The Value OF Ideals.

What We make Of ourselves depends
Upon the ideals which we habituaIly
hold. Our lives are shaped upon our
mental models. If these be high. the
life is lofty; if low it grovels. Man
is no better than nis ideals. The
stream can not rise higher than it's
source. Our Sork can never overtop
our ideal, our ambition. It is great
thing to keep the constant suggestion
of high ideals, IF things that are
grand and noble in human achieve
ment, in the mind. 1t tends to make
US love the right and hate the wrong.
There is one thing we ought to held
in such s9credness that no considera-
tion could induce us 10 dilute it, and
that is the quality of the life. the
quality CT our ideals. Whatever else
we are careless about, we capnot
afford to carry through life low ideals,
second class personalities or demOral-
lied mentalIties. However humble
our our homes or ordinary our environ

est possible standard. We should al

which tend TO deteIlorate the quality
of the life and make it cheap and com

Whatever your career. guard your
ideal as the apple of your eye, the
pearl of great price; for everything
depends upon the direction in which
that points. Ii it points downward,
no amount of money or influence can
redeem you from mediocrity, or even
save you from degraded lite. Man
is so made that he must follow his

Empire Music Hall at Edin.
burgh, Scotland, Burns.
Fatalities Confined Entirely to
the Performers.
AUDIENCE is SAVED
BY the Quick Ringing Down OF
the Iron Curtain.
Star Loses His Life Trying to
Save His Horse.

Edinburgh, Scotland, May 10.-Eight
bodies have been recovered this morn
ing from the ruins OF the Empire
Music hall which burned last night.
The bodies SO far identified are those
of Lafayette. the Great" and two
members of his company; Alice Dale,
VINO imperSonated the Teddy Bear
Midget and Joe CoSter. Two bodies are
those of members of the orchestra and
three others have not been identified.
Miss Dale and Coster were natives
of England. Lafayette was German.
He played for 20 years in the United
States. During the last two years he
has been in Great Britain presenting
at music halls a spectacular turn"
which introduced horse and dog. An
attempt to rescue these two pets cost
the performer his life.
Lafayette had escaped in the first
panic when the stage was a mass of
hands were rushing out of the place
when he was seen to reenter the stage
door saying as he did so: Il am going
to try to get my horse and dog" When
the ruins were examined today the ac-
tors charred body was found beside
the body of his horse and a heavy
burned timber lay across both man and
beast.
The fire started in a mass of scenery
used in the conclusion of Iafayette's
military pageant in which he repre-
sented Lord Roberts and other cele-
brities on horseback.
In a moment the stage was filled
with flames. The iron fire curtain was
hastily lowered and the audience which
at first thought that the burst of fire
was part of the spectacle, escaped
with little panic. Those behind the
scenes. having secured the safety of
the auditorium made a mad rush for
the exits. When the fire was at its
height the iron curtain fell in on the
stage.
Lafayette, who was a popular and
picturesque character recently finished
a season at the largest London halls
He had a residence in London and
across the front Of the home were
blazoned the words Lafayette the
Great Under this were pictures of
himself with his horse and dog.
Several American negroes composing
his brass band are supposed to have
escaped
The theater was to have been the
scene during King Georges visit in
July, of the first music hall perform
ance ever given in the country by royal
command.
Later the bodies of the two musi-
clans killed were identified as those of
members of Lafayetes company. Ac-
cording to some of those who escaped
from the rear exits a trained lion be-
longing to Lafayette got loose during
the panic and blocked the stage door
through which the performers were at
tempting to escape. Lafayette had
desperate struggle with the beast be-
fore he got him out of the way.
Lafayette, the Great" was born
Sigmund Neuberger. Ten years ago
the courts legalized his stage name. He
was about 40 years of age and is well
remembered in New York. His devo-
ton to his trained dog was marked. He
also had trained lion which with the
dog was always introduced in his act.

ASK WAIVERS ON TWO.
Cub Management Plans to Send Plies
ter and Ruelbach Back.

New York, May 10.-Manager Frank
Chance of the Cubs has asked for waiv-
ers on Pfiester and Reulhach, two vet
eran members of his pitching staff
Chance disclosed this news last night
when the team returned from it's dis
astrous contest with the New York Ma
tionals.
Inability to acquire control is said to
be the preliminary reason for letting
them go.
"I am going to give the pitching staff
a wholesale shaking up,' said Chance.
"Yes, I asked for waivers on Reulbach
and Pfiester, before the club left Chi
cago. If possible I will try to complete
trade in order to land other pitchers
who might be given regular work. 1t
is an utter impossibility to use men
who cannot control their curves and be-
sides much valuable time and many
needed games are lost before Reulbach
or Pfiester reach their real form.
Il cannot go ahead and hope to work
Brown every time we come along to d
critical point. At present Brown,
Richie, McIntire and Weaver are the
only men in condition to pitch winning
ball. Toney and Griffin will have their
trials and Cole should be back on the
job before long, but I'm done with these
erratic twirlers.'

