LONDON, Sept. 15.—The alarming
spread of cholera In Russia has given
ri.e to the greatest fears that the whole
European continent will be ravaged by
this disease. Today Germany, France,
Italy, Austria, England and other coun
tries are planning the moat rigid pre
cautionary measure*. Owing to the
unsanitary conditions In Russia It
seems to be Impossible to check the

MONT CLAIR, N. J, Sept, 15.—"I am
thru with tho old Itfo. I don’t want to
think of the past. It Is like a horrible
dream that one seeks to forget."
In plaintive tone, Bertha Clalche, the
pretty young French girl who ghot and
killed Emil Guerdon In New York three
years ago. said this on her arrival at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Balllngton
Booth here. It fas the first statement
from the girl since Iter Incarceration In
Auburn, and ahe made It with the tears
flowing down her pale cheeks.
Accompanied by the woman who had
befriended her, ahp arrived In Jersey
City from Auburn on the Pennsylva
nia railroad and then took a train for
Newark. From Newark the pair went
to Mrs. Booth's home.
After she had washed away the
stains of travel and had settled herself
In a big arm chair, while a meal was
being prepared for her. Bertha ex
pressed her willingness to talk to the
Interviewer. This proved somewhat
hard for her. for. In spite of her asso
ciation with English speaking persons
In prison, she Is still sadly deficient In
the English language.
“It may seem strange," she began,
“to say that I have not felt the strain
of being In prison, hut It Is so. I have
felt a greater content than I have ever
known, and at this time I feel as If I
were In heaven. Mrs. Booth Is the
kindest woman In the world, and I am
going to be so good—oh, so good—that
she will love me like a daughter.”

“The Devil’s Auction."
"The Devil’s Auction” was presented
at the Grand Monday night, the twenty-
seventh edition of the everlasting play,
as the program, the posters and the
press agents say.
All the auctioneers, the auctloneea
and the auctlonlsses worked hard, the
orchestra played all the time and every
thing from burglar music to Mosart’
masterpieces, scenic shifters hoppe
around like grasshopper! on a holiday,
and yet—and yet—
One could not help from noticing—
"How near the everlasting "Devil’s
Auction" comes to being an everlasting
shame—and asking—
Why the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Old Women doesn’t get
busy—and thinking—
That the scenery has a right to totter
and fall and seemingly try to run away.
One or two specialties are Introduced
that can be classed as fair. Otherwise
’The Devil’s Auction" Is a complete,
continuous and perfect nothing.
No review of “The Devil’s Auction’
would be complete without a mention
of the fact that In the second act Toby,
the alleged funny fan, lit a candle in
order that he might eat a light lunch
He paid so himself. Have a ha-ha

At the Bljeu.
When the lateness of the season In
1907 made It necessary to cancel the
ddtd of ’’In. New York Town," It was
booked to appear at the Bijou, and
served to add one more very good show
to the Met of those appearing In the
Sfason of 1909. .
' With a little touch of mighty good
vaudeville here and there, a good deal
of music, dancing and song, and with a
large vein of humor running thru the
whole performance. "In New York
Tcwn" buret Into the glare of the lime
light at the Bijou Monday night and
sprang Into popular favor right off the
reel. Did It please? The gallery gods,
the severest and most feared critics of
the stage, gave It the stamp of their
approval; they rote on their hind feet
repeatedly and cheered like mad and
threatened at times to climb over the
balustrade and charge on the footlights.
And It was enough. It was "welcome
to our city" alLthe way thru.
In New York Town" Is a musical
comedy—mostly music, but consider'
able comedy. James H. Llchter as
Heine Von Eastgs, an alleged German
baron, and Charles Howard as Ikey
Shlnesteln, furnished the comedy, and
It Is to laugh to see them.
The Austin sisters mode a great hit
with their "Bmarty" aong and when
Jennie Austin and chorue sang "Come
On In. the Water's Fine.” the building
trembled with repeated encores. The
whirlwind dance of the Marvelous Mil
lers Is really a remarkable exhibition
of whirlwind dancing and Is a splendid
feature of the show. Powder and Chap
man. buck dancers, gave an exhibition
that la seldom surpassed In vaudeville
or elsewhere.
As a whole, the show Is fully up to
the standard and It le sure to draw
crowds. HOWARD D. WEAVER.
At the Orpheum.
Just about the time you think Ben
Kahn has reached the limit and cannot
offer anything better, he fools you. The
bill at the opening week of the Orpheum
was as good as any lover of vaudeville
would want to see and as good as can
be seen anywhere. But here he comes
this week and produces something still
better.
To one of thoee packed houses which
have become the rule at the Orpheum.
this week's bill was presented Monday
night and not a feature on the program

big audience and call forth enthusiastic
”se.
audience evidently agreed with
the management In featuring Roslna
Caaaelll and her troupe of wonderful
midget doge. Many varieties of trained
dogs have been seen at the Orpbeum,
hut It Is doubtful If there Is any liner
art In this line on the vaudeville stage
todny. These animals are midgets
hilled as Mexican Chihuahua dogs and
about the only thing they didn't do was
to ta.Hi and sing.
Another feature was that winsome
comedienne. Patrice. In the clever play

which furnished entertainment of a
high character. Sharing In the enthu
siastic applause of the evening were
Ben Ryan and George White, who
pulled off some dancing stunts that
have never been bettered In Atlanta.
The musical Goolmans presented a
unique novelty In clever talk mid In
extracting music from various mechan
isms. while Harry Leciolr lived up to
his claim of the Bernhardt of vaude
ville and standing alone In his satirical
Impersonations of famous actresses.
The bill ended with W. H. Macart, a
famous comedian, aa emertalnlnr os
funny, and the Phllllpl brothers In some
marvelous athletic work. Every num
ber on this week's bill Is a feature.

Only Lamp in the World Whose Life
Is Guaranteed===Life, 1000 Hours
Numerous tests of the “JUST” Tungsten Lamp made under varying con
ditions have demonstrated an average life, according to voltage and candle-
power, of from 800 to 1,000 hours, with no perceptible decrease in candlepow-
er throughout the entire life of the lamp.
Other so-called tungsten lamps claim an average life of about 800 hours,
but we unreservedly guarantee the life of the “JUST” Lamp to be 1,000
hours and will replace all lamps which burn out in less than that time from
defect in manufacture.

Gentlemen:—
Replying your inquiry, recent
date of what our experience has
been with the “JUST” Tungsten
Light, will say that we installed 6
of these 40-C. P. lights in our beef
cooler about the 1st of March in
place of 12 16-C. P. carbon fila
ment lamps and saved more than
the original cost of our lamps the
first month, and even showed _ a
greater decrease in our light bill
for the second month. The lights
are giving tis the best of satisfac
tion, ns they throw a very white
light instead of a yellow light.
Yours truly,
