THE great musical feature of The
World in Chicago will be the Pageant
of Darkness and Light. This will be
presented at the Auditorium Theater,
which seats 1900 people, every after
noon and evening during the five weeks
of the Exposition, each presentation
occupying two hours and half. Be-
ginning in February, approximately
5000 persons will commence rehearsing
for participation in this great musical
production, about 5000 for the grand
choir and 5000 for the dramatic parts.
The Pageant is a musical drama of
great events in the history of Christian
missions. 1t has been called Mission
airy Grand Opera There are five bril-
liant episodes or acts, filled with life,
action and color, taken from the four
quarters of the earth. The music is of
a high class, rich in descriptive quality.
Each episode works up thrilling and
dramatic climax

THE McGovern-Ekern eruption at the
capital is bringing to light some mighty
interesting things which the people who
buck up the taxes were entirely ignor-
ant of before. BY digging into the
records it has developed that Assem-
blyman Johnson, who was primarily
the cause of the row, has been attached
to the pay roll of the insurance COM
missioner's office as an emergency ex-
pert" exempt from civil service regu-
lations, and a princely sum paid him
for pretended services. If soft snaps
are being given to political favorites,
better pry into some of the other de-
partments of state and how deeply this
scandal permeates our much lauded
progressive administration

IT is evident that editor-postmasters
should be more guarded IN what they
print during political campaigns when
the election of congressman to whom
they owe their appointment is at stake:
In the libel suit of Wallace Ingalls, of
Racine against the Delavan Republican
for S25, 600 damages, tried at Elkhorn
last week before Judge Franz {. Esch-
weller of Milwaukee, the jury brought
in a verdict Saturday night, giving Mr..
Ingalls, $500 damages, $500 compensa-
tory and S100 punitory. After the YER
dict was reached Judge Eschweiler
sprung sensation in court. He in
structed the district attorney to prefer
charges of perjury against Postmaster
Edward Mahoney of Delavan, brother
of the defendant, for his testimony
during the trial, regarding an alleged
conversation of the plaintiff with his
attorney. Mr.. ingalls, commenced this
suit as we'll as two others, one against
the Beloit Daily News for $5O, 900 ano
the Monroe paper for $25. 900, for slam
derous articles published with refer
ence to him when he ran for congress
against Henry A. Cooper two years
ago. The suits have created great
deal of interest throughout the flrs1
congressional district and the result OF
the first one at Elkhorn is considered
vindication and places the postmaster
in a serious position.

THE governor seems to have scored
one on the senate in message that
raps that august body sharply on the
knuckles for presuming to inqnire into
his official acts. He also informs them
that the McGovern-Eker matter is now
in the court and not subject to review
by them while pending. Somehow the
public is getting the measure of the
small calibre and narrow partizanship
of that body which poses as ultra pro-
gressive. The shame of it all is that
they are wasting time and spending the
public money in a nasty scramble for
the spoils of office.

AS THE completion of the canal draws

oceans will be connected by an I'M
broken avenue of brilliant lights,
through which the worlds commerce

ELEVEN thousand miles of motion
picture film, 80 million dollars worth
of automobiles, a million dollars worth
of telephones, and more than 500, 900
worth of aeroplanes were among the
exports of the United States for the
year just ended. The United States is
the worlds largest producer of motion
picture film, and the quantity exported
during the year aggregates more than
so million feet, approximately 1900
miles, or enough to stretch from New
York to Manila. OF the motion picture
film over three-fourths went to the
United Kingdom. The film industry is
among the latest to be developed into
international significance, and it seems
destined to increase greatly. Espec-
tally is this the probability in view of

Thrilling Rescue of Ship
wrecked Crew on New

POSSIBLE BY DARING
OF THREE FISHERMEN
They Rowed Out to the
Wrecked Schooner and
Took Off the Men

st. Johns, N. T., Jan. l0.-A thrilling
rescue of the shipwrecked crew of the
fishing schooner Evelyn was made yes
terday at Isle Aubois, on the southern
coast of New Foundland. The vessel
had been swept by the waves, was
breaking up and the boats had been
washed away. When all hope Of rescue
had apparently gone, the crew saw
small boat put out from the shore,
manned by three fishermen.
The little boat reached the schooner
and took off the crew, then started for
shore. A shift of wind carried the lit
tie craft out OF its course and tossed
it on a ledge at the foot Of some per
pendicular stone cliffs. People on the
shore had seen the fate of the craft and,
ascending the cliffs from the rear, they
lowered ropes to the men on the ledge
below, hauling them one by one to
safety.

TRAIN LED BY MAN ON FOOT.
Novel Sight on Williamstown Branch
Train: Cause, Alleged Split Rail.

A stranger walked into the Western
Union office at the Central Vermont sta
tion late yesterday afternoon and
startled the operator by declaring that
split rail. which he had just discovered
on the Williamstown division. might
lead to a serious accident If the railroad
authorities did not adopt the proper pre-
cautions at once. The train leaving
Barre for Williamstown at 4;40 WAS
due to leave on the return trip about the
time the stranger appeared and the ap
orator realized that the situation called
for prompt action He notified Station
Agent I. @. Morgan. who in turn eom-
municated with the Wlliamstown agent
and learned that the train was about to
pull out Of the station for Barre.
1t was too late to send section crew
up on the branch and the train men at
adopted the only alterna
tive Of sending man several yards
ahead of the locomotive to look for the
trouble maker. Swinging brilliantly
lighted torch, the track walker covered
the entire distance, while the train crept
cautiously in the rear. Passengers in
the coaches were inclined to dig up old
discussion concerning the merits of the
Nilliamst0Wn branch until train hand
appeared in the door and told Of the
danger which might be lying ahead.
People living on the heights Of the cirv
were unable to account for the snail-liSe
pace Of the train and the man-and-
orch outfit that heralded it's approaca
vas quite as much Of mystery
He who led the big locomotive and
hree coaches failed to find the defective
all and since that hour when the slow
