It was executed at the Palace hotel during the closing hours of the Mardl Gras celebration. Mrs. Eugene De Sabla, of L'l Gerrlto, a leader of the exclusive penir.sula social set and tho wife cf one of flan Francisco's best knoTOi capitalists, was the Tictlm of the robbery. Diamonds and pearls valued by Mrs. De Sabla at $76,000. were taken from her apartments on the seventh floor of the Palace hotel. Scores of private and poMce .letectires, co-operating with the Palaco hotel management, have failed, after a whole day of concentrated effort, to find the least trace of the jewels or to gain even a conjectural around aa to the Identity of the clever and resourceful thieves who accopmlished the robbery. Mr. De Sabla and his wife and nelr daughter, Vera De Sabla, accompanied by Clem Tobin and Mrs. Tobin, who also is a daughter of De Sabla, arrived at the Palace last Tuesday afternoon from ET Gerrlto and engaged apartments. Mrs. Pe Sabla and her husband were assigned to rooms on the seventh floor of the hotel and they used the rooms In preparing for the ball.

had already won recognition by "The Light Eternal," a serious drama, when he undertook the task of producing a play which would enable Richard J. Jofo the famous contra tenor, to display the manifold talents for which he Is remarkable. That the young Califomian has been successful in this undertaking was conclusively proved in 8 11 the cities where "Silver Threads" has been presented and will no doubt meet with the approval of the patrons of the Oennett theater on next Friday night when "Silver Threads" will be produced for the first time in this city. "The Beauty Spot." Described as an April shower of songs and girls, "The Beauty Spot," v ith Frank Deshon (last seen here as the star in "Miss Bob White" and "The Office Boy") in the leading role, will b; the attraction at the Oennett tonight. It Is claimed that "The Beauty Spot," by De Koven and Herbert, is far above the- ordinary musical attraction in star, authorship, management and equipment. That the range of its many musical numbers is remarkable and displays not only the natural versatility of the composer, but the ardor with which he has applied himself to the etudy of detail and musical effect. And that there are many ingenious little adornments, as "When Cupid Comes a Tapping." "Creole Days" and "In a Hammock," and in the drilling of the I chorus in which several chariots are introduced. . Murray. There is a movement on foot to baffle the Sharrocks tonight at the Murray theater. Several attempts have Ken made during the early part of the week to bewilder the two mind readerr but the scheme proved a failure. Those however, who are making plans to catch the Sharrocks tonight claim that their escape is absolutely impossible. The Sharrocks have been playing the Murray this week in their most extraordinary and bewildering act, that of mind reading or mental transference of tought. The act is the most bnffling known to the vaudeville stage, and all sorts of conjectures are made hb to how the trick is accomplished. Only a small part of the audience believes in the actual transference of thought. The majority holds that the readers have worked up an elaborate tystem of signs by the means of which the professed mind readers are enabled to communicate with each other almost instantaneously. The audiences are convinced beyond even a, bbadow of a doubt that there is no way for a blindfolded person to see, as In addition to being blindfolded she also nap her back turned to the audience. For speed it is safe to say, without the slightest exaggeration that the Sharrocks excel all previous performers in the line. No matter what is thrust before them, the replies are instantaneous and their system of signs if they depend upon such, work with lightning speed. Next week Josephine Saxon and her Dixie Kids will hold down the headline position in the rollicking songs and d.-nces. "Naughty Marietta." Oscar Hammerstein will present Mile. Florence Webber in "Naughty Marietta" at the Gennett theater Tuesday night. The music of which is by Victor Herbert and the book by Rida Johnson Young. Tbe action of the opera is laid in New Orleans in the year 1780. The chorus and augmented orchestra which brings out the beauties of the score are from the Manhattan C.iera House. New York.

