The story of Checkers is that Of a

Mortified at his character as it has been

HUNDREDS ESCAPE BOMB.
heater Crowd Near When New York
Barber Shop Is Wrecked.

NEW YORK, September 3-Two or
three hundred persons who were going
home from an uptown theater shortly be-
fore midnight had a narrow escape from
death or serious injury when a Black
Hand bomb exploded before their eyes at
the door of an Italian barber shop on
125th street. They probably owe their
safety to the bravery Of Patrick Delaney,
teamster, who was passing the door
way of the little barber shop and heard
the sizzling Of the fuse.
Delaney knew without thinking twice
that it was bomb. He flung up his
hands and yelled at those passing to
stand back. AS the crowd retreated De-
laney ran across the street. The next
second there was a roar and the big win
dow Of the barber shop fell into the
street No one was injured.
The police say that the barber has been
the target for threatening letters for
many years. His child. twelve-year-old
boy, was kidnapped several months ago.

hunt which lasted six weeks.

TASTE WINE FOR A LIVING.
Women Who Have Been Successful
in Peculiar Occupation.
From Tit-Bits.


OF the list of strange callings followed
by women. that Of wine tasting is one OF
the most curious and lucrative. AS a
matter Of fact Mile. Collinere, whose
services are in great demand in France.

said to make an income of about $4,000

Of her judgment and knowledge of wine.
Wine tasters. 1t appears, are born, not
made. and must possess the gift OF a
rare and delicate palate. To this, of
course. must be added knowledge Of
wines. Mile. Collinere's taste is so fine
and her knowledge of wines such that
she can discern from the first taste OF
a wine just where the grapes grew from
which 1t was made, whether they were
raised in California or in the vineyards
Of France, Germany or elsewhere.

Joe Adams, we'll known in business cir

week, at the head Of the Rosebud Ex-
travaganza Company. and his numerous
friends turned out in full force yesterday
to applaud his efforts at both perform
ances Despite his absence from the
stage for nearly five years, Mr.. Adams
still possesses the ability to make an
audience laugh, and his personal refer
ences at the performance yesterday add
ed a touch of intimacy to the show that
seemed pleasing.
The show is still rough in spots, but
after a few more performances 1t will
be probably as good as any on the EN-
pire circuit. The costumes and scenery
are all new and the large chorus pre-
sented a stunning appearance. AS an
able foil for the comedy Of Joe Adams.
