.ST. PAUL $ HOLDING 40 HOURS DEVOTION
Alteration of Blessed Sacra- ment COnducted-BishOp
 Allen Breaches

Services in connection with the 40 hours adoration of the Blessed Sacrament were conducted last night in St. Paurs church by the Rev. Father coy9e. After the recitation of the litanies and prayers the Rt. Rev. E. P Allen, bishop of Mo- bile, preached, taking for his text, He that eatheth My flesh and drinketh My blood abdeth in Me and I in him.
 During his sermon on the text Bishop Allen directed attention to the fact that from the very beginning the great and predominating hope of mankind was to be united with God, and that it was this hope which was taken advantage of, by the tempter in the Garden of Eden when he persuaded Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. But even at the mo- ment,'' said Bishop Allen, when the gates of Eden closed against mankind God gave them promise that they would be united with Him through a Redeemer. and that promise was transmitted from generation to generation until it became an accomplished fact in the mystery of the incarnation of Christ"
 ' Referring to the establishment of the sacrament of the eucharist, Bishop Allen quoted the words of Christ as expressed in his text showing that it was the pur pose of Christ to leave this sacrament as the means by which mankind is to become united with God and that when Christ instituted this sacrament He conferred upon His apostles the power to perpetuate 1t. AS the Father sent Me, l send you; flo fhio ion of mo fif,l the words Christ gave the power to change bread and vine into His body and blood, and this power has been exercised by the Catholic church from the very beginning and was by the Chris tian church until the sixteenth century when the alleged reformation took place,
 Bishop Allen laid especial stress upon the desire of the present Pope to lead the members of the Catholic church to more frequent communion, as that is the only means by which men can be strength ened in their resistance against the temp tations of life. He spoke of the Blessed Sacrament as the great bond which held all Catholics together and pointed out that all the conflicting doctrines of other churches arose from the fact that they had lost that one great principle which the Catholic church preserved ever since it was established by Christ
 Bishop Aliens sermon was followed with close attention by the congregation and made a marked impression on all who heard it.
 The services closed with benediction of the Blessed Sacrament which was given by the Rev. Father Coen, Services will begin this hmorning with mass at 6:30 and at o'clock Bishop Allen will cele- brate a solemn pontifcal high mass, after which there will be procession and the closing prayers

BOY FAST IN SEWER
 FOR OVER ! HOURS:
Little Wallace Morris Is Recovering After Re
 markable Experience

Speedily recovering after being confined in a sewer pipe for oyer seven hours sun day, is the experience of 10-year-old Wal lace Morris. Apparently the youngster is no worse off from his adventure and un- less he contracts pneumonia the doctors believe that he is out of danger.
 It was stated by a neighbor of the Mor- rs' last night that Wallace was playing with a crowd of other children in the street Sunday afternoon. For some req son or other Wallace started to crawl through the sewer at the corner of Avenue and Thirty-ninth street in Avondale. When he reached about the center of the sewer pipe he found it was clogged up with mud and in his efforts to crawl backwards he became fast
 The other children told their parents about his predicament, but the older folks paid no heed to the tale, thinking it was all childish prattle. When Wallace failed to come home his father, V. W. Norris 3S26 Avenue C, sent out an alarm and large party of Avondale people started to search for the boy. Taking heed of the tale of the other children, several of the men started to dig down to the sewer pipe. After some delay the pipe was reached and the voice of Wallace was heard call ing to the rescuers
 Don't let them hit me with a pick, papa" called the little fellow. After care fully removing the young man rom his mud bed doctor was summoned and the boy was taken home. Wallace said that after he had been in the sewer several hours he became tired and went to sleep. It was after 10 o'clock Sunday night when I,o nd bo Ha6 ora Iod n the sewer about o'clock in the after noon.
 Although he is badly cramped from his enforced stay in the pipe, otherwise he is apparently uninjured. He finds it Father hard to walk and is very tired, but un- less pneumonia sets in the doctors say that he will completely recover.

ADJUSTMENTS
Sothern and Marlowe

Mr. Sothern and Miss Marlowe proved
 to be a memorable attraction at the Jef- ferson last night, where they appeared
 before an audience that taxed the ca
 pacity of the house, in Shakespeare's s l tragedy of Hamlet" To say that the
 performance was superb and character
 ized throughout by the highest artistle
 excellence would be unnecessary, Tn view 1 of the splendid attachments already ac- credited to these eminent players. Al though in the play presented last night, Miss Marlowe has not many opportuni- 1 ties, Ophelia being almost minor char | acter in comparison with the prince' whose dominance is supreme, both stars
 were thoroughly satisfying. Miss Mar 1 lowe presented Ophelia with rare sym
 pathy and charm. her intonation was ad- mirable and her we'll known elocutionary powers were much in evidence. Mr. Sothern's performance was mag
 nifeent effort and met with the entbusi- | astic reception which it so righly mer- ited. His absolute mastery of the part was apparent in every scene, while hls delivery of those immortal passages
 which are so familiar to lovers of the stage and of literature was an artistic treat. His features harmonized well with the semblance of melancholy. The shift ing humors of the prince, whose suscep-
 tible nature was torn by a host of con fiicting emotions until it would seem quite natural for his reason to totter from it's throne, despite the savants who say that Hamlet was not mad, were typiiicd with the skill and aptitude of finished player. The ease with which really great actor interprets a role is always wonder to lesser lights, who in striving to emulate him, merely succeed in exag- gerating or distorting.
 The company was notable in that most of the subsidiary characters were in quite capable hands and there was absent that glaring contrast so often noted in Shakespearian companies, in which the stars tower so much above their support that the work of the latter seems pain fully poor, Some very fine passages are thus mouthed till they lose all their ef- feet. While, of course, MT. Sothern and Miss Marlowe were in every sense of the word stars, their company did very well, indeed and the performance was uni formly good
 V. l. KranYlle as King Claudius, John Taylor as Polonius, Ina Goldsmith as Queen Gertrude, Frederick Lewis as Ho- ratio, William Harris as the ghost of Hamlet's father, Rowland Blackstone as the first grave digger, were members of the company who gave an excellent ac- count of themselves.
 The stage appointments were in keep ing with a brilliant performance. The scenes of the play were given a complete and vivid presentation.

