Lorimer HaStens Direct
Election, Says Munsey's

Recent events in Washington have
provided a gratifying justification
for the hope that the scandal of the
Lorimer case will prove a blessing
in disguise. 1t has brought these
questions home TO the whole people
with a force that never before was
put behind them.
There is every reason to believe
that the constitutional amendment
providing for popular election of SEN
ators will be submitted to the States
before the close Of the present Con-
gressional session. That it will be
ratified by the necessary three
fourths majority of the States is
hardly open to serious question. Two
years ago there was room for very
grave uncertainty whether ratifica-
ton would be forthcoming. Today,
with the thought of the Lorimer
case in its mind. and the stencil of
the Springfield affair in its nostrils.
the American public is determined
as 1t never was before to have done
with such things, to end the condi-
tion which makes them possible. O.
This means that the direct election
of Senators will carry; and with II,
long step will have been taken
toward the restoration of real gov
ernmental control to the hands Of the
people.-Munsey's Magazine.

One Box Of Cuticura Ointment and

when my boy was about three months

he took fainting spells as if he were dying.

Drags Man to Death Who
Attempted to Save Him

ossINING, N. Y, June e.-Bent on
self-destruction, Antonio Cuoma not
only succeeded in drowning himself in
the river here but dragged down to
death Ernst Sinclair. another convict,
who made a gallant attempt to save
Cuoma.
The men were marching along the
river wall with other prisoners when
Cuoma jumped into the water far below.
At first an escape was suspected, but
the mans actions in the water quickly
showed he was trying to commit sui
eide. Then Sinclair begged the guards
to let him try to save the other man.
Sinclair jumped in and swan up to
the Italian, who grabbed him round the
neck and forced him under. Coming up
Sinclair struck Cuoma with a hand
he had worked free. But the italian
again got a grip on his would-be res
cuer and bore him under. Cuoma still
had Sinclair in a death grip when the
bodies were recovered.

ABORN|S OFFERING
OF Il TROYATORE"
PROVES PLEASING
Edith Helena Adds to Her
Popularity in Role of
Leonora.

I'll Trovotore" is the tragic but al
ways appealing opera which the Aborn
opera Company is singing for the first
half of this week at the New National
Theater. It's first performance last
night demonstrated both its popularity
and the confidence which the public
has in the Aborns to render pleasingly
any of their selections. The house was
filled, and no one was disappointed.
There was frequent applause, and even
cries of Speech" greeted seI eral Of the
artists efforts.
Edith Helena added to her popularity
II the role of Leonora. Her acting was
very convincing and added decidedly to
the effectiveness of her singing. A very
pleasing Azucena was Marie Louise
Rogers. She has rich contlalto voice,
and the part gives ample scope for its
possibilities. Domenico Russo sang the
title role. Russo has a fine tenor voice,
but he was the only member of the
company who sang in Italian and his
acting was colorless. While the use of
italian and English together does not
interfere with the musical rendition of
the opera, II dc:racts to a certain ex-
tent from the dramatic impression. A
keener appreciation of the dramatic
possibilities OF his role would better bal
ance the work Of Miss Helena.
Harry I.uckstone sang the part of the
Count. and George Shields. the bass part
Of Fernando, the Counts follower. Zoe
Fulton was Inez, Leonora's attendant,
and Arthur Rollins, Ruiz.
Caesar SOdero conducted the orchestra
last night.
The chorus work showed an improve
ment over that of last week. In the
second act, the gypsy song is very we'll
done. in the third act the male chorus
shows to advantage in the soldiers
choruses.
Tonight Jane Abercrombie and Leonid
Samaloff will sing the roles taken last
night by Miss Helena and Mr Russo.
They will alternate for tomorrow's mat
inee and tomorrow nights performances.

VAN BUREN STRONG

Columbia Players Offering

With its strong appeal to youth and
enthusiasm "Strongheart," William c.
De Miles play OF college life, opened
a weeks engagement in the Columbia
Theater last evening. 1t was benefit
night of the Washington College of
Law, and every seat was filled with
friends of that institution. Mrs. Ellen

occupied a box, with her friends, and
was presented during the evening with
a huge sheaf of American beauty roses.
There is atmosphere" a-plenty In
"Strongheart" and noise enough to suit
everybody. The great scene, of course
is laid in the locker room Of the college
football grounds, where Strongheart,
disqualified for the game, watches its
progress and describes it with dramatic
intensity to the injured college mate
who cannot participate in the glories OF
the struggle upon the gridiron. In this
scene Strongheart played by A. H. Van

LONDON, June 6.-Americans ar

they say is a romance that should be
interesting to society at home-a
supposed engagement between Mrs.
Joseph Stickney. millionaire widow
of a New York coal man, and Louis
Bruguiere, millionaire, of New York,
Newport, and SanFrancisco.
Confirmation of the report cannot
be had just now. Mrs. Stickney's
home at 20 Hertford street, Mayfair,
is closed. 1t was learned there, how
ever, that Mr.. Bruguiere has been
Mrs. Stickney's guest for quite an ex-
tended period, and that they had gone
together to the country with a few
friends to spend the Whitsuntide hol-
idays.

Before they departed they were
seen together constantly at the
theaters, the opera, the fashionable
restaurants, and at the Derby. Mrs.
Stickney, at these public affairs, ap-
peared to be devoted to her young
escort. And to her friends she is
said to have confided that she was
very happy.

Mrs Stickney made her first appear

paying 5000, and entered London So

jewels and lavish entertainments.

Last August Postmaster General

was the honored guest at half a dozen
