"Aiss Nobody"
Mort H. Singer has spared neither
pains nor money to give miss Nobody

a notable cast. The scenery and cos
tunes are pronounced the most pre-
tentious ever assembled for Princess
Theater production. The cast is one
OF extreme excellence and has Olive
Vail as its star. The chorus fully
maintains the reputation of the Sing
er management of presenting a bou-
quet of American beauties in the big

al novelty is a big musical comedy
dress rehearsal scene. Before the per-
Torrance the stage manager calls a
rehearsal. STARS" stage hands"

characters are shown in real life. And
such a rehearsal! It shows the stage

GIRLS NAY
go TO THE DEVIL
Jurist Declares Delinquents
Are Unprotected Badly
in Need of a Home.

Chicago. ILL.,, May 20.-That 222
girls who were delinquents were
allowed to .go to the devil" in
Chicago last year because the courts
had nowhere else to send them, and
that within twenty years cannon would
be seen only in museums, because the
age of peace had dawned where two OF
the startling statements made at the
conference held in connection with
the Child Welfare Exhibit at the Coli
scum.
Judge Merit w. Pickney of the Ju-
veline court is authority for the state
ment that 232 girls were unobstruct-
ed in their descent devilward, and c.
E. Beals. secretary of the Chicago
Peace society. was the optimistic soul
who told the children that the days Of
wars had gone and that their children
would look with wonderment upon
cannons and guns.
Lack Of parental authority was urg
ed by Judge Pickney as one Of the
principal causes of Juvenile delinquen-
cy. That there is often physiology
cal reason was stated also, and DIR.
William Healy of the Juvenile Deten-
ton home was quoted as saying that
only IS per cent of the children brought
to the home are normal. Judge Chas.
F. Goodnow of the Court of Dopestic
Relations, who was another speaker at
the conference, said that in time the
newer court. over which he presides
was destined to absorb the Juvenile
court.
The juvenile court" he said. deals
with the dependent and the delin.
quent, whereas the Court OF Domestic
Relations deals with the causes. For
1t must not be forgotten that there is
some adult responsible for every de.
linQuent and every dependent child.
Early marriages and lack OF know
ledge of the marriage vow have much
to do with causing delinquency and
dependency"
The Child Welfare Exhibit is going
in for chaperonage. 1t was decreed last
night that hereafter no child will be
admitted to the Coliseum after 6
o'clock in the evening unless accom-
panied by an adult. The great num-
Der of children who have been COM
ing to the. exhibit each evening made
this ruling necessary.
One child at least was benefited di-
rectly by the child welfare exhibit.
Early last evening Robert Berndt, Is
years old, was walking down Wabash
avenue. H went into the Coliseum be-
cause the doors were open and he had
nowhere else to go. AS he entered the
door he turned to the left and the first
section he passed was that of the boy
scouts. They were going through
some of their work and he stood gaz-
ing at them intently. But it wasn't
the first aid to the injured" exhibit
ton which they were giving which
was holding him. 1t was q sign read

like plays Of this kind go with me to
vaudeville.
Mansfield's Ivan was terrible. The
car is not old in years-not over
scventy-but you can see that Death
is shifting close upon his track. Ivan
has lost the power of repose. He
cannot listen, weigh and decide. He
has no thought or consideration for
any man or thing. This is his hab-
it Of life.
Glimpses Of Ivan's past are given in
his jerk confessions. He is the most
miserable and unhappy of men, and
you behold that he is reaping as he
has sown.
All his life he has been preparing
for this. Each day has been a pre-
paration for the next Ivan dies in a
fit Of wrath, hurling curses on his
family and his court-dies in a fit
into which he has been purposeIy
taunted by a man who knows that
the outburst is certain to kill the
weakened monarch.
Where does Ivan the Terrible go
when death forecloses the mortgage?
l know not. But this 1 believe: No
confessional can absolve him; no
priest benefit him; no God forgive
him. He has damned himself and
he began the work in youth. He was
getting ready all his life for this old
age, and this old age was getting
ready for the fifth act.
The playwright does not say Sd.
Mansfield did not say so, but this is
the lesson: Hate is a poison, wrath
is toxin, sensuality leads to death,
clutching selishness is a lighting to
the fires of hell. 1t is all prepara-
tion-cause and effect.
If you are ever absolved you must
absolve yourself, for no one else can.
And the sooner you begin the bet
ter.
We often hear of the beauties of
OLD age, but the only old age that is
beautiful is the one the man has long
been preparing for by living a beau
tiful life. Every one of us is right
now preparing for old age.
There may we a substitute in the
world for good nature, but 1 do not
know where it can be found.
The secret Of salvation is this:
Keep sweet and keep busy.

