SELL PRISON TWINE TO FARMERS DIRECT Governor and Warden Will Try Method to Stimulate Demand.

(Palladium Special) INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 16. It lies with the farmers of Indiana whether the manufacturer of binder wire at the state prison shall he discontinued and they shall again be turned over to the tender mercies of the "harvester trust." Gov. Marshall and Warden Fogarty of the prison, in a final effort to simulate the demand for state twine, have decided to sell it direct to the farmers next year. If this does not result In creating a demand which will place the binder twine manufactory on a paying basis a recommendation will be made to the legislature that it bt discontinued. Warden Fogarty has submitted o the governor a report of the prison binder twine business since Its establishment In 1906, which shows it has been a losing venture. Counting the Interest on the state's original investment of $200,000 and the wages of the prisoners at 65 cents a day, the binder twine manufactory has lost $89,000 during the Ave years it has been In operation. Omitting the item of interest, the loss has been $37,000. Disregarding interest on the investment and the amount the state would have received for hiring out the labor of the prisoners employed, the state is just $2,500 ahead as a result of its binder twine business. Although the prison has lost money the binder twine manufactory has resulted In a saving of thousands to the farmers of Indiana. When the state entered the business binder twine was 'selling at 12 and 13 cents a pound. Today the farmer pays only about half that price. Warden Fogarty's plan is to sell twine to the farmers in carload lots at 64 cents a pound and in fifty-pound lots 6H cents a pound. These are the prices the dealers have been paying. By Joining together, the farmers of a community can purchase a carload of twine as cheaply as a retailer can buy It Trust Competition Keen. Prison made twine has had to meet the keenest kind of competition from the trust, which has resorted to all sorts of tactics to discredit prison made twine with the farmer. Agents have been sent into the wheat fields to try to demonstrate that the prison produce is Inferior. In spite of their efforts Warden Fogarty says the trust gents, have entirely failed to prove prison twine is not just as good as is manufactured anywhere. -Another advantage the trust has been able to gain Is in the matter of freight rates. The rate on twine is 12 Vs cents a hundred, while machinery goes at 7 cents a hundred. It has been the practice to load a car with 80,000 pounds of twine and 10,000 pounds of machinery and bill it all at the machinery rate. Largely because of the trust opposition the state prison was able to dispose of only 1,000,000 pounds of twine last year. It has a capacity of 3,000,000 a year, and unless the demand can be forced up to that figure the plant can not be maintained except at a loss. The labor now employed In the manufacture of twine can be let out on contracts at 65 cents a day for each man, and Warden Fogarty has reached the conclusion that unless the farmers come to the support of the industry the state cannot afford to continue It. He says it is certain that twine prices would go up as soon as the state discontinued its manufacture. When you have a bilious attack give Chamberlain's Tablets a trial. They are excellent.

A hundred years ago, according to a commentator, a "smooth faced man" was one who had not bad his face pitted by smallpox. It is Criminal to Neglect the Skin and Hair THINK of the suffering entailed by neglected skin troubles mental because of disfiguration, physical because of pain. Think of tho pleasure of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and good hair. These blessings, so essential to happiness and even success in life, are often only a matter of a little thoughtful care in the selection of effective remedial agents. Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment do so much for poor complexions, red, rough hands, and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost so little, that it is almost criminal not to use them. Although Cutieora Soap and Ointment are sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, a postal to "Cuticura," Dept. B, Boston, will secure a liberal sample of each, with 33-page booklet B eta aaa ooaip

