THEATRICAL NOTES.
At the Chicago opera house a brilliant revival of "Land of Nod" has been made with such instant sucthat the big theatre is crowded at every performance. With new scenery, new costumes and a company including nearly all the old favorites and some new ones, this popular exseems likely to repeat its remarkable success of last season when it ran out the entire summer season at the "Home of Extrava-

and the production finer than those
usually offered in Chicago at $1.50 the management of the opera house has established a scale of prices rangfar below anything ever before exacted for a great standard show. As this will be the only musical enof its class in Chicago
for some time to come visitors to the
city will doubtless be pleased to see so smart a show at a price less than half the standard rate. Mabel Barrison whose success as "Bonnie" has made her a star conto improve this dainty role
while Knox Wilson's April Fool has
aised him into the front rank of
eccentric comedians. The famous
Madcaps are still holding notable features and Walter Stanton's Giant Rooster and fighting bantam are imelements in the startling nightmare palace scene. All the other original characters such as the Rarebit, Man in the Moon, Rory Bory Alice, Knock Out Drops, Chorus Girl, and Jack of Hearts are represented by skilled artists long identified with these roles, while the beauty chorus is thought to be the best singing organization ever heard in the Chicago opera house.

After a series of the most successflights ever seen in the west, HorWild and his airship "Eagle"
are established at White City in Chi
cago, where they have vied with fine weather in bringing the amusepark almost a record attendduring the last few days. Mr. Wild has gone higher and farther, shown more complete mastery, and
an absolute fearlessness that have
made his ascensions, repeated every
day when the weather conditions are not absolutely forbidding, a source
of eager inquiry to thousands.
Alessandro Liberati and his grand military band opened a series of
concerts in the White City plaza last
Sunday afternoon, playing programs made up almost equally from the great Italian operatic composers and
from the tuneful and catchy music of the day. Sig. Liberati is heard at every concert in solos upon the
cornet, an instrument of which he is a master, and the celebrated French
tenor, A. L. Guille, sings every even ing.
John F. Carroll, director of the free open air hippodrome at the
north end of the plaza, presented a complete change of bill for the cur
rent week on Sunday, including Campbell and Brady, club jugglers; Fisher and Johnson, in a comic bicyturn; and Scheppes' dog and pony circus. Toddles, the riding elephant, has also been added to the list of plaza attractions, and the vaudeville theater on the east side of the board walk has a complete change of bill this week.
San Salvador, July 19.-The armisbetween Salvador and Honduras on one side and Guatemala on the othbegan yesterday. A treaty of peace is to be discussed in neutral waters on board the United States cruiser MarThe peace commissioners of Salvador are Dr. J. R. Pacus and Senor
Gallegas. They went on board the
United States cruiser Marblehead at Acajutla yesterday with the commisof onduras and proceeded to San Jose, Guatemala, where the other commissioners were taken on board and the party then put to sea to draw up and sign the treaty of peace. Battle Rages for Ten Hours, Shortly before the armistice was agreed to over 10,000 Guatemalan solmade a desperate attack on the Salvadorean positions by way of MetaThe Guatemalan artillery, staon high plains, fronting the Salpositions, cannonaded the latter unceasingly, though the bad
quality of the shells and the poor aim of the artillerymen resulted in the Salforces escaping without many
casualties. At about 3 p. m., in the midst of a torrential rain, the Guate
malan fire increased all along the line, and the Guatemalan. infantry attacked
the Salvadoreans in close columns, en
deavoring to dislodge them from the
positions held by General Tercero and
Colonel Hernandez Artega. The battle
asted ten hours and eventually result
ed in a triumph for the Salvadorean
arms.
Guatemala Kept Faith. Washington, July 19.-The Guate
malan minister, Munoz, is much anby reports from Salvadorean points that Guatemala continued fightafter it had agreed to cease hos
tilities. "Such stories are absolutely without foundation," he said. "There was no agreement to cease fighting un\the armistice went into effect this
yesterday] morning, and the enemies
of my government are endeavoring to put it in a false light. Negotiations
for an armistice have been confused
with the actual agreement to stop war, and in justice to my government I
hope it will be generally understood that any fighting done previous to to
day was not in violation of any peace
compact."
Agreement to Stop Fighting. The state department has not been
advised that fighting has actually
ceased, but the United States minister
to Salvador, Merry, and the United States charge at Guatemala City both sent dispatches to the department, dated Tuesday, which announced the agreement of both Salvador and Guateto stop fighting at daybreak yesmorning. Combs, the United
States minister to Guatemala, has not yet reached Guatemala City, because of lack of transportation facilities, and the state department has sent instructo Brown, the charge, to act for Combs temporarily.

Milwaukee, July 19. -"There has been a good deal of disturbance in the body politic the past year, and it is likely to continue. The nation is enin the business of cleaning house. Uncle Sam is disturbing a great many. There are a great many that wish he would not be so particular. The truth of it is we have been a long time fixing up our front yards. They make a magnificent showing. We have forgotten that every house has a back yard and have not been as particular about it. We are going to clean the back yards." These were the words of Justice David J. Brewer, of the supreme court of the United States,
in an address before a large number of life insurance agents. Warns Them of Demagogues. "As a result of the work now goon," the justice continued, "there will be truth and honesty in every market industry. In the wonderful shaking up a great many men will be unjustly condemned. Do not condemn a man until he is found guilty; but when he is found guilty, whoever he
may be, let him take his punishment. It has been my experience that while there are many noble and true men there are also multitudes of demathat expect to ride on the waves of popular excitement.

