 HISTORIC OLD RIGHTEOUS

WILMINGTON, Dela., Aug.-Hen- lopen Lighthouse, which has guided ships by Delaware Bay since 1764, faces destruction at any moment, ac- cording to Captain John c. Gray, keeper of the light.
 It is the second oldest lighthouse in America and was constructed by the British to direct ships to the Colonies, but was partly destroyed by British troops who landed there in TIT.
 Originally built 1,4OO feet from the shore line, only eleven feet of land lie between it and the water now Captain Gray said he had seen a good storm take away more than that at one sweep and predicted that "one more good nor'easter would end the historic landmarks career.

FUNERAL C0RTEGE IS
 GRAzED BY METEOR

DENVER, Aug. 21.-Hundreds of curious persons have been viewing, at the Colorado State Museum, here a huge meteor that fell recently neal Elwell Colorado, creating great ex- citement in the surrounding country side.
 The portion of the meteor on ex- hibition here weighs twenty pounds and in size and shape resembles a mans head.
 The meteor thundered out of the sky in midafternoon, router partici- pants in baseball game, narrowly missed hitting a funeral procession and buried itself in the ground near the entrance of the church from which the funeral cortege was pass ing.
 In falling, the meteor made trail of gray-blue smoke and as it pro- ceeded downward sounded like a machine gun being fired at a dis tance.
 The sky traveller appeared high in the heavens directly over field in which a baseball game was in progress. The players were first attracted by the noise of the falling body and scattered for shelter as it shot toward earth. Whizzing through the air, the meteor swerved and en- bedded itself two feet in the ground near the church.
 A score of men secured shovels and picks an ddug the aerial speed CT from it's resting place.
 Several days later a second sec tion of the meteor was discovered embedded five feet in the earth on a ranch near Elwell. This piece weighed fifty-four pounds.
 A third segment was found on a farm six miles south of Elwell, short ly after the discovery of the fifty four pound section. The third sec tion of tn celestial body weighed only seven pounds.
 The first meteor, weighing twenty pounds, was purchased by the Colo rado State Museum and is on exhibi- tion here.

 The offer, Kearns declared is of such attractiveness that it is inn possible to ignore, and comes at a time when the champion has ex- pressed determination to abandon his more recent calling, motion pie ture acting.
 Dempsey according to Kearns, has wearied of the grease paint and will start training soon in an effort to reach the pink of physical condition by October, so that he will be in a position either to accept the English offer or to meet the winner of the Wills-Firpo bout next month.
 Dempsey at the present time was described by his manager as being ten pounds overweight, but in good physical condition.

Georgia City ElectrOcutes yagrant Dogs

ALBANY, Ga, Auf. 22.-No onger are dogs in Albany com pelled to face the firing squad and meet death in this fashion. In stead, they are disposed of in a more modern way, that is, by the electric chair route.
 Only in their case they are plac- ed on an electric floor instead, and begin their pourney to the happy hunting ground" in this manner.
 During the past few weeks more than 200 members of the canine family have met death here in this fashion. They go six at a time by standing on an electric charged metal floor and wearing } copper collar, causing a circuit 10 be completed by a slender wire attached to the neck piece.
 When the sextette is placed on the floor, the executioner turns on the current and it is all over, No blood or anything.
 This new means of doing away with the dogs resulted from a city ordinance requiring that owners of each animal have it innoculatec against against rabies and place city tag on its collar to that eff feet.
 If the dog shows up on tho streets without this tag ther there is but one thing left-the electric floor.

There is nothing very new or very

story deals with the widow of a sa-

death. finds herself left with a 2-year-
old daughter and profitable saloon.

daughter in the atmosphere of bar

Palace" married Fiirts.

Married Flirts," the feature at the
Palace this week, is the conventional
perturbation of the unconventional
mode Of life of several persons of as
sured position in the society column.
The story starts with Pauline Fred
erick as the frumpy looking, novel
writing wife of a successful man VINO
would rather stay at home and write
than accompany her husband to Nari-
Gus gay night clubs. The husband,
not at all Il bad fellow, finally induces
his Wife to accompany him to club,
where events of the evening prove
that she hasn't been so successful as
IA protector Of husbands as she has a
novelist-and she never has had any
thing published at that.
The girl, caught in the act of let
ting the husband embrace her, e1-
plains to the wife that she doesn't
deserve her husband because she
doesn't know how to hold him. She
enunciates the not unique philoso-
ply that men like 'em beautiful and
dumb. The wife let 1t be said, might
be excused for thinking the girl had
the latter qualification, while some
what lacking the former.
However. there's a divorce. The
divorcee's novel is a success. AS
devorcee, the wife loses her frumpy
appearance. The girl marries another
man. The novelist meets him and
makes him fall in love with her. She
turns the tables completely, humbles
the naughty miss who stole her hus-
band This time, however, there is
no divorce. The divorcee refuses to
carry her revenge to the point of
breaking up her former rivals home.
She sends the husband back to his
wife, and sits down and writes a
summons to the man she divorced
He comes. Otherwise, 1t wouldn't be
a good movie.
Conrad NageI, as the young hus-
band of the former salamander, does
good work Mae Busch acts the part
of the salamander much better than
she looks it. Huntley Gordon is well
cast as the husband that Miss Fred
erick didn't deserve to keep.
