MISS HERrORD'S COMIC GENIUS
shown In Her New MOnolUgues Mt
the Lyceum Yesterday.

Beatrice Herford's annual appearances
at the Lyceum Theatre afford all lovers
Of real humor some of tn" best minutes
that the theatre year brings to them.
The appearance OF her audience Is
guarantee OF her own quality. They rep
resent that class which George Meredith
in his essay on the comic spirit says is
the class which must be the final court
OF humor. that prosperous middle class
which has made its fight in the world
and IL not ignorant OF II. but Is tranquil
enough now for contemplative enjoyment
Before such an audience, sensitive TO her
humor and appreciative OF its best ef-
forts. Miss Herford gave her mono
logues yesterday afternoon.
Her humor comes from the life about
her. Yesterday the only note that might
have been considered exotic came In The
Cockney Landlady." Its fun proved an
interesting variation to the programme.
One must have laughed under any cir
cumstances at the complaint against the
two lady dodgers who were not content to
play the piano like others one sitting by
to listen while another played. but had
to play the instrument at the same time.
The visitor to the sick woman who told
OF her delight at finding her friend still
In bed as she was SO afraid she might
have got well before she got around to
calling. the exQuisite-and so strongly
national-humor of Train Friends" and

her hearers. But IL WAS In the Hat
Department" which ended the recital with
"a climax OF fun that sent the audience
home wondering how IL had been possible"
to exist 50 long without Miss Herford $
ministrations.
II would be difficult to conceive OF any
thing more amusing than the air OF re-
signed but infallib,e certainty in the
miiliner who showed her wares. Miss
Herford was as much transformed IN
this monologue as she had been as the
vulgar gossip IN Train Friends" which
marked the highest achievement she re-
vealed as a study OF national character
Weary of the eNaggeration and false
ness OF NO much that is offered as coined,
| IN the theatres. one need only hear and
| see Miss Herford in these incompara'
| Bile monologues IL realize that there Is
| still comedy in the every day world
| comedy moreover that Is not vulgar. over
| drawn and artificial but taken from th'
| life and character about us-whch Il
comedy of the highest character. Miss
Herford's succeeding recitals will be oi

With this simple but clear state

the. Western Federation of Miners,
whom the Citizens Alliance of Calu-
met, Mich, shot down and foully as
.saulted in their effort to break his
spirit, left for the scene of the shoot
ing last night.
While those who know Meyer
know that the gunner and sluggers
of Upper Michigan can't keep him
away, it was not expected that he
would return so soon. as he is still
far from complete recovery.
Quite naturally left a lot of work
unfinished as result of my involun-
tary and hasty departure from the
scene of action said Meyer before
boarding train, "and as my health
and strength are slowly returning l
must continue my work"
: With the wounded leader went

were instructed to beat up and use
their reVolvers on helpless men, Wo-
men and children; of the many out
RACES committed in connection with
the strike and of how the gunner
have made of the present strike one
long drunken mess.
Meyer gave out the following
statement as to the conditions under
which the miners will return to work:
1.-THE strikers are ready to go back
to work on condition there shall be
no discrimination against any man
because he went on strike or be-
cause of utilization with an organiza-
ton We submit that this is fair. 1t is
a principle of collective bargaining
so well established that the wonder
is that it should be questioned by
the Michigan mine owners at this
late day.
1--WE are willing to submit the en-
tire question at issue to arbitration.
If the mine operators will agree to
it, we are willing to abide by the de-
cision of the board of arbitration ap-
pointed by the president of the Unit

Postal Savings Increasing.

The war in Europe is proving big
boon to the postal savings in this
country. From the very day hostil
tiles opened across the seas postal
savings receipts began to increase by
leaps and bounds and Withdrawals
fell off, a result quite contrary to the
predictions of many well-inform ed
persons who, in their Imagination,
saw lines of feverish depositors at
postollice pay windows anxious to
again return their savings to the boot
leg and body belt repositories whence
they came before intrusted to Uncle
Sam.
Two important results have follow
ed; thousands of people, largely of
foreign birth, accustomed to send
their savings abroad, are now patrons
of our postal savings system; and
enormous sums of actual cash have
been released for commercial uses
among our own people at time when

PROGRESS OF AGRICULTURAL
EDUCATION IN AMERICA.

During the past ten years the mum
Der of students taking the full four
year course in agriculture in Amcri-
can agricultural colleges has increas,
ed from about $500 to II, 800, or
800 per cent The number of white
students registered in short or special
courses has doubled in the same per-
iod, amounting now to about IL 900.
Since 1910 the yearly number of
graduates in agriculture has increas-
cd from 7OS to 1881, and the num-
Der receiving advanced degrees from
Il to 1854. The aggregate revenues
of the Immigrant colleges have about
tripled, while those of the expert
ment stations have more than tripled.
The men on the staffs-of the expert
ment stations have increased from
about $50 to about |, 800, and the
number of those doing no teaching
from 375 to 925. An especially not
able develop. ncnt of the last decade
has been the growth of agricultural
instruction in secondary schools. In
1893 very few secondary schools gave
instruction, while at present over
1000 do 50. Remarkable progress
is also to be noted in agricultural ex-
tension work, outside of that carried
on i'm farmers institutes. There are
now 300 men employed as, state,
district and country agents, and as
boys and girls club workers. The
operations of the Smith-Lcver Act
will greatly increase this class OF
work. The above figures are quoted
from a recent address by DR.. A. G.
True, director of the United States
Office of Experiment Stations.

the need for every available dollar is
pressing
On July LIST, when affairs were run
ming smoothly here and abroad and
the transmission of money across the
Atlantic was safe and expeditions,
there was approximately s43, 100000
of postal savings standing to the
credit of about 5000 dcpostorS.
Since then over SO, 900, 900 of de-
posts have been added and the num-
ber'o depositors has increased enor-
mouSly. Scores of Offices have done
more postal savings business since the
war has been going on than was done
by them during the previous exist
ence of the service. The increases
are confined to no special localities,
but have been felt in every nook and
corner of the country. New York
city alone made gain in September
of more than a million, while Brook.
Ign showed relatively big increase.
A number of the very largest banks
in the country which have heretofore
