1t was by reaso of correspondence
with Henry Ford, the Detroit auto
mobile manufacturer, that Thomas y.
Edison decided to be a crusader
against the cigarette. At the request
of Ford, the inventor made a ehemi-
cal analysis of at least twenty brands
of cigarettes. While the tobacco con-
tanned in them was OF all qualities,
he said, he found poison in all the
papers in which they are rolled.
This poison attacks the folds of
the brain and works havoc with a

enemy of the cigarette, but he is a

she had sung at mission meetings, to
the most critical box holder of grand
opera houses in all of the worlds
great musical centers. The purity
of her voice. employed in many
tongues, had delighted hundreds OF
thousands since the day, 40 years age
she first appeared in public as
soprano soloist at Grace church in
Boston.
Nordiea and Eames-although the
in far off China-were of old New
England stock, both claimed by the
state of Maine. and they made up a
notable American contribution to the
operate world. A farm house built
by the prima donna's great grand
father on a hill just outside the vii
lage Of Harrington. Maine, was Nor
IDEAS birthplace, in 1859. Her true
name was Lillian Norton. She chang
ed it to the Italian. Nordioa, 20
years later when she began to study
in Italy for an operate career.
After her graduation from the New
England Conservatory of Music at
Boston. and successful singing of the
leading roles in several of the ora
torios given by the Handel and
Hayden society. she went to Europe
in 1878, as a soloist with Gilmore's
band. She decided to remain in Eu-
rope and attempt an operate ca
reer. She went to Milan and became
a pupil of Sangiovanni, and within
operas.
Her debut in opera was at Brescia
in 1879, in La Traviata.' After a
trip to ST. Petersburg she appeared
for trial before Ambrose Thomas and
the impressario Vancorbeil, who en-
gagged her for the grand opera house
Ia Paris. Her first appearance there,
in 1882, as Marguerite in Faust
vas a triumph. The critics observed
her American accent, but said it gave
piquancy TO her tone. and her acting
was lauded as equal to her singing.
She returned to America and tour
ed this country with great success.
In the succeeding years she appeared
Ia onoro mr. oan9ort in almoct avarv
city of musical culture in the world.
Her repertoire included more than
fifty operas. Her success with Wag-
merriam roles became the pinnacle of
her fame. At Bayreuth in 1894 she
appeared as Elsa in "Lohengrin" and
she is, perhaps, best remembered in
that part. She received decorations
of various sorts abroad, and gifts
without number from friends at
home.
Her matrimonial ventures number
ed three. She was first married in
thy electrician and a native of her
state of Maine, whom she met in
Paris. Shortly after she had begun
separation proceeding in 1884; Cow
er disappeared. He attempted a
balloon trip across the English chan
mel. Although the balloon was later
found, nothing was eve heard OF
seen of him.
In 1896, Nine. Nordiea married
Zoltan Doeme, a Hungarian army
officer and singer. from whom she
secured a divorce in 1905.
Her third marriage was in London
in 1909 to George w. Young a veal
thy New York banker. Ii was an
nounced at that time that Nordica
would retire from the stage, but after
a honeymoon spent in part at the old
Norton homestead in Maine, she de-
cided upon a farewell concert tour of
the world. 1t was while making n

LOCAL OPTION SNAP SHOTS.
Facts and Incidents Worth Repeating
Original and Seieced.

The Wheeling Intelligner OF last We'd
nesday had the following: while I'M
der the influence of intoxicants and
after quarrel with members of his
family, according to reports, Joseph
Whitaker, a coal miner of Austen,
Preston county, W. Va, blew up his
home Sunday with a key of powder.
The building, two story residence,
the property of the Austen Coal and
Coke company, was completely wreck
ed. The wreckage caught fire and
burned to the ground in a short time.
Whitaker himself was badly burned
and is still in a serious condition, but
the remainder of the family, including
his wife and several children were not
/ injured. Whitaker was arrested but
has been released on bond
Whitaker is said to have been in
toxicated after getting some liquor
from across the Maryland line at Oak
land, and coming home began to abuse
his family. He was finally ordered to
leave the house and, according to the
story, he then secured a keg of powder
which he placed in the house and ex-
ploded. He said if he could not stay
in the house, neither could any of the
members of his family. Whitaker
used fuse that was too short and could
not get away in time to prevent injury.
The explosion shook many other build
ings nearby but little damage was done
except in the one house This is a

DRAMA OF EARTH TO BE HERE

30.h; Sept. lst and 3rd.

