MAUDE ADAMS AN INVENTOR.
Secures Patent on Acoustic Board For
Theaters.

Secures Patent on Acoustic Board For
Theaters.
The versatile mind of Miss Maude
Adams, the actress, has devised a new
system Of playhouse acoustics which
is being installed for the first time in
the Knickerbocker theater, in New
York, in preparation for the appear
ance of Miss Adams and her company
in "Chantecler."
The idea came to Miss Adams while
she was playing in the Hearst Greek
theater Of the University Of Califor-
MIA four years ago. In that remark
able structure the actors found that
they were heard more distinctly by an
audience Of 5000 persons than they
had ever been by m audience of one
third that number in an ordinary the
alter.
Miss Adams discovered that the won.
derful acoustic properties of the uni
versity theater We're based not on the
old principle Of projecting sound from
the stage, but rather or the holding
Of the sound in the auditorium by
means Of a high cornice masonry
erected behind the last row Of seats.
From this idea she worked out the
invention of the wall-like sounding
board which is being put in the
Knickerbocker and which Mr.. Froh
man intends ultimately to establish IL
all his theaters. The invention has
been patented.

treaty will, of course, relieve the smell
ter at Great Falls from the payment
of about s60, 900 annually of custom
duties that now go into the federal
treasury from the tariff on this Cana
dian coke, which, under the treaty,
will have free entry.
The dividends of the Amalgama ted
company will be swelled to the extent
of this CSC, 900 annually. and the stock.
holders of that great corporation will
be gratiied, correspondingly, by the
bene6cent result OF ''reciprocity."
The farmers of Montana, however,
will, at the end of the year. begin to
wonder what has become of their part
of the profits of Canadian reciprocity.
In the daily market quotations on
J January 10 of the present year at
Pembins, North Dakota, barley was
selling at 81 cents per bushel, while
at Emerson, on the Canadian side OF
the line, four and . half miles distant,
on the same day, the market price for
barley was AZ cents per bushel, or %
cents per bushel difference.
On the same date, January 10 At
Pembius, North Dakota, wheat was
quoted at 81 cents per bushel, while at
Everson, four miles distant across the
Canadian border, it was selling at 81
cents per bushel, q difference OF ID
cents per bushel.
Can the great agricultural state OF
Montana afford to make this kind of
q business trade with Canada at the
sacrifice Of every interest in Montana
merely to relieve the Amalgamated
Copper company from the payment OF
the tariff duties now collected on Ca
madam coke?
This special brand of reciprocity
may be satisfactory to eastern manu-
fa%cturers; it will be satisfactory to
the railway interests, which will reap
q harvest OF freight tonnage under its
operation, In hauling the products OF
western Canadian lands to American
markets; but it certainly is not the
kind of reciprocity for which the peo.
pie of Montana are hungering and
thirsting. Some Montsnans calls /,
reciprocity; to the average citizen,
however, it looks like 9 lemon.

CHURCHES IN WAR ON PLAGUE
Two Hundred Thousand Congregations

Two Hundred Thousand Congregations
to Hear About tuberculosis.
April 80 has been set aside this year
as Tuberculosis day" and will be OBJ
served in 100000 churches in the
country in a manner similar to that
Of Tuberculosis Sunday" in 1910,
when 10000 ermon were preached
on the prevention Of tuberculosis. In
the first official announcement Of the
occasion made by the National Asso-
citation For the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis the leaders Of the
movement state that they hope to en-
list all Of the 100000 church men,
bers in the country.
In one respect tuberculosis day will
differ from tuberculosis Sunday of
1910. Instead Of requesting the
churches to give to the tuberculosis
cause a special Sunday service the
national association is going to ask
this year that meetings at which the
subject Of tuberculosis and its pre-
vention can be discussed be held OF
Sunday, April 30, or on any other day
near that date, either in the week pre-
ceding or the week following.
"What we want" says III. Living
ston Ferrand, executive secretary of
the National Association For the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis,
In a report on this movement, lis to
have this whole subject Of tubercu-
losis discussed in all Of the 100000
churches Of the United States at as
nearly the same time as possible"

FAMOUS HILL OF TARA
IS ABOUT TO BE SOLD.
Hiqh Kings Of ireland Once Lived on
Its Crest.

The famous hill of Tara, once de-.
scribed by James Bryce. British am.
bassador in Washington, as the most
Interesting and authentic monument
Of early civilization in northwestern
Europe is about to be sold, saws a
report from Dublin.
Today Tara hill looks much like any
other hill, but on it once stood the roy
al palace Of the ard righs, or high
kings, Of Ireland for many centuries.
It was there while a great national as
sembly was being held that st. Pat
rick converted the Ard Righ Leary to
Christianity. an event which is cele-
brated in many old Gaelic poems.
The glories Of the place came to an
end in a curious way. The ard RICH,
grandson or great-grandson Of Leary,
sent his representative out through the
provinces to collect the usual annual
tribute. This particular representative
of the high king was a little bit inju.
dicious, for when he arrived at the
palace Of King Guare of Connaught he
insisted on entering it with his spear
across Ills UOuN u11uC1 u1S dIu1S.
The spear was too long or the door
was too narrow to admit of entrance
in this way. SO in the name of the
ard RICH he ordered the door to be
pulled down so that he could enter in
the way he desired. King Guare re-
fused: hence the feud that ultimately
laid Tara low.
The clerics championed the cause of
King Guare, and in due time a depu-
tation Of them went to Tara, and one
Of them solemnly cursed the hill, with
the result that it became gradually de-
serted. The immense palace fell into
ruins. and it ceased to be the seat Of
the high kings of Ireland.
Some years ago the owner of the
hill, who died a short while ago, got
the idea that the ark Of the covenant
was buried there and had excavations
made, but all that was found were q
few old coins and weapons.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 70. 1911.
FOR POPULAR GOVERNMENT

