THE MASTER MIND.

No more vivid photo-pl drama has ever been conceived than the forthcoming production at the Strand of "The Master Mind," i'll which Edmund Breese, the brilliant dramatic star, again makes his ap- pearance which, by the way, is his first attempt as moving picture star and that he has made good in every essential detail, one need but know MT. Breese to be assured of the ef- fct.
 "The Master Mind" is a play that mirrors many of the most sensation al events of the underworld It's chief characters include Richard Al len,SN master criminal, 'Pinkerton detective, United States Marshal and several dozen characters of the underworld whose careers have been iMackened by crimes and imprison- meats. Then there is, too, delight iul intervening of a majestice vein of romance ethat ihterwines into the l,ots and counter-plots, while the in nocence of the charming girl gives the play most refreshing atmos- pliere to offset the vivid. tense dra- matic situations that occur through out the entire five thousand feet oi reel.

COBB BREAKS. THUMB BEATING BUTCHER
Scrap Followed Attack on Boys Employer, Who In-
 suited Players Wife.

Detroit. Micn., June 2C.-Ty Cobb walked into the butcher shop of w. l.. Carpenter, 1516 Hamilton boulevard, at 73O tonight, showed revolver into Carpenters face and threatened to blow his "blankety-blank block off" Howard Harding, 20 years of age, an employe of Carpenter, rushed to the defense and battled with Cobb, after Cobb had handed the weapon to by stander. Cobb knocked Harding down and hammered his head on the side- walk until witnesses made him desist
 Cobb was taken in a patrol wagon to the police station. His thumb is said to be broken.
 The quarrel with Carpenter is the culmination of bad feeling which had followed an insult to Mrs. Cobb when Carpenter refused to take back fish he had sold her. Carpenter says he will prosecute.
 Cobb will undoubtedly be out of the Tiger lineup for some time.

ORPHEO MONDAY. James Morrison and Dorothy Kelley In s'.The Crime of Cain..

A young man is found murdered His brother who has been seen to strike him, is accused of the crime Just as the suspected man is about to be sentenced by his own father. who is judge, woman appears and tetrays the guilty man. If it hadn't been for the fortunate exposure of the murderer, the innocent brother would have been branded with the crime of Cain. The object lesson that the picture teaches is. we should be slow to anger and not think evil of others. If this young man had not been jealous of his brother and struck him in anger, he would not have been suspected of one of the worst deeds in the category of cslme To see this impressive drama is to learn well the less on of self-control and brotherly love.
 In addition 10 this number a two act drama entitled Judge Dumis' De- cision", fine offering. Also Pathes' weekly, featuring the 300 mile auto races which took place at Indiana polls.

the priesthood when he was obliged

the priesthood when he was obliged to give up the idea of becoming "a priest, as the, most noted aurists of Cincinnati, Boston, New York and Philadelphia told him that there was nc cure, nor any way to prevent all advance of his deafness. Some Of the specialists said in comforting way that if he could ever get where the noise was as great as the boom- ing of the cannon at Oak Hill the concussion might pass away and the little himmers in the ears get to work again.
 Returning to Fort Smith. ill 1870, broken down physically, his native air revived him. The position of prin- cipal of the high school of the public school was offered him and accepted, his old teacher, Valentine Dell, a fiery and. prominent Republican, being president of the school board. He established the Belle Grove school Journal, which was perhaps the first o: the kind in the state. and brought his department to high degree of efficiency.

He recognized the inevltahlH ness of that which men call uea.h and looked forward to the termlna- ton of his life on this earth wlth tha' clam that comes from life well srprt. Five years ago at the re- quest of The Graphic, he preaMred Q biographical sketch which IS cohp'a'e and shows the great activities o1 the man Pine Bluff, the state and large mart of the South is mourning,
 The sketch follows:

