sisttng of eight star vaudeville acts,
VIII occupy the stage at Proctor's
Park Place Theatre, commencing to-
/ morrow. Heading the bill will be a
| pretentious musical comedy, entitled
The Rose of the Harem.' Ten high
| class artists. original musical num-
bers, and all the new dances, com
prise the act. Frances Stevens and
| company, in very clever comedy
sketch, 1.-The Country Bride" by Ed
gar Allan Woolf; Wentworth, Vesta
| and Teddy, acrobats of more than
ordinary merit; Harry Jolson, the
famous black-face singing comedian
and monologist, who is equally as
good as his famous brother, AL Jol-
son; Wiley, Braxton and Carter, clever
comedians; Jim and Elsie Hazelton
Will offer pleasing comedy sketch;
Allen and Dalton, singers and dancers,
and McCrea and Laport, expert eduil-
ibrists, and several of the best comedy
pictures will make up the bill. The
new policy of continuous perform
ances from l to IL p. m. and the spe-
cial offer of admitting ladies in the
afternoon to either orchestra or bal
cony for ten cents is meeting with
| great success.
In line with the change of policy at
the Park Place Theatre, It. r. Proc
tor has announced that the policy at
the Lyric will be changed. This house.
from now on shows only first class
moving pictures \ picture in the
Adventures of kathryn" series will
be feature of the new program.
The Lyric was the theatre that
popularized the continuous vaudeville
performances in this city. At times
the crowds that sought entrance to
the house blocked good part OF Pc
destrian traffic on Market street.
Tonight and Friday night of this
week the Blind Women's Club of the
New York Association for the Blind
will be entertained at the Forty
eighth Street Theatre at the perform
ances of To-day" as the guests of
Harry Won Tilzer. manager of the
attraction. Last Thursday the Blind
Women's Club of Brooklyn attended
the matinee performance and so sue
cessfully visualized the story of
To-day" by the strength of the lines
alone, and We're so impressed by the
play that the Blind women's Club of
the New York Association for the
Blind, An institution of great import
ance, the destinies of which are d.
rected by a number of the most
prominent men and women of the
country, asked the privilege of at
tending the play, and their request
was speedily granted. Owing to their
number and the great demand on the
part of the general public for seats,
it was necessary, in order TO secure
accommoda tons, to divide the party
in two, half of them attending the
performance tonight and the other
half Friday evening.
It was only recently that n dele
cation of deaf mutes, after following
closely the development of tho plot
by the pantomime of the acting. gave
the play their most enthusiastic in
dorsement.

The Red Ball of Safety

= From America the safety workers

safety to the worker will be assured
wherever men are employed, by
means understandable to men of all
nationalities. but it was with this idea
that the safety committee adopted Il

What Alaska Has Produced

Since mining began in Alaska in
1880 the gold placers Of the territory
have yielded 7.4sS,491 fine ounces OF
gold, valued at S454.S00,S7 These
mines have also produced 1,652,016 fine
ounces of silver, with commercial
value of $960,743, according to A. II.
Brooks. of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey.
The gold placer mines of Alaska are
estimated to have produced in 1912
gold to the value of 81, 100000. Rail
road development is the thing that
is most needed, and it is not to be
expected that under present indus
trial conditions there will be any sta
bility of placer gold output in the
territory. So long as the high cost Of
transportation prevails the produc-
ton of placer gold must depend on
the exploitation of bonanza deposits,
for these alone can be expected to
yield profitable feturns.-Survey Bull

House Moved Over Cars

A large private house in San Fran
cisco was recently moved along a
narrow street to a new site in the
adjoining block without blockading
street car or vehicle traffic. A single
track cable line runs along the centre
of the street. and the width of the
house was too great to permit IL To
be moved longitudinally along either
side of the street at ground level
without obstructing the track. The
street railway company objected to
any interference with its service, SO
the contractor resorted to the ex !.
pedient of lacking the structure to a
sufficient height to permit cars to
pass beneath it. Cribwork was then
placed on the skids to support the
house, and the moving operations
were performed by the ordinary
method Engineering Record

Prince Gautier De Severac had dis
covered that jacques Duval the cap
tan of his guards, was in love with
Mademoiselle Yyette Bordeaux an
actress. The prince considered this
lady sufficiently loved when he hos
ored her with his affection. He
therefore wrote a very polite letter
to Yvette informing her that if he
saw an evidence of her returning
DuvaPs affections he would be under
the necessity of killing the captain.
1t struck the prince that it would
be an excellent idea to order Duval
to deliver this note in person. rs
an afterthought he decided to seed
his valet. Valroy. after Duval to as
certain for him how Yvette and
Duyal acted when they were alone
together.
When Duval appeared in made
moisele's apartments Nalroy was a
good deal scandalized to see that he
young woman kissed him. He was
puzzled by her conduct after sac
had read the princes note, however.
DuvaI demanded to know what the
note contained. Yvette refused TO tell
him because she was afraid the fiery
captain would lose no time in giving
the prince an opportunity TO carry
out his threat. Their interview end
ed in a bitter quarrel.
When Va1roy returned the prince
looked up.

manded.
She kissed him. monseigneur.
This report filled the prince with
cold anger. He resolved to provoke
Duyal into a duel. That night at
Yvettes reception he amused himself
by ordering Duval about like lacl<ey.
TO put the keen edge on the Joke he
al last sent for DuVal and ordered him
to present to Mademoiselle YVette a
necklace with his princely compli-
ments.
Yvette WAS keenly aware of the
princes murderous intentions. She
knew, too. when Duval came with the
necklace they were being watched. To
save the captains life she simulated
delight with the present. DuYal flew
into a rage. He stalked out of the
room. Immediately sought out the
prince and TO the princes secret salts
faction challenged him TO q duel.
The prince being the challenged
party named broadsWords. With this
weapon he had the reputation of being
inVincible. Duval, knowing the princes
fatal skin, wrote a reproacllful note to
lVette, telling her of the contemplated
duel and bidding her farewell. Ten
minutes later he and the prince were
in another part of the palace stripped
for action.
Meanwhile Mademoiselle YYette had
been challenged by the company at
her reception to prove to them which
she was capable of portraying the
better, comedy or tragedy. YVettc
acted q scene from one of Moliere's
comedies and had just finished when
Captain Duvals note was delivered
to her.
The message threw her into a tumult

away from her guests, but they, be-
lieying her only acting. formed a cir

the curtailmeht of operations in
certain departments of the steel
industry at Farrell, tends to
confirm the assertion that current
buying of steel is running fifty
per cent lighter than month
ago."
A recent report of John A.
Penton, of Cleveland, secretary
of the American Pig Iron AssocI-
alton, says that foreign manu-
facturers, operating under a low
er cost of production, are ship
ping large quantities of pig iron
into the United States, while the
industry here is being carried on
at a heavy loss. The wages of
thousands of employees in the
pig iron industry have been re-
duced, the report says, or will
have to be to meet the situation.
within the past few months
the tariff changes have been ov
erlooked by the country in gen
eral, but their effect is now being
felt" says James A Campbell,
of the Youngstown (Ohio) Sheet
and Tube Company. Natural
ly some time would be required
for foreign steel makers to pre-
pare for competition in the Uni
| ted States but their selling ag-
| encies are now at work and for
eigners are reaching into Ameri-
can territory from seabeard
points. To meet this competition
we must reduce labor costs as we
cannot pay protective tariff wa-
ges on a free trade basis"
Mr.. Campbell says tariff re
ductions are largely responsible
for the present conditions in the
iron and steel industry.
