DRAMATIC NEWS
AND COMMENT

A clever sneak thief stole five
carat diamond ring belonging to Miss
Sallie Fisher at the Colonial theater
in Boston late Friday night, and the
entire detective force has been baf
fled.
The ring, which cost $1,000 five years
ago, and is worth much more now, was
solitaire set in platinum. The thief
overlooked a purse containing 5000 in
cash, which was laid right alongside
the ring.
The detectives are now looking fer
mysterious woman who called at the
Colonial theater earlier the same even
ing.
The woman was favored by excep-
tional circumstances. Miss Fisher
doesn { wear the ring IN the first act
Of ''The Girl in the Train,' but leaves
it with her colored maid.
Just as the actress was about to go
on for the first act of the play the
woman appeared at the door of Miss
Fisher s dressing room. She had pre-
viously sent in message 10 Mr.. Dam
leis asking that he see her and give
her aid. Mr. Daniels sent out reply
that he would see her in a few min
utes. When he did see her he declared
she had never acted in any of his com
panies, as she had claimed, but gave
her charity donation and went on to
the stage. Then the woman in the alb
sence of the doorkeeper, went to Miss
Fishers S room aud asked if sine could
give her bunch of flowers. The ring
was then lying on the dressing table
In pla~ sight
Miss Fisher was touched by the evil
dent distress of the woman. and also
gave her some money. Then the wom-
an turned as If to go. and Miss Fisher
rushed TO the stare. as the act was on.
The maid followed her about the dress
ing room. The ring and the woman
had both disappeared, and UP to date
have not been found.

sack Of -four originally worth SIS was
the outcome of an election bet in
Austin, New. This town was holding
an election to decide the matter as
to whether it would incorporate. On
one side of the question was man
named Gridley, shown in the picture.
and on the other was one Herrick.
Gridley agreed that If the election
went against him, he would carry on
his shoulder a sack of flour and
keep step to the tune of "Old John
Brown" played by fife and drum
band trailing after him, the line OF
march being from one side of the town
to the other. Herrick agreed to do
the same thing If the question was de
cided contrary to his hopes, only the
band was to play Dixie" There was
deal Of war time feeling mixed up
In the matter.
Gridley's side lost out and so there
was time set for him to pay his cleo.
toin bet
After he had delivered the goods,
Gridley at once offered to buy the flour
back for $25 and Herrick at once took
him up. At this point Mr.. Armstrong,
who at that time was a citizen OF
the place. offered to give $50 for the
trophy, falling in with Herrick's prop
osition to turn the money over to the
fund of the United States Sanitary
commission This was the start of
the movement that ultimately ended
in swelling the charitable fund to ST.
100000 throughout the country.

HAVOC IN SOUTHERN VIRGINIA
Fifteen People Reported Dead---
Small Boats Sunk Wind
70 Mi os An Hour.

Newport News, Va.-Sweeping out
of the southwest with cyclone veloc-
ity a wind, rain, hail and electrical
storm struck the lower end of the
Virginia Peninsula Monday and left
a train of death and ruin.
1t is difficult even to estimate the
number of dead, for many small craft
went down in the storm at various
points along the James River and in
Hampton Roads. Conservative esti-
mates placed the dead at not more
than Is.
None of the bodies have been re-
covered and nothing is known here
of the identity of the missing people,
as most of them were fishermen from
distant counties along the James.
Great havoc was wrought in this
city, houses being unroofed and trees,
wires and telegraph poles blown
down.
Half a dozen vessels moored at
piers here broke away and nearly all
were damaged.
At the yard of the Newport News
Shipbuilding Company the submarine
Seal was struck by schooner and
badly disabled, and the same
schooner rammed hole in the Old
Dominion Line steamship Jamestown
Roofs of shops at the shipyard also
were torn away and scaffolding
around ships in course of construc-
ton on the stocks were blown down.
Damage was done the Chesapeake
and Ohio elevator B.
Rough estimates placed the prop
erty loss and damage at upwards of
100000.

