WOMEN RULE THE STAGE.

According to Charles Frohman, who
Is unquestionably an authority in the
| matter, 1t is the women who mako
| and unmako plays In New York. He has
figures to prove It, for he has been
watching audiences for week. Be-
! tween 6S and SO per cent OF tho thea
tre- goers are women, he asserts.
Requested by ono OF the great uni
versities OF the country to give some
definite statistics OH the subject, Mr.
Frohman secured statistics by putting
checkers at the door OF five theatres
where his attractions are playing in
New York These men kept track OF
the number OF men and women enter
ing tho playhouse.
The results were: 72 per cent. OF Miss
Maude Adams's audiences in "Chante-
cler" were women. and they contri-
buted 60 per cent Of Miss Ethel Barry
morc's audiences in the two Barrie
plays. "Alice SIT by the Fire" and "The
Twelve Pound Look" sixty eight per
cent Of those who saw Miss Billie
Burke in Suzanne" at the Lyceum.
and GO per cent. OF those who saw
Paul NJ Potter's new farce from the
French at the New Garricls, called
THE Zebra" were women. The gen
eral proportion OF women at all five
productions was between 6S and 60
per cent.
The proportion of women in every
audience is even larger than 1 had be-
lieved" says Mr.. Frohman, "and indi-
Gates better than any thing else the In
huence women have over the drama"
Heretofore managers in general have
estimated that women constitute 60
per cent Of the audiences, but even
with The Zebra" q French farce nup-
posed to appeal as much to mon as to
women. the proportion Of women was
per cont greater.
In Mr.. Frohmans investigation every
type Of attraction but musical comedy
Is represented. Fantastic poetic drama.
serious comedy, romantic plays, light
comedy and farce were included In
the subjects. Some years ago statis-
tics were gathered as musical come
dies. and t. was found that the pep
centasc Of men and women was about
even. The balance shifted entirely with
tile type of the production. In leriti-
mate drama, as has been shown, wo-
men predominant.

Another story, making the seventh,
is being piled on the residence of John
D. Rockefeller, at Pocantico Hills.
This is his country home. OF course,
Mr. Rockefeller can do what he pleases
with his own money: but who ever
heard Of country home. real place
TO live in, seven stories high? There
is abundant ground at Pocantico for a
house that would ramble around, with
one floor, and seem like home; but
seven stories in the country! Why.
such thing would be impossible to a
family man Of good taste.

other protests have been made Of the
same sort
1t really begins to look as il the
agreement, will set through the SEN
ate, but by a pretty close shave.
President Taft has served notice that
II the agreement shall fail In the Sem
alto now he Will call Congress together
In extra session Immediately upon the
adjournment Of the present body and
take UP the whole matter again. Hc
has also warned tho members OF his
own party that they would gain moth
ing by forcing him to this course The
next Senate will have more Democrats
In It than the present Senate. and tho
Republicans will be compelled to go
to the country in defense for having
forced their own Administration to de-
pend upon Democrats to obtain any
measure Of relief from the eXactions
Of the tariff policy Of their party, with
the result as the President has warn
cd them, that the whole protection
system will be ripped up and destroy
ed. That is a contamination devoutly
to be wished. and While we should re-
joice to see 1t, the Republican Senators
cannot afford to take the risk.
Too high praise cannot be given Mr.
Taft for the manly stand knock
down and drag-out fight he is max
ing for this treaty with Canada. 1t
is statesma Mike work of a superior
sort, and has compelled the admira-
ton of the whole country, except of the
dlscredited Republicans OF the Senate,
who seem to have learned nothing by
the recent reverses of their party.

--ss6o.ooo POUNDS OF STEEL
HAS ARRIVED FOR THE
WORK.

The work on the new filtration
plant for the city of Fargo is going
ahead rapidly the engineers on the job
are now ready for the concrete work,
with the steel construction part Of
the structure to follow.
The cement making machines have
been set up at the site of the plant
and are ready for operation today.
There has been already received 10000
bags of cement by Contractor Kennedy
and more is to come yet to push the
work along.
The steel for the proposed building
has arrived and has been delivered on

steel structural stuff or $50 tons. These
different parts will be used through
out the plant.
The excavation for the basins and
the foundation Of the filter plant have
all been completed now and the actual

gain any idea Of the enorpidity of the
proposed plant without visiting the
site.
The entire structure will be abso-
lutely fire proof This is the reason
for the demand of so much steel and
concrete in the proposed building. A
large force of men are now working

BREAKS RECORD
STANDING Il YEARS
THIS MORNING JUDGE POLLOCK
BROKE THE RECORD FOR THE
HOUR OF OPENING COURT
CASE HAS BEEN DRAGGING AND
He DESIRED TO FINISH 1T.

This morning Judge Pollock broke
the record of his fourteen years on
the bench for the time OF opening
court. Court was opened this morning
the earliest that he has ever started
1t and the case was called promptly
at 8 o'clock The regular hour for
opening the district court is $3.50 in
the morning.
The reason for the early beginning
Of the court was the fact that the
court desired to finish the case before
1t today. The action has been drag
ging for some time and was started
a week ago, demanding the attention Of
the courts full time every day since It
was opened.
The hearing is The Merchants Ma
tional bank VS.. Peter and Nora Nelson
and involves a mechanics lien. There
are numerous checks that have to be
tailed before the court, and the TAX
ing Of testimony on, each OF these
checks has been the cause Of the
lengthy trial. II the case is finished
this evening the court will probably
take 1t under advisement.
The Trail county term OF the dis
trict court opens at Hillsboro, Mon
day morning and 1t is necessary for
the court to be there at that time.
For this reason 1t is desired to get the
case now pending finished and out
of the way today.
Judge Pollock often appears at his
office for the purpose of doing some
work before s o'clock in the morning,
but the beginning OF court at this
hour is not only something new since
he has been on the bench, but to the
recollection Of a number of old at
torneys in the city, it is a new record
for the court of this district.
Judge Pollock and w. G. Green,
court reporter, will leave early Mon
day morning for Hillsboro, where they
will start working out the calendar
at that place. The Hillsboro term of
the court is expected to be a short
one.
