Midway island.

Midway is the name Of small coral
island in the Pacific ocean which is
made to bear it's part in mans scheme
Of things as relay station of the
Commercial Pacific Cable company.
At the beginning it was just about
large enough for the purpose to which
it is put, but it is growing and has
bright prospects. Every three months
a schooner is sent to Midway with
food and other supplies for the cable
operators. Whatever space there is
in the ship not required for supplies
is filled up with the native soil of
Hawaii, where the vessel is QUILTED,
and the earth is dumped where it will
do the most good toward rounding out
the periphery of Midway. This pro-
cess has been going on so long and
successfully that there is now mead
ow almost extensive enough to afford
pasturage for a COW. Not all of the
facts herein set forth might be read
lily accepted as such, but they are
rendered doubtproof by publication
in Commercial Reports" which, as
all know, has the backing and sane
ton Of federal government.

Keeping It From the Public.

One night during the run of Under
Cover at the Cort theater in New
York, William Courtenay, who Is sup
posed to toss a string of pearls to his
pal waiting beneath the window, made
wild pitch, and the heavy jewels
went into the audience and hit a man,
seated near the front, in the forehead,
cutting his skin deeply, and causing
him to bleed profusely. The man was
taken to a retiring room, and his
wound dressed, and the press repre-
sentative bent every effort, and sue
cessfully, to keep the story from the
papers. It's publication would not have
encouraged timid persons to occupy
front row seats and expose themselves
to the chance of being struck i'm the
eye with Struggled pearls.

twenty-five years ago there took
place the first performance in England
of Ibsen's Ghosts" remarks the Lon
don Times.
The play formed the opening pro-
duction of the Independent theater,
founded by J. T. Grein, who recalls
that the occasion elected no less than
500 articles, mostly vituperating Ib-
sen, while some families closed their
doors against Mr.. Grein on the ground
that he had produced an immoral play.
Another storm was raised by Zola's
"Therese Raquin,' the second play of
the society-whose first members in
cluded George Meredith, Thomas
Hardy, Sir Arthur Sullivan and Henry
Arthur Jones.
One OF the greatest successes OF
the Independent theater occurred in
1893, when Mr.. Grein obtained from
Bernard Shaw the manuscript of his
first play, "Widowerg' Houses

New York Nations Beauty Market

In the beautiful women stage New
York leads the world. Such is the die
tum of F1orenZ Ziegfeld, Jr., master
impresario of the musical stage, who
is keen Judge Of charming feminity
1t is an art with him-an art which has
made his productions famous. Il am
not speaking at random when | say
that the capitals of Europe cannot pro-
duce anything to compare with the
American beauty of the stage" says
Mr.. Ziegfeld. I'm my career I have
probably passed Judgment on $4,000
young women, and not more than one
in 25 was chosen. The type demand
must not be more than feet in
height, beautiful in face, form and
manner, possessed of youth, grace,
soul, personality, and she must not be
more than twenty-five years old. The
showgirl type is a type that has
passed. The girl of Irish extraction is
the ideal chorus girl. The thin girl,
the fat girl, the wax-figure girl is not
desired. The American chorus girl is
the most beautiful, most finished type
in the world. And New York is the
beauty market of the nation"

Editor News:
Well. Brown Eyes," if this place
was sold out ye writer did not do the
selling mol get any of the money. If
it was soil out, of course the scabs or
strike breakers, whichever you may
call them-some call them one thing
and some another, but the right name
is company sucks-dil it. AS to the
soup bone, they gave up the bone to
the strikebieakers and they have got
the marrow all out and now they are
sucking the bone. If they can get the
bone to suck. Now, l want to say
this, that a strikebreaker is a imam
that is robbing himself and all other
men out of their rights. even robbing
little children out of their privilege,
and you will deny this. Mr.. Strike
breaker, but you just tell your boss
that you are trying to organize and
see if you have't sold your own privi-
leges. Try him, see what be says.
Let man tell you of your faults, and
then some two or three of you will
get together and say this and that
about him, simply because he is an
honest man, OF course some of our
good union men are sucking the bone,
but the strike breaker has forced him
into it. Is that all you have brought
on him. 1 think not, from what You
say. II you all tell the truth, you
have caused him to have to dig about
three tons for two If this isn't true
the miners have made the faults, not
me. Here are the facts. II a man
will hold to company and try to
break strike, or break it, there is
nothing too mean for that mau to do.
and if he gets out of job he will al
most get down on his knees to the boss
and beg him to give him work, and
pledge to stay with him. l will say
chat scab is not q christian. for we
must assist each other. and administer
unto those that need help.
Brown Eyes, do not know any
thing about the soup the union men
got, but IL it was as good as the otner
grub they beat what You and l are
getting today. So, IL the scabs have
got the bone, let them suck it, for the
company wanted to bring them down
to the bone 80 that taey could do as
they pleased with them. / think that
there is no use in growing. do not
think that many mep at this place
have even got the soup bone

reason why we must have a COLLAR
