Show TRUTH. (Wang, is meeting with such great fuccess throughout the West and Northwest that the comedians man igers have decided to have him continue in it the rest of the season and have abandoned the idea of making any new production for him until next September. At that time he will be seen in the new opera which Reginald de Koven has written for him and which will be put on in New York. Since her return from. Europe Mme. Nordica has been reveling in rusticity near Ossining, where she has leased a secluded cottage built in the style known as Victorian Gothic, and preparing for her now fast approaching first appearance at the Metropolitan opera house in Parsifal. What leisure she has had in the intervals between her heme rehearsals of the part of Kundry she has devoted largely to long drives through the surrounding woods and lanes in her motor car. rum Per- - ' Mty of the Hot and u 1 on; bar e; anc- - reen and the lere Joe, yed all ilch rde. o Actors Marked Suspicious. Raymond Hitchock was very proud of being an actor in the days when he was younger in years and likewise in experience. And consequently he had his backsets. On one occasion he met the proprietor of a hotel in a small Connecticut town who had his opinion of the genius actor.

Cincinnati Commercial Tri,- o When Senator Hoar Joked. As a wit. Senator Hoar had few superiors, though he believed the floor of the senate not the place to display it One of the occasions when he violated this rule was during a speech by William V. Allen of Ne- braska, who made a record of talking for ten solid hours. Toward the end of a long speech Tillman of South Carolina interrupted Senator Allen with a correction. He said that Allen were pronounced ad infinitum as Allen contended ad inflnny-tum- . that that was the proper way and appealed to Mr. Hoar as an authority. The latter, of course, supported Tillman. But, he said, I suppose the senator from Nebraska gave the short sound to the T in order to save the time of the senate. if-i- t o Paid High Price for Stamps. A London philatelist, envying some curious specimens in the album of an Priest Apparently Lifted a Jug ef Water with a Feqther. 'The most startling feat I ever saw said a guest at the Dillqr last night, who has made a study of Indians In various parts of the United States for his own edification, was performed, by the priests of the Zuni tribe in or, as they were called. The Ancients of Creation. They seat them-- , selves in a circle on the clay floor, around a Jar that will bold perhaps a gallon, an ancient and sacred earthen vessel, which is filled with water. The chief priest carries in his hand two ordinary eagle feathers, whleh aro tied together at the quill ends so that they make a fork. Behind die circle of the priests are other members of the tribe and the musicians with their drums and gourds, who join in the chants with emotion. The incantations continue for several hours and when the participants and spectators are brought up to a proper pitch of excitement the priest dips the feather .tips into the water, lifts the jar with them and holds it suspended for a minute or two at a height level with his face or breast Then he lowers it slowly to the ground. This feat is repeated several times during the perfomance. Apparently there is nothing in the hand of the priest but the feathers and they appear to be inserted into the mouth of the jar only two or three Inches.
