THE RICHMOND PAIi LADIUM AND SUX-TELEGEAM, SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1912.

FORMER WIT OF CONGRESS WAS SPEAKER

J. Adam Bede, Excongressman, Convulsed a Large Audience at the Chautauqua Friday Evening. (Continued from Page One.) that we had done in the past half century, drunkeness would be unknown. Evolution, not revolution, is the medium through which all good must be accomplished was the theme of the speaker. That the high cost of living was the natural result of Improved conditions and wide-spread prosperity, was the declaration of Mr. Bede. "Is it not childish to demand civilization on the half shell and then complain of the high price of living?" he continued. That improved environment was a precursor pf certain inherited demands and qualities, that heredity was merely a condition induced by environment and that conscience was the creature of education, was the leading -statement of the speaker. That this nation, was, in short, able, ! always had been able, and always 'would be, to meet every problem which 'the natural concomitant of every ! phase of progress. The address was expositional of the highest type of that optimism which has the brotherhood of man as its inspiration and the practice of the Christian principles as its rule of conduct. Cambridge Players. This is an aggregation of entertainers a little out of the usual in that their darmatic "stunts" dominate and ;are given with a very distinct theatric .'eclat. Most excellent, from the latter standpoint, was the short sketch taken from Anne Warner's popular stories of Susan Clegg and Mrs. Lathrop in which Miss Martha Miller and Miss Margaret Granger appeared, both showing superior histronic talents and an appreciation of comedy effects not often seen on the Chautauqua platform. That the audience was appreciative was testified to by the shouts of laughter that punctuated the progress of the presentation. Mr. Coffer, who preceded them in an original sketch called "The Clarendale Banquet," in which he impersonated the various village characters who responded to toasts, was hilariously funny. It was as clever a skit as you could Bee in a more pretentious theatrical environment. Miss Pauline Harrison, the possessor of an agreeable high soprano voice, interested and charmed her audience with her presentation of certain Indian folk songs taken from the Omaha tribal melodies, which were elaborated upon and harmonized by the well known composer, Charles Wake Held Cadman, the first entitled, "The Land of the Sky-blue Water," the second, White Dawn Is Stealing," Miss Harrison Inter pretating their poetic sentiment and haunting minors with effect. In the afternoon a scene from Sheridan's "The Rivals," was presented, Miss Granger taking the part of Mrs. Malaprop, Mr. Coffer of Captain Absolute at the time he was masquerading as "Beverly," and Miss Miller impersonating "Lydia Languish,"' the three famous roles being given admirable characterization. Gunckle To Newsboys. A fifteen minute talk by John Gunckle to the twenty-two Palladium carriers who are camping this year at the Chautauqua through the courtesy of the managers of the Palladium, was one of the features of the evening. "Gunck" was given an enthusiastic reception by the boys who applauded his short address and laughed at his stories, s Mr. Gunckle described the great Newsboys' Building in Toledo, and ended with much valuable advice to the boys in the conduct of both their personal and business affairs. He invited them to write to him at Toledo. Later he had an individual, talk with each boy and he now has twenty-two bran-new friends. Mr. Kemper, advertising manager and Mr. Lehman, head of the circulation department of the Palladium, have the boys in charge. The latter stay at the Chautauqua except in the afternoon at the time they "pass papers. " The Sunday School.

