AMUSEMENT rs.


The fifth week of the summer vaudeville
season at the Fair Bank Theater opened last
night with a company that may be said to
have made an artistic success by every men,
ber 1t was a soggy evening for outdoor
theatricals but a fair-sized crowd was at
tracted to the park. The bill opened with
the Lavelles, Albert and Rose, in both re-
fined and grotesque dances, including the
Bowery Spiel and the whrIwind, which
caught the most applause The artisticalIy
gloomy Gus" Melville, not afraid of his
voice, and the contrastingly cheerful Mrs.
Melville were neatly matched in a quaint
burlesque on the legit," and neither had
cause for complaint. The audience recog-
nized them as old friends at once The dash
ing Sadie Cushman. with her pretty eyes
and many diamonds, singing with equal ia
cility in two voices and wearing old rose
tights with Klondike costume, sang songs
and played the kitten, while Herbert Hol-
comb assisted by rolling the ball across the
floor for the kitten to play with, figura-
lively speaking. He also sang Paul Dress
ers new war song, dedicated to Lieutenant
Bagley and his mother (BagleyS mother.)
The applause was louder before than after
the audience heard the song. Still, that was
not Holcomb's fault. The Brothers Borani,
in their demon1ac revels presented pictur-
esque and entertaining acrobatc and con-
tortion act, winding up with their trick
table act, the demons disappearing and re-
appearing again to mystify those who were
unable to guess how II was done. The spec
tacular hit of the performance is Alice Ray
mond, the cornet player Miss Raymond,
drum and with the voice, gave their act in
the bandstand on the terrace, where they
had the support of the entire band. Miss
Raymond finds enough music in the cornet
to cause a grouchy man to hesitate before
taking warrant out for the small boy in
the neighborhood who practices ten hours

at that island. The fleet had departed be-
fore her arrival and she was detained by the
French officials. Word was brought to
Admiral Sampson that the vessel had left
Martinique "Wednesday. The st. Louis was
Immediately dispatched to intercept her.
Twenty miles out of Kingston on Friday
night the ST Louis fell in with the Twick-
enham. The armed liner showed only the
green and red lights of merchantmen,
and the collier kept right ahead on her
northward course toward Guantanamo.
where she hoped to be able to find some
means of getting her coal to Admiral Ger
vera's ships in the harbor of Santiago
Coming into close range, the st. Louis
surprised the collier by sending shot
across her bow. The Twickenham, instead
of stopping, put on full steam and tried TO
get away Quickly overhauling the Eng
lishman, the St. Louis fired again The cap
tain of the collier, seeing flight was impos-

butchers and meat handlers of the Kingan
packing house now out on strike. and unani-

MARION, Ind, June 13.-The indications
are favorable here for strike at the Will
n-McCulloch fruit jar plant, which has
been doing an immense business. With the
orders on hand and those in sight, it is
said to be necessary for the company to
continue operations during the entire sum-
mer, but according TO the rules of the union
they will be required to shut down the last
of this month and not resume UNI
til September. The firm has been
making arrangements for the sum-
mer's work just the same and this
means, apparently, a nonunion factory,
with about one thousand employees. Dennis
Hayes, president of the Green Glass Blow
ers National Association, is here for con-
ference with the manufacturers, and says
that he hopes to induce them not to at
tempt to continue during the summer. On
the other hand President McCulloch declares
that it is the purpose of the proprietors to
run the business to suit themselves.
