THEATRICAL NOTES. n-'oree Washington, Jr., that c'fer-ve-jdng, tuneful and well balanced pro.J i' tlon of and by the Yankee Doodle CoTKCdian, Geo. M. Cohan, is receiving the treatment anticipated by critics and public filling- Chicago's beautiful theatre, the Colonial, to overflowing at tveiy pp.formance, and the most conservative estimates point to a continuation of such patronage throughout a more or lens limited engagement. In fact, the time for withdrawal of the delightful and Inspiring play has not been definitely determined upon, owing to the tremendous business in Chicago and the insistant demands for time In the east. The popularity of Geo. M. Cohan and his latest musical production, success Is due not only to the clever combination of several strony nd effective stage elements, but probably more than anything else to his genuine sincerity an a comedian, playwright, composer and stage director, and the enthusiastic earnestness with which he deals In patriotic material of the most stirring sort. It is no unusual happening for him to receive a dozen curtain calU and encores to his wonderfully effective song, "The Grand Old Flag," which is given with ail inspiring detail, and i. one of the most pulse quickening scenes in the history of modern stage construction. Mr. Cohan has splendid support in such people as Jerry A. Cohan, Helen F. Cohan, Willis P. Kweatnam, Dorothy Hunting, John A. Boone and-a number of other good players, and the entire performance i stirring, entertaining anl enjoyable.

m:-iu ii Again to be Stage, nt the Chicago Auditorium. Conspicuous among the many splendid offerings that will mark the current theatrical season in Chicago will be another production of Gen. Lew. Wallace's stirring religlo-historic romance, "Ben-llur," which has heretofore been bo brilliantly and spectacularly staged in the western metropolis. Two seasons ago when the idea of presenting this play at the big Auditorium was conceived, the Klaw & Erfanger company imported from London the production used ac the Drury Lfine theatre. This equipment was the most massive and costly, as well as the most beautiful, that had ever been constructed for the setting of Gen. Wallace's drama, for it marked the advent of its produc -s in the English metropolis, and as a matter of managerial pride they were anxious that the production should Impress, even If the play did not from a dramatic standpoint. It is now on record that not only did "Ben-IIur" score as a drama, but the production eclipsed everything that had theretofore been seen on the Drury Lane stage, which has for more than a hundred years been noted for the greatest spectacles of Great Britain. When this production was being adjusted to the Chicago Auditorium stage, many opportunities for betterment and elaboration were discernable, for no stage Jn the world presents as great opportunity for massive and magnificent stage settings as this temple of amusement. Thereupon Klaw &: Erlanger decided to build a production dapted to every opportunity permitted by this vast stage. For several months past a staff of artisans have been en gaged In constructing this wondrous spectacle, which It Is claimed will over shadow everything that has gone be fore, and which Is of such colossal proportions that it cannot be used on any other stage in the world in its en tlrety. The first unfolding of this new and greater "Ban-Hur," will take place at the Chicago Auditorium on Monday evening. October 15th, when a limited engagement will be Inaugurated. During the run no Sunday performances Will be given, but matinees are sched uled for Wednesday and Saturday of each week. Novelty seldom if ever ac cruer from constant repetition of any drama except those of Shakespeare, but this instructive spectacle of dramatic and pictoral beauty seems to contain that virtue. Against Hard Proposition. Herbert Knox Smith, the brilliant deputy of the bureau of corporations, said in Washington apropos of certain illegal acts: "Those acts are Illegal, but the question is: Can the law get at the perpetrators? I am afraid It can't. For these men are poor, and monetary punishment is the only one the law can take. The law, I am afraid. Is In the position of a certain houseswifo I heard of the other day. "This housewife, a strict woman, raid to a new maid: 'I forgot to tell you, Maude, that If you break anything, I'll have to take it out of your wages.' "But Maude, whom two days had heartily sickened of her berth, replied with a merry laugh: 'Do it, ma'am, do it. IVe just broke the hundred-dollar vase in the parlor, and if you can take that out of four dollars for I'm leavin' at the eud of the week why, you'll be mighty clever.' " Queens Are Tallest. There is hardly a kins in Christendom to-day whose wife does not overtop him by a head. The czar Is overtopped a full head by the czarina. Kaiser Wilhelm is of medium height, but the German empress is tall, and that is why the proud kaiser will never consent to be photographed beside his wife -unless ' she sits while he stands. The king of Italy, short and squat, hardly comes u? to the shoulders of the tall, athletic Queen Helena. The king of Portugal, though fatter, is less tall than his queen. Even the prince of Wales is a .cod four Inches shorter than the prlbcoss. The young king of Spain 13 several inches shorter than Queen Victoria. The queen of Denmark towers above her royal spouse.

