Keeneys patrons laughed uproar- l iously last evening over the funny. an- l tics of Charlie Chaplin, the comedian appearing in the title role of The
 Firemen," new Mutual release which is serving as the photoplay feature for the entire week. First nighters' agreed that the picture was probably the most amusing screen comedy in which the popular fun maker has been seen '"The Fireman" is a two-reeler and is but a series of laugh results from the nonsensical antics of Charlie
 and his company of Mutual players.
 The picture is to be shown daily and the management has decided against raising the admission price, the cus tom followed by most motion picture | theaters during Chaplin weeks, since l the price of his films has been raisd
 ''The Girl at the Curtain" a double
 reel drama and "Object Matrimony," l Otis Harlan's newest comedy, will also
 be on tonight's program.
 | Howard Esterbrook and Jean South 1 ern will be seen tomorrow in the latest | episode of the Mysteries of Myra"
 serial. "A Strange Case" and Man ] From Nowhere" the latter a five-reel | Red Feather feature, will be among | the releases on the bill.
 | For the balance of the week the pro- ] gram is given as follows: Thursday, "The Scapegrace" and "The Devils
 Image" Friday, ''The Ancient Blood' l and Her Souls Song and Saturday, "A Traitor to Art' and 'The Finer l Meta1.''
 In addition to the film releases there l are three acts of vaudeville every day.

An antique dealer who, among his other activities, buys and sells old books, told me that he had stand ing orders from collectors all over this country and from many on the other side of the water, for certain books. The prices these collectors were willing to pay ran as high as Q thousand dollars a volume.
 And are they very beautiful books?' I asked.
 "Beautiful? No!" he answered. Some of them are the most hideous things you ever saw. They're rare. That's all.'
 What does that mean, boiled down It means that these people are willing to pay these pig sums for the privilege of owning something other people can't get.
 No, They Didn't Want to Use Them.
 At the summer resort where l spent part of last summer, on one of the holidays the summer colony held m athletic meet. Among the events was a round of target shooting. The chil- dren of the colony were present, of course, and conceived a mania for col lecting the various kinds of empty shells. What did they do with them? Nothing. They simply wanted to get possession of them. They made a nuisance of themselves hanging about the marksmen. They gave us heart disease by getting into the danger zone in their excitement. They showed their business instinct by contracting for specially rare and hence specially precious sizes of shells in advance. They compared and swapped treas ures, they boasted and g1oated and even fought over their possessions.

Collecting

And yet, they really had no use whatever for the shells, for, if my small nephew is any sign to judge by, they threw them all away the next day.
 Even as you and I.
 And yet-what a lot of momentary fun they got out of it all.
 Again, even as you and I. Is It More Foolish to Collect Or Not
 To Collect?
 Is it foolish to be 8 collector, or is it more foolish not to, when one can get so much pleasure out of build ing up ones collection and showing it off to other collectors?
 I do not quite know how to answer myself.
 There are collections and collec- tions. In some cases, where there is no utility or beauty in the thing col lected, the only motive is to have things others cant have. <
 In other cases that motive is not present, but it is not the only motive
 In any case, we should keep the collection where it belongs-in the perspective, as one of the smaller pleasures of life, and be careful that we do not ever fail to subordinate it to the larger and more vital interests and concerns and happinesses.
 With My Letter Friends.
 Is it proper to accept the attentions of young men while visiting in another city with friends?
 AnsWer-If the young men are ln- troduced to the girl by friends whom her parents are willing to have her visit, why shouldn't she accept their attentions In individual cases, there might of course be objections that I do not know of.

IRISH EXPORTS.
Shipbuildfng at Belfast Responsible
 For Great Increase.

