One AFTERNOON, one NIGHT
Both Vaudeville and Pictures
On Program

Big crowds are expected to atten1
the two performances to be given for
the benefit of the Hospital this after
noon and tonight, the hour for the af-
ternoon performance having been fix
ed at o'clock and the night perform
ance at o'clock.
The program will be all that could
be desired, as it will include both
amateur vaudeville stunts of the most
amusing kind and pictures of the very
highest type. The vaudeville will oa
given by the young people of the city,
from among whom have been selected
several who are stars
The prices for these performances
will be 10 cents for children and 25
cents for adults. The amount of gem
uine amusement that will be afforded
to all who attend, however, will more
than compensate for the small outlay
required. The program arranged for
both performances is as follows.

Yesterday.


The machinery and equipment for
boring the artesian we'll for the
Windsor Hotel arrived yesterday, and
the contractors are preparing to make

how long it will be before flowing
stream is struck is subject of con-

Many years ago the City of Ameri-
Gus contracted for an artesian well in
the same vicinity, and there is a very
deep hole beneath the floor of Carl
Hawkins cafe, the attempt having re-
suited in failure, although several
small streams we're struck as the steel
drill descended. 1t is to be hoped thai
better success will be encountered il

SEVERE TESTS ARE REQUIRED
Seven Hundred Candidates for Aero
nautic Corps Must Undergo Rigid
Examinations In Paris.

Paris.-The 700 candidates for
Frances flying corps are to be sub
jected to very severe tests at the
physical examination ordered by the
ministry of war.
Among the requirements are per
feet vision, normal color sense, sharp
hearing and absolute soundness of the
organs of respiration and circulation.
1t is specified particularly that no
men who have to wear spectacles
shall do any flying, rule made the
more interesting because some OF the
worlds most notable airmen, past and
present, wore or now wear glasses.
The candidates are now learning to
fly at the government aerodromes,
some of them as pilots of dirigible bal
looms, but the majority as individual
aeroplane pilots. The test is to be
more severe for operators of aero
planes than for balloon aeronauts.

New Foot Rule,

Jenkins was an enterprising man.
He was a bootmaker by trade, and, in
order to advertise his goods, he had
a notice put up in his window to the
effect that during the next week every
purchaser of a pair OF boots would be
presented gratis with a fine foot rule,
Gust the very thing for me-" said
Brown, the carpenter. I'm needing
a new foot rule, and 1 can put the
boots by until these have are done"
So he entered the shop and bought
a pair, receiving with his change a
neat little envelope trif1e larger than
a visiting card.
Whats this far?" he asked.
THAT, sir, is the foot rule which we
are presenting gratis for this week,
sir"
Rather small, isn't It?"
"a pocket foot rule, sir; very
handy"
Brown walked home and opened the
envelope, when, to his chagrin, he
produced a small card on which was
printed:
Never Wear Tight Shoes"

Window of Residence In
Chicago.

Chicago Wilmette was visited by
Hercules porch climber" who en-
tered the home of Albert BerSbach,
pany, at $50 Washington street, Will
mette, and with apparently little eff
fort seized a small safe and threw 1t
from the window to the ground. The
strong-armed robber was accompanied
by medium-sized companion, who
was armed with a revolver to make up
for what he lacked in physical make
up. The latter stood guard at the
foot OF a stolen painters ladder, while
Hercules" entered the residence.
The robbers, one of whom was the
strongest and largest man that ever
visited this suburb, stole a ladder in
the neighborhood and entered the Sec
ond story of my residence at about
6:15 o'clock last evening"" said Mr..
Bersbach today. "Thes robbers are
evidently the same men who entered
my house less than two weeks ago
and 1tole jewelry valued at couple
of hundred dollars The strength of
the man who entered the house was
amazing. He took up the safe, which
weighs about $50 or 200 pounds, and
threw it to the lawn as If it were a
toy.
My son-in-law, David F. Anderson,
was at home with my wife and daugh-
ter, and they thought they heard some
one upstairs. Mr. Anderson started
upstairs, and on the steps assured
himself some one was in the house.
He went down to inform some neigh
bors, and as he left the house he was
covered by a revolver held by the man
on watch. who raised his overcoat to
his face to hide his features An au-

NOVELTY IN TABLE COVERS
Of Tapestry Edged With Metal Ga!Ioon
They Are an Effective Or
nament.

Extremely effective are the covers
for the table in the library or living
room made of tapestry, edged with
the metal galloon. The shops offer
the wool, or wool and silk tapestry, in
unusually handsome combinations OF
colors. Some tapestries have the met
al threads woven into the designs,
this being the case especially with the
changeable effects. The cover is cut
to fit the top exactly or may be made
In the form of long runner hanging
we'll over the ends or sides of the ia
BILE; or, in some cases, it is made
square, hanging down on all four
sides.
A banding of the galloon finishes the
edge and sometimes a second band,
paralleling this few inches from the
edge, is used.
A cover, of this sort is not only ar
tistic, but has remarkable wearing
qualities.
1t may be said in passing that short
lengths of the tapestry are often to be
found at much under regulation price.
Agents samples are especially well
adapted to covers of this sort.

Growth Of Flax Industry.

The flax industry Of this country
has reached a stage of considerable
Importance, but the product is not
made use of in the production of linen,
but in the manufacture of linseed oil.
1t is said that at the present time
about 100000 acres of land are Civ
en- up to flax growing. A problem of
the industry is to make some use OF
the straw, which now goes wholly to
waste, this amounting to about three
million tons. Experiments have been
made in the direction of papermaking
with the straw and this proposition
has met with some degree of success,
but the scheme is not commercially
practicable.

MONEY THAT REALLY TALKS
Speaking Bank Note Is Now Urged as
a Protection Against Coun-
terfeitlna.

The question of protection against
counterfeit bank notes is one which
is being discussed in England just at
present
A member of the Royal society re-
Gently showed the results of a discoV-
cry which he made, and by this means
he is able to initiate copper or steel
engraved bank notes so perfectly that
the president of a large bank was I'M
able to pick out the single genuine
bank note out of a lot of ten which
included nine of the kind reproduced
by the author This was intended to
show the error of the prevailing opin-
ion that bank notes cannot be imi-
tated
At the same time that this some
what disconcerting news comes out
new remedy against counterfeit notes
is proposed, this being the speaking
bank note, and should system of the
kind be adopted the note will not only
concern the eye, but will assert its
genuiness in a loud and ineligible
voice should it be placed in a phono-
graph.
In fact the note carries a given
phrase which is inscribed on the edge
just as on a phonograph cylinder, US
ing specially prepared paper for this
purpose. ANY kind of phrase can
naturally be used, as it is designed
simply to have a check upon the quail
ity of the bank note by the use Of
the voice.
All that is needed is to put the note
into a properly designed photograph,
when it will speak for itself, accord
ing to the present idea, while a coun-
terfeit remains silent. The method
is certainly an original one, but 1t
would not seem a very hard matter to
counterfeit the photograph record as
we'll as the note itself.-Scientitic
American.
