BULLETS ARE TRICKY
One Chance Shot That Brought Down
Tircp English Officers
It has been truly said that once you
Mre a bullet from a modern rifle no one
can fore -ast where it will ultimately
come to rest. Even when a bullet has
an uninterrupted course it is capable
of upsetting al! known calculations of
its flight and range.
the battle of Omdurman a
sick officer was carried across the Nile
nn I placed under an awning no less
than 3,500 yards from the nearest
point of possible lire. This should eas
ily have insured him a margin of safe
ty, but it didn't. A stray bullet ate up
the intervening three miles of desert
air, struck him in the head and killed
iiini.
Shortly before another battle in the
Sudan General sir Archibald Hunter,
Colonel Ilacket-Thompson. C. I!.. and
another officer were reeonnoitering
through an opening in the wall of a
disused sakieh, or waterwheel. The
hole in the wall was so small that the
officers ha-! to stand one behind the
other to see anything.
The officer, whose name is not given
in the incident, was in front using a

Imagination balks at the magnitude of $2,000,000.
Only when it is translated into terms of purchasing
power does it become comprehensible.
Two million dollars, for example, will support more
than 2000 families of moderate income for a year.
Two ,million dollars will buy more than 200,000
barrels of flour, more than 50,000 sewing machines or
80,000 suits. It will give work for an entire year to 2000
men and women engaged in various productive indus
tries and other occupations that add to the common
welfare of the people in all walks of life.
It is $2,000,000 a year that the Full Crew—"excess
man crew"—Laws compel the railroads of your States
to pay in unearned wages. These Laws deprive you of
improvements for safety and comfort in travel that this
money, now used unproductively, would provide.
How much longer in these times when economy is
a universal necessity are you willing to endure this
tremendous waste? In the end the cost bears upon you,
either in increased rates or decreased service,
i Will you use your influence in urging that the
people's elected Representatives at Trenton and Harris

; and place control of the proper managing of trains in
the hands of the Public Service Commissioners?

Maude Adams
Maude Adams comes to the Majestic
next Friday evening, when she will be
seen in a special revival that she has
been planning for a long time of
"Quality Street." This is one of the
early plays by J. M. Barrie. It came
immediately aft-r "The Little Min
ister." In the first play Barrie
showed that he was a skilled drama
tist; in "Quality Street" ne went fur
ther and proved it. His first work was
no lucky accident and there are any
number of people who will nan tne op
portunity of again seeing "Quality
Street" with positive pleasure. To
them Phoebe Throssell will always re
main one of Miss Adams' most charm
ing characterizations. It is a great
tribute to Barrie's skill that his plavs
have lasting qualities that do not seem
to be possessed by the works of his
contemporaries. The reason is that he
does riot deal with evanescent things.
There iB no age limit to romance aud
sentiment.
Years after "Peter Pan" was
thought to have run its theatrical
course it was revived anil it was
found to be more popular than when
it was at first made known. Miss Ad
ams is now having the same experience
with "Quality Street." In the cities
in which it has already been given the
sweetness of its story "and the pictures
of the life that it deipicts have won
for it the most sincere appreciation.
"Quality Street - ' is the name given to
a little narrow place in England in the
iong ago. The story deals with the
people who live on this little street,
principal among whom are Susan and
Phoebe Throssell and the manly young
doctor, Valentine Brown. There' is a
love story you may be sure, and it is in
its working out that one's interest and
sympathies are aroused. A very com
petent company will be found surround
ing Miss Adams in the presentation of
the play. Adv.*
At the Orpheum
Ralph Dunbar's Eight Royal Dra
goons, hailed as vaudeville' 9 celebrated
singing band, will be the star attrac
tion of the Orpheum's bill this week.
This is a high-class vocal attraction, es
pecially in the matter of staging and
costuming, although some of their vo
cal ensembles and instrumental num
bers are popular airs. The members of
the cast appear in stunning white mili
tary uniforms. The appearance is ef
fectivp, indeed, before the handsome
blaek idush curtains. The musicians
are especially clever on their various
instruments, producing whirls ol" ex
quisite harmony. Their voeaf numbers
are well rendered also, as the eight mu
sicians a/e all singers of ability. The
Royal Dragoons are much on the order
of Ralph Dunbar's Royal Hussars, the
act that headlined on the last season's
closing bill anil which was then pro
claimed by the critics of the local news
papers as being one of the season's
finest headliners
Claud and Fannie I'sher, vaude
ville's celebrated artists, will present
their new comedy drama enUtled, "The
Straight Path;" Hines and Fox, the
natty singing comedians, return with
new vocal hits; Muller and Stanley, the
clever couple in songs and comedy, will
likely win their former favor here with
new material, and Claire Rochester, the
charming songstress, will make her first
appearance here. Nelson and Nelson,

