years in the company of Sir Henry
Irving, first coming to America in his

Kindly Fruits.

The expression in the prayer book
"Kindly fruits Of the earth" has for
most persons no definite meaning on
account of the difference in signifi-
cance now attached to the word kind
ly from that used when the expression
was first written. The word kindly in
that connection meant as nearly as
possible "of its kind" and the express
sion kindly fruits of the earth"
meant "the fruits Of the earth each
after ifs kind"

HOLOCAUST IS IMMINENT, SAY
 FIRE EXPERTS
Roundly Condemn Crowded Wooden Tenement Sec
 tions in East Bridgeport

That holocaust is likely to start at any time in certain crowded tene-. ment sections of East Bridgeport, thanks to the disgraceful way in which flinsy wooden houses have been crowded against each other, IS the opinion of Fire Insurance Under writer Richard Frederick, Acting Chief Daniel Johnson and others who visited this section of the city today, following this mornings bad blaze at Hallett and StiIlIrran streets.
 The worst section is in the vicinity of Steuben, Hallett, Hamilton, Penn broke and Walter streets, and Walter court
 The worst portion of this neigh iborhood seems built up to the limit already, but despite this fact, enter prising contractors are finding room to crowd in more houses-al1 ol wooden frame sfructure7and in the opinion of the fire experts, but one little blaze is needed to start con- flagration that will blot out this en- tire section of the city.
 Crowded in with the tenementS, are barns, stables, a hay and grain store, a hay storage barn, innumerable ash bins and other sources of fire and starting points of conflagration.
 In some of the tenement houses as high as 120 people sleep at night. Exits are on blind alleys, surrounded by other flinasy wooden structures, and it is hard to imagine what the loss of life might be in case of a confiagration.
 Fire experts declare that it is noth ing short of criminal to permit fur ther wooden buildings to be erected in the already overcrowded sections in this part of the city. They de- clare that the biggest fire depart ment in the world could not cope with a blaze, once it secured a good foothold here. A million dollar fire would be almost certainty

LITERARY PLAYS WITH HIGH MORALS DON'T
 60 SAYS SHUBERT
Especial from United Press.)

(SpecldI rom OnlteQ PreSS.)
 New Haven, Oct. 12-Plays of high moral purpose are not produced, said Lee Shubert in the Yale News. today, because they don't pay. "The cry that comes oftenest to the ears Of the large theatrical producer is Why don't you people, put on better plays plays of greater literary value, of higher moral purpose of better con- struction Or more subtle characteriza- tion?' Assuming for the sake of ar gument that such plays are written and are available, the producers are most always losers because there isn't large enough audiences for them, which means that they will not en- joy a long enough run and a large enough attendance to make them prof itable, and as I have remarked, times without number, I am not in this business for my health.''

REBELS TAKE THREE CITIES:
 ON TO PEKIN
Government Buildings and Palaces Guarded and Council Kept in Session
Almost Entire Province of Hu Peh is Now in Hands of the RevOIutionists
Special from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Pekin, Oct. 12-There are sominous signs here that the revolution may soon spread to the capital. A gen. eral spirit of unrest prevails through out the city and the government is taking the most elaborate military precautions against the outbreak. The palaces and government buildings are guarded by local regiments and the imperial council is in continuous ses- sion.
 With three great cities and one of the richest provinces of the country in the hands of the rebels, the revo- lution is rapidly spreading. Three regiments are known to have taken part in the revolt at Wu Chang and it is feared that others will follow their example. Reports received here indicate that all the central provinces are seething with unrest and foreign consuls of the Yangste NKiang are tele- graphing for protection.
 Thus far there have been none of the usual results of outbreaks but the farseeing predict that the leaders of the revolt will lose control of their followers and the traditional hatred of the white race will take violent form.
 Since noon yesterday the revolution ists have gained complete control of the city of Han Yang and of the na- tive quarter of HankOw. The revolu- tionary party is gaining recruits hour ly.
 Death has been threatened to anyone interfering with the foreigners, but, as matter of precaution, all white women and children have been trans ferred to the gunboats in the river which include the American ships Helena and Villa Lobos. The govern mont is sending troops from Shanghai but the rebel leaders assert that they have the sympathy of the entire i'm perial army.
 Hankow, Oct 12-Almost the entire province of Hu Peh is in the hands of the rebels as a result of their in- tention to overthrow the Manchus dy- nasty. Following the capture of the capital. Wu Chang, yesterday, the rebel. forces marched on the import ant city of San Yeng which was cap- tured as well as several towns Of les ser importance.
 An attack on Hankow is believed to be imminent. A general who fled here from Wu Chang says that al- most the entire provincial army has joined the rebels and that the upris- ing is the most serious since the Tai Hing rebellion.
 The rebel leaders have refused to allow the foreign missionaries to leave Wu Chang. but have given assurances that their. lives and property will be respected. Gunboats are being rush. ed here by Germany, England and Japan, but the rebellion has thus far been undemonstrative against foreign af . ss
