LONDON. July 26.--George Bernard
Shaw, one-time scornful Irish icono-
clast now somewhat mellowed by
years, celebrated his SEVENTEEN birth
day anniversary today.
On this natal day q. B. S. is not the
seoffer with the bristling red beard
of the eighties, but a benign, elderly
gentleman of benevolent mien with a
white hirsute adernment. He is erect
and trim and seemingly az youthful as
eyer and still adhering to his creed
OF being plunged to the neck In the
life of his time.
Tonight in the House of Commons
he will be an honor guest at a dinner
and the people generally are looking
for the birth of still another of the
piquaTM controversies In which he for
years has participated with great zest.
1t has been hoped that an arrange
ment could be made by which his
speech could be broadcast. but Mr..
shaw declined to pledge himself not
to engage in controversial utterances.
Wherefore the listeners-in are down
cast, for Nh. Shaw Is as remarkable
an afterdiuner speaker as he Is
satirist.
Mr.. shaw probably is the richest
literary man alive. He collects royal
ties from all parts of the world.
Would-be newspaper interviewers
scarcely are ever able to make their
way through the barred entrance TO
his home in Adolpi Terrace to obtain
the satirist's views on the topics of
the day. Sometimes they write lists
of questions and G.. B. s, places his
professional fee after each, something
as follows:
Views on ireland ESQ; on women
f100; on America $500.
For his views on the British govern.

Memphis, Tenn, on a disorderly con-

with the declaration of 10 ministers

PHILADELPHIA, July 26.-Free
anusements to the Sesquicentennial
Exposition yesterday drew one of the
largest crowds on record, which Off
Gals estimated up to 100000 persons.
The 50-cent admission to the grounds
gave free access to the concessions on
the Gladway, where all the amuse-
ments are concentrated.
The Pennsylvania State Building
was the only evidence of the fight of
religious bodies to keep the EXPOSE
ton closed on the Sabbath. It's doors

Reports were in circulation that the

for a closed Sunday. had detectives on
hand to gather evidence for further
court action under the blue laws of
1894. These reports, however, lacked
confirmation.
