In a local paper recently, Achille |
Philion was credited with a yearning
desire to build n new theater here.
Mr.. Philion does not yearn half as
much as the imaginative reporter has
said. In fact these are Mr.. Philion's
plans, set forth in cold facts, and
backed by the gentleman in question:
Il may build theater here in
couple of years, IL all goes well. The
location intended is not the one men
tined by the local paper, or anywhere
near it. Since the article in question
was published, l have received offers
from local capitalists to buy half in
terest in the undertaking. OF course,
1 declined, because I don't know
whether shall build or not" That
is the truth about the latest New
Opera House" order.
SUCCESSFUL MANAGER.
Manager L. X. Albaugh of the
Grand Opera House, has proven him
self to be the right man for the posi-
ton. Though comparatively young
man, with little or no experience in
theatrical management, he has taken
charge of affairs with an intuitive
judgment that has knocked all pre-
vious Akron records into obscurity.
The secret Of his wonderful success
lies in the fact that he conducts af-
fairs on business methods. Sentimen.
talism in the conduct of things theatri-
cal has been the cause of many woe-
full failures. Let the artists hug to
the delusions inspired by cart" In
the meantime, let the manager see to
it that the dollars and cents are taken
care of. That kind of combination
generally wins out.
OLD TIMERS.
The cast of "a Milk White Flag
reveals the names of many old timers.
There is John w. Dunno, once a
Matinee Idol" at the Old Academy Of
Music, in Chicago. 1t would never
do to say how long ago. Dunno mar
ried the late Patti Rosa, and BIOS
somed hugely as a successful manager.
There's old Dan" Marble, a brother
of Billy" of minstrel fame. There's
charming Mary Marble, Dams daugh-
ter) and John S. Marble, another of
the same family, John was for years
in John Ellsler's Stock Company in
Cleveland and Barney MacCauley's
"Stock" in Cincinnati. That was
about-well, to put it mildly-nearly
40 years ago. The Marbles are
a noted theatrical family. Then there
is Dave Seymour, (calls himself
David" now) 1t is quite a number
of years since he began making name
with that wonderful aggregation
knownas Harvey Curchill's Comedians
Down in Maine"
HANDICAPPED.
Willis Maxwell Goodhue has a bright
farce in Hello Bill" sadly handi-
capped by the title, which suggests al
most anything except the clean, crisp
dialogue of the play.
KEEPING UNDER COVER.
The local amateur dramatic contin-
gent is laying low just now The
narrowing experiences of Tobe Jack
son and the Golding Comedy Com
pany at Assembly hall recently, has
somewhat dampened their ardor. But
the budding "Hamlets' and part
henias' will be always with us.

INVITATION WITHDRAWN.
President HoEokos Proposition That Pow

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-As som,
OF the foreign powers do not look Will
favor upon the proposition Of the Unitet
States recently made, as to the with
drawal Of certain features Of the nego
tiations from Pekin to Washington OF
some other capital and other power,
hesitate to decide the question, the pres
ident has deemed it advisable to with
draw the proposition and has directed
the diplomatic representatives of tn,
United States abroad to so inform the
different governments.
At the same time, desiring above al
else to avoid delay in the progress in the
negotiations, the president has directed
Mr. Conger to urge forward their com
pletion at Pekin. The other govern
mcnts also have been urgently requested
to avoid all unnecessary delay in com
pleting the settlement OF the Chinese
question. 1t is understood that the ac
tion just taken does not involve the
slightest feeling Of disfavor toward those
powers which viewed the matter unfa.
vorably or held back in giving their de
cision.
Now that this phase Of the negotia.
tion is closed, the officials here feel that
it would be ungracious to disclose just
what powers did not look with favor up,
on the removal plan, and they decline to
confirm the current speculation to the
effect that considerable Of the opposition

Thursday, there being presented to him
the club with which he was struck at

"To Theodore Roosevelt, from the cit
izens Of Cripple Creek and Victor"
The presentation was made at Divide,
the junction Of the Colorado Midland
and Midland Terminal roads, 24 miles
from Victor. When Roosevelts train
arrived there he found 800 Gold Camp
people with the Gold Coin Mine band on
the platform. There were cheers and
music after which Postmaster Sullivan
of Cripple Creek made the presentation
speech.
Mr.. Sullivan rescued Roosevelt from
the mob on Sept. 90. Colonel Roosevelt
responded briefly and his train moved
away amid cheers and music.
