"a Butterfly on the Wheel. ="

"A Butterfly on the Wheel" which,
has been played in London and New
York, will be shown to local theater-
eoers at the Grand son. The produ-
GERS are responsible for having
brought "A Butterfly on the Wheel
to New York last season and TO them,
and of course the authors of the
piece. should go the credit for hay
ing brought out the most dramatic
play Of the year.
The story concerns itself with a
foolish little wife whose husband. n
member OF British Parliament, while
h" trusts her, devotes most OF hts
time to politics. The wife Is given
full freedom which she abuses but
without evil intent. A former sutton.
Roderick Collingwood, Is still in love
with her and as she finds much pleas.
ure in his company they jointly ar
range many secret meetings. On one
occasion Collingwood plans that she
should become separated from n par
ty travelling to Switzerland, with the
result that Pegg (the wife) and Col
lingwood find themselves alone IN
Paris. They go to hotel and dur
ing Intervening Peggy, meaning no
harm allows Collingwood to come
into her apartment.
Adamst0n tthe husband} back In
London has been notified IN an an
onymous letten that Collingwod plans
Just such a thing. He calls up his
wife over the telephone and Colling-
wood takes up the receiver. This
sets the husband on his way to Paris
where he arrives the next morning
and spurns his wife. Then follows
the suit for divorce. The trial, which
occurs In the third act. is wonderful
~ depicted. There is shown the full
court room-presiding Judge. coun-
scllors. witnesses and Jurors. Peggy
is occupying the witness box. She Il
confronted by mass Of evidence
which has been collected by hired
detective who followed her to Paris.
The audience is convinced that the
wife Is innocent: therefore their sym.
pathy is with her. This arouscs keen
interest In the trial which soon re
solves itself into cross fire between
the prosecuting counsel and the wit
ness. She makes frequent appeals to
the court for protection, but In each
instance is told to answer questions
and make no criticism. In the end,
however, she collapses, her little
body falling over the rail OF the wit
ness stand. =.

came an African missionary herself
and sailed away from England with
the two sailor men-whose education
was now completed-and three other
missionaries.
Mrs Kilham taught and preached
Christianity in Sierra Leone and In
1880 after several trips back and
forth set out from England on her
last voyage. She had secured per-
mission to take charge of all chill
dren rescued by British vessels from
slave ships and she established a
school for them in Africa. In 1882,
when going from Liberia to another
point on the coast of Africa, the ves-
sci which was carrying her was
struck by lightning. The boat put
back for Liberia to repair the slight
damage that had been done, but Mrs.
Kilham was shocked beyond recovery
and, though she started out again af-
ter the repairs were made, she died
at sea few days later.
She was one of the pioneers in the
field Of African missions and was
noted for her systematic, sensible
work among the natives.

On the second udy Ol the StSSloIl
Weed discovered that his neighbour
Mr.. Livingston, had given up his seat
and had in fact paid the representa-
tive from one of the remote rural
districts of the State twenty five dol
lars as an inducement to the farmer
to swap seats with him.
Mr.. Weed was deeply wounded by
this action. for he had reason to sus-
pect that the aristocratic Livingston
did not want to be seated beside the
young member from Rochester,
which at that time was just begin
ming to give the hint of the growth
and influence which the village was
to attain within a few years.
Some weeks after the session
opened Mr.. Weed introduced a bill
containing proposed measures in
which the citizens of Rochester and
the Genesee Valley were deeply in
terested. Upon the passage of this
bill and it's enactment into law Mr..
Weed based his hope of success as
a member of the Legislature.
The measure was referred to spe-
cial committee named by the speak

years later Mr.. Weed recalled the
circumstance while chatting with

Mrs. Hannah Kilham, the African
missionary. was born in England in
1774 and at the age of 10 years was
busy doing the housework for her
widowed father and five brothers. At
"a she married a widower founder of
the new Methodist connection''-a
man of somewhat acrid disposition
who died eight months after their
marriage. Mrs. Kilham was thrown
upon her own resources and opened a
day school. In 1902 she became a
Quaker, and fifteen years later she
established the Society for the Bet
tering of the Conditions of the Poor, 4"
one of the first up-to-date philan-
thropies, upon which many later
charities were modelled.
About this time Mrs. Kilham's at
tention was turned to Africa, first
through her acquaintance with two
native African sailors who were be-
ing educated in England. Through
the aid of these men she studied the
native languages of Africa and pub
lished a grammar of the Jaloof and
Mandingo dialects for the benefit of
prospective African missionaries. Six
years later Mrs. Kilham actually be-

HOROSCOPE.
TUESDAY. August IL, 1913.
Let not moon nor sun
Mar work well begun.

This is a day of slight astral intlu-
ence for either good or i'll, the astrol-
ogers say. While the sun and moon
are in an aspect mildly adverse IRA
nus is friendly.
According the the seers wise men
and wise women will pursue their
usual routines of work and recreation,
avoiding ventures of every sort.
The sun sends influences sufficiently
malefic to make it important to guard
against heat prostrations, and other
sudden illnesses.
Speculation of every sort is under
an evil rule today. The aspect is con-
ducive to loss.
Women should exercise caution and
wisdom in all their affairs The stars
promise little in the way of happy ro-
mances today.
There is an suspicious sign for
travel connected with business or in
the interests of science
Social reform work should benefit
