THEATER IN CHINA

English Writer Attends Performance

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

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

strident squeak of fiddles completely
out of tune, mingled with a sound as
though all the fireirons In Christen

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

by men. and the impersonation is

t wais lucky In seeing two distinct
plays with a fresh set of actors in
each. 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.

COSSACK GUARDS NEW ENVOY
George Bakmetieff, the New Russian
Ambassador, Is Accompanied by
Picturesque Bodyguard:
"When the new Russian ambassador,
George Bakmetieff, came to Washing
ton a few months ago, he brought with
him a retinue of Rusian servants, but
all dress as do other people here and
In Russia. 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.
Big Price for Arm.
Pendleton, Ore.?Attorney Dan P.
Smythe, president of the Commercial
association and secretary of the Ore
gon Wool Growers' association, is in
Portland to prosecute a damage suit
against the Northern Pacific com
pany for $60,000. While accompany
ing a train load of sheep to Tacoma
eighteen months ago he received In
juries which resulted In the loss of an
arm and caused him to spend several
months in the hospital.
"Rag-Time" Religion.

Man Was Jilted.

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

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.

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. Delaware and adjoining
states will be the beneficiaries. "One
million dollars will keep a family
well," he declared. "By an expendi
ture of the balance of my possessions
I can do a great good."

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.
The Free Sugar Bill is Passed.

sugar Bill passed the House 198 to 103.
Its passage waB helped by twenty-four
Republican votes, although this was
offset by the defection of seven Demo
cratic votes against the bill by mem
bers from Louisiana and Colorado,
At the last moment Representative
Martin of Colorado blocked an attempt
to fix plans for. sonsideration of the
excise tax bill, which through taxation
of income is expected to make up the
revenue lost by the free sugar mea&
ure.
Have Appealed^-'For Protection.
Mexico City, Mex.?Ambassador
Wilson received an appeal for protec
tion from /.mericans in Tampico, who
are in danger of violence at the hands
of a mob which has already attacked
the office of the Tampico Navigation
Company.
Eugene Grace Gradually Sinking.
Atlanta, Ga.?Eugene H. Grace is
slightly weaker according to reports
from the?hospital. He maintains his
cheerful, attitude, however. More of
his relatives have come to be at his
bedside. Mrs. Grace, from her quar
ters in the city tower, continues to in
quire frequently of his condition. Shfc
has not seen him since her re-arrest
and detention in jail.

tering poison, while nursing her.
Dr. Wiley Offers Resignation.
Washington.?Dr. Harvey W. Wiley,
chief of the Unitfed States bureau of
chemistry, resigned. He announced
he would devote the remainder of his
life to urging the creation of a na
tional health department entirely sep
arate from any other branch of the
government service. The resignation
has become effective. Dr. Wiley said
he had a ntnpber of offers under con
sideration. One is from a lecture bu
reau and these are of an educational
and commercial nature. He declared
that he would not enter business.
Anothed Deadlock In Coal Strike.
^London?Another deadlock has been
reached in negotiations for a settle
ment of the coal strike that is paralyz
ing industry throughout the United
Kingdom, but Premeier Asquith is
strenuously endeavoring to bring the
operators and miners together. Rep
resentatives of both the miners and
the mine owners were at the foreign
office but did not meet in conference.
Premier Asquith^ consulted with the
miners, but at the last report nothing
hud been accomplished in thhe way of
a compromise.
Explanation of Phenomena.
Washington?An explanation of the
mysterious emission of steam and hot
passes from the crevises in the famous
Culebra cut. which gave rise to a re
nnrt that ft volcano existed under
the Panama canal zone is given by
The Cannl Record just received from
Panama. It is declared that he phe