Roman Relics. Two ancient earthenware crocks, containing bronze and silver coins of the Roman period, have been dug up in Groveley wood, England. i j

Origin of Words. To Milan is owed the word "milli

nery," a milliner having been originally a Mllaner, an Importer of feminin finery from Milan, Just as a "cordwainer," shoemaker, was a worker in "cordouan," leather from Cordova. It la curious to note how many words hava come from the geographical names of northern Italy. There Is, for instance, florin," the coin of Florence, and "pis tol," from PIstoja. Dr. Johnson said that the word "job was "a low word now much in use, of which I cannot tell the etymology." It Is supposed to be really identical with, "gob," a mouthful or morsel. Ppys records how "my lord" said to him, "I will do you all the good jobs I can," and Fepys himself speaks of Tangier as "hitherto used as a jobb to do a kindness to some lord." But the simple monosyllabic ugliness of the word was too much for Johnson. Many words of most august sound prove to be of quite commonplace ancestry when traced to their origins. "Finance" is really only "settling up." Literally It Is just "ending" and was formerly Vn-ed in that very simple sense in tbo English language. Then It came to signify settling up with a creditor and acquired the special sense of ransoai. Tax Interior of the Earth. A frequent remark is that mankind dwelia on a thin crust eucircling a molten mass and that the journey of llfis practically on a fire ball incased In a fragile shell that has cooled and that, as It cools further, contracts with earthquake shocks. Much virtue in rhetoric, if the purpose Is to elevate, the hair and induce cold thrills and gooseflesh. The Internal fire of the earth Is an Inference and, In any large sense, historically harmless If true. Persons who worry over cosmic problems might also keep awake of nights over the palpable truth that the earth moves through space without any visible means of support. On the planet are the plain marks of epochs of ice as well an of Intense heat. Scientists agree that glacial ages will come again, but geology teaches that they are gradual and of limited extent geographically. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Microscopic Writing. Thackeray could write the Lord's Prayer on a sixpence, which Is the size of a dime, but It Is now possible to write the prayer on a surface so small that one grain of sand would hide It completely. Microscopists sell copies of the Lord's Prayer written in a circle only the five-hundredth part of an Inch In diameter. To read the prayer It is necessary to use a Jens magnifying 500 times. f Writing so incredibly small is accomplished by means of levers six feet long. These levers are so adjusted that the motion Is gradually lessened as It travels along them till, when it reaches the delicate end, armed with a minute diamond pen that rests on a glass surface. It causes the pen to register on the glass writing so small as to be invisible. New Orleans Times-Democrat. A British Blander. There is an old story of the foreign office In connection with the small French colony of Chandernagore. This tiny possession is situated on the Ilooghly, twenty-one miles from Calcutta. It extends two miles along the river and onu and a half miles inland from It. During our wars with France the settlement was taken and added to our dependency, but when terms of peace were arranged our minister of foreign affairs, in total Ignorance of its position and of the Importance of its retention, agreed to its being restored to France. It turned out that he thought it was a small island In the West Indies and of no consequence! Westminster Gazette. Cinderella of the Canary Islands. Ilierros can hardly be called, although nominally entitled, one of the "fortunate isles." It Is the Cinderella of the Canary group, and In its southwesterly isolation may be said to live on fog. But for the mists that drench its shores the little Island would die of thirst, and no vegetables could be sent to market. , Its western promontory, Debas, once enjoyed celebrity as the spot through which was drawn the first universal meridian. Blessings of Work. Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do that day which must be done, whether you like it or not Being forced to work and forced to do your best will breed In you temperance, self control, diligence, strength of will, content and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know. Charles Kingsley. Business Education. Nothing will stand you in better stead in the hard, cold, practical, everyday world than a good, sound business education. You wrll find that your success In trade, occupation or profession will depend as much on your general knowledge of men and affairs as on your technical training. Success Magazine. More Important.

