TO SEE BLOW FOR BLOW
The COrbett- FitZsimmOnSFi Fight
in Veriscope Pictures
At the Crawford Opera House
All This Week.
Other Dramatic Entertainments al
Opera Houses for Festival Week.

The novelty of sitting in a theater and
witnessing a reproduction of an event
which occurred hundreds of miles away
will be experienced by those who go to
the Crawford Opera House tonight. The
veriscope pictures of the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons fight come to the Crawford for
the entire week and all the happenings
of the great pugilistic encounter in Car
son City on the 18th of last March will be
produced in detail each afternoon and
evening after the opening exhibition to-
night.
a remarkable fact in connection with
the exhibition is the absolute fidelity of
the pictures. Not a single detail is miss
ing. From the start the preliminaries
prior to the first round. until the excit-
ing events attendant upon the close of
the fourteenth round, everything is shown
upon the canvas screen exactly as it oc-
CURED at Carson City. A noteworthy
fact in connection with the pictures is
that in New York, Boston and Chicago.
where the veriscope had such phenomenal
runs, fully one-third of the audiences
was made up of women, showing that
feminine curiosity is almost as great as
that of their masculine brothers. The
pictures are the only authorized ones
exhibited They are fully protected by
copyright and Mr.. Dan A. Stuart, the
president of the veriscope company, will
prosecute to the fullest extent of the law

FROHMAN RAISES A STORM.
Crusade Upon the Music Halls on the
License Question

New York, Sept. 27.-The police are
evidently determined to make a thor
ough job of their contention that the
law is being violated in the presenta-
ton of theatrical productions in the
music halls of the city, which are only
in possession of concert hall licenses,
and the SNOWFALL set rolling by Chas.
Frohman is beginning to assume the
proportions of an avalanche.
Summons were issued today for a
number of music and concert hall man
ayers, and what was at first regarded
as a joke now looks like very serious
matter. The crusade has aroused
good deal of Indignant protest, and the
manager who caused it may well feel
frightened at the result of his action.
1t attempting to injure the business of
others, Mr.. Fr0hman has unQueSt1Ona-
bly, incurred the displeaSure of the pub
lie to such an extent that his own
amusement enterprises may suffer. The
public criticise the action of the police
in this matter, and it would be d1fhcult
to find in all New York today, outside
ter goerS who hesitate to express their
opinion of Mr.. Frohman'S part in TINS
matter Meanwhile there are few
who are acquainted slightly with some
of the eccentricitieS of New York ofh-
cials who smile and wink significantly
at this sudden activity of the new ch1ef
of police who is a close friend of Man
ager Frohman, the gentleman who in
spired all the trouble, because, ,forSooth,
ne desired to establish a bar IN one OF
his own theaterS, and, incidentally pc
cause another manager fOreStal1eo MIN

STOP ROOSTERS GROWING.
Rev. Mr.. Allen of Evanston, Will Ap
peal to Courts to Abate Nuisance.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Rev. Mr.. Allen of
Evanston is violently opposed to the
growing of two roosters which are
owned by William Carney, who resides
at 1911 Benson avenue, in the UNIVERSE
ty suburb. Complaint of the noise
made by the fowls was lodged with the
police by Rev. Mr.. Allen, but he was
given no satisfaction and he now de-
clareS that he will appeal to the courts.
Carney is raising brood of chickens,
among which are two roosterS which
have recently learned to crow. They
have become so enamored with their
recently acquired accomplishment that
as early as o'clock in the morning, it
is claimed, they strut about the back
yard and practice their morning bugle
calls in different keys.
Rev. Mr.. Allen resides in the adjoin-
ing house, and he claims that the chan
ticleerS have rude1y disturbed his slum-
bers- Carney has offered to sell his
feathered brood to the minister, but
the latter refuses to purchase them,
and says he will resort to the courts
in subduing the cocks unless they are
Immediately suppressed.

Secretary of War is Held Up at Cor
ner Stone LAYING.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Secretary AL
ger represented the president a few
days ago at the ceremonies of laying
the corner stone of the Ninth Street
Christian church.
The pastor saw splendid opportuni-
ty to assess the multitude for funds to
help pay for the church, and, after Sc
curing few subscriptions of $100 each
from the audience, asked appealingly
toward Secretary Alger and asked:
"Win some of our distinguished
guests do as welI?"
The secretary twisted nervously in
his seat, but the eye of the dominic was
fixed upon him. The secretary whiS-
pered something and the pastor an
nounced:
Secretary A1ger subscribes $780,"
The secretary has resolved that the
next time he agrees to represent the
president he will know in advance what
it will cost him.
