eALLINeER HAS RESIGNED
Has Left Taft Cabinet Because OF III
Health

Washington, March 7.-Richard A.
Ballinger, whose administration as
secretary of the interior has been a
storm center practically ever since
he was appointed, has withdrawn
from the cabinet of President Taft.
He resigned because of III health, and
today his resignation was accepted.
Walter l.. Fisher of Chicago was
named as his successor. He will
assume the duties of the office in a
few days.
Secretary Ballinger rendered his
resignation in letter on January l9,
basing it entirely upon the condition
of his health. The president replied
at once, expressing his confidence in
Secretary Ballinger and his reluc-
lance to accept his resignation and
requested the secretary TO remain in
office until the close Of the session
OF congress.
Immediately upon the adjournment
OF congress Secretary Ballinger re-
newed his request that he be reliev-
ed at date suiting the president s
convenience, but Immediately II pos
sible. Today President Taft in a
letter formally accepted the resigna-
ton.
The correspondence between the
president and the secretary is not
voluminous, but displays beyond ques-
ton the confidence which Mr.. Taft
has reposed In Mr. Ballinger through
out the long siege. and the indigna
ton with which he has viewed the at
tack upon the secretary's personal
and official integrity.

Perfect Combustion Attained by Aus

A practical demonstration has been
made in this city Of an apparatus for
the consumption Of smoke and the
economizlng OF fuel. reports Consul
General Bray OF Sydney. New South
Wales
The appliance consists Of a patent
firebox door cast In the form Of
deep box. with a sliding grid in front
by which the admission OF air is reg
ulated. The deep furnace becomes a
hot air chamber in which the air is
rarefed, after which 1t passes through
series OF breakers. formed in the
shape Of t irons placed so as to give
proper distribution OF air over the
furnace fire from the front The back
air box is placed at the end of the fire
bar area and is built in so as TO admit
OF the air being distributed over the
fire from the back, and by this method
Of admitting and regulating the air Il
perfect combustion can be obtained,
thereby bringing about a great saving
Of fuel As result the gases are con
sumed and the smoke discharged from
the smokestack is reduced to an abso'
lutte minimum.
The demonstration showed that the
smoke from the furnace, which was
charged with a full load OF slack coal,
was cut or within half minute after
closing the doors. According TO a re-
cent test the saving in coal amounted
to little over 25 per cent, while the
water evaporated per pound Of coal
was increased by over 40 per cent

1.-THE GIRL FROM REcToRs"
Metropolitan Success at the operi
House Friday Night

Metropolitan Success at the Opera
House Friday Night
1t is doubtful If a play has been
seen in Bennington in many years
that has attracted such wide atten-
ton as that accorded The Girl from
Rectors." The piece had its initial
Offering in New Jersey and was
brought to Weber's Music hall sim
ply for metropolitan tryout but its
success was so great, it continued an
uninterrupted run of three hundred
nights and played to the biggest bus
mess in the history of the house.
Critics declare it is one of the few
productions of its sort ever made
that carries with 1t a high class plot
and still contains laugh in every
line of the dialogue. Paul NJ. Potter,
the author of the work, who was also
responsible for "Trilby" and many
ceiyed more royalties from The Girl
last season than was paid any other
writer for a single work in such short
space of time.
The story of The Girl" is that of
young society woman OF Battle
Creek, Michigan, who is interested in
every charity there. For recreation,
however, she comes to New York and
through occasional visits to Rectors,
earns the title. When she returns
suddenly TO her home she finds many
OF her metropolitan friends there and
entanglements ensue which are not
explained until just before the fall
of the curtain on the last act. THE
Girl will be seen at the Bennington
opera house for an engagement OF
one night on Saturday. March IL.

POLI'S

In presenting "The Blue Mouse" this week at Polls, Manager Poli is offer ing a production which enjoyed a years run in New York and many months run in Philadelphia, Chicago and Boston. It is one of the most brilliant comedies that ever emanated from the pen of that gifted and pro- life playwright, the late Clyde Fitch and 1t fairly sparkles with wit and epigram. From beginning to end it is a riot of complication and fun, and 1t has been the custom of Poli audi ences to always particularly like com edy especially if 1t is good. Stage Director Socola promises a production on par in every way with the orig inal, and the standing of the Poli Players with the public by reason of their two successes already this season insures pleased and capacity audiences Miss Tyrrell will be seen in the titular role, the daring. devil may care music hall dancer, and MT. Ince will lead in the fun making. Johnnie Junior and Tom Moore have great parts, and the other players are congenially cast. The production will mark the first ap- pearance with the company of Anne Hollinger, brilliant actress, who has just completed a most successful sea- son at the Academy of Music in New York.
 Between the acts Jack Sherman and Eddie Healey will sing the latest pop ular song hits, Dreams, Just Dreams, and When You're In Town, and the Poli orchestra will have a select pro- gram of concert music. At each mat fnee this week coupons will be given all the ladies for the forty dollar silk gown now on exhibition in Laborde- Gelmans window
 The management announces the re- turn to the cast this week of Jessie Pringle, a big favorite here, and the early coming of Margaret Lawrence, another great favorite. Seats for the entire week are now on sale at the box office of the theatre, and the sub scription list will remain open a few days longer.
