JSttllOJMOUS BELIEFS. SOME OOO NOTIONS THAT ARE FIXED IN MANY MINOS. fHlf Iarmmae m Law In Brerrdar Oeerrec Cakl.ra' Mitakt la Basks-The Stadias mt Dead Bodies Saadar Oeatraota. It is an American predilection to believe the outre and freakish stories that re based solely on hearsay testimony and to reject often the commonplace matter of fact A list of the cheerful lies that are commonly believed would 011 a volume. Only a few of them are given below. How often bare you been Inflicted with the story of the man who was overpaid when cashing a check at the bank and tli3 cashier telling him that no mistakes would be corrected after the customer left the window? According to the story, the cashier laid down the mandate before the cashier knew the mistake was in bis favor. It makes an excellent yarn, but diligent search discloses that It never bad any foundation In fact. Banks have no ucb rule. If a customer Is underpaid or overpaid the mistake will appear rwben the balance Is struck at the end of the day's business, and the error will be cheerfully rectified. But the majority of the public believe the fictitious story of "bow the fellow got the best of the bank" simply because it Is good story and they like to believe It Probably the most common error on ithe part of the public is the belief that .when a dead body is found no one has at right to touch or move the remains until the coroner comes." ' There never was any such law, is not now and 'probably never will be. The citizen who is of an inquiring turn of mind has a perfect right to examine the dead bodies he runs across in the course of bis travels, to move the remains and wven search the pockets of the dejceased, provided, of course, that his motives are honest That Is all that la necessary. There Is also a prevalent belief that a note signed or contract entered into on Sunday is void and that either party jean plead the fact of the sacred day to set out of a bad bargain. Tfels is not krue. If a man enters into a contract or signs a note on Sunday be is legally bound and can have no defense that he would not have If the transaction had occurred in the middle of the week. "Ijfaad my . back against my own bouse wbsn I struck this man," says ithe defendant In police court He believes that his proximity to his castle gives him more rights than be would have if he were In the street This belief has been the cause of much cantankerous litigation, and It has ever resulted in the ruling that a man has a right to defend himself In a reasonable manner fa? he is attacked, whatever may be his geographical position, and the Incidental contiguity of his borne "cuts no ice" in the case. The public has great confidence In the magic number three, and without any reasonable basis for the belief. It Is commonly believed that if a drowning person sinks for the third time he Js gone for good and all. The facts contradict this. Many persons die In the first sinking, and if one has the strength and vitality to rise to the surface of the water twice .it furnishes an LITTLE BABY By Boiling Grease Skin Ail Came off One Side of Face and HeadTried an Ointment which Made It All Fester Wee Sufferer Seemed Disfigured for Life. CURED WITHOUT A MARK BY CUTICURA "About a year and eight months ago my baby, aged ten months, was sitting on the mat beside the fender and we were preparing the breakfast when the fryingpan full of boiling grease was upset and it went all over one side of the baby's face and head. One of the family ran and wiped the scald with a towel and you may think what a mess she made, pulling the entire skin off. We took her to a chemist who told us to get a doctor, which we did. He tended her a week and gave me some stuff like lard to put' on. But it all festered and I thought the baby was disfigured for life. A woman close beside me told me to try Cuticura Ointment. I used about three boxes and U was wonderful how it healed. In about five weeks it was better and there wasn't a mark to tell where the scald had been. People used to ask me if that was the baby that was scalded and they would hardly believe me when I told them she was and what cured her face. Her skin is just like velvet and I have never been without Cuticura since. Cuticura cured three other children of ringworm besides, so I have good cause to thank it for what it has done. Mrs. Hare, 1. Henry St.. South Shields, Durham, England, March 22, 1908." CUTICURA World's Favourite Emollient. A single anointing with Cuticura Ointment, preceded by a hot bath with Cuticura Soap and followed in the severer cases by a dose of Cuticura Pills, is often sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most distressing forms of torturing, disfiguring, itching, burning and scaly humours, eczemas, rashes and irritations, permit rest and sleep and point to a speedy cure in the majority of ranra. oUJ UMousbont Urn world.

