500, 900 MELODRAMA
TO THRILL AT SCHUBERT

The most sensational and spectacu-
lar melodrama that has ever been
staged comes to the Shubert Theatre
on Monday evening in 1.-THE Whip"
the great 800, 900 Drury Lane Theatre,
London, success that played two solid
wears in London and one whole sea-
son at the Manhattan Opera House,
New York, gaining the plaudits OF
press and public alike because of the
novelty of the mammoth stage pic
lures. It is full of thrills and laughs,
and stirs audiences accustomed to
being bored and blase to the utmost
pitch.
The story of the play has to do with
the Marquis Of Beverly, an owner and
breeder of race horses, who is going
to enter his favorite, THE Whip" In
an event for two thousand guineas at
Newmarket. His granddaughter,
Lady Diana Sartoris, is being wooed
by Captain Sartoris, an INSCRIPTIONS
villain, and Lord Brancaster, who
owns a neighboring estate. After an
automobile accident, through which
Lord Brancaster loses his memory of
the events of the past few weeks, he
is brought to Lady Diana's home, and
while being nursed there finds favor
in her eyes.
To put his rival out of the running,
Captain Sartoris plots with a certain
Mrs. D'Aquila, an adventures, and
marries her, using Lord Brancaster's
name. Just as the engagement OF the
two young people is announced Mrs.
DAquila comes forward and pro-
claims that she is Lord Brancaster's
wife.
At this juncture Lord Brancaster
gets a tip from Lady Diana that 1.-THE
Whip" will win the coming race. He
wagers all his fortune on the race,
and, hearing of this, Captain Sartoris
plans to have the horse wrecked on
the way to Newmarket. and accom-
plishes this by uncoupling the box
car carrying the animal. It is res
cued Just in time, for the following
express crashes into the car and
breaks 1t into splinters.
Undaunted Captain Sartoris has the
jockey who will ride the horse ar
rested a few minutes before the race,
but the enthusiastic crowd snatch the
jockey from the hands of the sheriff
and toss him on The Whip, who wins
the race. Everything, of course. ends
happily.
The spectacular nature of the play
lends to some of the most remarkable
stage effects ever attempted success
fully on the stage. These include a
scene at the Olympic horse show, an
automobile accident, the great train
wreck and the racing scene. These
last two are triumphs of realism, as
real locomotives and tracks are used
in the collision and live horses at
the race course Nothing like either
of them has ever been seen before In
England or In this country.

SCREAMINGLY FUNNY FARCE

An overland limited train with a

experience of these passengers and
the train crew on the journey make
the theme of Excuse Me-" the farce
by Rupert Hughes. which comes to
the Newark Theatre during the week
of October 6.
In New York the play proved to be
so much of a novelty. and SO uproar-
iously laughter provoking. that 1t re-

VAUDEVILLE TO BE GIVEN
AT EAST ORANGE LYCEUM

That the experiment of a moving
picture playhouse in East Orange is
a decided success has been attested
by the patronage during the initial
week of the Lyceum. The long lines
of automobiles at the afternoon and
evening performances suggest a
turnout of folk for a society func-
ton.
The management, which is en-
deavoring to secure for patrons the
best features of the moving picture
world, has announced that within a
short time, as soon as stage arrange
ments are completed, vaudeville will
be introduced on different evenings
A definite statement of plans for the

Appendicitis Turks in Water

PARIS, Sept. 27-Prominent scien-
tific men here suggest in a publica-
ton today that appendicitis is due to
the habit, prevalent in recent years
of drinking large quantities of water
1t is pointed out that less than one
in 200 wine drinkers is affected.
while among water drinkers the pro-
portion is said to be as high as 10 PEI
cent.
1t is contended that wine acts as ar
antiseptic and reduces the number OF
bacilli in the body. These bacill
when they become too numerous are
said to produce appendicitis.

KINDS Watch in Pawn.

A time-honored London tavern, the
Castle, at the corner Of Cowcross
street, facing harrington street, en-
joys the unique distinction of being
also fully-licensed pledge shop.
Over a door in the bar, which gives
access to the landlords private room,
and thrown into bold relief by the
official document behind it, the his.
toric three-sphered symbol is dis
cernible. Anyone may here negotiate
loan upon his personal belongings
without being under the necessity OF
first calling for refreshment.
This strange combination of bust,
ness dates from the reign of George
~, who, after attending a cock fight
at Hockley-in-the-Hole, applied to the
landlord of the castle for temporary
accommodation on the security Of his
watch and chain.
By royal warrant a few days later
he invested that obliging boniface
with the right of advancing money on
pledges, and from that time down to
the present a pawnbroker's license
has been annually granted to the
Castle. This hostelry is mentioned
once or twice by Dickens.-Stray