The Vanishing Race.

Chief Joseph died a few years agt
OF homesickness but many of his say
ings are still remembered. Upon his
surrender to Gen. Miles he said:' "Gnd
made me an Indian, but not a reserva
tion Indian. You might as we'll ex-
pect the river to run backwards as
that any man who was born free
should be content when penned up
and denied his liberty. Oh, let me be
a fire., man! Free to travel, free to
stop, free to work, free to trade
VIII ere / choose, free to choose my
own teachers, free to follow the r..
ligion Of my fathers, free u think.
talk and act for myself. and l will
obey tevery law or submit to the
penalty"
Many other chifetains made equal
ly futile appeals against the over
whelming tide of civilization, but
gone are the hunting grounds and
battlefields; gone the wigwams and
council fire. Where once the red man
claimed kingdom. farm house and
villages. mills and factories dot the
landscape. Where once upon the
clear air rang out the cries Of the
war-dance, or mingled With the winds
Of the forest, drifted weird and low
the chant of the braves, now the
laughter OF white children at their
play In the school yard or the peal
OF the bells calling men to worship
tho white mans God, ring out across
the morning.
"A survival Of the fittest" the prac-
tical man will say, and he may be
right. From the viewpoint of close
association with the red man, his
faults are apt To be magnified and
his virtues forgotten, but when the
last member Of the vanishing race
shall have folded his blanket about
him and passed beyond the great di-
vide. we may remember the Indian as
he has even been. brave, self-sacrin-
cling and honorable to a marked &C.
gree.
Gen. Miles. the veteran of inary
Indian wars. has said: 1.-The whites
have broken every treaty they ever
maze with the Indians, but the III
dams never broke a treaty they NAL
with the whites" Col. Cody, better
known as Buffalo Bill, said: "I have

Observations of changes in the field

mat were formerly below the horizon.
and the disappearance of low-lying
objects that were formerly visible
have been made in many parts of the
world. Such changes occur with COM
paratiNe frequency in the district
around Jena, i'm Thuringie. Another
remarkable alteration OF level has

century in the foothills Of the Jura. In

THE PROBLEM OF DIVORCE.
Some Facts and Some Figures Upor
Growing Evil.

According to the census OF 1890.
there was a married population In the
United States OF 22.447.76s. with an
annual average OF 33.1s7 divorces.
That Is. there was one divorce TO ev-
cry s7s OF married population. writes
Rheta childe Dorr In The Forum. Ac-
cording to the census OF 1900. there
was n married population OF 27.770.-
1of. with an annual divorce record Of
s5.502. or one divorce to every 500 Of
married population. Between 1854
and 1905 the record OF divorces reach
es the amazing total of s45,625.
Nearly n million American marriages
went to pieces In twenty years. That
II. disruption overlook 47.2s1 mar
riages a year. s.s4o a mon,h-more
than i3o q day.
No one section OF the country pro-
duces a much larger divorce crop
than another. Louisiana. with its
large Catholic population. Norman
Utah and Unitarian Massachusetts
furnish similar figures. Broadly
speaking. the divorce rate rises as We
cross the map westward. but, on the
whole. the rate Is fairly even through
out the country. The rate Is slightly
larger I'm cities than in the country.
but divorce Is by no means a city
problem.
IL Is astonishing to find that divorce
laws. stringent or liberal. affect the
rate very slightly. New Hampshire,
Utah and South Dakota show almost
exactly the same proportion OF di-
vorces per population and per mar
riages- New York with Its one cause
for divorce and New Jersey with it's
half-dOzen causes show a rate nearly
identical.
The solution OF our divorce prob
lem lies In securing better relation
between men and women In every de-
partment OF life. 1t Is an anomaly in
this republic that there should be any
distinctions on account OF sex. 1t is
absurd u.at women should receive
lower wages thSn men for equal work
performed or equal service given. 1t
In unfair To deny women their share
In pnolic housekeeping. 1t Is unjust
10 tax them and at the same time re-
fuse 'hem citizenship.
An, sr'can women are as well edu-
Gated. as Intelligent. as moral. as con-
scientious and. within their opportu-
mites. as efficient as American
men. Once this Ia fully recognized:
once the last vestige OF sex prejudice
and sex contempt vanishcs from Gus
tom and from the statute books: once
tho same standard OF morals Is recoq-
nized In society "a Il is in the Law;
once II IL made at least as easy f,r
women as for men To- earn an honor
able living. once marriage on ahso-
lutely equal terms Is made possible
no moral or physical advantage IN
the side OF the husband. no parasltism
allowed ON the part OF the wife.
Then n will be perfectly safe TO at