SUGAR TRUST IS HIT

Its Work Alleged to Have Been Deadly to Segal, the Philadelphia Promoter. RECEIVER UNCOVERS EVIDENCE Digs It Up While Delving Into the Affairs of the Ileal Estate Trust Company. Philadelphia, Sept. 20. President Roosevelt is in possession of evidence furnished by Receiver Earle, of the wrecked Real Estate Trust company, which is expected to result In proceedings by the department cf justice against the so-called sugar trust. One of the assets of the Real Estate Trust company is the sugar refinery in this j city built by Adoiph Segal, the pro- J moter whose borrowings from Frank ADOiPH SEGAL. K. Hippie, the suicide president of the bank, were responsible for the collapse of the institution. Tho American Sujar Refining company holds a controlling interest .in this refinery, which has been operated, and Receiver Earle hopes to show that it was tied tip as a result of a conspiracy In which the sugar combine was involved. Calls It a Complete Case. Earle has issued a statement to the creditors of the Real Estate Trust company bearing upon his contemplated action. It Is in part as follows: "In the first place it is true that I have communicated with President Roosevelt in regard to the conduct of the sugar trust That communication, however, Is now his property, not mine, and I cannot say more than that I outlined what I understood to constitute a complete case against the organization and some of its officers. Whatever the president may do I feel it my Imperative dutj', having accepted this trust, to proceed in this matter. I fully understand the risks that I am incurring, personally and otherwise, and jet the matter, to my mind, Is so clear that I would be derelict to duty should I hesitate. Segal Accuses the Trust. "I have not wiahed to go ahead until I felt that with n moral case that would convince anybody I could myself give legal testimony to make out the prima facie case, and I am prepared to say that whilst no one can predict the result of such a conflict I am convinced, that if I live I can supply enough evidence, no matter what the trust may do. Adoiph Segal and his counsel have taken the position that he was a solvent man ruined by the machinations of this trust; that he is acting in the best of good faith, and will, if he gets justice, be enabled to liquidate his indebtedness." DYNAMITE FOR A TRESTLE Attempt to Destroy Property of the Nickel Plate Itoad Is Discovered and Rattled. Cleveland, O., Sept. 2. -An allleged plot to destroy the Nickel Plate trestle in this city has been reported to the police. An infernal machine containing twenty-two sticks of dynamite, equipped with four dry batteries, fuses and a clock set for 3 a. m. was found by a night-watchman and turned over to railroad officials, who later gave it to the police. It is alleged that the dynamite was thrown from the platform of a Nickel Plate passenger train about 2 a. m., but failed to explode. That the repeated concussions did not explode the bomb is ascribed to the fact that it was heavily wrapped in rags. This Is the second alleged attempt to destroy the trestle. Insurance Company Retires. Chicago. Sept. 20. The Chicago Life Insurance company has retired from the insurance field. The business of the company, aggregating $6,000,000 of life insurance la force, was reinsured in tee Federal life Insurance company, of Chicago. Nebraska Bant Wrecked by Thugs. Brady. Net)., Sept 26.

WAYS TO EARN MONEY.

Abundance For the Woman of Grit, Industry and Common Sense. No woman with good sense need ever be poor. The matter lies within her own choice. Around her. wherever she is, are opportunities for money earning if the sets herself to find them and is willing to work independently. For women In the country perhaps nothing pays so well as poultry raising if well managed. The whole land is now invaded in summer by the city boarder. There la good sale almost everywhere for eggs and chickens of ail ages, particularly broilers. In a country place where I was in August the people sold eggs for from 30 to 33 cents a dozen at their doors. Boarding house and hotel keepers had to have them at any cost. I was so Interested in this subject of poultry rearing for women that I investigated some "poultry ranches," as they are called. One farmer who had gone Into chickens experimentally, learning the business as he went along, succeeded from the start so well that he abandoned agriculture and devoted himself to poultry. Poultry rearing is light work nothing in it that a woman cannot do. She needs to have, of course, some mechanical skill, which can be acquired, and she needs to tend carefully to her fowls and keep up to date in their management That Is all. A friend who knows tells me that one woman can get a living off 100 hens. A branch of the poultry business is pigeon and squab raising. It is attracting attention now, for there Is much profit In it. The squab market Is never fully supplied. One woman who merely raises pigeons In her back yard says she has an excellent Income from them. Cooks. So long as this old earth rolls there will be universal demand for things to oat and things to wear. A well to do woman declares that If she were a poor girl starting In life she would first of all become a trained, perfect cock, educating herself in some of the many schools of domestic science now within reach of every one. There is such an ever unsatisfied demand for good cooks that she who Is skilled in this occupation can almost make her own terms as to pay and quite make them as to hours of rest and recreation. She need not be a drudging slave at all. Cooking Is hard work, but what Is not if it is done properly? There Is a genuine FEEDrSO THE PIGEOSS. artistic pleasure In preparing good food and dishing it up in an attractive manner. Many weakling women grunt and groan and say they have not health enough to do such hard work. Bosh! Where there are grit and will power health will always follow. Millinery and Dressmaking. he costumer's trade Is now so profitable that numerous college women have gone into it, declaring it pays better than any profession they could enter. Some of the best known dressmakers In this country have Incomes of ? 10,000 to $20,000 a year. The country is flooded with botch dressmakers, with no aspiration and no skill or joy Jn their work, who ought to be starved awhile till they learn to do decent fitting and sewing. In every city, large or small, there is room for all the really competent dressmakers that put in an appearance. The same is true to a great extent of milliners and the millinery trade. But this trade, too, suffers under the curse of botches and the unambitious. Varied Work of Women. It Is about proved that a woman can do anything she sets her head to. The only requisite is that she shall thoroughly know her business and attend to it. The woman of enterprise and capability will do better to go Into trade for herself than to work for somebody else. A firm of women paper hangers Js doing a rushing business In one city. Mrs. Bogue of Denver owns and manages a Hill street car Una. Mrs. Stleppey of Wichita, Kan., is an artistic sign painter. She had an art school training and has utilized It to some purpose. Miss Jimetta Kennedy of Emigsville, Pa., is an expert wagon painter. A New England girl who is a college graduate is laying cp money raising pigs. CAPQLINE ANDERSON.
