SEES BENEFITS III THE PEIIMEFORMS President Patton of American Prison Association Feels Encouraged.

(National Nw Association) OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 14 In his annual address before tho American Prison association, which opened its convention hero this evening, President T. I). Patton of Huntington, Pa., aid in part: "We are today building on the foundations which were deeply and strongly laid in the yars gone by, by men who were moved by an impulse not born of man, but divinely implanted, and who were kd to undertake the inauguration of measures which have finally resulted in the accomplishment of such humane results as are now generally observed in the prisons of this and other countries. "Not alone this, but thiH movement, tinder the fostering care of this organization has been largely instrumental in securing the co-operation of other kindred organizations and societies, whose beneficent ministries are being expended not on the prisoner indirectly, but on those who are called upon to suffer by reason of the prisoner's wrongdoing, and these united efforts mark the onward progress of organized co-operation on the part of various organizations who are justly entitled to and aro freely given our highest encomiums of praise, because of the magnificent results they have accomplished. "The enactment of such wise legislation as is best calculated to properly protect society and to provide under humane discipline and restraint an adequate punishment for the offender; the securing of the proper and regular employment of the prisoner in prison under wise state law; the obtaining of a rightful portion of the prisoner's earnings for the use of his dependent family; the systematic investigation of their real needs and the furnishing of prompt relief to the worthy, and possible effort for their rehabilitation or removal to more favorable surroundings; the Invoking of the probation law where such will be conducive to the best results; the comprehensive study of the prison population as far as possible to secure proper statistics on which to base accurate results; the well organized effort now at work in a number of our larger centers of population In the study and betterment of the slum districts, and the more general effort in many localities in the Interest of the betterment of the environment of the children and youth, are all encouraging signs of the far-reaching interest at work for the uplift and saving of humanity, and to this end we say God speed to the organization who, in carrying forward their work, have gone back to the childhood day. and rho, 'striving to break the bondage not only of heredity and environment, are through sympathy, love and interest, thus securing a foothold in districts, communities and individual homes as well, and in which their organized effort Is bearing a fruitage most encouraging Indeed, and bids fair in due course of time to prove a strong bulwark In the reduction of crime, as well as of the criminal class. "My message to the association, brief though It be, is one of encouragement at the result our united effort has already accomplished, and an earnest plea for a deeper consciousness of our duty to the work and a spirit of earnestness therein, which will lead us to have an implicit confidence in the cause, to have the faculty of Impressing our worth upon those under our care, and realizing that it is a great thing to 'be a man,' to encourage every man to 'aspire to be a real man.' " Amusements CLEAN PLAYS DEMANDED NOW. Of the active theatrical producing managers of the present day, Daniel Frohmnn is probably the oldest in point of actual service and of all those managers before the public he is best known for philanthropic work among those needing assistance in his profession. He is most identified with the actors' fund and the Actors' home, and is always foremost when the call of charity comes the way of the theaters. Mr. Frohman's company from his Lyceum theater. New York, will give at the Oennett theater. Thursday, Oct. 19, the first performance in this city of his newest comedy, "Thy Neighbor's Wife." As an advocate of clean and wholesome plays and a producer of them, Mr. Frohman has always held a foremost place. Incidentally, it may be mentioned that many of the successful stars now playing throughout the country were developed under his auspices and direction. When asked his opinion of the outlook for the drama this season Mr. Frohman said: 'From my point of view, it is bigger than ever. When I say bigger, J mean more extensive. Formerly there were but few producing managers In New York. Now every manager is a producing manager. He preHere's a Tip, Think it Over Grape-Nuts A Food for Brains - - Tfcc,i a Cccsca "

sents plays, musical comedies, burlesques and so forth. There have been so many theaters bujlt throughout the country that they need this supply. It may not be the best for the drama, but it at least encourages more new writers for the stage, because they are more likely to get an opening. America is one of the greatest theatergoing nations in the world." "Is there a strong objection to the immoral play?" he was asked. "An objection to this kind of play has always existed, but in a few large cities plays with suggestive subjects always find an audience. But the general theatergoing audience shuns them.

