without scenery.
The Ben Greet players have
nothing to assist them in enhancing
the effect of their acting. There
are no painted trees. no babbling
brooks. no architecture, no swaying
palms, ms,-nothing EXCEPT a blank
screen, no scenery of any kind, the
idea Of the place is suggested in
the program perhaps. or by what
one may know of the scene as
painted by the great dramatists but
on the stage there is nothing ex-
cept the actors, perfectly costumed
in keeping with the characters as
portrayed in the play. However,
the Ben Greet Players need nothing
TO assist them. They produced the
Comedy of Errors last night with
out a flaw and Shakespeare must
have been delighted could he have
heard their splendid Interpretation
of his lines and seen their clever
acting. Without except on, every
character was perfect, the two
Dromios being of course especially
funny and their lines and acting
furnished the spice necessary in the
complicated situations. There
was number Of names on the pro-
gram which have attracted atten-
tion by their acting of Shakespear-
ian roles. for instance, the English
actor, Leonard Shepherd, as the
mer chant Of Syracuse, Percival
Vivian, one of the DromiOs, Grace
Halsey Mills, as the wife Of Anphipo-
lus and others. ....
0 A noticeable feature in connec-
tion with the comedy was the
costuming. the women wearing
gowns quite similar to the present
modes, the drapings being almost
exactly the same rs the fashions for
the spring and sun mer; the ma
terisls were also quite similar to
the present weave, the effect of the
various gowns being almost up-to-
date. ..... ....

THE COMEDY OF ERRORS

The Ben Greet Players present
ed the Comedy Of Errors at the
opera House last night. and that
the immortal Shakespeare is ap.
preciated in Tuscan was fully
evinced by every chair in the
theater being occupied. From Uni
versitv circles and down town
circles the people were drawn by
the magic of the great writer and
dramatist who is old and always
new: who is the master If tragedy
and comedy, who knew his world
as the American boy Of the streets
knows slang, who wrote everythin ing
from the grandeur Of the heavens
to the rags of the urchin and who
with a trick Of words immor taIized
both.
The Comedy Of Errors is one of
the most clever of Shakespeare s
comedies and one Of the best
known. Who has not heard of the
two Dromios who were as like as
two peas in a pod and their masters
who were also the image Of one
another? Who has not heard of
the funny situations involved when
the master and servant of Syracuse
invade Epheus and there meet their
twin brothers after long sepera-
tion? Who has not heard OF the
wife who believed her husband in.

ONE COMPANY PREPARING

II. M. Cooper general manager
of the Farmers Mining Company
was an arrival from Chicago by
Fridays train. When asked IL ne
hao any news to give out regarding
the resumption of operations here
by his company, Mr.. Cooper stated
tc the Sentinel, that he had nothing
definite to give out at this time.
He said the work of making some
necessary changes in the milling
plant would go right along until
completed and he hoped soon to
have the mill ready for run. Mr..
Cooper wound up his remarks by
saying there would certainly be
something doing soon and that he
hoped to be able in very short
time to give the Sentinel some very

PEACE IN TIE BALKANS.

After fighting thirty-six days over
the spells OF the war with Turkey the
Balkan states have agreed upon
terms OF peace Though Of brief du-
ration the row among the allies has
been expensive in life. treasure and
the obstruction OF property.
Thousands OF soldiers were killed
or wounded in the fierce battles
fought in rapid succession. women
and children were massacred and
towns and villages sacked. This is
the price paid for greed. a fearful
sacrifice when if reason had prevailed
all might have Jared as well without
cost.
Under the agreement entered by
Servis, Greece. Montenegro. Rou-
mania and Bulgaria a new frontier
has been established and seaports
taken from the Turks distributed.
These were the bones of contention.
Each coveted the lions share OF the
little strip Of land OF which the Turks
were dispossessed and the points OF
advantage on the coast Of which the
common enemy had enjoyed posses
sion.
Bulgaria was the storm center OF
the war among the allies. Servia
openly declared war against her
Greece proclaimed that a state Of war
existed, but did not make a formal
declaration. Roumania followed the
example OF Servia in making for
nal declaration of war and by putting
her troops across the border. Monte
negro was enlisted in the combined
attack upon Bulgaria, but she did not
get actively into the field
Against these odds Bulgaria made
a gallant but hopeless night and has
been compelled TO accept an unsatis-
factory settlement. She hopes. how
ever. 10 have the powers revise the
agreement and give her what she
deems 20 be her dues.

