ARCHITECTURAL ODDITIES.
Curious Buildings Upon Which an
EngIiEhman Spent HIS Money.

The village OF BrightHngs, about nine
miles inland from Hastings, possesses
probably the most novel collection OF
strange buildings in England, says the
London Daily News.
About half a century ago. a certain,
Squire Fuller. the chief resident. who
was possessed Of great riches, spent
money lavishly in the erection OF nu-
merous quaint buildings, with the idea
Of rendering his memory imperishable in
the little village. Squire Fuuer's eccen-
tTicity earned for him the sobriquet Of
Mad Jack"
Perhaps the most remarkable Of the
buildings IS the Sugar Loaf House, IN
which the Mad Squire" was anxious 10

were several candidates for the expert

forbade the execution Of the wild scheme.
The observatory contains in the dome a
camera obscura, which the squire placed

OVer-eating Worse

Seven Deaths Arise from This Cause

An English medical observer claims

are seven from over-eating.
His investigation Is appalling and leads

Saxon race Over-eating is a national

This investigation proves over-eating

These diseases bring on decay and de-

When one Over-eats, one exhausts the

CHEER NAZIMOVA AS NORA
Russian Actress, in Ibsen'S "a Dolls
House" Rekindles Favor.
Company Strong with One ExceD-
ton, and Is Greeted by Many
Who Saw Actress Before.

With a change Of bill from "The Pas
sion Flower to a Dolls House,"
Nine, Natlmova came back into her own
at the Belasco last night
One had only to see her impersonation
of Nora, the doll-wife, the careless, the ir-
responsible woman, who is so suddenly
plunged into the realization of what she
has done and the consequences OF her
deed. to feel that they saw a great ac-
tress Nora believed It was for the good
OF her husband and did not dream she
was doing a wrong or committing a
crime One sees the sudden transition
from the care-free girl Of the opening
act 10 the woman of the last. who goes
cut into the world in order that she may
begin life anew and perhaps learn to
love over again. All this one sees in the
actress wonderful work and she cannot
receive too much praise for the manner
in which she acted the leading role in
what is generally conceded to be the
great N0rwegian's greatest drama
To those who had seen her in the earlier
play the change was not so very decided
in the character itself. For the Vivian
OF the one is essentially the Nora OF the
other. But it Is the play itself that makes
the difference. "A Dolls House" act
ress has chances to show her admirable
! talents along the various lines that go
10 make up her genius in a way entirely
denied her in the other. Her art of make
up, her laugh, her snatches Of song. her
graceful pastures all combine to make
the character Of Nora one that viii last
in memory.
The play itself remains to-day one OF
the monuments TO an immortal genius
one Of the plays that depict the human
passions and human beings so we'll and
so truly that il will live as long as there
are talented artists 70 play the roles.
With one exception the actors were ex-
cellent in the present production. Bran

SUGAR TRUST MAN
GIVEN TWO YEARS
Oliver Splitter Sentenced to
Atlanta Penitentiary.
CLAIMS HE WAS SCAPEGOAT
Refinery superintendent Declares
Government Cried for Victim and
Sugar Trust Sacrificed Htm-C. r.
Heike's Trial for Conspiracy
Charge Complicated by Attorneys.

New York, Feb. 1O.-Oliver Splitter. the
former refinery superintendent Of the
sugar trust who was convicted last
December Of completely in the sugar
weighing frauds, was sentenced to-day
by Judge Martin in the United States
Circuit Court to serve two years IN the
Federal prison az Atlanta.
As soon as sentence had been pro-
nounced, Judge Martin opened court for
the trial Of ChSrles r Heike, secretary
Of the Holding Company of the sugar
trust, the American Sugar Refining
Company of New Jersey. and secretary
and treasurer of the New York Com
pany. Heike was indicted on charges
of defrauding the government out of
customs duties on sugar. and OF overt
acts In signing checks for the short pay
ments.
ScapcEOat of Trust.
Before Splitter left for Atlanta in
charge of a deputy marshal. he made a
statement in which he said he had been
made the scapegoat for the sugar trust.
Spitzers sentence had been deferred on
account of an operation which he IN
derwent after his trial. He was tried
with four former checkers employed by
the sugar trust on the Williamsburg
docks
The checkers, Thomas Kehoe, Howard
Edward a. Boyle Patrick j. Hennes-
sey. and John Coyle. were all convicted
of having a part in defrauding the gov

this after having served the trust faith

Cried for Victim.
'@The truth Of this whole matter is that
the government cried for a victim, and
the trust sacrificed me and the four poor
SlS-a-week checkers who are now serving
a year on Blackweils Island
Charles R. Heike's trial on the con-
spiracy charge is complicated by the plea
of his counsel, John B. Stanchfeld and
George s. Graham, formerly district at
torney OF Philadelphia. that their client
should be immune from prosecution be-
cause he had given before the Federal
grand jury the evidence upon which he
was later indicted.
Heike took the stand and testified that
he was questioned in the grand jury
room about the production of sugar by
the company, and that he supplied figures
showing what each company Of the trust
could produce. He obtained, he said. for
the grand jury a table showing the num-
Der of pounds Of raw sugar melted by the
trust

A recent dispatch to the Seattle

which voted ''dry" last fall in 10.

"Cities entering upon the contests
on the "wei" and "dry" issue are
10 oking to WeDatchee for demonstra-
ton of the effect of prohibition on
business. The effect has been very
apparent, and there is little proba-
bility that the issue will be raised
for years.
Buildings formerly occupied by
saloons are used for other lines of
business and the demand has been
SO great that the argument put up be-
fore the battle has faded.
"Wenatchee's moral atmosphere
has been elevated since the sale of
liquor was prohibited. Drunkenness
has been reduced to a minimum.
Many men who had not drawn sober
breath for years are now staying at
home with their families and spend
ing money on comforts for their
homes. Some have liquor shipped
in. as the law permits. but heavy
fines have prevented it's being passed
around. !"
