Kor In stitutions outside of Marlon County the same plan Is adopted, save only that employes are allowed to cash their warrants at banks, but must appear personally at these banks to obtain their money.

CAST. Frank Ware Mary Mannerlng Leonte Krone Anne ITtwt Clara Oaks Helen Ormabee Walc-olm Gaskell Alpnons Ethler Frlta florin Charles Wyngate Wells Trevor Arthur Berthelet Kmlle Grlmeaux Claud Bogel Kiddle Mark Short WHILE it might seem to the aver age layman that the last possible word had been aald on the problem of the dual standard among men and wo men. Insomuch as It relates to the so cial edict of one law for the man and another for the woman, an entirely fresh phase of tha atlas burden was presented last evening "A Man's World."" a play by Rachel Crothers, in which Mary Man nerlng has come to the Helllg for a half week. ""You can't stir up any man's life you're lucky If it looks right' on top." Is aald to Frank Ware, the woman con cerned. And she respond: "If women decided that men should be equally dis graced for the sarr.e sin. they would be." and aha refusea to change her views when Malcolm OaskelU the man she loves declares: "This la a man's world. Man sets the standard for women. He knows she Is better than he Is and he demands thst she be and If she isn't she's got to suffer for It. That's the whole business In a nutshell." Through these brief lines one Is given tha central Idea which the author drives home with terrific force. It la essentially a woman's play, thla world-old-query that all women have asked since time begun, either or the public or of one man. and It takes a mighty attractive woman to shoulder the burden of women a Ideals agnln ana plead the cause of all womankind to an audience of men and. the severest of sll critic, her own sex. Mary Mannerlng does not fall In any of these requirements and actually per suadea a few of the more docile think ers to her way of womanly reasoning. as well as giving the critical majority something to think about. hy should not humans have equal moral free dom without the woman having to pay the penalty In tears, suffering and os tracism, while the man goes scot-free? Is the query Miss Crothers answers In the affirmative by her play. Malcolm Gaskell loves a woman who has brought up his little Illegitimate son. not knowing of its paternity. When the woman. Frank Ware, a young nov elist who has suffered slander and gos sip because of her reticence concern ing the baby, discovers thai ussgen. the only man she has ever loved, la Kiddle's father, she denounces him and sends him away forever. This Is the "lesson" she would teach her sister, that this freedom of man was created by himself, for his own pleasure, and that the only way in which women can uphold the moral and ethical code Is to send the man away, and not con done his offenae against morality. Naturally the audlenci forms Its own private and Individual opinion as to the probability of such a course, but the author and the remarkable actress. Miss Mannerlng. make their points with dmlrable masculine logic and consist ency. The play la really dynamic, ana con tains a vital Idea expressed througn the medium of dramatic conflict, a clash of human wills. Besides this. It offers genuine entertainment, ranging aa It does, from laughter to tears. It is conducive to thought along the lines of an Important human complication. Granted that the thenio of Itself points to preachment and taking of sides and a driving home of a moral, still ,the uthor holds aloof with true dramatic artistry, and develops her characters and the vital conflict resulting from their opposing Ideals, with a high re gard for truths: she leaves the "les son" to work out solely through the actual dramatic medium. Miss Mannerlng Is an actress of fine qualities, heretofore known chiefly as a delightful comedienne, but she has ttalned In addition high emotional powera of most convincing character. Her playing of the role of Frank Ware Is a revelation of sincere emotion that Indicates a new sphere and a broader field for this charming and well liked plsyer. The cast Is perfect. One sees only natural, living, healthful men and wo men. Alphonse Ethler played the un sympathetic and trying role of Gaskell capably: Anne Crew, as a Jealous shrew, wss excellent, Helen Ormshee In the role of a faded, forgotten little old spinster, struck a note of sym pathy. Charles Wyngate. Arthur Ber thelet and Claude Bosel, as Bohemian friends of Frank, with dear little Mark Short, as the "Kiddle," all contributed to the excellence of the production. The play will be repeated tonight and tomorrow with a matinee tomorrow aft ernoon. PORTAGE FIVE VICTORS V. M. C. A. SPARTANS DEFEATED BY 54 TO II SCORE.

