Front Itenldeaee of McKellsr A thief with unusual taste stole about (WO worth of cut glass from the residence of II McKellar 1544 Carr Avenue recently The robbery however was discovered only yesterday by Mr McKellar who had not been at home for some days since the family went away on a visit Yesterday however he went to tha house to see if It was still Intact He found that one of the lower windows had been forced and an entrance effected He could find nothing taring except the cut glass and other articles from the dining room Among the articles missing are one cut glass electrolier one tall cut glass vase one tall crystal vase silver trimmed ono loving cup engraved two brass candlesticks and other article of value None of the family had been inside the house for some weeks since the family left for a visit to -New York until yesterday afternoon when Mr McKellar went home for a short time from a neighbor's where he is living during the absence of the family He reported the burglary to Chief Roper of the Detective Department He believes that the thief entered the house Saturday night as mud from hb shoes found about the window and on the dining room floor was still soft Chief Roper nas detailed detectives to make a hunt for the loot and the thief ROAD MAKES IMPROVEMENT Doable Traelc Cat-Off of Southern Ry at Cltlco Completed Announcement Is made by the Southern Railway that the double track cut-off at Cltlco just outside of Chattanooga has been completed and put in service thus greatly improving the facilities for handling trains Into and out of the Chattanooga Terminal Station The new cut-off while comparatively short involved some costly construction hut will prove of great benefit in handling the through trains from New Orleans and Memphis to New York via Chattanooga through trains between Cincinnati and Florida and local trains between Chattanooga and Atlanta By the use of the new track trains will head directly Into the Chattanooga station Instead of having to back from the Cltlco yards Into the station as formerly In like manner trains leaving the station will head out of the station instead of having to back to Cltlco The completion of the cut-off gives the Southern aouhle track from the cl*tu-tanooga terminul to Ooltewah a distance of 15 miles just as It has double track from the Atlanta terminal to Austell a distance of IS miles SHELBY DOCKET IS UP Cloth Will Case Scheduled for Hcnr- law at Jaehsou Today The Circuit Court of Appeals at Jack-eon will take up the Shelby County docket today and quite a number of Important cases will come up for hearing The Cloth will cose Is scheduled to be presented today and quite a number of Srominent Memphis attorneys will be in ackson to attend Among them are Col II Carroll Senator Fisher Riddick the Hon Malone Bell and Caruthers Ewing HE LIKED 88 CAL PISTOLS Hurst 58 North Front Street reported to the police yesterday that some one had entered his room and robbed it Divorce Question a dissertation on the problem suggested by the title re- ceived its initial presentation here yesterday afternoon at the Lyric Theater before an audience that enjoyed every one of Its more or less tense momenta The play Is sbly presented It givqe graphic picture of the result the worst pooidble that may follow divorce It accentuates this by adding to it the effects of neglect on the part of outsiders through whose neglect the progeny of the principals have fallen below the level of tbs street It Is a aerlea of morbid pictures drawnfto conform to a religious view that takes a positive stand against divorce To call It a dissertation Is hardily characterising It properly The main Idea admits of no argument It brands divorce ms wrong so the theme of the play is worked off at angles from that central and predominating thought The conclusion Is natural The principals who have been severed and married again but not to each see their children the girl to die after a life gone wrong the son sent to prison for murder And yet the author who wrote the play while delivering a strong sermon -against the Hexed evil and a brief plea for eugenics before matrimony made of his degenerate youth a strong hero But If Divorce Question" serves no great moral purpose it must at leatt le conceded a good entertainment Its lines are well 'written William Anthony McGuire the author has taken his char- actera from lifei They Sre not pirrijets i The husband and wife are characters one meets every day The central figure the priest Is a beneficent helping man of the church Tliere has been no sacri-v Icq? here In drawing this replica John Kline has the role and handles It with an ease a poise that efamps him a finished actor His delivery is deliberate and forceful Tie dignifies the role and keeps It from becoming a mockery As the father Sheldon Lewis typtfles the material business man of today He is natural refined and clean William Moug makes character of the part of the wayward youth who has become first a driix fiend then a murderer Tils delineation of the role is a wlerd but real creation He affects lapses of memory and paroxysms of fear with the gr-e of the finished actor In a repulsive role Mr Moug vesterday won sincere commendation Burnette Radcllffe was a truly sympathetic and penitent mother Virginia Pearson nicely fills the demand of the part of the girl In conclusion It mar be said that Divorce while presenting many melodramatic scenes Is a tense If not entirely convincing drama It puts the dl- vnree question forth very strongly even 1 If It does not suggest any alternative If the acts that will compose the programme at the Orpheum this afternoon and the remainder of the week create even half as favorable Impression here as they have In other cities then the Orpheum can congratulate Itself and announce to the populace that It has one of the best entertainments of the season In the first place there are two headliners Instead of one' and In the second either of these acts are said to be of such proportions that they could singly take care of such an honor with ease Jessie Burtey starred for several -seasons in Bishop's Carriage" and other well known successes and who is making her first tour In vaudeville will share the featured carmine-letter honors with Florence Tempest and her company of ten young men The offering of the

MRS FLOURNOY BREAKFAST PL'FFS OR To one and a half cup of cold milk add one well-beaten egg a little salt and two cups of whole wheat or graham flour or sufficient to make a batter thick enough not to settle flat when put in the muffin molds The lightness of the uffs depends upon the quantity of air ncorporated Into them and in order to get In as large an amount as possible the flour should be added very slowly only a little at a time and the mixture beaten very thoroughly and continuously not by stirring round and round but by dipping the apoon in and partially lifting it out very swiftly and quickly making as many bubbles of air as possible It should take from five to ten minutes constant beating thus before the last of the flour Is added then the mixture should be poured at once into hot gem Irons and baked In a quick oven The beating must be continuous from the beginning In order not to let any of the air escape and the flour should be measured the egg well-beaten the oven hot and the gem Irons heating before commencing to put the mixture together Unless the irons are hot so much air will escape before they are heated enough to form a crust on the bottom and sides of the pdffs that they will not be light but the Irons should not be hot enough to burn the batter It has been my endeavor In giving this recipe to be very explicit for at different times I have been asked by at least four persons to publish a rule for making these little for that Is what they seem to be when made perfectly One cup of cold mashed potatoes and one cup of milk rubbed through a setve or colander to work out all the lumps: add the yolk of a well-beaten egg and then stir In slowly beating well as for breakfast puffs one cup of corn meal add lastly the white of the egg beaten to a stiff froth and bake at once In heated gem Irons Wheat flour may be substituted for potato if preferred In which case it should be mixed with the corn meal before adding to the mixture GRAHAM GRIDDLE CAKES Take one pint of graham flour half a pint of corn meal- half a pint of flour one heaping teaspoon of brown sugar one teaspoon of salt two teaspoons of baking powder Add the egg well-beaten half a pint each of milk and water: mix together Into a smooth batter without being too thin Of too thick it will not run but break off and drop) Heat the griddle very hot pour the batter Into cakes as large as desired Bake brown being careful not to let them remain too long before turning or they will not be light Serve very hot It Is Impossible to give the exact proportion of liquid to be used with flour as there is so much difference in flour some having so much more body than other kinds Washington Box Apples Cheap Fine Fruit From Yakima Valley Large find Small Sizes 1175 Order a Box From Your
