BEN HUK NOTES

Misses Della and Hannah Goldburg the
two fascinating little dancers that led the
Arabian dancing girls the TWO first nights,
have been unable TO continue their parts
owing 20 swelling of the ankles which
made one Of them quite sick. They tried
10 come out last night again. but the doc
tor advised them not TO do so.
Shaw's orchestra played no small part in
the success of Ben Hur. The piano was
especially well managed by Miss Lucy
Guthrie, who has been complimeEted very
highly by the management for her work
on the keyboard. Miss Lucy is quite a
musical genius and is so recognized By all
the musicians in town.
George Mold, the young gentleman who
plays Ben Hur, has made more OF sacri-
ice than any other participant in order TO
make the play success. He had the
handsomest mustache in the city, but as
there Is no written or traditional evidences
that Ben Hur had mustache, it b=cams
necessary for him to cut it off before GO
ing on the stage. Il was g great sacrifice
for il represented six years OF growth and
nursing. but he made il. and he will be
known no longer as the mail carrier with
the handsome mustache.
Bruce Priddy did not look near so hand
some in his turban and petticoats as he
does when IN full dress at society event.
The short sleeves did not become his
white arms which were so slender that Il
required II pretty strong opera glass to see
them. Then his wh.skers were eRt.rely

The county commissioners are not rsclin-

seems that there Is an eight hour law in
this state, and according to the claims OF
the ex officers every man working
for the state, county, city
or township is not supposed
10 work more than these eight hours, or.
At least, the law coHtemp plates that only
eight hours shall constitute a days work.
Now. then, from The nature OF the EN-
plOyment. the employees at the court house
must necessarily put in at least twelve
hours; for they must be there IN the
morning before the Offices are opened and
in the evening after the Offices are closed
in order 70 do the Cleaning MP il the

Vow then, the claim advanced By the ~
court house employees If It Is sustained in (
the courts will be far-reachiug in its

which is day and half under the law.
