KNIFEs PLUM PUDDING.
Lancet Says II Contains No Edible
Drupaceous Fruit.

The current number of the Lancet
prints a seasonable piece about plum
pudding, pointing out that this ncces-
sary item of the Christmas dinner is
not really composed. as its name sug-
gests. of edible drupaceous fruit from
trees of the genus prunus.'
+" What is plum pudding?" the
Lancet asks, and goes on:
"'rhe obvious answer would appear to
be pudding, made I'm part at any rate
of plums; yet what is generally called
a plum pudding, the Christmas pud-
ding. never contains plums. III we ac-
|cept the definition of a plum that II is
the edible drupaceous fruit of any one
of various trees of the genus prunus.
As every one knows. the fruits used In
Christmas pudding are generally raisins
and currants both of which are dried
grapes. There are several buildings In
the cookery books containing raisins
which. are called by various fancy
names, but never plum pudding there
Is also a pudding, reminiscent of school
days. containing crrrants which is cali
terms, according to the temper of the
speaker.
I'VE should not expect these pud-
dings to be called plum buildings, and
they never are: but when the currants
and raisins appear in the Christmas
pudding the product is called a plum
pudding. With no logic it is agreed to
accept the word plum as applicable to
raisins or currants when they happen
to be in Christmas pudding.
IF plum jam were asked for and q
grape conserve were wilfullv substi-
tuted we should expect such a bargain
to be regarded as misdemeanor within
the meaning of the food and drugs
acts. but whether that should be the
case when plum pudding is asked for
and pudding without plums (strictly
speaking) Is rendered is not so clear.
II would no doubt be argued, in case
any one should attempt to interfere
with the sale of Christmas puddings,
that the customer was supplied with
exactly what he expected to get; that
is, plum pudding without any phms."

House Democrats Will Again Caucus and Probably Instruct For
 One Battleship.

Washington, Aug. 1.-House Dem ocrats will caucus on the battleships for the fourth time next Tuesday and 2 determined effort will be made to reach a decision on two battleships or one hattleship. The no-battleship program has been abandoned. The call for the big caucus was rushed 10 prevent Chairman Badgett of the House Committee on Naval Affairs from bringing up the conference re- port on naval bill, which carries the Senate amendment for the or ganiZation of two battleships. Those opposing the two battleships feared that if direct vote was had on this amendment today it would carry. Their hope is to defeat the two bat tleships in a new caucus and to in struct Democratic members for one bat;leship.

Three Boys Fhown From Buggy While Trying To Avert C0I;s- sion With Fast Running
 Automobile.

The careless driving of an auto ist lass night nearly resulted in in- jury 10 four young boys in a buggy when they were forced to drive up on the sidewalk at Seventeenth ave- nue and Main street to avoid a col lis'on. Three cf the boys were thrown out and received slishS bruises. Paul Byrd. Charles Bond, Glen Atkinsen and John Wilcox were the occupants of the vehicle. They were en roue to young Byrd's home several miles south Of the city and had just turned the corner at Seven tsenth avenue when the automobile came rushing upon them. The horse was swerved toward the sidewalk on the right h3nd side cf the street and the machine barely m ssed the buggy as it went by, but the hcTse became heightened and went upon the side walk. The buggy eareened tow3rd the street throwing three of the oc- cupants cut With minor injuries. Af- ter findire that none Were seriously injured the young fellows continued their journey.

REAL REASON WHY
 TIE 0RPHE0 IS DARK
EhkS ENLARGEMENT FINANCED DEAL AND THEATREGOERS
 RESPOND iIRERtLLY
Contract Said To Have Been Signpd With t Rental Consideration
 Involved.

While the management of the orpheo Theatre, which closed last Saturday night until September I6,
 nnounced that the popular piay- house would be dark during that time in order to admit of extensive remodeling, including arrangements for larger seating capacity and enlargement of the stage, it was learned last night from good author ity that the production of vaudeville at that theatre ceased to comply With the signing of contract be- tween T. A. H II, manager and lessee of the Elks Theatre, and the packers Of the Main street house, fer the pur- pose of permitting the Elks theatre to continue operatiohs and to be the only place of amusement in the city.
 The rent expenses of the Ofpheo during the several weeks it will be closed. it is said was the considera t'on by which the contract was sign ed.
 It was stated some time ago that the Orpheo would be enlarged and remcdeled but as the playhouse was turning away crowds every night and it was obvious that the manage ment was cleaning up an amount in excess Of expenses, the announce ment of the close down came as a general surprise.
 On the other hand the Elks did co- seem to be enjoying the patron- age necessary for the continuance of its operation through the vaudeville season F,v dently Mr. Hill figured that, as he hal the house leased for certain psricd and would have to continued to pay rsGt on it, it. would be a good move to close up tie com peting place if possible, even if an amount had to be paid as rental for the short time it would be closed, thereby getting all the patronage which would pay the expenses of the two houses and prof.i besides.
 That MT. Hills plan materialiZed may be judged at a lock over the audiences tha this week have been greeting the vaudeville artists at each performance. The regular sea- son of the Elks vii open in the nei@hborhood of September Is and, of course the vaudeville will give way to the regular book ngs of the big companies set out Of New York and ether theatrical centers and will not be affected by tAe vaudeville at he OrOhe0
