 For several days concern has been manifested in shipping circles regarding the fate of the Appam, many days over- due on a 10-day trip from Dakar, in the French colony of Senegal, west Africa, for Plymouth. In the insurance market hope was nearly abandoned, and it was difficult to effect reinsurances, even at the high rate of 75 guineas per cent.

Lymph" Manager Abernethy de- cided to run this Fine Arts-Trian- gle feature at the Colonial theatre today. This is a story of a woman disappointed in love who rears her daughter in the woods without the knowledge that such a rare brute as man existed. Later on friend daughter meets with a specimen and immediately thereafter she starts telling sweet stories to mamma. This characteristic story of the frailness of the feminine is artistically portrayed by Miss Marie Doro, who makes a charm ing wood nymph." Charles West, as "The Man." and Wilfrid Lucas as "The Brother" help out consid- erably.

crat. Six of the eight justices now on the bench are republicans.
 The senators who approve the nomina- ton of MT. Brandeis declared that the opposition was largely in the realm of talk which would disappear as the ap- pointment was considered with mature deliberation. They conceded however, that contest over a supreme court ap- pointment was not out of the ordinary and recalled that Chief Justice White had one vote cast against him when President Taft elevated him to the head of the bench
 On the whole. however, no question that comes before the Senate is ever treated on such a nonpartisan basis as an appointment to the supreme court It even prevails to a greater extent than in the ratification of treaties which often take on party lines. The indications are that the opponents and champions of Mr. Brandeis will be found on both sides of the chamber when the vote comes.

O EVERAL letters were received yesterday by the department N> conducted by the Footlights and Screen for esthetic patrons of the movies who cannot bear the sooth- ing groans of the automatic pianos and organs in the photopIay theatres of the city. Some commended and others were not quite so positive.
 One wag wrote that it gave me intense delight a few days ago to witness a photoplay in which the plot was about a young woman who in the regular battle for existence fell to the leeward slightly, and she finally ends up in the streets-destitute and dying from hunger. And there she died in the gutter. It was not exactly a parlor scene-but it was one of the brutal knocks of fate, and just as it was screened the automatic piano started playing Railing the Jack,' which added poignancy to the death scene Playing Railing the Jack while a scene is shown of a person about to take a throusr trip to the great unknown is possibly appro- priate-especially if one was assured of the destination-but in polite cir cles a little less syncopation would be preferable The least one could expect would be to die on waltz number-a fast trot is too advanced as yet"
