At the Dream.

Marguerite Clark came back to the Dream last night in Mice and Men," one of her big successes. Miss Clarks exquisite daiutiness in the role of Peggy is a fortunate se- lection to follow SO closely upon her recent appearance at the Dream in "The Prince and Pauper.' It affords a splendid opportunity for studying the versatility of the diminutivc star from the part of a boy to that of charming young girl with all of the grace and ease of which hu- man ingenuity is capable. Mice and Men" is a southern laid story and Miss Clark portrays every stage from the orphan girl to her ulti- mate debut as a charming and grace ful society bud. Exceptional fine support is given Marshal Neilan and Charles Waldron, the latter playing the part of the one who adopted the orphan. The other characters are all good. Miss Clark continues at the Dream tonight, matinee and night tomorrow.

Mysterious Hand.

The manner in which the mySter- ious hand drops the dagger in the new Vitagraph "The Man Behind the Curtain" is quite worthy of spe- cial mention. This mysterious ele- ment might easily be oyerdrawn and the picture become absurd in its at tempt to be mystical.
 Perhaps the scene which makes the greatest impression upon a spec tator's imagination is the velvet curtain, slowly parted as hand stretches forth in a sinister manner, dropping a dagger directly in the path of the frightened girl who has come to the house in application for position and found the woman dead in her chair.

This number is in addition to the
5000 soldiers recently ordered trans
ferred from this camp to Camp Pike,

Chicago, Nov. 13.-Corn-After a
period Of easiness early, corn turned
strong and made another high mark
on the present upturn. The volume OF
outside trade continued moderate, a
few local traders being responsible for
the markets action. There is good
ground for the belief that there will be
no shortage Of available cars for the
purpose of moving corn, as government
officers are thought to be determined
to furnish relief in this direction. Until
such a situation occurs, ii will be an
easy matter for bulls to make demon
STATIONS similar to those Of yesterday
and today but their task Will
become increasingly difficult as the
movement increases and the price ap-
proaches the maximum.
Oats-A good many long oats were
sold late yesterday, and early today
the offerings, however. were we'll taken
by cash interests and the market
turned strong. particularly for the
December delivery, which at one time
sold at a-premium over the May.
Offerings increased in volume but were
held, for the most part, for slightly
higher prices. Urgent short coverings
seems to have been satisfied for the
moment.
