Judge Henry C. Fox of the Wayne Circuit Court, has received a letter ' from Governor Marshall Informing him that the capacity of the state school for girls at Indianapolis, has been reached, and that until notice has been sent out to the effect that present inmatc3 of the place have been released, ail girls sentenced to the school must cared for locally, either by boards of children's guardians, charitable organizations, or in county jails under proper conditions. The situation has been growing grave for some time, and the governor's letter was not unexpected. Since the separation of the school from the women's prison a large number of incorrigible girls have been sent to the school. These girls present one of the most difficult problems with which the state and the circuit court judges have to deal. Capacity Exceeded. The normal capacity of the school 13 2 Miss Charlotte Dye, superintendent, reported to Governor Marshall that the enrollment was 323. The number enrolled at the close of the recent fiscal year, September SO, was 321. white the average daily attendance for the year was 280.45 or 41.40 more than the nomal capacity. " What the local authorities will do with girls who would otherwise be sent to the institution is a question now giving the board of state charities, which has control over such cases, considerable trouble. Under tbe law no child between the ages of three and seventeen may be kept in a county poor asylum for more than sixty days. The law provides further that no child shall be kept in a county jail where conditions are such that they are compelled to associate with hardened criminals, and few counties, according to the board, are equipped to provide proper restraint for girls. The comparatively small number of homes maintained by boards of children's guardians further complicates the matter. Wayne county has a number of girls confined in the Institution but none have been sent during the past year.

The Bathing Girls with Henry Woodruff in "The Prince of Tonight" Gennett Tuesday, December 14.
at the
"The Soul Kiss.One of the novel scens in "The Soul Kiss" which comes to the Gennett on Wednesday, Dec., 15, is a panoramic view of New York at night from the roof of the Singer Building, upon the edge of which "Mephisto " perches, and ruminates upon the sins and follies of the city's inhabitants. It is said to be one of the most effective scenes ever designed.
The Dose That Was Handed to the Persistent Agent. lie was a sewiug machine agent of tUif most itgsressive type. I?"or twenty tuiuutes the lady of the house bad been awaiting an opportunity to say that she ul ready possessed one. At last be paused, only long enough, however, to thrust a card into the lady's hand. The bit of pasteboard was certainly a novelty. "My name is Selleni." it read, "of the tirm of Blank & Co., sewing machine manufacturers, and 1 intend to prove to you that it Is madness to defer purchasing oue of our unequaled machines." After a long description of the ma thine came the following:
"You may plead that you are unable to work a machine. 1 will remove that
objection in Ofteen minutes or In three lessons. , Will call next Wednesday." When the agent called again a sis foot man opened the door and blandly remarked:
"You're the sewing machine man, I
suppose?" "Yes.-'I called last week, and"
"Yes, SI know." Interrupted the big
man. "You don't know me. 1 suppose
My name's Bury of Bury & Keepera,
undertakers, and I intend to prove to
you that It is madness to defer purchasing one of our unequaled coffins." The agent began to edge away.
"You may plead that you are scarcely qualified-for a coffin." the big man
went on. "I will remove that objection
In ten seconds."
But the agent simply tore from the
house. London Tit-Bits.

T. P. A. Notes
"The Prince of Tonight." Miss Ruth Peebles, prima donna of "The Prince of Tonight," which will be at the Gennett on Tuesday, Dec. 14, was riding in an Illinois Central coach one day and overheard the conversation of a bevy of matinee girls, who were discussing different well known stars. "Who is this Henry Woodruff, the leading man in 'The Prince of Tonight?" asked one of the girls. "Why," spoke up a second, "my father says he saw Woodruff in 'The Black Flag' in 1865." "M!y aunt saw him in 'The' Girl I Left Behind Me,' during the World's Fair," said a third. "I saw him in 'Ben Hur, chirped another. "I remember him in 'Mary of Magdala,'" said the second girl who had spoken. "And I saw him in 'Brown
of Harvard.' "
"That's nothing," said a little girl in
the corner, who had been a good lis
tener, "I have you all beaten. I saw him in an elevator the other day, and
what's more, girls, his hair is real!"
high classed for the headliner but the
bill this week has two headliners.