WE ALL BELIEVE III IT

Although We Pretend to Scorn Visits to Clairvoyants and Shrug the Shoulder at Palm-Reading. Cheiro's Memoirs Just Out.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. There are celebrities and celebrities. And, after all, the great thing is to be a celebrity. Whether you are a breakfast food or a poet or a presidential candidate or a novelist or a murderer what boots it! You get your name in the headlines in exactly the same sized letters. There are, to be sure, various ways of becoming famous. A popular novelist of the day owes the beginning of his conspicuity to a clever hoax which involved the finding of a buried manuscript in an iron kettle, or something of the sort, in some remote spot. Later he explained it in the newspapers. By that time the papers were glad to have the explanation. It was a desperate expedient but succeeded. The man had gone the weary round Of the publishing offices. Manus ript after manuscript returned. Scanty substance going in postage. Meagre wherewithal to sustain life. Later these same rejected manuscripts were eagerly competed for by the identical publishers who had sent 'em back. Their artistic and literary value, or lack of value, remained the same. That's about as near as you get to it in the way of a genuine reward of merit. This reminds the writer of a story Paul Laurence Dwibar, the famous poet, once told her. On calling at the offices of the Century Magazine, in whose pages his poems had appeared, he was asked by the editor of that great publication if he would do them the very great favor of reciting for the employes of that institution if the latter were called together. Mr. Dunbar affably agreed. The audience came together. "I told them," said Mr. Dunbar, "that I would begin by reading several poems rejected by the Century Magazine before I was discovered!" And thus it is. How many people always knew it after you became famous. People who stood back to see which way the wind blew before they made any open declaration. You'll always find a lot of these telling out of towners oh, yes, knew him very well lived just round the corner families very intimate just run sociably in and out we were the first to recognize when others turned him down WE thus grandiloquently. Then they pull an autographed photograph out of their sleeveB and flourish it under the envious eyes of the out of town ones. It happened, to be sure, to be an old one of the celebrity which they had nabbed from the celebrity's environ, as is the pleasant habit of people with other's replicas on pasteboard, and, later, brought to the celebrity and held up for signature. There is a lot of this. It is recorded of Henry Irving that one day when, at request, he was autographing his own photograph and after writing "To my dear friend " he looked up and said, "let me see what is your name ?" Celebrities have many jdear friends scattered about in the offing. All this, however, is not exactly apropos, save, in a way, to calling attention to "Chiero's Memoirs," which is about to be issued through the Lippincott Company and which will no doubt interest a big public. For, say what you will, everybody at some stage in their various careers or development has, on the side, pried into the occult. Or what is so frequently mistakenly termed. You know yourself you have maneuvered round a dozen blocks in order to make an unobtrusive entrance into the side door of the clairvoyant who will tell you marvels for twenty-five cents. Cheiro wasn't, of course, a clairvoyant. He was a palmist, as everybody knows, and palmistry has its own science. It has as exact a system as Euclid. And a literature. And the pursuit of its study is enormously fascinating. The writer once dabbled in its surf. And can tell this strange thing. There is a certain sign, that, given the proper palmistic mise en scene, to speak in theatrical parlance, means that be in whose hand it is seen will die suddenly through an accident which will mutilate his head. Idly one evening, when a group of persons were "telling fortunes," the writer told this to a man of the party. For this sign was seen in the palm in its proper setting. No one thought of it, however, In one way or another, since the fortune telling was all In sport. A week later this man was killed in a railroad accident when driving, with some others, to a suburban town to attend a dance. And his head was mashed to a jelly. While there may or may not have been "anything in it" it nonetheless, so completely flabbergasted the amateur that she abjured further excursions into the unknown. Chiero was, perhaps, the most famous palmist ever before the public. There are others better kown for

their technique, if it can so be expressed, but who have, or had, a more limited clientele. But Chiero was known to the lettered and unlettered, the alleged wise and the uncou'. King Edward of England did not d.;Edain to consult this wizard of the palm, nor yet the great Gladstone. Oscar Wilde, Joseph Chamberlain and Henry M. Stanley, the latter the canny and hard-headed explorer, were also celebrated Englishmen of a varying type who were interviewed by Chiero. Accounts of all of these are given in his book. W. T. Stead, the famous English Journalist, author, publicist and controversallst, who went down on the Titanic last Spring when on his way to attend a great philanthropic conference in New York, which he was to address, was told by Chiero, the preceding summer, that he would be in an accident by water. This in reply to a statement by Mr. Stead to the effect that he had always feared accident by lire. "Not fire, but water," said Chiero In reply. While we all pooh, pooh, and say "There's nothing in it" still, way back in the northwest corner of our thinking apparatus we believe that there is. And why shouldn't there be? Certain signs, observers have found by experience, invariably indicate weather conditions. It's just as reasonable so far as actual rules of logic are concerned to believe that certain signs in a man's hand, say, are indicative of a certain class of events. As to reading character by the hand you can't discount that. Anybody on the block can tell you. Certain shaped hands mean certain character types. And even jurisprudence takes account of its value. For has it not recently become officially current in certain localities to identify a man by the marks made by an impression taken of his finger-tips? "Nothing in it?" There's apt to be something in everything. Except now and then. Like gossip.

