 The lot of 8 movie star has its hours of trial and tribuletion, as well as Of satisfaction. The sharp call of the d. rector to register joy" or register terror or register any one of the thou sand and one human emotions which are displayed upon the film must be obeyed, whatever the emotion which happens to be uppermost In the actors mind at the moment. It Is not easy always to have such factle command Of the face, as Is demanded for this work, either from the camera artist or the worker in the Legitimate" and for the former 1t Is perhaps even harder than for the latter, since many of the acces- sories which go to throw the actor on the stage into the spirit of his work are absent in the studio. It cannot be easy to register longing in the midst of a babel of directors and property men and disengaged performers, with the camera grinding away in front of one and a half dozen strange "sets" being nOislly erected on all sides.
 To assist the actor in this thankless task the photograph has been called into play. Picture the sweet country maid dreaming of her lover in faroff land. The director tells her to look wistful, longing, melancholy or what you will. He gives the command "GoF which is the signal for action, the talking machine Is stalted, and the strains of "I Hear You Calling Me are heard A sympathetic note is struck in the heart of the actress, her facial expression is indicative of the effect of the music, and the proper mood Is called forth.
 I've know how much music en- hances the effect of the motion picture as presented in the theater," says the director responsible for this nnoEa- lion. "The audience does not often re- aIlze the importance of the musical accompaniment, but omit the music and they will feel the difference in moment"-Philadelphla Press-

PASSING OF THE BUFFALO.
This Tragedy of thO Fur Trade an AS.
 eidsnt of Civilization.

Ghi0 Tragedy of the Fur lradS Ab No'
 eidsnt of Civilization.
 Speaking of the buffalo, which is now becoming rare and which might have been saved for both food and game purposes, the author of Let Us Go Aheld," Emerson Hough, writes:
 "An the high grade, well system atized butchery in which the beef trust did not play a part ended only about twenty yeafs ago. The Indians refuse to believe that it is ended. They pray to their leaders among the white men to take them north, far away, where the buffalo have gone.' Being told there Is no such land, they take 1t out sc praying for a hereafter in which there shall be plenty of buffalo.
 ''The destruction of the buffalo was the tragedy of the fur trade. It was not so much a blunder in commerce as It was an accident of civilization. The belt of the machinery of progress got loose when the railroads came and the engine raced There was a time of furry and unpreparedness when our transportation for the first time ran ahead of us. It was the great plains railroads that killed Of the buffalo.
 "We wiped the west of the earth, If not of the map, long ago. and now we seek to water its grave with national irrigation. The terms civilized and sav- age are. however, but relative, and there is always some sort of balance struck between them. Continually we make war upon the wilderness, its peo- pie, its creatures; yet, having done so we covet again the wilderness, yearn for 1t, depend upon 1t and ape it even h our clothing. We may abolish the wilderness from the earth and from the map, but we cannot abolish if from our blood. It is therefore a mat ter of course after all that having eaten the heart out of our cake, We shall manage to get along with the fragments left around the edge. We may pay a little more for the trag. ments than for all the rest, but We can afford 1t. We are rich, richg'

South American Publicity Campaign
on to Find "sIain" Woman.

RIO DE JANEIRo. April 2.-The
fate of Victor z. Innes, lawyer, of
Portland, Ore, and San Antonio, Tex,
accused of the murder of Mrs. Elois
Dennis and her sister, Beatrice
Nelms, today depends on the finding
of the two girls alive in South
America, according to advertisements
appearing in papers here today.
These advertisements are said to
have been authorized by South Amer
lean consuls acting on advice from
the State Department at Washington.
Innes is the lawyer who, the girls
mother alleged, went to Atlanta,
Georgia and, after alternating the az
fection of Mrs. Dennis for her hus-
band, defrauded her of her fortune,
and then murdered her and her sis
ter. in an attempt to make IT appear
that they had taken the money and
gone to a foreign land.
The advertisements state that af-
ter the girls supposed murder they
were seen in Jacksonville, Fla, and
that they remarked there that they
were about to make a trip to South
America and the West Indies. The
mother reported this rumor to WASH
ington.
So far as can be learned the girls
have not been seen in any of the
South American countries

WILL ASK PROMPT
ACTION ON CENSUS
District Commissioners Will Try
= to Get Appropriation of
$4,000 at Once.

Now that Congress has reconvened,
endeavor will be made by the Com
missioners to obtain without delay
an appropriation for taking a mill
tary census of the District, as pro
vided for by the act of March 1, 1890.
This was the announcement of Com
missioner Brownlow today.
When, a year ago, the act was
brought to the,attention OF the Com
missioners by Brig. Gen. William E..
Harvey, 1t was discovered that the
District wasI without funds to carry
it into effect. An item of $4,000 for
expenses incident to the enrolment
was included in the general defic-
Iency bill which failed Of passage at
the last session.
The Commissioners will urge, in
view OF the impending international
crisis, the importance OF early ac'
tion. The act requires that the Com
missionefs shall provide for the en-
rollment, for the national guard, OF
male residents within the District
of Columbia between the ages OF
eighteen and forty-five, except such
as are exempted tITOH hiiiitdfy SeI-
vice, the enrolment to be accom-
pushed through the Assessor OF
Taxes"
It is planned to employ a temporary
force in the office OF the assessor
which will make q complete roster OF
the District Blank slips will be pro
vided on which will be obtained, the
name, age, and physical condition OF
male residents, with information
showing whether they are married or
single. From three TO four weeks,
IL H estimated, will be required to
complete the work.
When the appropriation bill Vailed 1t
was suggested that the Police Depart
ment be called upon to do the work.
The Commissioners, however, were OF
the opinion that the police, in addi-
tion to their other duties. could not
satisfactorily accom-: lish the task in
the time required.
The validity OF the law has been
upheld in an opinion Of the corpora
tion counsel.

Five years ago. on a cold March
day. a shaggy, hungry dog sneaked
into the quarters of Engine Company

The firemen eyed him curiously as
he cuddled up to the fire and shook
the March chills from his veins. He
returned their gaze with apprehensive
glances. as If fearing to be driven out,
as he probably would have been in
many a private dwelling.
But fremen are a good lot of fell
lows. and they gave the stranger to
understand that he could stay as long
as he wished. The dog, with signs of
gratitude, accepted the invitation and
never left the company until Satur-
day. when the reclaimed vagabond was
killed under the wheels of the engine

The firemen wanted to stop and
minister to their wounded pet, but
a box had been pulled, and off the
engine dashed, leaving Rags dying at