The Heidleburg Four, vaudeville
greatest singers, are one of the head
liners. Their singing is perfect and
the selections rendered are full ol
music and harmony. The solos rend
ered in this act are a treat to every
audience. The bass solo is exception ally good.
The Carnellas Family, the catapult
acrobats, are the other headliners, The feats they perform are truly won derful. The double somersault performed by the little girl of this com
pany is one of the most daring on the
vaudeville stage today
Barnes-Reming Co., have a funny (
little playlet entitled "Mrs. Fotter's First." It shows the awful mixup of twin brothers and the trouble is caused with one of their wives. Marie McNeil, the famous cornet soloist, will give the people of this
city some real cornet playing. She
comes highly recommended and is sure to prove popular with the audience.
HAUNTED ALASKAN ISLAND.
Boyer Stock Co. You can count the few big reper
toire companies touring the country at present on your fingers, and as the Gennett this season has given sonio sensational surprises at popular prices
10, 20 and 30 cents, the biggest bomb yet to be thrown into amusement circles of this city will be this week, commencing tonight when the Nancy
Boyer company, decidedly first class
in every respect opens its engagement
with the beautiful drama "The Girl From Out Yonder," and to make ev
erything perfect in regard to produc
tion, a 60-foot car load of scenery is carried, while the electrical effects are the latest, in fact each and ever" play presented by the company will be a production complete in every detail, while the company supporting Miss Boyer are artists picked for their ability along their individual lines. Miss Boyer, dainty and sweet, has never been seen to better advantage thau in the role of "Flotsam" the
lighthouse keeper's daughter, a waif I
to whom the sound of its waters ars as music to her wild romantic soul.
Ghosts of Russian Exiles Who Died of Starvation or Torture. To the south and west of Eodiak. distant about 100 miles and forming one of the Semldi group. Is the island of Chirikof. the haunted island of Alaska. Enshrouded for a great portion of the time with almost Impenetrable fog. this lonely isle is an object of terror to the natives, who claim it is haunted by the ghosts of Russian exiles. The natives will not go near the Island, saying it means certain death to invade the canny confines, and there are few men in the far north who have the temerity to test the truth of the many and weird tales told of this forbidding and barren island. Shipmasters and sailors passing the place assert that the agonizing cries of Russian exiles sent there to starve or die by torture are sometimes heard on quiet nights, while the clink of chains and the sound of blows are testified to in an affidavit by a white man. who once attempted to remain there for a week and who nearly lost bis reason. Tanana Tribune.
, The Noise Hsbit. A personal experience first showed the writer the possibility of a state of affairs where the habit of noise could become as fixed as the habit of a drug. Waking one night In the quiet of a country house far from other habitations, I suddenly beard the starting of the hot air engine which pumped the water chug, chug, chug, chug. I lay
Each day in this paper we are going to tell you about some of our toys and Christmas Things. Now if you will read each article carefully as it comes out and then mark the toy or present you would like best. Then cut the whole article out and at the end of each week either take them to your parents or bring them direct to Santa Claus in this way they will know that you would like to have most and ycu will have a better chance of getting just what you want.
The Mirrorscope Have you ever heard about the Mirrorscope? It is a wonderful little machine which will entertain both your parents and yourself. It will take a post card or any kind of a picture and will enlarge it and throw it on a screen and will make it appear in its original colors. If you have a picture post card of Glen Miller taken on a bright summer day, you can place it in the Mirrorscope and there it will appear on the screen, almost as large as life, in all the pretty colors, just as it was when the picture was taken. Can you think of anything that would be more fun during the long winter evenings? Moving Picture Machines Then too we have these moving picture machines just like those that throw the pictures on the screens at the shows up town. Not quite so large of course and not nearly so expensive but just as much fun for you can use them yourself and throw the pictures you want to see most on the screen.
