THEATER IN CHINA Playhouse Is the Great National Amusement. English Writer Attends Performance and Tells of Hi* Experience With Celestlaia?Play Lasts Sev eral Days. Pekin, China.?The theater In China is the great national amuse ment, and the Chinese will attend a play that lasts for several days with out getting the least tired of it, says an English writer. Figure to yourself a huge, dingy barn crammed full of Chinese, mostly of the coolie class, the men all on one side and the women on the other; attendants go round selling saucers of fruit, melon seeds, sweetmeats and cups of green , unstewed tea. Up above is a huge gallery, also crammed *TT"WK ?ln. iinnn Her nf msn. women "Jl,U UCi upvu v*v? v . - - and children, smoking, easing and ges ticulating, but, as a rijle, perfectly well behaved. In the last respect they could give many of our own music hall audiences points, and they never applaud. Some have taken tjieir shoeB off and sit with their bare feet up on the edge in front of them, where also 1b placed the program (in Chinese and written from the bottom of the page up to the top), and the saucers of fruit and other "chow" purchased from the half-naked attendants. The odor from this unwashed mass of hu manity is appalling. As you push your way through the crowd to your reserved pew, because that is exactly what it is like, you 1 r\f tnmtnms anii the iietw luc ucanug vi strident squeak of fiddles completely out of tune, mingled with a sound as though all the fireirons In Christen dom were being thrown downstairs. This is the orchestra, and it plays throughout the performance; there is no escape from it, even for a moment, and the crash of cymbals and hang ings of gongs never give you one mo ment's respite. Through the dim, cloudy atmos phere you catch sight of what is hap pening on the stage. There Is no scenery, no drop curtain, no wings and no footlights. The actors make their entrance from doors at the back of ,the stage, one of which is to the left and the other on the right. No actresses appear. Although not actually forbidden, it is consid ered extremely bad form for .a woman to appear on the stage in China. All the women's parts have to be taken by men. and the impersonation is ?H*nintalTr norfA^t as tn denortment. HWBVtU 9VCJ pvTTWI UU gesture, dress and figure, and, above all, voice.

Some of the dresses are really gorgeous, and the make-up is particu larly good. In the first play we were shown a reproduction of a real Chi nese criminal court, in which, at any trial, In true Oriental fashion, they torture and punish the prisoner long before they decide whether or not he Is guilty, and in the second play two mighty warriors, twins and rivals for the same maiden's hand, fought a long and moRt realistic duel, first with dag gers, then with long swords, and eventually they indulged in a spirit ed wrestling match, quite acrobatic in its movements, until one poor fel low whirled madly in the air, turned a trick somersault and expired doing a cartwheel. It was really funny, but the audience took it all quite sericws ly. Many of the women broke down and wept at the woes the heroine had to go through, while to the European eye the whole thing was simply ludi crous. WILL BUILD ROAD TO PEAK Dr. F. ?.

The only exception is his personal bodyguard, an enormous Cos sack, who wears the uniform of his regiment. Everywhere the ambassa dor goes this strange figure may be A Picturesque Bodyguard. Been on the front seat of his motor car. The CoBsack. a member of one of the far-famed, light cavalry regiments which so faithfully guard the czar, is of a commanding build and with the high chapeau which goes with the uni form appears to be a giant. With his long wide skirted coat, high black boots, high chapeau and decorations, the Cossack presents the most strik ing appearance of any retainer ever brought to Washington by any for eign diplomat. Across his broad breast are rows of dangerous looking cart ridges and the revolver and dagger which are suspended in leather hol sters outside his coat look most busi nesslike. GOLD IS MINED BY QUAKES Volcanic Eruptions Often Open Vast Mineral Deposits in the Earth. Nome, Alaska.?"It's a poor earth quake that does nobody any good," Is the new and startling version of the old proverb. "It's an 111 wind that blows nvbody any good." The earthquake disturbances of Septemper and October in southwest ern Alaska have brought to the sur face scores of gold mines, which will add millions of dollars to the wealth of the people of the territory. The manner in which the earth quake operates to bring a potential .gold mine in sight is, says the Detroit Tree Press, as follows: "When the ,trembling motion of the earth's crust Ibecomes exceedingly violent it pro duces deep cracks in the surface. The learthquake, it is well known, rolls (over the surface of the earth in a cer tain direction, just as a wave rolls lover the surface of the ocean. The earthquake, however, is not working in a fluid medium, and its action upon ttie more stin: ana Drittie crust of the earth produces many kinds of fractures and rearrange ments of the superficial strata. One portion of a layer of rock is lifted up and placed upon another. What was once the surface of the earth is buried deep out of sight, and the rock that has been buried deep out of sight for ages is brought to light. That side of a crack in the earth from which the pressure is coming is very apt to be lifted up and pushed over the opposite side. In other cases the gold-bearing lode lies concealed under the surface soil of a hillside and the earthquake shakes away the gold, exposing the quartz. The gold-bearing lead in the newly fractured rock Is lifted up and expos ed a few feet above the ground. Tho miner has only to stretch forth his pick and strike the auriferous rock. Thus, through an intervention of tha benevolent earthquake, gold is discov ered which might never have been found, and, in any case, an expendi ture of many thousands of dollars in mining machinery is avoided.