It was distressing blow to the young soldier, who was az ambitious and hightoned then as he is now, and besides. his old com rades had given him the assurance that he would be immediately elected to lieutenancy, with good chances for promotion.
 h some months change of health for the better seemed to come. and he made his way to Hindman's army, then near Clarksville, joining the Fort Smith company. The predictions of Doctor Spring that he could not stand tLe exposures of camp life were soon verified and he was transferred to the uuartermaster department. While fulfilling a commission with forag- ing train north of Fort Smith, in the Cheroque Nation, his horse was shot from under him by Pin or Federal h. Gians under Opotheoholo, and he was left for dead. He was only stunned by the fall, however. the bullets oi the Indians merely grazing his head In the growing dusk he made ms way through the woods to Fort Smith. The next day the army moved southward
 Cupidity of Federals.
 He continued to serve the army as best he could, but in 1864 was taken by the Federals and, as exchange o1 prisoners had Oeen discontinued. he gave his parole not to serve again m tie Confederate army until the close of the war. It was the general belief of the time that the war was virtually closed, and in the light of history Il seems that the advance southward ol the Federal army of Northwest Ar kansas was held back as much by the cupidity of Federal buffers and otil- cers as by the Southern army. Cotton at a dollar pound was very allur' ing, and it seemed well to allow any other crop to be raised before the farms were. destroyed. Gen. w. h. l Cabell, then in command, also maneuvered so admirably his small | Confederate force that Blount ant Curtiss, the Federal generals, thougl | discretion tine better part of valor
 especially after the defeat of theil
 army by Cabell at Devill's Back Bone k is miles soutl, of Fort Smith.
 Monsignor Lucey soon fell under J the suspicion of the Federal govern ment inyregard to the relief or rescue 1 ot Confederate prisoners in Johnson l Island, and for supposed participa I tion in the raid from Canada at St

 and Cabell evacuated the place oa the advance of Blount. the federal gen. eral, Capt Frank G. Vaughn, of Mon- roe's Regiment, remained by Cabells order until the bluecoats were swarm ing over the river, when he quickly hauled down the flag from the pole

 and retired with it.

Louis during which children have not suffered for want of food and proper shelter If pride and self respect were not in the way o revelations of such conditions kind-hearted people would be greatly shocked by the suffering that occurs every winter. They would, venture to say be more than shocked they would be moved to offer imme- diate help
 But touching that class of people whose wants are made known to the public through the police department and other agencies and the wealthy or well l-to-do citizens of the community it is plain that those who affords to help well armed with reasons why they should not help, or why by their support of certain benevolence which they systematically paronize.
 The sending of aid to Europe will not mean that the sufferers at home will be aided any the less. There is something simple in the problem of Begiums needs There is something dramatic in the act of contributing d Christmas ship And people like to understand clearly and they enjoy taking part dramatic
 It is a harsh indictment of modern customs that permit single child to go hungry cold in great and wealthy city. We should seek to correct this evil A larger number of people trying every year lessen the amount of suffering in neighborhoods
 In the meantime, do believe that sin of Europe will curtail his helpfulness toward his own. On the contrary real kindness is quality that increases it's power over the individual.

Within a short time, there will be preparations neces- sary for another holiday rush. and al ready plans are being made for hand ling the Christmas parcels in a speedy manner An unprecedented rush is ex- pected. partly because Phoenix never goes backward, and MUST increase such things every year, and partly be- cause the parcel post system has con- pleted it's second year of existence, with such d flood of publicity that it will be universally used this winter for Christmas trade. MT Wood, adding his experience in publicity getting, to the excellent opportunity offered during fair week. placed the parcel post so squarely before the package sending public that its use has received an un- believablv big impetus.

Everything de- bends on what is meant by "undefended" am afraid London would not be immune nor would Weymouth, would 1ynemouth A place is not necessarily undefended" merely because if is not fortified If It contains depot of arms, a naval or military establishment even workshops or plant utllizable for military purposes, it's immunity is at an end This obviously leaves d good deal of latitude. and all that safely be said is that the most defenseless places are, legally speaking the best protected. Still, the ordinary pleasure resort or fishing village may fairly sleep in peace-unless d German man -of-war demands supplies in which case a refusal to provide them would entail the penalty of bombardment
 While places which are immune from "bom bardment" are also immune from aerial attack. places which are exposed to the are exposed t, the other The Hague convention (No. XIV of 19O7) forbftdng altogether the discharge of proiectiles and explosives from balloons and similar methods although signed by Great Britain did not command the assent of Germany.

Indeed, the effect of the present grouping of belligerent powers is to suspend this convention altogether Exactly the same appears to hold good of the prohibition of mine -layng ir, coastal waters and in the track of commercial shp ping.

Relief for the BeIoIans

We have in a telegraphic dispatch that the small town of Dublin N H., raised a Belgian relief fund of which do not recall but we remember that it estimated that if all the towns in this country were proportionatey liberal the total of the relief fund would be $446,000,000. Evidently Dublin has contributed than it's share. while most towns contributing not at all, much less than their share
 The question is raised in communities whether they should give anything at all to the Belgians this year which has not been a very good one for this country. We hear again that charity should begin at home" and the poor always have with us