WHAT Is THUNDER?
a EXPLANATION SUMMER CANNONADING
SKY-THE VULNERABLE
PARTICLES WHICH LIGHTNING

the air feels heavy and oppressive and
seems TO be filed with moisture. 1t
is. 1t is filled with tiny particles of
water we call droplets which, when
in large groups are rain clouds and
when these clouds run into a cool
strata of air they condense and form
rain drops.
These droplets are curious things
curious because they are SO small.
1t takes 500 trillion of them to make
one drop of rain. And it is in the
making of the drops Of rain that the
lightning comes. The surface of ev-
cry droplet is covered with electricity.
This brings out another curious fact.
When you take two balls of the same
size and make one ball Of them you
find that the surface Of the one big
ball is really smaller than the sum of
the surface OF the two original balls.
So that when the 800 trillion droplets
form the single drop of rain there. is
an enormous amount of electricity
left over after the surface Of the rain
drop is covered as full as 1t will hold.
This great excess has got to go
somewhere else. Whenever there
seems to be a good place for il to go
to another rain cloud or to the
earth lot Of these electrical particles
get together and make a sudden
break for it, making lightning flash.
They go through the air so fast they
heat il considerably.
The heat causes the air TO expand,
TO become greater in volume than 1t
was originally and this volume of air
just like the gas in the gun barrel
or the air in the bag when you hit
it-has got TO distribute itself over
the atmosphere and it starts doing so
with a roar and bang just s there
is. a roar and a bang when the gas is
shot out Of the gun barrel and when
the compressed air is released from
the paper bag.
That is what thunder is.

A FORCED LAUGH.

There is fatal lack OF spontaneity
IN the so-called citizens movement.
II sounds like a forced laugh. 1t
genuineness.
The movement has been beaten into
sembiance OF form by assiduous and
ambitious seekers for power and
spells and held up from behind a
pie-faced paragon OF all the virtues
in the calendar.
There is nothing legitimate about
Il but the privilege which citizens OF
the United States are given Of organ
izing a new political party on the
most shadowy Of pretexts.
II does not possess the slightest
scintilla Of excuse for its existence
outside Of the unholy ambition OF the
Tribune-Triumvir alliance to use the
voters Of South Bend as a catspaw to
rake the hot chestnuts Of patronage
and control from the municipal fire.
The republican party and the pro-
gressive party, each had its organi-
zation. each deemed it prudent and
gise and each was content to accept
the situation following the division
preferring defeat to fusion Insidious
influence again divided these two or
ganizations each against itself.
A part Of each has gone off after
the feshpots OF the so-called citizens
movement. unconscious Of the trap
that was laid for them in the secret
councils OF the Tribune Triumvir
combination.
This reduced TO its constituent
parts the so-called citizens move
ment. barred OF the glamour Of a great
moral reformation. is seen to be the
barest and cheapest kind OF an expe-
dent to create and establish under
the guise Of a popular movement a
political machine for the present and
future control OF city affairs
Can you doubt it? Dlssect the
makeup OF the little circle that is
leading this movement. Analyze the
motives that have actuated them in
previous undertakings. Do you find
anything big and broad" in it?
Would # be possible for this little
crowd to do anything big and
broad?
Now there you have By contrast

pose and on the unimpeachable char
acter OF the men who compose it.

SELLS BONDS TO
SMALL INVESTORS
st. Paul Adopts Tom JohnsOn's Idea
and Offers Entire Issue ut
Public Sale.
Special correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
ST. PAUL, Mimi. Aug. S.-St. Paul
is selling it's citizens an interest in
their town,
Up in this Minnesota city they be-
lieve they have found the solution
for two problems Of high Importance
to every municipality in the country:
An absolutely safe investment for
the odd nickels and dimes of the
common people that assures interest
at four per cent from the moment the
money is invested.
An inexhaustable supply of funds
with which TO operate all municipal
enterprises
The idea of enabling just common
folks TO participate in the ownership
of their city originated with Tom l.
JOhnson-the great mayor OF Cleve-
land. 1t was one of the last schemes
he figured out before his death. He
had no time TO put it into operation
in Cleveland. But he told n friend
about it. The friend wrote it down
and passed it on to the people Of st.
Paul when the time came for il to be
used. And ST. Faul is using. This is
4 i1ea as Tom Johnson dictated IL
T. friend and as the friend passed
IL st. Paul officials:
The savings of the common people
CT this country form the ocean of
credit upon which all great financial
enterprises are based. Ii builds the
railroads and the factories. The peO-
pie put il in the savings banks in the
form of small sums 1t is borrowed
from the banks in large sums by the
financial msgnates. AS a matter Of
fact the real money in this country
belongs almost entirely TO the poor
people who save only ten or fifteen
dollars at a time.
The common people Of this country
by combining such cash sums as they
have saved up, could raise a bigger
sum Of ready money than the Rookie
fellers. Goulds, Nanderbilts and all the
rest Of the millionaires combined
could produce in ten times the time ii
would take the wOrkingmen TO com
plete their fund
Now when a city issues bonds, as
il does. for almost every public i'm
prOvement, these bonds are sold 10
the highest bidders. Sometimes they
go at their face value Mostly the city
must pay a premium 10 get the money
right away. T'he bonds are good for a
term OF years and bear interest from
three TO seven per cent. The bonds
are usually in large amounts-S1,OOo
or something like that They are
seldom less than S1OO. This makes il
necessary for wealthy firm or cor
porati0n 10 bid on them. Then when
the bond dealers get them they sell
them. charging their customers g
premium IN order 20 make a profit.
Municipal bonds are n safe invest
ment, because they form a first mort
gage on every piece OF property in the
city that issues them. They are a
lien on the tax collections. In order
10 buy these bonds entire or IN large
blocks. the capitalist must use the
peoples mCney-savings IN the banks.
And in order 10 make money on them
after they are bought they must sell
them for a price greater than they
paid for them.
Now, said Tom Johnson, why not
let the people who save a little money
