Old Hoss Hoey, he of t'Parlor Match"
fame, will come to the Grand next
Wednesday night in THE Globe Trotter,"
described by the press of Kansas City as
irresistiblv funny.
Louis De LANCE, well known actor, is
the author of the "Globe Trotter" which
Hoey is presenting at the Auditorium in
Kansas City this week, The supporting
company includes Frederick Boyton and
Louise Thorndyke Mrs Dion Boucicault.)
The Kansas City Star says: When
Williams Hoey ard Charles e. Evans
broke up partnership after nine con-
secutive seasons of undiminished sue
cess in the Hoyt play, "a Parlor Match"
the comedian who had become known
throughout the land as the "Old Hoss"
started out for himself. The Paulton
brothers, whoss reputation rests on one
clever thing-the libretto of "Erminie"-
wrote for him a piece which they called
"The Flams." The central idea of it was
a tramp who masqueraded as an English
lord-a verr, very old idea and prime
favorite with the Paultons. Hoey's new
venture excited curiosity among the host
of people who felt thankful to him for
the fun he had given them in "A Parlor
Match" and they went to the theaters to
see him. He was strongly supported,
but "The Flams' was not what HOey
admirers 1ancleQ anu alter several
months of Indifferent success, it was
placed on the shelf This season he has
another new piece. 1t is called The
Globe Trotter' Louis De LANCE, all &C.
tor, wrote it, and Monday night Kansas
City got its first view of it at the Audi
rum.
In the first act Hoev. sans whiskers,
is shown in his familiar tramp garb,
in the second act he masquerades
as deaf and dumb old woman, and in
the third act he is bogus English lord.
"Old Hoss" himself is always funny. but
the lines and the situations that Mr., De
LANCE has given him add little to his
natural humor He sings THE Man
Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo"
and was encored twice, and was quite
uproariously funny as the deaf and dumb
| old lady. but, on the whole. "The Globe
Trotter" was not what Hoey's legion of
/ friends expected. 1t looks as though
very plain that they want the old piece.
The supporting company includes
Frederick Boyton, NJ. A. Kennedy, Mrs.
/ Dion Boucicault and Miss Ada AleXan-
| dra, the last named playing German
servant girl in an irresistibly funny way.

OUT OF THE WILDERNESS.


Strange Profanity that Passes Current
Aonug DenizsRs of Willard.
Henry II. Hammond is young man
about feet inches tall. His front hair
hangs down in his eyes and in Justice
Growers court he wore a very aged and
faded pair of blue overalIs 40 inches
long in the leg. He doesn't look like a
person that anyone would assault inten-
Tionally.
His description Of his fight with Lee
and MahlOn Patterson at Willard on
September %, developed the fact that
the people in that neck of the woods use
almost an entirely different language
from what is known in Topeka. The
jury was hardly able TO understand it
and thought of calling in few police
court habitues to translate il.
1t was the widest kind of swearing.
When an attorney asked Henry to repeat
some of the conversation that took place
on the occasion of the fight, the jury
turned their heads away to hide the
crimson bushes that mantled their fair
cheeks.
Hammond says that Mahlon Patterson
for whom he worked, struck him in the
back of the head with the blade of jack
knife because he hadn't taken the bril-
dies oil the horses to water them. He
exhibited the wound to the jury The
Pattersons claim he is notorious fighter
and assaulted them.
The parties live near St. Marys but
the fight occurred at the watering trough
at Willard.
The jury thought that Hammond had
been assaulted, but did not think Patter-
son had meant to kill him. Patterson
was fined So and costs.

A VENEZUELAN GRANT.
The Manoa Company Will Take Posses

New YORK, Oct. 3.-The directors of
the Manoa company which has secured a
concession of land in the territory in dis
pute between Venezuela and Great
Britain will hold meeting in New York
tonight. The syndicate will take pos
session of the land this month and the
course of the company will be deter

The officers of the company are

United States in the international dispute
prompted the Venezuelan governments

interview, denied emphatically that the
grant had been made with the idea that
the United States could be brought into
the trouble.
He claimed that the grant had been
made in 1898 to a citizen of Venezuela,
and had beeu purchased by the company
before the trouble arose with Great
Britain over this territory.

possible?:

One day recently Judge Dallas of the
United States Circuit Court at Phila-
delphia had a batch of fifty-three per-
sons before him who wanted to become
citizens. Of these fifty three he reject
ed twenty eight because they were too
ignorant not only of our institutions,
but of pretty nearly everything else to
entitle them to citizenship. Judge Dali
las appears to be one of the few Judges
on the bench who think it necessary to
make any examination into the qualifi-
cations of aliens for citizenship. Were
there more such upright and patriotic
Judges there would be fewer naturali-
cation mills grinding out citizens at
the rate of one minute and fewer
manufactured citizens who not only
know nothing but care nothing for our
form of government farther than citi-
zenship opens up an opportunity for the
dirty work of bosses and market for
the sale of votes.
