Representative Thomas L. Reilly,

Mr.. Hammerstein, with capacity

lively unknown talent, doubtless in
herited from his illustrious father,
has found for the star part in 1.-THE

and light opera actress in Miss Thay-
er. In all the cities where she played
last season she was received with
great enthusiasm. She is a few
inches over four feet of twinkling
womanhood and whole opera house
full Of glowing rich tones. Where it
all comes from is marvel, but it
does come, nevertheless.
Miss Thayer has been surrounded
with an excellent cast OF principals
and large chorus of singers and
dancers, brilliant costumes and beau
tiful scenery, together with a special
orchestra that travels with the COM
pany.

The Warrington and Jefferson
game at Wheeling is BY no means q
fixture. AZ lack of local support In
spite of the large crowd that was
provided has tended to incline both
Washington and Jefferson and Wes2
leyan arrangements toward other
to see Washington and Jefferson at
Clarksburg again next year: George
town may not be played. in spite of
the fact that the game has come to-
be regarded as a fixture at the WASH
ington institution. Warner going to
the University Of Pittsburg has made
chances very bright for Wesleyan APP
pearing at Pittsburg and this Is more
desirable from a local standpoint
than the Washington trip.
The site Of the annual game with
West Virginia University has attach
ed to it, Of course, tho most interest.
For two years the game has been
played In Fairmont, and Of course
the field at Fairmont. the facilities
for getting In and out and other
things makes 1t Just about the most
desirable place in the state for stag
/ ing the big game.
There have come to the Wesleyan
management, however, substantial
evidences that when the time comes
for deciding where the champion
ship will be decided in 1915, that
there will be a number of places, rep
resented by the chambers OF COM
merce and boards of trade that will
be bidding for the game as an ad-
vertisement. The game this year
drew to Fairmont something like
four thousand visitors. and already
Parkersburg, Wheeling, Clarksburg
and other towns are advancing their
claims for consideration for sites for.
the big game. OF course the matter
must be decided mutually between
the Wesleyan and West Virginia
arrangements when the other details
for the game are arranged, but It is
certain that the town that offers the
best inducements and facilities for
the game will be favored by Weslsy-
ans vote, especially since tiis west
Virginia game is the only one played
during the season in which sub
stantial profit is derived. The crowd
that attended the game this year
was almost double that Of the year
preceding and 1 nthe same ratio a
crowd Of ten thousand people attend
ing at any place where the game was
scheduled in 1915 would not be sur
prising.

Redskins in 1915 and although the
migration Of Warner, the famous
Indian coach. to the University Of
Pittsburg may change this plan, it is
thought that the Indians will again
be played in West Virginia in 1915.
The v. P. I. contest played al
Charleston this year will in ali prob
ability be staged there again next
year. A miserable day was offered
for the sport there this year. an dit
is generally felt that had the day
been one of the best money-making
propositions Of the seasons schedule.
Bluefield has been suggested as .
good place for this game, but this
has not met with much favor locally,
Eor the reason that it is desired that
at least ope game be played in
Charleston each year. and If the "
T. ], game is not scheduled it is not
probable that any will be.

LOVE AFFAIR HAS TRAGIC END
IN DEATH OF COUPLE


REX" Barr loved Florence Bent
ley. Every one in Downer's Grove
knew that. He had loved her for five
years. And in return she loved him.
But they had a quarrel recently. It
wasn't over anything in particular.
But they were only a couple Of kids
and they thought the quarrel iTTepar-
able. So he killed her Saturday
night. And just as the dawn broke
this morning he ended his own hope
less life by fiinging his body in the
path of a Burlington flyer near Lisle,
Ill.
Near his mangled body was found
the following confession:
God forgive me for causing my
sweetheart's death. l did not kill
her. We walked out there and sat
down. l tried to kiss her and she
repulsed me. / asked her, if she did
not want to be my sweetheart any
