NOTED NEWSPAPER FoReERlEs
One Contained Report of Funeral OF
GEORGE Washington.

Potentially and usually about this
time copies of the most noted news
paper forgery of the country-the
Ulster County Gazette Of Jan. 4. 1Soo'
with its; account of Washington's fun
eral-comes to light. The only other
newspaper imitation of the kind that
compares in the duplication Of the
yickensburg Citizen printed on wall
paper during the siege in 1852.
IT doubt if there is genuine copy
of the Ulster County Gazette of that
date in existence" Edward A. Henry,
who is in charge Of the University or
Chicago's collection of old newspap-
ers, said in Chicago recently. "At any
rate, 1 have never seen one, nor do i
know of anybody who has.
"N'ilberforce Eames Of the New
York Public Library told me half
dozen years ago that he had made
the most careful examination of
copies Of the Gazette submitted to him
as genuine-even to- chemical analysis
of the paper-and had ALMOST come to
the conclusion that there never was an
original. !.
AT the Library of Congress I was
told they had 26 different editions.
The New York Public Library lists
nine in it's latest catalogue. We have
three, each different from the other.
'T suppose there was once genu-
inc Ulster County Gazette of the date
named, from which all these subse-
quent copies have been made. The
fact that the Wisconsin State Histori-
cal Society. which has the largest COL
lection of old newspapers in the mid
die west. lists two copies of an Ulster
Gazette for Aug. II, and Sept. %, 1904,
strengthens this belief.
1.-The account of Washington's fu-
neral is accurate and interesting. NO
fault can be found on that score, al
though l think reports Of the funeral
in other papers of the same time are
in several instances still more strik-
ing
"rt may have been that many years
after the funeral some printer prob
ably in the vicinity of New York, for
Kingston. Ulster County, is on the
Hudson, thought to produce some
thing Of interest to hers and profit
to himself by making a facsimile OF
an original account. Had he taken

FIGHT TO HIDE KNEES.
Missouri Women Plan Reform for Al
Parts of Nation.

Missouri Women Plan Reform for All
Parts of Nation.
Missouri has Sunlpcd into the lead
in the fight to take the feminine knee
out Of the public eye.
The state, through its delegates went
on record at the National Congress of
Mothers and arent-Teachers' associa-
tion in Washington last week as op-
posed to the display Of knees, shinbones
and large areas of breastbone.
Mrs. Mary Ward Morgan, chairman
of the publicity committee Of the Mis-
souri, state branch, and Mrs. william
Ullman, president, declared to the DEL
egates their intention to- carry their
fight for dress reform to all parts Of the
nation. They reported surprising sue
cess in the high schools Of Missouri.
There is the costume of the Missouri
high school girl: A MILDLY; blue skirt,
reaching we'll down to the ankles; cot
ton hose and low-heeled. shoes: Cos
metics of all sorts are barred. Just
enough powder to take the shine off
the nose Is allowed.
Both Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Ullman,
who are residents of Springfield, Mo-;
reported that the year of reform dress
has been one of the most successful
school years in the history. The phil
osophy and democracy of simple dress
were reflected in the actual work of the
pupils, Mrs Morgan said.
!"We firmly believe that the generally
high marks made in the last school
year-the best in the history of the
schools there-can be attributed direct
ly to the dress REFORM" Mrs. Morgan
said.
Everyone picks on the girls and
there's grandmother cavorting about
dressed up like Fqossie;; the fiirtatious
flapper. It isn't. fair, according to the
mothers who were attending the con-
vention.
Sweet 16" had her inning and
grandmother went. on the grill when
the delegates o'the convention "aired"
their views on dress reform:
1--WE Should begin with grandmother"
said Mrs. orville T. Bright, of Chicago.
when women Of IS walk the streets
in skirts that come nearly to their
knees and with rouge on their cheeks,
what CAN we expect from the girls?
Viewing them from the rear, you
can't tell grandnlothers nowadays from
16-year-old girls
The congress, which represents three
hundred thousand mothers and fathers
and teachers, and has delegates attend
ing its convention; in Washington from
forty states, is agreed on the following
platform of dressiness for high school
girls: =
" No rouge or powder.
No silk stockings.
No narrow skirts.
No<high' heels.
Many Of the delegates advocated a
uniform dress, but the majority saio
appropriate: dress" is enough to urge
with the common sense of mothers to
decide what is appropriate and what IS
not.

FREAKS OF NATURE
A Sea Urchin Which Feeds Itself With
III r-.i' %.

