THEATRICAL CALENDAR. NEW PHILLIPS. Week of March 9 Vaudeville.

GENNETT. March 14 (Matinee and Night) "The Man of the Hour." Week of March 9 Crescent Comedy Company. "The Man of the Hour." George Broadhurst's play, "The Man of the Hour,' which will be seen here for the first time at the Gennett next Saturday matinee and night, has stirred up more interest and excited more favorable comment for the American drama than any play seen in this country in many years. It has frequently called a drama of today and truthfully so, because it deals very been quite with the subject of municipal graft of which there is no topic of more vital interest to the citizens of this country at the present time. It is a play that, pulsates with big emotion, powerful human interests and tender romance. It is a story of throbbing heart beats centered in a material topic of all absorbing and universal moment. The characters are types of individuals familiar in the daily life of every American, no matter in what part of the country he lives. The play has had an extraordinary success, having had a run of two years at the Savoy Theatre, New York City. Vaudeville at the Phillips. The Courier-Herald, Saginaw, Mich., says of the headline act at the New Phillips this week: Captivating and vivacious, with an excellent opportunity to display her remarkable ability as an emotional

Beauty Contests Are Now Being Held the World Over

The culmination of the "beauty contests" started in Chicago which finally threw the spotlight upon Miss Marguerite Frey of Denver, as the most beautiful woman in the United States, has led to a similar contest in Sweden, with the result that Miss Jane Lundstrom of Stockholm has been selected. She is 2 years old and a blonde with bluish gray eyes, rosy complexion and "superb" figure, and, of course, is a descendant of the ancient Vikings. The contest aroused the greatest interest throughout the kingdom and picTurn Your Face Into Dollars Many a Man Has Failed Because His Face Was a Picture of Calamity. It takes sunshine to produce a rose, a perfect rose. And so man, to be successful, must have sunshine inside. The life which has It not, which has no health and no happiness, is sour, surly, pessimistic, and a failure. The world already has too many vinegar faces that breathe ill-will and strife. The world wants joy, comfort, sunshine, and will cling to the man who has it, who radiates gladness and triumph wherever he is and under all circumstances. Some people have a genius for seeking out the disagreeable, the crooked, the bad and the ugly. These are the destroyers; they travel in schools, they herd together for they love their kind, and the cheerful part of the world will have nothing to do with them. And why is it that so many peddle disaster, knowing at the same time that if they do, their lives will be ruined? Some people cannot help it, for pessimism usually comes from bodily disorders, and this cannot always be prevented. The stomach, for instance, is the most common cause of discontent, sour face, recklessness, disgust and lack of ambition. A bad stomach there is the secret, of many a failure. Auyone can have a good stomach, a strong stomach, a stomach that can take care of anything and everything that is put into it, no matter whether it is a very bad stomach now or not. Then why not. have it? Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this very thing.

actress. Ann Hamilton with her company of four, is winning general approbation In her Mexican story, "Beggars" at the Jeffers this week. This young actress is perhaps starring in as difficult a part as might be imagined, and the fact that she must go through the fall on the staircase twice daily is enough to appal the heart of the most courageous. The whole piece is one that places the principal, Charita in a very strenuous position and the difficulties of the role are evident. The actress declares, however, that she is wholly satisfied with her work, and that the piece was of her own conception that is nearly so, for the plot of the story was suggested while in San Antonio, Texas, in company with her sister, some lime ago. It was in that city that the fertile mind of Ann Hamilton -was impressed by the life of a young Mexican girl whose career was most pathetic, and through which was interwoven an affair of tragic and passionate love, even the same as later dedelopod in "Beggars."'

Repertoire at the Gennett. Tonight will witness the opening of the week's engagement of what is said to be as strong, if not the strongest Ktock company that, has ever played at the Gennett theater. The j Crescent comedy is enjoying a very 'enviable reputation and it is predicted jlhat those who witness the production of "The Turn of the Dice." Monday night will readily concede that the company is all that can be desired in its respective line. The management has striven hard Ho give the theater going public many times the money's worth or in other words a high priced show at small admission. There will he daily matinees except Monday. Ladies will be admitted free tonight under the usual conditions. tures were forwarded to the judges from all of the more important cities, and from a large number of the small towns and villages of the country districts. The beauty contests, started In Chicago, have spread to the nations of the world and everywhere in the civilized countries newspapers are endeavoring to locate the "fairest woman of the realm." The wave of interest in the contests has brought out strikingly national conceptions of beauty, i the effect of geographical positions on , popular opinion being shown as it i has been in no other way. Sweden has Just selected a blond. Miss Frey, the American beauty, has as one of her greatest attractions beautiful coppercolored hair, while the central and southern European countries almost inva.iably have pronounced for decided brunettes. WANT SQUARE DEAL Short Railroad Lines Allege Discrimination of Mail Carrying Rates. CONGRESS APPEALED TO. Washington, March O.-An effort is i being made before Congress to secure a just apportionment of the compensation now given by the government for the transportation of United States mail by rail. More than 2GO "short line" railroads have joined in a petition to congress for a readjustment of the pay- for carrying mails. These short line roads are independent lines and most of them reach towns, villages and hamlets not readily accessible by any other route. These lines now receive ;-!:.75 per mile per year for carrying 2t0 pounds of mail per day and 5?il.l3 per mile per year when the amount of mail averages ,"O0 pounds per day. The figures show that the larger roads receive? anywhere from two to four times as much anywhere from two to four times as much as the short lines for mail carriage, and in addition tuty also receive compensation, for carrying the railway postal cars. It is pointed out that a good many "short line" roads have declined to carry the mails at the compensation giveu by the government, the declination resulting in inconvenience to the government and embarrassment to the public. Thus far the postoffiee department has not been called upon for a recommendation respecting the proposed readjustment and it is improbable that definite action will be taken on the matter at the present seiou of congress.