.px t. ra. Oi4 Notes
Don't forget to come up to the" meeting tonight. Several important matters of interest will come up for discussion. The proposed increase in the secretary's salary will be presented to the meeting. The report of the nominating committees will be made, also other matters of more or less importance will be brought to the attention of the members. Be present and take part in the discussions. Riding a Texas steer with horns lour feet long for eight long rough miles over the plains of Texas is going some. So thinks Wm. Kramer, as our genial secretary and treasurer relates his early experiences, when a boy on the western frontier before the war. 'I bis kind of an experience belongs to the "bron. ho busting" performers. Oh! that secretary of ours "has went some" in his palmy days. With train schedules "shot all to pieces," interurbans twenty-four hours iate and country roads banked high with the "beautiful" the hoys have had a hard time getting -anywhere this week. However, the average traveling i desman don't quit at small matters of this kind. They get there just the tame and obstacles that would put to bod the average stap at home don't make the traveling man bat an eye. Ciood orders and plenty of them was the general verdict despite the troubles The members of Post C. certainly appreciate the beautiful set of horns tastefully decorated wit h the post emblem, presented this week by Mr. and Mrs. Chas. O. Tooker. They are certainly beauties and Mr. and Mrs. Tooker have the thanks of all their friends In the post which takes in all the four hundred members. Jas. A- Murphy of Indianapolis, one of the founders of Post C, was at headquarters last week. Perry Becker and Harry Wooters have established a reputation at Camot n, O., as headline entertainers so we u.re informed. A belated Cincinnati train full of passengers stopping over a half day at this thriving village waiting for the snow to melt, was the opportunity for the display of these talented "Knights of the Grip." Thanks to Mrs. C. V. Patterson and daughter, Miss Chipman, for the information relative to these entertainments. M. E. Shreeve went to Indianapolis today to tell the "boss" bow deep the snow has been in Eastern Indiana and why axle grease and "tater smashers" bold slow this week. Post C. would appreciate very much a few photographs of Wallace Simmons in action on the farm. They "ould surely be worth while, and be given a prominent place in the rooms. It is reported that Wallie is growing chir. whiskers and chews scrap with the oldest settlers, besides telling some whoppers "as he sets around the stove of the village grocery, while he .its the spittoon "kerplunk" ten feet away. Word comes that he is going to butcher next week. As he is not much cf an expert with a gun be will probrbly chloroform tbe pigs. What he will do with them after they pass away we do not know, but hope the funeral will be properly conducted. Come up to the meeting tonight. President Harrington would appreciate a lull attendance. As soon as the effect of the ground hog wears off the chairman of our membership committee is going to get busy. We need some new members to ketp up. our normal percentage of Fain. GARFIELD NOTES The end of the second week at Garfield finds the school all well in shape for the work of the term.

During the severu weather of the past weeks the school lunch room has been very popular with pupils who ! live some distance away and do not ! wish to be limited to a cold dinner. ! Prom 75 to 100 are served every day, some taking a part and some all their lunch. The work is so systematized that the entire number are served within ten minutes after the signal rings for dismissal of classes. Elections for school council were held this week.

THE ONLY ONE BATTERY NEEDED Cleveland Man Finds Small Rectifier Permits Charging at Home It Is Small and Neat. A Cleveland business man charges his battery for his gasoline car at home. This battery is used for the lighting of the machine, as well as for emergency ignition purposes. Two years ago he was forced to buy two batteries, for the reason that it was necessary to take one to a charging plant to have it charged. The current in his home was alternating, and direct current was necessary to charge the battery. When one was being charged, tbe other was in use on his car. Now this charging Is done at his home and at night when the car is Small Current Rectifier. not In use. And be only needs one battery. This Is accomplished by the alternating current rectifier shown in the Illustration. This rectifier is connected to a lamp socket in the garage, the battery connected to it. and the current turned on.

Vapor Treatment
FOR CATARRH, COLDS. COUGHS, SORE THROAT AND BRONCHITIS. Everybody knows that breathing HYOMEI a few timet a day through tne little hard rubber pocket inhaler will in a short time drive out catarrh. Many people regularly use the vapor treatment at night in conjunction with the Inhaler, claiming that it hastens ! results. j This is the vapor treatment: Into a I bowl three quarters full of boiling wa ter pour a scant teaspoonful of HYOMEI, cover head and bowl with towel and breathe for five minutes the soothing, healing, antiseptic HYOMEI vapor. Try it when using HYOMEI for any nose or throat ailment. J HYOMEI is guaranteed by Leo. H. Fihe to put an end to catarrh, or money back. A bottle of HYOMEI costs 50 cents; a complete outfit, which include- inhaler. $1.00. they "are charged ana reaay tor mice In the morning. This type of rectifier is only made for charging small batteries. It is small and neat, will' not easily get out of order, and will eliminate the necessity of having an additional battery. BEST LIGHT FOR THE EYES Principle of "Concealed Lighting" Rapidly Gaining in Popularity Its Redeeming Features. The principle of "concealed lighting" is rapidly gaining way, and In England it is predicted that within a few years It will be almost universally put Into practice. It is pointed out that the system of putting the sources of light in plain view is . wasteful because the dazzled eye demands a greater flooding of the air with diffused illumination in order to see clearly. When the light source is concealed, a far less intense illumination is required. In the reading-room of the British Museum the artificial illumination is only seven one-thousandth of daylight, at the Woolsack in 'the house of lords only six one-thousandths, and at the clerk's desk in the house of commons only one twelvehundredth; yet in all these cases the amount of illumination is satisfactory, because there is no "stabbing" light from visible sources.