quality.
On .Monday and Tuesday will be
shown the famous Belasco play for the
first time 011 the s.recn, "The Rose of
the Ranch." This picture is not only a
triumph in itself, but also it marks as
does nt other production. It is the
triumph of the picture drama. As a
plav it enjoyed a run of two years at
the Belasco theatre, Xew York City.
On Wednesday and Thursday an
other paramount feature will he offered,
"The Bargain," in five reels, featuring
the popular actor, William S. Hart, and
produced by Thomas Tnce. In "The
Bargain, Mr. 1 nee and Mr. Clifford have
produced a wonderfully strong western
story, which in its own class is very
good. It is a typical western drama,
full of thrills and action, some of which
are of a sensational character.
One scene in particular warrants
special mention. Mr. Hart, who plays
the leading role, with his horse, a well
trained animal, roll over and over down
an em'bankment. This act is one of the
most wonderful reproductions ever seen.
Neither the rider nor horse are injured
in the leawt, a remarkable feature.
Mr. Hart plays the role of "Bill
Stakes, the Two Gun Man." He is a
character that is constantly showing
his prowess in the saddle. When ae is
not astride his famous horse, he is prov
ing himself a good actor in many ways,
and is always giving a good account of
himself. Adv.*

MASSACRE STORY RETIRES
Carnahan. Who Sat at Telegraph Key
-I Hours at Stretch, Is Pensioned
and Will Spend Rest of Days on
Farm
Blackwell, Okla., March 22. John
M. Carnahan, the telegraph operator
who sent out from Bismarck, X. D., one
of the biggest stories the world ever
read—the story of the. Custer massacre
011 the Little Big Horn in July, 1576
—has just retired 011 a pension and is
planning to spend the rest of his days
in Oklahoma on a Kay county farm.
For seventeen years Carnahan was
at the frontier station of Bismar k.
The Bismarck garrison, including many
friends of Carnahan, was in the Custer
expedition. The operator and the post
surgeon rode out from the post with
the expedition when it started in June,
187ti, to punish the Sioux Indians. They
went twelve miles with the Seventh,
Cavalry and then returned with the
last dispatch General Custer ever sent.
It was addressed to President Grant
and told pf the plans for the expedition.
On the night of July 3 the steamer
Far West came down tiie river and tied
up at Bismarck when most people were
in bed. The Far West brought the
wounded from Reno's command and the
oflicinl dispatches which told of the
complete annihilation of Custer's out
fit.
• 'arnnhau was called from his bed
and found on his desk in the telegraph
office a carpetbag full of official re
ports of the light and its results. Me
sized 11 the job and his first wire ac
tion was to Hash the woTd Bast that
Ihe massacre had occurred. Then he set
tled down to the transmission of the of
ficial story to the Department of War
at Washington. For twenty-one hours
he did not leave the Key. Coffee and
sandwiches were handed him now and
then during the long shift and a wet
towel was kept on his forehead. With
the reports finished he fell into bed
and for three hours slept the sleep of
exhaustion. Then lie got up and re
turned to the key.
For two days the Fastern papers had
been clamoring for detailed news of the
massacre, but 1 arnahan could not leave
his official work and until now there
was no one to send it. He started iu,
however, and sent all he could find out
to New York, Chicago and St. Paul pa
pers. He sent as much story as he had
strength to get and prepare and that
was the way the details of the disasut
were sent out.
Carnahan had sent SO.OOO words in
the two shifts, and the receipts of his
office in those two days were $3,000.
As fast, as thew could arrive special
correspondents hurried to Bismarck to
get the intimate details of the big
story. O'Kelly, a Xew York man, wai
the first big one on the ground, anil
Carnahan sent for twelve hours more
on his stuff. There were 22,000 words
and the tolls on the special dispute!
were $1,320. O'Kelly gave Carnahan
SSO for his extra work and the vet
eran operator still has that s.">o bill.