Trie Spartans were handicapped by the absence of two of their regular players, but. even with them in the lineup. It Is doubtful if the T. M. C. A. leds would have been able to make any material difference In the score, for the Portage team outplayed them In every department of the popular Indoor game. The gymnamum of the Y. M. C. A. waa crowded by an eager throng of specta tors who heartily enjoyed the game de spite the fact that the local team was outplayed. The wonderful machinelike tactics of the visitors make the game most lntereating to watch. The teams lined-up sat follows: fspartans. Position.

NEW ROOSEVELT RISES AT ALBANY Democrats Rally to Support of Young Senator Who Fights Tammany. COVETS MURPHY'S SCALP Twrntj-KlRlit Tears ' Old- llftU Cousin or cx-Prrsldnt Starts Rebellion That May Cause fcheehans Defeat. BT I.I1TD F. LONEROAS. NEW YORK. . Jan. 23. Special.) "Three cheers for Koosevelt." This Is the favorite cry In Albany these daya. Naturally the Tammany men do notJoln In the chorus, but the fact that pussies old-tlmera who are not posted Is that those who spplaud are Democrat. But the mystery Is explained when it Is understood that the Roosevelt In the case Is not the ex-Presldcnt. It Is a Roosevelt who Is making his first splash. In the polltfcal pool, but despite his In experience, he Is already showing that he knows some amaxlng stunts. The J6th Senatorial district was carverl out for a Republican bailiwick. In 1308 the O. O. P. nominee had a plurality of nearly 5000. Naturally the Democrsts had to hustle to find a candidate to taxo the empty honor. Finally some one thought of Franklin Roosevelt. Their choice was a man, 2 years old. who had never dabbled In politics. Ho Is a fifth cousin of the ex-President, but, unlike his kinsman, has always been a Democrat. He objected strenuously to the empty honor that wss forced upon him. but finally consented to run. "Joke Candidate" Wins. Once In the field, he made a strenu ous race. The sitting Senator. John S.-hlosser. secure In his 6000 plurality, laughed at the young man. But hia laughter turned to pained surprise when the returns came In. showing that the "'Joke candidate" had won by a com fortable but sufficient plurality. There are many atrahge faces at Al bany this year and when Roosevelt blew In and demanded his sent, he only ex cited psaslng interest. The Old Guard regarded him aa simply one of the freshmen." and expected that he would take orders as the rest of them did. Senator Roosevelt Is 28 years old, more than six feet high and shy and awkward In his movements. His eyes are bright and snaripy. but their determination I hidden bvesuse of the fact that he wears glassos. Still at a first gisnce he Is so mild and diffident In appearance that one Is excused from making a mis take concerning him. It was "Big Tim" Sullivan who mads the first break. The new Senator was seated in his handsome chair on the opening day of the session. Sullivan, who is personally the must affuble of men. was chatting with him. Roosevelt waa plainly grateful because of the at tentions of the veteran. Sullivan Talk to Roosevelt. Who do you think will be the next United States Senator?" he finally in quired diffidently. "It looks to me like Sheehan," Sulli van answered, "but that will not be Bat tled until Murphy makes up his mind. Don't worry. We will get the tip In plenty of time-" Roosevelt made no reply, but he brooded. The eyes behind the glasses blinked a couple of times, and he sat buried In thought. Sullivan prohe.b!y Imagined that the new man was think ing what a great man Charles F. Mur phy was. Down at the Shepard headquarters about this time, the persons In charge of the Brooklynltes' boom were about ready to give up the fight. Suddenly a caller blew In. They did not know him, but he said his name was Roosevelt. "I don't know much about politics," he remarked, beaming over his glasses, "but I'd never dare to go back to Duchess County if I let a pie-faced mutt like Charlie Murphy deliver my vote the aame as If I was a Digger Indian. Looks ss if it were time to fight." Then the tall, thin unknown Mr. Roosevelt turned on his heel and started to get busy. Already there were mut terlngs and signs of Insubordination, but the would-be rebels lacked a leader. Roosevelt said he was ready to march In advance of the procession, and he did so. And the others followed. Murphy Faction Is Surprised. The