Grounds Is $4,000; workmen
Have Marrow Escape,

A small tornado swept north OF the
city Wednesday, afternoon, doing much
damage to property and crops and en-
dangering several lives. Sweltering
Detroiters looked longingly toward the
threatening storm clouds and waited
In vain for them to break. When they
learned OF the havoc the storm had
wrought. they congratulated them
selves on having been out OF its path.
The total damage was close TO $10,-
900.
The approach OF the storm was rap
Id. and II broke with great fury, the
cloud assuming almost funnel shape
at one stage. II seemed to center
around the brand new plant OF the
Sheldon Granite Co., just south OF the
State Fair Grounds, where 25 men
were at work. II lifted the big roof.
40 feet wide by 165 feet long from
over the heads of the workmen and
carried one section OF II the length
OF city block. Another section was
carried almost as far. At almost the
same instane one OF the walls col
lapsed with crash. Fortunately, It
fell outward; otherwise II is certain
that several OF the workmen would
have been killed.
When the roof disappeared, ]. w.
Sheldon, president Of the company.
ran forward to the office to look after
the stenographer, but found she was
unhurt
The cUmpany's building had Just
been completed and was considered
one Of the best plants Of its kind in
the state. There was about $4,000
worth OF stock In the show room, but
by good fortune not one of the pieces
was damaged. Mr.. Sheldon estimates
the damage to the building at about
81, 900.
Two small frame blacksmith shops,
with canvas roofs. on the State Fair
grounds, were demolished. Frank H.
Colby, of Detroit, and w. l.. Snow,
of Hornell, N. Y, two well-known
race-track drivers, were sitting In
the shop, conducted by Mr.. Gle
ment, of Birmingham, and narrowly
escaped injury.
A large tree was blown down and
fell across tent where Mrs. Frank
Paine was sitting. She miraculously
escaped injury. Several trees were
blown down in Evergreen cemetery.
The blow was accompanied by a
heavy downpour of rain, with some
hail, but 1t did not extend farther
south than the Ford plant. The rain
lasted for about an hour.
About 20 poles belonging to the
Edison Illuminating Co, were blown
down near BEDFORD, and gang Of
men was working all night to re-
pair the damage.

THE STAGE

Norman Hackett. the talented and
popular young dramatic star OF this
city, who was induced by Manager
Moore OF the Temple theater to give
up part OF his vacation and headline
the program In that playhouse this
week. is achieving new honors In his
vehicle. a delightfully."- funny fareical
sketch entitled, "A marriage In a
Motor Car" Edgar Allen woolf is
the author OF the unique playlet, and
its excellence as source OF mirthful
comedy Is attested by the vogue II is
enjoying with pleased patrons. Mr..
Hackett Is still young, but his ability
as a player is considerable and gives
promise OF greatness when maturity
is reached. He is capably supported
by the gifted and beautiful leading wo-
man, Miss Doris Mitchell. who has
been previously ASSOCIATED with him
In this way, notably in Classmates,
with unusual success. Both have
been seen In various other successful
productions and are great favorites
locally.
Beginning Monday evening, July "a.
Joseph Z. Sheehan. Americas greatest
tenor comes TO the Detroit opera house
for q limited engagement with what
critics declare to be the finest ope "A

Sheehan Is one OF Detroit's particular
favorites, and theater-goers in this city
appreciate his wonderful voice and
are always ready to encourage his
efforts ~ give us better opera at pop
ular prices than most companies pro-
eide at double the prices. In view OF
the excellence of his company this
season II is more than likely that ca
pacity houses will be the rule during
the Sheehan Opera company's engage
ment The management announces
that for the first week the two favor
ties, I'll Trovatore" and bohemian
Girl win be presented, each being
given half week.
Next week the Miles theater will
inaugurate a series of Mutt and Jeff
pictures, having secured the right
from the Independent Moving Picture
Co. to the first exclusive run OF these
films as far as Detroit is concerned.
The pictures will show that famous
pair In some OF their most amusing
exploits and, inasmuch as this will be
the first opportunity Detroiters have
had to see Mutt and Jeff "a action.
they should prove OF unusual interest.
The new bill will be headed by Harry
Sullivan and company, who will pre-
sent the popular racing sketch, THE
Favorite." which Is regard as one OF
the strongest playlets on the vaude-
Vile stage. The climax Is an exciting
racing scene at Sheepshead Bay, which
is depicted by means of moving pic
lures and Is said to be decidedly real
istic. The Three Rambler Girls. wide
ly known as The Fashion Plate Trio
will contribute pretentious singing
and dancing novelty, and Momo's
Arabian Acrobats promise some UNI
usual stunts.

