STAGE ILLUSIONS.
Not the Least Of These Are the Ban
Duets on the Boards.

Not the Least of These Are the Ban
quets on tho Boards.
Nothing is so deceptive as the stage
meal, although the art OF the property
man makes such repasts appear de
liciously appetizing.
A favorite stage substitute for meat
is sponge cake. which cut into the
shape OF outlets OF steaks and Judi
ciously Drowned with sauce, presents
most genuine appearance. The adj
vantage of such material is that Ii IL
easy for the actors to consume and
does not present any difficulties TO the
carver
Outlets composed Of soft toast are
also popular In stage culinary circles,
and when decorated with dainty paper
frils and parsley look quite the real
thing.
Do not let your mouth water at the
sight Of those dainty slices OF ham re-
posing on lettuce leaves on the baron's
festive board. Ham is invariably rep.
resented on the stage by strips OF limo
leum, the reddish under side of which
makes a convincing substitute for the
real article. AS to the surrounding let.

The larger and more impressive the
stage edible, the greater the fake. Huge
pies which when cut produce a cloud
Of realistic steam are absolutely uneat-
able. The crust is merely colored pa
pier mache. which incloses a dish OF
hot water and sometimes few boiled
potatoes, which supply the necessary
steam. The big sirloin of beef. which
apparently weighs pounds, has about
six ounces Of eatable meat about IL.
The Joint Is wooden affair, over
which few thin slices Of genuine beef
are plr ed. giving the impression OF a
really fine piece of meat.

Troy SchooIboy Box Artist Failed to
Repeat His Performance of
Previous Game.

Bennington beat Hoosick Falls at
Morgan park yesterday afternoon by
a score of 6 to 2. The game was de-
layed by the failure of two Hoosick
Falls players to make connections
and it was necessary for Umpire
Mackey to make the announcement
when the New Workers had two Ben
nington high school boys, Murphy
and Scott, in the outfield. The boys
went through an inning before the de-
linquent players arrived and Muir
ply had an assist on relayed ball
from right field that caught Prindle
at third base.
Ahearn, the Troy schoolboy pitch
er who proved something of puz-
zle the first time he faced the
Huckleberry outfit. did not make
such good showing yesterday. The
vermonters hit him for Is bingles
and in the fourth, sixth and seventh
they came in punches.
Peloquin, who pitched for Ben
nington, got away for a bad opening,
giving a free ticket and being hit
for a pair of singles In the first in
ming. With the bases full, however,
he started fast double play that
retired the side, with only one run.
The fifth was the other period in
which the New Workers managed to
secure two hits which gave them a
second tally.

NET SCORE is 51.2 TO 3
English Cavalry Officers Fall to Live
up to Regulations In Team
Play.

New York, June 10.-The Ameri-
can cup-defending team yesterday
won the opening game Of the sixth
information match, IL goals to 3,
at Westbury, L. l. A better idea OF
the actual difference in the playing
ability of the two teams is shown
by the gross score, which was to
3 in favor of the defending foul.
Much to the surprise Of the specta-
tors and pole experts the English
players did not show the Wanted
team play which had been credited
to them before the game. Neither
did their ponies outclass the Ameri-
can mounts. In fact the reverse was
quite the case and in almost every
run downfield the American players
either held their own or outrode
their competitors in the race for
the ball.

American four with Larry Water

peared unable to work together con-
sistently, due in all probability to
the close covering" of the Ameri-
cans. Hardly had the game begun
before it was seen that the odds of
s to 5 on the Englishmen were not
warranted. for the big four" carried
the play into the English end Of the
field and kept the invaders so busy
defending their goal that offensive
tactics on the part of the challeng-
ers were temporarily out of the
question.
The drives of the Americans were
made both with excellent. direction
and length, and they never appeared
to have difficulty in hooking the ball
out of scrimmages. The Englishmen
apparently were stunned by the
fierceness of the cup defenders at
tack and failed to hold together in
team work. The three goals scored
in the first period went to the Unit
ed States and 1t was not until the
second period that the English four
got going.

