At the Majestic,


The Majestic has been increasing
in popularity ever since arrange
ments were made to receive book
ings from the Interstate Amusement
company, which supplies all the big
Majestic circuits with acts. The bill
for the first part of this week Is un-
usually strong. It contains little
comedy but good music Is STRONGLY
featured. The performance opens
with a sensational act by the Daring
Darts in which they pull off few
aerial stunts. While standing on a
ladder balanced in midafr they give
an exhibition in marksman3hip that
Is little short OF marvellous. With the
ladder vibrating in the air one OF the
team breaks poker chips, cracks
glass balls. snuffs out candle and
shoots the ashes off the tip OF ci-
gar while these objects are held in
the hand by the other. Victor & Ger
rad have an artistic singing sketch
in which they introduce bright vein
OF comedy. The Lillian Sisters are
musical prodigies. With voice, vio.I
lin and piano they give an exhibit
tion that takes with scream.

year 1910 something over $57 200. OF this
amount $4,000 and more must be raised by special

Rone's Queer School

A school OF entirely novel type has recently
been started at Rome, sage a writer in the Wide
World magazine. and has already given very good
results. This "open-air" academy differs from the
German Open-ar schools nasmuch as 1t is essentially
travelling whereas the school at CharlottenbuTg for
instance, is composed OF number of pavlOns. The
combined satchel and desk carried by the pupil only
weighs ten pounds and therefore fatigue is caused
through carrying this the back. The pupils, to-
gether with their master. wander from part
OF the outlying country districts OF Rome to another
The desk is placed the ground the blackboard is
fixed up and the lesson begins. 1t is practical
and the pupils able to do their lessons in any
place, they carry with them all that is required.
It is held in Rome that this form of instruction will
do much toward doing away with the large number
OF iIterate persons in the vicinity.

WHEAT SUPPLIES.

In an editorial on the future wheat
supplies The Minneapolis Tribune had
the following:
Theory and fact are about evenly
divided as influences in the wheat
market. The believer in an ultimate
shortage in supplies before the next
crop is overwhelmed by the excessive
total Of the immediate visible stocks.
The trader who points to the tremen-
dous accumulation in the terminal
elevators as to much OF a weight on
the market is. nevertheless, fearful
that the adjustment between supply
and demand before next harvest will
be uncoInfortably close.
1t is one of the peculiar develop
ments of the present crop season that
speculation, whose special function II
Is to anticipate scarcity or plethora.
Is rather a negative factor In the
wheat pit. The strength in the mar
ket, in spite of the heavy elevator
stocks, comes from the cash division
rejecting the broad, active buying
power of millers who are, evidently
impressed with the theory of a year.
end shortage and are conserving the
raw material now for future use.
While the volume of -four business
Is fair, 1t Is by no means equal to the
purchases of wheat by the mills. The
manufacturers are taking advantage of
the present heavy run to pick the ar
rivals with an eye to its milling value
and their later requirements when
consumption will have to draw on the
visible supply for its needs. This an
tieipation, Of course, is putting into
store much wheat that is more usually
Oppressive than actual, as it will GO
directly into -four and not come into
the pit again on some future deliv-
cry.
Conditions financial and otherwise
have tended to force marketing Of
grain from the country to a most lib
eral degree yet the price trend has
been, on the whole, on an ascending
scale since the movement began. The
sharp declines have been caused by
special and temporary developments.
The market has, so far, come back
strong.
The present unsettlement marks
the approach of December delivery.
resulting from the shifting of COM
mitments to the May future.