excellent p.C&uuintion'tiiat he win be able to do so sgaln. In an eddy or rapidly moving waters people have sunk from sigbt a half dozen times and lived to tell the experience to their grandchildren. Then there Is the third congestive chill, commonly believed to be fatal. Most people who die from this cause succumb to the first or second attack. If a man succeeds in weathering two of tbem the odds are In favor of his coming out victor in tbe third. Almost every community possesses a citizen who boasts tbe fact that be has a silver plate In his skull. Surgeons say that very few attempts were ever made at such an operation, and all of them were failures. There does not exist a man who has a silver plate In his skull, although many men honestly believe that they are carrying this species of paraphernalia In their crantums. The bone of the skull cannot live and be healthy In the presence of a foreign body. It Is said by surgeons to be physical Impossibility, but this serves In no way to overcome the common and erroneous belief. The medical fraternity has another false belief to combat in cases of "shin gles." This disease consists of a skin eruption, always following affected nerves and commonly appearing on the body. It is a very common belief that if the "shingles" completely surround the body end strike a meeting point the patient will die Instantly. Tbe belief is untrue. Kansas City Journal.

DOG TEAMS TO RACE Alaska's Greatest Sporting Event Promises to Attract Attention. LAST WINNERS FAVORITES Seattle, Wash., Oct 13. Although a number of obstacles have been encountered to Interfere with advance plans for the annual sweepstakes dogteam race at Nome for the coming winter, It is the opinion of Jake Berger that the difficulties wilt be overcome and the next event made an even more notable sporting event than that of last year. Mr. Berger, with a team of dogs valued at $10,000, won the first prize purse and trophy last year, and with a second team carried away honors of the second race. He arrived In Seattle recently from Nome. He will spend the winter in Seattle, going North by the winter overland trail from Valdea for the dog races. Mr. Berger proposes to enter both teams with which he took big winnings last year. He says that some changes In the outfits have been made, but the teams will be substantially the same. He has had the dogB kept carefully throughout the year, and believes that nothing to be assembled from all Alaska can keep him from being a winner. The services of "Scotty" Allen, whose work as a driver was an important factor with last season's races have been retained by Mr. Berger to handle his entries for the next events. Prior to the sailing of the steamship Senator, on which Mr. Berger came to Seattle from Nome, a fundjof nearly $5,000 had been assembled far the dog races. The showing is considered favorable for extending the fund to per mit offering purses and trophies to the amount of $15,000. The gold and silver trophy that was a part of the Berger winnings of last year was brought out from Nome and will be placed on exhibition in Seattle. It is said that three of the stingiest men in the state were in town yesterday. One of them will not drink as much water as he wants unless it is from an other man's .well. The second forbids any of his family from writing anything but a "small hand,"' as it is waste of ink to make large letters. The third stops his clock at night in order to save wear and tear on the machinery. All of them decline to take their county paper, on the ground that it is a terrible strain on their spectacles to read newspapers even in the daytime. Olney (Tex.) Oracle. Shingles.

4 YEARS OF WORK ENOUGH FOR WIFE

Washington Woman, Asking a Divorce, Gives Schedule Of Day's Work. BEGAN AT 4 IN MORNING SHE COOKED FOR THIRTY MEN, SAWED WOOD, LOADED GRAIN, BUTCHERED HOGS AND THEN SHE MADE SAUSAGE. Spokane, Oct. 13. Mrs. Maries Mann, wife of John Lester Mann, a bonanza wheat rancher in Spokane coun ty, shows in her petition for divorce. filed in the Superior Court here that the routine of her four years of married life left no time for visiting relatives or neighbors, to say nothing of bridge, whist and music. Stripped of their legal verbiage, the allegations set forth in tbe complaint present tbe appended schedule of duties: Rise at four o'clock, a. m. Exercise with a crosscut saw on a pile of logs. Get breakfast for a threshing crew of thirty men, each possessed of a healthy appetite. After breakfast. Plant potatoes and other chores. Clean the barn and chop wood for the cook stove.

