that successful film organization. He has been there ever since. Of recent months, Riley has been -winning notable success for his highly entertaining character roles in Falstaff comedies, produced at the Thanhouser studios. Born in Grand Rapids, Mich., in 1854, Chamberlain launched upon a stage career immediately after his graduation from C rnell. Success came quickly, but with the advent of the "movies," the glamour of the stage lost its hold on Riley and the veteran determined to devote his talents to the screen. Popularity marked his first appearance in the films and it has been increasing ever since, until Riley is now known far and wide as the youngest old actor in pictures or out of them.

WHY HE DID WOT RUN "Nobility binds to noble conduct," says the old Franoh proverb. "My boy," answered Senator and Colonel Baker, at Balls Bluff, when called upon to obey his own order and lie down upon the ground; '"my hoy, a colonel cannot afford to lie down In the presence of the enemy!" He was shot a moment later. There Is a story that Lieutenant Guy Preston saved hlra men at the 'fight »t Wounded Knee by' thinking of the sentiment of the old proverb. He was holding his men in the line before the Indians fired. Every one was looking for trouble of some kind, hut It was the unexpected that hapThe Indians were hovering about with their blankets about them, when the signal was given by one of them, and In an Instant every buck threwaaway his blanket and stood revealed with a gun In his hand. The redskins fired. They had every advantage of the soldiers, even without counting the surprise. And the soldier's ran. It was only for a short distance, in any case, and they wanted some sort But Preston, looking hack over his shoulder to see If the Indians were following, or for whatever purpose one looks back at a dangerous foe, saw a strap on his shoulder and experienced a It occurred to him at the Instant that he was running away with the Insignia of rank which his government had conferred upon him; that he was, in a way, the representative of a great nation, and that he ought not to run. He stopped. Of course, there was no well defined object in his stopping, hut when the rest of the men saw him standing there, without cover and returning the fife of the Indians, they turned back, and In five minutes it was all over and the Indians were beaten. It could have been nothing short of a slaughter had Preston gone with the rest, for there was no oover until the tab ' of the hill was reitohed, and that Was so distant that the Indians would have had an easy time picking off officers their favorite pastime.

A*L00K At THE EXCHANGES Varied Gleanings From the Columns of Our Contemporaries. Mr. Schwab's Salary. The report In a Western paper that Charles M.

Mr. Schwab thcreupou prompt iy canceled It anil herded the United State Steel Corporation at a far less salary, mid just Mt. Morgan wished. A few dajs later Mr. Morgan explained to Mr Carnegie bow nicely Mr. Schwab had acted. Mi Carcegle was astonished lie would never consent that Mr. Schwaa shia!<J~riot have the full : ir-ouut Mr. Carnegle had by contract guaranteed him. The next day Mr. Schwab was equallyastonished to receive from Mr. Carnegie a check for several millions In settlement for his full guaranteed salary during the life of his contract. That contract called for an annual payment in salary and profit-sharing guaranteed to be not less than $1,000,000 per Where the Uhlan Is. A commentator upon the progress of the war in Eastern Europe notes the fact that no reference is ever made in any of the dispatches from the front to German uhlans, although this branch of the German army figured most prominently in the early stages of the war. Tremeh warfare has, in fact, put a quietus upon the operations of cavalry. When the German army burst into Belgium it was preceded at every point by a vast number of horsemen and German uhlans fought with French and English and Belgians over a battle front of many miles. Nor was the use of cavalry in the early months of the war In this part of Europe confined to scouting. Cavalry were repeatedly used upon the battlefield, particularly in wooded country. The horsemen were kept within the cover of the trees until an opportune time to burst upon a column of infantry and the German uhlans, with their long lances, did deadly, work in this style of fighting. One of the bloodiest episodes of the war is said to have been the surprise by a regiment of German uhlans of an English battalion bathing in a Belgian river. After the German army fell back from the Marae and established itself along its present front, the use of cavalry, before so important, has fallen Into <Jisu.se. The flying machines serve as better seouts than cavalry; horsemen cannot charge trenches or rifle pits. Tens of thousands of German uhlans have been shipped across Germany to take part in the Itussian campnigu, while the English and French have dismounted their cavalry and are using them In the trenches. Birds and Lighthouses. It is a pathetic fact that the beacon of a lighthouse, which guides the gtorm-toss- ' ed sailor safely to the haven where he would he, should be the cause of the merciless death each year of thousands of helpless birds, bound upon long mysterious journeys under darkened skies. For I hypnotized by the light, dashed them- | selves against it to their death. Mr. I Thijsse, however (a Dutch naturalist), has j learned from three years' experimenting i that the birfis are seeking a resting place, as they fly round aud round the baffling light, and those who fall to die within ' the lighthouse gallery, or in the sea be- ' low. have fallen from sheer exhaustion. I Working under the supervision of Mr. Thijsse. and by permission of the authorities of Trinity House, the Itoyal Society for the Protection of Birds in England, less than two years ago, erected perches for birds on the lighthouses of St. Catherine's in the Isle of Wight and the C'asquels off Alderney. Mr. Thijssc's experiments at the Great TerschelHng light showed that the loss of bird life there had thus been reduced from thousands in a night to something like a hundred during the entile migration season. "Thousands of birds," say the reports ' of the English lighthouse keepers, "in- ; stead of fluttering on weary wing around the baffling light, discovered the !<>r.g line , upon line of perches and crowded upoi i them . . . Thousands of lltt'-e birds ..addled together thickly, birds of man;. | species and varying sizes, but all allkt ; ttve place."

