THE PASSING PARADE. !"

The second editisn of the Gordon.
North productions made its entry into
the Gayety Theatre, in Washington
amid a blaze OF color and snappy
music. All the effects were well
worked up. and the scenery was lar
above that of an average buresque
show This Passing Show" is mus
ical comedy In two acts. Just what
the plot is would be hard to tell, but
like all shows OF this kind, it makes no
difference.
James Rowland, as Timothy O'Flah'
ertv. is comedian who has way
about him that is catching. His able
companion, Charles Lane. as Ludwig
Never, is also good, and between tue
two they make pleasant evening pass
quickly. May Belmont carried the
burden OF the song numbers on her
shoulders, and she certainly carried a
greater part OF the audience away with
her, especially in her "Ras,ime Vic.
lin" number. Helen Ely is a very
pretty miss, with splendid voice. The
rest OF the cast, including Lew Dunbar,
Frank Garfield, Carrie Behr, and Libby
Blondel, was excellent.
The chorus worked very hard and
had numerous changes. 1t vas noted
with pleasure that some OF the ladies
had very good voices, somewhat start
ling in burlesque show, but IN this
case true.

Lee May BE Retained.

Lynchburg. Va. Oct. 31.-John L
Lee, criminal attorney, left at mid
night for New York City, from where
he goes to Boston. and, it is presumed
that this means that he will be coun'
sci for the defense in the case against
R. Clarence Richeson, held for the
murder of Miss Avis Linnell. When
seen tonight Mr.. Lee admitted he was
going to Boston, and further than tc
say he had not yet been retained by
the defense, he would not talk for
publication. T. V. Richeson, father
of the accused minister, was in Lynch
burg this afternoon, and it is known
he is very DESTROYS of having Mr.. Lee
represent his son at the trial. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Lee has gone TO
Boston for a conference with other
counsel. but it is not yet known
whether he will allow himself to be
retained or not.

Turkeys Religion.

What is the religion OF Turkey? Is
it older than ours? c. Fl.
Turkey ranks as the chief country
of Islamism or Mohammedanism, al
though the British empire has a
greater number OF Alohammedans.
The latest estimate places the world S
! followers of Christianity at All, 0S0,-
1jS, and those Of Alohammedanism
at 17G.S34,372. AIohamnled (570-
632), the founder of Islamism was
born in Mecca, Arabia. from whence
he was forced to flee to Medina From
this flight, or hejira, the Mohammed-
an era is reckoned. The Koran, or
sacred book OF Islam, is said TO have
been communicated by the angel Ga
briel with the sound of bells, but
there is no doubt that it is drawn
from Jewish and Christian sources
The la suras, Or chapters, purport
to be the addresses delivered by Mo
manned at Mecca and Medina. They
proclaim Mohammed TO be the apos-
tie OF God, deny the divinity but ack
nowledge the miracles OF Christ:
sanction polygamy. but prohibit
thieying, Gsury, fraud, false witness,
strong drink and gambling. The
follower Of Islam is charged with
these five duties: To bear witness
that there is but one God, to recito
daily prayers, to give the appointed
and legal aims. to observe the RAM
adam Ca months fast. and to make

SET BACK FOR VIRGINIA
Supreme Court Declines to Put
Pressure Upon West Virginia
in Debt Case

Washington, Oct. 30.-Thc supreme
court OF the United States today de-
clined to grant the request OF the
commonwealth of Virginin to speed
the cause" in the commonwealth s
suit against West Virginia, to compel
it to pay portion of the ante-bellum
debt Of Virginia.
Last March the court arrived at the
conclusion that West Virginia's share
of the $33, 100000 Virginia's debt in
the sixties was S7,1S2,000. At that
time it was said that many figures must
be ascertained or agreed upon before
final decree was entered, particularly
in regard to interest; and, with the
suggestion that great states nave a
temper superior to that of private
litigants," besought a conference be-
tween the states to settle the matter.
The court today, speakable through
Justice Holmes, found that West Vlr
GINA as a state had not yet shown thai
it was not proceeding with a deliber
ate speed"

STATE GROWING RICH.
Auditor Donohoe'S Annual Report
Shows S250,0G0 Over Esti-
mate.

