NICARAGUAN SITUATION BAD

An Evening with Duncan, the Hypnotist. Some of the funny things that he

has the subjects doing.

PLEASING ATTRACTION.

"Golden Butterfly" Was a Genuine Treat.

"The Golden Butterfly," with Miss Grace Van Studkiiford In the leading role, is a genuine comic opera of a much higher standard than the ordinary musical comedy. The stage settings are excellent, the costumes superb and the chorus one of the strongest ever heard in this olty. A bevy of vivacious, pretty girls with good voices (a rare combination), some clever dancing and effective dialogue, altogether make up orne of the most pleasing performances it has been the pleasure of a Richmond audience to witness for some time. Miss Van Studdiford is the possessor of a voice that is seldom found on the comic opera stage. It is of a peculiarly sweet and melodic quality, at the same time strong and vibrant, and Is handled with much skill. The songs are catchy but not strictly of the whistling kind, the majority being rather heavy and more on the order of grand opera- The electrical effects were magnificent. An excellent house witnessed! the production.

New Phillips Theater. The heavy downpour of rain last night did not dampen the ardor of theater goers, for despite this fact, a larga audience gathered at the New Philips to witness the awakening of Miss Dilliard from her forty-eight hour hypnotic sleep, and to enjoy the other features offered. One of the funny stunts put on last night was a tailor shop scene, in which one subject thought that he was a tailor and patched an imaginary tear on another subject's coat, and when the subject r"v fused to pay the hypnotic tailor for.h's services he became rather serious and wanted to give his customer a thrashing, but Duncan straightened out matters nicely, by bringing the subjects

to their normal conditions. This morning at nine o'clock, Duncan hypnotized a young man and seated him at a piano in the window of the Watson Music store, where he will play continuously all day without eating or drinking anything. He will be released from his somnambulistic condition tonight at the New Phillips theatre. Other features in conjunction with the awakening of the piano player will be the hynotic minstrels, skating rink scene, and stump speeches.

"A Hired Girl." Probably no vocation would be more eagerly sought by girls than that of a hired girl, if they were surrounded in real life with such clever company and wealth of music, costumes and general gaiety, as that which C. F. Smith weaves around the lady who portrays that character in his successful nonsensical musical farce comedy, "A Hired Girl." Twenty-five people are required to assist in distributing the 303 laughs that emanate from this play and it is brimful of clean, snappy dialogue, ludicrous situations and the kind of songs that send you home whistling them. The piece was built solely for laughing purposes and New York sets its approval on it by supporting it through a ten months' run at the Star Theater. At the Gennett theater this evening.

The Murray Theater. The act, "A Night With the Poets" now being presented at the Murray theater still continues to draw large crowds at every performance. The Werntx in their aerial act are good. Van Dell and Ro Zell in a comedy musical act can not be beat for clean fun and refined music. Bert Melbern the black face comedian with his catchy monologue has the audience at his mercy. The illustrated song and motion pictures are good.

"The Merry Widow." The company of artists which Mr. Savage is sending here have helped make "The Merry Widow" the sensation of this country, most of the principals having played at the New Amsterdam theater in New York city during the long run of one solid year. Miss Frances Cameron, the Hungarian prima donna, who has been singing the title roll in New York, Chicago and Boston, comes direct from New York city to open this exceptional engagement at the Gennett Friday, October 22 and that she will receive a right royal welcome goes without saying. Mr. George Dameral, the handsome Prince Danilo, who has the record number of performances in this country, will repeat his wonderful success in the part of Danilo. Those of prominence in the large company of one hundred people are Misses Theresa Van Brunem, Georgena Leary and Messrs. Oscar Figman, Thomas Leary, William C. Weedon. Charles Kaufman, M. J. G. Briggs, W. J. Strunz and Carl Schultz, the well known director of the "Madam Butterfly" grand opera orchestra.

