KIKE'S PRAISE
GREAT LITTLE BAREBACK RIDEf
PROVES SENSATION OF ALL
EUROPE.
May Wirth, queen of bareback rid-
eis, who is to appear at the eiph'h
annual Oklahoma State Fair and Ex-
position, Oklahoma City, Sept. 22 to
Oct. 3, 1M14, is scoring a sensational
success in Europe at the present time.
According to all accounts, no one like
her has ever been seen in the South-
west, and a rare treat is in store
lor the thousands of State Fair vis-
itors this fall.
At the Ol.vmpia theatre, London,
where Miss Wirth was billed for
ten weeks, engagement, she performed
before the king and queen of England
and a party of court notables, win-

ning a special message of appreria
tion from them. Following this sig-
nal honor at the hands of European
royalty. Miss Wirth spent a month at
the Alhambra, the principal theatre in
Paris, and another month at the Palais
de Tait, Brussels. During the re-
mainder of tilt summer, Miss Wirth is
booked in England, from which coun-
try she is to return in time to appear
at the Oklahoma State Fair and Ex-
position lor twelve days and nights
this fall.
Some of the other big attractions
engaged by the State Fair include
Power's New York Hippodrome El
phants; Thaviu's Hand, cabaret trio,
tango team, operatic singers; world-
famous auto speed demons; Ed. K.
Huchinson's daring aeronauts; the
New Drundage Shows; Harness and
Running Races; the Southwest's big-
gest Horse Show and countless other
features. ~
Elater Fire-Fly.
Another remarkable insect found in
Mexico 1b the Elater fire-fly, which the
Indians hsg as miniature torches. The
men fasten them to their ankles in
going through the forest, and the wom-
en wear them In their hair under a
thin gauze veil. Tiny little cages are
constructed in which three or four are
kept for lighting purposes. The in-
sects congregate by the thousands in
many forest trees and, as if by pre-
concerted agreement, simultaneously
flash their lights, then darken them
and flash them again.
Stage Money.
It has been observed that stage
money must sometimes figure in the
salaries that stage performers receive.
In a breach of promise case, recently
tried at New York, it was shown that
an actress who was understood to be
receiving $1,000 a week, was actuallv
getting $300, out of which $80 was de-
ducted for booking and press agent
fees. Still, as the press agent was giv-
ing her a salary of $1,000, she could
hardly have begrudged the money she
paid him.—Springfield Republican.
First Coined Money.
To Lydia, the industrial power of
the ancient world, belongs the honor
of having issued the first coined
money. The earliest known coins
were stamped on one side with a lion's
head or the figure of a king with bow
and quiver. So far as we know the
first coinage of gold dates from King
Croesus of Lydia. It is impossible to
Bay just what form the earliest money
(medium of exchange) took. Probably
it was cattle—from which our word
pecuniary comes.
What Sherman Said About War.
1 confess without shame that I am
tired and sick of war. Its glory is all
moonshine. Even success the most
brilliant is over dead and mangled
bodies, the anguish and lamentations
of distant families appealing lo me
for missing sons, husbands and fa-
thers. It is only those who have not
heard a shot nor heard the shrieks
and groans of the wounded and lacer-
ated, that cry aloud for more blood,
more vengeance more desolution.
War ib hell.

W. Gregory, special assistant in
charge of the case, with a committee
of New Haven directors were in con
ference many hours. The committee
came to discuss the sale of the Bos-
ton and Maine stock owned by the
New Haven. It desired this sale to
be made free from conditions imposed
by the state of .Massachusetts, and is
said to have declared that an uncon-
ditoinal sale of the Boston and Maine
stock would insure a price of $10,000.-
000 above what the New Haven might
otherwise hope to get.
The New Haven case will be laid
before President Wilson and the cabi
net tomorrow and a detailed legisla-
tion of the department's long negofia
tions with the railgoad to untanlge
it out of court probably will follow.
It Is not doubted that the depart
ment's course will be approved.
There is little doube here that on
the heels of the suit will come an
effort to have a federal grand jury
in New Y'ork return indictments
against many directors of the New-
Haven who served in the day when it
was building up a system which, the
attorney general holds, is a combina
tion In restraint of trade. Doth the
fivil and criminal actions will be taken
under the Sherman law and the whole
case Is regarded by the department
as the most important undertaking in
this administration.
Never before has any administration
planned to prosecute criminally men
of such prominence in the financial
and business world, and the outcome
of thes procedings may determine the
value of the Sherman law as a crim
inal statute.

STRIKE HITSJJJLL PLAYERS
May Mean the End to Major Leagues
—President Ban Johnson Real Ruf-
fid, Says "Let 'Em Quit We'll Close
Up the Parks."
Cincinnati, July 21.—War between
baseball players and the magnates
that will tie up the two big leagues
is Imminent. The first shot was fired
by the disgruntled players here today.
Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri-
can league, says it's a fight to a fin-
ish, and the players say the same
thing.
An ultimatum from the players' fra-
ternity brought the row to a climax.
In a letter today to Chairman Herr-
mann of the national baseball com-
mission, the players declare they will I
not be bound by their contracts after
next Wednesday. Organized baseball
has violated an agreemnt that is in
all the contracts, they say.
Practically all the players in the two
major leagues belong to the baseball
players' fraternity; so if they strike.
It will mean an end to all big league
games for this season at least.
Johnson says the American league
will close all its parks and quit be-
fore giving in.
An unqualified ultimatum that all
members of the Baseball Players' fra-
ternity will no longer consider them-
selves under contract after July 22.

Herrmann of the National Baseball
commission late today.

Marble Windows.
Remarkably beautiful effects are se-
cured by the use of marble instead of
glass. This has been accomplished
by a new process which has been de-
vised by an engineer of Hamburg, W.
Engle. He has succeeded in making
plates of marble no more than three
millimetres in thickness and for the
use designated it is available up to
j 20 millimetres thick. The suitability
| of marble for this purpose was real-
ized some time ago, but the difficulty
encountered was that of securing the
marble In slabs of sufficient thinness.
These plates permit of the passage of
a greater amount of light than frosted
glass does, and at the same time im-
parts to the rays a much pleasanter
color. Most opal glass imparts to the
light an undesirable greenish tinge,
while the light which passes through
the marble has a reddish violet which
is much pleasanter. After the marble
has been ground down to the desired
thickness it is subjected to an immer-
sion in oil under high pressure, and
the effects secured In this manner are
said to be superior to those of stained
glass.
