DO CALIFORNIA WOMEN TAKE INTEREST
IN POLITICS? WELL. INDEED THEY DOT

San Francisco, Sept. 18.-If there is
anyone anywhere who imagines that
California women are not taking an
interest in politics. it is time for such
a person to wake up. They are taking
a very decided interest, as the num-
erous womens political clubs give tes-
timony. They have entered into the
present campaign with zeal; their
votes at the fall election will be al
most as numerous as those of the
men.
They won the suffrage only after a
hard uphill fight. Perhaps this is the
reason that it is an alteration to them

They talk of it with reverence.

women.

FLY SWAPPING. CONTINUES; DEAD
 ARE PIl|hG UP
Busy Boys Filling Boxes in Effort to Land Prize; More'n' Million Been
 Gathered

From the number of boxes of flies that were left at Bali and Bledsoe' s pharmacy yesterdav it is thought that the half million mark was passed by the various contestants although there was no count made yesterday since professional matters occupied the time of Dr. Miner He stated that he would make the count today and the total with the standing of contestants will ke published Sunday morning.
 Up to two o'clock yesterday after. noon there were received about half as any boxes of flies that had been swatted or otherwise killed as had been previously turned in. It was eyi dent the average was being well kept up and that the total of fly mortality was mounting fast It was roughly estimated that the half million mark had been passed and the early reports from the contestants this morning should still further swell the number.
 On every business street in Bisbee can be seen boys busily engaged in swatting the flies and picking up the dead which are carefully placed in boxes. Interest among< the young folk is steadily on the increase and the count today will show some great increase in figures. The crusaders are working industriously and there are apt to be some changes among the leaders who are working consistently for the prizes that have been offered by the health committee. Several of them are turning in daily reports and doing it consistently in the same Or larger numbers each day.
 Whether any have yet taken the sug- gestion of using home made fly traps or formaldehyde has not been ascer. tained, but if they have not yet they will be found doing so later for these methods are two of the best that are known. One youngster was noticed yesterday close to a store entrance where a draft drove the flies in and he was swatting steadily and insistently As a result in a short time he had a box filled. He obtained another box and when last seen was still keeping up the swatting and the second box was filling rapidly.
 Several boys stated that they were using traps and poisoned paper at home and that this added to their daily harvest. As stated tomorrow 5 tally should be over half a million and the Tuesday morning standing should foct up close to the million mark.
 Not the least good that is being ac. comrlished is the awakening or the grownfOik to an antipathy against the hOusefly and its dangerous filth through the efforts of the children and when this feeling is once aroused the final eXtermination of the pest is approaching. Health authorities are highly pleased with the early results of this crusade and declare that aI- ready the results have well waranted the efforts that have been made.

HE ORLEANS COACH
An Unusually Strong and Artistic Feature Subject by the Pathe Company
 in Three Reels

A period play, if we'll done in nov ing pictures. is one of the most ac- ceptable of any There are not many period plays that canbe considered ab- solutely correct in all detail. It is a pleasure to come across a faultless period picture. and The Orelans Coach" is surely one of these. We have called it a play. Perhaps that is not exactly the best way to style it. The subject matter is neither a play nor history, but is taken from a wellknown episode in the judicial annals Of France during the year l795. It is a pictured incident of a great legal mistake, the story of which has been told in words many many times. and thousands of French men and women have dropped a tear at the thought of the sad fate of an honorable man who wied on the gull lotine. not for any crime he had com mitted. but because he looked like the man who did.
 When one is aware that the inei- dents depicted really occurred, the picture has an influence over one that really seems like looking back into The past a hundred years. It is not difficult for anyone to imagine that he has been transported back for that space of time Without knowing the story to be true. it would per haps be equally as gripping.
 The Royal Theater has secured this great masterpiece for its many patrons for Sunday and Monday, Aug ust il and 12. and notwithstanding the extra heavy expense for this pro duction, the price of admission will be the same asusual.
 It is indeed gratifying to note that the Royal is securing these high class productions, which are highly educational as well as interesting, and should receive the hearty approval and financial support of the residents Of this district; especially of those who appreciate the better class Of photoplays.
