Glen EcL0-DoEbIe Bill

Had anyone whose ignorance of the
seating capacity of the Amphitheater at
Glen Echo made it possible for him TO
doubt the size of the audience assem-
bled there been present last night. his
pessimistic mind must have been reas- =
sured by a dozen signs. The ticket
agents pass on quickly, please the
conductors heres a seat. lady" and the
smile of delight on the face of Manager
Allen, are three things the meaning of
which not even the least observant could
miss.
AS hitherto, the performance given not
only merits the patronage bestowed upon
it, but leaves a clear margin on the other
side. The amusement-Iover, who would
net be satisfied with the entertainment to
be seen at the breezy river resort would
ruin his eyes reading advertisements in
search of a bargain sale OF postage
stamps. Last nights performance was as
fun of good things as is a pudding at
Christmas time. Clive,te was the fea-
ture. Not only does this remarkable man
do everything that can be done. but he
exhibits his prowess in a graceful and fin
ished manner that is half the battle in
winning an audience. His numerous feats
of jugglery have lost none of their excel
lence while his ingenious shadows are
even more laughable than before. Tie

AMERICANS WON THE FIGHT
There Was Not an English Gunner
i'm Dewey's Fleet

The Government is going to have lot
of fun in answering the inquiry of the
British government as to the truth of the
statement made by Mr.. Cunningham Gra-
ham. formerly a member of Parliament
that the gunners of Dewey's ships in the
battle of Manila Bay We're British sea-
men bribed to leave her majesty's serv-
ice
Mr.. Graham claimed thai each of these
gtfnners was offered f100 month for his
services. and that because of their pres
ence on the American warships, Dewey
was victorious.
No one in Washington believed that the
British government would pay any atten-
ton to Graham's demand for an investi-
cation, but since London press dispatches
say that the inquiry will be made. the
Navy Department; has prepared a state
ment on the subject.
The statement was completed yesterday
from the muster rolls Of Dewey's squad
ron. and shows that of the l. 445 men on
the American ships, ony slxty-s ven Were
aliens. and of these only eight were Brit
ish subjects Four of the Britishers were
on the Olympia and four on the Raleigh

Out on the water in the moonlight A
more beautiful or romantic situation for
young man to tell the story of his love and
ask the young woman of his choice to share
his life cannot be imagined.
The courtship of young couple may be
ever so romantic and their married life be
very unhappy. There are common sense
considerations outside of love that have
world to do with the making of married
happiness. One of the most important of
these considerations is the good health of
both parties to the sacred tie. The young
man who is in the incipient stages of con-
sumption commits crime if he marrfes
before he is restored to health. He con-
his children to early death or lives OF sick
ness and suffering. DR.. Pierce's Golden
