Miss Minnie Eimers had an import.
ant role which she presented excellent.
". She was radiantly beautiful in the
handsome gown she wore in the first
act and throughout the play her pre-.

Miss Maryetta Alexander was also cast
in difficult role which she handled
capably. The part of "Madamoiselle
ZenObe' was in the hands of Mrs. Fred
Noyes, who, although new to local thea
tergoers, made decidedly favorable i'm.
preston and enlivened the production
with the life and dash which she put
into her work. Miss Van 9Slyke was
charming in both appearance and abili-

Miss Opal Harlan appeared to advant-

Old Man" of Baseball is in City

though Cy Young is known through
out the nation as one of the worlds
best ball players Otto has not donned a
uniform for years. In years gone by
Otto played amateur bali but never
graduated into professional ranks.
"My other brothers and l." Otto said
yesterday; "were always strong for
baseball but we left it up to Cy to do
all the active playing for the family.
That he has more than made good is
attested by his record of 20 years in
the big circuit, which will probably go
untouched for years to come.'
Mr.. Young is modest, unassuming
man and spoke of his brother s success
with considerable reticence. Cy Young
is now managing the Cleveland team
in the Federal league and does not oc-
eupy the pitchers box any more. A
physician has told him that the elbow
joint of his arm is calloused and that
the old wing has lost the cunning which
for years kept him in the front ranka
of big league twirlers.

has emerged from the affray with
added glory after a display of heroism
and cool-headedness. The popular
pastilne in Spain seems to be to get
the king at least it's popular in so far
as it concerns the anarchists and
other impossible-to-please elements.
The young king is well liked in this
country, as are his wife and children,
but in the spirit of unrest prevailing
in Spain, as in all other monarChies,
it may be foreseen that in some future
day, perhaps, a successful regicide
may once be marked up on the annals
of history; some day the king will

ton of a republic will come.

form in the individual case are small
indeed. The real cure must include
a namount of preventative work to
protect them from falling into this
slavery.
The social evil is not merely an
American problem. 1t is worldwide
and the women of every civilized ma
ton are beginning to fight it. Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, ex-president of
the National American Woman Suf-
frage association, who has been study
ing the subject during a two years
tour of the world says: 1T is the
problem of modern civilized woman
hood. The heather East sells. The
Christian West buys. In the treaty
ports of the East at least a million
women are confined in this sort of
slavery, their life lasting from one to
l. ear after their e~nslavement be-
gins. Europe has staggered under the
burden of this evil for centuries. The
lead in freeing the world from the en-
slavement of prostitution must come
from the country where the women al
ready enjoy the greatest freedom"
The protection of girls from the
clutches of the abents for immoral
houses who infest every large railroad
station, has led to the establishment
of the Travellers Aid which rapidly
is becoming a strong protective meas
ure in the cities in which it has been
organized. The fact that $4,000 girls
are lost annually in the United States
many of whom are never heard of
by their friends, and that at least
LOO of these disappear in transporta-
ton between New York and Chicago.
has called into the field the presence
of one or more refined women in most
of the large stations. They watch for
the young girls who come in upon
every train and, when they are not
met by friends. endeavor to see that
they are properly cared for. The need
Of more of these Travellers Aid agents
is strongly being urged.
So far, the laws of the United
States regarding the social evil are
better than in most other countries.
The women of the nation not only in
tend to keep them so, but also t.
secure their better enforcement. What
the women want is a better enforce
ment of these laws and a severer pun
ishment dealt to the man who forces
or entices a girl into White slavery.
Miss Jane Adams who has given
much study to this subject says that
if the laws were enforced the social
evil would be almost overcome, since
the number of innocent girls who
would voluntarily enter a life of
shame is so small as to be relatively
unimportant.