VICTIM

(American News Service) New York, Oct 21. A well dressed and pretty woman about thirty-five years of age, was found lying unconscious in the doorway of the Brooklyn and New York Casket company at Myrtle Avenue and Pearl street, Brooklyn, by Policeman John Moon. The officer detected the odor of knockout drops, and sent in an ambulance call to the Brooklyn hospital. When Doctor Bookshire arrived, the woman was still unconscious and was taken to the hospital, where she died an hour later. As her pocketbook, and a chatelaine bag were found open, and containing only a few cents, the police believe that she was drugged and robbed, the potion proving fatal.

The total length of railway under construction or immediately projected in Indiana is 3.222 miles, of which about one-third is by the British government and the rest by private companies. The estimated cost is over $12-000,000.

INSURGENTS HOPE TO DEFEAT PRESIDENT ZELAYA'S FORCES AND ARE PREPARING TO MAKE THE FIRST ATTACK.

Bluefields, Nicaragua, October 21. The insurgents are preparing to advance in full force to meet the Zelayan forces before "ey can reach any of the Atlantic coast town-s. General Estrada has distributed ten thousand rifles, which arrived aboard schooners today. Rama, where the revolutionists have made their headquarters, ean be successfully defended against ten thousand troops, according to Estrada, while small garrisons have been stationed in the small cost towns. From Rama, scouting expeditions have been sent out, and Estrada hopes to have his army mobilized before their return. Generals Reyes and Diaz, who arrived here from Limon with one hundred exiles, were today plated in command of divisions. The local American newspapers are supporting Estrada, and a number of Americans here have enlisted with the insurgents. Rivas, Cornito, Leon and San Juan del Sur are now in the hands of the Estrada followers. As the Zelayan columns, on their advance eastward from Managua and the Pacific coast towns, are delayed by heavy rains, it is not believed the main bodies of the two armies will clash for some days.

BOOKS CHEAPER HERE

Under the uniform school text book law Indiana school patrons are buying books for the use of pupils at from 25 to 40 per cent less than the same books can be bought for in Ohio, where no such law exists, according to J. W. Zeller, Ohio state school commissioner, who is now in Indiana studying educational problems in the common schools. As a specific instance, Mr. Zeller has called attention to the Freye Advanced Geography, contractedfor by the state board of school book commissioners to be delivered to the pupils in Indiana for 75 cents. In Ohio the cost of the same book, accorddng to Mr. Zeller, is $1.04.

People all over the United States and Europe have got the idea that yon can't get a piece of bread and butter in New York for less than Its weight in silver, nickel or copper. All this comes of hearing a lot of talk about the St. Regis and a few other such places where some handfuls of newlyrich pay absurd prices for food, drink and beds. Now, If a New York1 visitor takes a notion into his head to sit down

in a silver spoon cafe and hand out money to everybody, he certainly will need a big bunch, but if he wants to live on the right food for about lo or 20 cents a day. the trick can be don-i here, parhaps a littre than anywhere else in the world. New York Press.

A woman has just been made a judge in Denmark, and the Danish women are boasting that it i the first time in the history of the world that such an office has been given to a woman. The suffragists of the United States reply by pointing to Mrs. Esther Morris, of Wyoming; Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch, of Illinois, and Mrs. Mary Cooper, of Kansas. The Jewish women add to this list Deborah, the wife of Lapidoth. who not only judged the people of Israel for forty years, but led their forces to battle because th3 general refused to go without her.

QUALITY that will win public approval, otherwise it would create disaster. The sales soon tell the story and they have told the story satisfactorily about the "Merode" Brand. Perhaps the following figures will be of interest: 18,000 garments daily is the output of the Merode Brand.' 500,000 dozens a year. 5,400,000 single garments distributed by merchants throughout the United States. 2,000,000 women and children (allowing three garments to the person) wear "Merode" Vests, Pants, Drawers, Tights, Union Suits, and Cor

set Covers daily. This output is the largest of any known brand or mill making underwear for women and children and could be materially increased if the plant was able to produce them more rapidly. Every fibre of yarn, every pearl button, every stitch of sewing thread or silk, every inch of lining, represents quality to the utmost limit. All weights, light, medium and heavy. The perfection of fit is a source of comfort and explains in a great measure why the sale of "Merode" has reached such tremendous figures. Any of the garments featured below will more than prove our statements.
