Pawls prevent the reel from being un-
wound, unless it is desired to play the
fish, when these may be released. The
mechanism for automatically winding
the reel is all contained in the hand
grip, the divided character of which
permits of its being readily applicable
to and removable from the rod when
required.

situation. fashioned after a scene in
Hoyts Stranger in New York" The
third act gives Mr. Clarke several ex-
cellent opportunities to win applause
and laughter but fails to meet the re-
quirements made by the first and second
acts
AS ssTomIxins" Mr.. Clarke is made up
as gay old man of 90. His hair and
side-whiskers are gray, but he is as
bright and lively as a few men of that
age are who refuse to grow old. When
the performance was in progress at
Leavenworth a man from the audience
remarked to the business manager that
the attraction was a fake" and that
Harry COrSon Clarke was not with the
company. Others agreed. They would
not accept him as their favOrite Clarke,
the smooth faced Jones'" SO when the
performance was ended and the curtain
rung down 'tTomkins'' stepped before
the footlights before the audience left
mentioned the fact that his identity was
in doubt and removed his wig and
whiskers. He was Jones' again for
Mr.. Clarke without a makeup will al
ways seem to be the willy drummer.
Mr.. Clarke in his new comedy has a
part that allows him to make use of his
talents as a laugh provoker AS the jol-
ly, optimiStical old father of a conScien-
tious young lawyer the comedian gets
into trouble, gets out of it and keeps the
audience in laughter most of the time
while he is in sight. The burden of the
comedy rests upon Mr.. Clarke but his
third act Mr.. Clarke and Marie Hunt as
Violent Plant" in their diplomatic love
making and 'Tomkins'' story of his past
life, won hearty applause.
What Did Tomkins Do?" is totally
inadequate as a vehicle for Mr. Clarke's
mirth- There is not a single situation
in the play which compares with the
many funny predieaments in What
Happened to Jones'" Mr. Clarke is
funny-he could not be otherwise-but
his play is not up to the standard and
those who have seen Mr.. Clarke before
felt some degree of disappointment. The
character which he portrayS is interest
ing but even that in the hands of a
common place actor would be tiresome
and dull.
The prettiest scene in the play is one
in which Mr.. Clarke does not participate
ana 1t reminds one of the charming
simplicity of Arizona" 1t is the little
love scene in the second act between
Ann Hathaway as Daisy Plant and J.
H. Wright as u. Blackstone Tomkins .
Mr. Wright as the studious young law
yer who failed to grasp the practical
side or loye-making was all that could
be desired and the naive sweetness of
Miss Hathaway was refreshing
Mr. Clarke has a big task before him
to reconstruct 'tTomkins." It is an un-
dertaking that Augustus Thomas or
George Lederer might shink from but
Mr. Clarke says he can do it and he
does not often fail in what he under
takes After ''TomlxinsH has been made
over" Topeka wants to see him again.
The dresses worn by the young ladies
change for every act Miss Marie Hunts
costumes were all said to be made at
Worth and the dress she wore in the last
act cost 5000.

" What Did Tomkins DOo Seen

Large Audience Hears the Pop
ular Comedian.
PIECE is NOT GOOD.
Suffers by Comparison With
"What Happened to Jones.''
Mr.. Clarke Is Busy Reconstruct
ing the Play.

Very few actors could have drawn a
good audience at an opera house last
night in spite of the bad weather and
the counter attraction at the Auditor
ium. But Harry Corson Clarke did. He

1t was the first performance in To-

was given in Sedalia this week. Mr.
Clarke complains that the piece must

new productions. He is not satisfied
with the third act and all yesterday af-
ternoon in their room at the hotel Mr.. J.

HELMETS MUST GO.
Gotham's Street Cleaning Brigade to
Wear Hats Hereafter.

New York, Sept. 2s.-The white
wings of New York are doomed in
pending order from Percival E. Maggie,
commissioner of street cleaning. The
commissioner intends to put an end to
this distinctive feature of municipal life
and will substitute for the immaculate
helmets introduced by Col. Waring,
slouchy hats Of brown felt.
This order will be issued because of
protests from labor organizations, which
have informed the commissioner that
because the helmets are made by union
men they should be set aside as part
of the street cleaners uniform.
When Col. Waring planned his white
winged regiment the helmets were re-
garded as a most important adjunct OF
the costume They are made with a
small knob on the top and differ only
slightly from the helmets worn by the
regular soldiers of England But they
have been put under the ban of Com
missioner Maggie, who said:
These helmets are heavy. / can not
see that they are pretty or that they do
any good. A rough brown hat would
last longer; it would not get dirty so
soon. The men on the uniformed force
say they would like hats better.
Il have heard from the Knights Of
Labor and from other labor Organiza-
tons many times lately and have about
made up my mind to the change"
Employees of the department trained
under Col. Warning will make a strong
protest against the introduction of a
brown felt hat in the place of the he'll
met.

LOUISIANA RIOT.
White Man Killed in Attempt to
Lynch q Negro.

Houston Tex Sept. ga special from
Lake Charles, La, says.
All day there were rumors OF the prob
able lynching of Pierce Scott, a negro
in Jail here charged with criminal assault
on Miss Oswald, aged %, a sister of Mrs
Judge German. About o'clock an I'M
masked crowd gathered al the court
house. One of the crowd called for Sher-
iff Perkins and demanded the keys to the
jail. In the meantime Judge Miller adj
dressed the crowd and told them the pun
ishment of criminals must be left to the
courts in Calcasieu parish. He then rea-
soned individually with the nephews Of
the negro's victim. Judge Miller urged
the crowd to dispense and promised TO
take the case against the negro up in
the court tomorrow morning. On this
promise the crowd broke up, and it was
thought there would be no further at
tempts by the mob.
At II o'clock, however. a fresh outbreak
was made by the mob, which advanced
toward the jail With iron battering
ram fifteen feet long and three inches in
diameter.
d. s. A. Harmon and Paul Sloan, dep
uty sheriffs inside the jail, warned them
to come no further and then shot over
their heads, when some one in the mob
fired at the deputies Paul Sloan was shot
and fatally wounded. He died at lis this
fFriday) morning. The sheriff and depu-
ties outside the Jail then dispersed the
crowd at the point of their pistols, and
members of the mob began to call for
the arrest of those who shot Sloan. Sew
eral members of the mob who were known
to have been armed were arrested.

SPIRITUAL PHILOSOPHY.
Mr.. Carpenter Will Define the Occult
Science.


There is something mysterious about
Spiritualisn, and yet SO strongly are
the majority of us impregnated with
skepticism that we are unwilling to ac-
cept as a fact even the demonstrations
which we see with our own eyes. sun
day night, Sept. 80, at the Grand Opera
House, DR.. Carpenter, the eminent spirit
medium will give a seance for the pur-
pose of demonstrating spirit power in
the light.
1t is an established fact conceded by
critics that DIR. Carpenter has done
more for the cause he represents among
scientists than any medium since the
days of Daniel Hume" as he is posi-
lively the only medium who has the en-
dorsement of the Royal Society of Lon
don, they having for three months
tested him in every conceivable manner
that human ingenuity could suggest and
at the finish presented him with a
parchment certifying that the manifes-
tations given in their presence were be-
yond human aid. He has also appeared
before such scientists as Prof. VIM
Crooks, Wallace, Sargent Cox, and
Ionides, the Greek philosopher. PROF
Alex Aksakof, the Russian scientist.
where his marvellous experiments have
made him a familiar figure in scientific
circles. A small admission will be
charged.
