SHERRY'S
AT SHERRY'S LAST DAY.
Noted Painter Is Enthusiastic Over
Virginia Pearson.
Virginia Pearson appearing in her
second picture play for William Fox
in the society drama, "Hypocrisy," is
the finest type of beauty in America,
excellent in perfection Cleopatra, the
ancient beauty of whom Miss Pear
son has been considered the modern
prototype. This assertion has been
made, not alone by the publicity writ
ers of the Fox organization, but by
no less an authority than George
Harwood Barret, noted painter of
New York's Fifth avenue socity beau
ties and an illustrator of international
reputation.
"The Cleopatra of history to whom
Miss Pearson has been likened was
beyond question quite beautiful," he
says. "But the best authority will
prove that she was almost petite.
She was not the radiant or opulent
beautv such as you hnd in Miss .rear-
son. She was, I feel certain, of an
irregular physical type, not the wonv
an of perfect contour and superb full
ness and curve that one sees in Miss
! Pearson."
! "'1 think that Miss Pearson, pos-
' . (1 iU .1
sessinjf ooutnurn waimui nnu cnarm,
is today the loveliest and most perfect
physical specimen of womanhood who
can be iound in Worth America.
Just the Thing for Diarrhoea.
"About two years ago I had a se
vere attuck of diarrhoea which lasted
over a week," writes W. C. Jones, Bu
ford, N. D. "I became so weak that
1 1 could not stand upright. A druggist
recommenuea namDeriain s ionc,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. The
first dose relieved me and within two
days I was as well as ever." Many
druggists recommend this remedy be
cause they know that it is reliable,
Obtainable everywhere.
EDNA GOODRICH, MOROSCO-PARAMOUNT STAR.
In (iron! Photoplay at Arcade Now.
In tho story of "The Making of
Muddulena" the Morosco-Pnianiounl
photoplay now playing at the Arcade
theatre for two days, (iooigo Hale
is influenced to start an art career in
Rome.
He docs this to win the admiration
of the girl ho loves.
Being of carefree happy disposition
he dallies with his work. Yet hj
feels wronged when he receives her
letter confessing her love for and ac
ceptance of another.
That power which always finds
some mischief for an idler to do
starts tho trouble. George Hale's
now reckless fancy attracts and
awakens the emotions of tho beauti
ful Italian model.
Miss Goodrich as "Maddalena," tho
model portrays the part with wonder
ful comprehension. She acts this not
as an actress possessing great emo
tional powers, hut as would act ;i
humble born Italian girl of ready
sympathies and ambitious desires.
The evident fascination of doing
that which ought not to be done lends
George Hale into an indiscreet mar
riage. This marriage works a great
and almost fatal havoc in many lives.
This is well told by the acting of the
strong cast including besides Edna
Goodrich, Forrest Stanley, Juan de
la CriiK, Howard Davies, John Burton,
Mary Mersch and Colin Chase.
ARC A DE
Is The Haunted House In Our Town
Like This One?
Much Comedy Lightens "The Flying
Torpedo."
There is clever character acting in
the Triangle-Fine Arts play, "The
Flying Torpedo." It will make iti
appearance at tho Arcade theatre
next Sunday. John Emerson, whd
stars in the play, lightens the serious
parts of the production by little ec
centricities of manner. His rolo is
that of an author of detective stories,
who foils a band of International
crooks in their attempts to steal an
invention of the utmost value to this
nation in an hour of peril from for
eign invasion. Emerson breaks into
the most serious business before the
experts of the nation with his calis
thenics, because the hour strikes when
he is accustomed to exercise. Their
astonishment is changed to laughter,
when he explains his violent gestures
as simply being employed to clear the
cobwebs from his brain.
Our Wont Ads bring result.
Everyone knows what haunted
houses are alike. Every town has one.
Ellis Parker Hutler, in the Scptemler
American Magazine, tells about one he
knows. Ho says:
"All the kids knew about the Haunt
ed House. The way I knew about it
was because we used to go out the
l'our Mile Road nutting and then we
used to see it. Anybody would know
it was a haunted house just by looking
at it. The glass in the windows was
all gone and boards, any old boards,
were nailed across the windows, and
the doors were either nailed up or
hanging crooked on one hinge. Tho
paint was all off and the chimneys had
toppled over and the bricks and mortar
were all scattered down th' roof. and
some on the porch roof. The shingles
were nil curled up and there were bare
patches where they were blown off.
"It was a big house, two stories and
n half, and there was a porch all n
cross the front, but nt one corner
the porch post hail rotted down so that
the porch roof sagged down almost to
the floor thorp, and the rest of the
roof was all skewish. The floor of the
porch where we were was all dry rot
ted and some of the boards were gone."
! Manganese Deposits In Virginia And
! Maryland
The great demand for manganese
ores and the high prevailing prices
lend additional interest to a recent
i report on some manganese mines in
Virginia und Maryland, bv Dr. D. F.
Hewct, of the United States Geolog
j ical Survey. The demand for large
' amounts of manganese ores in this
country began in the period 1805
1870, with the introduction of the Bes
semer and open-hearth processes of
steel making, and has grown enorm
ously. The domestic supplies have fur
nished only a small fraction of the
manganese required by our industries
in 1!U5 only about 3 per cent, and
from 1910 to 1914 only 1 per cent.
Virginia has contributed more heav
ily than any other State to the domes
tic production. Five of the six de
posits described in this report are on
the cast side of the valley that lies
west of the Blue Ridge and is com
monly known as the Great Valley of
Virginia. They coincide roughly in
position with the outcroppings of a
group of Cambrian shales and quartz
ites. The other deposit lies well east of
the Blue Ridge, in the Piedmont re
gion. Psilomelane is the commonest
manganese mineral of all ores, but
manganite and wad arc also present.
The ores are nil of near-surface ori
gin and were formed mainly through
the replacement of clays and schist
by manganese carried in solution in
the ground water. Some of the clays
replaced were the residual products
of rock weathering, others were de
posited in ancient stream channels and
still others were formed through the
crushing of wallrocks nlomr zones of
fracturing. The greatest depth to
wmen ores nave hecn traced is .'60
feet.
Many manganese deposits are the
result of present-day processes of ox
idation and deposition through the
agency of nir and surface waters, but
Mr. Hewct believes that tho Virginia
deposits wero formed long ago. in
Tertiary time, and furthermore that
the manganese oxides were in part
deposited below the permanent
ground-water level, their formation
resembling1 in this particular the de
position of certain of the Lake Super
ioi iron ores.

Farmers to Get Good Wheat Prices.
Fargo, N. D Aug. 18. Spring
wheat growers through both the Da-
lan anA Minnoantsi tomorrow will
confer here on a plan to combine and
demand what they consider legitimate
prices tor their grain, u. a. Morns oc
the editorial department of the Non-
Pnvficon T.narlni Pnrcyn. will he one
of the speakers. ' The leader is the or
gan of the Farmers party that recent
ly swept North Dakota in a political
primary victory. "Each raiser of
spring wheat will get a chance to tell
of the cost of production of spring
wheat," said Morris today. "We
shall then add a reasonable profit and
arrive at a reasonable price per
bushel. When that price isn't paid,
farmers will be equipped to store the,
wheat a sufficient length of time to
command the proper price. Discrim
ination must be stopped.