It may be that some persons are inwith in business; some tempoembarrassment, but nothing will better build up the country than to give every man, whatever he buys in our markets, just what it purports to be. In the long run everything will be improved if everything universally is just what it ought to be, and every man in the country will be profited in the long run. Country Is Sound at the Core. "Some think we are going to have trouble every time there is an expose. It is not true. The great American peois not unsound. Today I want to appeal to you--as men and women of this republic--to the feeling that the glory and future of this republic deupon you. Every individual should step forward and say: 'I am goto see that peace, justice and rightprevail.' I am sure then that peace will prevail throughout the land." Justice Brewer said he felt that the 80,000,000 of people of this country had a most supreme obligation before them, and that they will continue to strive until that obligation is met, and that
humanity the world over will look with thankfulness and gratitude.
Once there were two wolves who had a chicken tree, in which fowls were very fond of roosting. One day when they went down to the chicken tree to get each of them a bird they heard a snarly-snarly sound and found feathers all around the tree, while every bird for a mile around was either eaten or scared away. "Who has been robbing our chicken tree?" cried the wolf brothers together. "Your chicken tree? Your chicken tree? Your chicken tree?" snarled the cougar, who lay, gorged full, at the bottom of the tree. "Who gave you this chicken tree? Who gave you anyWho are you, anyhow?" The wolf brothers made haste to say that nobody had given them the chicktree, that nobody had given them

body and didn't count anyhow, but their hearts were hot and sore while
they said it.
As they were scuttling away they
met Bruin, the bear. And when he
heard their story he told them of a trap which the hunters had set for the
cougars down by the brookside.
"Lead him there," said Bruin, "and
you may have your revenge, also you may have as many chicken trees as
you can find."
So the wolves went trembling back and told the cougar that they had
found a much finer chicken tree for
him. When they came to the spot
where Bruin had told them the trap was they stepped aside and said they
could not walk ahead of so great a per

let them follow.
Snap went the trap on the old cou

"There," said the eldest wolf broth

New York, July 19.-Louis Gourdain, of Chicago, who was convicted of using the mails fraudulently and sent to prisbut subsequently released from Joliet prison, to which he has been trying to have himself recommitted, arrived in this city and went to the Savoy hotel. Having dined, he said: "I have just arrived from Washington, where I made a fruitless endeavor to file a petition in the supreme court of the United States asking to be sent back to the Joliet penitentiary. They told me there that I could not file a petition until next October, and alI resolved not to eat or sleep until my petition was filed I guess that's too long a time to wait.

Pacas attained by his conduct after the announcement of an unfavorable award in the Salvadorean Commercial company case. In that case the United States comsought to recover from Salvador $500,000 for damages it suffered as the result of the seizure by the governof harbor improvements the corhad made at one of the Salports. After long dispute the case was submitted to arbitration in Washington, with Senor Pacas repreSalvador, Chief Justice Strong as the neutral member of the comand Dickinson as the United States representative. Pacas bitterly charged the two other members of the commission with treating him and his government with "grossest unfairness." Strong personally resented the attack on his action, and a scene followed, Senor Pacas storming about the hotel in great rage. Salvador then protested against the decision of the arbitrators, and delayed the payment of the award of $523,178 for a long time. The state department made representations to Salvador repeatedly. Finally attorneys for the Salvadorean Commercial comdespaired of ever collecting the full amount of the award from the litrepublic, and in 1903 a compromise

Football In Burma.
"Chinlon," the Burmese form of foot
ball, is the national game. The name
means "round basket," writes Mr. Kel
ly in his book on Burma, and the chinis really a ball about six inches in
diameter formed of plaited rattans.
The game is played by several youths or men, who stand in a circle a few
feet apart. The ball having been
thrown into play, the one nearest to
whom it falls kicks it up into the air with the instep, knee or side of the foot. The effort is to keep it in the air as long as possible and without
losing possession of the ball. A fancy
stroke is to turn about face as the ball
falls and kick it with the sole of the
foot, although the elbows, head or any
part of the body except hand and toes may be used. While playing no one leaves his place, but waits until the ball falls within his reach, when he in
turn endeavors to retain its possession.
It is a very pretty game to watch, and the skill of the performers is often
surprising. The Smallest Screws.
The smallest screws ever made are
used in the manufacture of the minia
ture watches which are sometimes fitin rings, shirt studs, bracelets, etc.
They are the next thing to being invisible to the naked eye, looking like
minute grains of sand. With a good
glass, however, it may be plainly seen
that each is a perfect screw, having a number of threads equal to 1,260 to the inch. These tiny screws are four oneof an inch in diameter and
seven one-thousandths of an inch in length. It is estimated that a lady's
thimble of average size would hold 100,000 of them. No attempt is ever made to count these "tiny triumphs of mechanical ingenuity" other than to get a basis for estimation. The method
usually pursued in determining their
number is to carefully count 100 and then place them on a delicate balance,
the number of a given amount being
determined by the weight of these.
