Vendome Stock Company.

Manager wilkins of the Columbia
Opera House, has announced that the
Vendome Stock Go. will fill an engage
ment on Nov. 3, the play TO be given
being, "The Brixton Burglary, the
successful farce comedy which was
originally given two seasons at the
Herald Square Theater New York.
The Vendome Stock Company, which
Is one of the most capable organiza-
tions in the country, gave The Brix-
ton Burglary a few weeks ago In
Nashville, where critics of all condi-
tions were unanimous in pronouncing
it the hit of the season. The play
which presents an enormous amount
of puzzling and laughable complica-
tions deals primarily with the attempt
of Mr.. Septimus Pointer. happy
young Benedick to have something or
gay time ION the outside, during
the absence of his loving and trusting
wife. He goes out with a friend, who
is one of the boys meets two in
teresting young ladies of the stage.
known as 1.-The Bounding Sisters,
and there his trouble begins.
Not only the MASTER but all OF the
servants Of the Pointer household take
advantage Of their mistress absence,
to go on ''tare' and the results come
near being dire. After a ser1es OF
most comical happenings everything
comes all right in the end.
In the cast are, MIR. Walter Edwards,
Miss Mabel Montgomery, Miss Daisy
Lowering, Miss Ida Lewis, Miss Dora
Booth, Mr.. Victor Morley. Mr.. AL w.
Fremont, Mr.. Joseph O'Meara and Mr.
Richard Cochrane.
1.-THE Tyranny of Tears is not
founded on plot Of much strength.
in fact there is very little plot connec-
ted with it. The play depends for
success on the acting and only first
class company could have held the at
tention and have won the applause rs
did Mr.. Paul Gilmore and his company
at the Opera House Wednesday night.
The entire cast was strong one. and
the costuming was handsome. The ty-
ranny of tears in the home was
portrayed with trueness to life that.
doubtless taught lesson to many who
heard it the play.

Mrs. Evans, widow of James Evans,
deceased. Mrs. Evans was sweet
christian woman, consistent member

lived pure life, when death came,
she was not afraid to cross over, but
rather rejoiced to know she would
meet her husband and other loved
cnes who had gone before. Six chill
rem are left to mourn their loss. A
home without mother Is dreary at best.

DEATHS HARVEST.
Funeral of Bruce Tucker.

The funeral of Bruce Tucker, who
died Saturday at 30 p. m., was
conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. A.
Molloy, at the South Columbia Meth
odist Church, Sunday afternoon at
2 80 O'Clock. The funeral services
at the grave being bv the Knights
of Pythias. The pail bearers were
Messsr. F. d. Lander, Ernest Far
rell, Hugh Blair, Fuller Britain,
Sam Harlan and Will Reaves.
The little church of which he was
member. could not nearly afford even
standing room for the friends who had
assembled to pay their tribute of love
and respect to his memory; and the
procession that followed his remains
to their last resting place in dear old
Rose Hill, made sweet and sacred by
the ties that bind us, was one of the
longest ever seen in Columbia. When
the foremost carriages Lad reached the
summit of the Hill, and made a some
what long circuit. the rear ca rriages
were near Embargo street, and not yet
in sight. But these were not all.
Many who could not get in the church.
and others after the services. found a
near way to the cemetery. and when
the procession reached there an hun
bred or more, perhaps two hundred
people were in waiting.
1t was worthy tribute to q worthy
man.
Mr.. fuckers health failed him about
five months ago. Consumption was
the disease that preyed upon him, and
his decline was rapid.
For eight and a-half years he had
been connected with the Herald. He
had filed at times every position on
the paper from carrier boy to city
editor, and he filled every position
we'll. When he worked in the Begin
ming at so cents week, he was as
regular at his post, as prompt in at
tendance, as faithful in the discharge
of his duties-every whit so-as in
later years when his salary was worth
considering. The Herald has lost in
him. therefore, an invaluable man.
But far more than that, we have all
lost our friend. For he was the friend.
companion and favorite of us all.
Lost him from our sight. but not our
minds or hearts. The beautiful
flowers that cover his new made grave
may wither and die; the frail body
that persisted may turn back to its
mother earth but his sunny. sweet
disposition; his unselffish. loya. ma
ture the character he Duilded day by
day, and the life that he lived while
among us. will remain with us all,
as an inspiration and benediction,
even until the end.
Further comment upon his life and
character, may be found IN the edi-
torial column.

REDiESkE iS AL Ri0HT MEN
TALLY AND FiNANCiAiiY.

Owing to some stupid blunder on the
part of the North Side police. the Chi.
cago newspapers (the Eagle among the
number) were led last week into the
error that Mr.. Paul Redieske, the we'll
known North side politician and for
mer north town official. had become
mentally deranged on account Of finan.
cial troubles caused by the famous
Dryer Bank failure. The mistake was
primarily due to the fact that man
possessing a name very similar In
sound and spelling to Mr. Redieske's
had been detained for alleged insanity
and was held to the County Court for
examination into his mental condition.
Immediately after the mistaken publ.
cation the Eagle learned the real facts
Of the case, and was delighted to learn
that the story concerning Mr.. Redies.
kie's alleged mental trouble, was abso.
lutely without foundation. The Eagle
Is glad to be In position to state that
Mr.. Redieske Is mentally and finan.
cially in first.class condition, and re.
grets that 1t has been inadvertently
led into making such a mistake. Mr..
Redieske Is one Of the most popular
and highly respected citizens OF Chi.
cago. and the Eagle IL proud to he able
to class him among It's Oldest and most
valued friends.
