Such words as these, and those of

from men Of standing and integrity

have been benefited thereby.
There are numerous symptoms of this

DESPITE BAD INJURY
Shelly Hull, of Cinderella Man" Com
pany Exhibits Crit.
BY THE PLAYGoEH.

The old adage to the effect that 'nne

siderably in the case of the Cinderella
Man." which is playing at the Belasco
this week. Shelly Hull, who plays the
romantic part of the garret-ridden
author. Antony Quintard. wears but one
suit throughout the entire performance
a well-worn blue serge-yet none can
deny the superior standing Of this char
acter.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hull. leading
man with Billie Burke In Jerry" wore
six complete changes of attire, each OF
which was tailored to the final minute
OF fashions DEGREES. But in that play
Mr.. HulPs part was almost forgotten be-
cause of its complete subordination to
that Of the star.
Few of those who watch with delight
the work of Mr.. Hull this week realize
that every time he moves his right arm
he suffers the most violent pain. This IL
the result of an injury received last Sun
day while on a fishing trip near Balti-
more.
I'VE had been fishing a couple of
hours" said Mr.. Hull, when for the
first bite landed a crab. was so dis
gusted that I slapped 1t of the hook. but
rocked not of Mr.. Crabs preparedness,
and instead Of slapping his back I struck
one of the claws. driving It into my hand
about an inch. I had the wound dressed.
but since then my entire right forearm
has been practically paralyzed.
THE worst feature is that I am forced
to stop golf for time. Believe me, that

REPORT ON DYESTUFFS
NOT TO BE SUPPRESSED

The census Of the American dyestur
industry, recently completed by the
Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic Com
merce will not be suppressed, despite pro-
tests by American importers connected
with the German chemical monopoly,
Secretary of Commerce Redfield announc-
ed yesterday.
The report on the census has been tenn
porarily withdrawn from publication
pending investigation OF complaints fled
by Herman A. Metz, and the Badische
Company Of New York. They assert
that the publication of details of the
German-American dye importing business
would be a violation Of business conf
dence. II is probable that some OF the
details of the census viii be eliminated
before the report is made public
American textile concerns and dyestuff
manufacturers are beseiging the depart
ment to make the census public in its
original form

lowny and jury in Police Court yester-
day, charged with violation Of the false

erdashery, testified the tie was not Of

1884 PERSONS LOST LIVES
One Big Town ls Wiped Out and Many
Villages Are Destroyed
BY Forest Fires.

Toronto.-With one town complete
ly wiped out, another almost in ruins
and a score of small settlements oblit-
Grated, Premier Hearst announces that
1874 persons lost their lives in the for
est fires in Nrthern Ontario.
Only heavy rainfall on July 81
probably saved a great part OF the
homeless and the Dominion govern
ment has taken extraordinary meas
ures to provide for the refugees.
Where the town of Matheson once
stood there are only smouldering
ruins and ashes. The country sur
rounding 1t is as barren as a desert.
Only a few structures in the village
Of Cochrane remain standing.
The greatest loss OF life occurred
at Nushka and Monteith, partly in
ruins, where IS persons were burned
to death. At Matheson S5 persisted.
Iroquois Falls, where great paper mills
are located, was not entirely burned,
as at first reported The paper mills
and one store were saved from the
flames.
1.-THE relief work throughout the dis
trict is well in hand" said the premier.
Everything possible is being done.
We will spare no expense to give the
necessary relief"
