MULE WAS A POOR SUBSTITUTE

The little black mule which is seen on
the streets very frequently with the child
rem on his back has attained quite repu-
tation among the various east side lodges
during the past few weeks. 1t is generally
supposed that all candidates ride the
goat" when Initiated in secret organiza-
tons. but it has been bad year for goats,
and some of the lodges have been in the
habit of borrowing the mule in
stead and giving the candidate
a ride around tho hall on its back. On
one occasion, a few evenings ago, il is re-

being led by one of the brothers. Several
others were also near a band on either
side. The procession approached the
presiding officer. Suddenly tho mule
stopped and refused 10 go forward.
No amount of pulling and urging
could get him to bulge. Finally
one Of the brothers told the guide to twist
the mules tail. The GU de never had any
experience with twisting mules tails, or he
would have declined to do SO, but being
ignorant of the mule nature to resent such

The Syracuse Team Go Chasing After Faster
Time
The following telegram was received last
night from the record team now at Coro-
nado:
Three worlds records made thi, morn
ing by the Syracuse racing team. Hamil-
ton went third mile, standing start, paced,
in :3S So. VIM. Taylor and Candy Hew-

records both made large cuts. The former
time for the half mile was SO lis seconds,
held by Haggeriy and Williams, and the
time for the two-thirds was 10, made by
the Callahan brothers. 1t Ia quite evident
that the Southern California boys that Sha-
fe took with him are more than carrying
out the expectations that they had raised
by their work up here. Moreover. they
are doing very fine work in the matter of
pacing, and quite justify Shafer in coming

COSTUMES OF CLEOPATRA
The Dresses and DraperIes Worn by Miss
Lillian Lewis


Lillian Lewis
The magnificent costumes worn by
Lillian Lewis in Cleopatra are worthy OF
special mention. 1t IL necessary to see
each of the gowns, draperie, etc. in the
quiet OF the lady's dressing room to bring
out the full and appreciative admiration.
When first the play passes in gorgeous
panorama before the eye even of the
fault-tlnding art critic, the oriental rich
ness and dazzle of the robes almos be-
wilders one.
But in the dressing room-there the hand
may caress the soft, rich fabrics and the
eye dwell in sensuous pleasure on the mar
monious coloring of jewels and en-
broidieries. The gown donned in the first
act of Cleopatra by Miss Lewis is of heavy
white silk crepe, with gold and pearl en-
broideries in fantastic and extravagant
Egyptian designs. The second gown is OF
black gauze, which in some mysterious
way supports an immense amount of god
and jew els, wrought by the cunning French
artist into queenly robe. This particular
gown was one of the exhibits in the French
section at tho Columbian exposition, and is
now the admiration of the feminine world.
After this gown comes several changes
in rapid succession, and the gowns or cos
!, tunes are each very beautiful. Every
where is the oriental embroidery of jewels
and gold. Most of the gowns have an
apron attachment which was never
omitted in the toilet of an Egyptian lady
the length of the apron denoting the rank
of the wearer.
In the last act Miss Lewis wears for a
few minutes only a long circular cape
which is called the royal robe, and is OF
purple silk velvet lined with purple silk.
1t is embroidered in gold ami jewels. Tho
designs are the work of a prominent
Parsan artist and represent grifiins. SER
penis, the sun god and other emblems
used in the religious worship of the time of
Cleopatra. The robe cost $500 and is
worth more. There are on Its surface
amethysts. pearls, rubies, countless tur-
quoises (the jewels most priced by the
ancient Egyptiansl. and all combined by
the soft-toned gold into a symphony of
color.
Who does not love beautiful and APP
propriate dress? To Cleopatra dress was
as TO us, the outward and visible sign of an
inward and spiritual grace. Plutarch, the
Roman historian, surely did not give to us
an unparalleled description of the unfor-
tunate but beauteous Egyptian.
MISS Lewis is a southern woman, and her
vivacioils and winning manner and her I'M
affected. ladylke ways charm all who
come in contact with her and have won her
n host of friends from New York to Cali
forna. John Mccullough was what might
be called a paternal friend to the young
actress when she first began her work and
she values most highly among her stage
acce ssories jeweed necklace which Nc

The DERBY Winner" a drama OF
strong comedy and racing features.
will be seen for the first time in
Rock Island at Harper's theatre this
evening. and it promises to meet
with the same enthusiastic reception
here that has greeted its production
in all the large cities of the west. 1t
is play that is decidedly original in
character, and of such a genuinely
meritorious character that its au-
thor, Alfred II. Sphinx, the we'll
known newspaper man, has been
complimented in the cold steal of
the title of the play, by a piratical
Englishnan. Sir Augustus Harris. of
the Drury Lane theatre, London, has
seen fit to use the name of the
''Derby Winner, without as much as
saying, "Tbank you" to MIR. Sphinx.
The title OF the play is not more
sweet sounding than has been the
success which has attended its pro-
duction; in fact, it is a go from start
to finish. and will unquestionably
prove one of the big successes of the
season. 1t has a strong plot, an en-
cellent cast of competent and well
known people, and is written in q
vein that bars out any dull moments.
1t fairly bristles with action, and the
varied scenes of animation and ex.
citement peculiar to the race track,
are splendidly depicted in the Der
by Winner. In the company are
such we'll known artists as Arthur
Dunn, the great little comedian;
Frank Dayton. formerly with Froh-
man; Olga Verne, Peter Jewhite.
Jessa Hatcher, Max Miller, the IA
nous Dutch comedian; Viola Arthur,
a charming little jockey; Nina
Genell, soubrette; Louis X. Hall, and
Billy Eldridge.
The Little Rock Gazette SAYS OF
the literary entertainers who are to
appear at the Burtis opera house this
evening: The audience at the Y.

reading of Opie Read and Charles f.
Banks was composed Of the best
class of citizens-that class which
prefers something chaste and refined
to the vulgarities of minstrel shows
and Black Crook limb displays.
Opie Read is the genuine humorist,
and he gives his dialect sketches in
typical realistic way. His story Of
"Big Bill and Little Bill'' was worth
the price of admission il nothing else
had been given. while Paying His
Fare" was irresistible. Charles E.
Banks is genuine western poet,
with the beautiful touch of genius in
all his work. His tender inspiration,
1.-The Handsemest of ALL" brought
forth the sincere applause of genuine
admiration. The entire program
was q feast to the listeners, who gave
every member the closest attention. >
