THE Final Settlement" a drama OF
American social life. will be the attrac-
tion Thursday, the last Valley fair night
and, like The Wolf" it is a play of
exceptional merit. 1t points a strong
moral lesson, depicting as it does the
grave consequences that oft times follow
the sudden acquisition of wealth and
power
The smoothly running lines tell in an
engrossing way of the rise Of brilliant
and ambitious young mechanic from the
ranks of labor to the presidency of a
great iron trust. His suddenly acquired op-
ulence and power, and the allurements of
life in the social set in which he moves,
dispose him to divorce his wife. a woman
of conservative, homely tastes and ideas.
who still retains her orthodox conception
of home and husband.
He marries a beautiful actress, believ-
ing that her talent and charms will en-
able him to establish the social leadership
he so greatly desires. His subsequent dis
grace, and ultimate rescue at the hands
of the still faithful first wife, form the
basis of the story. A strain of sprightly
comedy CLEANS from time to time through
the lines and serves to relieve the
gripping intensity that pervades the at
moSphere of the production
The theme of the story is daring and
sensational and attacks those members of
society who seek recourse to the divorce

Roosevelt cites TAFT and Lincoln as Court
Critics.

Theodore Roosevelt returned to the
defence OF his new natioualsm saturday
as was specifically indicated in the title
Of his address AZ the New York state
fair in Syrlcuse-the new nationalism
and the old morality. The New Nation
alism" he reiterated, means nothing but
an application To new conditions Of GER
tain old fundamental moraliues. 1t
means an invitation TO meet the new
problems OF the present day in precisely
the spirit in which Lincoln and the men
Of his day met their new problems"
Among other things Col. Roosevelt
said:
Those who criticise me are also criti-
cising a justice OF the Supreme Court,
Mr. Harlan.
"Fifty-three years ago Abraham Lin
coin was assailed for his repeated criti-
cisms of the Supreme Court in the bred
Scott case.
The President of the United States,
Mr.. Taft. has served his country most
honorably and uprightly in many posi-
lions. but few Of his services are more
deserving Of record than what he said
in this very matter of criticism Of the
judiciary. He said: The opportunity
freely and publicly to crlucise judicial
action Is of vastly more Importance to
the body polite than the immunity of
courts and judges from unjust aspersions
and attack "

Through Niagara Whirlpool In a Motor
Boat

Boat.
Capt. Kalus larsen of Cleveland. Ohio.
made a voyage Sunday through the
Whirlpool rapids and the great whirlpool
of Niagara in motor boat. but before
he reached Lewiston his engine was out
of commission and his boat adrift in an
eddy. He was rescued and taken to
Lewiston on an electric car. He started
from the Maid of Mist landing and in
less than three minutes had reached the
great pool, At Great Wave the little
boat shot 20 feet out of water but it
landed right and continued on its course.
1t was soon helpless in the waves. and
was turned completely over, larsen COM
ing up badly battered. After this Larsen
had exciting experiences with the big
rocks and combers, but he was in com
paratively still water. with his motor
helpless. when rope was thrown to him
and he was pulled ashore.
The first attempt by any person to go
through the Niagara Rapids and Whirl-
pool was that of Capt, Webb in 1888 who
tried to swim the dangerous current. He
was drowned. In 1885 Carlisle d. Ora
ham, Buffalo cooper constructed a bar
rel In which he successfully made the
trip after sending through a dummy
boat. Potts and Hazlitt, also Buffalo
coopers, next tried the dangerous expert
ment in barrels. and went through with
out great difficulty. Policeman Kendall
of Boston, attired in a cork jacket, next
swan through the rapids and lived to tell
the tale to admirlng crowds in museums,
The first attempt to go through in a
boat was made by William A. Percy of
Suspension Bridge in 1887. He construct
ed a lifeboat and successfully made the
trip. On July a. 1883, Robert w. Flack of
Syracuse attempted the same feat, but he
lost his life His boat was an open one,
and 1t turned over. Other attempts, some
successful and some not, Were made
after that.
The first man to go through in a boat
propelled by steam was Peter Nilsson, who
in the smallest full-decked whaleback
steamer in the world successfully shot
the stream on Oct. -, 1901. The first
wave knocked off his smokestack and
Nilsson was thoroughly shaken up, but
he was not injured otherwise.
