The capture of Novogeorgievsk had
been foreseen since the fall of War

treat was made from the Warsaw
salient. Grand Duke Nicholas. the
Russian commander-in-ch chief, elected
to leave a. garrison in the fortress,
rather than evacuate this position,
as II was recognized that the only
question was how long the defenders
would be able to hold out.

The Grand Dukes decision appar-

Russians retained it they were able

For nearly two weeks the fortress

FRANK BURIED;
WIFE COLLAPSES'
AT CEMETERY
Funeral Party Races to Grave
in Effort to Elude Pho
tographers.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-The body
of leo NJ Frank who was lynched
at Marietta. Ga, was buried today
in Mount Carmel Cemetery, Brook
lyn. The automobile hearse and the
cars carrying the immediate relatives
of the dead man travelled at high
rate of speed over the six mile route
from the home of Franks parents to
the cemetery in a. vain attempt TO
elude newspaper men and photogra-
pliers.
Franks parents, Mr.. and Mrs;
Rudolph Frank: the widow ana
Franks sister, Mrs. Otto Stern, and
her husband occupied the automobile
that followed the hearse. dozen
other relatives and friends occupied
three additional automobiles
A crowd of scarcely more than
hundred people was in front OF the
Frank home when the body was car
ried out at 910 o'clock. Twenty min
utes later the hearse had arrived at
the cemetery, and within thirty min.
utes from the time the funeral mad
started the last of the Durlal serVices
was concluded.
About forty curious persons were
in the cemetery when Franks body
arrived. and they crowded close 10
the grave during the services. Per
feet order was maintained both at
the Frank home and at the cemetery
and the police on hand at both places
found nothing to do.
Mrs. Lucille Frank, the widow, ap-
reared calm and restrained until the
burial service had concluded. Then
she collapsed, and was carried TO an
automobile. The services were con-

The statement, which was devoted
largely to a review of the happenings
at the prison on the night Of August

out that State officials had believed
that any attack on the place to get

the Milledgevile militia could be

Childish CharacterIstlca.

The prominent characteristics On
childhood are innocence, trustfulness,
sensitiveness and curiosity, and on
our treatment of these qualities the
future development of the child will
largely depend To keep the childish
hoom of innocence as far as possible
untainted; to honor trustfulness by
answering truth and the firm inten
ton never to deceive; to meet sensi
tiveness with tender consideration
and not with hardness and lack OF
sympathy; to treat curiosity az mind
hunger and not to starve but feed it.
these are considerations of vital mo-
ment The child's sense of wonder Is
a lovely endowment which should
never be chilled or discouraged. For
the child the world is full of surprises.
The whole earth, the heavens above
and the waters beneath, the color and
scent of flowers, the wind in the trees,
the songs of birds, the flight of the
swallow OF the butterfly, all are beau
full surprises in which the child should
be encouraged to find delight and In

Hollow in a Boiled Eco,

There is an air space in every egg,
but We notice it particularly in a
boiled one, because the contents have
been made solid by cooking and made
the hollow space more apparent This
space is a provision of nature so that
the chick which grows within the
shell may have air to breathe from
the time it comes to life until 1t be-
comes strong enough to break through
the shell to the outside world. To
generate life in the egg 1t is neces-
sary that it be subjected to a GER
tain degree of heat for a period of
81 days. When this is not done the
egg remains indefinitely in its raw
state. When it is boiled the pocket
of air within the shell, which would
have been used up by the chick If the
egg had been set to hatch, begins to
fight for its space, and pushes the
boiled contents of the egg back, leav-
ing the hollow space.

that these views do.
Massive pillars stand in front of
the house of Vinitius and through the
open doors of Petronius' corridors
the spectators glimpse a garden rich

OF the court in Nero's palace proceed
with degree of naturalness which

palace as Rome burns; the Emperor

accomplished with vivid flash of re-

Rome which most fully revealed the
capacity of the pictures to indicate

With striking reality is the burn

later views of charred and ruined

novelty of these pictures that the

CRESCENT THEATRE.

III the stage is what Shakespear,
conceived it to be-a mirror held ur
TO life-then Walter S. Baldwin,
choice of a play for the fifth week OF
his successful engagement at the
Crescent Theatre is ideal. In THE
Divorce Question" a gripping, in.
tense drama of modern times and af
fairs, is to be found an argument
based on the philosophy of to-day
The courts, the church, matrimony
, and the pitfalls of Americas night
life are all brought into the move
ment of events. The cabaret is pic
, tured with all of it's dangers TO the
innocent.
The engagement of THE Divorce
Question" commences with a matinee
at 2 O'Clock Sunday, followed by a
night performance. The play will
be at the Crescent throughout the
week with matinees on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday. The entire
Baldwin Players company will be
utilized in the cast. Miss Inez Ra-
gan will be found in a role that gives
her more opportunity for emotional
display and action than any that has
heretofore fallen to her. One of the
feature roles is that of dope fiend"
here, character of the underworld
whose manhood has withstood the
attack of degrading atmosphere, in
which Walter S. Baldwin, Jr., is said
to excel.
The story of The Divorce Cues
ton" in this case is that of a couple
who had two children, secure a di-
vorce, and as neither desire the Gus
tody of the children, they have them
placed in a boarding school.
Having been accustomed to the
comforts of home, and missing the
guiding hand of mother and father,
they soon tire of this and make their
escape. Years afterwards they are
found in the slums. Through force
of association with the lowest ele-
ment in the slum district the boy has
acquired the drug habit, while the
girl has fallen into the hands of
white slavers. For a while the boy
loses track of his sister but at last
finds her in cheap saloon, under the
influence of the man who had ruined !
her. In his attempt to rescue her,
he kills the man. Pursued by a mob,
he takes refuge in the home of a !
priest. The father and mother, who |
have both married a second time,
learn through the priest how their
have fallen and both refuse
70 carry them in their homes as they
would be a menace to so-called So
,iety. When the daughter learns of
his, the shock proves too much and
the dies of a broken heart, while the
ION, in his weakened condition from
he drug habit becomes raving ma
liac.
Thus it taches us that laws of God
hould not be overcome by the laws

al question in divorce cases: What
