The superintendent of the Gary sehols describes a boy as a bundle of twist, wiggle and squirm, and he'll need it all before he squeezes through this world of worry, fuss and exaggeration. Indian summer with its bright crisp mornings, believed by many to be the most beautiful season of the year, is here in all its glory. The air is of the invigorating kind that is better than medicine or a trip to West Haden. Enjoy it now and don't worry about the blizzards of bebruary. Woman’s suffrage in Michigan lost by 594 votes, according to the official count. It had been announced that the amendment to the constitution had carried by 1500, but the final vote showed that it had lost by a third of that majority. The women of the| Wolverine state made a determined fight for the right to vote, and no doubt will continue to do so until granted that privilege. Just why they want to add this trouble to their many burdens can't be understood by everyone, but perhai>s the future will disclose the reasons. — The Um Ford theater building, where Lincoldn was assassinated, is to be torn down, on the order of the president. The spot in the railroad station at Washington where Garfield fell when he was shot was marked with a star, but this building was rased and no attempt was made to mark permanently the fatal spot. So perhaps it were always better not to perpetuate the scenes of our historic crimes. The deeds themselves must live, but morbidity as to geography as w ell as to grew some relics should be discouraged—lndianapolis News. • A GIRL OF THE UNDERWORLD.” The Girl of the Underworld;" what that title does Suggest to one's mind in al) its reality, means In itself the theme of the play, of a girt who through love for someone unworthy of true love, given with the truthfulness of a woman, who loves blindly, tells in itself a story of how she stepped from the path and rules of society to the shadow of hell, which is called the

"underworld." A young girl with all i the purity of youth, good health and | ambition, leaves her little home in the country town to go to New' York, alone; through deception she makes her father think in after years when , she has drifted to the gates of the underworld with a man she loves that she has entered society, and upon this deception she ruins her fattier for the man she loves. This play is not a melodrama, It is not a travesty on nature, it is not a burlesque of drama, but It is a story, a theme that is natural, that happened in true life: it if a play with all the ease and grace that a theme with a touch of nature has. This play has toured the principal big [cities of this country, and has been I proclaimed by press and public as an unquestionable success. Nixon Greely Smith, of the New York World, speaking of this theme said, teach it to all that they might know the danger which lives in the underworld. "The Girl of the Underworld" is the most complete story dealing with this theme, which has been written. There are no deep-eyed villains, no pistol shots, no yelling for help, no murder, no suicide, but it Is entertainingly played with comedy situations, surprises,, and above all a lesson. As Geo. M. Cohan says: It's a play with a punch, which means it's a suqceas in every respect. Every mother, father, brother, and sister owes it to themselves to see this play, "The Girl of the Underworld."
