night Of the Irish play, The Playboy OF
the Western World" at the Adelphi

Irishman." denounced the play as a
travesty on Irish customs and Irish life.
The disturbance began shortly after .
O'Clock and lasted for nearly An hour
before II was possible TO continue with
the performance.

Springfield avenue, stood up in his seat
and began an address. He was accom-

huddled in a group on the stage, with
characteristic disregard for the situation,
and the audience began TO join in the

of the greatest trouble. and policemen
hurried about vainly trying to restore
order, but found themselves surrounded
by a voIley Of remarks from all sides
and unable to identify the offenders

r,mors current to-day was one to the
effect that the veterans intended to at

members to pass legislation favorable TO

AS a precautionary measure the House
was guarded within and without by
strong details of police. Not the least
symptom Of disorder was manifested.
The principal grievance Of the veterans
is the prohibition of the soldiers from
attending their meetings. They profess

President TO rescind his order. Should
the President comply. IT is rumored that
Secretary Of Government Machado will
resign.
Rumors also persist that General Mon

job at Albany, that no stenographer
was 10 charge any lawyer fees for the
minutes of transfer tax proceedings or
for transfer tax reports This rule had
been in effect when Julius Hamburger

onslaught. They drew together,
striking out with dubbed rifles,
surrounded by ring of savage,
haunting foes. There was no

long knives, forcing the others

men remained unscathed.
Suddenly, far down the valley,

through the air. Then, over the
stiffness of the afternoon came
the faint sound of jangling bits. A
cloud of dust was rising above

THE BRETON DORMEUSE
Claims a Mysterious Power to Cure
 Diseases by Charms

Every few years something occurs survival of the grossest superstitions in it's midst French opinion is at present shocked by a recent revela- . tiOn at St Nab. which has result ed in the arrest of a dormeuse. The dormeuse is peculiar to Brittany. She is a woman who claims a mysterious power to heal disease by certain charms and treatments. re-eminent- ly by inducing artificial sleep.
 A St. Malo workman was suffering from meningitis, and under ordinary medical treatment. when a woman De lance. a renowned dormeuse, was call ed in She arrived with her husband and sent for a milk white pigeon. While the man put the pationt into a trance the woman cut the live pigeon in half and placed it on his forehead. This was followed by bath ing the sick mans feet in some se- cret liquid and covering his head with a cloth that had been soaked in It. As a result of the treatment the workman died in a day.
 The dormeuse has been arrested and a comprehensive inquiry is to be made into the SuperstitiOus practices of Brittany. It will. however, need more than an inquiry to shake the beliefs of the most superstitlouS and conservative corner of France.-West- minister Gazette.
