The Portuguese President

Dr. Bornardino Machado, the presi- dent of the Portuguese republic, is be- lieved to have been largely instrument tai in fostering the movement for Por- tugaPs active participation in the war. pr. Machado assumed the presidency little more than a year ago. He is sixty-six years old, and holds the papa1 title of Marquis de Santo Thyrso. It was under the latter title that he was known in Washington some fifteen years ago, when he was the minister of King Carlos at the court of Uncle Sam. A premature announcement of the death of President Mckinley, due to an unfortunate mistake, led to his recall. Dr. Machado has always been very friendly toward England and France, and speaks the languages of both countries, having received his education in England. For several years he was aid to his brother, Gen. Machado, the governor of Portuguese East Africa. Upon his retirement from Washington post he left the diplomatic service, and was given the chair of philosophy and international law at the University of Coimbr4 He was forced out of that ancient and conservative institution because of his advocacy of liberal and democratic doctrines, and was threatened with prosecution for treason. When the brief and almost bloodless revolution which transformed Portugal from a monarchy into a republic was success fully carried out, Dr. Machado was given the post of Foreign Minister in the new government. He then became a candidate for the presidency, but was defeated, the successful candidate appointing him Portuguese minister to Brazil, where he was very popular and a public idol. He returned to Lisbon in 1914 and held the post of premier for about year, and in August, 1915, he assumed the presidency. The Portuguese executive inherited large fortune, and is said to be worth sev- eral million dollars. His long friend ship for England and it's people and institutions and his dislike for Ger many and Germans made his election highly agreeable to the Allies.

MASCAGNI'S
 NEW OPERAS

Pietro Mascagni, most distinguish ed of latter-day Italian operatic com posers was born in Legohrn fifty three years ago today. He was edu- cated at the Milan Conservatoire, and began his career as composer while still youth. After several minor successes he achieved an international reputation with "La Cavalleria Rusti- cana" which was produced in 1890, when the composer was twenty-seven. During the last year Mascagni has completed three new operas. "Lado- lette' was finished last Autumn. An- other is Cleopatra" founded on Sar- dou's drama, and the third is 'Faida,' '' based on an Italian story by Forzano. Signor Mascagni attained much publicity a few years ago pyi the re- port that he had e1oped with a chorus girl, and that his spouse had pursued him. Later members of the family denied the story. and alleged that the genius had merely gone to Skitzer- land with his eldest daughter. In Italy they say that Mascagn1 is the laziest man alive, and that he would
 be idle most of the time if Signora
 Mascagni did not drive him to his daily toll.
 One of the latest of Mascagni' 5 operas, "Parisiana,' which was. first produced at La Scala in Milan ini 1913, has not been very popular, although the libretto was written by D'Annun-
 zio, Italy's greatest living bard. Mas cagni and D'Annunzio were bitter ene- l mics for twenty years, and hated each | other as only artistic Italians know how to hate. One day in 1913 they
 met accidentally, glared at each oth- | CT, and then began a conversation. | Before they parted they were firm 1 friends. and after they had arranged
 another meeting, they kissed each other. The reconciliation was follow ed by collaboration in what, they
 called musical tragedy. "Parisiana, '' | written by D'Annunzio and set to mus | ic by Mascagni, deals with a fifteenth century tragedy. Parisiana was the
 wife of the Marquis of Este, and had
 a guilty love affair with Hugo, her
 husbands illegitimate son. Their se-
 cret was discovered, and the false
 wife and the handsome youth were
 beheaded in the castle by the sen-
 tence of the husband and father.