News of the Theatrical World

"REBELLION" COMES BACK. ' After some weeks' waiting , Miss Gertrude Elliott wife of the great English actof Forbes- Roberson, again gets an openingin Chicago, and returned to the scene of her first triumph in Joseph Medill Patterson's "Rebellion," the Grand Opera House, on Monday night, December 4, for an unlimited engagement. A queer freak of the theatrical business forced the clever actress and her admirable play on the divorce question out of Chicago at the very height of a prosperous run; and the exigencies of booking for other attractions in the various Chicago theaters have until now prevented her from returning. She has, meanwhile, played immensely successful engagements in Minneapolis, St. Louis, and a series of six Illinois cities, and before coming into Chicago, will have appeared in Madison, Wis., Oshkosh, Wis., Fond du Lac, Wis., and Milwaukee, where she will spend the latter half of Thanksgiving week. BAYES AND NORWORTH TO STAR Nora Hayes and Jack Norworth, i whose "troubles" with "Little Miss ; Fix-It" are known to the public will ! again star in "The Auto-Cranks," a ' musical "gaiety" for which they are responsible both in book, lyrics and music. During the week of November 6th, Bayes and Norworth appeared in vaudeville at the Maryland theater, Raltimore. Their opposition at the Ihree high-priced theaters were Francis Starr in David Belasco's beautiful production of "The Case of Becky," j Cyril Scott, in a comedy entitled "A Gentleman of Leisure" and Lulu Glaser, in the comic opera "Miss Dudlesack." The percentage of the Maryland's gross receipts paid to Bayes and Norworth for their salary was more than the large operatic organization played to gross at a prominent $2.00 theater around the corner. THE PERCENTAGE OF SOUTHERN WOMEN ON THE STAGE IS INCREASING. "Recently while looking over the roster of my various companies," says Henry B. Harris, the well-konwn theatrical manager, "I was surprised to see what a large percentage of Southern women have gone on the stage in the last few years. I remember in my early days in the theatrical business, it was a rare thing to find a Southern girl on the stage. Of course, here and there, were isolated cases, as in the past, there have been women stars who came from the South; but, as a general thing, young Southern girls are more inclined to stay at home. "The South has -always liberally patronized the theater, and has shown a tolerant spirit towards the stage. Still, they have been averse to their daughters taking up a theatrical career." VICTOR HERBERT FOLLOWS WAGNER. Victor Herbert says that he has followed the Wagnerian method in his composition of "The Enchantress," the new opera in which Kitty Gordon is now appearing.

Some Gossip Gathered From The Gay American Metropolis

NEW YORK, Dec. 16. The steamer General Slocum, 1,028 of whose passengers lost their lives when the old excursion steamer took fire in the East river on June 15, 1904, has at last found a permanent resting place on the bottom of the sea. After the fire the hull of the steamer was purchased by a man named Peter Hagan. The steamer was reconstructed into a barge and given the name Maryland. It was used after that in carrying big loads of coal, coke and other merchandise between different points on the New York and New Jersey shores. The old boat seemed pursued by illluck and many times it came near going to the bottom. On its last trip it was to carry a cargo o coke from Camden to Newark, N. J. It was in tow of a tug, but sprang a leak during a storm and sank in twenty four feet of water. Some time ago Dr. Gaetano Samarelli, an Italian physician of this city applied to the courts for the annulment of his marriage on the ground that his wife refused to hug and kiss him even on their honeymoon and persisted in treating him with utter frigidity. He had been in hopes that the threat involved in this petition to the courts would soften the heart of his wife, but it did not. She remained as coW as ever and would have nothing to do with him. Then the doctor planned to leave New York, believing that under the existing conditions a separation would be the best thing. But. although his wife apparently had no use for him, she seriously objected to his leaving her and she obtained from the supreme court an order for the arrest of her husband to prevent him from leaving the state. The doctor recently withdrew his petition for the annulment of his marriage and his wife has now begun a suit for separation on the ground of abandonment. A short time ago Mrs. Henry Vaughan. a wealthy resident of Orange. N. J., lost a pear necklace valued at $5000 while on her way to New York city. She advertised her loss in the papers and offered a reward of $1000 for the return of the pearls, but no answer was received. She also notified the police and a detective was sent out to Investigate the case. A few days ago the necklace, minus a few of the smaller pearls, was recovered. It seems that an Italian railroad laborer, living in Orange, fonnd the necklace, the chain of which was broken, alongside - the railroad track, -about

"For the principal theme," says Victor Herbert, "I use a left-motif, which recurs as the story develops and figures prominently in the finale. No matter how tenuous the theme, every light opera must have a back-bone, otherwise it is an interminate thing, which never arrives at a consistent or convincing climax. As the plot is to the libretto, so the left motif is to the score, binding the whole composition into a musical whole. Having once settled the form of the score, the composer must study the sequence of the numbers, their sentiment and subsequent development. "The composition of a light opera is no more beneath the dignity of a scholarly musician than comedy is beneath that of a dramataist who can write tragedy."

