Many of the amusements will he presented for the first time and will he notahlc not only for their great size and artistic excel- lence, hut also hecause they are se- lected with a view to their educational value. The art of i^rcsentinti; cyclo- ramas and dioramas ui)on an clahor- ate scale has advanced ra|)i(lly in the j)ast few years and the expf)sitioii will I)resent the world's pro<jrcss in this respect. The numher of applications for conccssir)ns is said hy Frank Hurt, the Director o/f Concessions, to be totally imprecedented in the iiistory of expositions. So far more than six thousand ajjplications for concessions have lieen received and seventy-five applications, involvinsf an expenditure of $6,800,000 have heen accepted. The remainder are rapidly undergo- ing the scrutiny of experts. .Applica- tions from all portions of .\merica and luiro|)e are increasing, ideas for striking features or novelties are wel- comed. .More than seven thousand people, it is estimated, will he em- ployed in the concessions district and hetween ten and twelve million flollars will be spent in installation in the concessions division when the exposi- tion is under way. Director P>urt has received hundreds of suggestions for naming the main street of the con- cessions section. Qiicago has the "Midway," St. Ixtuis "The Pike," Portland "The Trail," and Seattle the "Pay Streak." The Concessions and .Admissions Committee is seri- ously considering adopting a name that will be significant of the comple- tion of the Panama Canal, which is to be celebrated in this city in 1915. Among the names suggested are "The I'Wks.rhe Canal," "The Zone," and "The Isthmus," and "The Ditch." The whole concessions district will be three thousanrl feet in length, and will rim through the center of the conces- sions district, sixty-live acres in area. In the decorative scheme around the l)laza will be 140,000 lights, rendering it the glory s])ot of the night life of the I''xi)osition. In the center of the plaza will be the highest flag pole in the worM, a giant flag staff flo- nated by the City of Astoria, 246 feet high antl over five feet in diameter at its base. " The Concessions section," said Director Hurt, "will be one of the most brilliant and attractive sec- tions of the I''xposition. The conces- sions will be notable not only for their great size and splendor and artistic excellence of their presenta- tiffu, but alsrj for the fact that they are being selected with a view to their educational value." Christine Hill Dishes Up Peculiar Situation Christine 1 lill, who is suing the Lieb- Icr comijany for using the l)lay, Josei)h and Mis Hrethren, which play she claims she produced and cojjyriglited two years before the IJeblers ])roduced i(. thinks there is more than a jKjssi- l)ility of a queer thing ha])])ening. Dick Ferris runs a stock company in .Salt Lake. He wants to produce Jo- seph and His Pirethrcn. Prandon Ty- nan is his leading man. Now Tynan created the i)art of Joseph for the Lie- blers. Of course, Dick, being a friend of Christine, will use her i)lay, and Ty- nan will necessarily be cast for the l)art of Jose])!], (the original role) which Miss Hill claims was the in.spir ation for the Liebler play. It is a strange situation that accords an actor the i)rivilege to |)lay the .same part in what is claimed by two sets of people to be the Simon pure, real article. Frki) J. BiJTi.KR, Mrs. P.utler (Adele P.elgarde) and David P.utler left \\'edncs(lay for New York, to be gone about a month. M.M'kui'; Chick, Cleo Madison and Flla Houghton returned from Marsh field last Tuesday. Jack Le Clair has succcederl T()nv Lubelski as amusement manager of the Odeon.

The date was set because on this day Miss Marian King returned from Villa Marie Convent in West Chester and was maid of honor. Miss Ritchie said toni'.ht: I'm not marrying money and I'm not going to (piit the stage. It was a (|uiet family wedding but, of course, I was dressed in I'.ritish style. I'm afraid I bhislud when I went to the Town ( lerk to get my license, for I'm 36 years old." Watts Will Sue Kolb and Dill for Damages I.OS ANCFLI'.S. June 6. I'a|.ers have been prei)ared by the city au- thorities of Watts, I-OS .Angeles Co., against Kolb aiul Dill, the (ierman comedians now appearing here in a skit, which they call Lonesome Town, asking .$25,000 damages be- cause of alleged injury done to the little city because of the comerlians' jokes. The business men of Watts claim that the remarks perpetrated by the showmen at the expense of their town has injure<l the sale of bonds, and made Watts the butt of jokes and jibes for all classes. Mi injunction will also be asked re- straining K(db and Dill from con- tinuing the skit Lonesome Town, it being alleged that the title is a sneer at Watts and does the place an injustice. 1 Cheekiest Actor LOS A.XCICLI-S, June 12.—When Ilrander W.

Kennedy, who claims to be an actor, is accused of having contract(d for the sale of all removable objects within the house, in- clu''ing the plumbing fixtures, during Lee's absence. He instructed the pur- chaser to take everything but the walls and the roof, it is alleged. l^thel Harry more Has the Maternal Instinct YORK, June S.—|-:xul)er- ant with hai)piness. luhel Parry- more, who is .Mrs. Russell (i. \ 'i>h in private life, .-irrived at her coun- try home in .Mamoronek today with her little daughter, l-".tliel P.arry- moie ( 'olt, fully recovered.