The experience of Montana citizens
in their attempt to secure popular gov.
erument lie similar to that Of residents
of other states. The benetciaries OF
machine politics and boss rule die
hard. The attempt to substitute d.
rect government by the people for .
system Of delegated authority that csn
be manipulated by cunning and crook
ed methods, meets with stubborn re
distance from interests that seek con-
troll for their own personal benefit.
Under these circumstances, progress
is less rapid than Is desired by the
advocates of popular government, but
the latter do not propose to relax
their efforts to obtain for themselves
and their fellow citizens the rights
and privileges to which they are just.
~ entitled. As the employers of all
public officials, from president of the
United States to c%onstables of q town.
ship, the people should have direct
control over the selection Of these EN-.
ployes, and require that they perform
faithful and satisfactory service under
penalty of reprimand and dismissal.
In these respects the public business
should be placed upon the same foot
ing as the citizens priv ate business.
As one of the essentials to this de.
erred reform, the citizens of Montana
have demanded for several years past,
. direct primary law. The demand
has been met with promises from each
political party to the effect that, It
given control of the legislative assem-.
bly,, q direct primary law would be
enacted. But there has been nothing
doing In that connection. Members
Of the assembly who honestly favored
such reform legislation we're either in
. minority, or were tricked and thrown
down by influences that we're opposed
to the proposition.
The record of the Twelfth assembly
in regard to direct primary legisla.
ton is discreditable to its members
and an insult to their constituents. A
new law bearing the direct primary
label was enacted, in which it is pro
vided that party candidates for Unit
ed States senator shall be nomin aztec
by the state conventions of the respec
tive political organizations. This in
novation appears to the River Prest
to be q step Backwards scheme BY
which the selection of United states
senators will be more easily controlled
by machine politicians and corporate
Interests than II the election we're en-
trusted to q legislative assembly.
In view of the failure of each po
litical party to redeem its promise t.
give the citizens OF Montana q direc
primary law. the only available meth
cd OF relief is q recourse to the initia
tive plan of enacting the desired legis
lstion. The adoption of this metho'
Of securing popular government I
favored by progressive members o
each political party, and q co-opera
tive movement In the matter promise

COKE N

In discussing the action of the Mon.
tana legislature In passing q resolu-
ton favoring the proposed reciprocity
treaty with Canada, the Missoulian
calls attention to the fact that the con.
templated trade agreement retains the
tariff duties upon nearly all the arti.
cles which we import from Canada,
except farm products, coke and cod.
ash. The duties are to be maintained
upon farm implements clothing, boots,
shoes, paints, oils, glass, household
furniture, carpets and every other arti-
Gle which the people of Montana buy.
OF course, in the event of the passage
of the reciprocity treaty, the people
of Montana will enjoy the great priv.
ilege OF importing coke and Goldfish
from Canada free of duty.
When the 20 per cent. duty on cattle,
sheep and hogs has been repealed,
which has been in force; when the duty
on Canadian barley has been removed
which has given American farmers q
price OF % cents q bushel higher than
the Canadian market price; when the
differential has been removed from the
price of wheat, amounting to ten cents
q bushel, and when the loodgates have
been opened to the free importation OF
Canadian barley, wheat, oats, hay,
cattle, hogs and sheep, and when the
farmers of Montana and the popula.
tion of the towns which are dependent
upon the farmers cast up the final &C.
count, they will discover that, as far
as coke is concerned, they will be able
to import II from Canada, free of duty,
thus saving the one dollar q ton, which
is now levied at the Great Falls Gus.

Plainfeld, N. j.. March S.The
main building of Mount st. Mary,s
college, large Catholic institution on
Watching mountain, was burned, The
damage was more than 5000, 900.
Nearly $50 students and sisters got
out In safety
The excellent discipline established
enabled the sisters to assemble the
pupils speedily and quietly and march
them out in order. Several Of the sis
tiers were Iii, but we're rescued.
The school is attended by about 200
pupils, young girls and small boys,
many from wealthy families in cities
of this section. About two score sis
tiers were attached to the institution
as instructors and in other capacities.
The fire seems to have gotten under
good Roadway before 1t was discover
ed, and attempts to save the building
then were almost useless, as the dis
lance from fire protection was too
great for the firemen to combat the
flames successfully on their arrival.
The addition to the building, however,
WnlcH contained the KitcnenS ana
laundries, was saved.
\ There was little chance to save any.

loss to the students from the burning
of their effects will be likely to foot
up to a considerable sum. The stu,

decided at once that something had

termined to make him indorse a terse