A MUSICAL RECIPE. Ralph Herz has this quaint recipe for a success in musical comedy: "If you can keep people from thinking about what they are laughing about you will make any musical comedy, or farce. A musical comedy audience does not go to the theater to think, and they appreciate anyone who keeps them from even unconsclouly using their minds." A BRICKLAYING TENOR. Among the six new tenors that Jos. M. Gaites has added to "The Enchantress" company is Paul Rafferty, in whom Mr. Gaites believes that he has found a voice of quite an unusual quality as McCormack's. Mr. Gaites has placed him under a five years' contract, and is having his voice carefully cultivated under the best teachers in the city. Until recently Rafferty was a bricklayer in Mobile, Alabama, and when he was not busy with the trowel, sang in the local churches and at private entertainments. Recently Jake Tannenbaum, the well-known Mobile manager and former impressario for comic opera companies, heard him and immediately sent him north to Mr. Gaites for a trial. Victor Herbert, author of "The Enchantress," was so impressed, with the range and strength of his voice that Mr. Gates placed him immediately under contract. PHENOMENAL RUN. The 100th performance or "Louisiana Lou," the phenomenal musical play now at the La Salle opera house, Chicago, took place on Saturday afternoon, November 11th, seats now selling into February. "Louisiana Lou" is the first musical comedy or dramatic show in New York or Chicago this year to pass its 100th performance and as it will remain at the La Salle the entire winter, it will pass the 200m and 300 performance mile stones before any other play, even supposing that there are others which w,ill have runs of that length. Mr. C. F. Zittell, dramatic critic of the New York Evening Journal, witnessed the performance last Thursday afternoon and at its conclusion said to Mr. Harry Askin, managing-director of the La Salle opera house, that "Louisiana Lou" in his opinion, was absolutely in a class by itself. a hundred yards from the station at Orange. He did not attach much value to the necklace and when he came home he gave the pearls to his wife, who carelessly put them in the pocket of her kitchen apron, wj:h the remark that she could buy much nicer pearls at the five-and-ten-cent .store. She forgot all about the pearls and only remembered them when the detective asked her about the baubles. It seems to be exceedinly hard for women of the stage to give up the glamour of the lime-light and to . retire into the obscurity of private life. When an actress or singer has outlived her usefulness as a stage attraction or has abandoned her stage career in exchange for the wealth and social position offered to her by some infatuated millionaire, she rarely is satisfied with her lot. She craves publicity and the lime light and will continue to seek both in any manner which appeals to her. Many" of these women seek to attract attention by doing unconventional things, other become involved in scandals and still others write books, or contribute to the columns of the yellow press. Mrs. William E. Corey, the famous singer known as Mabelle Gilman, who became the wife of the former steel trust president, is the latest to join the ranks of the former stage celebrities who resorted to literature as a means of keeping their name before the public. Mrs. Corey, who spends most of her time in Paris and was at one time reported as contemplating the opening of a new opera house in that city, returned to New York the otoher day and "confidentially" informed the newspaper reporters who called on her "en masse," that she intended to write a book of advice to young women who propose taking up a dramatic or operatic career. No doubt, Mrs. Corey could make the Pilos ! Piloa! Pi loo! Williams' Indian Pile Ointment will cure Blind. Bleeding and ltchins Piles.

CASCARETS INSURE INSIDE CLEANLINESS

The millions of Cascaret users never have Headache, Constipation, Biliousness or Sick Stomach. It is more necessary that you keep your Bowels, Liver and Stomach clean,, pure and fresh than it is to keep the sewers and drainage of a large city' free from obstruction. Are you keeping clean inside with Cascarets or merely forcing a passageway every few days with salts, cathartic pills or castor oil? This is important. Cascarets immediately cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour, undigested and fermenting food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system the decomposed waste matter and poison in the intestines and bowels. No odds how badly and upset you feel, a Cascaret tonight will straighten you out by morning. They work wnile you sleep. A 10-cent box from your druggist will keep your entire family feeling good for months. Don't forget the children their little insides need a good, gentle cleansing too. book interesting enough should she choose to do so. Arrangements to build a theater to be devoted exclusively to negro plays and negro patronage have been made by a firm called the Johnson Amusement company, composed of several of the more important of the city's negro residents. Thomas Johnson, an employe of Klaw and Erlanger is president of the corporation named after him. It is planned to build the theater at 138th street, between Fifth and Lennox avenue. The cost will be about $165,000. Part of the building which will be on a plot of about 100 feet frontage, will be devoted to lodge and club rooms for negro organizations. The restoration of free transfers at 151 points in Manhattan and the Bronx was ordered formally the other day by the public service commission. This order of the commission is based upon statistics which conclusively show that the abolition of the transfers has materially reduced the earnings of the streetcar lines involved. It appears from the figures that approximately 15,000,000 persons who would have paid five-cent fares had they been allowed to transfer, preferred walking to paying double fare. It is expected that the street care companies will refuse to obey the order of the public service commission and will allow the matter to be taken into court. William W. Pike, assistant cashier in one of the banks of this city, undoubtedly has his share of troubles. About nine years ago he married the daughter of a wealthy society woman in Manhattan. His marriage was in many respects a failure, but serious domestic quarrels were avoided with great diplomatic skill. His wife's mother was, indignant that her daughter was compelled to live in Bayside, far from the club life and the social whirl of gay Manhattan and Mrs. Pike was easily persuaded that her lot was indeed deplorable. As a rule she spent a great deal of her time with her mother, leaving her husband to shift for himself. About a week ago she went on another of her periodic visits to her mother. A few days ago, when Pike returned to his desolate home he found that his entire household furniture had been removed by his wife to be taken to some place in Manhattan. He tried to prevent the mover to take the things away, but as the man had an order from Mrs. Pike the court refused to interfere. A Question of Titles.

