AT THE PRINCESS.

This is the final day for the pres. ent bill at the Princess, a vaudeville offering that everyone in the city ought to see before it closes it's en- gagement
 The Village Choir" those splen- did singers of the songs of yester- day, today and forever, are alone worth the price of admission. but there are four other big acts, as well. any one of which might easily be a headiiner
 The Cycling McNutts, a quintette of the most remarkable bicycle ex- perts on the present day stage, have one of the best acts of the kind ever seen in Hot Springs. From the baby cyclist ] years old, to the comedian who rides 6 sixteen-foot high wheel, and the trio of balancing cyclists their act is one of sensation from first to last
 As an added feature this afternoon Little Cammie McNutt, the baby of the cycling act, will hold a reception on the stage immediately after the matinee, at which all the children of the city are invited to meet this charming little miss who performs such wonderful feats with such ease and grace She is q charming little tot and will gladly welcome the little folks of Hot Springs.
 The Musical Geralds, playing number of stringed instruments in the most delightful manner, and also play ing thirty-four mand9iins at one time is another feature. Joe Hartman, with his comedy batter, never fails to please, while Miss Iza Hampton and company. in their novel sketch. The Woman of Tomorrow complete q bill of marked excellence and splen- did variety.
 With next Monday comes another big circuit booking. five stellar acts, all new, novel and entertaining to marked degree.
 See the present bill today. it is W orth it. and then watch for the an. nouncement of the new booking for the fore part of the week Last night was the usual big anna teur night, with six offerings by the noyices, every one of which was ap- proved by the audience and the man with the hook took an evening off.
 Master Benton Barnett rendered some excellent songs and won an en- core for himself, it being si second appearance.

 Osborn and Willis offered an ex- ceptionally good instrumental nfusi- cal act, throwing in some trick man dolin playing that was clever.
 E. B Adams, a buck and wing dancer, was one of the best amateur acts of the evening He is a remark ably clever and graceful dancer and gave splendid satisfaction. | Baby Fletcher cute and cunning, and a singer of rare ability, won nu- ,merous encores for herself with her numbers last evening, She was prob ably the most popular number on the bill. There was the usual big uproar of fun and frolic with the amateurs and amateur night was again the most popular vaudeville night of the week, with a big house despite the .1

THE ANCIENT CITY OF SARDIS

Of photographs which he took to illustrate
the progress Of the work in the Orient
This years developments were particu-
larry important in the eyes of the world
of art Several inscriptions, which it took
days to copy from the stone in which they
were chiselled, have paved the way for
deciphering previously discovered nscrip-
tons which had hitherto been undecipher-
able. Professor Ennos Littmann, formerly
Of the faculty of Princeton, and recently
a member of the faculty Of the University
of Strassburg, and who is now occupying
a chair in the University of G0ttingen, is
at present deciphering the inscriptions
which were found this year in Lydian, the
newly discovered Language.
The American party unearthed what is
supposed to be evidence of the worlds first
industrial strike The record was a
Roman inscription in Greek and was an
agreement between the strikers and their
employers whereby the strikers went back
to work under new conditions.
The work of exeavating was begun on
February 1 and lasted until the early part
of July, when the Iaborers went into the
fields. About them Professor Butler.
says THE fear which was expressed be-
fore starting the expedition in regard to
the work being disturbed by the Turko-
Italian war was entirely unfounded. Very
few of the workmen We're drafted and the
deficit was more than made good by the
great. number of Moslem refugees from the
European provinces.
The young American engineers found the
workmen willing, but often unintelligent,
which made the burden of carrying the
work through all the harder. There were
eight miles of steel rails and several der
ricks included in the apparatus used for
digging. Whenever a break occurred
and this was not an infrequent happen-I
ing-American brain and Drawn as con-
stituted in the young engineers in the
party were the only things upon which
Professor Butler could depend to get af-l
fairs in order again. While entirely UNI
used TO the climate Of Asia Minor. theI
members Of the expedition Kept in good
health This was partly due to the good
water which was available and to the ez-
ceIlent housing conditions under which
they lived. One of the first tasks of the
Princeton engineers when they arrived
WAS to build a house The site was SCI
eeted upon the side of hill and the
house built of baked clay, brick and other

available materials The whole thing
was constructed by the members of the
party.
The most important discovery Of the
year, from a scientific standpoint, was in
the form of a pedestal with a bilingual in
scription in Lydian and Greek. The I'M
earthing and deeiphering Of this inserip-
ton made for a big step forward in the
complete deciphering Of a great body of
untranslated Lydian.
This years work also resulted in COM
pletely clearing away the earth about the
Temple Of ArJemis, which was left last
year at the bottom Of a deep trench. Now
a comprehensive view of the ruins can
easily be obtained. In clearing away the
ground about the temple a number of
smaller buildings, some of which were
still more ancient than the temple itself,
were uncovered and with them some very
important Inscriptions, statuettes and
coins.
On the north side of the temple the ex-
cavators came across what they believed
to be the Sacred Way from the heart Of
the city to the building. Among the
statues which lined the street was found
a group in marble of two lions and an
eagle. The sculpture is Enthusiastically Of
native workmanship and is considered TO
form the first Lydian contribution to
scientific knowledge.
Among the later discoveries which Pro
fessor Butler regarded as important was
a Roman sarcophasus of the Sidamara
type. On the lid are TWO reclining female
figures Of life size, apparently mother and
daughter The heads are both preserved
and are the only ones which have yet been
found on sarcophagi of this type. Tie
very beautiful sides and ends are divided
into panels by delicately wrought coronets,
between which stand full S. .ed figures in
high relief and Of great beauty. This sar-
cophagus forms a very important monu-
ment in the history of sculpture in Asia
Minor during the Roman period.
In this years expedition were Professor
Howard Crosby Butler, director. n charge
of ancient sculpture and archaeology;
William H. Buckler Of England. formerly
trustee Of Johns Hopkins, engineer in