result of the first ballot was a surprise to Murphy. He could not under stand -It. Several of hie lieutenants were sent for snd the order given to "line up that guy Roosevelt." Roosevelt was cheerfully, beamingly ready to see .any one that took the trouble to call upon him. He was even ready to talk things over with Murphy when that harassed "boss" finally ex pressed a willingness to meet the traitor. ' What happened at that conference has not yet been revealed. Murphy, who waa seen later with a look of anguish on his face, declines to dis cuss the matter. Roosevelt, who left the hotel with his beaming smile Intact, refera all anxious Inquiries to the Tam many "boss." But some details have leaked out Just the same. The most generally accepted story Is that Murphy received Roosevelt with an air of Injured grandeur, and re marked: "Do you realize, young man, that you are practically reading yourself out of the Democratic party?" And Roosevelt simply beamed upon the Tammany boss. Then he replied In soft even tones: "I have been a Democrat all ray life, Mr. Murphy, and I epect to remain one. But if to be a Democrat means that 1 am to sink my own personal opinions as to what is right, and In stead blindly to follow the Ideas of some Ignorant dive-keeper, then I will quit the party with pleasure. And many others will follow me." Tammany Czar Is Angered. Murphy, who formerly ran a cheap saloon, shook with rage He glowered at his youthful antagonist, and closed the interview by saying, "It is useless to talk to a man like you." To which Roosevelt airily replied, "That Is one sensible think you have said," and re tired. The situation at the present time looks like this: If Sheehan la nominated. Murphy scores a partial triumph, but he still has a resourceful foe to contend with, one who may play hob "with some of Tammany's pet bills. And If any Democrat other than Sheehan goes to Washington to suc ceed Chauncey M. Depew, then the boss of Tammany has been "beaten to a frazzle" by a young inexperienced student Senator. Only Franklin Roosevelt, unlike his Republican kinsman, does not use the word "frazzle." But the meaning is there Just the same. Ik iW-v'.'J. Oorrrisht H.rt Sdurfacr a Mr WORLD'S RECORD GOES IrOCAX.

RHEUMATISM A DISEASE OF THE BLOOD The Treatment Which Is Most Successful Is Directed To ward Building Up and Purifying the Vital Fluid. That rheumatism is a disease of the blood is shown by the fact that it is hereditary in certain families, and that there is a marked thinning of the blood immediately following its attack. In the following brief statement are described symptoms which every patient will recognize and the means by which a cure was effected in this case is des- . cribed with equal fidelity. If you are suffering from any form of rheumatism with loss of flesh and etrentrth, and thinning of the blood, the remedy that was so effective here de serve a thorough trial. "About fifteen years ago," says Mrs. Rhoda Pettit, of Louisville, Neb., "after exposure to dampness and wet and being in a run-down condition from overwork, I began to suffer from inflammatory rheumatism. Both my father and mother were sufferers from the same disease. My right side was afflicted and bad I no use of my right limb. The cords of the limb seemed to be drawn up. Often the pains would shift from one part of the body to another and. while they were worse in my right limb, they were very severe through the small of my bark, a here was a sensation as though I was being cut with a knife. Mylimbs and feet were swollen so that I could not put on my shoes. I suffered in tense agony aU of the time and when the attacks were severe I was confined to bed for weeks. My stomach was in bad shape. I was troubled with heart burn and gas. I lost weight and my strength was all gone. v "I took medicine from a doctor and tried several other remedies and lini ments but nothing helped tne until I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I had taken them only a short time before I could feel the new blood and after a iair trial I was able to walk. The pills made me a strong, healthy woman and I am entirely cured of the rheumatism. I know I would not be living today if I had not tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggista, or sent, postpaid, on re ceipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.60, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
