however, by the thousands of pedestrians
who have occasion to pass up and down
Third street. They are interested in the
signs that overwhelm the little structure.
The signs are not so numerous as they are
ponderous and unique. For instance the
Third street front of the shop is crowded
from view by huge sign of huge letters
containing the following information:
J. Manner makes boots and shoes.
''Soles halved and bodies patched"
Directly underneath this advertisement
is one to the effect that the Manner invisi-
BILE patch cannot be discovered by the hui
man eye and, as an additional attraction,
can be put on while the person waits in the
shop.
Another sign covers the East side of the
shop. 1t gives the number of the place as
go" and contains information to the effect
that no mistake can be made by patronizing
the shoemaker on the other side OF the sens
atiOnal sign.
Within the little structure. for it is not
over 12X14 feet, sits chunky shoemaker.
He is not over 30 years of age, has black
hair that refuses to assume any other DO
sition than at right angles to the head, and
black. dreamy eyes.
If curiosity prompts you to visit the origi-
natOr of the sensational signs, YOU will find
him very courteous, for he is Southerner
and learned his trade at Memphis.
He is a garrulous man and
Will talk without great solicitation He

ton of the shop, which tells the story of

more pretentiouS frame structures. To the
north and south of the door are windows of
many paneS. The windows are covered on
the interior with curtains which prevent an
inspection therein from those on the side
walk.
The name ''Uncle Toms Cabin is
PAINTED on one of the windows, while an
other sign bearing the words sample

of the building. Other signs advertising
certain brands of liquor are not totally lost

behind the bar of which stands Tom Jetfer-

recUly out of the saloon is the theater,
large hall capable of seating three or four
hundred people, with the stage at the eX-
IRENE eastern end. The place is an addi-
ton to the saloon, and was completed and
opened to the public last January. During
the past winter athletic entertainments,
sparring, wrestling and other exhibitions
took place at intervals, the time between
the different rounds being utilized for the
appearance of the variety artists The
auditors were cOlored men. while the

would pull his number six and seven-eights
head down and fasten her lips to his with
an eager, determined fasten. She'd stay
there with the same well-defined enthus-
aSm that young kid hangs over the bung-
hole of a cider barrel with forty-four cali
bre straw in his mouth. There was some
thing about that girls kiss, gentlemen, that
caused the isolated hairs ON my head to
stand boldly out In the dim gas light.
Every time she discharged wad of it [
put my hat in my mouth for fear that the
copper would hear the emotion that
swelled my bosom. 1t made me

my back. 1t caused my mouth to irrigate.

times and started for him on the eighth

There is nothing metaphysical about Mr..
Ryan. On the contrary. he is esthetic.
His hand is small, with delicate taper
fingers, and could as easily wear woman's
as Marquis of Queensberry's glove. He
has what is technically known as cone
knuckles. That is, instead of being fiat
and smooth, like Mr.. Sullivan'S, they are
sharp and pointed and have large indent-
ing power. His wrist is small and his hand
tapers toward it.
Mr.. Jack Dempsey's signature resembles
Mr.. Ryan's, but is more elaborate. 1t is
large and free in style and ends with bold
and splendid flourish, as if he were giving
the finishing stroke to his own fame.
His fist is said to resemble Tom Savers.
1t is very large and has enormous
knuckles. His wrist is of good SIZE Mr..
Dempsey has been the most successful
lightweight boxer in the country, and as a
middle-weight has never met any one who
could defeat him.
Charley Mitchell has round, open style
of penmanship, as BELTS bluff English
man. His sc" looks like the orbit of a
comet. The first stroke in his M" looks
like a road whip. Mitchell's fist is very
large, his wrist of medium size and his arm
almost colossal He is one of the best
boxers in the world.
The signatures of all these boxers who
lead their guild are awe-inspiring. They
would deeply impress the most careless
reader if read at the bottom of challenge.
They are as good autographs in respect to
penmanship as any that are put up and bid
in at extravaganza prices at auctions. They
are palmer than Jay Gould's. They show
more proficiency in penmanship than
Napoleon Bonaparte's. They may some
day be admired by young boxers in the
Pantheon of all the prize-fghters.

''At the earnest request of your presi-

tonight and tell you what l know and
think of the My Car Do, a msft Chinese
opera that has been holding high carnival
in this City during the two nights past.
Last Monday evening l applied to Manager

Severanc and fire escape, which was care

and from dark corner in the gallery /
witnessed the play. Of course had to be
very quiet and refrain from expressing my
emotion during the play. for a tall police
man with Roman nose bivouacked near
me, and 1 think his sense of smell was well
cultivated, for he frequently glanced over
in my direction as though he mistrusted
that there was sewer gas in the house.
Once, when he looked over in my direction,
l almost held my breath, but it was too
strong, l couldn't quite hold it. However,
the cop didn't see me and [ turned my at
tentiOn to the show. The ''MikadO'
is story founded on love and gall,
especially gall. 1t is played by full
blooded japanese stock, imported for the
purpose from different parts of New Eli
gland and the South. The entertainment
consists of great deal of singing and some
music. The costumes worn by the actors
are constructed ON the Mother Hub
bard style of architecture-low, slopiDg
roof, roomy bay windows and large bal
comics. Then there are beautiful stretches
of lawn. But these lawns are visible to the
naked eye only when the female Japanese
kick. The stage walk of the Mikado people
is not that cool, deliberate, blood-curdling
stride that Booth carries around with him,
but a soft staccatO sort of step that gives
you the impression that the walker has
drawn her back hair too tight, or that she
carelessly left herself out in thunder
storm and her skin had shrunk. There is a
large amount of fan in the play. The
fans are not so much hand-painted
as they are worked by hand. They are
not those large, marble front fans that
young husbands blow themselves in on the
first year they are married, but more like
the two-for-a-q quarter article that they pur-
chase in the fifth year OF matrimony. The
most interesting feature of the show last
Monday night was the kiss doled out in
job lots by Miss Bechtel, who was hand
some specimen of silk veneered japanese,
imported from the wilds of Boston. Her
name was Yum yum. From the easy
gushing manner in which her kiss flowed
out and covered the stage, it was evident
that she carried it on tap at all hours of
the day, and was anxious to get rid of it
at cut rates. She seemed to be stuck on a
long, round shOuldered fellow, who looked
as though he had got up to fire and
forgot to put his pants on. She'd waltz
over to him every few minutes and

Always alone.
AT times very neatly dressed and prepo-

street crossings the two come nearer to-