COMPENSATION LAW UNEVEN Not Only Text, But Interpretation Differs by States. Washington, D. C-, Aug. ft— The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics has issued a review of Court decisions affecting labor, 2G5 being 'summarized, dealing with the application and construction of the laws, or with tiie application of the principles of the common law to the rights and relations of the worker. A bulletin issued on the subject states in part: The largest group of cases on a single subject is that relating to the new men's Compensation laws. The decisions on this subject range from questions of constitutionality— decided adversely in die case of the Kentucky statute and favorably in other State Courts — to the determination of definitions or of single points of dispute. "In considering occupational diseases, for instance, the Massachusetts Courts hold lead poisoning to he within the State act, providing for compensation for "personal injuries arising out of and in the course of employment," while the Michigan Courts, under the provisions of a State law similarly expressed, held that a case of lead poisoning is not entitled to compensation. "Another important group of decisions in a related field is of those determining the application of the Federal liability statute to different classes of railroad employments. Several cases are found which turn on the nature of the employment of the injured person, i. e., whether in interstate commerce or not. The Courts are not uniform in their construction of this statute, but among the employments found to be within the act were those of a blacksmith repairing cars used in interstate commerce, a telegraph lineman engaged in repair work, workmen installing block signal systems, a carpenter building an addition to a freight shed, a laborer carrying coal to heat a shop in which interstate cars were being repaired, etc. Other classes of Federal laws that received considerable attention in the Court decisions are those limiting the hours of service of railroad employees, and requiring the supply and maintenance of safety appliances. MAY 'PHONE FROM TRAINS Inventor Shows How to Use Tracks as Cables. A new system of telephone wiring which its inventor. William W. Macfariane, of No. ."08 North Thirty-sev-enth street, asserts will make it possible for passengers of a fast-moving railroad train to keep in constant communication with their homes was given a preliminary test yesterday afternoon on the siding of a factory in Frankford. As the possibilities of the invention are based on the use of the rails instead of telephone wires for the transmission of messages, Macfarhthe attached several telephones to the end of a section of track about 50 feet long and talked through the rails to New York. The conversation was carried on in if no rails intervened, and, according to Macfarhthe, yesterday's experiment was the first successful one of its kind. In spite of a number of difficulties , which railroad and telephone, engineers agree will be next to insuperable, the ! inventor insists thai his apparatus will j of the votes," Miss" Todd declares in a ! statement for publication.

