LAIRD PAGD
A wedding of Interest to Phlladelphtans
and residents on the Main Line took place
at Fairfax, Va., today when Miss Matilda
Coleman Page, daughter of the Rev. Dr.
Frank rage and Mrs. Page, and niece of
Mr. Thomas Nelson Page, became the brldj
of Dr. Joseph Packard Laird, of Devon, Pa.
The ceremony took place In the Zlon P. E.
Church, at Fairfax, Va., which was beau
tifully decorated with palms and white
flowers. The bride, who wore a gown of
white satin and tulle and carried a bouquet
of white roses and lilies of the valley, was
given In marriage by her brother, Mr. John
Page.
Miss Letty Woods, of Charlottesville, W.
Va., was maid of honor, and wore a frock
of white lace and cloth of silver and car
ried a bouquet of pink roses.
Tho bridesmaids. Miss Susie Whitehead.
Salisbury, Md. ; Miss Annie Page, Oakland,
Va.; Miss Mary Laird, Wilmington, Del.,
and Miss Katharine Packard, of Baltimore,
were all frocked alike In pale pink silk,
trimmed with stiver lace and lace hats.
They carried arm bouquets of pink chrysan
themums. The best man was Mr. Walter J. Laird,
brother of the bridegroom, and the ushers
were Mr, Philip V, Laird. Mr. William
Winder Laird. Dr. W. Winder Golds
hnrauih. of Maryland! Colonel Robert H.
Le of Virginia J Dr- J. Woods Price, of
Managing Director nablnoft, of tho Bos
ton Company, U a very silly man. At least
that Is what part the greater part of
Philadelphia, with Its own llttlo circles nnd
enthusiasms, thinks of him. Ho prefers
Interesting revivals of queer, out-of the-way
works to "Trovntore" and "Travlata." Ho
has no Caruso, no Farrar, only an extremely
admirable company of artists, a French
Italian repertory spiced with variety, In
telligently Illusory setting, a. good conduc
tor, Moranzonl, and the willingness to pro
vide entertainment unspecked with familiar
ity. That Is all. And Philadelphia this
season to date has properly shown its dis
dain of his Impertinent pioneering by stay
ing away from his performances.
They did It nt the engrossing "Andrea
Chenler" Monday. They did It nt "Iris"
Inst night But Mr. Rablnof's revenge Is
at hand. If they stay avay from his
"Boheme." "Faust" and "Cavallerla," they
will convict themselves out of hand, not of
Indifference to tho piquant nnd diverting,
but of cosmic Inapprehension of nil
operatic art That will be really funny In
a city that prides Itself so loudly on Its
musical tastes and discriminations. Boston
can then afford to smile, without a sugges
tion of sour grapes.
It is true that "Iris" Is not a composi
tion of the trenchanco nnd illumination that
"Chenler" Is. Musically, It verges on un
importance, so thin Is the melodic tint that
permeates Its pastlcchlo surface, so Infre
quent the Inspiration. But to these pale
melodies Is wedded a poem of much soft
loveliness, tender pass on and voluptuous
words. A hasty glance at the book of tho
opera will show that. The most recent
performance of this seldom-performed work
had, beside the libretto, an ndded inspira
tion In the person of Mme. Mlura, tho tiny
Japanese prima donna, whose "Butterfly"
last season was praised, nnd justly. She
Is a fascinating little creature, all delicate
grace and gentle gesture nnd dim nutlve
voice. The Orient Itself could not be less
Occidental than her waving palms., her curi
ous, heart-broken smile, her trembling,
adolescent steps. Just tho woman for "But
terfly" after her too-American predeces
sors. And Just the woman for "Iris," that
quavering, loving, unsensual soul strayed
between earth and heaven.
Her representation, then, of Slgnor II
Ilea's (not Mascagnl's) heroine was a cameo
come to life When the unsophisticated
child of tho old blind man v. as beguiled
by a puppet show, kidnapped, thrust Into
a house of spurious gayety, reviled by her
father for her supposed fall from grace,
and cast herself Into a sewer, to rise to
the surfaco in time to hall the sun, which
threw Its burning rays on her closing eyes.
