These ingen- ious instruments of death add con siderab1y to the mystery the police are called upon to solve in the play. As a background for this story is the social problem of the young woman who is convicted of a crime, goes to prison and serves the term infuIl, only to be persecuted by the police who thwart her honest endeayor to earn d reputable livelihood.

Coming Attractions Ali Local PlayhOuSeS
POLI's = VAUDEVILLE
CBy the Pon Press Aeent.1

Poli's New Theatre will have for the coming week a bill which will have the snap of a live wire when it hits the street. The sensation of the week will be the Picchiani Troupe of aero bats-probabIy the worlds greatest European sensation in the way of gymnasas, seven people in all, with a knowledge of acrobacy unequa1led in the annals Of showdom.
 Another act of unusual magnihcence will be Electro, the woman wizard Of electricity, who with her clever ex- pertments with electricity will not only startIe the audience but with the aid of several assistants will introduce much unique and pleasing comedy. An added attraction to a bill which covers the whole gamut of vaudeville varia- ton will be Alice Hanson, eccentric comedienne.
 As a counterpart Bert K Forrest has been engaged for this bill to show what real comedy is like from an art fst. That real harmony may not be omitted from the inclusive offering, DeItoreIIi and Glisando, the original musical clowns, will appear. For a finishing number Wi1kens and Will kens, very lively and amusing cou- pie, will put over a singing and danc- ing act

MEMS CHOIR FORMED AT
 ST. GEoRGEs CHURCH

A new choir has been formed at St. Georges Episcopal church, Colorado avenue, for special services. The Lay men in the parish, has asked for a service especially for men on one. Sum- day evening each month, and has formed large choir of men entirely for this and other special services.
 Some of the grandest church music in the world is rendered by choirs of mems voices exclusively, as everyone knows who has ever attended a ser vice in a Russian church. They de- veIop a spirit and a power not at- tainable by the usual mixed choirs.
 The new choir will serve for the first time at the annual service of the Girls Friendly Society at St. Georges church on Sunday evening at 7:S0 to which the general public will be well comed, special invitations having been extended to the branches of the so- ciety in other parishes in the city.

 Paul McAl1ister will play the role of Wilbur Emerson. In this viri1e character MT. McAllfster will have one as well suited to him as was that of CoHingwood in last weeks play.
 Brenda Fowler, who by now is cas- fly the most popular stock leading wo- man who ever appeared locally, will play the part of Catharine Darwin. She will appear to advantage again in this emotional role.
 Marguerite Starr will have a more nkable role, in the part of Emerson's s sister while William Forrestelle, the Bridgeport boy who has made more than good, will appear as Giles Ray nond, a good natured son of the open. Arthur Buchanan will play the part of Emerson Senior and the other pop ular members will all be seen in most fascinating parts.

CAN'T PENETRATE MYSTERY OF DEATH

Despite the activities of the police and other authorities. little new light
 has been shed on the mysterious case
 of the unknown man whose death, un- der strange circunastancess occurred at St. VIncent's hospital this week. William s. Cortright'' or William Smith neither of which names is thought to be correct died at 1 o'clock
 Thursday afternoon, having slowly weakened from the time Of his ad-
 mission on the 18th Of May. To a sense of pain he was conscious to the very last though he was unable to speak or even move his limbs after
 being put to bed.
 That he was subject to trance, g
 that weird state between life and
 death which is occasionally encounter cd, was at first supposed but every
 known test was made and eventually the full symptoms of actual death
 displayed themselves.
 An autopsy performed by Medical Examiner S. M Garlick, assisted by
 Drs. Cur1ey, Finnegan and Haskell,
 failed to reveal in any part of the
 anatomy any lesion which would ac-
 count for the aphasic state or any
 cause for actual death. It is said that
 although he was apparently along in years the vital organs were in the condition of those Of a man in his prime. No indication of poison was
 present in the viscera and though death must be ascribed to paralysis of the heart muscles such a condition is
 somewhat discredfted It is simply one of those mysterious deaths of | which there is apparently no exp1ana- ton. Tn medical history similar in | stances have been recorded but seldom come under local observation. Nor can the police of this city find where the man came from, or who he might be- There was nothing about his person to indicate his identity other than the initials 'fW. SD tatooed Sergt. Flood of the Third precinct sta- ton wandering upon State street at 3:3O in the morning, apparently in a 1 de1mented condition, some passer-b said he thought the man was called l s'Courtright." To a question later put at random asking if his name was William Smith he made a slight in- clination of the head.
 l First taken to Lakeview home as demented, Dr. Andrew McQueneey at once devfned he was a subject for i the hospitals and he was taken to St. Vincent's. There tests showed he was partially para1ized although sensitive | to the prick of a needle. He never regained his speech.
 The body is at the CuIlinan & Null lins morgue on Main street, where it is hoped that someone may recognize some explanation as to the strange ail- ment which the doctors are unable to I fathom.

NEW TUNNEL UNDER ALPS
TO HELP TOURISTS IN SEE
. ING EUROPE QUICKLY.

Tourists who are seeing Europe
this summer in q mad race against
time may save three hours on their
schedule as a result of the, opening
of the new Lotschberg tunnel through
the Alps on June 20. The United
States consul general at Zurich, Swift
erland, reports as follows:
Three express trains are run from
Nancy, France, through Berne to Mi
Ian, time eleven hours; n a new
service will be established between
Italy and central and southern Switz-
erland on one hand, he north of
France and England on the other. by
There will also be a direct service be-
tween Milan and Brussels. About
three hours will be saved by his
route on the journey from London TO
Milan n Genoa. The new itinerary
through Switzerland will be Dele. on
the ~Franco-Swiss frontier, Biel
(Biene), Berne, Thun, to Spiez. where
the Lotschberg line begins, thence
through the new tunnel and the Sim
plon tunnel to Isella on the Italian
frontier.
"The tunnel is the third longest in
Europe, measuring over nine and a
quarter miles, and the cost of the new
line was over SIT, 900, 900. the tunnel
alone costing nearly $40, 900. 900. Elec-
u IL tIdtllOn Will DC uSSu OH Tic Ilt"
route from SpieZ to Domodossola,
Italy, the electric locomotive being
constructed by the Oerlikon Machine
works, near Zurich. The weight of the
locomotives is 112 tons and they are
fitted with two motors of 5000 horse
power weighing twenty-seven tons
each. the cost OF construction being
about $45,000, or twice that Of an or
dinarysteam engine. The overhead or
trolley system is employed, a current
of $4,000 volts being carried. The To-
comotives are capable of pulling a
train weighing $40 tons up the maxi
mum grades of 81 per 1000 at the
rate Of thirty-one miles an hour.
According to the antiCipations of
the French press, the new railway ar
terry will greatly increase the volume
of trade between France and Italy, as
it will bring the northern and more
industrial part of the republic into
direct communication with the PENN
Sula. Italy lacks above all things
iron and articles made therefrom, and
these have hitherto been imported
through the St. Gothard tunnel route
from Germany, but the important
French iron works in the basins Of
Briey and Longwy may now be able
to compete. At present the imports
into Italy from Germany under this
head amount to $4,000 tons annually,
compared with $4,000 tons from
France"

It is especially nice when travelling to

This design offers a conyentionat
flowret as its basic idea and some scroll
work to carry out the design. The work
will be done in French style, although
the flowers may be of buttonhoIe stitch
or of outline work. For such an article

than white, especially if a natural linen
be used for the bag. Browns and green's
