Doy Violinist Dons Man's Garb , and , Horrors ! . Has His Hair Cut. There Is ono Infant prodigy the loss n the world , now that Mlscha Elamn , he boy violinist , has grown tired of lelng an Infant and sick of being , as uch , fondled and kissed by the wo- ion admit ers of his playing , says a xmdon dispatch. Ho determined In nd It , so yesterday ho appeared on he platform of Queen's hull with loso-cropped hair , and , discarding lie knickerbockers and sailor Jacket f Infancy , ho was arrayed Instead In eng black dress trousorH , white waist- oat , smoking jacket and a man's or- Inary turndown collar. Mlscha , In act , faced his audience no longer as wonder child , but as an artist and man. "It was simply absurd , " ho told a eporter , "for me to go on wearing tnlckerhockcrs and a sailor suit. It vas simply posing. I hate posing. I m a good enough artist to stand upon iy merits without the aid of white louses and black stockings. I want ecognltion and appreciation because am an artist , not because I am a ittlo boy. I have always hated the dca of being an infant prodigy. "I just had my hair cut au short as osslblo. Lout ? hlllr does not help to * ot ail , It does not help me to play lie violin. People seem to have ox raordinary ideas. They think I al- vays want to be eating sweets. I hate weets. Again , the ladies want to kiss no. That makes me furious. When Jlrst came over to England a gentle- nan used to guide mo around to all he concerts. .The ladies wanted to dss me , but I pointed to the gentle- nan and said 'lie kisses , ' and then I ) olnted to myself and said , 'I play. ' toll you , " Maspha exclaimed vehe mently , "I won't be an Infant prodigy , t is degrading and absurd. " HOW EARTH WAS FORMED. Professor Chamberlain , of the Chicago University , Expounds Theory. In an address at the opening ses sion of the annual meeting of the Con- ral Association of Science and Math ematics Teachers yesterday , Prof. Thomas Crowder Chamberlain , of the Jnlversity of Chicago , outlined his re cently announced "accretion theory" of the earth's origin , which , if accept ed by scientists , Will overthrow the so-called "nebular hypothesis" and do away with most of the ideas common- y held as to the origin of the earth and the other planets. According to the "nebular hypoth esis , " or Leplaco theory , which has > een held for over a century , the earth and the other planets originally were nasses of molten matter thrown off from the sun by Its whirling motion ind gradually cooled to their present condition. This theory rroi. unam- lerlaln attacks on the assumption that ho sun never had a whirling velocity sufficient to throw off such bodies. Prof. Chamberlain's theory Is that 1 disturbance was caused In our sun iy the near approach of , or collision vlth , some other sun , which drew off rejections of nebulous matter from ur sun and gave them a rotary motion > y its own attraction as it passed. Those particles of matter then grad- nlly gathered together to form the ilancts. The internal heat of the earth , says Prof. Chamberlain , developed by com pression as the body grew. The the ory that the moon once had an atmos phere , he assorts , must also bo given up. up.Tho meeting of the association Is at tended by 500 teachers of science and mathematics from the central states. Actor's Voice Stilled. The speech of an actor whp for twenty-eight years has brought tears and laughter to playgoers everywhere In the country , was stilled forever by a surgeon's knife yesterday , when the tongue of Frederic L. Power , stage di rector at the Bush Temple theater was removed at St. Joseph's hospital , says a Chicago dispatch. Mr. Power wll never be able to articulate again , the surgeon's declare , though the patient himself hopes against hope that he will regain the power of speech to some extent. The stricken man's las v.ord before the operation wore expressions pressions of cheer to his mother. A cancerous growth called for the ro moval. THE REWARD OF $200.

CRISP DAYS AND APPROACH OF CHRISTMAS HELP. THE BUYING DEGINS TO HUM The Norfolk Merchants Have Laid In nn Unusually Large and Attractive Lot of Displays , and the Streets arc Crowded With Shoppers. The ChrliitnuiH shopping In Norfolk his year began unusually early , mif- eied a slight setback on account of he warm weather , and In now on tlu > loom again bemuse of the appioaeh f the holiday season anil , too , on ae mini of the crisp air that has re- iirned. The streets every day arc lied with. busy shoppers and the tores are becoming crowded. Tht onoral prosperity of the season , ho- ause of good crops , t ( > mln to Indicate hat there will be the best year In hoi- lay sales recorded In a long time. The windows of Norfolk merchants vere never more attractive than they ro this season. Larger assort menlH f articles suitable for gifts , have been in-chased and are now to ho found In lie store windows and on the shop ounters. To attempt to mention the thousand ilngs on display for Christmas girts ould work failure at the start. Suf- ee It to say that there will ho a lot f merry boys and girls and grown up ion and women In Norfolk a week rom next Monday morning , when San- i Claus has come and gone. Tlioro will be trees In many churches nd In many homes. To the Public. The sick woman , Mm. Richmond , to vhoni the people of the city were so Ind , has reached her sister's home i San Itamon , Calif. She seemed to ppreclate what the people had done or her In her extremity anil wished s to thank them. Wo also want to specially thank the physician who ave his services , the societies who ontrlbuted and each Individual who ent contributions. The relief com- iltteo worked hard and the coimmtn- : y may rest assured that whatever uiuls are given them will be Judicious- y used. We would like to add that ho W. H. C. Is not an organization \cluslvely of old soldiers' wives and augliters , but loyal women of good loral character are eligible. Mrs. Matrau , Pros. W. H. C. Mine of Honey.