STATE CAN FIX RATES
U. S. Supreme Court Decides Mime
sofa Case.


Washington, June 9.--The power
of the States to fix reasonable intra-
state rates on interstate railroads,
until such time as Congress- shall
choose to regulate these rates. was
upheld today by the Supreme Court
OF the United States in the Mime
sofa freight and passenger rate
cases.
At the same time the court laid
down far-reaching principles govern
ing the valuation of railroad proper
ty for rate-making purposes, and &C.
cording to these held that the State
of Minnesota would confscate the
property of the Minneapolis &c st.
Louis Railroad company by it's maxi
mum freight and two-cent passenger
fare law. 1t enjoined the State
from enforcing these laws, as to this
road, for the present. In the cases
of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern, however, the court held
that these roads had failed to show
that the rates were unreasonable"
or confiscatory, and consequently re-
versed the United States district
court for Minnesota, which had en-
Joined their enforcement as both
confiscatory and a burden on inter
state commerce.
The decision, regarded as one of
the most important ever announced
by the court, had been under con-
sideration for IA months. Rail
road commissions from eight States
and the governors of all the States
filed briefs in support of the State
in the cases, recognizing that the
principles involved affected them all.

WOMAN SHOT AND.
KILLED IN RIOT
AT IPSWICH
Five More Wounded In Clash
With Police
OFFICERS FIRE ON MOB
English Speaking Operatives At
tackled by Strikers When Leaving
Hosiery Mill.

Ipswich, Mass, June 10.-One wo-
man was shot and killed, seven
other persons were wounded by bull
lets and many others, including sew
eral policemen were hurt by flying
missiles in a strike riot outside the
Ipswich hosiery mills last night. Fiji
teen persons, including leaders Of
the industrial workers of the world
were taken into custody.
The dead woman was Miss Nicolet-
ia Paudelopoulou, 81, who was a
spectator of the fight. Five of the
wounded were hurried at once TO
the Salem hospital IA miles distant
in an automobile. They were place.
upon the operating table before their
identity had been learned.
The actual fighting did not last
over five minutes. The disturbance
started when 500 English-speakine
employees left the mills at the end of
their days work. They were met by
groups of pickets under the leader
ship of the industrial workers OF
the world who have been conduct
ing strike at the plant for 20 per
cent increase in wages.
When the pickets began to joste
the employees, the force Of 30 police
men on duty interfered but were un-
able to restore order. Bricks and
bottles began to fly, as the police
charged the mob on Saltonstali
street. At this moment, according
to spectators, shots were fired from
two tenement houses overlooking
the scene, occupied by mill hands.
Officers in the street began firing
and the mob broke and fed. Sew
eral victims of bullet wounds were
stretched on the pavement. Blood
was trickling down the faces of
many of the officers where broken
bottles and bricks had hit them.
Miss Paudelopoulou was removed
to physicians Office, where she
died just before O'Clock without
regaining consciousness. Physicians
who examined her said that she had
been shot through the top of the
head. She was leaving her work at
Browns Essex mill when attracted
by the crowd in front of the Ipswich
mill, she walked down the street to
see what was the matter. Standing
on the outskirts of the crowd she
was caught in the backward rush
and before she could get away, was
shot down.
Among the Is persons taken into
custody during the disturbance were
Nathan Hermann, an organizer for
the industrial workers of the world,
who conducted the recent strike at
Little Falls, N. Y, and Mr.sand Mrs.
Z. l.. Pingree. Pingree is secretary
of the industrial workers of the
world in Lowell.
The strike at the Ipswich mill was
called by the Industrial workers of
the world over seven weeks ago.
After minor outbreaks the workers
returned last week without having
made any settlement At the same
time they repudiated the industrial
workers organization and trampled
the flag of that body under foot.
A little later Organizer Hermann
went to Ipswich to take charge of
the situation, and 500 Italians and
100 Greeks again left the mills. The
English speaking employees, number
ing 800. remained at work.