American theater audiences are audi-; ences composed of families, and the play is successful only when the subject can be discussed around the family circle. The theme, for instance, of 'Thy Neighbor's Wife' is on such a subject, and the plot contained in this story is a plot which is a reflection of every household, or nearly every household in America. Its theme is universal. "Yes, a great many of the young men and women who used to be in my Lyceum company in New York .are now the great stars of America. With me and my company first began E. H. Sothern, Maude Adams, Margaret Anglin, Mary Mannering. Annie Russell, Viola Allen, James K. Hackett, William Kaversham and dozens of others. I have several members in my com pany who will be equally heard of ! in the near future. Hut the predispo-j sition of audiences for dramatic work is toward clean and wholesome plays, and my old Lyceum theater was regarded as a family house because the works I produced there, such as 'The Prisoner of Zenda,' 'Trelawney of the Wells,' 'The Wife,' 'The Charity Ball, and so on were plays that were good for fireside family consumption. Maude Adams has become a national figurehead because she has always been identified with clean and wholesome plays. "Neither in London nor in Paris are there now such attractive plays as some that will be offered to the American public this coming season. Some of them, of course, may fail, but when the season closes the American stage will have moved pleasantly along another portion to the path of progress." AT THE MURRAY. The bill for the coming week at the Murray, the theater beautiful, looks to be an exceptionally strong one, and good houses should greet the performers at each show during the week. Lessick and Anita open the show in a surpassing and novel display of marvelous gun spinning, the only exhibtion of its kind on earth. Hadji Lessick is regarded both in Europe and America to be an all round triple gun juggling expert. His partner Anita is a beautifully costumed quality soprano and a skilled manipulator. Dolly Burton with a score or more of trained dogs will be one of the main features of the show. It is seldom an act of this kind is worked by a I lady, but Miss Burton is acknowledged one of the best trainers in the business. . . . Eleanor Kissell, a young miss of very few summers, is a singer and dancer of ability. The young miss is possessed of a beautiful soprano voice that has been well trained. Gardner and Vincent, the headliners, are presenting their latest spectacle, "The Magic Horse," a modern fairy tale by Mr. Gardiner, suggested by the tale of the flying horse in the "Arabian Nights." This act is said to be one of the best and most unique acts presented at the Murray for some time and should no doubt take with the Richmond theatergoers. Motion pictures as usual conclude the performance. The Theaters "Baby Mine," at the Gennett yesterday afternoon and evening, is an amusing farce. If it's rather vulgar, after a fashion. Its situations are so preposterous and its absurdities so flaunting, the deepest-dyed grouch would grant it a laugh, if a reluctant one. There's nothing much to be said about the play. Dramatically, it is well put together, is full of rapid action and has a clever finale in that the latter is the climax, and there's no sliding down from the pinnacle later. This gives it unexpected piquancy. The story is that of a silly girl married to a good sort of a chap, who is tired of her frivolities and vacuity, jealous, and wants to settle down to a domestic life. He finally leaves after a quarrel, and to get him back she rents a baby from an asylum with consequent ludicrous complications. The company which presented the play here was capable and, indeed, the caste was a clever one. It was so equally balanced that the honors could hardly be awarded to any one. Miss Nanon Welch, as "Zoie," the wife,, interpreting this role with much theatric eclat and giving a convincing impersonation cf a shallow, selfish, frivolous, hair-brained young wife. "Alfred Hardy," the husband, taken by Benedict MacQuarrie, and "Jimmy Jinks." the friend who secures the baby, impersonated by John J. McCabe, were capitally done, the latter being exquisitely funny. "Aggie," Jimmy's wife, the remaining principal, displayed considerable theatric finesse, and May Freud, as "Rosa Gatti," and Evelyn May as "Maggie O'Flarety," the daughter of a washerwoman, were minor roles well taken.' Robert Collins, as "Michael O'Flarety," and F. O. Benson and George H. Harris as offi cers, took their small parts excellently well. While the play is farcical and created for no serious purpose, it is still based on certain elemental truths recognized by the audience. E. G. W. American typewriting machines are favorites in Siam, being used in the government offices and the business houses. Some of the machines are fitted with Siamese types.

RECLAMATION TO BE DISCUSSED BY BODY National Irrigation Congress to Hold Conference in Chicago, Dec. 5-9.

