Arizona republican., 1903-12-18

| iIr bouquet of funny stories, fake leg
 erdemain etc. It was not his first ap- pearance on the stage by any means,
 as he was for years doing comedy work | with Will Fox brother of Gus ! Hirschfeld and well known in theat- | rical circles on both sides of the At l lantic storage reservoir. His speciality | was dialect and the way he talked | Dutch was scandalous. It would lncite
 any we'll ordered Teuton to murder.
 But he settled the tariff question In a ! great speech that he imagined he was
 delivering in Pennsylmadelphia and | that Is more than congress has ever | been able to do. He protested, though, | against buying hides in America, cur | ing them in Germany, working them up
 in Paris and returning them to this country as French kids.
 The next number was by the Palace
 orchestra. thanks to the courtesy of | Hirschfeld & Perkins, and while it | was playing a touching sentimental piece Hi Eldred, with set features and determined look, marched solemnly to
 the front of the hall and, regardless of
 unfaVorable criticism took a drink-of water
 | It was too much for the presiding of- ficer, who rose at once and declared a | recess for twenty minutes to retire to the banquet room and, if possible, drive the horrid vision from their minds by | filling their stomachs, for the stomach | is supposed to be the seat of mans mentality.
 After the recess for the banquet, iE
 which Eoghe strained himself several | points to do things right, w. B. Cleary
 was called to the chair. The first bus
 mess was that of lining the brethren
 what money they had with them, for
 having good time and MT. Bullard
 was considered entirely too docile and tender hearted for that work. After | all the available money in the hall had been collected, Frank Holme gave | chalk talk illustrated by pictures. l.
 was mainly humorous and put new fea- | lures and meanings to a lot of time l honcred names. phrases, etc For in- ' stance. he illustrated ali of Shakes
 peare's works while you waited and lot more things that Shakespeare nev- CT thought of, though he may have dreamed of some of them.
 | Irving Andrews sang a solo that did ! business with the audience. after which l the chairman grew sentimental and | called up the brethren of the faith to | sing Auld Lang Syne, in memory of | those who were absent. for 1t was then II o'clock. the sacred hour of the fra | ternity.
 Al Sanders gave some character sketches that amused everybody and Mir. Hildebrann followed with couple
 of songs, nicely illustrating his musical accomplishments.
 The ghost Of the Miller, Eldred, Mon i ihan hog was dragged from his lair
 all three charging that the banquet had been made of it. while Hoghe declared i 1t was a hog after his own kind. Miller
 said he recognized it by the ear marks | placed there when 1t was embalmed
 and Eldred recognized it because it had TO carmarks Monihan butted in just 1 because he could and all got fined. The turmoil of the evening was | peacefully and sublimely ended by a ! couple of four round sparring exhibi- i tions. The contestants In the first | bout were Kid Gilbert and Missouri,
 a couple of thoroughbreds from Aus | trslia- They gave a good little show and were literally applauded The same liberal response was made to the ! efforts of Sherman Locke and Louis ] Loeb, who were heavier men and had |
 other. for the United States. territorial. l county and city officials were all on | guard. The Elks had made this wise | provision to keep anybody from hurt ! ing somebody. The only time when
 there was real fear that tragedy l might follow was when the two heavy
 weights appeared in the ring, for both
 wore long hair. A murmur went up | from the more timid for they looked | like football players and it was feared
 that they might forget that it was a | sparring exhibition and not a gridiron
 battle. But when In the thickest of the l fight, one gladiator turned to the time 1 keeper and asked him If his watch was
 running, it was realized that his inten-
 tions were not homicidal.
 II might be of interest to know who
 won the matches but the information will remain a secret till the judgment
 day. for no one on earth rendered a | decision. That's what made the ath-
 letes go into the game. It was a cinch | that they couldn't lose.N
