Mexican Border Show

There is no subject of such i'm
portance, just now, as the Mexi-
can question. The strained situa-
ton along the border, the almost
imminent possibilities of serious
consequences keeps Mexico con-
tinually in print. To have a fea-
ture film treat with faithfulness
to detail, it's location on the very
soil Of Mexico, and to bring to
residents of the United States
truthful replicas of life in Mexico
may be considered timeliness ex-
IRENE. This is what "The Yaqui,"
sensational Bluebird Photoplay
will do when exhibited at the
Newark Opera House on Friday,
July 7th, with the favorite cam
era-actor, Hobart Bosworth, play

SYNOPSIS OF THE YAOUP'

DEACEFUL and domestic, fond of his wife
and proud of his children, the Yaqui is
one of the nobest of the tribes who peopled
this Continent before Columbus came. In
his peaceful tepees on the Mexico mountain
sides he lives reigiously and uprightly as
any man who drinks from the fount of high
er civilization.
But deep in his heart slumbers the spark
of wild untutored Iudan vengeance for
wrongs committed; hatred of the man who
wounds his feelings or casts dersion upon his
religious customs and traditions. Once
aroused, the wild and primitive nature that
has slumbered, brooks no curb when the op-
portunity arrives for vengeance upon those
who spurn his tribal beliefs.
The Yaqu, in Bluebird Photoplay, has
been tricked and trapped into slavery in the
peon camps of Yucatan His wife and child
are ruthlessy debased and slaughtered by
the brutal overseer. Back in the mountains
from whence they brought The Yaqui there
is Mexican troop commander who is the
direct cause of the Yaqui's misfortunes
The retribution of the Yaqui is set forth
i'll thrilling scenes, desperate encounters and
brilliant battles in five stirring reels of grip
ping photoplay--and the vengeance of Yaqui
is complete.

.rha roneh of civiliza+ion.

In the history of civilization first one
nation arises and becomes the torch
bearer and then another takes the
torch as it becomes stronger, the
stronger always pushing the weaker
aside and becoming in its turn the
leader. Each nation that has borne the
torch of civilization has followed some
path peculiarly It's own. Egyptian,
Syrian, Persian. Greek, Roman, Frank,
all had their ideal of power-order and
progress directed under supreme au-
thority. maintained by armed 'organi-
cation. We Anglo-Saxons bear the
torch of civilization because we pos
sess the principles of civil liberty, and
we have the character, or should have
the character. which our fathers have
transmitted TO US, with which to up
hold it. If we have not, then be sure
that with tho certainty of a law of
nature some nation-it may be one or
it may be another-already knocking at
our doors. will push us from the way
and take the torch and bear it onward.
and we shall go dOwn.-Thomas Mel

How Romans Took Their Food.

The Romans reclined at their BAN
quets on couches, all supporting them
selves on one elbow and eating with
their fingers from dishes placed in the
center of the table. Each was supplied
with a napkin. and knives were used.
though it does not appear that every
one was supplied with one Nothing,
it would seem, could be more fatiguing
than to partake of repast in such an
awkward posture or less conducive to
neatness, it being almost impossible to
keep the hands clean even with water
supplied by the slaves or to prevent the
food and wine from falling on the
clothing and the draperies of the couch.
This manner OF eating disappeared
during the dark ages SO far as the
couch was concerned, but the peculiar
ity of taking food with the fingers from
a common dish continued afterwar3
for more than 1000 years.

Blome had heard that qufnZe gave the
best opportunity of testing a mans
character, and he was anxious to try
the experiment on me- I thought to
myself, I'm teach him. I lost a few
hundred thalers, for which l might
well have claimed reimbursement from
the state. But 1 got around Blome in
that way and made him do what 1
wanted. He took me to be reckless and
yielded.''-London Chronicle

TALKS ON LOYALTY

The loyalty of Germans who have
made America their home was the
topic of an address before the Ger
man Central Verbund by DR.. Karl O.
Bertling of the Amerika institute of
Berlin at Germania hall last night.
He declared that the loyalty of
Germans who have become American
citizens cannot be doubted. They
are absorbed in their interests here
and consequently have little time to
keep posted on internal develop
ments in their mother country.
Before the opening of the European
war America and American institu-
lions were highly regarded in Ger
many and even today, where there is
more or less feeling on both sides,
America is highly regarded.

SIX etch which he then called Joshua,
Whitcomb,' The success Of this sketch
led him to expand it into a play which
was presented for the first time at the
Boston theatre in 1886 under it's pres

The marvellous popularity of this
rustic Drama which has made an I'M
paralleled appeal to all classes and
ages ever since its first appearance, is
easily explained by the fact that it
paints real life in it's truest and best
aspects, and that it tells the simplest
of stories concerning the simplest of
people. 1t is human nature without
its confusing and battling veneer-the
sort of DEMONSTRATIONS that every
body comprehends because of its very
naivete.

Classification of Stars.

In classifying stars astronomers rec
ognize six degrees of magnitude, but
the term relates to radiance or bril-
nancy rather than to size. Although
the classification is somewhat arbi-
trary, yet each degree of magnitude is
approximately two and half times as
brilliant as Il star of the next magni-
tude below. Then, too. each magnitude
is about three times more numerous
than the one which precedes it. Be-
ginning with the brightest, there are
visible without a glass about twenty
stars of the first magnitude, about six
ty-dve of the second magnitude. nearly
200 of the third magnitude, over 400 of
the fourth magnitude. about HOO of
the fifth and over 5000 of the sixth.
The total number of stars that can be
seen by the unaided eye is about 5000,