Dublin, Ireland, June 20.-Irish cX- ports have increased considerably on account Of the war. The official re- turns just completed for the year 1914 show a total of 77,3OO,OO0 pounds, m increase of three and a half million pounds over 1913. The increase is due almost entirely to the shipbuild- ing at Belfast.
 It is g. curious feature of the report that although fifty-four per cent of the Irish exports are represented by farm produce and fOodstuffs, thirty seven per cent of Ireland's 73,000, 900 pounds of import should be food and the department of agriculture com- ments pointedly on the fact that q food-producing country should be annually importing great quantities of farm produce, much of which is ad- mirably suited for raising at home.
 One the whole the report is regard cd as a gratifying record of continued progress in Ireland. In addition to the increase in exports, the decade has also witnessed an increase of imports by thirty-five per cent in value and

LINCOLN CONFESSES
 GUILT TO FORGERY
But Complains Britain Should Re-
 ward, Not Punish Him

London, June 20.-Ignatius T. Lin- coin, the former member of parlia- ment who was arraigned for prelim- mary hearing in the Bow street police court on the charge of forgery, es- tablished the fact late yesterday aft ernoon that it was the British ad- 1 miralty which indirectly was respon- sible for his extradition from the United States.
 Lincoln, who is conducting his own defense, brought this out in cross l examining Seebohm Rowntree, whose name the prisoner is charge1 with having forged. He asked the witness whether he was not surprisd that the admiralty, which ordinarily nas noth-, ing to do with criminal prosecutions, had interested itself in this matter Rowntree replied in the negative. ad- ding:
 They thought that if these charges were pushed and you were punished for forgery you would no longer he a danger to the British Empire"
 The defendants questioned ROwn- tree regarding what he was told at the admiralty concerning Lincoln's transactions The witness replied that he had been informed Lincoln had told the admiralty he mad been at Rotterdam, where he had obtained by purchase certain information which might be valuable, and that Lincoln had made extravagant de- mands for payment for this informal tion At this point in the testim ony Lincoln cried out:

Suspected by Admiralty.


 Rowntree continued that the admir- atty considered Lincoln's conduct suspicious. Sir John Dickinson said to Lincoln:
 "The preliminary examination is being made to determine whether you should go for trial on the charge of forgery. Political matters have noth- ing to do with the hearing of this case If you choose to go into them I am not going to prevent you if you ! think it in any way advantageous to your case.'
 Lincoln addressed the court for two hours Toward the close of his speech he said:
 q was driven on by ambition, lurel by the deceptive prizes of life. Hav ing lost nearly all my money, I did forge those documents"
 The prisoner added that while he was in the employ of the British gov ernment he devised a scheme to de- stroy the German navy, hut that Great Britain declined to adopt his plan because it would involve dis closure of the whereabouts of the British navy.
 Describing the manner in which, he said, he obtained valuable informa- tion about the German system of es- pionage, which he placed at the dis posal of the British government Lin coin said it was "a deVe1iSh lie" to accuse him of treason. On the con- trary, he had betrayed Germany. He concluded his address with an ex- pression of the hope of mercy
 Committed for Trial.
 oo;c 1,o had only two legal points to decide, and was against Lincoln on both of them. Accordingly, he committed him to await trial by the higher court at the next session.
 At the conclusion of the prelimin- ary hearing, before he decided to plead guilty, Lincoln made a state ment to the court summing up his case in which he defed the govern ment to proceed with the trial. He cOntcnded no evidence had been put before the court to prove that the forged signatures had been written by him, and declared the prosecution had been undertaken by a vengeful and vindicative government.
 If he cared to fight the case, Lin coin declared, the government would not have an easy conviction. He as- serted the proceedings represented an attempt to punish him, not for for gerry but for a political o1ferse, and that under the treaty between the United States and Great Britain the case could not proceed. Further more, he said, the British government should have honored and regarded him instead of seeking vengeance upon him. He defied the government to proceed with the case in the face of the treaty. saying the Secretary of State at Washington would demand his immediate surrender, becausa the courts of the United States had been deliberately deceived.
 Lincoln proceeding to tell the story of his life, mentioning the fact that he was born in Hungary of Jewish parents. He spoke with emotion, and both the prisoner and Mrs. Lincoln Wept repeatedly.
