ADDED TO THE KEITH CIRCUIT.

New York, March 29.--Anent the ru.
nors regarding several new theatres "a
he added o-he B. +. Keith circuit oi
continuous performance. high-class
vaudeville theatres, General Manager
T.. +. Albee said:
I'VE have been working quietly for a
long time on elaborate plans for en-
larging the circuit; bar. as Mr.. Keith
does not believe in any preliminary
blowing OF trumr>ts. he did not wish TO
make any announcements until he had
his plans completed / will say Do
however, that the circuit will be en-
larged. and we shall have not less than
three new houses under our manage
ment They will be In cities near New
York. We shall not touch Washington
or Chicago. as we have made arrange
ments with managers i'm those cities to
book In conjunction with us.
Mr. Keith Will erect "A magnificent
new house ir Philadelphia, where he
has secured . splendid location. lie has
always shown great foresight in choos-
ing locations for his theatres
of his success has been due 10 this fact.
lie has been offered dozens OF thea
tres i'm different cities, but refused
them, because the locations did not suit
him.
Mr.. Keith believes I'm the slow but
sure policy, and all the recent furries
have not hurried him or worried him i'm
the least All OF the houses on the cir
cult are doing a better business than
ever before In their histories. The Keith
trade mark has established itself firm
ly In the confidence OF the public; and
Mr.. kdth expects 90 retain that con-
fidence, which has becn gained hy civ
ing big value for moderate OUTLAY.
"One>pr two of the new hous Will be
opened next Fall The full details Wal
be published as soon as the negotiations
now under way are completed"

THE history Of prize lighting under

THE history OF prize fighting under
the Horton law is familiar enough.
The Metropolis Of the country became
the paradis, of the pug
Prize lighting became tho fad and
the great ciyy was made ridiculous to
the thinking citizen as well as Of
fensive 10 tha. large part OF the pub
lie as regards prize lighting as brutal
stun not worlny OF the name OF sport
The pugs iourished and have waxed
rich.
Prize fighting has been all the rage
in the metropolis for several years now.
Needless TO observe. there has been
Iots OF taking. and the gambling side
of ths game has been worked for all
Il was worth
The silly public has been played with
as audaciously as in the pool rooms
that represent the winter turf meet
ings.
The promoters OF the prize lighting
events. OF course, had but one purpose.
and lnat has been the money In them.
Whatever spirit OF sport ever exist
ed i'm the game, and there used 10 bo
a good deal undoubtedly, has been fla-
grantly buriesqued under the Horton
saw, and the gate money has become
the only object sought either by the
contestants or their managers.
The pug carnival has been an Of
fensive and absurd caricature on hon
est sport and on even honest prize
fighting.

ro BE Plunged Of the Pugs:

TO BE Purged OF the Pugs:
AT last New York is TO be relieved
OF the ridiculous position the Empire
state has been in for several years un-
der the Horton boxing law.
Nothing in the way of legislation was
ever much more farcical a. between its
pretensions and It's real purpose than
that same Horton law.
Before the adoption OF that extraor-
dilary measure the sport OF prize fight
ing was fairly well restrained in New
York as in all OF the more civilized sec
tions OF the country.
OF course there were violations OF the
standing law against prize fighting as
there are violations of practically all
laws.
Proverbially laws are made TO break.
But on the whole prize lighting was
quite as well kept under restraint as
most OF the minor illegaiities until the
Horton law was adopted.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-03-29

THE Horton law pretended 20 be for
the purpose of more exactly defining
prize fighting and of enabling the au-
thJrities 10 reach IL more effectively
and deal with IL more directly.
The actual result OF the passage of
tie law and, as must generally be be-
lieved unless the New York legislators
of the day were 20 be considered fools,
the object OF the law was the encour-
agement OF prize fighting.
Before the passage of this precious
law TO discourage" and restrict" and
control prize fighting, the pugs were
scarce and they were obliged 20 go to
Nevada and Idaho and such places to
have their sport.
Before the passage Of the Horton law
q heavyweight prize fight was prac-
tically unknown in New York.

JOSEPHINE LIVED FOR DRESS

Her Love Of Adosamsas and Eztssvs-
ssnee In Orssisying st.
The love Of the Empress Josephine
for dress. and her extravaganza In
gratifying II, are matters Of history.
Her annual allowance OF 600, 900 francs
was not suficient to pay for the graf
incation Of her vanity. and year after
year her debts increased IN the most
alarming fashion. Dress with her was
the absorbing object and interest In
life. and she was unwearied In her ef-
forts to preserve and enhance her
beauty. Three times day she changed
her linen. and sht never wore stock
ings that were not absolutely new.
Huge baskets were brought to her
every morning containing q selection
Of gowns. shawls and hats. and from
these she chose what she would wear
during the day. She possessed be-
tween 800 and 400 shawls. one Of
which she wore In the morning, draped
about her beautiful shoulders with
wonderful grace. Her evening toilet
was as careful a. that OF the morning.
then her hair was adorned with aov-
crs, pearls or precious stones. Tho
smallest assembly was always the oc-
casion for buying = new costume and
that In spite Of having almost incredi.
bic stores Of dresses at the various
palaces. For shawls the empress had
such penchant that she bought All
that were brought to her. utterly re-
sardless Of the cost. Tho emperor. ex-
asperated 1t his wife's extravsgance
often became angry and rated her
soundly. with the result that she went
and promised amendment, and then
went on just - before. Her love OF
dress never wore Itself out and she
died dscksd out In ribbons and . robe
Of pale rose-colored satin.