Darn socks, make bread and do other work till ten o'clock; bed on a pallet of straw on the floor of the cookhouse. The complaint closes with the declaration that Mrs. Mann was literally forced by her husband to perform th? tasks mentioned, alleging also that when she was too ill to work he refused to permit her to go to her mother's home.

SMITH IS SUMMONED Indianapolis, Oct. 13. As a result of a conference yesterday between GoverMarshall and former Lieutenant-Governor Wattress, of Pennsylvania, now of New York- city, a second conference attended by the governor and Mr. Wat tress, Dr. S. E. Smith, superintendent of the Eastern Indiana hospital for the Insane, and James Bingham, attorneygeneral, was called to consider the forfeited contract of the E. M. Campfield Construction company, which company originally got the contract for erecting the Southern hospital for the insane, at Madison. Mr. Wattress is the New York representative of one of the surety companies which signed the construction company bond, and he waited on the governor to inform him that the surety companies concerned held that under the conditions accompanying the forfeiture of the contract, they were not responsible on the bond. The contention of Mr. Wattress is that according to Section IS of the agreement the contract could not be forfeited except on twenty-days notice in writing to the contractor by the commissioner in charge of the construction. He produced written evidence that no twenty day notice was given, and protested that only one day's notice was given, and that such notice was verbal. He was inclined to attach the blame to former Governor Hanly for the summary declaration of forfeiture. In order to hear the state's Bide of the case. Governor Marshall telephoned Dr. Smith, who was made superintendent of the construction for the new building, and Mr. Bingham, who, as attorney-general, examined the contract. After the forfeiture of the contract, the state attempted to collect from tb-3 surety companies on the Campfield bond, but thus far it has not been successful. After his conference with Mr. Wattress, the governor declined to make any positive statement concerning the merits of his visitor's claim.

Frank J. Mclntyre and Gertrude Dalton In "The Traveling Salesman." Orpheum Stock Co. The Orpheum Stock company which is appearing at the Gennett theater this week has some very excellent vaudeville acts, besides which their plays are all well staged and acted. Tonight The Garrison Girl. Primrose Minstrel. The reputation as the best of a'l singing and dancing organizations on earth is being sustained by the Primrose Minstrels with a vengeance this season, as can be inferred from the really extraordinary press notices regarding the aggregation of vocalists, instrumentalists and terpsichorean artists, who furnish this important part of the entertainment It is also allowed that seldom, if ever, have so many absolute novelty features been provided as Mr. Primrose secured for this famous troupe, among which is a startling act of fun and frolic presented by the Ward Brothers and Gov. Bowen. The 'Primrose Minstrels will be accorded a warm welcome at the Gennett next Tuesday, October 19 and an evening of glorious amusement is being anticipated with the utmost confidence. "The Traveling Salesman." The length to which actors must go in order to acquaint themselves with a part, and the expedients they must resort to is something that the rank and file of theatergoers know nothing of. Many an actor, in order to secure an engagement to play a principal role must needs familiarize himself with some peculiarities of a trade or profession, or must acquaint himself with the atmosphere that surrounds the part, and in doing this must visit out-of-the-way places or get in touch with those who are living the part In "The Traveling Salesman," which will be presented at the Gennett theater, Monday night Mr. James Forbes the author, has his leading character representing on the road, a woman's ready-to-wear garment firm. The consequence is he must be familiar with the tricks of the trade and a little deft touches a representative of such a concern must have in order to properly .display his samples. Frank Mclntyre Is cast for the part, and after the premier of the play, he was In receipt of a dozen or more letters from commercial men representing a line of goods the same as Mclntyre, as Bob Blake, is supposed to sell, and in which they criticized the manner in which Mr. Mclntyre displayed the samples and tried them on the model. The Murray Theater. Full of life, abundant in comedy and music and on a higher plane of vaudeville than anything hitherto seen in Richmond is the opening offering that is now being presented at the new Murray theater. Eddie Adair and his Yankee Octette bring the fullest expectations of the modern vaudeville patron, as regards good singing and music, to their complete realization. The costuming and scenery of this act are elegant and there is a vim and dash to the act from the beginning to the end. The act is resplendent with catchy songs which are cleverly and well rendered by a capable company. Something that is new and away from the beaten paths of the regular gymnastic stunts is the travesty presented by LeClair and Sampson who are styled the "Bogus Athletes." The marvelous head and hand balancing these men pull off is absolutely wonderful and people do wonder until they find out the cause. Ferguson and Passmore are a revelation when It comes to dancing. The steps which the male member of the team executes are especially clever while the songs and monologue which Miss Passmore renders show her versatility in that line of performance. The one act playlet "Our Wife" which is presented by Frank Rutledge and company is full of comedy and dramatic force which are blended together in a most pleasing manner. The new Illustrated song "Down at the Vaudeville Show," written by Miss Eva Haxeltine and dedicated to the new theater, and the motion pictures round out one of the best bills ever seen In this city. The Golden Butterfly." First among the corps of distinguished artists selected for The Golden Butterfly" which cornea to the

