as tells the story OF the escape OF one
Petru Cocan from Hungary when on

had gone forth that no man between
the ages OF sixteen and ffty-two should
leave the country without a passport.
Cocan, who was a Roumanian by
birth and had lived IN America. could
not get a passport. He then went to
the agent OF a transatlantic line and
bought a ticket for America on the as
surance that the agent would get him
out Of the country. After several days
OF suspense Cocan, with three other fu-
gitives, was sem to a place near the
border, where they were met according
TO agreement by a band of Roumanians
disguised as gypsy musicians, four OF
whom carried huge bass viols. The
backs were removed from the viols,
and In each there was a small seat.
Ocean and his fellow %fugitives took
their places. the backs were fastened
on the viols. and again the musicians
set out for the border. All passed the
guard safely except Cocan. His bearer
got into n dispute with a soldier Of the
guard, the quarrel waxed violent, the
bass yiol fell to the ground. the back
came of, and Cocan landed in a ditch
by the roadside. He was arrested and
sent home again.
He tried the same trick again, but on
a different road and at a place on the
border far removed from the first at

but as the musicians were crossing the

MAKE COLLARS LONGER.
Saloon Men of Kenosha First to Feel
the Result of the War Tax.

Kenosha is beginning to pay the
price of democratic tariff as the saloon
men of the city are having the beer
sold to them at an advanced price and
the man who has been accustomed to
measure "collars'' on the schooners
has found out that one thing that has
come from the war tax already is the
increased size Of the collars. The beer
tax of fifty cents barrel is now be-
ing collected and it is of course being
charged to the saloon keepers. The
profit has been cut down on the beer
and the saloon men have found it nee
essary to make the glasses smaller or
the collars of foam larger. Tt is de-
clared that the new war tax has
sounded the death knell Of the tcan
and that In the future the can will be
a forgotten luxury. Already the men
who frequent saloons have noticed the
effect of the tax. It is said that the
price of bottled beer will not be af-
fected as the tax on this is but FIVE
cents for each twenty bottles. Other
provisions of the war tax will 90 into
effect on the first day of December and
then the effect of it will be felt by

FTsKE o'HARA FRIDAY NIGHT,

Fiske O'Hara, who is rated as one
of the best tenors on the American
Estage, although he prefers to shine in
dramatic work, viii be seen at the
Rhode Friday night of this week, in a
new romantic Irish play by Augustus
IPitou, ST., entitled, "Jack's Ro-
nance" OF course, Mr.. O'Hara will
have his usual fine collection of Irish
melodies to offer his admirers, in
which his luscious tenor voice will be
heard to excellent advantage. The
part of Jack Connolly, the parsonage
around which the story revolves, is one
of the most rollicking and picturesque
characters ever protrayed in an Irish
play. He prevents highwayman from
Irobbing a coach, assists several worthy
peasants to get back money of which
they have been robbed, traps the dis
honest secretary of his elder brother
and then wins the beautiful Lady Con.
stance in the most dashing manner.
Mr.. O'Hara carries fine company and
the piece is staged in most lavish
manner. advdw
