Besides all of this. they are danced
to airs that will linger in the mind, one
or two of which will yet be popular
songs.
Dream Maiden is one of the tunes
that is the most insistently catchy, a
song in which the hero and heroine
plight their troth, while Shadows" as
sung by Miss Imelda KinsloW literally
brought down the house. And because
it was in another key to the rest of
the songs, minor key, that was par
tcularly sweet and wistful and threw
the rest of the college nonsense and
laughter and merriment into greater
relief

No more humorous, bright or bonny
play has been seen in this city in
many months than 'The Gay Collegian, .
the clever. breezy college comedy writ
ten by Nat Schmulowitz and put to
catchy airs, sometimes snappy and
quick and again lingering and soft
and languorous, composed by John
Hartigan 1t is a musical comedy that,
put in the hands of professionals, might
bring to its two ambitious young au-
thors great fame, and as seen at the
hands of amateurs last night at the
Central theater was more than pleas
ing and was well worth the seeing.
The home talent is shows is alone
worth encouraging but quite apart
from that the play while it is all a
long string of delicious nonsense from
beginning to end, is reminiscent of the
old days of the Kolb and Dill regime,
with their inimitable Teutonic humor
and their quaint side splitting CONVEX
sations
FITTED FOR ROLES
Two of the leading characters in the
musical comedy are Germans and their
wit isunfailing and always brings a
ready and spontaneous applause, and
the two young collegemen who take
the parts are Wen HLI6Q TO the IOleS
and carry them off exceptionally well.
Owen MaiseI and Schmulowitz have
been cast for the comedians, so the
double honor of author and actor can
be left laid at the door Of the latter and
which he is the best at must be left to
the world to judge.
The part of the hero is given to Har-
tigan and he sang his own songs and
sang them we'll with a natural stage
presence and an ingenuousness that is
half of his charm. He made decided
hit last night as the gay collegian
whose college career at Heidelberg
leaves a train of shattered hearts in its
wake, a train that follows him back to
Berkeley and almost gets him in wrong
with the one and only girl who really
counted all the time.
SETTINGS GOOD
The stage settings are good, but one
almost forgets them in seeing the
charming choruses of girls, Chinese
and German and Spanish and broilers
and with a sprinkling of all national
tiles. For they are beautifully cos
tuned in the freshest of spangled or
beruff1ed skirts and the sauciest of
Chinese trousers and short mandarin
coats and they look pretty and they
dance well and kick better, while the
scenic effects of the many colored
electric lights cast on them add a

SERVETUS SOMETIMES
REGARDED AS MARTYR
Scientific Men Have Greatest
Interest in Him

It would be difficult to explain the
widespread interest in Servetus from
any knowledge men have of his writ
ings. The pathos of his fate, which
scandalized Gibbon more profoundly
than all the human hecatombs of Spain
or Portugal according to Doctor Osler
in Michael Servetus," published by the
Clarendon Press, accounts for it in part.
Then there is the limited circle of those
who fegard him as a martyr to the Uni
tartan confession; while scientific men
have a very difinite interest in him as
one Of the first TO make substantial
contribution to our knowledge of the
circulation Of the blood.

Scientists Who Die For knowledge
(Greenville News.)

If peace hath her victories no less
renowned than war, then Dr.. Mihran
*. Kassabian, who died in Philadel-
phia on July IL, was q hero perhaps
OF even greater calibre than the he
roes Of many wars. For Dr.. Kassa-
bian died Of skin cancer brought on
by X-ray burns in his marvellous
work as one Of the foremost specia-
lists in America. n
For years, unknown to many
thousands Of sufferers he was treat
ing, DR.. Kassabian, slowly dying from
the effects Of the very rays that were
being directed by him to the cure of
others, went about his daily work.
According to a writer in Techani-
cal Magazine, it was found last year
that the skin cancer induced by the
rays had spread up the left arm and
had caused the enlargement Of the
glands under his arm. These glands
were removed by an operation by DR..
Chalmers Da Costa, professor OF sur
gerry In the Jefferson Medical Col
lege In Philadelphia. The wounds
did not heal and a second operation
consisting of the removal Of the
larger muscles in the left side Of
the chest was reformed four months
ago. After this operation on the pec-
| toral muscles it was found that the
whole left side had been affected and
his condition was pronounced crlti-
cal. About ten days before his
death he went to the hospital to have
his chest dressed and while there
collapsed. He never left the hospital
alive.
The fact Of the matter is that the
field of radioactivity has furnished
| more than its quota Of martyrs to
| science. Professor Curie, who with
his wife, Madame Curie, won a place
In the history of science by the dis
covery of radium, was perhaps saved
from martyrs lingering death by
| the street accident which cut short
his life. His journey to London with
the first tube Of radium ever exhibit
ed there resulted in a wound in the
chest which took months to heal, for
| the radium emanation pasesd
| through his waistcoat and under
clothes and burned his chest to the
| bone. His experiments with radium
scourged his hands and arms, which
were almost paralyzed to the elbows
and rendered unpresentable to stran-
gers.