BULGARIA'S LOVE
 FOR RUSSIA

Although Bulgaria is now the enemy
 of Russia, it is the generally express
 ed testimony of neutral correspon-
 dents and visitors to Bulgaria that the
 great love and reverence long enter
 tained by the masses of the people
 for Russia have not been obliterated
 by war. The Bu1garians cannot easily
 forget that their liberty was pur-
 chased at the price of thousands of
 Russian lives, and that but for the
 aid of the soldiers of the Czar they
 might now be under the Turkish yoke.
 Plevna is the historic shrine of Bull garian liberty, for it was there that
 the decisive battle was fought where
 by Bulgaria's long vassalage to Fur
 key was brought to an end. It was
 thirty-nine years ago today that the
 army of Czar Alexander the Bull garian Liberator, began battering at the gates of Plevna. The siege, com
 menced on Sept.S7, 1877, was marked by fierce artillery duels and many fruitless but sanguinary conflicts be- fore the victory was gained After three months of investment, Osman Pasha, the Turkish commander, re-
 duced to desperation by want of food and supplies. made an effort to break through the Russian Bulgarian lines by night. The Turks were surround ed and defeated with great sla ukhter, and on December. 10th Osman Pasha surrendered unconditionally with 3O.- 900 men, 128 officers and 100 guns By the victory of the Russians at Plevna and in other less importan,
 battles Bulgaria became an autonom-
 ous principality, under the suzeraintv of Turkey but with a Christian and practically independent government So it remained until 1908, when the last vestige of Turkish authority was thrown off and Prince Ferdinand. the German prince who had succeeded to | the throne in 1887, proclaimed himself czar.
 All the reports from neutral sources l indicate that Ferdinand and a few of his advisers were responsible for Bull gariats entrance into the war on the side of Germany, and what little pop- ular enthusiasm was aroused bv the conquest of Serbia has now seemingly died down. With strong armies of British, French and Serbians to the south, and Roumania threatenine from the north, the Bulgarians now | realize that their position is not the safest in the world. They can ex- pect little more assistance from Ger
 many and Austria, for the armies of
 the two Kaisers are likely to be kept busy elsewhere.
 When Bulgaria entered the present Awar she had not fully recovered from

 NOW ON TRAIL

Douglas, Ariz, Sept. 7-Six masked bandits, who last night held up the Golden State Limited of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway, near Apache, forty miles east of Douglas, early today were being trailed by a sheriff's posse, organized immediately after the holdup.
 The attempted robbery was a com plete failure.
 The bandits after six attempts to blow open the safe of the express car, abandoned the job and disap- peared on COW ponies. The passeng- CTS were not molested.
 One shot was fired at the mail clerk, as he closed the door and lock- ed himself in the car. Two of the robbers boarded the tender at Apache covered the engine crew with revol- vers and after the first three cars were detached were joined by four companions waiting at @ campfire nearby.

Hughes will carry all of the normally republican states with in the jurisdiction of the Chicago head quarters and will break into the col umn of normally democratic states. with Missouri and Kentucky.
 There is no doubt whatever about the outcome in the vest" said MT Hert. Charles F. Hughef will carry every republican state beyond all ques- ton. He has made a wonderful cam paign in that section. is being ably supported all along the line and the state organizations are doing splendid work in every state. Among the rank and file the enthusiasm is unbound ed for the head of the ticket l have no reservation in my mind when I say there is no doubt about the west be- ing for Hughes"
 Speaking of the situation in specific states, Mir Hert added: There has been a good deal of talk about this or that state being doubtful I am cer- tain that however doubtful any state may be at this moment. whether doubtful in fact or for publicity pur- pose on the part of tho opposition, there will be no doubt on election. Wisconsin is one of the states that has had a lot of publicity of this kind Wisconsin will be carried by Mir Hughes. Senator La Toilette will be reelected and so will Governor Philips. In other words, the entire republican ticket from top to bottom will be successful in Wisconsin. In diana is as certainly republican today as any state could be. Illinois and Oth CT western states have also had con siderable advertising of late as doubt ful states but they are not doubtful now and never have been and never will be. Furthermore. l speak advis edly. Missouri is going republican this fall and will have another mysterious stranger along side of er-Kontucky.

Mary PicItord has scored her greatest triumps on the screen in such productions of the Famous Players Film Company as Madame Butterfly and Poor Little Peppina '" in both of which she has assumed the role of victim of circumstances. In The Eternal Grind" which is coming to the opera house tonight however, Miss Pickford plays totally oliterent role certain to become one of her most popular impersonations- the capable, undaunted powerful personality which rises unflinchinglv to meet every crisis in a life of hard ship. The picture is released on the Paramount program and is one of the best the opera house has shown for some time
