The Big Money Maker

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

 You see, they think they know how to make money. AS a matter of fact they know nothing at all about it. Right here fin Washington Is man who makes $11,- ooo.o00 day. How is that for money making?
 Standing by the side of this big, broad shouldered man several days ago, I saw him actually throw s5.o00,ooo away. He in- sisted on doing 1t. I begged him to save @ few millions to give to the poor. but he laughed and threw another million away. Shiver my timbers if he didn't! A most reckless fellow he is.
 But then he makes so much he doesn' t have to care. Besides, 1t isn't his money anyhow. Tt belongs to the United States government. The man who makes 1t and later throws it away Is Joseph R.

New York, June 3.-(Special. 1.-The dis cussion against filth on the stage re- gently started by George M. Conan and members, has been productive of much good. Joseph Brooks of Klaw and Er- langer makes the latest contribution to 1t He says:
 'It was a matter of the keenest sat- isfaetion to me that I was interested in producing Ben-Hur.' It is much more than a play or a stage spectacle. It is a wonderful story and it's success was made because it dealt with a subject dear to the people themselves. But by far the most gratifying thing in con nection with the presentation of this biblical play is the number of people it has attracted to the theatre-people who ordinarily never grace the doors of a playhouse.
 'At the beginning of last season, Klaw & Erlanger and the writer had the ex- ceptionally good fortune to secure an- other play which is a striking example of the genuine play of the soil.

Unexplored America

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 A protocol just signed in behalf of the Peruvian and Bolivian governments ar ranges for a definite demarkation of the frontier, and refers any dispute, in mat ters of detail, to a tribunal of the Royal Geographical society for adjustment
 North of Lake Titicaca, in Bolivia, is a tract some 35,O00 square miles in extent, known as the Caupolican. Maj P. II. Fawoett R. A., who has lately returned to London after participating in the boundary survey between Peru and Be- livia, informs the Royal Geographical so- ciety that there still remain something like 10,000 square miles of the Caupolican into which it is believed that no white man has ever entered" When he has finished his work in connection with the present survey Major Fawcett proposes to traverse this region diagonally.
 The 10000 square miles to which Major Fawcett refers constitute one of the im- portant white spaces remaining upon the map of the Americas. The difficulties in the way of the explorer in that region are peculiar. There are records of expeditions of from 20 to as many as 100 men, from which but one or two have returned to tel the story. And the story was of fever. starvation and the slow torture of thirst The savages, who are temperamentally akin to the Borneo head-hunters. fre- quently poison the available water supply They do not usually stampede camp or the procession of carriers on the march; they lie in wait and shoot from ambush, and glide nocturnally through the jungle to descend upon the unsuspecting traveller It is absolutely necessary to win the friendship of these savages in order to traverse their country with a small party