Six veeks ago she said she was going to show me something only a few people snow about. "A few miles out of Gallup wo rode nto a canyon. Taking my knife , she abbcd It into what appeared to bo solid rock. "Well , sir , what do you think It vas ? Nothing hut petrified honey. There's a vein about eighteen inches vide and a foot deep running from ho ground up through the entire side vail of the canyon. There's hundreds > f thousands of pounds of It.

WICKED NEW YORK RUINS RICH Steel Trust Heads Too Susceptible to _ Temptations Corey , for Example. 'New York city contains too many emptatlons for bright young men who attain the position of president of the United States Steel corporation , be- love several high officials of the cor loratlon , says a Pittsburg dispatch Per this reason a movement Is on foot to have the headquarters broughl iack to Pittsburg. The reason that will be given Is that the general officers cors and the president would keep In closer touch with affairs at the plants the most Important of which are ii and around this city. The flnancia department will remain In New York to be near the financiers who contro its destiny. According to relatives and friends of the Corey family In Pittsburg , Mr and Mrs. Charles M. Schwab might as well devote their time to something else than trying to effect a reconcllla tlon between William Ellis Corey and his wife. It is declared hero by thos who know that no matter what dec ! slon might bo reached by Mr. Core > his wife would positively refuse to en tertaln any suggestions which wouh tend to bring the couple togethe again. Had the attempt been mad prior to the publication of all the fact in the case , there is but little doub that Mrs. Corey would have been enl too glad to overlook whatever shor coinings her husband may have. Now it Is claimed , It Is too late. The prospects of the selection o William B. Schiller , president of th National Tube company , to succcet Corey are growing brighter every day Plttsburfj steel men have practical ! settled upon him as the coming hoa of the great concern. Ho has the bacl Ing of many of ( ho moot proinliienl tien In ( he corporation , and he In con Idered the best man available for tin dace. Few people , even In PlltshiirK , know uiieli of Mr. Hohlllor. Ho In quiet , un inhuming and approachable , though me of the moiit lovable men when tnown. Only -If. yearn of age. Mr. Schiller remained a bachelor until four eats ago , and then ho had bin 10 nance. The fortune of Mr. Hehlller IM esll tinted at about $10,0(10,000. ( Letter Lint.

RED MAN AS AN INDIAN. ommlssloncr Lctipp Snyn Solution of Problem Is In Schooling of Youth , Francis 10. Leupp , commlsHlouor of ndlan affairs , drain In no uncertain lanner with the no-called "Indian ni'Htlnn" In hin annual report , says a VaKhlngton dispatch. Ho raps the leorlsls over the KnucKlcs In great tylo , and tells how , In his judgment , IP Indians should be treated by the bites. "The commonest mistake made by ils white well-wlshera In dealing with i(3 ( Indian Is the assumption that he s simply a white man with a red kin , " Is the way Mr. Leupp opens up ils subject. ' "The next commonest Is lie assumption that because he Is a on-C'aucaslan ho Is to be classed In- Iscrlmlnately witli other non-C'auca- lans , like the negro , for Instance , 'he truth is that the Indian has as Istlncl an individuality IIH any type f man who ever lived , and he will ever be judged right until wo learn o measure him by his own standards , s wo wlilles would wish to ho mea- ured If some more powoiful racoweie o usurp dominion over us. " With the situation presented of hnv- ng the Indians in subjection , and liav- ng been pauperized and made indo ent by perpetual supplies from the reasury , Mr. Leupp says It is a won or they have not been wholly ruined , lut though not ruined , he says , they ave suffered serious deterioration , nd the chief piohlom now before us s to prevent Its going any further. To lint end ho says we must reckon with evoral facts. First , nothing can be done with the ndlan who has passed middle life. He s likely to remain an Indian of the ) ld school to the last. With the younger or adults we may hope to do some thing here and there , where we find ono who is not too conservative ; but > iir main hope lies with the youthful generation , who are still measurcably dastlc. "The task we must set ourselves Is o win over the Indian children by sympathetic Interest and unobtrusive guidance , " the commissioner says. "It s a great mistake to start the little ones on the path to civilization by snapping all the tics of affection he- ween them and their parents , and caching them to despise the aged and non-progressive members of their 'amllles. The sensible as well as the iiiinane plan Is to nourish their love > f father and mother and home Again , In dealing with thcso boys aw girls it Is of the utmost Importance not mly that we start them right , but that our efforts be directed to educating rather than merely instructing them The foundation of everything must be , he development of character. Learn ng Is a secondary consideration. "Of the 30,000 or 40.000 Indian chll ( iron of school ago in the United States probably at least three-fourths wll settle down In that part of the wen which wo still style the frontier. ONE BABY , 121 HOMES. Race Suicide Among the Rich In.th Quaker City. Babies are scarce in the homes o wealthy Phlladelphlans , says a Phlla dolphin dispatch. A hoiisc-to-hous canvass of the fashionable Kitten house square section reveals just on baby In 121 homes. At live leading hotels there Is but ono baby among the residents.