CUTS OCEAN TRIP.
Newfoundland's Premier Has Plan TO
Cross Atlantic Quickly.

New York, May 10.-Sir Edward
Morris, premier of Newfoundland
who is in New York on his way to the
coronation is taking advantage of his
brief stay here to discuss with a syn
dicate of capitalists the proposed con-
struction of a railway from Quebec to
a point on Cape Sir Charles on the
coast of Labrador. The railway, ac-
cording to the premier's plans, will
connect at its Labrador terminal,
with a proposed new line of steam
ships of the Lusitania type, running
between Sir Charles and Liverpool,
making possible a three day trip
across the Atlantic.
"I sec no reason in tie world" de-
clared the premier at his hotel here,
"Why such a route should not be sue
cessful and 1 believe the proposal will
meet with the favor of both the Que
bee and Newfoundland governme ents.
Cross Ocean in Three Nights.
"It will mean by far the shortest
passage across the Atlantic and with
ships of the most modern type, the
voyage from land to land can be
accomplished with only three nights
at sea. The route would be open all
the year round.
From Cape Sir Charles to Quebec
is about 1000 miles and with line
of standard gauge, this could be COW
cred at 60 miles an hour, which means
that passengers could be landed in
lower Canada and in the central
United States "a hours earlier than by
the biggest liners to New York today.
The ocean passage would be 1000
miles shorter

BACK TO U. S.
Women and Children Have Been Leav-
ing City of Mexico for a Week.

Mexico City, May 10.-Notwithstand
ing the success attending the efforts
of the rebels in Juarez the loyalistS in
the capital appeared confident today of
ultimate federal supremacy. The at
tention of officials of the war depart
ment was directed almost entirely this
morning toward events on the border,
there being now no activity on the part
of the rebels in the south which could
be construed as an intended attack on
the capital. The only force of conse-
quence in the vicinity of Mexico City
is that of Gen. AmbrOSiO Figuroa who
is camped 100 miles south of the capital
and with whom a truce was arranged
yesterday.
Every train leaving the city for
week has taken American women AMI
children back to the United States and
steamboat passage from Vera Cruz has
been engaged for the next three weeks.
The feeling against Americans here
exists almost solely among the stud
this feeling is attributed to the fact
that Americans control most of the big
business enterprises of the country and
important offices in these concerns are
filled by Americans.
The student outbreak of last fall fur
nishes examples of what Americans
might expect in event of intervention
though the demonstrations probably
would be on a larger and more serious
scale.
The above was filed at Mexico City
this morning prior to the receipt there
of the news that Juarez had been taken
by the rebels
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1911-05-10

he made last evening. He said among
other things:
After Ensenada has been taken the
work of organizing the government will
begin.
THE merchants are free to reopen
their stores and resume business. 1
have destroyed every drop of LIQUOR in
Tia Juana except some beer and light
Wines"
The hunt for bodies in the rocks and
under brush near Tia Juana was re-
sumed this morning. Regarding the
possibility of movement of the troops
under Colonel Mayot, now guarding the
United States government work on the
Colorado river, Pryce would say moth
ing.
The main street of Juarez is in ru-
ins. some of the houses being riddIed
with bullets. Plaster, brick and piles
of debris are scattered everywhere
Windows in many of the stores have
been demolished. but rebels are guard
ing the entrances to them to prevent
wrecked by the dynamite bombs and
shells.
Battle at SaltilIo
Laredo. May Unreliable information
that 56 federals were killed at Saltillo
yesterday in a fight with insurrectos
was brought here today by a railway
conductor who was an eyewitness of
IL
into a trap.
The slaughter occurred at a cotton
mill in the eastern part of Saltillo,
where a company of so federals had
sought shelter during a rebel attack.
The insurrectos, who appeared to be
about equal in number, kept up an in
cessant fire on the mill from all sides
from $3.50 in the morning until in the
afternoon. Then they made a feint
of retreating and the federals rushed
after them to attack their rear. 1t
was only a decoy force which retreated
for as the federals stopped clear of
the mill, they vera suddenly hanked
by the rebels, who shot them down all
most at will. Only four of the federals
were seen to escape.
Reports from Conception Deloro to-
day tend to confirm last nights dis
patches that insurrectoS had complete
ly annihilated a force of federals at
that place. No accurate statement as
to the number of casualties was avail
able but estimates of so to go dead or
desperately wounded were made by in
coming railway passengers.
