 Just Of the Channel.

Between four and five o'clock Fri day afternoon the last of a tow of three barges bound for Aliens point sank just as it was passing Kite maug and now rests in p to A feet of water. The barge was tied tight to the preceding one, so that the captain walked on to the one in front as he felt the barge going down.
 The barge was one which the BluS line hired to help take care of its or ders and carried about roo tons of soft coal to be discharged at Allyns Point. The barge was hauled just off the channel, but it is submerged and will have to be pumped out and raised to make the river navigable. The chan nel has been opened to the Point for several days

There seems to be n poricd in tho
life Of n playwright; when he becomes
horribly possessed by the advance Of
middle age Usually he succumbs to
1t ana writes play about it; IL re il
trench he pollcs FUN NJ himself. as, Ed
ward Pailleron did in "D'Age lngrat;"
II lie is very English he takes 1t very
seriously. as did PJncro, in The Prin-
cess and the Butterfly" Now, Mr.
Davies is only thirtyhve, but. Judging
from his play, ~ Single Man. lie has
fallen premature victim TO the ter
rors OF This fatal period. The piece Is

sey Il is about bong forty-thrce. Be
ing forty-three. OF course, is more Il
state OF mind than anything else.
IL comes out in the first few minutes
OF the play, and throughout the first
three acts, Robin Wortlington. the
Single Man, cannot get over il. AS a
writer, lie is tremendously moved by
she sight of the happiness of his BROTH
or and sister-in-law and their baby.
IT is sprngtime and the fever OF love
enters his heart He determines that
he is lonely and must marry. Mrs.
Worthineton, his sister law is en-
chaDted nj the idea, and begins her
schemes for matrimony. She invites
an old school friend, who is quite as
keen for the welded state as Robin,
down TO visit her. But the best of
plans sometimes miscarry; Robin has
inconsideratcly become engaged 10 q
young toniboyish girl, who is obvious
ly the last person in the world suited
70 become his wife. She leads him
through II rompinE three weeks. Poor
Robin sees his mistake; he cannot long
or be frolicsome youth with ease ana
comfort. He longs for reposo and
quiet. and suddenly discovers that his
real love is for Miss Hascltine his
iypist a charming. Intelligent woman
who has worked for him for five years.
This brings things to very serious
situat ton, which is fortunately relieved
by the discovery of thu Hride- elect that
her lover is too old for her. She breaks
the engagement, thus leaving the Sin

LINCOLN BEACHEY
DARES DEATH IN DIVE

Chicago, Illinois, September "a
Mr.. Lincoln Beachey, in the most
daring aerial stunts ever witnessed
here. was the sensation of the clos
ing program of the international avi-
alton meet at Grant park Saturday
evening. Beachey made such perilous
dives and turns that spectators ex-
pected to see him dashed to his death
a score of times. As the finale of his
act Beachey ascended to an altitude
OF 1000 feet and suddenly twisted
about, banked his plane until 1t al
most turned completely over and did
a series OF marvellous spirals.
Going back TO nearly his former
height, the aviator turned the ma
chine perpendicularly downward and
the biplane came straight down as
though no hand guided it. Many per-
sons fled from the boxes and grand
stand. Others covered their faces that
they should not see the aviator's
death. About 200 feet above the
stand, Beachey suddenly put the ma
chine on an even keel, skinned over
the heads of the spectators and made
a perfect landing in the center of the
field.

BERNHARDT SAYS SUFFRAGE
MEANS LITTLE TO WOMEN

London, Sept. 24-Women and
politics formed the subject Of an in
terview with Sarah Bernhardt on her
arrival in London. The actress makes
an interesting comparison of the tenn
pers of men and women ad discour-
ages the suffragists on the ground
that there is nobled opening for
feminine activity in art, music and
literature. She said:
THE temper of men differs much
from that of women. The latter are
charming, but they do not create any
compact enthusiasm in American
politics Voting does not mean real
politics and cabinets and parliaments
are better without women. Art, lit
erature and the drama are living and
passionate and that is where women
are needed at their finest. The mod
ern woman is an increasing power all
over the world and there are many
openings where she might WELD a di-
vie Influence. At one time men con-
fined that influence too much to the
homes; it is a glory often but fire.
quently was an unmeaning subjuga-
tion. Women were too restricted in
the last century, but now they are
happily emancipated.
Il am prejudiced for art, it is true,
because politics offer nothing worth
while to the nature of woman. The
vote, yes; that might we'll be allowed
to women. for 1t is really ridiculous to
see a great artist debarred from vot-
ing, while man who knows nothing
above sweeping staircase is allow
ed the franchise.

RUSHING FRESHIES

University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore
Sept. 24.-Competition is keen this
year among the fraternities and sor-
rorities in their effort to secure the
pick of the freshman class. 1t hap
pens that the Greek letter organiZa-
tions are all rather heavy losers in
membership through graduation last
year and fortunately some exception
ally good material is to be found in
the entering class. As a result, new
students are being most royalty en-
tertained. Several of the sororities
have automobiles engaged for the en-
tire first week, and during these few
days of the college year before work
has really started, social events are
marking each day and night.
To prevent too hasty pledging of
new members, the Greek letter organ
izations operate under Pan-Helenic
rules which prevents bidding or
goats" for three days after the
opening of college The humorous
side Of the whole situation is that
within the course of a few days, as
soon as the various freshmen are
pledged" young Mr.. or Miss Fresh
will be kicked from the present ex-
alted throne and submitted to a ruth
| less system that is intended to rele-
gate self opinion to the ash heap.
