Hallowe’en Comes Tonight.
A little premonitory advice or
notice is always welcome upon
the eve of Hallowe’en, a festival
time of the ancient Druids, that
has come down to us as an oc
casion for all sorts of mischiev
ous pranks.
The removal of gates and in
fact anything that’s not securely
nailed down suggests amuse
ment to the youngsters and
about the only recourse the old
er people have is to be on guard
and prevent these variou
things from happening.
Boys in their youthful exu
berance often go to an extreme
in the destruction of property
that ought not to be tolerated,
which these same boys will in
later years view as actual van
dalism.
The Druids believed that the
night preceding All Saints Day
was given over to the witches
and from this pagan supersti
tion-many of the amusements of
our hallowe’en parties very nat
urally come.
I Upon the boys, bent upon
i pranks to disturb their elders,
we would urge moderation, for
its very easy to go beyond mere
{mischief and do real and perma
; nent injuries.
I
Dia/. Now With Us.
One of the adherents of Huer
ta, a Mexican general, says that
the flight of Diaz eliminates
him from further serious con
sideration in the affairs of Mex
1 ico, because he has made him
self ridiculous.
Jt is a difficult thing to live
down ridicule, but Diaz may
I have run away for the purpose
1 of fighting another day. In this
he has honorable precedent. His
uncle, Porfirio Diaz, late presi
dent of Mexico, in the seventies
took refuge in flight to the
ITni+nrt Cl'iloa nnrt vpmriinpft in i
this country some time.
At the psychological moment
Diaz returned to Mexico, took
charge of a revolutionary organ. (
ization, later became president
and still later the absolute ruler
of that country.
It is proper, we presume, for
the United States to grant Diaz
: asylum, but we doubt the wis
I dom or the good taste of accept
1 ing Diaz with any degree of hos
pitality.
When the Maderos were kill
ed in Mexico, Diaz and Huerta
were cheek by jowl. Diaz start
ed a revolution in Vera Cruz.
He was quickly captured by fol
lowers of Madero, and instead
of being shot was placed in pris
on. In the uprising against Ma
dero in the City of Mexico Diaz
got out of prison, assisted in the
insurrection against the presi
dent, and there is no record
when the fate of that man was
decided upon that Diaz was
spurred on by any motive of
gratitude that impelled him to
make an effort to save the life
of the man who had spared his
own.—Commercial Appeal.
First Number Excellent.
The first number of the Cen
tral Lyceum course under the
management of the Newport
School Improvement Associa
tion wa* the Marguerite Smith
Concert Company, which ap
peared at the High School Au
ditorium Thursday evening and
to the regret of those in charge,
only a fair sized aurience greet
ed this most excellent trio of
entertainers.
The Marguerite Smith Com-1
pany were all that could be de
sired in music and reading.
Miss Marguerite Smith as a
child impersonator was as line
as has ever been heard in New
port. Her selections from James
Whitcomb Riley, and Eugene
Field were most attractive.
Her change in voice from the
tiny prattling, childish song of
the three year old to the stub
born whimperings of the boy of
twelve is wonderful but Miss
Smith is equal to it all.
Miss Edyth Rhetts was a fine
addition to the program as a
concert pianist. Shfe has a re
markable range and her selec
tions were remarkably difficult
Probably the most enjoyed of
all the numbers was Miss Olive
Smith, contralto singer, who
possesses a beautiful voice re
markably clear and her selec
tions were popular and loudly
encored. Her rendition of An
nie Laurie, as a closing song
was well worth the price of ad
mission.

as any circus can grow in this
day and age. The entire per
formance is given in the three
rings and The stages—is pre
sented in such a manner that no
manner at what angle you a.e
seated in the canva= you can
see every act—sometimes fif
teen of them going on at one
time—with perfect ease. The
Wild West performance takes
place on the race track, so that
every part of this performance
passes you from two to three
times.
The big show will appear at
