VERY REMARKABLE Big Production to Be Shown Htrt "Will Attract Great Throngs to the City. When the Richmond Commrcial club presents the "Last Days of Pompeii, Richmond will have the opportunity of witnessing one of the moat wonderful and magnificent pyrotechnical displays and spectacular representations of that historic play ever presented in eastern Indiana. It is unquestionably the most expensive ajtd elaborate open air amusement in this country and will be given here August 1, 2 and 3. The production this season Is said to even surpass all previous presentations. The pyrotechnic features are triumphs of the flremakera art. tbe like of which has never been attempted by a traveling company. The representation of the frowning Mount Vesuvius towering above the mimic
city of palaces, buildings and arches,
and the hundreds of costumed per
formers, requires a gigantic stage of
almost five acres in space so that massive scenery and effects may be placed. Daring the unfolding of tbe tragical
historical episode many exciting
scenes are depicted. The production shows the people at their games and feasts, and a shifting kaleidoscopic view of the ancient city on the beautiful bay of Naples. Ia the midst of these festivities comes the tragic eruption of the volcanoVesuvius and the destruction of the city. It is a scene that must be observed with one's own eyes to be realised, as all descriptions fall short of its realistic effects. Amid the awe-inspiring eruption of Vesuvius and the cataclysm of lurid flames and lava, are mingled in the deep rolls of the earth and the clashings of the falling buildings. The volcanos pouring forth fire, lava , and smoke which can be seen and the uproar, heard for many miles, and is f uch a thrilling scene that it will live long in the minds of all who are fortunate enough to witness it.

wrote his own memoirs. I remembei picking up a dingy copy of them on an old bookstall in London, price six peace, and intended to make something of it Bat Dumas got ahead oi ma. He snaps up everything." A coincidence quite as remarkable occurred with Sir Con an Doyle for central figure. He learned while spendinj a holiday in a mountain inn in Switzerland that during the winter months for some reason two men remained is occupation. For four or ore month! they were isolated from the rest of the world- Suppose one of them went mad or committed suicide or The possi

IT WILL BE JUST THE SAME
No Matter Who Wins the Political Marathon, the MeatMan Will Have to Be Placated and Silk Stockings Remain as Rotten as Ever.
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. After all what difference does H make? No matter who's elected we go on paying bills just the same. Next day we look out of the window eee the sun shining, our neighbor cutting his grass with our lawn mower and Maria walking down the street in a 12.98 suit she bought at a sale. The milk-man drives up and delivers his usual quota of de-crearatnized product. And the ice-man drives right by without stopping. Evidently the ice-man is afflicted with astigmatism since he does not see our huge yellow card turned at the right angle to indicate that he may bring in one hundred pounds. If Wilson gets in you won't notice any great light breaking on the meatman by which porter-house steaks and short cuts will slide down toward the bottom of the percentage column. And your monthly statements from the department store will total up the usual incomprehensible figure. Surely there is some mistake about the silk stockings. By the way the stocking manufacturers must be minting money by the peck these days. To be sure it is the bright era when the plutocratic silk sock is now the Democratic pedal covering. For everybody wears 'em. Time was when the price of a pair of ordinary silk stockings was $1.50. Nowadays you can buy them for fifty cents. And so far as enduring qualities are concerned they run neck and neck. Two pairs bought on Saturday night were unwearable by Tuesday evening.

get a box of hair-pins bearing the fascinating legend "made in Germany" whose component parts were made ef material that withstood with fortitude the vicious rammings into hirsute masses which is the raison d' etre of a hairpin. The same box same in duplicate as to size and contents costing the same, now encloses a collection of objects masquerading under the nomenclature of "hairpins," but which evidently have been made over from tbe remnants of tin spoutings which drop carelessly into your yard the while the
brigand tinner repairs the ravages of
the elements upon your roofs. They bend like the famed sapling in the equally celebrated stiff breeze. Bryan, or Roosevelt, or Wilson or Tart or Debs or the representative of the godly Prohi wouldn't change it. Administrations come and go. The tariff blows hot and cold. The Sherman Act continues on its devastating way. When Taft goes out and Wilson in. or Taft goes out and Roosevelt in or anybody you will be paying just the same prices for butter and silk stockings as you did before, people will be just as mean and hateful, or nice and charming, or half one time and half another. You will be just as neatly skinned financially, socially, morally and every other way in the precise manner in which they were
Learned idiots excavating in Grecian isles recently informed the world that they had found pictures of women dressed almost identically as they are now. That along the main streets of these defunct cities once minced and posed the feminine fair, garbed in hobble skirts, extinguishing hats and, for all we anew, silk storings. The pendulum merely swings from one side to tbe other. When it reaches the extreme point of reach tt reverses and eventually hits the high spots on the other side of the arc. Again ft reverses. Some philosophers, while admitting this, say the swing is greater at each round. Others that the theory of the swing is vicious. That it eliminates all positive progress. That its basis is pagan, and takes no account of Christianity. That humanity at the extreme point of reach springs acrobatically, if sometimes futile ly, to the longer pendulum whose sweep is greater and by a graduated series of high jumps is reaching that pinnacle from which it will view the universe on an equality with God. Or what optimists call by that name. "I thought you were talking about silk stockings," growled the man at the next desk. "Yon always butt in when I'm talk
ing about ' "About what?" !'I was about to say thing yen dent understand but that would have been rude" "And possibly untrue!" sneered the man at the next desk. "Do you mean to say that you can define God?" asked the other person. "This isnt a theological discussion its a talk on the tariff and I " "It isn't a talk on the tariff." interrupted the other person "merely a few observations on WoodrowWilBon."

Hence his confidential conferences and back-slapping hospitality toward his former spectacularly discarded political affiliations. "Well?"