Mil Uiilltli UlilUt After Paying for the Trousseau and a Divorce the Western Man Was Jilted. CALLED HIM A "JAY" i Farmer Even Was Willing to Take Mother-in-Law Along, but Kan sas Woman Changed Her Mind at the Last Moment. Columbus, Kan.?After he had paid all the expenses of her divorce from her first husband, purchased tickets for her and her mother to Holtvlile, Cal., where they were to be married, and agreed to allow her mother to live with them, Mra. Minnie May DeWitt quarreled with J. A. Ray and refused to marry" him. Instead, Mrs. DeWitt is said to be preparing now to marry a young man whom she met before she began a cor respondence with Ray, whose acquaint ance 6he had made through a matri monial paper. Ray has returned to his California home. He said he had no feeling against Mrs. DeWitt, even if she had changed her mind and called him a "jay." Mrs. DeWitt is a pretty little wom an eighteen years old. She "was mar ried three years ago, and about two years ago, after the birth of a daugh ter, she brought suit for divorce. Not having the money to pay the court costs, she allowed the case to rest on the docket. Meantime she had become acquainted, it is said, with a young man here, and they desired to marry," but neither had the money to pay the costs of divorce. One day Mrs. De Witt saw Ray's name in a matrimonial paper: She began a correspondence with him and learned that he was for ty-three years old and the owner of a fine irrigated farm near El Sentro. He wrote interesting letters and so did she. Photographs were exchanged and finally they arranged to marry. Ray Bent a generous check to Mrs. DeWitt -? X -^agl 1 They Quarreled. toward the expense of her wedding outfit and a few days later arrived to claim his bride. There was still the divoroe to be ob tained, however. Ray paid all the ex penses of Mrs. DeWitt's side of the case and sat In court during the hear ing. It had been planned to have the wedding here, but when Judge Sapp prohibited Mrs. DeWitt from marry ing again for six months that caused a change in the plans. A reception was given instead of the wedding, so the guests were not entirely disappointed. Preparations were made at once to start to Califor nia where the ceremony would be per formed. "But I couldn't think of going way out there and leaving mother at home alone," said Mra. DeWitt. "We'll take mother right along with us," replied Mr., Ray. A number of friends gathered at the house to \ wish the party a pleasant Journel. And then Mrs. DeWitt and Kay quarreled. Mrs. DeWitt 6ald Mr. Ray was a "jay," that she would not walk down street with him, let alone be married to him. Mr. Ray took the first train for California after having turned in the two tickets to Holtville which he had purchased for his prospective wife and motheiMn-law. Will Use Fortune for Roads. Wilmington, Del.?General T. Cole man du Pont, president of the du Pont Powder company and said to possess a fortune of $12,000,000 announces to day that he will give away all the sur plus of his vast fortune In building good roads.

OUTLAWS HAVE BEEN CAPTURED \FTER A BLOODY BATTLE THE DEPUTIES SUCCEED IN AR RESTING SIDNA ALLEN. WIFE KILLED BY OFFICERS A Great Surprise Was the Death of Miss Ayres, Wrio Was a Witness in the Allen Cace?Jail Being Carefully Guarded. Hillsville, Va.?Shortly after his ar- i rival here Judge Staples, who had been designated by Govenor Mann to take charge of theL court situation, summoned a special grand jury to in dict the murderers of Judge Thorn ton L. Massie, Commonwealth's At torney W. M. Foster and Sheriff L. S. Webb, who were killed by the Allen outlaws. This act had a wonderful ef fect in restoring public confidence. Warrants are already in the hands oi deputies for the arrest of the slayers, but the summoning of a grand jury has aided materially in allaying the in tense feeling. The circuit court of Carroll counts which was wiped out of existence was reorganized and the citizens witnessed its proceedings with the due and or derly execution of justice. The surprise of the day in Hills vills, was the death of Miss Nancj Elizabeth Ayres, a 19-year-old girl. Nc one in the town seemed to know thai she was wounded until her death was announced. When she left Hillsvfllc for her home, she did not know sh had been shot, but complained oi hruiaes which she thought she had re ceived in the mad rush from the courl room. Without a doubts Miss Ayres, who was a witness in the Allen case was shot accidentally. After escaping ffom the court room Floyd Allen was removed to the one hotel in the village where he was guarded by bis sou. Immediately up on their arrival detectives went to the hotel and arrested him . without trouble, but once he had been placed In the coijnty jail Allen tried to cut his throat with a small pen-knife. He was quickly seized by the guards whc took the weapon. The wound Is not serious. Victor Allen, Floyd/ Allen's son Cabel, Strickland and Byrd Mar ion were also arrested.