'National News Association) CHICAGO, 111., Oct. 14 To the landless and homeless the National Irrigation congress will bring glad tidings of opportunity for lands and homes on the millions of acres reclaimed under the spirit awakened by western irrigation and swamp land drainage. So states the official call for the nineteenth session at Chicago, Dec. 5 to 9 next, which has been issued over the signatures of B. A. Fowler, Phoenix, Ariz., president; Arthur Hooker, Chicago, 111., secretary; R. Insinger, Spokane, Wash., chairman of the executive committee, and Robert R. McCormick, Chicago, 111., chairman of the board of control. It is fitting that this great agricultural and development agency should at this time hold a great meeting in Chicago, one of the world's most important industrial and commercial centers. The lands available for private settlement, long thought unlimited, are practically exhausted, so that continued extension of settlement must depend on the reclamation of land control of the water supply, and Chicago is the clearing house for the western country involved in the new era of land developmnet. The peculiar fitness of Chicago for this meeting inspired the invitation and actuates a strong board of control who have undertaken to make the nineteenth meeting of the National Irrigation congress the most successful in its history. Here, where east and west meet, the congress will point with pride to that empire-building which made the "great American desert" a country of happy homes and of bounteous productivity. Never more important than now, when the population of the country is so rapidly increasing, were the objects of the congress, expressed in its motto, "Save the forests, store the floods, reclaim the deserts, make homes on the land." The personnel of the National Irrigation congress will Te as follows: The officers of the congress, the president of the United States, the vice president of the United States, the members of the cabinet, members of the United States senate and house of representatives, governors of states, members of the federal, state, territorial and insular irrigation, water and conservation commissions, state engineers and commissioners of agriculture, the mayor of each city or town having a population of over one thousand, chairmen of general and special committees, all permanent delegates of the congress. Delegates would be apopinted under the provisions cf the constitution as follows: Fifteen delegates appointed by the governor of each state or territory; ten delegates appointed by the mayor of each city of the United States of more than twenty-five thousand population; five delegates appointed by the mayor of each city in the United States of less than twenty-five thousand and over one thousand; five delegates appointed by the chairman of each board of county commisioners or county supervisors in the United States; two delegates appointed by the mayor from each incorporated town having a population of less than one thousand; two delegates duly accredited by each regularly organized society devoted to irrigation, agriculture, horticulture and engineering: two delegates regularly accredited from each college and university; two delegates duly accredited by each chamber of commerce, board of trade or commercial club. Appointment of delegates should be made as early as possible to facilitate the organization of state delegations. Notices of appointment giving full name, postofflce address and occupation of each delegate should be forwarded to the secretary of the National Irrigation congress at Chicago. Chicago is the center of a vast territory with millions of people "land hungry" and eager to learn of apporM OF PIMPLES Burned and Itched So He Could Hardly Stand It. Tried Medicines, Etc., Nearly 3 Years. In Eternal Misery. Started Using Cuticura Remedies. Now Has No Sign of Skin Disease. "My troubles began along in the summer In the hottest weather and took the form of small eruptions and itching and a kind of smarting pain. It took me mostly all over my bark and kept getting worse until finally my back was covered with a mass of pimples which would burn and itch at night so that I could hardly stand it. This condition kept getting worse and worse until my back was a solid mass of big sores which would break open and nm. My underclothing would be a clot of blood. "I tried various blood medicines and other remedies and salves for nearly three years and I was not getting any benefit. It seemed I was in eternal misery and could not sleep on my' back or lean back on a chair. I was finally given a set of the Cuticura Remedies by my brother who recommended them to me very highly. I started using the Cuticura Remedies and inside of two weeks I could see and feel a great relief. I kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment and also the Resolvent, and in about three or four months' time my back was nearly .cured and X felt like a new being. Now I am in good health and no sign of any skin diseases and I am fully satisfied that Cuticura Rem edies are the best ever made for skin dnrasfq I win always recommend them to anybody who will use according to directions. I would not be without them." Signed) W. A. Armstrong. Corbin, Kan., May 26, 1911.

The congress will tell of the wonders accomplished through reclamation and the great work remaining to be done. Ocular demonstrations of the truth will be found at the United States land and irrigation exposition at the Coliseum, Nov. 18 to Dec. 9. Provision has been made for giving exceptional attention to drainage, both in connection with irrigation projects and for the reclamation of swamp and overflow lands in the humid as well as in the more arid portions of the country.. The International Live Stock exposition will be held Dec. 2 to 9. The Chicago grand opera will delight and entertain the music lovers.

