Just how this title came to be given
tn the decoration is not known. The
award Is issued every two years to

most heroic deed in life-saving during

It was on October 30. 1914. that
Major Burton took out the lifeboat to
proceed to tho rescue OF the wrecked
hospital ship Rohilla, and in the face
of a terrific gale and a raging sea
brought the Tynemouth motor life-

will most satisfactorily answer this
question few years ago the ma
ton was shocked by an unusually
brutal lynching at Coatsville, Pennsyl-
vsnia. THIS town IL located in the
heart OF a coal and steel district: its
population, like that OF most OF our
Industrial centers. represents nearly
all nauonalities with considerable
sprinkling OF the native stock. The
thinking people. including the heads
of most OF the steel plants, got to-
gether to devise ways OF 20 improving
social conditions that such a tragedy
should never disgrace them again. As
usual, the alcohol molecule seemed to
be the influence that chiefly promoted
race disturbances, and the plans for
n house-cleaning necessarily took the
form of eradicadns this nuisance.

Of the Lukens Iron and Steel Com
pany. q concern that employs two

looms. When. a year afterward, an
effort was made to reopen them. Mr..
Huston got up from q sick bed to
protest before the court The closing.
ne said--and the other manufacturers
agreed with him-had worked an al
most unbelievable improvement In
conditions. It had decreased acct
dents fifty per cent in the Lukens
plant The quality OF employees had
improved and tho superintendent
had had much less trouble In getting
efficient men. The grand Jury OF
Chester County submitted report
declaring that crime had greatly de-
creased purchases OF children's and
creased purchases OF children's and
women's clothing. bank presidents re-
ported q great increment In savings
deposits, and citizens generally de-
clared that Coatsvtlle had become q
decent place of residence. In the
old days, the average citizen was
afraid to let his wife and daughter
walk up the main street: now a drunk
en- man was a rarity.
All this reads like the report Of the
w. C. IT. r. or the American Tenn
perance Society: what makes the EVIL
dence significant is that 1t is supplied
by unimaginative business men.

NATIONAL.

There are some names the thought
or mention of which conjures uu dis
tinct personalities, such as Handel,
Bach. Beethoven and Wagner, but none
of more extraordinary individuality than
that of Paganini. Though few can now
be living who ever saw the man,
though his portraits are not now common
ly met with, the name of Paganini at
once calls up a picture-eccentric
weird. almost uncanny.
Paganini's story is a romance, a
drama, a tragedy. 1t is the first of
these that Edward Knoblauch has
taken for the groundwork of his Pa
ganini," in which George Arliss will
appear at the National tomorrow night.
Two romances are on record in the
great Italian maestro's career The
earlier concerned the Signora Bianchi.
The latter occurred during Paganinfs
stay in London. Charlotte Watson,
daughter of his host. bewitched of the
musicians magic. fell in love with the
man himself. despite their disparity in
age. But Paganini felt himself for
ever morally bound to his former
love. Charlotte was willing and anx-
ious to leave parent and home to be
with Paganini. She followed him to
Dover, and crossed with him to Calais.
wrought for Mr.. Arliss a play with
love as it's theme. and the figure of the
violinist as its center. The fire of the
great Italians genius, his oddities of
manner and thought. the eccentricities
of his personality are blended, 1t is
said, by the actor into a finely wrought
characterization rivaling his inimitable
work in "DisraeH."
Mr.. Arliss in "Paganini' comes here
under the management of Messrs.
klaw and Erlanger and George {. Ty-
Ter, who have furnished him a splendid
supporting company. Five of the pres
ent cast were in Mr.. Arliss 'Disraeli"
company. His leading woman this sea-
son is Margery Maude, the talented
ers include Florence Auer, Mrs Arliss,
Leila Repton, Rosina Henley, Charles
Harbury, Dudley Diggs, Dion Tither-
adge, Edgar Kent, Noel Tearle and
Fred Nichols.
