Shubert gave 1t a pretentious produce
ton and New York theatregoers liked
the play SO well that it remained o
broadway for six months. Miss Gum
ming is surrounded By an excellent
cast, and The Balkan Princess Is ex-
pected to prove a or the most att.
tractive OF the seasons offerings.
Paul Rubens is the composer Of the
score and two English writer's, Fred
erick Lonsdale and Frank Curzon, are
responsible for the book. The story
Of The Balkan Princess is founded,
upon a pretty romance and this story
is set to music Of the lifting, lasting
sort which made all London whistle
and sing It for months.

back to the house again, and it is
therefore certain that there will be a
long fight over the bill and the results
will not be known until near the time
for the adjournment Of congress.
With the requirement that it shall
not go into effect until 1919, the Pep
per bill for militia pay will shortly be
reported favorably by the house COM
mittee on military affairs. Even If the
bill should go into effect upon it's
passage, it is claimed the regulations
could not be formulated for the legisla-
ton much before that time, and this
provision will not result in a very long
postponement of the time when mill
tiamen would receive pay. Represen-
tative Pepper, the author of the meas
ure, has accomplished nothing much
less than wonders in securing an agree
ment for the reporting out of the bin
at this session. Perhaps without an
exception the leaders Of the demo-
cratic party majority were opposed to
a consideration Of the bill at this ses-
sion. It's passage by this congress is
contrary to the caucus agreement of
economy. The entire democratic or
ganization was united in an effort to
smother the militia pay bill in the
committee, and great pressure was
brought to bear upon each member Of
the committee to defer action on the
measure. But at no time was Mr.. Pep
per discouraged by these conditions.
AS soon as Mr.. Pepper has written his
report it is understood that the bill
will be reported out of the committee.
It's passage by the house is assured
as more than enough members are al
ready pledged to vote for the bill.
In his fight Mr.. Pepper has had
the support of the general staff and
the division OF militia affairs.

The manual of guard duty and man

being revised, are not expected to be

months, and it will be still later be-
fore they are bound and ready for is

BY a tentative agreement, reached
in the military affairs committee Of
the house on Jan. 18, the Hay bill will
be reported out with the following i'm
portant provisions: A five-year term
of enlistment will be provided; the de-
tail system will be preserved and will
be extended to include bureau chiefs
of the war department by providing for
their return to their former positions
upon the expiration of their -four year
details; permanent staff officers must
be detailed to the general staff IN the
same terms as line officers; the quar-
termaster's commissary, and pay de-
-partments are consolidated, creating
what is to be known as a supply de-
partment; the provision for the abol-
ishment Of foreign pay for officers
and men has also been approved by
the committee.
On a non-partisan vote the prospect
for the passage of the bill, even in
its compromised form, is not very
bright. Should the bin pass the house
attached to the appropriation bill, a
fight wfn be opened UP on 1t, both in
the senate committee and On the floor
of the senate. Arrangements have al
ready been made for an extensive hear

hit here several weeks ago.

been an unequalled success Mr.. Web
ster is indeed fortunate to secure The
booking of this act and Fargoans
should not miss the opportunity of see

Apollo troupe, refined gyInnasts, is an
other headliner act that will be offered
next week. Never before a ny

their skill, endurance and unrivaIed
strength has been the talk of the conti-

pealed to a lover of beauty in animate
and inanimate nature as Sir Walter,
and it must have been far indeed from
his thoughts TO engender superstition

The opal Is also associated with mis-

and 1t is a curious fact that the Jap

Lucky indeed did that Roman esteem
himself who was the owner Of an opal
that filed his neighbor with envy.
In the middle ages there were not
wanting men who shared the Romans
weakness, for opals did not lose their
popularity as time went on. Each cen-
fury brought its w joys and sor-
rows, luck and luck, to the human race,
and each age brought its fashions in
jewe1ry as in clothing, but the opal
remained high In favor and entered
largely into the adornment of both
sexes. It's tranquility was well known.
but this was regarded not as a fall
ing so much as a special claim on the
care OF all who handled it.
Alone among jewels the opal defies
tho ingenuity of the inaitator. 1t owes
its charm not so much to it's own In
trinsic merits, as to the splendor N
the rays Of lights that it reflects. 1t
is the chameleon of stones. PIiny

appearance as a performer when she
was but 4 years old. Coming to Ameri-
ca ten years g with her parents, she
appeared with various c%ircuses, includ-
ing the Forepaugh-Sells and the Ring
ling Brothers shows. With other
members of her family she was en-
gagged by Frederic Thompson to work
in the circus scene of Polly of the Cir
Gus when it was first produced in New
York.
Always fascinated by the stage. she
stood nightly in the wings watching
Miss Taliaferro's performance and

she had the full text at her tongues
command, She really lived Polly and
dreamed Polly. Miss Taliaferro OBJ
served the interest she manifested and,
being personally interested in the lit
tie girl. she took her under her wing
and really taught her the first rudi-

ago an emergency arose through the
illness of the star, Miss st. Leon stepped
into the breach, playing the part with
surprising excellence, and as a result
is now realizing her ambition to be-

SUGGESTIONS OF THE OPAL

Providence Tribune: The jewel of
october is the opal. The Greeks be-
lieved it possessed the power of be-
slowing second sight under it's infu-
ence, provided they did not use the
power for selfish ends. BY its misuse
they became unlucky in love, disap-
pointment and misfortune logging
their footsteps.
The theory was started that for oc-
cult reasons the opal was unlucky or
that 1t brought i'll luck TO its possessor,
and succeeding generations have in
herited the distrust that was thus
aroused.
The idea that opals were nnlucky
is thought by many to be on account