It was a little more than Just "opera." It
was too bad that this flower-blossom had
to wither In the bud. That was how one
felt
Considering her limited vocal resource,
sho sang well, too. So did Klttay, a well
endowed new tenor, who was the perfumed
seducer, Osaka, and who Is said to have
been originally a New York street minstrel,
In the broad sense of the term. Thomas
Chalmers, as the baritone procurer, and
Lazzarl, as the basso father, lent credence
to their parts, with capable acting and
capital voices. They, In common with their
co-workers, had to contend with the In
adequacy of the score. The story Is pas
sionate, fleshly;, 'the themes are not, and
when such lines as "She sends out the
fragrance of the lotus 1 Lips like cherries
ready to be eaten 1" are delivered to sugary
combinations of sound mora fitted to
Vloletta or Lucy, one must conclude that
the composer tried more than he could
encompass.
The hymn to the sun, which Is prologue
to the action of the piece, is, however,
more intriguing', and the prelude to the
third act, with its cold, ghostly shimmer,
even more so. un tne wnoie, siascagm
needs a Mlura for his "Iris." LaBt night
he had one, and Phlladelphtans might have
had one also If only they did not prefer
the swollen salary to tho sclenoe of
dramatlo singing. B. D.
ClIAl'TKll XXVIII (Continued)
""VrO!" iw declared, firmly. "You
LM wouldn't nsk It If you were In your
senses. Get me a gun nnd I'll shoot my
way out We'll go until they Btop us. But
don't aslc mo to lcao you."
Sho searched his faco eagerly, plteously,
then with a quivering sigh relaxed her ten
sion. "Then wo'vo only made matters
worso. You've spoiled our only chance. '
Fnthcr O'Malley, who had been lost In
thought, spoke up again: "Perhaps you will
let me try my wits. But first, do I under
stand that It wan ho who effected tho death
of Mr. Austin?"
Dave recounted as coherently as he could
tho circumstances of Ed's death and told
how he had learned, through Jose, of Lon-
gorlo's Intentions. As the priest lisiencu u
spot of color grew In his checks, his eyes
glowed with Indignation. Ho was about to
make known what was in nis mmu win...
Alalre raised her hand and in a strained
whisper exclaimed:
"Sh-hl Listen I" ,
The heavy door of the hacienda creaked,
a quick tread sounded on the tiles, the door
to tho living room was flung open and Lon
gorlo entered. He was hot nnd dusty from
his rldo, but with a lover's impetuosity no
had made straight for this lighted room.
For tho briefest Instant ho balanced him
self Just Insldo the portal, and the smile
remained fixed upon his lips. Then his eyes
beenmo ringed with white and he made a
swift, catlike movement of retreat Plainly
this was the suprcmest surprise of his life
time, and he seemed to doubt his senses.
But he recovered quickly. Thrusting his
head forward, he demanded:
"What Is this? You and you? Ho
stared from Davo to tho priest, then back
again. , ,
They all spoke at once, but ho heard only
Alalre's words:
"He came to find me."
Pancho appeared In tho doorway behind
Longorio, saying. "I heard you ride up. sir.
so 1 ran to tell you about this fellow
But tho general cut him short Call
your men, quick." ho cried In a voice that
sent the soldier leaping back Into tho night
Alalro was clinging to Dave, m-rely
clutching him the tighter when he tried to
unclasp her hold. Her movement Into the
shelter of his rival's arms infuriated Lon
gorio, who uttered an exclamation and fum
bled uncertainly with his bolster. But his
fingers wero clumsy. He could not take his
eyes from the pair, and he seemed upon tho
point or rushing rorwaru 10 ieu.r mem ui" '
"Don't touch her! Don't" he began,
cursing in a high-pitched voice. "Godl
What a reckoning!" Then he stamped his
feet, he wrung his hands, he called shrilly
at the top of his voice: "Lieutenant! Ho,
Pancho I You fellows ' Quickly I" Under tho
Btress of his excitement the feminine side
of his character betrayed Itself.
Alalro felt her newly made husband
gather himself for a spring; he was mut
tering to her to release him ; he was trying
to push her aside, but she held fast with
the strength of desperation.
"You can't harm us," she declared, fling
ing her words defiantly at the Mexican.
"You dare not You nre too late. Father
O'Malley has Just married us."
Longorio uttered a peculiar, wordless cry
of dismay; his mouth fell open; his arms
dropped; he went limp nil over, paralyzed
momentarily by surprise nnd horror; his
eyes protruded; he swayed aa If his sight
had blurred.