A New Library Function.

In the annual report of Herbert Put
nam, librarian of the Library of Con-
gress. is definite and well-formulated
plea for the establishment of a legis-
lative reference and bill-drafting bureau,
as a component part of his vast estab-
lishment The idea. of course, is not
new, but there is a fair chance that il
will crystalline some Congressional sup
port behind it at the present session, and
that it may become reality in the near
future
1t is Mr.. PutnanfS plan to estab-
lish this bureau of research on a strict
ly scientific basis-to have it pursue its
investigations much after the manner
of the tariff board in probing the facts
underlying the tangled maze of the
Payne-Aldrich schedules. Stripped of
all partisanship, of all verbiage, of all
editorial color, the photography of such
bureau could be consulted by Senator
or Representative with perfect conf
dence. If he desired the facts, he would
find them collected and classified. The
suggestion of the bureau is in line with
the trend of affairs within the Capitol

though the insurrectos had scattered the

" hen danger to American lives and prop

frming the view that the massing OF

HOW A WOMAN WON A WAGER
Started Business which Now
Reaches $4,000 n Month.

Reaches $4,000 n Month.
From the New York Herald.
Mrs. James Cunningham Bishop, Of y
East Sixty-fifth street, who, as a result
of a wager she made at a dinner less than
year ago that she could demonstrate
that women are capableof carrying on a
successful business began selling minera
water, yesterday announced that she had
just made a shipment Of the miners
water to Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, American
Ambassador TO England, and to leading
hotels in Paris and London. Within less
than eight months she said, the business
has grown to such an extent that she
now keeps nine automobile trucks busy
delivering the mineral water to her Gus
toners.
Profits derived from the sale of the
water, which is taken from springs on
Mrs. Bishops country place at Yorktown
Heights, N. Y, are given to charity. Sales
now amount 10 more than 5000 a month
and the business has grown to such an
extent that Mrs. Bishop fears she will
have to dispose of her interest in the
springs because she has not the time 10
devote to the enterprise. She now has
four women secretaries assisting her in
the work.
Mrs. Bishop was entertaining a number
of her friends at dinner when the argu-
ment was advanced that women could
hardly be expected to vote intelligently
until they should become more familiar
with the management of business affairs.
Mrs. Bishop is L stanch advocate Of equal
suffrage, and she asserted that she would
make a wager that she could demon
strate that woman is capable OF profit
ably conducting a commercial enterprise.
Within a few days she learned of the
discovery of the mineral springs in her
apple orchard at her country place. She
had the water analyzed by experts and
when a report was received that the wa
ter contained health giving properties to
an unusual degree she exclaimed:
This will be the business I will operate
successfully. I will bottle the water and
sell it
Mrs. Bishop had bottling plant built
near the springs, and the first deliveries
were made in her own automobile The
demand for the mineral water is so great
now that she has little time to devote 10
the many charities in which she is inter
ested.

and may. at any moment, prove to be
the only guarantee for the safety Of our
nationals and their property. If II should
eventuate that conditions here require
more active measures by the President
and Congress, sporadic attacks might be
made upon the lives and property of
our nations, but the ultimate result
would be order and adequate protec-
tIon.'"
Cognizance of the delicate situation ex-
isting through the refusal of Russia to
recognize passports in the hands Of
American Jews IS taken by the President
in his message He holds out hope that
a subsequent message may contain more
definite information on the attitude OF
Russia In the premises. He says:
BY direction of the State Department,
our Amba ssador to Russia has recently
been having a series of conferences with
the minister of foreign affairs OF Russia.
with view TO securing a clearer under
standing and construction OF the treaty
of 1892 between Russia and the United
States. and the modification OF any ex-
isting Russian regulations which may be
found to interfere in any way with the
full recognition of the rights OF America n
citizens under this treaty. i believe that
the government of Russia is addressing
itself seriously to the need OF changing
the present practice under the treaty.
and that sufficient progress has been
made to warrant the continuance OF those
conferences in the hope that there may
soon be- removed any Justification of the
complaints OF treaty violation now preva-
lent in this country.
Il expect that Immediately after the
Christmas recess ] shall be able to make
a further communication to Congress on
this subject