Local Man Is as Dexterous With His Brush as With The Razor.

GIVEN UNSTINTED PRAISE. LATEST WORK OF W. A. HOLLY IS RECEIVING THE PLAUDITS OF LEADERS IN LOCAL GROUPS A PRIZE WINNER. Richmond, the home of artists, bears the unique distinction of having a barber who is also a successful painter. W. A. Holly is the man who wields the razor for a living and the brush for recreation. Years ago he began to paint "just for the fun of it" and today his pictures are attracting the l attention of eminent art critics. His latest work is an "Old Mill" scene. It is done in rich colors and is being much praised for the beauty of tint shown in the sky. Of this picture Mr. J. E. Bundy. perhaps the best known of Richmond artists, said. "The conception and execution in the picture Is the best I have seen in many years. It is a painting which the best trained artists of today might well exhibit with pride." The picture will be submitted to the Art Association for the June exhibit and no doubt will win a place. Downward Course Fast Being Realized by Richmond People. A little, backache at first.

The origin at" the Maxim gun was somewhat curious. Mr. Maxim (Sir Hiram) after the close of the great civil war in America was visiting ou? of the southern battlefields. He picked up a Springueld rifle and began tiring at a target. He soon discovered, to his amazement, that his shoulder was all Mack and blue with the recoil. This feet hitn thinking, and he soon conceived the idea of utilizing this force lu a gun which would tire automatically. lie went to London full of his idea, but no one would listen to him. In Birmingham the chief man in a factory refused to make a bolt gun. In despair Mr. Maxim packed up bis trunks and went to Paris. Iu two weeks the work was done. This gun Mr. Maxim exhibited iu Loudon iu 38vSC. He spoke of it then as the gun of the future. It Is now the gun of the present. It is a wonderful gun and a deadly one. By adjusting the indicator it will tire bullets at any rate frotu one per minute to GOO. This terrible weapon is started by the firing or the first shot. After that it works itself and will keep going as long as cartridges can le fed into the machine. When one belt of 333 is exhausted, all that Is necessary Is to hook on another. When the British government gave an order for the gun they stipulated that it should not weigh more than a hundred pounds and should be capable of firing a thousand rounds in four minutes. Mr. Maxim produced a gun which weighed thirty-five pounds and fired 2.000 rounds In three minutes. St. Louis rost-Dispatch. Prisoners of Viar. '"Treatment accorded to prisoners owar in the early part of the nineteenth century would not be endured for a moment in the twentieth century." says an English writer. "To say that we starved our captive is untrue; that we stinted them of necessaries is a fact. French prisoners were kept in durance on board hulks at Portsmouth and Bishops Waltham. Casesjre on record of the dogs of British officers paying a call on board being decoyed below, where they were killed and converted into cutlets, while the masters were chatting on the deck.

THE WANT BOOKS OPENED People of Henry County Would Look at Records Twenty Years Back. QUESTION HAS BEEN RAISED New Castle, Ind.. March !.-Public clamor may yet compel the commissioners of Henry county to employ an expert to go over the county records for a period of twenty years back. The same grand jury hist October that indicted the county commissioners for violating the law relating to the letting jof bridge contracts also recommended that the commissioners employ an expert accountant to go over the books. Under the present procedure the county books are examined quarterly by the commissioners. The complaint is made that the commissioners are not expert accountants and could not find defects or mistakes if they existed. During the trial and acquittal of the commissioners on the charge of violating the statute relating to letting bridge contracts great stress was laid on the fact that the couny commissioners "were only honest farmers with a common school education." and were not supposed to know w hat a profile and survey were as related to letting a bridge contract. Those demanding an investigation are now asking. "Does not the same rule apply relative to them examining the books quarterly, and can they be expected. with a common school education, to ! detect irregularities, if there are any. that have been caused with the inten tion of not being discovered?''