MEET JS OPENED Rifle and Revolver Experts in Attendance.

(National News Association) SEA GIRT, N. J.i Aug. 24. Picked rifle and revolver shots of ability and wide reputation were on hand in force today for the opening of the annual interstate rifle tournament under the auspices of the National Rifle Association of America and the New Jersey Rifle Association. The tournament has attracted teams and individual marksmen representing all of the arms of the regular service and the military organizations of many states. Iowa, Texas, Illinois, Montana, Arizona and other western states are particularly well represented. The national match, under the auspices of the New Jersey Rifle Association, is the most important new contest this year. Other contests that will command the attention of the camp will be that for the $500 Wimble don Cup, presented to the National Rifle Association by the National Rifle Association of Great Britain; the president's match, for the military championship of the United States, and the Pea Girt championship, with which the tournament will end September 7, the winner of which will be presented with the Sea Girt championship medal by Governor Woodrow Wilson, who will attend the competitions. Sporting Gossip BASEBALL NOTES. President Ebbets hopes to open his new Brooklyn stadium when the Dodgers return home on Sept. 5. Pitcher Packard, of the Columbus team in the American association, has won 13 and lost three games this season. Shifting Harry Lord from third base to right field looks like a good move on the part of Manager Callahan of the White Sox. Teddy Kaylor, the Danville slugger, is leading the Three-I league in batting and will no doubt get a trial in faster company. The Texas league has produced a nifty pennant race this season, with Houston, San Antonio and Waco leading the bunch. Now they say that Marsans is jealous of Bob Bescher and is out to queer Bob's effort to head the National league base-stealers. Eddie Mensor, of the Pirates, has fallen down in his stick work recently and Mike Donlin has been placed in the Pittsburgh line-up once more. "Peaches" Graham, the former National league backstop, is doing scout duty in the Canadian league for Joe Kelly's Toronto team. The Athletics have been coming so fast of late that Boston and Washington fans get nervous every time they see a score board or pick up a newspaper. "Cozy" Dolan, who couldn't find his bearings while a member of the Highlanders, is playing a clever game with John Ganzel's Rochester team. The recent seventeen-inning tie game between Jacksonville and Macon establishes a record for extra-inning games in the South Atlantic league. Jack Millilay, formerly of the Boston Red Sox and at the present time twirling for Oakland, is the leading pitcher in the Pacific Coast league. Pitcher Jack Powell, has been in the big show a good many years, but is still able to fool the hitsmiths with his "Roll On Silvery Moon" delivery. Perhaps "Big Jeff" Tesreau will be the life saver of the Giants after all. When "Matty" and the "Rube" begin to wobble "Big Jeff" comes to the front and pitches like a Walter Johnson. WITH THE BOXERS. A San Francisco promoter is willing to book Jim Flynn for a go with ex-champion, Tommy Burns. Bob Fitzsimmons, Tom Sharkey and Peter Maher threaten to return to the ring and go after the "white hopes." Al Palzer says that if he is sidetracked by the New York promoters he will bring influence to bear to have the Johnson-Jeannette bout stopped. Packey McFarland and Ad Wolgast are now matched for a meeting Oct. 27, and boxing fans are hoping that the bout will take place on scheduled time in order that they can get a line on the two stars.

