THEATRICAL news
Season Is Now Practically Over
in Topeka.
Both Houses viii Be Dark Next
Week.
LANY GOOD PLAYS.

Excellent Attractions.
Sol Smith Russell is Writing
Autobiography.

The theatrical season is practically
over in Topeka There are no bookings
for either house and they will be dark
from now on except for a few attrac-
tons which will come on short notice.
Both houses Will be dark next week.
The season Of 1901 has been a par
tlcularly successful one throughout the
west and Topeka has held up her end
of it both in the list of attractions and
in furnishing good audiences to deserv-
ing players. During Lent and especially
holy week all attractions playing here
suffered, but as that is the case through
out the country il viii not be marked
UP against Topeka Many companies
who played here to small houses under
stood that unusual circumstances ac-
counted for small business and nothing
is charged up against Topeka which has
been, and is now, considered one of the

If any criticism were to be made it
would be that during some weeks there

GIRLS ACT AS ESCORTS.
Young Women Give a Dance at
Which Men Are Their Guests.

New York, April 27.-The blue ribbon
dance conducted last evening by a com
mittee of young New Brunswick girls
in the Masonic temple there was de-
cided novelty. In reversal of establish
ed custom, the men were the guests of
the girls The young women invited
their men friends, called for them, ard
escorted them to the hall. supplying
carriages, buying flowers. paying for
hat checks, and looking after their con-
venience and comfort to the last detail
The girls asked the men to dance, and
the wall flowers We're all of the sterner
sex.
The dance was planned and carried
out by Misses Sadie Buckolew, Stella
Doyle, Grace VanIiew, and Emma
Thompson The dance was planned to
return to their friends the kindness
shown the young women during an IN
usually lively season Cards were sent
out, with blue ribbon knCtted at the
corners and conveying the following in
vitation:
Now boys, have a round with US
round dances we mean, and square cnes,
too In other words, we want you to
be guests at a dance to be held in Ma
sonic temple Friday. April 26
The girls: Sadie, Stella, Grace, and
Emma"
No young man was admitted unless
escorted by young woman. No man
could ask for a dance, but had to wait
to be asked. The young man who had
been unselfish during the winter, who
had looked after the wall flowers and
danced with all his friends was looked
after in great shape. His card was fill
ed. He was famed between dances. led
regularly to the punch bowl. and served
generously with cake. The more selfish
youth, who had been less considerate,
was repaid in kind He held up the
wall while the others were dancing
When the dance was over the young
women helped the boys on with their
coats, conducted them to carriages, saw
them to their homes, and even tipped
the drivers.

dancing to San Diego's crazy music.
The dogs were smart and did many
clever tricks. I sang comic songs be-
tween the acts. while Carter and the
dogs were resting The price of adnis
sion was low, and we tried to give the
audience its moneys worth.
From Chillicothe Carter decided to
go to the town of Yellow Bud, down the
river He bought a small. natty fat
boat from some one for almost nothing,
put aboard some provisions, the dogs,
San Diego and himself and told me to
get out and tow the boat from the tow
path which ran along the rivers bank.
I got a strong, round stick, tied the
tow rope around it, straddled the rope,
and with the stick as a brace against
my breast.I began to play the horse act.
That gave me enough horse play TO last
the rest of my life. I have never in
dulged in horse play since on the stage

was case of sink or swim, so 1 towed
away as faithfully as q mule. San Diego
fell into a drunken stuPor on the boat
and Carter roared at me if I dared 10
slow up a bit for rest. When the men
were silent the dogs set up a howl that
brought forth a Volley of curses. The
weather was springlike and warm, and
idea how long we were reaching Yellow
Bud, but 1 do know that I towed that
wretched boat almost every foot of the
way.
From Yellow Bud, where business
was bad, we went to Circleville, and
then to Lancaster, where I could no
longer stand Carter's treatment, and
left him. I went to Captain Hooper
recruiting agency. and, being able TO
drum some, he allowed me to go to Gin
cinnati with a company of soldiers, I
being the drummer boy I wanted to go
to the front with the troops, but the au-
thOrities wouldn't take me. So I worked

Bad Coon Caught.

George Smith, the colored man who

The memorial services In this city last
Thursday, were all that could be wished
by the most patriotic, The arrange
ments had been made by the commit
tee under the charge Of Mayor Martin,
and the procession was ready to start at
very few minutes after AGO o'clock
The Grand Army with their drum corps,
led the parade, being about $50 in num-
ber The Elks held the second place
under command Of Frank Gordon,
They we're followed by the Woodmen,

office employees came next, in charge OF

up Dead March in Saul" as the process
sion started and the Knights Templar
in full uniform under command OF John
Kinkle came next. They made a very
imposing spectacle. The Workmen and
Redmen respectively followed In this
second division with a number of cit-
zens.
AT the auditorium large number OF
seats had been reserved for the various
orders in the front rows, The audito'
rum was full and large numbers turned
away Prayer was offered at the COM
mencement OF the ceremonies and q
large choir composed Of the singers from
the various churches sang LEAD Kindly
Light" The band also played Luther
Hymn"
The committee on decoration had
been thoughtful and carefulin preparing
the auditorium for the sorrowful occa'
sion. McKinley's picture was draped
in mourning, Flags were at half mast
and Grape was plentiful. Rev, D. Y
Donaldson made a short but very ap-
propriate address reciting the domestic
and civic virtues Of the dead president
and concerning his dignity and temper
ance in public affairs.
Judge Madison OF Dodge City was
then introduced as the speaker Of the
occasion and delivered very appropri
ate and eloquent address, eulogizing the
president and the man and expressing
sentiments in the main that were ap
plauded by all present,
In the arrangement for these memo

To Talk Municipal Ownership

Monday night there was special
meeting Of the Commercial Club, and it
had for its object the discussion of the
subject Of purchase Of the water and
light plant by the city. L. A. Bigger
presented the matter to the club and
said that several of the councilmen had
requested the club to take some action
relative to the question. He therefore
introduced a resolution to have COM
mittee appointed by the president OF the
club, who is J, E. Conklin, to investi-
gate. The resolution was carried
As usual, the hitch will come over the
price to be paid, Such corporations,
with their stock watered to two or three
times the actual value Of the property,
are seldom willing TO sell at anywhere
near the actual value. Possibly there
might be some trouble over the bonds,
but that is not likely. The act passed
by the legislature Of 'o7 provided for
the issuing Of bonds for the purchase Of
such property and they are not subject
to the limits fixed upon the issue Of
bonds for other purposes. If the plant
can be purchased at reasonable figure,
there is little doubt but that the city will
vote the bonds.
