PARK THEATRE

The telephone, one of the com monest. Of everyday helps. has been his greatest play. ..The Woman which David Belasco will present Mon day, Dec. 23 at the Park Theatre. This play was one of the few real for nine months in New York and five m onths in Chicago. It is based on Q progressive movement in Congress, particularly interesting during the present political contests, and it's story is interesting and gripping, ap- pealing to men and women alike. It is typical American play! and it's characters are typical American men and women. The company to be seen here is, with out change. the same tn at was seen during the long run of the Ire, New York. It includes Jane Pey- ton, Mary Nash, John W: Cope, IaE- Ie 9Id .+,ss wosbuTg, F. -,ds Edwin Holt Cuyler Fitzpatrick, William Holden. and others.
 of the greatest comedy successes ever produces comes to the Park Theatre | Christmas Day. The play is a drama tization of George Randolph Chester's s famous Wallingford stories that fol- lows closely Chester's plot combined with upmistakably Conan humor. Of the twenty or more characters by far the greater number are creations of the versatile young actor-author- manager. Eddie Lamb. the head clerk; Willie, the office boy; Bessie Meers. the head waitress; Abe Gun ther. the bus driver and Clint Har- kins. the reporter, are all real per sons that MT. Conan has met during his busy career and added to the in exhaustibie gallery of characters stored away in his brain until he calls them out into the glare of the foot lights. The company that will be seen in. this city is composed of thoroughly capable players, many of whom were members or the original cast and are now in their fourth sea- son in the characters they created.
 / 'The Merry Go Rounders," which comes to the Park Theatre, Thurs day, Friday and Saturday of next week is billed as laugh" maker with music" and is all that the pro ducers profess it to be. Snitz Moore and very clever aggregation of fun makers take care that the audience does the chuckling. ''The Merry Go Rounders'' company is composed ex- clusively of songsters who can sing and comedians who are funny, as well as a chorus that can dance and sing.

Albania to Gain Autonomy and Servia Will Have Access
 to the Adriatic
Result of Ambassadors Con- ference to End Europe's Money Strain and Influence Peace Envoys

London Dec. 21-The Turkish and Balkan peace delegates were received at noon, today, by King George at Buckingham Palace, and it was con- fidenfly expected that the envoys would quickly reach an amicable working basis when the peace confer ence was resumed at o'clock this af- ternoon at St. James Palace.
 With the anbasSarodta1 converse tions at the foreign office having autonomy for the government of Al bania and the Austrian-Servian ots- .pute about the Adriatic, coupled with Turkeys announced intention to al- with the Greeks, regardless of their failure to sign the prococol, the optfn1- ists were convinced that peace for all Europe was on the horizon.
 The fresh b1oyancy of the stock un>1rket and news from Vienna that Austria Hungary was demobilizing her reservists added to the general good
 It had been arranged by Sir Edward Grey, secretary of state for foreign affairs, to present the peace delegates to the King. yesterday, but the Lord Mayors luncheon in their honor causs- ed postponement until today.
 Tine news that the ambassadors had reached an agreement in the matters of Albania and Servia was made plIb- lie by the following official announce ment, issued when the arnbassador1a1  nally adjourned for the Christmas holidays:
 'tThe ambassadors have recommend ed to their governments and the lat ter have accepted, in principle, Alban- ian autonomy, together with a pro- vision guaranteeing to Servia com nercial saccess to the Adriatic. All the six governments have agreed in principle on these two points,"
 Two things are possible, this after noon, to cause a further hitch in the peace negotiations. Turkey might in sfst on Greece ceasing hostilities and allowing the Turks to reproVision Adrianople. Janina and Scutari, and Bulgaria might insist on the inned- fate cessation of Adriapople.
 In either eventuality, should Turkey fail to agree with the Balkan States, it was said that the Turkish delegates were authorized inam mediately to leave the conference and break off negotia- tiors, but it was confidently believed that secret diplomacy would avert the crisis at this time.

