MARIE DRESSLER
 IS ONE SCREAM

Marie Dress1er, presented by Lew Field in '"Tillies Nightmare, kept a fair sized and fashionable audience at the Park Theatre, last evening, in roars of laughter. The play had a phenomenal run in New York and is one of the biggest hits of the career of the versatile actress. It was con- fidently believed she would play to a crowded theatre last evening, and it is too bad to record that the attend anuce was nowhere near what it ought to have been.
 The production is we'll described as a mixture of mirth and melody-more mirth than melody, however, for the voices of some of the principals were noticeably weak last evening and therefore there was some disappoint- ment on that score.
 However, Miss Dressler's work more than made up for what was lacking in the other principals, and the per formance proved on the whole most satisfactory.
 Perhaps the most amusing feature of the play was the excellent work of Miss Dressler in the scene aboard the boat when she gave a most realistic impersonatfon of a large woman trou- bled with sea sickness. Her antics following her introduction to a bot tie of wealthy water fairly convulsed her auditors

tain, you can't do that. Don't you see you are my prisoner and that l
 must ask you to surrender at once the island and all your forces?'
 The major argues earnestly that he is a victim of deceit and that he has been induced to come on board by
 false pretenses. Of course the deceit and false pretenses have not been planned, prepared and perpetrated by an abandoned and malignant heart, the less deceived and fooled he has
 been and of that fact no caballero, that is no worthy caballero such as was the captain, might, could, would
 or should advantage take. That word 'caballero'' did the business. The major, was permitted to depart with a warming that surrender must be made by five o'clock P. M. of that
 day or the island would be surround ed by one of the transports, besieged,
 bombarded, undermined, sunk, car ried by assault, and otherwise wasted, demolished, and destroyed with ali that was in, around, over or under it.
 Would you believe it-that little old major said he'd think it over and left the ship with the full intention of putting up a fight? And from that intention not a budge did he budge until the pleadings of his doctor that he give chance for life to a very ailing woman touched his tough old Spanish heart and persuaded him that he might yield with honor to a force which, excluding the cruiser, was more than forty times his own
 So, at five o'clock, just as the boats were putting off from the transports to make a landing, the major, as Gov ernor of the Marianas, representative at Guam of Her Majesty the Queen Regent, Commaander-in-Chi of all the forces, Captain of the Port. Collector of Customs and sundry otn- CT things, surrendered at discretion and reported on board the Charleston with an army corps of sixty men. Guam was captured, and when the circumstances of it's taking became known all the world except the poor major laughed long and loud. To him what had occurred was a serious matter which was not at all provoca- tive of mirth. Contrary to the mill tary traditions of Spain and the rules, regulations, and ordinances prescribed he had surrendered without resist ance and awaiting his action in that behalf was a court-martial with con sequent dismissal from the service and possibly something more. To him the situation was devoid of humor and indeed we'll might it cease to be funny to all who have come to know that the taking of Guam ruined the career of a valiant Spaniard who died an exile rather than face the disgrace of condemnation in his na- tive land."-Sunset Magazine

 The result is that at the end of one thousand years continuous dis charge of Gold Eagles from 1900 millions of quick-firing guns at the rate of one thousand Gold Eagles per minute from each gun, only an in finitesimal fraction of the money would have thus been got rid of The amount to be thus drawn upon being the s29,618 followed by thirty-four 0's this amount being the accumu- lated result of One Cent invested in Anno Domini 1 at per centum com pound interest until the end of the year 1910.

TWO WILEYISMS.

In the Department circles in Wash ington says MT. Arthur Wallace Dunn in the Worlds Work. for November Dr. Wiley is known as a man who is good company and who says things worth repea ting.
 Soon after the Presidents order was issued to the effect that no in- formation was to be given a Congress man by. any ennploye of the Govern ment and only heads of the depart ments could furnish information. Dr. Wiley met a member of Congress.
 Good morning, Doctor; how are you this morning ?' was the greeting.
 ssI can't tell .you,' promptly re- sponded the Doctor; you'll have to ask the Secretary"
 One of the best examples of his quickness of repartee is the exclusive property of the women of the Bureau of Chemistry.
 They all call him '"The Big Chief '' Once a petite young woman of the Bureau met the Doctor as he was passing along the corridor to his of- flee.
 Good morning, Big Chief" she said.
 Good morning, Little Mischief retorted the Doctor.