Richmond, Va. Oct. 31.--The an.
nual report OF the state auditor is now
being gotten ready for the printer, de-
layed final figures from several cities
and counties having lately come to
hand.
The report will show that the state
has received this year close on to a
quarter of million dollars more than
the estimated revenues Of the fiscal Of
fcers last year, and this money is now
in hand, so that obligations are being
met promptly and Sithout embarrass-
ment.
Ca jtain S. R. Donohoc, the auditor,
has been right after the states revenue
officers, and they have been called on
to make settlements at once-almost
as fast as the money has to them.
He has not made many friends during
his incumbency OF the ofiice-that is
among the treasurers and others who
haudle the states money-but he has
managed to get the money into the
states till at time it vas badly
needed.
There is no encouragement fol

dollars.

QUERIES AND ANSWERS.
When did the Four-Mlle Run ac
cident occur?
Railway.

The Four-Nlile Run disaster was
doubtless the most serious railroad
accident that ever occurred in the VIC
unity of Alexandria. Six or seven
men were killed and number more
or less injured. Ii was Il head-on col
lision between a fast passenger train
on the Southern Railway and south
bound freight Of the Washington
Southern Road. The trains met at
the northern entrance to a tunnel
(under the Alexandria canaD. which
was at Four-Alile Run in those days
The cars Of the freight train, some OF
which were oil tanks, took fire and
burned all night. The Pullman cars
attached to the passenger train were
pushed back and saved from destruc-
ton. The accident occurred on
Thursday night, February 10, 1885.
The weather was extremely cold at
the time.

Fats and Leans to be Matched
Again.
Championship Game to be
Played on Morning
of the Fourth.

Interest is at fever heat over
the game of base ball to be
played on the grounds in this
city on the morning of the 4th
between the Fats and the Leans.
The teams as they went into the
game were very evenly matched
and the fans of the city are
anxious to see them play another
game. The Friday evening game
was to have gone five innings but
the score being tie at the end
of the 9Th another inning had to
be played in which the Leans
succeeded in running in the
winning score. After the game
Manager Gibson of the Fats
stated that his team were not
might owls" and were therefore
unable to keep there eyes on the
ball after it became so dark
that it was almost necessary to
light matches to find the ball,
but that if the game was played
in daylight that it could have been
easily won by his chosen men.
therefore he challenged the
Leans to a return match and the
same has been accepted.
Manager Olson on the other
hand believes that he has the
better team and is anxious to
have the opportunity to play an
other match.
Those who witnessed the game
Friday evening had more fun
than if they had been at a
Clutch Picincn and despite the
chilly weather a large crowd
turned out. The plays by both
sides were interesting, and
despite some rather peculiar
plays, the game was a good one.
Both teams will be strengthened
up for the next game to be
played. The proceeds of the
contests go to the City Improve
ment League.

Eae Wa.te fspE lsi1 Ektsssssi is

Present Indications are that the
fire losses in the United States and
Canada for 1911 will exceed $3.50,
900, 900. The figures for the first
four months of the year show to-
tai of $S7. 577. 900, as compared with
$67 ,222, 100 during the same period
last year. The losses for 1910 were
1894 406. $50, and If the presen
ratio OF increase continues through
out the ear. the 1911 losses may
approach $500. 900. 900. This will
exceed any year in the history of
the country except those of San
Francisco aed Baltimore conhagra-
tons.
Government officials, underwent
ers and firemen agree that the ma
iority of these fires are due to care
lessness and are easily preventable.
ALI of the recent fires, which have
attracted public attention because
Of the heavy loss of life with which
they were accompanied, were due to
the carelessness and Indifference of
the owners, occupan is. or municipal
authorities. The country cannot go
on indefinitely burning up hundreds
of millions each year, merely for
lack of proper individual and munich
pal responsibility, New York has
been spending $40, 1000, 900 year for
fire extinguishment and only $40, 900
for fire prevention. The. recent
shfrt-waist factory fire aroused the
public and the authorities, and fire
prevention is to be made much more
prominent hereafter. The most i'm
portant consideration is the develop
ment OF sense OF personal respon-
sibility on the part of property own
ers for the excessive fire waste,
which is draining the resources of
the country and weakening its in
surance capital. A score of fire in
surance companies have retired
from the field already this year, be-
cause of the heavy losses last year
and the unfavorable outlook, two of
the number being companies over a
hundred years old.