Gennett Wednesday, October 20, stands that artistic conductor, Anton Heindl, who has contributed so much toward making the opera an American triumph. Before joining "The Golden Butterfly" company be was for years musical head of the entire Klaw and Erlanger forces. For three years he was director of the Metropolitan opera house orchestra. New York, and has thus conducted for some of the great

est singers in the world. Although full of reminiscences of people famous upon the stage, Mr. Heindl is of such a retiring disposition that he Is rarely induced to tell any personal anecdotes of them. As a conductor, Mr. Heindl has an easy, graceful way that carries the people upon the stage and the orchestra with him with apparently no effort. Unlike many men who have achieved prominence In his line, Mr. Heindl's methods are of the mild sort at rehearsal, and consequently the troubles of the stars and chorus alike are fewer than they are with many musical directors. "The Merry Widow." A Hungarian band appears in the Maxim's scene in "The Merry Widow," lead by Veress, a celebrated cafe leader from the Ritz Hotel, Paris. The players come from Buda-Pesth. It was Veress's custom when playing for his guests to wander from table to table where the pretty women were present and with his persuasive violin tell mem nis aaorauon ana nis eternal ; worship of beauty. This is a famous! feature of all the great Parisian restaurants which does not appeal to jealous American husbands with hand some wives, and Richard Harding Davis has written a powerful story around an adventure between Veress and a young American bridegroom who resented the frank musical expression of admiration by the handsome Hungarian violinist The Merry Widow will be at the Gennett Friday, October 22.

a pleasing ringer and a fair performer on the piano. Mrs. Peters can cast or mould anything that comes to hand, carrying the sizzling hot metal and doing her own pouring. She also handles brass castings, melting and pouring the metal herself. She can run a handsaw and keep it in order, and she can even make her own patterns from the blue prints as they come from the hands of the draughtsmen. In an engine-room she can fire the boilers, keep up the proper amount of steam and water and run the engine. Not only that she can take the engine apart and put it together again. It is the work in the machine shop, however, that attracts this remarkable woman most and she likes such difficult Jobs as "kej setting a coupling. "threading a piece of steel" and making a "shrinking fit." And yet she is not spoiled for a housekeeper, nor has her exnertness as a machinist detracted from the feminine side of her nature. She has a good education, her conversation is

intelligent and entertaining, and. be sides being a cook of no mean ability, she sings and plays. Mrs. Peters picked up her trade when frequenting her husband 'a shop, where she watched the men operate the machines until she had gained suf ficient courage to undertake it herself.
