CHAs. II. YALE'S FOREVER DEVILS
AUCTION

Chas. n. Yale's Forever Devils Auc-
ton" has always been noted for its beauti-
fu women, and this years gathering, the
management states, viii prove no excep-
ton 20 the general rule. With Phyllis AL
len, stately and tall, who is purely Of the
American style of beauty; Wayne Mayo,
piquant and pert, who favors more the
German blue eyes and blonde hair of the
Marguerite type; Mildred Holden n very
handsome brunette who might be taken
for French or Cuban beauty, but who
halls from New York City. Another dis
tinct type is that OF Madge Torrance,
statuesque exponent of the clear complex
ion and rose tinted checks of old England.
As for the corps de baliet-"I can not re-
member" said Manager Yale when
have been fortunate enough to get pref
tier lot of girls. 1t is certainly cosmopoli-
tan in its makeup, for we have beauties
from England, France, Italy, Poland, Aus
tra and one even from Russia" What
about the American girl? Well you sell
dom find American coryphees, Ballet dane
ers as class come mostly from Europe.
There are no ballet schools in the strict
sense OF the term in this country. In Eu-
rope, however, each large city has it's reg
ular school Milan, Italy, has the largest
and best. | believe. The girls are sent
there by their parents or guardians at an
early age-senerally at ; years old--they
go through long and arduous schooling
Finally, after number of years, they are
placed in the back line of the ballet OF
one of the large theaters, and upon their
own ability and hard practice depends their
advancement. Rather too slow n process
to suit the average American girl, so we
have 10 depend upon Europe for our ballet
dancers which are carefully selected by
our European agent first as TO their dane
ing ability and also as to their youth and
good looks. Tho same rule also applies
to the premiere" and. referring again TO
beauty, We have been very fortunate in this
respect with the principal dancers engaged
for this season
The above beautiful production will be
seen at Sweeney 6 Coombs opera house,
Monday February 90, matinee and night

that in order to satisfy himself what eff
feet cold weather would have on the Mexi-
can weevil. he placed n number of weeyils
In n bottle, which he then put In an eN-

successive nights had been subjected to n
temperature of 3 below zero the pests were
not affected and were as lively as ever.
1t has always been commended that the
Mexican weovll could not stand cold
weather. but this experiment upsets all

following poem, by Katharine Lente
Stevenson, was recited by Miss Zelda
Theobold, entitled After One Year in
Heaven:
HOW do they measure time, dear
IN the land your eyes now see?
Are the minutes set to the chime of bells
AND the hours to harmony?
Do you know aught Of our years, dear,
VI our months and weeks and days?
Or do you count by love throbs alone,
BY the pulsing of joy and praise?
Do you know we have walked a year,
DEAR
OF our earth life, missing you?
DO you know of the pain that has filled
our hearts?
OF our struggle with grief and woe?
Oh, what have the days brought you,
dear,
Which we count on our hearts tonight?
Have they seemed as long as Eternity's
SPAN
Or as brief as an earth's delight?
Have you learned what your heart e'er
OF knowledge and love, and power?
Do you know the why of our being here?
The secret which battles each hour?
Oh: what is the deepest joy, dear
Which has come in your heavenly year?
tonight
And these are the words I hear:
1.-THE deepest joy of this life, dear,
Is the joy all may know below.
That God has us each in His heart OF
love
And will not let us go.
1.-The wonder of heavens life, dear,
Is that it is just the same:
Twas love made my heaven below, dear,
Here, too, we serve, In His Name.
"And the tie which binds the worlds dear.
Is the tie of an Infinite love;
We cannot be far apart, dear,
Who serve, or below, or above.

WANT DEADLOCK BROKEN.
Third Wardexs Appeal to Him to
Do His Best to. Bring About
= Conference.

The Third Ward Republican Club Of
~ held its regular meeting last night
at its wigwam, and various committees
reported The members are bringing in
new names. and several were added to
the roll last night. 1t was decided to
hold another high jinks next Monday,
the 9th. Good speakers will be in at
tendance, and there will also be music
and singing. Refreshments will be
served.
William r. Hall introduced the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The Third Ward Repub-
lican Club during the last campaign
gave it's untiring support and labor to
the election of the Hon. w. D. Knights
to the Assembly from the Twenty first
District; and
Whereas, The purpose of such a sup
port was to the end that he might par
ticipate in the election of a Republican
Senator to the Congress Of the United
States; and
Whereas, It is apparent from the
long continued deadlock in the joint
assembly of the present State Legisla-
ture that there is a possibility of Cal
= -
Senate of the United States at a time
which would be most fatal to the fu-
ture of the State; and
Whereas, The sentiment of the Re
publicans of the Twenty-first Assem-
bly, District is overwhelmingly opposed
to the possibility Of such a crisis; nov.
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Hon. W. d.
knights be, and he is hereby, request
ed to use every honorable and just en-
deavor to bring about conference OF
Republican Senators and Assembly
men, and abide by their selection of
Republican to succeed the Hon. Ste
phen NJ White as Senator in Congress
from the State of California; and be it
further
Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
buttons be presented to the Hon. w ID.
knights, and that a committee OF hve
be appointed by the President to wait
upon him and present the compliments
of the Third Ward Republican Cluo
and their guarantee to sustain him IN
the sentiments herein expressed, which
are shared in by all Of the Republicans
of his Assembly District.

ties put an end to the falsity of this
sectional issue If it has a basis of
justice it should operate to divide the
State and thus give the coast an in
creased political power. Every North
ern man who votes for a Senator from
the South merely because the South
demands him-and that is the Eeason
why Grant Bulla and Bard are de-
be consistent and favor
the division of this State. The preten-
sions of the South should be checked.
It's claims lead directly to secession
from the State. Actual division of the
State into two sovereignties is better
than the anamolous and unequal divis-
ion of political honors and political
power that is being constantly forced.
If the South cannot put forward a
candidate worthy of the support of the
party or the people above all other
candidates by reason of his individual
fitness or his services, then she is en-
titled to no aid from Northern legis-

The six days bicycle torture at San
Francisco has come to an end. fortu-
nately without the death Of any of the
participants in the affair being record
ed. But every physician, indeed every
person of ordinary intelligence, knows
that all the men who took part in the
test of strength without sleep and SUI
ficient rest. have been seriously in
jured by the long race and the terrible
strain upon the system. If they do not
experience i'll effects now, they will ere
long. When such men go to pieces
they fall early and suddenly. Nature
always resents such drafts upon her
store Of vitality. If it were not for
the fact that such races as the six days
contest just concluded tend to work Off
those whom else the fool-killer would
be called upon to dispose of, we might
clamor for a law to prohibit such exhi-
bitions- But as it is, the punishment
Is sure to follow the Offenders.