Its Feet.
The nnachiaist who wishes to fasten
a drill into his drill-press or a piece
Of work in his lathes makes use OF
device, called chuck, by which device
two or more jaws are pressed down
against the shank Of the drill or otner
object to be held.
AS one views the chuck these jaws
move outward or inward along lines
radiating from its center and may De
adjusted thereby to fit and hold larger
or smaller pieces Of metal. The ar
rangement that holds bits In a carpen-
ter's brace is an example familiar TO
every house carpenter.
This invention;in mechanics Is many
millions of years older than machin-
ery. Long before the slow processes
of evolution had reached anything like
man Nature had developed in the an
cient seas animals whose descendants
still survive and who used the device
of the drill chuck to seize and hold
their food.
The modern examples are the
spiney, ball-shaped sea urchins, which
you can find on rock bottoms of pools
left at low tide along any rocky sea-
shore.
IF you turn one Of these urchins up
side down you will see at the center
of his underside which was next the
rock, patch of round leathery skin
with q hole in the middle Of it.
This hole is his mouth. and at its
center there are usually visible the
tips of five white teeth which work
toward and away from each other ex-
actly as do the jaws Of the drill chuck.
The urchln eats seaweed and if you
hold a piece of seaweed against his
mouth, of course under water, you will
see the skin around the mouth draw
back rs lips do and five teeth thus eX-
posed begin their work as gnawers.
AS they, move inward and outward
they crunch down on the seaweed and
break off pieces Of it and these pieces
are thrust inward to the stomach.

was as he opened the drawing-room
window that Hugh called after him:
"Do you like the horse Elliman's

"rll send you a bottle for that stiff

Very deliberately Peterson turned
round.

MECCA AN ELABORATE,

Beautiful Dances a Feature Of
Latest Big Extravaganza

Shubert-If they are going to make
their musical spectaclcs any more clah-
orate and spectacular than Mecca
Is, they'll have to enlarge their
stages; If they try to crowd any
more into an evenings entertain
mcnt, they'll have to enlarge their

amy particular high spots as work OF
art, nor that 1t is particularly satisfy
ing as entertainment but for sheer size
and massed effects and dazzling color
schemes and the handling of stage
crowds, it goes about as far as the pres
cnt linear dimensions Of the theatre
permit.
OF course. there's one Of those near
Oriental, make believe stories strung
through to hold the scenes together
but, in spectaclcs, the story Is only al
excuse. and the big dances and the song
and the specialtics are the real things
In these Mecca" aboundS. If there
were less story and less real attempt
to make them seem real. the result
would be much better. AS 1t is, il is
about the ShoutingcSt spectacle that

But everybody seems 70 have to yell
throughout the piece and those who
don't really have to seem to feel they
should so as not TO be overlooked in
the general medley.
All the way through, there are beauti
full dances, costumed in n way to de-
light the eye. The big climax comes II
the baCchanale. arranged by MiChae
Fokine which occurs at the end of the
second act It would be difficult to i'm
agine anything more elaborate than this
on an ordinary stage and its effect
iveness is not only the result Of the
dance itself but of the fine stage setting
and the color effects of costumes anC
lighting. Martha Lorber, the LEADING
dancer, Is the very pcrSOnitiCation o.
grace and beauty Of form, and she IL
ably supported by something like one
hundred others.
The comedy element of the story IL
excellently handled by Thomas Leary an,

'ENTER MADAME WINS
BY ITS KEEN COMEDY
Delightful Satire, With GiIda
Varesi as Author and Star,
PIeases Audience

ISric-Madame entered last night in
the person of Gilda Earesi and worked
her charms upon an appreciative audi
ence rs successfully as Lisa Della Rob
bia worked them upon her rccreant hus-
band.
ENTER Madame" which Miss Varesi
wrote with Dolly Byrne, is Il study in
feminine arts and n demonstration that
the woman with dramatic training can
outplay the woman without 1t when It
comes to holding the love Of q man.
Madame Della Robbia Is an opera
singer, whose husband has grown weary
Of travelling around the world with her
and who. as she has been absent in
Europe for five years, has decided to
divorce her and marry q widow who
lives in the same apartment house with
him. He writes his wife Of his inten-
tons and she takes the first steamer
home. On her arrival the battle begins.
1t is treated in the comedy spirit and
with the audacty Of the French drama
lists. Miss Narest acts the opera singer
with lightness and grace which are
charming. She plays on the emotions
Of her husband, who has always loved
her. and plays on them so successfully
that she triumphs over the widow. The
two women have an interview which
might be called catfish II It had not
been so skillfully managed. Jane
Meredith. who was the widow In the
original New York cast, was in the
FIRST act the comfortable domestic crca =
ture that the husband craved. and In
the last act she WAS the vindictive de .
feated rival, and she was dramatically
satisfactory IN both moods.
But the most delicious moment Of the
whole evening came after the vindictive
widow left the room and the wife began
TO think Of the things she might have
said. 1t was so true to life that the
applause was spontaneous and genuine
