such appointments have been open to

these also have failed, and the army is
needing more officers than there are an.

only eighty-two West Point graduates
Of 1911 available for second lieutenants.
Exactly 200 appointments, therefore,
are needed to meet requirements. Pro

him so that his bones began to crack.

a prisoner to Spain, where he astound-

anxious to try n bout with him. my

reasonable that we should begin by

A large bowl of wine having been
brought, he took this in one hand and
continued to address his challenger:
"If with both your arms you can over
power one of mine so as to hinder me
from drinking every drop Of this wine
we will try our strength together; II

PANICS CAUSED BY IGNORANCE,

Only the other day nearly thirty
lives were lost at Cannonsburg, Pa,
because fuse blew out in a moving
picture theatre. There was a tiny
flash, some one cried Fire." and in
an instant people were stampeding for
the doors. When the rush was over
nearly thirty men, women and children
had been crushed to death. And all
this was over nothing-because the
people did not understand.
There seems to be a woeful lack of
common knowledge about electrical
matters, and If the general public had
but known, by reading or any other
form of education, that the simple
blowing of fuse was as harmless as
turning on and off light, they would
have stayed in their seats and no harm
would have resulted. A fuse Is made
to burn out and when 1t does 80 II
fulfills it's destiny and saves much
valuable property from loss. When a
fuse does burn out 1t gives a tiny
fash, and sometimes a slight noise
but neither are any excuse for panic.
Another frequent cause Of panic and
consequent disaster is the resultant
fash when a circuit breaker auto
When there is any danger of over
loading and burning out the motors
which propel the car the automatic
circuit breaker opens, with a flash and
sharp conclusion, breaking the cleo
trio circuit and stopping the car. This
act In itself is perfectly harmless, yet
often furnishes excuse enough for
some imbecile to yell 'Firel" and then
the women and children, and
not infrequently, grown men. begin to
hurdle themselves off the car regard
less of consequences. The circuit
breaker is made to open Just that way
and 1t is perfectly harmless In
reality 1t is placed there for protective
purposes and not to brighten passen-
gers into Mysteries. If everyone were
acquainted with this important fact
the next time circuit breaker on
crowded car flies open the passengers
would only smile and remain perfectly
at ease until the motorman threw IL
back and started the car again.
OF course, there is no way to pre-
vent the frenzied rush of people liz
l,orant of electrical matters every time
fuse burns out or a circuit breaker
opens, but it is the bonded duty Of
every newspaper, every periodical, to
print concise explanations of the work
ing Of ordinary electrical apparatus
so that the people may become edu-
Gated to the harmlessness of electrical
machinery and have more faith in in
the safety of modern electrical appli-
ances. These truths should also be
taught in our public schools so that
the next generation may have thor
ough knowledge of electrical construc-
ton.

THE MATINEE Girl
Four Hundred Years Have Greatly
Changed Her.
NO WIFE BEATING HEROES NOW

A Notable Performances at the Nav
Thester, New York, Shows Advanos
In Womsn's Position Since Shake
spesrs's Time.
Dear Elsa-Dr. Brander Matthews
Of Columbia university says that the
middle ages were the dark ages be-
cause there were 40 matinee girls
then. Well, no; that is not exactly
what he says. Literally his remark
was that the dark ages were dark be-
cause there were no books or theaters.
But, of course, II there were no thea
tiers there couldn't have been any
matinees or matinee girls, and bis
statement may be reduced to about
the same thing, This speech was the
prelude to the most remarkable matt
nee 1 ever attended, one whose object
was to permit the audience to be spec
tators Of a matinee performance 400
years old.
The Faust who accomplished this
was DR.. Matthews, and a very simple,
unaffected magician he was n fsu!tless
afternoon dress on the stage Of the
New theater, from which he informed
those present of the treat in store for
them. DR.. Matthews, you know, is
not only one of the most delightful Of
writer's, but he is a most accomplish
ed and scholarly gentleman. The stu
dents and friends Of Columbia, where
Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-04-14

he Is head Of the department Of litera-
ture, of course were out in force. 1t
was the most intellectual audience
for q long time. Scattered here and
there through the audience were the
faces of celebrities In literature, art,
the drama, not to forget a sprinkling
of the most serious element of society.
Being a matinee, 1t was distinctly a
woman's audience, and 1t was pleasant
to note how completely In appearance
it refuted the SANDER that is always
cast at the with brains, for a
handsomer, more distinguished gather
ing 1t would be impossible to find at
any popular matinee. Every one was
quietly dressed, but some OF the cos
utmes, although dark and severely
plain, were extremely costly ones, set
off with one Of the large flowers that
is now considered the thing for the
fashionable b~outonnisre.
Had l wished to make a study Of
matinee that eminently cor
rect assembly would have been the
place Of places to secure information;
but, like every one else. I vas inter

preliminary remarks by DR.. Matthews
was transformed into the ssmblance
