Cynthia, a proud, aristocratic little

also gets tired of her old dolls house,
which she calls Racketty- Packetty
House because it is falling to pieces

fact that the dolls house had once
been the treasured plaything of her
grandmother.

dolls house, which she calls Tidy

and ladies, she decides to break

'SAPPHO' TO
BEPLAYED

"Sappho." that classic love-story,
which is so we'll known that it never
grows old, will be played tonight by
Miss Virginia Brissac and her COM
pany. The Olga Nethersole version of
Alphonse Daudet's famous story will
be given, and Miss Brissac is said to
be a good successor to the fair Olga,
who made "Sappho" famous.
The play, which has a distinctly
French atmosphere, opens with ball
room scene in the French court.
"Sappho" calls for a very large cast
and magnificent scenery and the Bijou
theater stage will be a very lively
place the entire evening. The Worlds
Fair Stock company is said to be very
happily cast in this love drama.

Find Her, Discovered with
Soldier Sweetheart in Coast

appealed some days ago to the sherih

C. Ellis and Anna Machadro.
Long Police Search.
After the girls disappearance, early
n December, Mrs. AlVes notified the
San Francisco police and notice was
sent to nearby towns. The Stockton
police discovered. the whereabouts OF
the man and girl and arrangements
were made for their arrest on Tuesday
night
When the officers arrived at their
lodgings they found that Benton had
fed, having heard word of the coming
arrest. The girl was furious at being
taken into custody and asserted she
would kill herseI-, actually making an
attempt to throw herself from a win
dow in the presence Of the police.
Her mother was telegraphed and
Immediately went to Stockton. She
met her daughter at the probation
home, whittier the girl had been TAX

with joy at the reunion.
Love for Soldier.
The girl, however, took the meet
ing very calmly and assured her moth
er that, while she was quite willing
to accompany her to San Francisco in
the absence of Benton, she loved the
man and did not regret her indiscre-
ton
At the time of the girls disappear
ance she was employed in the same
department store with her mother.
She went to lunch one day and did not
return, nor to her home, 2916 Bush

Once more we hear talk of unsinkable ship

inventor claims to have solved the problem, put
his experiments have been confined to a small
model only four feet in length and nine inches
wide SO the problem of applying his system 10
vessel 500 or 1000 feet in length is by no means
solved.
Few people outside of practical shipbuilders and
navigators understand the difference between
large vessel and small one in point of structural
strength The strongest vessel that floats In the
water is a common rowboat One can take an or
binary rowboat and carry it by the ends or IL
can rest on ceats under each end without break

or ocean liner that floats today would break IN

a vessel the weaker 1t becomes In this respect.
and for this reason many apparently good ideas
which work out we'll In model form have failed
utterly when applied to large vessels
1t is doubtful II any real progress in building
ships has been made since the days of the Great
Eastern as far as the use of watertight compart
ments and bulkheads is concerned. The designer
of the Great Eastern divided that vessel into eel
lular compartments. and no Improvement on this
plan has as yet been made, although 1t is not used
extensively because 1t requires too many hatches
for the loading and unloading of cargo
The invention to which reference has been
made consists of surrounding the vessel with
watertight belt divided into cells for the purpose