R. |. s. IN THE ADiRONDACKs
Stevenson, While Fighting Off Dis.
ease There, Seemed Indifferent
to the Laws of Health.

Robert Louis Stevenson, for so wise
a man, seems to have been singularly
unaware of, or Indifferent to, the laws
Of health, but that, too, may have
been part of his wisdom. He spent
the winter of 1887 in the Adirondacks
struggling against the disease which
was not to subdue him for seven
years. He lived in little cottage that
was much overheated and from which
all ventilation was carefully excluded
The smoke of his incessant cigarettes
obscured the atmosphere and perhaps
helped to drive away the visitors who
came to gaze upon him as one gazes
at lion in den. Fashionable call
ers were specially unwelcome and
Stevenson once remarked, according
to an account in the Medical Record
that "it isn't the great unwashed
which I dread, but the great washed" ,"
But whoever else was unwelcome
there was always greeting for Rich
ard Mansfield. 1t is an impressive, al
most tremendous picture, that of the
clouded room fitfully lit by the flames
of the log fire and Stevenson huddled
close to the warmth while Mansfield
at the other end of the rooom gave his
weird impersonation of DR.. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde. 1t must have been like
God looking upon his handiwork and
finding it good.

HUNTING FOR BLACK 0PALs
Gem Is Found in Matrix of ironstone
and Sandstone in Australia
Sapphires Rank Next.

The gem most sought after in Aus
tralia is the black opal, declares a
writer in the Daily Consular and
Trade Reports. 1t appears in limited
quantities in the matriX of ironstOne
and sandstone in the Lightning Ridge
district of New South Wales. 1t is
estimated that since 1890 opals val
in the state of New South Wales. The
state of Queensland also produces
many opals, the production up to the
present time amounting to nearly
$1,900,00O.
Sapphires rank next among Aus
tralian gems in value of production.
They are found in New South Wales
and in Queensland, chiefly in the lat
ter state, in the gravel or creek beds.
The gems show excellent fire and
luster, but the color is darker blue
than the oriental sapphire In Queens
land the present production amounts
to about $4,000 per year, the total
output to date being about 100000.
Other precious gems found in diff
ferent parts of Australia include emer-
aids, turquoises, topazes, ircons, gar
nets, rubies, amethysts tourmalines
and beryls. Diamonds are found to
limited extent in New South Wales
and in South Australia. In the latter
state the total production up to date
has been somewhat over $500,000.
These diamonds found locally are
used mostly for glass cutting, while
South African diamonds are mostly
found in pearl shall fishing along the
northern coast of Australia are usual
ly small, but their aggregate value is
probably considerable.

ALL AUTHORS ARE TALKATIVE
If You Know One, Be Tactful and Let
Him Converse About His
Work.

I know nothing about really great
authors, but I think I speak for a
large number of the followers of the
trade when I say that they like to
talk about their work, one great rea-
son being that writing is a lonely pro-
tession. If you write, as a rule you
must do it by yourself; or if you do
attempt it in company, you or the
company will be sorry. Therefore,
when the writing is done, and SYM
pathetic listener offers, the writer is
glad to wipe out some of the lonely
hours with little conversation.
So, if you know an author, don't be
too breathless about his calling; treat
him like human being. Let him talk
q little, and do not be shocked if he
manages to keep the tears back when
he tells you about his last short
story. Only, be tactful.
Do not say, as an eager acquaint
ance once said to me: ooh, I do think
1t is so interesting to write. 1t must
be just fascinating when your manu-
scripts come back!" I discovered af-
terward that she meant proofs in
stead of manuscripts, but the mistake
Of just that single word made me,
who am usually so garrulous about
my trade, feel for the time being that
really did not care ever to speak
of it again. So I repeat, let the poor
author talk, but be tactful.-Atlantic
Monthly.

TARIFF
FOSTERS FRAUDS
Domestic Cotton Fabrics Sold
Americans as Imported"
CHEATING The CONSUMER

Less Than Per Cent Comes From
Abroad, but Americans Pay Ex-
orbitant Price For Home Goods Be-
cause Of Deception and Prohibitive
Tariff.
BY ROBERT KENNETH MAC LEA,
Formerly consulting expert OF the tariff
board.
New York, Aug. The prohibitive
tariff, revised upward by the Payne.
Aldrich law, permits and fosters
wholesale frauds upon the American
consumer of cotton goods.
Less than per cent Of the cotton
fabrics consumed in the United States
comes from abroad, because the pro
tective duties have been made so high
that Importation is Improbable.
Yet fully one-third OF the cotton
piece goods going over retail counters
is solSk as "IMPORTED" or under
names EnpIving foreign origin.
This deception is generally perpe-
trated upon the consumer for the pur
pose OF obtaining exorbitant prices tor
domestic goods.
The consumer, believing the goods
are imported and knowing that the
tariff adds excessively to their cost,
pays so to 100 per cent more than
fair price and does not suspect that he
is being cheated.

Let us go straight to specific ex-