IN Ne Of the interesting sidelights on
~ the report of Howard c. Butler,
professor of art and archaeology in
Princeton University, on the results Of
the American expedition for the excava-
ton of Sardis. in Asia Minor, last spring
was the display Of remarkable resource
fulness and ability to surmount almost
impossible obstacles on the part of the
young American engineers whom PROBES
.sor Butler took with him to the Orient
When making up the personnel Of his
party Professor Butler was particularly
careful as to whom he should choose for
his engineering corps. Three young
Princeton graduates of the civil engineer
ing course found places in the party,
and to the writer who intrviewed him
Professor Butler said that they fully
Justified his selection by their subsequent
work. His cataloguer was Edward r.
Stoever, Princeton, '09, Of Philadelphia,
and William R. Berry, Princeton, 'O9, and
/. R. Page, Princeton, 10, both of Phila-
deIphia, were assistant engineers. The
other two engineers, Philip Stoever. and
Lloyd T. Emery, were also of PhiladeI-
phia
The annual expedition for unearthing
the ancient city, which probably existed
in the sixth century B. c., costs in the
neighborhood of $4,000, which is sub
scribed by prominent New York men. who,
however, contribute to the undertaking
only on the condition that their names be-
kept secret Sardis is quite a distance
inland in Asia Minor, and while the party
had railroad communication with the out
side world, all the advantages of English
and American engineering service were
lacking. The young engineers had to re-
place the broken parts of their apparatus
with their own contrvances. As Pro
fessor Butler said, they could not call
London or New York on the telephone
and get the parts they wanted" The
youthful Americans were thrown upon
their own resources, and that they made
good is shown by the results of this years
expedition. When asked how long it
would take to excavate the whole city of
Sardis Professor Butler said that fifty or
one hundred years would be required.
You see, he continued, "Sardis covers
an area OF six square miles, and our four.
expeditions there have resulted in un-i
earthing only 5000 square feet.

Mr.. Swinger placed a finger on his lips,

Mrs. Marvin's next words.
"Oh, I don't care a bit about your wire

Wellsworth did a lot of thinking. but
prudently decided to wait the result Of the
plot Presently the telephone bell in the
ladies' room booth rang. Swinger rushed
to the booth In a few seconds he rushed
out again.

said, b he whispered, unlocking the door.
Like an arrow from a bow Wellsworth
sped to the cashiers window.
Five thousand dollars on Ranooeas,'
he blurted out, when he got his chance to
bet. There were three men. ahead of him,
all betting large rolls of bills. The
cashier took WeIlsworth's $1,000 as if it
were merely little breakfast money and
threw him out a ticket He returned to
the ladies room, where he found Swinger
and Mrs. Marvin engaged in laughing at

Jolly sort both were.
A trifle over two minutes went by.
Then q voice was heard

What did tell you?7 said Swinger,
smiling anew. "Cash in for Mrs. Mar

Wellsworth went out to the cashier
with his ticket Through the window he
received six ive-thousand-dollar bills.
They looked good to him and he brought
them in to Mrs. Marvin. His pulse was
throbbing high with excitement. The
$4,000 in his own pocket was insistent for
the light of day.

WHAT THE "GEf.ToGETHER" SPIRIT
CAN DO

There is splendid, inspiring lesson for every
community in the BUY "a Bale Of Cotton -
movement in the cotton growing states of the
south. ~, I'll
AS was told in the Star Bulletin several
weeks ago, the outbreak of the war demoralized
the cotton market and threatened enormous in
dustrial disaster. A tremendous cotton crop
apparently could not be sold. Then some brainy
southerners conceived the idea of establishing
a great cooperative buying scheme, founded on
the idea of mutual aid by the people of the
United States.
What started as forlorn hope, and was
freely branded as impracticable by many bust
nessmen, is turning into a wonderful success.
1t began as a Georgia enterprise. Now the At
lanta Journal says of it: f. - =
where one bale of cotton moved three
weeks ago. thousands are moving now. They
are moving out of the Market swiftly and stead
lily, at ten cents pound And the people who
are buying them are going to hold them until
profitable prices are established More and
more cotton is in demand Less and less cotton
is for sale. The south is not to be sacrificed
The south is to be saved, fortified, enriched
and the common country will share its pros
perity. y
Says the New York Evening Post: Il '>'
1.-THE situation is at present rather more en-
couraging than it has been at any time since
September l, the beginning of the cotton year
The SOUTH then on the verge of panic, has
claimed down, tile buy "a bale movement has to
some extent relieved the poorer class of tenant
farmers, and the planters financially able to do
so win hold back as many bales as possible for
higher prices.
& Stimulation of the southern cotton-mills' is
another hopeful sign, according to the cotton
experts st.sts5.
This movement is definite illustration of
the aget1 together spirit in a progressive form

THE TWO CAMPAIGNS.

The Democratic campaign has been we'll
fnauced, well-organized, in control Of the large
forces of municipal employees, and it has not
hestated at any sort Of distortion in it's attacks
on the Republicans The Republican campaign
has been run almost without funds with less
than one-eighth of what would ordinarily be re-
garded here as fair-sized campaign fund, with
little encouragement from the g best citizens,
with little apparent support from an apathetic
electorate. 1t has been rum fairly. There is
no question that the Republicans have had a
good cause in this campaign, but its presenta-
tion has not been of the best, largely for the
reasons mentioned above. When the ballots
are counted tonight il will be seen if Honolulu
has been, under all its surface apathy, alive to
the situation and to the necessity for change