inarily stern marshal will giggle, ''but you see I have none that are real good. Of course no picture of me ever can be good, can it, Jim?' And Jim the weu-disciplined husband, will wet his lips in embarrassment and stam- n1er out that any picture is good, so long as Mrs. Osborn is the subject. Mir. Osborn, like the husband of Mrs. Hiiton. is. q meek man with but one apparent purpose in life-to tell all visitors in the town what part his wife is playing in history.
 7e'Sfie's a brave woman, she is,'' he whispered timidIy the other day in the front room of his homemade cot tage. You jes' roughter seen her and the other two raid the card game 'th other Sunday. Gee, they rested all five O the men, and they were fined, itoo.'
 r. 4 feature of the townspeople is the swagger of every individual. Although there is bitter ennity between the two factions vet, each one seems to feel that the whole world has it's eyes on him. A newspaper man who was a visitor in the village recently was met at the depot the morning of his leav- ing. He had six photographs. Here S my pitcher,' each one would whisper with a suspicious glare at, the other five. ''I started all tn trouble. Can have it fer a dollar, jest what it cost me ter have it taken
 But the pictures are being sold, just the same Mrs Wilson, for instance, has had a cut of herself run in more than half dozen Continental dailies, and Mrs. Osborn has sold a number of the photographs she has had taken, showing her uniform with the star, club, and helmet.
 What Hunnewell will do when the excitement has ceased is puzzling. Si:GE Eenly it has awakened from 30 years sleep. When it sleeps again if that time ever comes the story of the happenings of 1911 will be worth recounting to the children.

THE GREAT WHITE PLAGUE.
An Educational Campaign Soon to be
Started in its Behalf.

DR.. James kindly furnished MS the
following synopsis of the convention
held in Denver.
The meeting of the National Associa-
tion for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis, in Denver last week,
proved to be one Of the most, If not the
most successful in its history.
The headquarters for the meeting was
at the Brown Palace Hotel. DR.. VIM.
III. Welch of Baltimore, the President,
was in the chair. The meeting opened
with very interesting address by the
President, reviewing the progress made
in the past year by the Association in
its educational campaign for the exter-
mination of the great White Plague.
Truly, remarkable progress was made
during this period.
1t was shown by the Secretary's re-
port that in many of the large eastern
cities where progressive measures were
taken some years ago to prevent the
spread of tuberculosis, very satisfact-
ory lowering of the death rate for this
disease, has resulted. This is most en-
couraging, considering the comparative
ly short time since the campaign was
originated.
The different sections of the Associa-
tion held separate meetings during the
convention. Every phase of the work
was thoroughly covered by those who
are making this their life work. Men
and women from coast to coast were
present to exchange views on the differ
ent aspects of the work.
DIR. II. ]. James Supt. State Sanato-
rum represented South Dakota at this
While there he interviewed
DR.. Livingston Farrand, executive sec
retary, regarding sending the Associa-
TONS travelling exhibit through South
Dakota. As result DR.. Farrand sent
the director of the travelling exhibit, Mr..
d. L. Cooper, to look over the ground.
MIR. Cooper spent Sunday and Monday
at the Sanatorium, leaving Tuesday
morning for Lead. While nothing def
mite can be announced, 1t is expected
that an educational campaign will be
started in the early fall, touching the
larger cities of the State. Mr.. Cooper
hopes to organize committees in Lead,
Pierre, Aberdeen, Watertown and Sioux
Falls, during the present trip, so that no
time may be lost in the fall when the
exhibit is ready to begin the campaign.
1t is to be hoped that generous support
will be given this work in all these
cities, as there is no other work more
important from the standpoint Of the
public health.

The feature of the tin market last
week was the collapsing on Friday of
the long corner which has 80 long been
worked by the foreign syndicate. The
London market showed a net decline for
the week of G34 for spot, while futures
declined only Gl, thus making the diff.
ference between spot and futures only
5s, which is more of normal level. The
New York market during the same
period declined &c a pound. AS a result
of these developments abroad at the
close of the week the market there was
unsettled and there was disposition on
IS tp part of consumers to await further
developments before taking on additional
supplies Spot tin was available at the
close at 433@44c, but the principal in
tereSt was in later options, Sci tember
selling at 4lc. The total arrivals so far
this month have amounted to ,0iS tons
nd the total amount afloat is ,O34 tons.
