VAUDEVILLE AT THE PARK.
Weeks Entertainment Is Auspiciously
Opened Last Night.

OPS'cN AnSe ANfSnt.
The weeks engagement of the Vaude-
vile Company at Wheeling Park was
very auspiciously opened last night and
a good sized audience was on hand, the
weather conditions being most favora-
bic for a large crowd. The entertain
ment egan at $3.50 o'clock with the au-
ditorium well filled. The program
opened with Everhart the juggler, who
gave a very excellent exhibition intro
ducing many unique features.
He was followed by Miss Kitty Wolfe
in songs. Miss Kitty is a winsome lass
and made a good impression. The Nc
Avoys next gave a Hogan Alley sketch,
which was well received. They are
very clever people, and got a deserved
encore. After a Is minute intermission
Edward j. Heron and Claude Gilling-
water gave a decidedly clever one-act
comedy, "A Friend of the Family"
They were ably assisted by Miss Ethel
Wilton. The trio gave the sketch in
dashing style, and brought down the
house. They are all talented people
and make a hit in their part.
Then Miss Sophia Burnham in
songs. She is a charming little lady
and has a beautiful voice. Her songs
were rendered with fine effect and she
received a deserved encore.
The program was closed with the
LaVans, Charles and Minnie. Their
act was one of the best of the entertain
ment. Their acts were quite original
in every way and at times excruciating-
ly funny. They got plenty of applause.
The Park management is to be con-
graduated on the excellent entertain
ment and good houses are assured all
week. Special motors run TO and from
the park every evening, and popular
prices prevail.

MITTEE POSTPONED UNTIL FRI
DAY-THE FIRE COMMITTEE
SESSION.

The Republican caucus to select a
member of the Board of Public Works

death of the late Benz. F. Bachman,
assembled in the chamber of the First
Branch of Council last evening about
half-past eight o'clock. Councilman
William Mccormick presided and Clerk
Walter Worls acted as secretary. The
session was a brief one, occupying but
about twenty minutes.
The candidates before the caucus were
DR.. c. NJ. Frissell, Charles E. Vankeu-
rem and Jacob Snyder, and they were
nominated in brief addresses. A secret
ballot was taken and it resulted: Fris-
sell II, VanKeuren 4, Snyder 2. The
nomination was made unanimous and
the caucu adjourned. The election
will take place at the joint session at
the regular meeting of Council to be
held this evening.
After the caucus adjourned it was
stated that there were eight proxies In
the meeting, all in favor of Vankeuren,
but that the Frissell majority threw
them out, and that only the votes of
men actually present were counted.
Had the proxies been counted, accord
ing to this story Vankeuren would
have tied Frissell, leaving the two Sny>
der delegates holding the balance Of
power.

mended for payment bills aggregating

Mother Love Conquered.


A pathetic incident which happened
recently in this city shows that strong
will can sometimes do more in combat
ing dread disease than all the skill Of
the medical fraternity. An entire fam
lily, consisting of both parents and four
children of tender age. was stricken
with malignant pneumonia. The wife
was apparently the worse sufferer. and
her case was given up by the doctors as
beyond hope. Meanwhile her husband
became suddenly worse and died. Ev-
erything that medical science could do
had been done for the wife without
avail. and after consultation the ply
sicians decided to take desperate risk
and tell her Of her husbands death,
reasoning that the shock might kill her.
but also might arouse her ebbing
strength and assist in checking the
coma which was already presaging dis
solution.
The experiment was tried. and when
the devoted mother learned that her
death would leave her children without
a protector. her mother love aroused her
last energies and she not only survived
the great shock of her life partners
death. but she actually recovered.
