St Petersburg, Sept 23. The cholera epidemic, which continues to assume more appalling proportions every day, has concentrated the attention of the St. Petersburg authorities on the long-neglected taslr"of improving the water supply and sewer facilities of the capital. " The municipal hospitals In the past twenty four hours have reported 417 cholera cases and 176 deaths. There is a total of 1,587 patients in the various hospitals. That municipal statistics are incomplete is conclusively proved by the

liumber of interments. At one cemetery these aggregated 424 for the last three days, or within 20 of the total number of deaths reported. The sinister legend that the physicians of St. Petersburg caused the epidemic by poisoning the waters of the Neva, as well as the fruits sold in the general markets, still persists among the people, although the press is conducting an educational campaign against thissuperstition. The cholera dead are being Interred at Preobrathenskoe, which is about an hour's distance on the railroad from St. Petersburg. A train of several coaches carrying the mourners and a dozen freight cars with the dead In rude coffins goes dally to this place. The scarcity of grave diggers has caused a painful delay In the past few days, 150 coffins containing bodies now being stored in the adjoining -woodshed.

Columbus, Ohio, Sept 23. Senator Foraker will not be given an opportunity to vindicate himself of the Hearst charges by a series of speeches through the state if the republican organization can head him off. Every effort will be made by the leaders to put a crimp in an attempt along this line. Chairman Henry A. Williams and W. H. Phipps conferred upon this matter, while in Cincinnati with William H. Taft, and a decision to thwart any effort of I oraker to take the stump was reached, it is said. Ever since the charges were made by Mr. Hearst that Foraker had received money from the Standard Oil company and the acknowledgment, letters . of

condemnation have been received at

headquarters from the various county chairmen through the state. They claim that if Foraker should take the stump, even in his own behalf, it will

THE THEATER

"Paid in Full" Gennett. Playgoers of discriminating tastes will welcome the coming to this city

of Wagenhals and Kemper's production of Eugene Walter's great play of contemporaneous life In America, "Paid In Full" which at the Astor theater, New York, has proved itself the sensation of the past two seasons. A special cast gave the play for five months at the Grand opera house, Chicago, and soon Wagenhals and Kemper will present It at the Gennett

In every particular, It is promised the performance will be equal to the New York company and production. "Paid in Full" has been described as the greatest play produced in fifteen years and in it there is a forceful, virile treatment of a great moral Issue in our national lf'e. It has stamped the author as a man of originality, daring and forcefulness andthe play is destined to live for years. "Ragged Robin" Gennett. The performance of "Ragged Robin" which will be presented here soon by Chauncey Olcott and a superb company under the direction of Augustus Pitou, is one of those charming bits of playwriting that gives an audience the feeling that cleanliness and decency in the drama is far more fascinating thJti viciousness, when it is properly presented. "Ragged Robin is winning golden opinions and, incidentally, a golden harvest tor the management throughout the coantry. "Three Twins" Gennett. The three authors of the book, music and lyrics of "Three Twins." Jos. M. Gaites tremendously popular musical comedy, that comes to the Gennett theater Oct. 5, are firm believers in the good fortune bestowed by the magic number three. First they advance the title of the present play which contains three words and has the word "three" in it. Next they point out the fact that there are three of them Chas. Dickson, who furnished the book; Otto Hauerbach, who contributed the lyrics and Karl Hoschna, who set them to music. So thoroughly convinced are they of

the efficacy of "three" that they have formed themselves Into a trio for the writing of musical plays, and in order to make, assurance doubly sure have planned out two more musical comedies, making the magls number once more. By an odd coincidence on the opening night of "Three Twins" which is Karl Hoschna's third play, his wife gave birth to their third child. This was the crowning proof that convinced him that three was his successful number. His two collaborators sharing his belief they are even waiting for the third of the month to begin

the other two plays. Vaudeville New Phillips. Just because Miss Jean Bentley, at the New Phillips, does her act so easily and gracefully, one shouldn't get the impression that it is anything easy. She juggles a 23 pound cross bar with her feet as though it weighed a few ounces, and she tosses ah 18 pound barrel on her toes with great skill. But the act isn't so easy. It took a solid year of practice to master it Miss Bentley has played in every large city in the United States and has toured in Mexico, Cuba and South America. She started out in vaudeville, as a member of the famous Nelson family of acrobats and has been with all the big circuses. She is an attractive actress and dresses her part neatly and modestly. Miss Bently is the only native born American to do foot juggling, that is on the stage today. i
