criticisms OF the theaters. have
missed the mark as far as the vari.
Gus grades OF burlesque are con
cerned." declared J. M. Ward, man
ager OF the Gayety theater, Tues
day. when the term burlesque is
used those persons have jumped to
the conclusion that all burlesque
shows are questionable. The prop
er way To have separated the sheep
from the goats would have been to
emit the word 'burlesque' altogether
and classify the theaters as to
whether they were clean or un-
clean: liberal and decent, or vicious
and indecent: fun-loving and nat
ural or degenerate and mocking.
1T never suspected that anyone
would defend show that Is degen-
crate. There is no place in legiti-
mate amusement life for that kind
OF show. but there Is a. place for
the decent. natural. higher grade
buriesque show. The latter kind Is
what we give in she Gayety. Dur

WASHINGTON, Nov. S0-The In
terstate Commerce commission to-
day denied the application of seven
big eastern railroads TO continue the
operation OF their Lake steamship

wanna.
The commissions order in the lake

The Penna and Northern Central
railroads. the latter a Penna sub
sidiary, must divorce themselves
from the Erie and Western Trans.
portation Co; the Lackawanna. the
Lehigh, the New York Central and
the Erie from the Mutual Transit
Co.: the New York Central from the
Western Transportation Co; the
Rutland from the Rutland Transit
Co: the Erie from the Erie Railroad
Lake line; the Grand Trunk OF Can
ada from the Canada Atlantic Tran
sit Co. and the New York Central
from the Rutland Transis Co.
The commission. In denying the
Lehigh Valley application TO contin-
ne the operation OF it's lake line, the
Mutual Transit Co, did not touch
upon the Lehigh's application for a
re-hearing in the matter OF the Le-
high Valley Transportation Co. an
other OF its lake lines. The Lehigh

Another change In the handling Of

help conduct these inquests. The
reason for this is that when prose.

WHY HE CUT HIS HAIR

There is a certain surgeon in Bos-
ton who had, some months ago, a
very splendid crop of hair. Although
the surgeon is not old, his hair is
snow-white. and he is very proud of
of its beauty. He wore 1t parted in
the middle and rather long, and IT
fluffed luxuriantly on either side of
the part. The impulse toward a
change in hairdressing came to the
surgeon in this manner:
He had operated upon a woman,
and was bending over her as she be-
ban to come out of the ether. She
opened her eyes for a moment, and
then closed them again. Then with
a long sigh. and in a rapt voice she
said, what a beautiful white chrys-
anthemumi" The students present
exploded, and now the surgeon wears
his hair cut as close as a gentleman
may.-The Youths Companion.

crosses itself. Old Greenwich viii
lage was settled in a hurry. About
100 years ago fashionable folk used
to drive two miles into the country
to Greenwichc village along the in
land road, traversing what is now
Park Row, Bowery and Waverly
place. The drive took them past a
pauper graveyard which is now
Washington Square, one of the beau
tiful parks of the city. In 1882 an
epidemic of yellow fever broke out
in New York and a high fence was
stretched across the island, as a
quarantine boundry. Greenwich vii
lage became a refuge. Almost over
night the tiny villag sprouted into a
town. In the haste to straighten the
lanes and cow paths these rapidly
became streets.

WATCH YOUR WIFE.

Keep your eye on your wife.
Not to keep some other man
from stealing her-for wives
worth having are not stealable.
But keep her contented for
that will help you to keep cheer
full
And to keep her cheerful-for
that will keep her pretty.
TO keep her pretty is to help
, o,rself keep your eyes off other
women. a very necessary thing
for a married man if he would
lie happy.
Keep in mind the girl you led
to the altar-for your wife is that
girl; just as good, just as lovable
Just as sincere, just as honest.
Keep in mind also that you
were ready to do almost any
thing to get her-and so you are
reminded that it's up to you to
make some little sacrifice in or
der to keep her.
Just keep your eye on your
wife and do your share toward
making success of your great
est business undertaking-the
business of being a happy mar.