DIRECT ELECTION
OF U. S. SENATORS
Resolution is Finally Passed
by the Senate.
FINAL VOTE IS GA TO "a.
The Resout on Viii Now Go Hack TO
the House for Further Action
--vice President Sherman
Cast the Deciding Vote.

Washington.-Thr a tie vote
of the Senate Monday night Vice
President Sherman was enabled to
cast the decisive ballot which forced
the Bristew amendment upon the
proposed constitutional amendment
for the direct election of United
States Senators, which was then
passed by FIVE more than the neces-
sary two-thirds majority.
The vote upon the Bristow amend
ment came shortly before 10 o'clock,
after the Senate lad been in continu-
Gus session for 10 hours through a
scorching afternoon, IA Senators be-
ing recorded for it and "A in opposi-
ton. One Democrat, Senator Clarke,
of Arkansas, joined 43 Republicans
In supporting the Bristow idea. Five
Insurgent Republicans lined UP with
all Of the Democrats except Mr..
Clarke against the amendment.
After the Vice President had cast
the decisive vote in favor of the Bris-
tow amendment, the joint resolution,
as thus altered, was adopted, "a
to "a.
When the joint resolution, as
changed by the adoption of the Bris-
tow amendment, which was in the
nature of substitute, had been
adopted in committee of the whole
and reported into the Senate, an
amendment was offered by Senator
Bacon, of Georgia, which proposed to
leave the regulation of time and
manner of hoosing Senators under
this constitutional reform to the
Legislatures of the States, and per-
NIT the Federal Government to in
terfere only when the States refuse
to regulate the elections.
The Bacon amendment was defeat
ed, 43 to as, and another roll call
was ordered on the final adoption of
the Bristow substitute, which again
was carried, GA to "a.
The Bristow amendment takes the
place of the resolution which passed
the House early in the special SEES
sion. The change made by the SEN
ate necessitates returning the joint
resolution to the House of Represen-
tatives for rejection or approval,
While it is anticipated that the
resolution will finally meet the ap-
proval, in some form, of both
branches of Congress. it is both diff
cult and premature to forecast the
final attitude of Congress toward the
matter. Should the House accept
the Bristow amendment, the joint
resolution will be sent to Presi-
dent Taft for his signature and then
transmitted to the States to run the
gamut Of their Legislatures. The
approval of hree-fourths of the Leg
islatures will be necessary to make II
valid part of the Constitution.

HAVOC BY FALL Of HAIL
Heavy Damage Through Baltimore
City and the
County

Baltimore terrific electrical
storm, followed by series of rain
and hail storms broke over Balti-
more city, the Green Spring Valley,
Arlington, Mount Washington and
Towson Monday night and left de-
struction and desolation in its wake.
Thousands of dollars worth of dam
Iage to crops, greenhouses and truck
farms in the northern suburbs was
reported. Trees we're uprooted,
teams ran away, thousands OF vim
dows were smashed by hail, tele-
phone and telegraph wires were
blown down, avenues were flooded
from curb to curb, automobiles were
deserted while the occupants sought
shelter and in general 1t was the
worst storm that has visited the vi.
entity for the past 81 years. The.
storm in all its fury broke over
Arlington and Mount Washington
and there was not house or build
ing with northern or eastern ex-
posture that escaped damage The
strongest plate glass skylights we're
punctured by the hailstones, which
fell in torrents. And the hail was
not of the cherrystone variety
Residents of Mount Washington
and Arlington said that some of the
hail was as big as guinea eggs, and
as a matter of fact the fall of hail
was SO terrific that it caused nearly
a dozen teams to become unmanage-
able. The horses took fright and
plunged from the control of the driv-
ers. One driver was thrown from
his team and sustained fractured
arm. He was Mr.. William Dorsey,
Of Mount Washington, well-known
ice-cream dealer, who was driving
about his route when the hail caused
his horse to run away.

he never smiled. and his mutton-chop
whiskers marked him as one of the
old and faithful stock. But one even

showed unaccountable signs of nerv-

he confused it with the pheasant. He
served everything in the wrong or

put final touch to his shame by up
setting the salt over the only super
stitious member Of the party. Then,