sUFFRAGETTEs GET LIVELY.
Marching 10000 Strong, Women Try
to Reach Parliament Building.

London, Nov. 1S.-The militant
suffragettes reOpened hostilities
against the government yesterday
and, marching 10000 strong on the
Parliament building, gave the police
a lively fight. The women, many Of
whom were placed under arrest, were
led by Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst.
The suffragettes had determined,
If possible, to dodge the police COR
don about the House Of Commons,
and, reaching Premier Asquith, to
insist upon the adoption of a woman
suffrage bill. The police, however,
were too strongly entrenched, and
the women, who tried every means
in their power to force the line, were
thrown back.
Repeatedly they retired, breathless
and disheveled, only to have their
places on the fighting line taken by
reserves.
A large contingent Of American
blue Jackets from the visiting fleet
were amused spectators to the strug-
gle, and, Justify cheering the COM
batants, melted them to fresh eff
forts.
The fight continued, and the police
were compelled to make wholesale
arrests. At o'clock 500 Of the suf-
fragettes and their supporters had
been taken into custody.

p.
Blue Ridge, Ga, Nov. 2O.-Proba-
bly, few counties in Georgia have ever
witnessed anything like the political
upheaval or revolution that has just
taken place here In Fannin county.
Democratic officials who had held
office for years were ousted and Re-
publicans put in their places. Of
fees held by Democrats for a quar-
ter Of century were turned over to
Republicans.
In fact, the Republicans made a
clean sweep Of 1t, turning out every
Democratic official in the county, and
Fannin's political complexion has
taken on new and startling hues.
Only the Senator from the forty
first was saved by the Democrats
from the otherwise complete wreck;
but j. r. Kincaid, Democrat, won out
for the Senate with the aid Of the
other counties in the district.
Following 1t all has come quite q
crop Of indictments, charging vote
buying. 1t Is claimed votes were
bought right and left, and, as the re-
suit Of the grand jury's investiga-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube Is infiamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when 1t Is entirely closed,
deafness Is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to It's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inf1amed condition of the mu-
cons surfaces.

"A Numerous Indian,
(Youths COMPANION. }

A member of the Canadian mount
ed police force tells good story Of
the cleverness of an Indian One
snowy morning band OF Crees
aWoke to find that about a dozen of
their ponies had been stolen during
the night. Pursuit was Immediately
organized, and in the course OF an
hour the trail was struck. The band
followed 1t for thirty miles or more,
till it entered a river, and headed for
little wooded island.
Smoke was rising from the trees,
ana an opening, apparently the
mouth or a cave, was in plain view
Presently Piegan Indian showed
himself in front of the opening. He
was in war paint and at his heels was
a dog.
Pretty soon the dog scented the
Crees, who were lying low, and be-
gan growing and barking. The Pie
gan looked up, glanced about him a
moment, and then instantly entered
the cave. In about ten seconds ano-
ther Piegan came round the rocks
and also went in; then another, and
another, and another. The Crecs lay
silently in the bushes, counting, TIL
upward OF fifty Piegans had come
round the rOcKS and gone into the
cave, and still they kept coming.
Each carried a rife.
When at last seventy men had dis
appeared In the cave, the supersti-
tlous and cautious Crees concluded
that the evil spirit mad something to
DO with 1t. So thoroughly were they
tilled with this idea that even when
re-enforcements arrived, which was
in few hours, they were reluctant to
attack the island.
That night, however, or Cree, less
credulous than the others, crossed
over the ice to investigate. On an
preaching the supposed cave, he
found that It was no cave at ALL but
simply an opening leading some ten
feet into the rock, where it made a
turn and came out on the other side.
There was the remnant Of a single
campfire, the ponies were gone, and
not an Indian was in sight. The
clever Pieyan thief by making the
circuit OF che passage and the end OF
the island seventy times had so de-
ceived his pursuers as to gain the
time necessary for his escape