HAS BUOYANT EFFECT ON
 LONDON STOCK MARKET

London, Dec 21-The stock market was buoyant today, which indicated to those who know the signs of the times that the Albanian action of the ambassadors has insured the peace of Europe. Stocks that for weeks past had been fallings because of the Bal kan war clouds and the general de- pression on the continent, bounded up- ward sharply at today's opening and by noon brokers were smiling broad- ly
 The action of the market was att tributable to the inside information that the ambaSsadorial conversations had settled the matter of Albanian autonomy and the Austrian-Servian dispute. The reception of the peace delegates by King George, too, was taken as a good omen.

WHITE PLAGUE LESS DEADLY
Decrease in Death Rate From Tuber-
cuIosis Means Saving Of 27,ooo
Lives in Ten Years.

In the decade from 1901 to 1910, the
death rate from tuberculosis In the
United States declined from 1863 for
each 100000 persons living to 1903,
decrease OF 1871 per cent, while the
general death rate, including all
causes of death, declined only one
half as fast, or at the rate OF 81 per
cent, from 1850 to 1898, according
to figures given out by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton OF tuberculosis. The figures are
based on data abstracted from the re-
ports of the United States Bureau OF
the Census, and cover the registration
area in this country. According to
the statement. the tuberculosis death
rate has declined steadily since 1904.
when.it was 20l.6. On the other hand.
the general death rate shows tiuc-
tuation downward in general trend.
but not as steady as the tuberculosis
rate. The decline in the tuberculosis
death rate in the last ten years means
saving of 27.O0O lives at the present

In the river. Caribou had crossed and
landed close to where my canoe was
hidden. Fortunately, they kept clear
of my trail. 1t was only small herd.
but they came within range and ]
made two exposures. Scarcely had
reloaded the camera than another and
larger herd came into view. What a
superb sight they presented as they
walked with quick steps along the
lead which would give. me the best
chance with the camera. So quiet
was the morning that the curious
clicking Of their feet sounded unusu-
ally clear. Here was the chance for
which l had been waiting six long
years. the combination that | knew
was bound to come some time-good
light and a large enough herd Of alb
solutely unsuspicious caribou. 1t was
really worth waiting for, and my heart
beat so hard with excitement that 1t
seemed as though the approaching an
imals must hear it. With almost fe
verish haste each part OF the camera
was carefully examined to see that
the shutter was set correctly, the
proper diaphragm In place, the slide
drawn and so forth. All of this occu-
pied but a second or two. However,
the animals were almost in range by
the time l had made sure that every
thing was in readiness. II only a
stag had been leading; but that sell
dom happens. In fact, only three
times have l seen 1t. First came a
doe and her fawn, then three young
stays and another doe, followed by
fair stag; but the largest one was.
of course, the last of the line. That
is the rule. and that is why it is so
very difficult to photograph them. On
they came, and | watched them close
ly as they grew larger and larger on
the groundglass of the camera; but
at the moment when they almost COW
cred the entire plate l pressed the
shutter release. the picture was made,
and the herd had gone before another
plate could be put into position.

CANADA'S PROSPERITY.

The New York Times of March 20.
1912. In an article dealing with Cana
da's progress. says:
..At the present moment eight ship
loads OF European immigrants are
afioat for Canada, while there are
signs that the outward movement
which Is customary with us during
labor troubles will be marked this
year. There Is no such startling rec
ord OF our loss to Canada. Our citi-
zens quietly slip over the border In
groups or traiploads. but their going
is not advertised.
There Is no mystery why Canada
Is the good thing the United States
used to be. II Is because Canada is
following In Its neighbor's footsteps
that 1t Is repeating the fortunate ex-
perience which its neighbor Is envy
Ing, even while deliberately turning
It's back on the teachings of the past.
fortnight ago the Dominion budget
speech reported the unprecedented
surplus of $39,000,00o, and on Thurs
day the Government passed through
$3S.000.00 for railways and canals.
With this assistance the railways
themselves are both enabled and COM
PEELED to increase their facilities. Ac-
cordingly we find single road allct-
ting ten millions for work of its own.
Naturally the Canadian newspapers
contain announcements calling for
fifty thousand men for construction
work. This influx is apart from those
Americans who go with money in their
pockets obtained by cashing In their
high-priced American lands.
"A st. Paul dispatch says that with
in fortnight two thousand carloads
OF farm animals and machinery have
passed toward Canada, the property
of men who expect to pay for their
farms with the first crop"