"I said I'd never marry you." she rushed
on. vibrantly. "This Is the man I love
the only man. Yes, and I've learned the
truth about you. I know who killed Mr.
Austin."
Longorio did a very unexpected thing,
then ; slowly, unconsciously, as If the move
ment were the result of a half-forgotten
training, he crossed himself.
nut now from the hall nt his back came
the pounding of bootheels nnd a half dozen
panting troopers tumbled through the door.
He waved them back and out Into tho hall
Father O'Malley, who had been trying to
make himself heard, stepped In front of tho
general and eald solemnly: "Tako care
what you do, Longorio. I have married
these people, and you can' undo what I
have done. We are Amerlcr citizens. The
laws of civilization protef us."
The Mexican fought fot his voice, then
stammered! "You are my priest; I brought
you hero. I offered to marry her. Now
you force me to damn my soul." Turning
his eyes wildly upon Alalre, he shouted:
"Too late, eh? You say I am too late! It
seems that I nm barely In time."
Dave added his words to the others:
"You are ten to one, but you can't have
her," he cried, defiantly, "Jose Sanchez
confessed to the murder of Mr. Austin and
told how you had got Mrs. Austin to come
here. The whole thing Is known In Wash
ington and Mexico City by this time. The
newspapers havo It; everybody knows you
aro keeping her as your prisoner, and that
I havo come for her. If sho Is harmed, nil
Mexico, all tho world, will know that you
aro worse than a murderer."
Longorio reached behind his back and
slnmmed tho door In the faces of his listen
ing men.
"What Is this? What did Jose confess?"
ho Inquired, sharply.
"Ho swears you hired him."
"Bah ! Tho word of a pelador."
In spite of the man's contemptuous tone
Dave saw tho expression in his faco nnd

"THE VACANT
WORLD"
A masterpiece of romance by
George Allen England
Don't fail to read this story, one
of tho most remarkable tales of
adventure and lovo which has yet
been written. It begins in
SATURDAY'S
Cuming j ftcuger
mado a quick decision. 'There's a limit to
what you dare to do. Longorio. I'm un
armed ; I make no resistance, so there Is
no excuso for violence. I surrender to you,
nnd claim protection for myself nnd my
wife."
But Longorio was not to be tricked.
"Good I" he cried, triumphantly. "I havo
been looking forward to something like this,
and I Bhall glvo myself a great pleasure."
Ho laid n hand upon tho doorknob, but be
fore ho could turn It tho Catholic priest had
him by the arm. and with a strength sur
prising In one of his stature wrenched him
away. Father O'Malley'a face was white
nnd terrible; his voice was deep, menacing;
the hand he raided above Longorio seemed
to brandish a weapon.
"Stopl" he thundered. "Are you mad
man? Destruction hangs over you; destruc
tion of body and soul. You dare not sep
arate those whom God hath joined."
"God I God l" the other shrilled. "I don't
believe In Him. I am a god; I know of no
other."
'Blasphemer I" roared the little man.
"Listen, then. So surely as you harm these
peoplo, so surely do you kill your earthly
prospects. You, tho first man of Mexico,
the dictator Indeed! Think what you nre
doing before it Is too late. Is your dream
of greatness only n dream? Will you sacri
fice yourself nnd nil your nsplratlons In the
heat of this unholy and Impossible passion?
Tonight, now, you must choose whether
you will bo famous or Infamous, glorious or
shameful, honored or dishonored I Restrain
your hatred and conquer your lust, or for
go forever your dreams of empire and pass
Into oblivion."
"You are a meddler," Longorio stormed.
"You mnko a loud noise, but I shall rid
Mexico of your kind. Wo shall have no
more of you priests."
Fnthcr O'Malley shook the speaker aa a
parent shakes nn unruly child. "Seel You
havo completely lost your head. But I
want you to listen to what I am saying.
Whether you nro more good than evil, God
must Judge, but tho peoplo of Mexico nro
good people, and they will not bo ruled by
a man who Is wholly bad. You havo tho
power to remove this man nnd this woman,
yes, nnd this priest who dares to point out
tho pit nt your feet ; but If you do you will
never command another Mexican army.
Thero Is no war. Wo aro not your enemies.
Tho world knows wo nre hero, and It holds
you accountable for our safety. Tomorrow
you will havo to faco tho reckoning."
Longorio listened. It was plain that he
recognized tho truth of O'Malley'a words,
but ho was convulsed with rage.
