Something About Portugal


The religion of the Portuguese is
for the most part superstition, and
the most surprising thing about the
uprising is the fight against the
Church, for everything Catholic was
regarded as most sacred. Some OF the
churches and converts are works OF
art, especially the Jeronymos Monas-
tery, with its wonderful cioisters, re-
gardedS,by many art critics sas the
most beautiful in Europe. The Es-
trella Basilica, too, Is wonderful
cathedral, and contains the tomb OF
Nasca de Cana, the great Portuguese
navigator. II the press dispatches are
correct these places have been ruined
by the rioting popuiace. The Portu-
euese priest, with few exceptions, is
not all that is to be desired, and his
morality hardly sets good example
TO his practitioners In many in
stances he leads luxurious life and
performs bis religious duties In
slovenly way. These things at last
aroused the indignation Of the poru-
lace who have contributed, to his live
iihood. There. Is one order OF priests.

NO GENERAL BUYING
Unfav0rable Crop Reports From the South Caused Markets to
 Become Quiet.

New York, Nov. 3.-The cotton markets opened steady at a decline of to points, and lost another point or two during the first few minutes under local selling, little pressure from spot houses and some scatter ed liquidation attributed to indiffer- ent cables and the influ1ce of yes- terday's rumored bearish crop esti- mates. Bull leaders were moderate buyers, and the market soon stead jed up to last nights close on the demand from this source, covering and a little fresh buying inspired by private advices from the south report ing more serious damage by the re- cent freeze than at first had been supposed.
 There was no general buying, how ever, and after working up a net gain of about to 4 points on the un- favorable private crop reports, the market became very quiet with prices casing off slightly during the late forenoon and holding around the closing figures of last night at mid day.

Girl Behind The Counter"
 Quantity Little Quality

Too much was expected of "The Glrl Behind the Counter with Dick Bernard in the leading role, at the Elks Theater last night. The large audience that greeted the exception ally large company went away well pleased, but it is doubtful if the pro- auction meets the promises of the ad- vance man. While there is much to commend the big musical extraya- ganza to theater goers in the way of elaborate scenery, beautiful costumes and some catchy music, there is much room for improvement in the cast The show itself cannot help but please. You get enough for your money, but sometimes the quantity Is lacking in quality and such was the case last night Dick Barnard is funny and he makes the best of the part, but his best is not enough and there you are. A German comedian that has to depend on mechanical de- vices to get a laugh from an audi ence that goes to theater to laugh does not make good. Had it not been for the sode fountain Bernard's comedy would have fallen flat.
 Lew Fields made "The Girl Behind the Counter and made the New Workers like it for weeks. But there is only one Lew Field. With one or two exceptions the cast is weak and the tiresome dialogue is made monotonous because the work is not we'll done. Lottie Fremont cleverly impersonates Mrs. Henry Schniff and is the strongest member of the com pany. The rendition of "The Cherry in the Glass; by John H Pratt was decidedly the best musical number of the evening. He has powerful baritone voice and makes good use of it in duet with Miss Jacques, when they sing Won't You Buy" The other musical number that derserved the applause it received was My Louisiana Belle" by Miss Foltz. This number is the eatchiest piece in the whole performance The show was disappointing to many.

Georae l. and tho Stage.

George l. was q lover of the stage md. as his predecessors had done. caused his ''servants' to play before him at court. In 1718 his majesty or dered the great hall of Hampton Court to be converted for the time into q theater. There, under the direction of Steele. whose political services had been poorly recompensed by granting him some theatrical privileges" seven performances were given. Among the plays were Hamlet" "S;r Courtly Nice" ''The Constant Couple" Love For Money" "Volpone" and "Rule a Wife and Have a Wife," Among the players were Colley Cibber, Pinketh man. Johnson. Thurmond, Booth. Mills, Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Younger. In former times the fee paid by the sovereign to his servants for a play acted at Whitehall had been f2O. For these plays at Hampton Court King George, besides paying the actors their ordinary days wage and travelling ex- penses, gave 1850 and added f2O0 for the managers. The players were re. quired to act at any time upon rece3v. ing a days notice.

Nature Sometimes Makes Mummies.

Natural mummification, the chang Ing of the human body into dried condition without Hr!iiici;ll treatment, Is an extremely rare phenomenon. Ir a case reported by Hon. <. Woffsohn or British Honduras. q middle aged cooly who disappeared between Jan. uary and March. 1907. Was found more than year afterward. on May 6, 1908 in q corrugated iron hut as il perfect ly preserved mummy. The hut. in somewhat isolated spot at Sbun, was raised on blocks four or five feet above Ae ground and had q door and three shuttcrs. one shutter being open. while sne had fallen out. The body was Aothed in a cotton underskirt, dark Jersey and duck trousers, two pieces of rope around the neck proving self strangulation. The desiccation seem ed to have been favored by a combina lion of conditions. the season having been extraordinarily dry and the small iron house excessively hot. though wei. ventilated, while the body was thin and attenuated as a result of mental disorder.

Turn About.

A young English student late one cold and wintry night found the door of his college locked against him. The young man outside argued with the doorkeeper inside. cajoled and entreat ed, but to no avail. Eventually he slipped half a sovereign under the door and was admitted. It was a financial deal wisely thought out on strict busi ness lines. Once inside, he informed the janitor (falsely) that. unfortunate ly. after taking the half sovereign out of his purse he had dropped the purse Itself on the doorstep. The attendant went out to secure it, but once on the chilly, wet doorstep the door was slam- med. Then the deal was repeated. for the shivering mercenary was not al- lowed into his warm abode until he had slipped the half sovereign back QGofn
