NEW YORK-Two dozen chorus girls and a lot of principals Tn The Merry Countess" company stepped Wcarily off a special train at the Grand Central Station recent. 1 ly. The train had brought them from Newport, where they put on ] their show for the Cornelius Wander bilt record breaking Oriental ball.
 "Oh, what night" moaned one girl

 | Rich Women Awkward at Dancing. Amid such exclamations the mem, bers of the company departed for their apartments for enough sleep to get themselves into shape to work the matinee and that night.
 Lorraine Bright and her sister Mildred, were found by a reporter mincing over grapefruit-which was about all they wanted for breakfast and they told all about it.
 You ought to see those million aire women dance," said Lorraine. 'I used to think couldn't dance" Mildred broke in; but after seeing those women get up in front of that crowd and stumble around in what they called dancing. I think I ought to have a medal"

 You know they put us all out in the yard under a tent after the show to eat our supper.

 his death is believed to he the cause of his rapid decline.
 Father DunCan's life is a beautiful example of that of a devout and sin. cere missionary. For years he taught his religion to the Indians in British Columbia Relieving in the most sim pie forms of worship. he dispensed
 with many of the ceremonies of the Episcopal faith. to which he belong
 ed Among other things he refused to administer wine with the sacra- ment to the Indian communcants believing that the Indian should nev- er know the taste of liquor. This ac- tion led 10 disagreements with his superiors. Seeking some spot where he might work out his theories. he applied to the United States govern ment for permission to bring his
 charges to this country, and was of fered the island in Southeastern

ALASKA 'SGOVERNOR WOULD FINISH
 WORK

Will the life work of William Dun
 can, missionary on the Island of Metlakatla. come to naught with his. death, or will that work be continued under different methods to be adopt ed by the government? This is a question brought before Alaska peo- pie by the visit to Metlakatla of Governor Walter +. Clark, and by the obvious fact that Father Duncan is rapidly failing in strength When the liner Spokane was at Metlakatla on her first northern cruise of the season, the rapid failing of the fla nous missionary was quite evident, and Governor Clark's visit to him was largely intended to pave the way to government supervision. of his work, which seems bound to foh low his death, although the mis- sionary does not desire it. ,cr,o, 2
 For many years Father Duncan has lived among his people yon the little island in the waters of South. eastern Alaska, teaching them the joys of right living and industrS

tons. the Republican senate misht make Hiram Johnson president Of the United States.
 In other words. if Wilson ran i.- 000,00O votes ahead in the general elections, and yet lacked two votes or even one vote. in the electoral college. and the evenly divided house failed to make a choice. the senate might make one or the other of tho minority candidates of a divided or defeated Republican party for vice. president the chief executive of the republic.
 If in turn the senate should by death or persuasion divide equally among three vicepresidential can didates (which is not impossible) then Philander Knox. of Pennsyl. vania, secretary of state. would be come ex-officio president of the United States.
 So that the field of possibilities in this wonderful presidential cam 1aien is wide open and fairly thrill ing with interest.
 The enthusiastic friends of the candidates may. of course. lau2h a. the speculations. but there are thou. sands on the watch tower who will find enough in the outlook to keep them awake to the end of the chap ter.
 Of course, my personal opinion is that Wilson's majority in the elec- toral college will be satisfying and complete.

FRED [. FULLER
 OUR NEW JUDGE

Frederick F. Fuller who is now Judge Fuller. of the Fourth Alaska division, is a member of the Nome i Bar association. and has been asso- Ciated with the camp from the very first. coming to Nome in 1900 and has remained ill the district eye since. in the capacity of United States commissioner or practition- CT. Although he has spent several winters of travel and study in the States and abroad. he has always called Nome his lome and place of business. keeping up his office in the city.
 MT, Fuller first came 10 Alaska in 1897. during the early rush to the klondike. After spending q year in SkagWay. Dyea and Juneau. also try- ing his luck with fickle Dame For tune by stampeding 10 the Atlm strike, he returned to New York and engaged in the practice of law in that city. From New York he came to Nome. in the year 1900, and has been closely associated with the camp since that date.
 The newly appointed judge was born at West Auburn. Pa. March 2, 1868. Graduated from Wesleyan university in 1890. receiving the de gree of A. B., attended the law de partment National University, D. C.. and in 1902 received from said insti- tuition the degree of l.. l.. B. The degree of l.. l.. NJ. NJ was conferred the following year.
 It is thought that the strong en- dorsement of the Nome Bar associa- tion had much to do toward facili- tating Fuller's recent confirmation by the senate judiciary committee. Judge Fuller will preside at Fair banks during the winter. or at such other cities in the Fourth district as will require term of court. Judge Peter D. Overfield will sit on the bench at Valdez. - Juneau Dispatch

 Bars English Language.
 During the earlier days of his mis- sionary service Father Duncan in the course of his work, taught his followers the English language. But with the idea of making communica. ton with the whites as difficult as possible, he soon discontinued that part of their education, using instead the native language and translating many books into their tongue.
 Father Duncan now is more than so years old. and has begun to real ize that he cannot toll much longer He desired to have the government take over his work and continue il as he had begun, offering. in that event, to deed over to the govern. ment all his holdings on the island including thriving cannery. But the government believes in teaching the English language to the natives of Alaska, and on that question could not agree with Father Duncan. ..llln In an effort to come to some agreement with the aged missionary Walter E. Clark, governor of Alaska, visited hi him, at his ,, lF home, but no agreement could be reached, Father Duncan insisting that, the 1teachmg of the English language to the na- tiyes would be of practical behe- fit to them but brt would bbe be productive

