We hope all machinists and tool makers will attend this meeting as they will hear what we think is best to be done and it has got to be done by ourselves
 'A good time is assured all who at tend and a cordial invitation is ex- tended to all machinists and toolmak- CTS and specialists

PRINCE GEORGE
 MUST GET OUT
Cabinet Has Ordered Beck less Royal Youth to Leave Servia and He May Come to America.
Especial from United Press.) )

Belgrade. Jan. 20.-Under the guise of a tour of the world to study political conditions, Prince George, the former Crown Prince, is soon to begin an enforced exile from Servia. It has been known for some time that the prince contemplated trip abroad including a visit to America but it was not learned until today that the cabinet had ordered him to leave the country.
 Only the intervention of King Pet CT prevented the Princes expulsion from becoming effective before this. How long George will be compelled to absent himself from SerVia de- pends on how quickly he sobers down. Just now his presence in Servia is considered a national dan ger and his persistent insults to Po- lice Prefect Alimpitch have been the source of constant trouble.
 The Prince is generally credited with being the most reckless royal youth in Europe, and the only cure, it has been decided, is extended foreign travel.
