A certain deacon in village church
had way Of his own of dealing with
cases of doubtful charity
One Sunday he came round with the
bag to a gentleman Of doubtful open
handedness. This worthy, remember
ing, no doubt, that one should not pub
lish ones good deeds too widely, con-
cealed his donation in his close-shut
fist and reached for the bag, where
upon the deacon, deity withdrawing
it before he could reach it, said, in a
stern whisper:

Purifying Gas With Electricity.

Electricity is being employed with
success at Detroit coke oven for the
purpose of removing tar from artifi-
cial gas in the purifying process, says
Popular Mechanics The gas Is passed
through highly ionized field, which
is produced by high-tension dis
charge OF current ranging as high as
$4,000 volts, with the result that the
tar forms in large drops, which are
then easily separated. There are no
high-tension leads exposed, since the
ionizer contains the transformer.

MAJESTIC.

The feature attraction for today Is
one OF those rare productions when
improves by repeated showing. The
subject. "a Fool There Was" played
here a few weeks ago to overwhelming
attendance, and requests for its re-
turn became so numerous the manage
ment finally decided to book 1t for
return engagement.
The play, originally produced by
Klaw & Erlanger, with Robert Hilliard
as the star, was one or the most Sue
cessful ever promoted.
In the pictured version Eduard Jose,
formerly leading man for Sara Bern
hardt, plays The Fool" and Miss
THETA Barra, a noted French actress,
is the Vampire"
This subject is most enthralling and
no doubt many who saw II during Its
previous engagement will come to see
il again. In any case, 1t is safe to as
sert that the Majestic, with its pres
ent large capacity OF LOO, will bo
filled.
Tomorrow Helen Gardner Is pre-
sented in Broadway Star Nitagraph
feature, "The Strange Story OF Sylvia
Gray" and II goes without saying
this wonderful actress will be well
coined by many admirers
The Majestic orchestra Is a musical
organization of which this theatre Is
very proud, and lovers of the tuneful
art will find pleasing advertisement In
listening TO the splendid musical pro-
gram.

"I'm going to enforce discipline with
All my power and | am going to have
my umpircs feel that they are respon-
slble to me and that they must enforce
the rules OF the game and give the
fans clean, snuppy baseball"
This Is the cdict Of william T.. Hill
president Of the Western association
expressed In a letter to the sporting
editor Of The World.
II have definitely closed with Set
ley, Womack, Spencer and McNulty,"
continues the letter in reference to
umplres II believe" he adds, that
these men win be all that can be asked
OF umpires I'm our classification and,
although there Is hardly one OF them
who meets the approval OF every one,
still, | have been absolutely indepen-
dent In this selection. and In making
appointments have gone over the OBJ
iectiuns OF some OF my best friends" 4"
So the umpires may be expected to
run the game this year, II the tone Of
this letter can be taken sincerely. and
1t Is generally conceded that hin Is
up to his Job, In the past there has been
only half-hearted obedience to the

instance. II has marred the sports
