VESTS MINSTREL JUBILEE

of the theatergoing public that has re- gretted the recent degeneracy of min strelsy centers this season around the appearance here on Monday, May 1, at the Hyperion, of William H.

West has long held to the opinion that if the public was not soon given something novel in this line, something completely out of the rut in which minstrelsy has for years been satisfied to jog along, it would ultimate forswear minstrelsy all together. Sale of seats opens Friday. Prices $1, 75 cents and 50 cents.

ATHLETIC OUTLOOK AT YALE.
Editorial Comment in the Yale News
 Yesterday.

q Yesterday.
 The Yale News of yesterday. com l menting editorially on the athletic out | look at Yale, has the following:
 Yale has certainly no fault to find | with the work of her athletic teams on Saturday. The university nine ad-
 ded another to her growing list of vic tories, defeating Amherst by an over whelming score. The batting of the
 team, which was proven by the Easter trip to be its weakest point, has greatly improved, as may be seen by referring to the scores of the last two games. The contest between the freshman '99 teams at the field was closely fought, with a rather exciting finish. that elicited great deal of applause from the sup porters of both hines. It made one long for the old days of the freshman-soph- omore games.
 At golf Yale rather easily defeated Bridgeport on the course of the Brook lawn Country club. The team has won both of the matches played thus far, and the prospects for a successful sea- son were never better. The most inter- esting event by far was the interclass track athletic meet at the field. It was valuable in giving the university an op- portunity to see what the men have thus far accomplished and to a certain extent estimate Yales strength in this branch of athletics. The records made in the different events were in the ma iority of cases excellent, and reflect great credit upon MT. Copland and those who have had the team in charge. The relay race, which on account of it's close finish aroused great enthusiasm, was one of the pluckiest races ever seen at the field. The meet was interesting because of it's very nature, and we hope that it will become an annual event

this was opposed by District Attorney
Beck, who asked the commissioner not
to lower, but to increase it. In fur
Their addressing the commissioner Mr..
Beck said:
81 had charged these gentlemen with
conspiracy to defraud the government,
but IL this testimony be true 1t means
great deal more than this. 1t means
that they have been guilty of aiding
and abetting in the counterfeiting of
internal revenue stamps If this tes-
timony be true, think you will agree
with me that this is the most damn
able thing in your experience, as 1t Is
in mine. Both of these gentlemen
have been honored by the government,
and one Of them is still honored in
that he holds a special commission as
the governments attorney in city suits.
If guilty they are as guilty as any
who are implicated in this matter.
Morally they are more so, for they
have relied upon their high positions
to say to these men; For the sum of
$4,000 a month you can go ahead with
your infamous work and we will see
that you are not molested.'"

Edmunds regretfully uttered the words

the present indications will have
Lwo sets of candidates to vote for at

Is suicidal and will result III the

In their campaign and it will be a
fight at the nomination election as
to which candidate for the mayor

votes. The vote at their nomination
election will not be nything like so
large as in days gone by, when the
"boys" manipulated the votes to
suit themselves and saw to it that

registration laws overcome all the
old-fashioned ways of making nomi-
cations. Each candidate this year
will stand an equal chance of hay

voted. From the present outlook
the coming nomination election will
be a red hot one and may result in
some peculiar complications. A
-itizen ticket may be the outcome
Of the tangled condition of things
and it would stand a fair chance Of
being successful.

NECESSITY OF VENTILATION.
Pure Air Is Valuable, Though 1t Costs
Nothing.

The young should be trained in the i'm
portance of ventilation, for this Is one Of
the most neglected requisites of good
health. 1t is estimated that 5000 cubic
feet of pure air per hour is the need Of each
individual. In the best hospitals 5000
cubic feet is not considered too much BY
weight one-ffth of this is oxygen the life
giving element. The same air rebreathed
four times will DO longer sustain life
The oxygen has been mostly absorbed,
while waste matter and carbonic acid gas,
deadly poison, have taken its place.
We're our rooms alright we couldn't
survive. The atmosphere penetrates every
creyice around doors and windows thanks
to the law of equilibrium, and we are saw
ed from death. But whenever we find
members of a family sallow, norveless
hollow eyed, liable to take cold easily and
readily, subject to various disorders We
may be certain of one or two things either
the diet is faulty or they do not properly
ventilate their dwellings,.

THE Democratic paper that has
been preaching Civil Service reform
in our city, is the first one to cry at
the removal of a Democratic official
and the appointing of a capable
man in his place, by which another
official has been advanced, thereby
doing away with 5000 position.
The appointments have been made
in keeping with Civil Service teach
ings. But it always did make a
difference whose OK was gored.
This same paper did not have a
word to say when Republican Of
fetal was removed and Democrat
given his position. But, as the boy
said, that made difference. Civil
