Maude Adams Invention

From the New York American
 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 I<nick eroocker theatre here In nreraration for the appearance of Miss Adams and her company In "Chantes cler."
 The idea came to Miss Adams whilo she was playing in the Heart Greek tn eatre of the University of Califor. mia four years ago. In that remark. able structure the actors found that they were heard more distinctly by m audience of 5000 persons than they had ever been by an audience of one third that number in an ordinary the- atre.
 Miss Adams discovered that the wonderful acoustic properties of the university theatre were based not on the old principle of projecting sound from the stage, hut rather on the hold ing of the sound in the auditorium by means of a high cornice of masonry erected behind the last row of seats.
 From this idea she worked out the invention of the wall-like sounding hoard which is being put in the Knick- erbocker and which Mir. Frohman in- tends ultima tev to establish in gil fife tn eatres. The invention has been pat ented

him that such cases of monomania were not uncommon. Wilhelm returned to Lo- thario's castle bringing his boy with him. He found Mignon very i'll indeed, And must this strange child die with the mystery of her birth unsolved? Wilhelm thought.
 One other of the members of his aban- doned theatrical company Wilhelm had taken care of-it was the aged harper who had become so violently insane that Wilhelm had placed him in an asylum. Wilhelm went to see him, and the physi- elan in charge told him of several curious cases of insanity which had of late come under his observation. There was Count -. he said, who had become insane from suddenly returning to his castle where he was entertaining Prince = and fancied that as he entered his apartment he saw his own double" The countess, 1t seemed. had had an innocent tenderness for an actor who was stopping at the cas- tie, and the whole affair had been a practical joke arranged by some of the guests. The lover, on bidding the coun- tess farewell, had pressed her in his enl- l brace and had driven diamond ornament which she wore into her bosom, leaving an effect which her morbid fears exaggerated into a cancer.
 1 It was with the keenest anguish that Wilhelm heard the story of his own mis- adventures at the castle of the count 'One moment of pleasure-and an age of sorrow" he thought. He returned to ths tedside of the dying Mignon to hear her confess that 1t was her love for him and her jealousy of Philina which had caused many of her eccentric actions-she was oying and would confess Just then there arrived at Lothario's castle an old friend of the family, the Italian Marquis di Ci~ priani. The marquis came just as Mignon died holding the hand of William. Tho marquis was in search of Mignon-he | found her dead. It transpired that she was the daughter of a brother of his-an | illegitimate child-and the crazed harper was Mignons father. The marquis had sought the two long. and had got trace of them too late.
 But now over the ramblings and the petty tumults of the life of Wilhelm Meister's life settled a holy calIn-tho calm of the serene presence of the even~ balanced common sense of Natalia. Tho death of Mignon had plunged Wilhelm into his youth. But Natalia held him fast to grief, the knowledge of the fate of ths count and the countess had filled him with remorse: the presence of Felix was a perpetual reminder to him of the sins of the castle from which he often thought to fly by the serenity of her personality. Ie was the frivolous vagabond, Frederick who finally, in his impetuous manner brought Natalia and Wilhelm to an under standing The two were married and the apprenticeship of Wilhelm Meister waa l ended.

Women. Take Up Motor Cycling

From the New York American.
 Motorcycling is the latest fad for worn- en. They have taken to the sport with the enthusiasm they usually throw into anything that catches their fancy. And the wonder is, so the devotees declare, that more women have not taken to the gasoline propelled cycle before.
 Miss Polly Rice was one of the first fair New Workers to run a chug-chug cycle For more than a year hers was familiar figure on the suburban roads around and about Manhattan. In fact, Miss Rice appeared to have the speed mania, and the traffic police were kept busy trying to restrain this miss In her wild dashes over the main travelled thor oughfares.
 Now the sport has been adopted by number of women, who have readily be- come adept at the art of controlling the machine.
 Its not nearly so hard as you might imagine" insisted Miss Clara Inge n Central park last week T always thought a motorcycle needed trained mechanic to manage it and mans strength to control the handle bars. Be- sides, it seemed a dirty pastime. 1 be- ieved that you got covered with grease and grime trying to run them. Well. you just don't. I've been at 1t for two weeks. and this suit doesn't look very mussy, does t?" The spotless garment bore out Miss 1nges statement.
 Miss Inge is only one of the many wh3 voice these sentiments. Women learn 10 run motorcycles quite as readily as the men, say the makers. And once they have had a dash in the saddle of the speedy little affairs they get the craze.
 "Once motorcyclest, always motor cvclist." appears to be the motto with the fair sex.

LORIMER CASE NEAR END
Thirty One Witnesses Remain on the
List of Those Summoned

Chicago, Oct. 25.-An end to the
taking OF testimony here in the Lori
mer investiga ton is foreshadowed by
the statement of Senator Dillingham;
that examination of witnesses must be
confined closely to the points at issue.
Thirty-one witnesses are on the list
of those to appear before the commit
tee. Among them are Lee O'Neil
Browne, Democrat minority leader of
the Illinois legislature; Thomas Tip
pitt, leader of an anti Browne faction
in the legislature that elected Lorimer
and E. D. Shurtleff, speaker of the
house in the legislature of 1909.
That the list may be materially
curtailed is the prospect following
Chairman Dillingham's statement to
the senatorial investigating commit
tee.
I'VE are wasting time" he said yes
terday before the close of the session.
MANY of those on this long list of
witnesses have nothing to say that win
throw light on this question"
Counsel for Senator Lorimer have
made no attempt at any time to limit
the number of witnesses called or to
limit the lines of inquiry, it was assert
ed today. The prospect of night ses-
siona to clear up the mass of testi-
Inony still scheduled for inquiry has
been mentioned in the committee.

A CERTAIN CURE
FOR CATARRH

The mucous membranes of the nose
and throat are exposed to the irrita-
ting influence of dust, impure air,
ETC., and for this reason are the places
Catarrh usually first manifests itself.
But these are simply exciting causes,
the Inflammation and discharge being
really produced by an impure and
vitiated condition of the blood It is
we'll enough to use some local treat
ment to cleanse these membranes,
but any one can readily see that if
the infammatory matter is left in the
blood, such treatment cannot possibly
have any permanent effect. S. S. S.
cures Catarrh by cleansing the blood
of all impure catarrhal matter and
irritating germs and at the same time
builds up the system by its fine tonic
effects. When S. S. S. has purified
the blood, the mucous surfaces are all
nourished and made healthy. There
can be no Inflammation of the mem
branes then, because the blood is
pure, and every tissue receives nour-
ishment instead of irritating matter
Our book on Catarrh will interest
every sufferer of this disease, and It
will likewise give proper advice as to
what is best to use as a local aid
while S. S. S. is purifying the blood
This book is free to all, and we will
also be glad to give any special advice
you may feel you need. S. S. S. Is
sold at drug stores.
