THE CAT AND THE FIDDLE
Musical Extravaganza Founded on
Old Nursery Rhyme

1t Il astonishing how few people
know that many of the Mother Goose
rhymes, SO familiar in the nursery,
were not originally written to amuse
the little folks. Take for example,
the celebrated and familiar tale THE
Cat and the Fiddle" upon which is
founded the musical extravaganza
which appears at the opera house to-
night. II was first written and pub
lished to hit at the extravagances of
the nobility and the foremost men In
politics in tbs reign of Elizabeth. The
Virgin Queen too, was not spared
in the satirical handling of the simple
little nursery rhyme 1t is a matter
of history that Elizabeth's court was
celebrated both in speech and in liv-
ing. The plain people looked upon
these scenes of festiyity as machina-
tons OF the devil, and dancing, espec-
tally Gas viewed by them as one of
his slyest arts to wean people from
the rightful course.
The cat in those days was looked
upon as creature symbolical of
witchcraft and evil and hence as one
OF the workers of the devils wlles. In
the lampoon, which our present nur-
sery rhyme really originally was, the
cat was the personification of the
wickedness prevailing in court circles
The COW also aimed at the person of
the queen herself and was a thrust
at her vaulting ambition and vanity.
and is expressed in her jumping over
the moon. The little dog, who laugh
ed to see the fun, was a better thrust
at the sycophancy of the .courtiers
who danced in attendance at the
heels of their sovereign. The line
"and the dish ran away with the
spoon was meant to convey the re-
suit Of all this wicked waste and ex.
travagance signifying that the work.
ing people OF England would 20 hun
cry for porridge, or that the porridge
dish and spoon would be driven from
the homes Of the poor people.

RADIUM PRODUCES DEATH
Fatal When Projected on the Nervous
Centers Of the Body


Paris, Nov S-Professor Bouchards
experiments with radium have brought
him to the convention that when
projected on nervous centers radium
produces paralysis and rapid death
This has not been tried on human be-
ings, but upon mice enclosed in heal
thy oxygenated receptacles. Mice
under the radium ray died in from six
to eight hours, while so-called control
specimens kept under identical con-
dilions, except that the radium ema-
nations were absent, remained well.
Microscopic examination of the an
imal tissues after death showed no
change except a diminution OF white
globules In the blood and congestion
of the blood in the lungs. The bodies
had acquired such extraordinary ra-
dlo-activity that three days after
death they made an impression on a
Photographic plate through several
sheets of black paper.
Madame Curie says that If the ma
ture of the radiations from radium
are little known the cause of spon-
taneous radio-actiyity remains as mys
FERROUS, and is always for us sub
ject of profound establishment"
This radio activity being commun-
icated to almost everything adjacent
to the substance except lead, the ra-
dium institute that the French gov
eminent or, more properly, the Uni
versity Of Paris. is building for Mad
anne Curie is being lined completely
with lead.

TO SWING. CIRCUIT
Most Elaborate Campaign Of Any Try

Washington, Nov. S.-Senator La

be the most elaborate campaign ever
made for a presidential nomination.
II is expected he will deliver ten
big speeches" and many rear plat
form talks in Ohio. Michigan, Illinois,
Nebraska, Iowa, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, and OK
lahoma. The progressives behind the
Wisconsin senator plan to "whoop II
up from now until the preconyention
campaign is decided.
Senator La Toilette will return to
Washington just before Congress
opens. Then the insurgents will play
a big card in Senator Cummins' fed
eral primary bill. While Mr.. Cum
Minis has not disclosed the details 1t
is known he expects to get around"
the constitutional objections which
many Republicans and Democrats
will present.
The bill will doubtless be pushed
early in the session. In it the pro-
gressives see a chance of defeating
Mr.. Taft for the nomination. There
fore it must be passed in time to in
fiuence the national convention.
The La Toilette campaign win not
much longer have the field to itself.
President Taft's friends understand
it is time to be organizing in a for
NAL way. The Republican national
committee is now merely skeleton,
with John F. Hill, of Maine, as the
acting chairman. Mr.. Hitchcock,
postmaster general, former chairman,
says he will not serve again.

Rev. Joseph Lambert Resigns
from Providence Pulpit
TOO MUCH CRITICISM

Things Against Him

Providence, r. l., Nov. S.--The Rev.
Joseph Lambert, who married John
Jacob Astor and Madeline Tallmadge
Force in Newport on September 8.
has resigned his pulpit in the Elm.
wood Temple, because Of protests
against his action by the other
clergymen. He will leave the church
on December l and go into business
Although the church has not vet
accepted his resignation, Mr.. Lam
bert says 1t will have to for he is
going to go anyway.
There have been a lot of unkind
things said against me especially by
ministers of this city," said Mr..
Lambert yesterday. Il did not feel
that | could continue in the work as
could not put the same spirit into It
as before.
Il am going into business and
snail retain my membership In the
Elmwood Temple at the request of
the trustees. My resignation Is pure
ly voluntary and was not taken as the
result OF any action by the people of
the church At the meeting OF the
trustees last month they urged me to
stay.
The worst thing the ministers can
say against me is that / married a
man who had been divorced for COM
hitting statutory offence. II was
simply his money which called atten-
ton to the marriage and II it had
been a poor man nothing would have
been said. There are lots of minis
ters in this city who have done the
same thing and can prove It. The
very TACT that my own association
did not censure me proves IT,"
Mr.. Lambert has been the pastor Of
Elmwood Temple since a year ago
last September He would not say
what business he is to enter, and said
he did not know what the chances
We're OF his returning to the ministry.
