1utercugosis In the Prisons.

The fact that 100000 prisoners are
discharged from the jails and prisons
Of the country annually. and that from
10 to Is per cent. of them have tuber-

Ing special places for their treatment

Blaze IN
BOUDOlR

What might have been a serious
conflagration occurred at the home
of George P. Castle last night, result
ing from the explosion of celluloid
shade over an electric lamp.
The accident occurred in the bed
room of Miss Castle, who had just re-
turned from church and turned On
the light. There was a ready res
ponse to the call for assistance and
the blaze was squelched before any
considerable damage had been done.
Mr.. Castle takes all the blame for
introducing the celluloid shades into
his home, and promises never to do
it again. They were light and pret-
ty, and took the eye of the business
man. The people at the Hawaiian
Electric Company's salesroom warn
ed him of the unfriendly relations ex-
listing between celluloid and fire, but
Mr.. Castle figured that little cleo
trio heat would not excite the ire
of the pretty shades.
He bought six of them. This
morning the remaining five were TAX
en- out to a bald spot in the back
yard and given all the fire that was
coming to them. At the first touch
of the heat the pesky things began
to pop, and a moment later went off
with a bang, caught ablaze and were
soon in ashes.
No more celluloid shades for Mr..
Castle.

BROWN OF HARVARD" TONIGHT

Tonight the McRae Company will
present for the first time in this city
Henry Woodruff's great success,
Brown of Harvard" a story Of col
lege life and strife at Harvard. This
play enjoyed a run of over a year in
New York and has only been released
for stock productions in the last
three months.
The story of the play is an interest
ing one and deals with the love af-
fairs of one Tom Brown the hero and
Evelyn Kenyon. It is the same old
story of love and devotion, the story
we all like to hear, and the story Of
Brown of Harvard" is told in such a
manner that one cannot help but en-
joy it.
Miss Oswald will be seen to good
advantage as Evelyn, and Mr.. McRae
will be cast for "Tom Brown" the
hero, the remainder of the company
being happily cast.
Perhaps the most interesting scene
in the play is the production of the
