For 20 years or more tbe star baa been tbe Idol of tbe public and tbe god ot managers. Mighty waa the wage ot tbla divinity. Tbe star ays torn teemed permanent. Out last season waa one ot tbe most trying tbat tbeater managers have ever weathered. Scarcely one has not curtailed bla enterprise, says the New York Sun. Theatrical Invest ment is on a much Icbs extensive acale than It was 12 months ago. (ex treme conservatism marks tbe busi ness this fall. Managers are search ing for suggestions as to the best means or putting their affairs on a olid basis. One reBult of this inves tigation Is tbe assertion tbat it would probably be much better for the the aters IT there were fewer stars or none at all. The reasons for this de cision seem sound, at all events sound er to reasonable laymen tban the causes of the sudden promotion of very blue-eyed Ingenue to tbe rank ot a star. Managers have decided that tbe theatrical celebrity tbey make holds them afterward In tyran nical grasp. They must eventually accede to all the conditions these play ers may Impose. Thus by deliberately creating a star they are raising up a force that will eventually bo Inimical to them. Crlndell Matthews, a young Eng lish engineer, Is believed by bis friends to be on the vorge of giving to the world a wireless telephone with'wblcb conversations may be carried on across the Atlantic. It may not be come public, as tbe British govern roent may Feek to acquire tbe sole right to It, preserving tbe secret, and retulning It for use In war. All that la known concerning tbe apparatus It that It Is In a box so small that one may easily carry It about Instru ments may be tuned so that tbey will transmit only to others tuned in tbe same key. A man might telephone to his wife while she is out shopping Tests have been made in which tbe Interposition of trick and iron walls was shown to be no barrier. Nothing seems too wonderful In tbe way ot in vention especially where electricity Is concerned; so nobody will bo great ly surprised if Matthews' invention fulfills Its promise. The New York populace Is apt to smile with pitying superiority when It hears a Cockney drop his "h's." It forgets that It Is equally culpable in regard to u not her letter or the alpha bet,, "r." How It does shy at "r." When the letter is not dropped en tirely It becomes "ol," as In "goll" for girl, or "wolld" for world What Is being done In our public schools to correct this bid hahlt and others equally bad? Tbe Cockney language Is not a thing of beauty or a delight to the ear, but positively we are de veloping an argot here that Is much worse; a monstrous, hybrid torm ot speech, devoid at once ot grace and music. Let our' school commission ers look to it! When a man holds up his fellow man at tbe point or a gun cud relieves him ot bis belongings, it is called highway robbery. When a nation does the same thing It is called war. What the world needs Is an Interna tional police torce. When a man sues a girl for the money be spent In coiifting her, It behooves the girl to enter a counter suit tor the gas that was burned dur ing tbe sessions In the parlor. An Ohio man fainted after he had played a piano continuously for twen ty seven hours. We haven't heard what happened to the people who were compelled to listen.

Tbe agitation against al leged atrocities by Italians In Tripoli which has sprung up In the British press and Is supported by a few mem bers of the House of Commons since uncensored reports arrived here from English newspaper correspondents concerning recent occurrences in Tripoli, received fresh Impetus through a telegram received by u news agency from Herbert Montague, a second lieutenant ot the Fifth Fusl leers. Lieutenant Montague tele graphed from Soukelyohma, by way of Dchlbat, on the frontier of Tunis, as follows: "I feel It my duty to send to you the following telegram, and I beg you In the name of Christianity to publish It throughout England. I am an English officer, now voluntarily serv ing in the Turkish Army here. "As you know already about the ferocious resistance which the Turks and Arabs are offering the Italians, I will only express my admiration tor their bravery and fortitude, which would warm the heart or any English man or of any true soldier In the world. "Imagine my feelings when, on en tering and driving the ItaUuns out ot Arab houses which they bad fortified and were holding, we discovered the bodies ot some 120 women and chil dren with their hands and feet bound, mutilated, pierced and torn. Later on at (the name of the town was lost In transmission) we found a mosque filled with bodies of women and chil dren, mutilated almost beyond recog nition. 1 could not count them, but there must have been three or four hundred. "Even now we are getting news of further massacres of women and children who were discovered on dif ferent farms lately occupied by Ital ians. The Idea of the Italians when they slaughtered the Innocents obvi ously was one of revenge for their heavy losses in battle. "We are at this moment under u heavy shrapnel fire, so you must ex cuse me If these sentences are some what disjointed. There Is also an aeroplane circling over our position and directing the enemy's gun fire on i us." Lieutenant Montague's message Is dated November 2. THE NATION'S FINANCES.

Chicago police are Investigating into the death of nearly half a score of relatives and acquaintances of Mrs. Louise Ver miiya to muke certain whether the similar demlupa cnnutltuted nnlv a re markable series of coincidences, as Mrs. Vermiiya asserts. Nine deaths are Included in the list with which Mrs. Voimiiya's name has been con nected, including two husbands, two stepchildren, tlu-ee children and two roomers at boarding-houses she kept. Developments following the estab lishment of police surveillance at tbe woman's home came from several cities where she had lived.

That, while the woman told the police she had assisted an undertaker at Crystal Lake, a former home, In embalming bodies, tbe undertaker there denies she ever had any such I. experience. She gave this as a rea son why she could discuss the deaths with composure. That R. N. Brulngton, a photog rapher o! Peoria, and brother-in-law of Conductor Smith, had made love to the widow following Smith's death so as to investigate suspicions he then had about the reason for his relative's demise, and that the widow had told him part of her matrimonial history, which be desires to give to the cor oner. That Smith died during convulsions and after drinking somo substance, whether medicine or not being unset tled, but that the doctors guve the cause of death, from descriptions of symptoms given by the widow, as acute gastritis.