FLY NUISANCE AND ABOLlTIOnjJF PEST Subject Discussed Today Before American Civic Association.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. The "fly nuisance and its abolition" formed the '.topic of Edward Hatch, Jr., of New York, in his remarks before the session of the American Civic association convention. Mr. Hatch, who is chairman of the fly-fighting committee of the association, presented the report of the committee, and he declared that the past year, since the last annual meeting in Washington, has been pre-eminently successful. "When the chairman of this committee, a few years ago, before the committee itself had been formed, began to acquaint the general public with the danger of the fly pest," said Mr. Hatch, "his efforts excited more humorous coment than serious attention. All that is changed now, and a good part of the change has been wrought within the past twelve months. Advice Being Asked. "Since the last annual conference on the fly pest, letters have poured in upon the committee from all quarters of the country, asking for advice on the best methods of exterminating the house-fly. The pieces of "literature,' which served as ammunition in innumerable fly-swatting campaigns. In a number of cities, school children competed for cash prizes for compositions which would best describe the fly's vicious career. In many cities newspapers organized "Swat the Fly" contests for considerable cash prizes. The numbers scored by the winners ran into the thousands of thousands, and the count, (so many flies to the quart) in Baltimore alone reached 15,000,000. Washington boys and girls caught and killed only 6,386,600, but Washington can't boast of a really bumper crop of flies. The moving picture men have been among our Lbest allies, for nearly all of them have shown the "Fly Pest" film. "With a view of summing up the season's work taking a fly census as it were the committee recently wrote to the Health commissioners of the different states. From the replies, it appears Kansas is in the van 6f the flyfighting army. The Indiana Board of Health distributed the text of the anti-fly ordinance and twelve cities I and fourteen towns adopted it. Dakota ' reported- a marked decrease in the ; fly population. Much ingenuity has I been shown by some of the state boards in designing anti-fly posters." In summing up, Mr. Hatch said: "The committee is well pleased with the results secured, but it realizes the fact that the war against the fly is to be a long one not to be victorious- ; ly closed in one sensational cam- ! paign. 'Swat the Fly' campaigns help, but what we need most is to arouse such a consciousness of our duty to oudselves and to others, that we will first swat our own flies by depriving Cleanses the System effectually; Dispels colds and Headaches; due to constipation.

The Modern Practice. The younger Pliny tells us that the Roman lawyer. Regulus. had a habit of painting round his right eye if he was counsel for the plaintiff, his left eye If he was for the defendant. In our times if a lawyer is painted around his right eye it means that a witness on the other side has met him since court adjourned. If both eyes are blacked It signifies that he saluted him twice instead of once. That's all. Los Angeles Express. FRECKLED GIRLS FRECKLES, TAN AND BROWN MOTH reign supreme here.

Very Annoying Indeed It Was Before They Were Numbered. People who nowadays book: their seats beforehand for the play cannot conceive of the discomfort of other days, an Instance of which is giTen by John Fyrie in "Comedy Queens of the Georgian Era. "One of Charles Matthews' newspaper cuttings, he says, "contains a letter from a disgusted playgoer dated January, 1776. protesting against this custom of permitting a footman to sit for an act or two of a play neat to a woman of the first quality by way of securing a place for his absent master.' "The indecency of the practice Is said to be aggravated by the usual choice of the dirtiest servant of the family for this duty, for the men of parade and figure are to prance before the lady's chair with lighted flambeaux or hang like a rope of ouious behind her coach.' "As a remedy for this nuisance the writer of this letter made the revolutionary suggestion that the sittings in the boxes should be numbered, a plan which does not seem to have occurred to any one previously and which was not adopted till long afterward."
