The honor Of sustaining the amusing
side Of the celebration Of President
Shows birthday at the Bee Hive
house yesterday. fell mostly upon b.
Morris Young, who not only as Pattlrinl
the Italian prlma dona exhibited a
good falsetto voice and the ability 20
sustain female character but he
eonyulsed the company In the dellnea-
ton Of Chinese character There was
no one present who could prove that he
was not talking In Chinese, because no
one understood that language but he
gibbered away in lingo that sounded
very much like the vern0Gular of the
celestlas. He was not permitted TO
stop with one effort but the company
asked for more OF Il. The second time
he carried on a political discussion that
was supposed to have taken place be-
tween two Cinnamon ON n train. One
had q very deep basso voice. while the
other had high treble, and the man
ner In which Mr.. Young carried the
animated debate out was amusing In
the extreme. and marked him as a man
Of unusual talent In that line.

worthy OF mentv was the whistIing
solo, BY Mrs. lie Rot Snow. She rem
dered the 'Mocking Bird" In notes as
sweet and clear as the winged whistler