SAVES LIFE AT LAST MINUTE
 BY LEAP AT VICTORIAN

GREELEY, Colo. A jack rab, bit recently performed one of the most unusual acts in the history of Greeley when. as it was about to be run down by a street car in the city, it leaped high into the air over the head of the motorman land ing squarely at the feet of R. B. Edwards, the conductor. The car was being run by w. M. Darringer and the rabbit. apparently fascinated by the lights. first attempted to get out of the way, then ran directly toward it and made the leap. The animal was hurt but not fatally.
 This is not the first experience that local street car men have had with jack rabbits. as many of them get in front of the cars and race for blocks before they fall exhaust ed and are ground to death beneath the wheels.

FARGO WOMAN
Died SUDDENLY
MISS MARY FOSTER, WELL
KNOWN WOMAN PASSED AWAY
WITH LITTLE WARNING LAST
NIGHT-THE FUNERAL WILL
BE HELD MONDAY MORNING.

The funeral Of the late Miss Mary
Foster, who died suddenly last night
while crossing the south bridge to
Moorhead where she was going to
spend the evening with Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed Foster, will be held Monday morn
ing at 8 o'clock from st. Mary's
Roman Catholic cathedral. The re-
mains were taken at once to the Luger
undertaking parlors where they are
being prepared for burial by Under
taker Dougherty. q
. The deceased had been a resident of
Fargo for the past thirty years and
was about As years OF age at the time
of her death. During her residence
in the city she had made her home
with Mr.. and Mrs. P. H. Cummings
on Front street and had a wide circle
Of acquaintances who will be greatly
grieved to hear of her sudden death.
The late Miss Foster left the Cum

VOTERS OF MooRHEAD DECIDED
THEY WOULD NOT VOTE BONDS
PROPOSITION WAS TURNED
DOWN BY A VOTE OF 400 TO
1853.
VOTE in DETAIL.

BY a majority of nearly three to
one the people of Moorhead refused,
at a special election last night, to APP
prove the proposed issue Of school
bonds to the amount Of $500 to be
used in the erection Of a new high
present central building.
The vote does not mean that the
people of the city are opposed to school
improvements. They saw no necessity
to plunge the city into debt in that
manner. They believe there should be
a proper arrangement of the pupils at
tending the schoolr and a better ar
rangement Of grades in the several
ward buildings and the utilization of
rooms which are available for some of
the higher grades. This would relieve
the overcrowding of the central build
ing caused by children not being en-
rolled in the wards in which they live.
The school meeting was called to
order by w. D. Titus, president of the
board of education, and he presided
over the proceedings. Messrs. Fuller,
Sweningsen and Weller were elected
judges of election and A. H. Costain
and A. r. Charest were made clerks
AS soon as the organization was
completed there was a rush by the
voters to cast their ballots and before
1880 over 200 votes had been cast. The
! polls were kept open from z to 9 p. m,
The Civics club, an organization OF
women, had been working hard in the
effort to assemble the women voters
in the interest of bonds for al a matter
of fact the agitation began severa
months ago with a coterie Of ladies OF
the city who believed that Moorheao
ought to have better high school a
commodations.
Knowing that improvements must
be made to the central building the
board of education took steps last veal
to prepare for the emergency. A levy
was made and the board has a mes
egg in the building fund for such worl
as is decided upon this year and 1t l:
empowered to make another like lev!
so that the desired changes and i'm
provements to the central building viii
be made before the opening OF tn
schools in the fall.
Now it is proposed that an amend
ment be made to the charter which
will allow of the diversion of certain
monies so that the board of education
would be enabled to make a levy t
establish a fund without increasing tn
tax levy of the city.

.SLUMBERED IN
THEATRE ALL NIGHT
JOE HENRY ATTENDED GRAND
AND FELL ASLEEP - AWokE
AND WAS AFRAID TO MAKE
EXIT THINKING he WOULD BE
MISTAKEN FOR A BURGLAR.

Joe Henry pulled a good one on
himself last night when he went to
the Grand theatre to attend a per-
formance and fell asleep. While the
show was on full blast Joe fell into
Sunderland and when the curtain
fell at the end of the final perform
ance the ushers failed to arouse Joe
from his dreams.
The theatre was locked up and Joe
was left on the inside to pound his
ear. About 1 a, m. this morning Joe
woke up and finding himself all alone
he vas afraid to make an exit fear
ing that he would be mistaken for a
burglar, decided to remain on the in
side until morning. Shortly after z
this morning Henry decided to make
an exit through a side door, and did.
Upon his debut into open once more,
Joe went to the first policeman he
came along to which was Officer
Maloney and told him of his nights
experience. ,s~.
Officer Maloney took Henry over to
the station where he was detained
while George Fowler, proprietor OF
the theatre, was notified and came
down and made an investigation.
Finding everything in first class con-
dition and nothing disturbed, Fowler
telephoned the police to turn the man
loose. Sergeant Kramer asked Mr..
Fowler "if he wanted to charge Henry
anything for lodging" Mr.. Fowler
laughed and said "he didn't but if it
ever happened again he would in
crease the hotel mans rates consider
ably"