"The Girl From Rector's''


 ''rhe Girl From Rector's' as presented at the Bijou last night was 8 failure from ey cry viewpoint, but is at least strikingly moderated from the naughtiness of the original production. The acting, with the exception of one of two minor characters. was so poor and amateurish that every situation offering real chances for good talent was permitted to go by unchal- lenged
 The plot of the four act French comedy Is, as usual, a married man becoming the center of embarrassing complications that involve another mans wife and that al ways unravel in most remarkable way leaving all parties concerned living hap oily ever afterwards. The "Girl From Rectors," played by Miss Doris Hardy, was a sad disappointment IS she was neither graceful, very beautiful nor an actress of many merits. She goes to the extreme in her mannerisms and facial ex- pressions and is not quite so fascinating as she must have been in reality to have created the excitement that she did.
 Jack Barnes as the young husband was better than his mate, Sam Spedden, as General Copley and the young wife, was the prettiest member of the feminine con- tingent Lillian Rentfrow as Mrs. Copey could not hide her laughter occasoned by the comical references made by her fel- low actors, thus detracting from a part for which she was apparently well suited. George w. Paige as Professor Maboon comes nearer to being the finished actor than any other member of tue company and E. Moore as Deacon Wiggleford runs him a close second. The usual matinees will be given on Tuesday, Thursday and ances.

A MODERN NERO
 WOULD NOT FIDDLE Why Building Firms Favor
 Fire Protection
MIR. LOCKHART'S VIEWS
Fire Never Benefits the Contractor, George Stafford Says Movement Is Not to Promote Certain
 Building Materials

H. A. Lockhart, first vice president of the Builders and Traders exchange, and George Stafford, secretary of that organ ization. have granted interviews relative to the anti-fire loss campaign from the standpoint of the contractor and the sup ply men, respectively. The visit of MT. Wentworth. Mir Meeks and MT. Tregoe March IA and 15, is arousng local interest in this matter and the many advantages to practically every citizen through fire prevention is receiving the consideration of many organizations and individuals at this time.
 In response to the intlmation that build CTS are perhaps opposed to the movement being waged by the National Fire Pro- teeton association, MT. Loekhart, we'll known contractor and builder of this city, had the following to say.
 Would Not Fiddle
 Well, no; there has been a change since Nero's time. Builders of the pres ent day would not fiddle while Rome burned. No builder who carries on legit- innate business could be other than op- posed to the dreadful waste by fire that has devastated the country for the past few years. It is true that in replacing burned property certain individuals are benefited by some business in the re- construction, but no thinking builder can lose sight of the fact that a loss by fire Is an irreparable loss to some one,i if not to the owner of the property destroyed, it is to some financial inst- tuition. We look at a premium on fire insurance policy now as a tax, and compulsory one at that the same as if levied by the state or municipality. If these enormous amounts were not de- stroyed by fire each year these premiums would be much smaller. The amount saved in premiums would be invested in new construction, of which the contrac- tors would receive their share of bus mess and the process would be one of building up the wealth of the country rather than burning up in order to re- build.
 Receives No Benefit
 'The builder who gets the contract to replace n structure destroyed by fire may appear on first sight to get direct ben eft from his neighbours misfortune, but if the matter is sifted down no doubt he has contributed more in the way of build CTS risks and premiums on fire insur- ance which was at a higher rate than it ought 10 be that would make the If ---,~i1 profit he had made

 u1iform-in thought, in customs, III { everything.
 Fifty years ago, to go to another country meant to go to another world. Now all countries, even the most re- mote, are a part of the same little world.
 Recently I had striking illustrc- tion of this fact.
 I happened to see beautiful book let printed in Chinese yes, in Chinese!
 Right away I noticed something familiar about it. No, 1 don't mean that the language was familiar. All that 1 know about the Chinese lan- guage will never hurt me. It wasn't the language-it was the pictures.
 On every page of the book were beautiful pictures of a girl seated be- fore a typewriter. Now she was point ing to one part of the machine, now to another. Evidently she was ex- blaming to the reader, in that strange Chinese tongue, all about that type writer.
 But the girl was not Chinese. She was obviously American.
 Where have I seen her before? l wondered. Then in flash it came to nc" Miss Remington"
 Miss Remington! The face familiar in every booklet and litho- graph and magazine advertisement of the Remington Typewriter. What could she be doing in China-talking to the Chinese in their own tongue What did China know or care about Miss Remington or the Reming- ton Typewriter?
 Here was something interesting something worth investigating. And straightway I called at the New York Remington office.
 The booklet, l learned, was not mere curiosity, but plain bushes: proposition-printed by the Reming ton representatives in Hong Kong tol circulation among the Chinese.
 No. the Remington Typewriter doesn't write Chinese-not that. But thousands of Chinese houses have for eign trade and must conduct their cor s~ respondence after the manner ot thu foreigner.
 So the Chinese buy Remington Typewriters-just as we do! Ano they are hearing all about the merits of the Visible Remington models just as we do, from the lips of Mis- Remington
 Truly our little world is shrinking
 And one of the great forces, thought, that has worked this moderr transformation is none other than tht machine operated by Miss Reming ton"
