DETROIT OPERA HOUSE.

Lyman II. HOwe'S moving pictures,
giving a vivid panorama OF life Ia
various parts Of the world, were fash
ed on the screen in the Detroit opera
house, Sunday afternoon. These en-
tertianments will continue several
weeks. two performances day be-
ing given.
Picturesque Switzerland, with its
snow-clad peaks, from which blow
cool and invigorating breezes, its
lofty mountains towering above the
famous watering places and summer
resorts, fringed by long stretches OF
imposing trees, was shown, together
with thel life and customs OF the PEG
pie In that section.
Among the other views were the
volcanoes OF Java in violent eruption,
a Mohammedan religious festival in
Delhi. India; wild birds in their native
haunts, life in the United States army,
and a series of comedy views.
The pictures of the maneuvers ot
the United States cavalry at Fort
Meyer, Va, were made at the request
of the United States government to
create interest in the army. The
mounted troops dash to and fro on
thrilling tasks which prove their
traineding as soldiers In action.

II Is a long time since THE Two
Orphans" that stirring drama of
satins and rags, has been given a
faithful presentation on the stage Of
Detroit theater. Sunday night.

revival OF the play. Staged and cos
tuned with the elaborate attention to
details that is characteristic OF all
CHASER productions, the D'Ennery mas
terpiece still has it's power to move
us to tears and to laughter.
The story of the trials and tribula-
lions of the blind orphan Louise and
OF her sister by adoption, Henriette.
Is too well known to lovers of the
drama to need repetition. The separ-
alton Of the sisters and the harassing
experiences which each of them un-
dergoes before the ultimate reunion
through the efforts OF the heroic
Chevalier DeVaudrey form the main
theme OF a heart-gripping appeal
through which runs plot and counter
plot.
Mr.. Glaser's versatility is again EVIL
denced in his striking portrayal of the
role OF DeVaudrey. He invests the
part with all the dignity and grace
becoming to courtier OF France. All

SO much of the charm OF Miss Fay

Charles Carver's work as the Grip
pied Pierre Frochard, Is deserving OF
special mention. Mr.. Carver has a
well.modulated voice, which stands
him in excellent stead. Miss Ruth
Gates, as Henriette, is excellent

Frederick Kirby is good as the Mar

"Well, thai doesn't hurt" answered
Mr. Van TorP.
He heard a snUTt Of scorn on the

from the next room.

sir" said the excellent man, as Mr..
Van Torp pointed to the things that
lay about.
AS he went out, he recognized the
voice of his neighbor, who was talk
ing excitedly in voluble German, some
where at the back of the house.
Hes complaining now" thought
Mr.. Van Torp, with something like a
smile.
He had already been to the best
hotel. in the hope of obtaining rooms,
and he had no difficulty in finding it
again. He asked for Nine. da Cor
dova. She was at home, for 1t was an
oft-day; he sent in his card, and was
presently led to her sitting room.
Times had changed. Six months
earlier he would have been told that
there had been a mistake and that she
had gone out.
She was zone; a letter she had
been wris.hg lay unfinished on the
queer little desk near the shaded
window, and her pen had fallen across
the paper. On the round table in the
middle of the small bare room there
stood a plain white vase full Of corn
flowers and peoples, and Margaret
was standing there, rearranging them,
or pretending to do so.
She was looking her very best, and
as she raised her eyes and greeted
him with a friendly smile. Mr.. Van
Torp thought she had never been so
handsome before.
Margaret held out her hand and he
took t.; and though its touch and her
friendly smile were like a taste Of
heaven Just then, he pressed her An
gers neither too much nor too little,
and his face betrayed no emotion.
ITS very kind of you to receive
me, Miss Donne," he said quietly.

well, it's not much OF a place."
said Mr.. Van Torp, thoughtfully.
There's one room the size Of horse
box, one bed, one basin, one pitcher
and one towel, and I've brought my
valet with me. I've concluded to let
him sleep while I'm at the opera, and

Margaret laughed. for he amused
her.
81 suppose yoy're exaggerating little
bit" she said. TITS not really quite
so bad as that, IN it?"
TITS worse. There's a lunatic in the
next room who calls me f. Sharp
through the door, and has lodged a
complaint already because I whistled
while J was shaving. It's not a very
good h9tel. Who is f. Sharp, any
way? Maybe that was the name of
the last man who occupied that room.
I don't know, but don't like the idea
of having a mad German pianist for
neighbor. He may get in while I'm
asleep and think I'm the piano, and
hammer the life out of me, the way they
do. I've seen a perfectly new plano

seen him in his present mood.

said, but let me hear the tune"
Van Torp rose and went to the
window and she looked quietly at his
square figure and his massive, sandy
head and his strong neck. Presently
he began to whistle. very softly and
perfectly in tune. Many a street.boy

Rushmore would have called II a vul-

But as Mr.. Van Torp went on, she
opened her eyes very wide and held
her breath. There was no mistake
about It; he was whistling long pieces

BARRIERS COMMISSION.
Waterbury Men Getting Up Petition
 for It's Establishments.


 The local barbers have in circula- tion among themselves a petition for the abolition of the barbers' conmis- sion, says the Waterbury Democrat. and they have already conferred with Representatives elect W. E. Thoms and w. F. Monagan with view of getting their support when the matter shall reach the legislature. Almost every barber has signed the paper.
 The barbers base their action on the ground that the barbers' commission is of no public use and benefits mo- body but the individual members of the commission and is getting to be g nuisance. They object to paying S1 every year for the unnecessary pur- pose of undergoing an examination as to their efficiency as barbers. They say that once is sufficient. Doctors and lawyers and other professional men are not examined every year as to their skill and efficiency and therefore why should the barbers, they ask. They answer this question by saying that the purpose is to feed the barbers' commission another dollar and that is all
 The commission, they say, does not regulate the barber shops in number, does not prevent competition. does not induce excellence in the business or in any way affect their establishments only by the payment of one dollar ev- cry year.

FALLING HAIR Easv to Stop It and Make It Lustrous and Bsautiful

If your hair is falling out; if you have dull unattractive hair, or II you need a daily hair dressing, read what Mrs. Hettie HodgInan of Nelsonyllle' Erie County Ohio, writes June 3. l9l0, about Parisian Sage:
 T used Parisian Sage for falling hair and find it the finest thing l ever heard of. My hair was falling out py combs full, and I could run my fingers through it and they would hang full or loose hair. I washed my hair and got a bottle of Parisian Sage and used two applications, and 1 could see great difference. My hair was lus- trous and nice and had almost stopped falling out, and by the use of one more bottle it stopped altogether"
 For women, for men or for children, Parsian Sage is without any doubt the finest preparation for the hair. It is guaranteed by The Lee & Osgood Go. to stop hair from falling; to erad- icate dandruff and stop itching scalp in two weeks, or money back. It is a most daintily perfumed and refresh ing hair dressing, free from grease or stickiness and ought to be in every home where every member Of the family could use it daily.