Magic Lanterns
You'll get lots of fun out of a magic lantern. The slides don't cost much and you can get pictures from places all over the world, and make them appear almost life like. ' If you'll tell your parents or come and tell Santa how you'd like to have one of these, maybe he'll save one for you.
English Go-Carls We haven't forgotten that doll of yours, little glrL and we have a fine line of English go-carts. These are Just like the ones w hich are proving so popular with mothers just now. Only they are made little girl size. They are made just as well and ' are perfect imitations in every way. Don't you think that dolly would like to hae one of these to ride in? Now, if you haven't the doll, you would like to have for this cart, yet just mark this anyway, and when we tell you about our dolls you can mark' that too and maybe you might get both. Merry-Go-Rouiid Teetering Boards This is something very new and something that every wideawake boy and girl should want. It's an up-to-date teeter board and merry-go-round combined. Up and down and all around that's the way it goes fine fun and healthful exercise too. This is a present that will do for two of you. Shoot-the-Chutes You've heard of big people doing this, haven't you, at parks and shows and such. Well, we've a little shoot-the-chute here that is just about as much fun. A little wagon and m little folding track which is long enough and sets steep enough for the wagon to run thirty feet after it reaches the ground. All the fun of coasting and you don't have to wait for the snow. Not a bit of danger about it either.
Santa will be at our store every afternoon and evening from now until Christmas. Here you can come to him with your marked articles or can come and ask him to show you the things you think you want, or you can call him over the phone, No. 1818, and ask him anything you want to know.

One thing is surely certain, and that is that every state division must now begin to lay plans for some uniform line of action to be carried out at our next national convention. Only one thing must be held uppermost in the minds of all and that, the complete overthrow of the present rotten regime that holds sway in St Louis. We must have six new members of the board of directors to replace those who would drive our organization down to oblivion. The welfare of the T. P. A. demands a total revision of our official family. We must begin to look about for good men to be selected for the positions and every one must fight hard to see that these men are elected to office. Every state convention should unite on one policy, and that only for the betterment of our organization. If this is not done we are bound to lose strength at an alarming degree, or oar own good, every little, petty strife must be set aside. Now is the time to begin the great, hard work efore ua-
Needful Knowledge
Richmond People Should Learn to Detect the Approach of Kidney Disease. The symptoms of 1-dney trouble are so unmistakable that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of
sediment, irregular or passage or ct-
tended by a sensation of scalding. The back aches constantly, headaches Mid dizzy spells may occur and the victim
is often weighed down by a feeHng of languor and fatigue. Neglect these
warnings and there is danger of drcisy, Bright's disease, or diabetes. Any one of these symptoms is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often proves fatal. You can use no better remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Richmond proof: Mrs. F. P. Brooks, 215 S. Fifth Street Richmond, Ind., says: "We have used Doan's Kidney Pills in our family for years and would not be without a supply in the house. I took this remedy for a weakness of the kidneys and pains in my back and sides and I found relief. Doan's Kidney Pills are deserving of the strongest endorsement." For sale by all dealers. Price " 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo. New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other.

Oddly Named. A Mr. Hudson, who bad made a large fortune as a dentist, had built a very expensive country house near Dublin, bat of such an extraordinary construction as to bid defiance to the criticism of the architect. One day after dinner at Curran's this singular mansion became a subject of merriment for bis guests. The question for their satirical inquiry was, "What was its order of architecture?" One said it certainly was Grecian, another contended it was Saxon and a third that it was oriental, when their host thus interposed: "Excuse me, gentlemen, you are all wrong. It is Tusk-nn. From the irregularities of the mansion and from its proprietor being a dentist the Irish call it Snaggletooth Hail." Loadon Answers.
Not Worth m Rush. - "Not worth a rush" is. as a popular saying, the predecessor of the now more common simile' "not worth a straw." In precarpet days it was the custom to strew the floors of dwelling houses. When guests of rank were entertained fresh rushes were spread for them, but folk of lower degree had to be content with rashes that had already been used, while still humbler persouft had none, as not even beinc "wort)'- a rush."
