great burdens on their heads like

Women follow through the village

A BRIDGE Of Ants.

A species OF ants which spin silk is
common in hot countries. The ants
nest in trees. binding the leaves to-
gether to make their nests. The silk
used for this purpose is not secreted
by the adult ants. but by the larvae.
In order to attach the silken threads
and draw the leaves together the ants
must carry the larvae about from leaf
to leaf When two distant leaves are
to be drawn together a remarkable
method is employed. Five or six ants
form a chain bridging the gap between
the leaves. each gripping the waist Of
another in its mandibles. A number Of
such chains will cooperate in bringing
two leaves together.

DivIded vietory In cathoIle case.

The first OF the pending decisions
in the Catholic church cases in
rPottsville, Pa, brought by the late
Archbishop Ryan, was made when
Judge Bechtel informally stated from
the bench that the three county judges
are unit as to the law governing the
conduct OF Catholic cemeteries.
The decision is that the lay mem
bers of the congregations, under the
laws of Pennsylvania. nave supervis-
ion over all such cemeteries, and can
manage the financial affairs, hire the
grave diggers, etc.
But on the question of who is to be
buried in consecrated ground, the
court holds that the priest alone has
authority, and that lay members can
not decide whether a person has been
in good standing in the church so as
to entitle him or her to burial in a
Catholic cemetery.
This is a divided victory for the
parties to the suit.

Calumet Theater.

After an absence of two seasons, |
Grace Van Studdiford is here again.
She will appear in the comic opera
bouffe, "The Paradise of Mahomet,"
at the Calumet theater tonight.
Everybody who heard Miss Van
Studdlford sing in "The Golden But
,terny," appreciate what the statement
means that last season the New York
theater- going public expressed the
opinion that in "The Paradise Of Ma
homet" she was doing the very best
work of her career.
THE Paradise of Mahomet" is an
imported Offering from Paris, where
it enjoyed tremendous success for
over two seasons at the Theatre des
Varieties. 1t has been favored to AM
erican taste by Harry b and Robert
r. Smith. but of course the delightful
and Incompatible music of the cele-
brated French composer, Robert Plan
quette, remains unchanged.
The story of the comic opera deals
with an interrupted wedding i'm far
off Constantinople. a young widow,
whose husband left her side at the al
tar to go to sea was drowned, has
been plighted TO an Englishman, who
turns out to be a marriage broker.

Miss Hedda Laurent as Shirley
Rossmore was the star of the play.
She gave a forceful and earnest por-

nestly for her fathers honor and even
life, and on being repudiated, showers
anathemas on the head Of John Bur-
kett RYDER, the great financier, who
stops at nothing to further his monied
career. II was a piece of acting that
ras rarely been equalled here. Miss
Laurent has a pleasing appearance, a
magnificent voice which she controls
at will, and is possessed Of histrioniC
ability to a marked extent.

BISPHAM OFFERS
A fine PROGRAM
NOTED BARITONE WILL ENTER
TAIN HERE OCT. II UNDER
WoMAN'S CLUB AUS
PIcES.

David Bispham, known the world
over as one of the most magnificent
baritones now before the public. who
VIII appear at the Calumet theater
Oct IL under the auspices of the Cal
umet Woman's Club, was born in Phil
adelphia, the son OF Quaker parents.
To those familiar with old-t time
Quaker prejudices against the charm
.of music his evolution into the artist
of today seems nothing short of mi
raculous. The thrifty training i'm his
lather's wood house, the staid conserv-
atism and stern self-repression would
have blighted a less sturdy flower of
genius. Possibly this very severe
training gave him the strength to COM
bat conditions, at any rate early dis
couragements, distasteful tasks and
parental objections gave way before his
force of character and tremendous ca
pacity for work.
David Bispham made his debut as
the Duo de LOngueirlle" i'm 1.-THE Bas-
oche" given by the royal English OPP
with the Royal opera, Covent Garden
London, and at the Metropolitan OPP
era, New York, singing principal roles
in German, French, and Italian. In
the field of Grafton. concert and song
recital, he is idolized by music lovers
on both sides of the Atlantic.
With each season Mr.. Bispham
strengthens his hold on public favor,
He has recently appeared three times
with the New York Philharmonic So
ciety, twice with the Philadelphia
symphony Orchestra and with the
Boston Symphony Orchestra not to
mention a long list of important en-
lgagements with other societies in lead
ling cities east and west. His song
Irecitals are remarkably successful. lie
CONTINUES to introduce original feat
lures, such as dramatic readings OF
lPoe's Raven" and Longfellow's "Kinf
Robert of Sicily" both accompanied
by music.
The charm Of the man, in the littl,
talk which often precedes song
brings hearts straight out to him. His
success has been due more to intens'
thinking and untiring industry thar
TO native vocal ability. He is more
| than singer-he is an actor of won
derful dramatic power. No song is toe
simple to be glorified i'm his rendition
| none too difficult TO appear simple
The humblest, most untutored heare
/ enjoys as deeply as the musician, ant
his songs once heard live in the mem

This is probably the only opportun

ham, as it is very difficult to secur
an engagement with him. The Calu
met Woman's club has tried in tn
past to bring him to Calumet and eve
now the week of october the elevent
is the only time during the comm
season it could engage him.
Mr.. Bispham will not sing in Italian