The greatest photoplay ever! pro-
duced is Creation" It's plot" covers
not less than a period of $4,000 years.
It's preparation has cost enormous
sums of money, and extensive travel
in foreign countries; it is the offspring
of fifty years of studious researches
and it may be seen for nothing.
A man once stood on Westminster
Bridge offering sovereins for pennies,
but he failed to conquer the superb in
credulty of the London public. To the
average man free show is not
worth seeing, and altruism is only met
with in novels. A visit to the Photo
Drama of Creation will help the cynic
to bring his ideas more into harmony
with the actual facts. There he will
find comfortable seat, pleasant music,

every reason to claim that their picture

which makes the full week of creation
equivlant to 49, 900 years; that man APP
peared toward the close OF the sixth
epoch that we are now living in the
seventh day; and that as 5000 years
have passed since the creation of Adam,
the Millennium, which is to close the
seventh epoch, is near at hand. 1t is
with this last day" of 1000 years that
the pictures mainly deal, however. the
gradual transformation Of the earth is
traced from gaseous confusion to a
proper condition to support human
life; and then follows the old story of
the fall of man, with all its consequent
miseries, hopes, joys and fears.
The complete photo-drama occupies
eight hours. two hours for each part.
and is shown to the accompaniment of
explanatory lectures and choice music
from a powerful talking machine. The
first part traces creation to the Deluge,
its causes, and on to the time of Abra-
ham. The second part begins with
Melchisedec and describes the expert
ences of the Israelites down to the
Babylonian captivity and on to the ad-
vent of Jesus Christ. Part three gives
the life of Christ. His boyhood, bap-
tism, ministry, suffering, resurrection
and oryiication. The fourth part
Illustrates the gradual completion of
creation from the close of the Jewish
Age through the Dark Ages down to
the present time and on into the future.
This exhibition marks a new depar-
ture in the methods of the evangelist;
it is the first serious attempt to utilize
the drama for religious purpose, pure

turns in hard cash. But the object of

EDITOR CONVERTED.

Hon. l.. c. Paddock, of Boulder, Colo,
editor Of the Camera, and one of the
best known newspaper men of Colorado
has created something of state sensa-
ton by coming out fatty for statewide
Prohibition.
A week ago Mr.. Paddock addressed
the City Club of Denver on the strike
situation and there declared that he
had been converted to the Prohibition
policy by the developments of the strike
situation and the good results following
the closing of the saloons in the affect
ed districts.
The change of attitude of Mr.. Pad
dock is doubly significant from the facts
that for years he has been one of the
strongest opponents of the Prohibition
reform in the state. From now, his
paper, the Camera, from being an ad-
vocate Of the license system. becomes
an advocate of the statewide Prohibi-
ton program.
In statement prepared for The New
Republic regarding the matter, Mr..
Paddock says:
MY opposition to Prohibition has
heretofore been because of my belief
that it wouldn't prohibit Recent court
decisions have convinced me that Pro-
hibition is feasible, workable scheme
for overcoming an admitted evil.
"Sane men, who believe in morality,
who have an interest in humanity and
would make men stronger and the home
happier do not oppose Prohibition on the
personal liberty platform-they only
oppose it because of a belief that it
makes for hypocrisy, law breaking and
'rot-gut' whisky.
Il hear that the supreme court has
sustained the Kansas law for exclusion
of liquors by forbidding their transporta-
ton by common carriers and that will
win over preconceived notions.

/ VlSeu the governor TO close the saloons

Logging as a necessary corollary. Result
Good order in the coal camps of the
state. The bartenders' union is not for
good order-let's make bartenders'
union imperative by making useful
citizens of the bartenders.
'The liquor dealers associations
never inveighed against violations of
early closing ordinances by saloon
keepers, therefore they stop at the law
and order program.
LET US, therefore, get rid of the
liquor dealers association by making
of the dealers producers of something
else than trouble and woe and poverty. !"

rather to enrich than despoil the public;
at once to educate and entertain.
1t is story of the greatest human
interest. The subjects chosen for
treatment are the great events of
Bible history. They deal with the ele-
mental passions of mankind, and, taken
from the profoundest book the world
has seen. touch deeper note than
anything else the motion picture has
produced. The Bible is thus seen in a
new light, and its Incidents assume a
reality which is not always conveyed by
the written word.
1t was their recognition of the grip
which the movies have secured upon
the public imagination, and their ap-
probation of their power to transform
cold print into palpitating, living things,
that led the International Bible
Students Association to make them one
of the principal instruments of their
work.
Oakland is the smallest town in the
United States thus far to be favored
with the presentation of Creation, -
the larger cities and towns being first
supplied. This has been made possible
through special efforts of the local class
of the international Bible Students
Association, cooperating with the
parent Society at Brooklyn.

Burlington was Miss Hightower, and
was married in early life. Her

in her own home. 1t became nee