Cyril Scott has been engaged for the leading role in a new play by Jules Eckert Godman, entitled "The Point of View." The Lump Fish. Did you ever bear of the lump fish? WelL It's a peculiar species found in salt water. This strange fish possesses a sucker formed by two ventral fins, which are so shaped that when the fish reclines on a rock the fins act as suckers and hold it firmly. As soon as the eggs are deposited in shallow pits between stones, the female feeling that she has done her part, deserts them and the male at once assumes charge and guards the eggs until they hatch out and then the young until they are able to take care of themselves. In moving round he is closely followed by the numerous family which has given rise to the term hen and chickens." At times they attach themselves to the sides of their parent by their sucking disks, thus presenting a singular appearance. Elasticity of Conscience. In the majority ef cases conscience fs an elastic and very flexible article, which will bear a deal of stretching and adapt Itself to a great variety of circumstances. Some people, by prudent management and leaving it eft piece by piece, like a flannel waistcoat in warm weather, even contrive in time to dispense with it altogether. but there be others who can assume i the garment and throw it off at pleasure, and this, being the greatest and most convenient improvement is tbe one most in vogue.

On the Chautauqua Grounds) Good Order Prevails. Rowdriftm at the chautauoaa this I year Is noticeably lacking. Contrary to the expectations of the police at the grounds, there has been little or no; trouble with mischievous campers. Inj former years considerable trouble has! been experienced by the special po-l lice in maintaining quiet after 111 o'clock in the evening. , Before the opening of the Chautau qua of last year. Park Superintendent! Hollarn declared that if any one was! found drinking intoxicating liquors In! the grounds he would be arretted and prosecuted. Every effort wi made to enforce this order, given the, Chautauqua police, to the letter, and. there has been no instance which hast come to the attention of the police oft anyone violating" the order. LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.; If There Is No Bright Side Burnish Up) the Dark Side. 1 A gentleman remarked to us that the true theory of life was to get oa the admiration side and not on the cynical and objurgatory side of life. We believe that is sensible, says the Ohio State Journal. "Look on the bright side and if there Is no bright side bar1 nish up the dark site" is a little quota-i tion that we put in our notebook more than a score of years ago. It is good gospel. It is the doctrine of hope. Grumbling at everything is un-Chris-tian. It will condemn a man as sure as profanity or lying. The Bible says. "But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice." There is philosophy for this. A per son cannot do any good in a bad spirit If one hates a man be cannot reform him. Every good thing that a man does pulls some evil up by the roots Good deeds grow by smiles as the" wheat grows by the sunshine. Boost tbe good and the bad will have a pool chance. It is right to curb the evil If one does not waste all his strength at it, so thai he will have to sit down and lose heart There is no final defeat In an honest, sincere effort and that is the doctrine of the upward look and the bright side of life. SHOE ODDITIES. Two Pairs Are Sometimes Broken 14 Oblige Finicky Customers. When a one legged man buys a shoe the dealer sends to the factory for a shoe to match the one left remaining. In these days of tbe nse of machinery in every process of their manufacture shoes are made with tbe utmost exact ness and precision, and it Is easily possible to mate that remaining shoe with the greatest nicety In size, style, material and finish. Few people have feet exactly alike. Commonly the left foot Is larger than the right, so that one shoe may fit a little more snugly than the other. Com. monly, however, people buy shoes la regularly matched pairs, the difference in their feet. If it is noticeable to then at all. not being enough to make any other course desirable. But there are people who buj shoe of different sizes or widths, in which case the dealer breaks .two pairs for. them, giving them, to fit their feet, one shoe from each. In such eases the dealer matches up the two remaining shoes, one from each of two jalrs. Just as he would where he had broken one pair to sell one shoe to a one legged man. - Do not accustom yourself to consider debt only an inconvenience.. Toa will find it a calamity. Johnson.