"Good !" ho cried, "I seo my dreams dis
solve but I nm not tho first great man to
trade nn empire for a woman. Antony, the
Roman general, laid his honor In a woman's
nrmF I had a shining destiny, but Mexico
will bo tho Bufferer by my betrayal. In
stead of Longorio the Dellvcror, I shall be
known as Longorio tho Lover, the man who

O'Malley Interrupted forcefully. "Enough
of this I Como with mo. I have something
moro to say to you." He Hung open the
door Into tho hall and, tnklng the general
by tho arm, fairly dragged him from the
room and Into the ono opposite. Tho lieu
tenant nnd his men looked on In nmazo
ment. shuming their feet and shifting their
rifle butts noisily upon the floor.
Alalro turned an anxious face to Dave,
saying, "He Is wonderful. Longorio Is
almost afraid of him."
"Yes ; he may bring him to his senses. If
ho doesn't " Dave cast his eyes desperately
over tho room, conscious all tho tlmo that
ho was being vvntched with suspicion by the
men outside. Ho stirred restlessly nnd
moistened his lips. "Longorio would be
crazy to Injuro you."
Ten minutes passed; fifteen. Alalre
leaned, motionless against the table; Dave
paced nbout, followed by the eyes of the
soldiers One of the latter struck a match,
and in tho silence It sounded like a gun
shot Dave startled, at which the soldiers
laughed. They began to talk In murmurs.
The odor of cignrctte smoko drifted In to the
man and tho woman.
Finally the door through which Father
O'Malley and Longorio had passed opened,
and tho priest emerged. He was alone. His
faco was flushed nnd damp : his eyes were
glowing. He forced the Mexicans out of tho
way and, entering tho living room, closed
the door behind him.
"Well?" his two friends questioned,
anxiously.
"I've dono all I can. The rest Is out of
our hands." Tho little man sat down
heavily and mopped his forehead.
"What does he say?"
"Ho told me to come hero and wait I
never saw a man so torn, so distracted "
"Then he Is wavering. Oh-hl" Alalre
clasped her hands In thanksgiving, but the
father cautioneu nor:
"Don't be loo sanguine. lie Is not afraid
of consequences. He appears to have no
conscience Ho Is without mercy nnd seems
lost to shame. I have never met a man
qulto like him. Do you know what ho
feels at this moment? Chagrin. Yes, morti
fication raised to the highest iKoh,
sort of stupefaction that you should prefei"
another man to him. He can't underHa4
your lack of taste." Father O'Malley wntte
faintly.
"Conceited idiot," Dare growled.
'Ills humiliation kills him. When I W
that it was useless to appeal to htm en
moral grounds, and that threats were Un
availing, I took another course. Something;
gave me insight Into his mind and the
power to talk as I have never talked before.
All In a flash I saw the man's soul laid
bare before me, and I think I played upon

OU enter a store, make your purchase,
hand a dollar across the counter to
the store-keeper, and go on your way
rejoicing. What becomes of that dol
lar or what percentage of it is "profit"
interests no one but the recipient.
But there's a difference with the
dollar spent for service with a public
utility company; what becomes of
that dollar and who share its hundred
pennies should be the concern of every
user of the service.
In the Bell System it takes an average in
vestment of approximately four dollars to earn
.a aonar 01 yearly gross revenue, xnis average
dollar quickly finds its way back to the public.
(771 Forty-six and a half cents are paid out in wages,
the employes of the Bell System receiving $120,000,000
in this way during 1915.
27J Twenty-four cents are spentfir expenses, material
andsupplies purchased from every corner of the country;
this aggregates fifty-seven and a half million dollars dur
ing the year.
Five and ahalf cents go tor taxes, contributing over
twelve million dojlars to the public purse.
47J Nineteenanda half cents go for interest and divi
dends, the bond and stockholders (there are over ninety
thousand of the latter, including thirty-two thousand
employes) sharing in a yearly total of forty-six million
dollars that represents an average return of 5 on tho
plant investment and less than 6 on the outstanding
securities of the Bell System.
(7J Four and a half cents are reinvested, as surplus, in
telemone plant devoted to public use, a total of over ten
million dollars in 1915.
That a dollar well earned shall be well spent is pri
marily essential to the efficient, faithful conduct of a
public service. That, among the foremost considerations,
is the purpose of the Bell System.
