Michael Morton's play The Yellow
Ticket" which was presented to WASH
ington Audience for the first time last
night at the New National Theater is
first and foremost q feast of propaganda
from which falls the crumbs OF the ia
miliar axiom concerning the wages OF
sin. which, even In the land Of the Czar,
is death the piece being violently anti
Russian in theme and spirit, and de-
cIareo by its author to be based upon
knowledge acquired by him while resi-
dent in the country where the Jew is
held in chronic disfavor and subjected
to energetic persecution
Around these ideas the English play
wright has woven the story Of a Jewish
girl, whose father is lying at the point
Of death in a hospital in St Petersburg,
Su: who is herself prohibited from re-
siding in the capital unless she accepts
the yellow ticket. which is the badge Of
prostitution in Russia, and the symbol
from which the play takes its title
Having accepted the certificate Of pro-
fessionsI Unchastity IN order to be near
her father, the heroine offends the ofti-
ciAls by trying 10 live a decent life-
The first scene is laid in the sitting
room Of a hotel in St Petersburg ten
anted by Mr.. Seaton, rich Englishman,
and his daughter Margery. who is en-
is taking lessons in the Russian Ian
guage from Marya Varenka, the refined
and educated young Jewess who is the
central figure Of the story. Among the
guests who arrive at the Seaton apart
ment in time for the serving of after
noon tea, besides Count Rostov. are
Baron Audrey, Chief OF the Okrana (or
Russian secret police, and Julian Rolfe'
an American newspaper correspondent
They are all friends OF the Seatons.
Here also comes Paviak, an agent of the
Okrana, in secret understanding with
Audrey, his chief both of whom are
ANNOYED not only because Marya has de-
frauded the amorous Muscovites of their
carnaI diversion. but also because they
suspect her of being at the bottom of
reports which young Rolfe has sent to
America on the subject of Russian cul-
ture and customs. Paviak spreads con-
sternation in the Seaton household by
suddenly demanding her passports OF
Marya, and the first act closes with the
exit of the girl in disgrace from the home
of her employer.
The second act. which is Ia TOsca'
UP to date. transpires in the Hchly fur
nished apartment of Baron Audrey. TO
which Marya fees for the promised pro-
lection of the chief of the Okrana, be-
liering in his offer of help il she is again
molested by the police, but finding her
self more certainly bound to her yellow
ticket than ever when alone with him in
his apartment, where, in defense Of her
honor, she Stabs him to death with her
ha: pin.

undoubtedly spared no expense in Great
ing it. Historians versed in the lore,

and those portions of the famous story
of friendship most dear to the hearts OF

the home life of this ancient civilization
are all as interesting as they are thrill

LIKE THE THREE-CYLINDERS
Latest Idea In Locomotives Is An
nounced by Experts to Be Pro-
nounced Success.

At the last annual convention of the
American Railway Master Mechanics
association Mr.. ]. s. Bell read a paper
on the subject OF three-cylinder loco
motives, in which he gave particulars
regarding three Of this type which
have been giving good service. The
three cylinders are placed on the same
horizontal plane, one between the
frame and other two exterior to the
frame. They have the same diameter,
1Sh inches, and each has its own pis.
ton valve. They have been engaged
for several years in fast passenger SER
vice, where they have been doing very
satisfactory work. Their principal ad.
vantages are that they secure a uni
form turning moment, the cranks be-
ing placed at 120 degrees; they exert
greater tractive power, and they call
for lower factor Of adhesion than
two-cylinder engines. They are easy
on rails and bridges; afford opportun-
ity for better balancing, and can be
operated on the simple. compound, or
triple-expansion principle.-Scientifio

Stafford he has lived the life of q col.

In the mine, and became proficient in
his Job.
The Rev. g. ID. Bees, vicar Of the
parish in which Lobengu1a lives, says
the circumstances in which the son OF
the African chief had been reduced
suggested very lamentable disregard
Of English tradition of generosity to

Japanese Female Costumes.

A Japanese woman of fashion is by
no means a drain on her husbands
finances. The cost Of her wearing ap.
parel is very small indeed when COM
pared to her sister Of the Occident.
She wears 1880 worth of clothing un.
der her kimono, the latter costing
about $25. The obi costs another $25.
Numerous tying paraphernalia sum up
to S17.25, and set Of footwear
amounts to about SO. Combs and hair
pins, ornamented with gems, cost
S245; shawl, $3.50; a diamond neck
clasp, $3.50; a total of little more
than 5000 for season. This is very
modest outlay when compared to the
enormous cost Of apparel for the wo-
man Of fashion in New York or

POSTCARD SENT NEWLY WEDs

Denyer.-A wooden postcard nearly
two feet long and more than half 4
foot wide and highly decorated ~ith
instructions to newly married couples
was handed to e. G. Bennett, clerk at
the Katserhoff hotel, by the letter car
rler when making his usual mall de-
livery
1t was addressed to Mr.. and Mrs.
Roy ID. Lee of Pueblo, who were here
on tnelr honeymoon. The couple had
departed, however, before. the card ar
rived. Clerk Bennett tried to put it In
the mail box and 1t wouldn't go. Then
he hung it up over his desk. That
caused 80 many people to make use
less remarks that he showed 1t under
the counter.
Then some one told him he was in
terfering with the United States mails,
so he took it out again and handed 1t
to the telephone operator, who wrote
another address on it and forwarded
1t after the happy couple.
One motto said: May all the
troubles be little ones" Another said:
BE good TO one another" Another
card asked the clerk, in the event he
could not deliver the postcard, to re-
turn to the couple addressed at Rose
lawn cemetery, Pueblo, Colo, as that
would undoubtedly be their stopping
place In the end
The card had thirty-four stamps on
1t and numerous pictures of hearts,
cupids and other designs which con-
Veyed the impression that the parties
addressed were in a blissful state Of
mind.

MAKES coALING EASY MATTER
Modern Machinery Loads Tons Of Fuel
In Space Of Only a Few
Seconds.

The coaling Of locomotives at large
terminals, where great many engines
are dispatched. requires the handling
OF large amount Of coal. The mod
ern engine carries IL tons-3O, 900
pounds.
In the early days this coal was shov-
eled direct from cars. carried into en-
gines by hand in small two-bushel
boxes, or taken direct from mines ad.
joining the main line, but since the
nearby coal deposits have been
worked out and the mines have been
located on spur tracks away from the
main line, coal chutes designed to de-
liver coal In from one to ten ton lots
on the engine tender have been erect
ed at convenient places, usually about
fifty miles apart.
Freight trains require coal about
every fifty miles, while passenger
trains usually run 100 miles more with
out taking coal In renewing the old
coaling plants or adapting them to
double track, the Wabash railroad is
erecting modern steel structures hav.
Ing 800 tons storage, and 30 arranged
as to deliver coal on either the main
tracks or passing tracks, or all, at the
same time. The coal Is. dumped from
seif-clearing cars into concrete pitt
where 1t runs by gravity into an ele-
vator having ton buckets, which are
hoisted by electricity. The whole az.
rangement makes a resourceful and
economical coaling plant, as an engine
can take ten tons of coal in as many
seconds, thus insuring the minimum
stoppages and avoidisg delay to trains