PISTOR BLfiSTS TOWN T1-TH0S LOQNEY Of Its 2700 Souls, Two to One Are in Its Insane Asylum, and It's a Slow Place. TERMS SANE G0SSIPERS Culture Limited to 10-Cent Dances, He Says, and Some Not Decent, at That. Cedar Grove, N. J., Aug. ft.— Rev. George D. McCulloch, who came here as a Iamb two years ago. is going out as a roaring lion and hopes to make this village all the better for it. He preached bis farewell sermon Sunday, and Cedar Grove has certainly sat up. After two years' effort to build up the town he leaves disgusted and disappointed, he says. The whole place is a mere centre of gossip, he declares. "You are a lot of village gossips," he declared Sunday morning, looking his congregation square in the eye. "Some of you are talking about enlarging this church. What do you want it any larger for? There are 65 people in this congregation this morning. Only 41 of them are members of this church. Where are the others? "Why should you build a larger church and ask your minister to preach to more empty pews than I am preaching to now? "I came to this village with high itopes of being able to accomplish something in the work of the Christian ministry. I was ready to sacrifice myself. I was ready to give my life to this work. Did I find any response? I did not. I found a hopelessly sunken community, a village of gossips, a town where the chief delight is to destroy the work of the hands of some one else. You are a lot of gossips. Organize to Keep Gossiping. "If any organization is formed you all rush into it, elect some officers, and then immediately begin a buzz-z-z-z-z over village gossip. The officers you elected are immediately dubbed bosses. You all sit back and instead of helping you begin to knock. You tear down everything that any one else seeks to create. "We have a town hall in this village. It is owned by a private corporation. It should be a powerful influence toward a better and higher civic life. Instead "The _only amusement that private corporation provides for this village is a ten-cent, dance once a week to which any person having the ten cents may come. They call them band concerts. The band consists of a miserable cornet, a squeaky violin and a tin pan piano. The three performers play nothing but ragtime and the latest dance music. Never once are the strains of real music evolved from those instruments. You are dance crazy. The only amusement the town knows is a dance. "I have asked why they never have a good lecture or a real musicale in the Town Hall. They tell me the people would not support it. I have satisfied myself that that is true. Your limit is that ten-cent dance. "There havt been several private dances in the Town Hall. I attended three of them because I wanted to see how they compared with the ten-cent public ones. The private dances were more disgraceful than the public ones. 1 saw young women there who are supposed to be of the most respectable families in this community disporting themselves as no respectable woman should. Now They're Nearly All Mad. "I am going away from you and I am glad of it. I do not think that you deserve the effort I have put forth in lite several years I have been here. But I am telling you these things because it is important that you should know them. You men who own property here and are interested in the future of this town are the ones who are going to suffer. Unless you lift up the moral and social tone of this community you r. :e going to be tbe losers. I will not lose, for when I leave here I leave your village behind me. I have no further Interest here. I own no property. 1 am going away, and I can forget you, but you men who own tbe property In this village cannot forget. You will have to stay here and suffer the loss which will come to you from your failure to help make this village what it should be." There is a great buzz throughout the village today. Cedar Grove has about 2700 inhabitants, two-thirds of them inmates of the Essex County Insane Asylum, which occupies_one_of the finest hillsides in the village. The "other third is about mad enough to join the two-thirds. Only last Thursday the citizens tendered a farewell reception to Dr. McCulloch and his wife and presented them with a purse containing some $60 or $70. Everything was lovely then. Now that the clergyman has delivered his farewell opinion of his late parishioners they are ali sore. He will leave next week for his former home in the Middle West. He advises Cedar Grove to take its time and get a real live man who will help pull it out of the slough. _

COPS SHARE INHUMANITY Pay No Attention to Auto Victim and Charges Will Follow. Atlantic City, Aug. ft.— Two veteran members of the police department, Patrolman John Rock and Charles Ernst, will in all probability be compelled to face charges before the City Commissioners, as a result of their amazing conduct, following an automobile accident in Chelsea at 3 o'clock yesterday morning. Ernst with John H. Decker, a prominent Republican politician and contractor, and three others, indulging in a joy ride, ran down and dragged Daniel Y. Bouvier, of No. 4635 Atlantic avenue 50 feet, as he alighted from a trolley car at Plaza place. When Bouvier, who is a wealthy hotel man, was extricated from beneath the auto, it was found that he had sustained serious injuries and he was carried to the curbing. _ , At this juncture, Edgar Nusbaum and Carroll Mooney, Philadelphians, staying for the summer at No. 109 Sacramento avenue, drove up in their car and they declared today that they heard Rock, who had been talking to the conductor when the accident occurred, tell Ernst, Decker and his companions to drive on. Rock then started down Atlantic avenue, leaving Bouvier, who was desperately ill, sitting on the curb. Nusbaum and Mooney lifted him into their car and rushed him to the City Hospital. There it was found that the man had sustained a fractured shoulder, several fractured ribs and bad injuries about the knees and lower body. Henry Peterson, of No. 9 South Illinois avenue, was driver of the car. a jitney chartered for the joy-ride. He will be prosecuted for violation of the traffic ordinances.
