CLEMENT HAS THE TOWN.
The Talented Actor Gracefully Thanks
His Audience for Encouragement.

Clay Clement and his clever company
gave a presentation of THE New Domin-
ion" at English's last night which was fully
up to the high standard established by them
on their visit to this city last season. The
applause was at all times generous, but
at the close of the third act it became so
intense as to bring out, first the rest of the
company and finally Mr. Clement himself,
who bowed his appreciation. The applause
continuing, he appeared once more, bowling
and smiling, but the audience seemed to de-
sire something more of him and he yielded
to the demand for a speech Mr. Clement
was so overcome by the ovation that for
time his language was somewhat discon-
nected. The idea he intended to convey,
however. was that several years ago. while
playing in Seattle, he received applause

found him guilty without recommendation.
Judge Falligant sentenced him to a term
of five years in the penitentiary In the

LAwToN CADETS STILL ACTIVE.
Successors to the Officers Gone with
the Guards.

The retiring members of the Lawton Ca
| dejs those who have gone to Company d
Of The Guards, retain their interest in their
former command. They leave it with a
membership of thirty boys, and 1t is quite
safe to suppose that the roll will soon en-
brace what has about been determined
upon as the maximum forty names. The
old members are wen pleased with the
new ones who have Joined.
Capt. w. L. Pritchard of the Cadets
has become Lieut. Pntchard Of the Guards
lie is succeeded by Capt. Ralph Meldrim,
who, his many friends believe, will make
a worthy successor 10 Capt. Pritchard.
CAPT. Meidrim was a member of the Ca
diets before The majority of their members
went to Company u. lie has been regarded
as one of the best of the young soldiers,
and his election to the place Of honor was
a well deserved compliment.
The new element in the Cadets has also
chosen heuienants and other officers.
Capt. Meldrim will have First Lieutenant
Walter Hayward and Second Lieutenant
Lambert Coburn TO assist him in the drll
and instruction of his men, While the 9TH
er interests of the company viii be sought
by Secretary Charles Strong and Treas
urer Gustave Robertson.
The new company OF Cadets is left in
far better shape than their predecessors
were in when they Undertook the organ
ization of the command Capt. Pritchard
and his retiring members were determined
that everything possible should be done
for the perpetua don of the company they
loved so well. They accordingly decided to
leave their accouirements complete for the
use of their successors.
one of the most cherished of the pos
sessions of the Lawton Cadets Is their
nag. That was left the new company by
the old members. They also turned over
guns, belts, uniforms and their entire
equipment. The new command will be
confronted with no expense, as the men,
bers viii have all equipment needed. 1t
has therefore, been found possible to re-
duce the dues for membership from 81 a
year TO g. Company DIS room win be
used by the Cadets for assemblies, there
by relieving them of armory rent.
Another important change in the rules
of the company is that relative to the
age of its members. No boy will be al
lowed to Join who is more than II, nor
will any member be allowed to retain his
membership after he passes that age No
minimum age Is set, but no boy can be-
long to the company who Is not five feet
in hight.
The retiring members of the Cadets have
determined to compliment their successors
and their many friends with a hop. Invi-
tations for the affair will soon be sent
out. 1t win not be a military hop. as uni
forms win not be worn. The affair will
be held at the Guards Hall, and the time
has been fixed for Ian 2