SUBDUED A BURGLAR Prowess of Town Belle Came in Good Stead. MT. PLEASANT, Penn., Oct. 14. Awakened by a burglar ransacking her room at 1 o'clock in the morning, Miss Clara Carabaugh, aged 17, one of the belles of the town, fought with the robber for fully half an hour and won. Miss Carabaugh, who is an all-round athlete, was all alone in the house at the time. The thief jimmied a side door and ransacked the entire lower part of the house. When he entered the young woman's room he tripped over a rug. Miss Carabaugh sprang out of bed and grabbed him by the throat. She bit about two inches of flesh out of his throat in the struggle. For fully 30 minutes the thief and the girl fought all over the room. The intruder finally got a good grip on her throat and three her to the floor. Realizing she was becoming weak, Miss Carabaugh fejgned unconsciousness. The burglar with an oath picked up the girl and threw her violently to the bed. To make sure she would not revive soon he clutched her throat for a minute. "You'll keep quiet now, you battler," he muttered, as he arose to continue his search. But suddenly Miss Carabaugh's both feet flew up. She kicked the thief with terrific force on the forehead. With a groan he fell to the floor unconscious. Miss Carabaugh ran out and called the police. But in the meantime the theif had revived and jumped from the window and escaped. NOT DEAD BUT ENJOYS GOOD HEALTH (National News Association) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 14. According to a dispatch from Grigsby, Idaho, Owen Wister, the author, is alive and is enjoying good health. The dispatch says that rumors of his ill health were unfounded. He had left his ranch in Wyoming yesterday afternoon for a short hunting trip. A member of the family of this city said today that it is possible that an innocent statement about the death of a member of the Wister family made Thursday night became distorted and reconstructed into the report that the author was the one who died.

JANITOR BREEDS MICE AS A HOBBY

Science Enriched by Strange Pets of Cripple Has a Yard Full. YORK, Pa., Oct. 14 Men s hobbies are not always profitable, but O. D. Baughman, a crippel janitor of this city, has one which he has developed into an industry. This industry, the breeding of mice, Baughman has brought down almost to a science. About ten years ago Baughman secured a few white mice with which to amuse himself. His pets multiplied until Baughman felt called upon to construct a larger abode for them. This was the beginning of his hobby. At present his entire yard is given up to an elaborate series of dens for fancy breeds of rats and mice, for which he has demands far exceeding his supply. Early in his career as a breeder of mice Baughman conceived the idea of constructing a novel mouse house, which would give the cunning little animals an opportunity to display some of their traits. Accordingly, he constructed a veritable circus, containing an immense spinning wheel and other apparatus upon which his pets amused themselves and a great many spectators by their performances. The outfit finally attracted the attention of the owner of a small road show, who purchased it with a full quota of rodent performers. Sold One Show. After selling this house Baughman set about constructing a new "palace," much upon the Coney Island idea. The new one is of gigantic size in contrast to its tiny occupants. It stands six feet high and four feet long and fourteen inches wide. It is made of zinc, 6teel and wood, with a glass sliding door. A mirror composes a portion of the back wall, while the remainder is decorated with a painted sky, a church, trees and other conceits. Upon the floor is an iron man holding an American flag in one hand and in the other a small wheel, upon which he mice delight to spin. Upon the back wall are constructed zigzag chutes, very much in the fashion of scenic railways, up and down which the small animals run nimbly. Above is a labyrinth of nooks and galleries such as delight rodents. A cute feature is a tiny saucer upon the floor. Upon this are perched images of a quartet of kittens. But the saucer is kept filled with milk and the mice drink greedily from it in disdain of their worst enemies. An amusing sight frequently witnessed in the mouse man's yard is a row of live cats from all about the neighborhood. These squat hungrily before the dens in which the mice and rats frisk about unconcerned as though aware of the safety afforded them by the intervening screens. Crossing Neighborhood Rodents. There are in the collection many white mice and rats, but Baughman is now devoting attention to raising the CiHECTELSPIL mmtm UIAHO.ND ItRANU PILLS, for Stt yeus known as Best, Safest, Always Reliabla SG1B BY DRUGGISTS EVERYVYHEfif Use Queen Ready Mixed PAINT, $1.75 per Gal.

more salable Japanese varieties which are marked in various combinations of color. He is at all times able to show nests swarming with tiny, sightless baby mice, which look more like pink worms than anything else. These in a few months grow into ful sized mice. A mother mouse usually has ten babies at a birth, and breeding is very rapid. As the mice eat but little and appear satisfied with all sorts of food, and as the percentage of deaths is very slight, the industry is a profitable one. Recently Baughman shipped 250 of the creatures to Baltimore, receiving $50 for them. Occasionally one or two of the mice escape, and it is regarded as probable

that even now the neighborhood is bei ing populated with an assortment of I rodents so strangely varigated as to I frighten some good housekeeper quite I out of her senses, should she come upon one of them unexpectedly in her cheese closet.
