BEN HUR.
Gen. Lew WaIlace's Spectacle to be
Presented in Denver.

After four years OF patient waiting,
this vicinity at last is going to have
an opportunity to enjoy General Wal
lace's great play, '.Ben Hur.'' 1t is
to be staged at the Broadway theater,
Denver. the weeks of October l2th
and 18th. Matinees will be given on
Thursday and Saturday of each week
''Ben Hur" has proved the sensa.
tion Of the century in stage spectacle.
No approaching it in gorgeousness
and massiveness has ever been at
tempted in America. 1t holds the
record for attendance and receipts in
every tleater where it has been play

spectacle numbers $50 people, includ

and attendants. The company carries
twenty two blooded horses and three
camels.
The placing onf ben Hur' On the
stage in dramatic form was attended
with many interesting circumstances.
General Wallace had strenuously op-
posed any dramatization OF his inn
mortal work. Many attempts were
made to secure his permission, but it
was not until Klaw and Erlanger had
had an interview that he consented
even to consider the matter. They

siah. No dramatization which did
not contain the tremendous dominat-
ing influence of Him could be faith
full stage portrayal of the work. Klaw
and Erlanger submitted method of
procedure whereby the presence of the
Nazarene should not be seen, hut
merely indicated by mysterious and
almost supernatural white light of
wondrous brilliancy and power. This
solution removed all the authors OBJ
iectiops, and Klaw and Erlanger were
authorized to have proper drama
tization Of the book prepared. The
question of repI esentation of the
Crucifixion, which is so powerfully
described in General Wallace's novel,
did not arise, as Kinw and Erlanger,
as well as the author, held that this
point of the book should not be made
a part of the play, nor indeed a part
of any play. Having obtained Gen
eral Wallace's full consent, Klaw and
Erlanger engaged William Young to
dramatize the book and he has writ
ten play which has been seen by
more people than any ever produced.

and forward it to destinations as di- rected. Terkalt packed himself in the box, and at convenient place on the way he left it. He then marched to the railway office, proved that his box was 93 pounds lighter thanitwasw when shipped, and demanded damages. This was done from place to place, the rail- way and steamboat companies in most countries being only too glad to settle quietly.
 Terkalt left Odessa with 19 kopecks (about 12 cents) and returned with 2,000 rubles (about $1 ,000). Just as he was about to leave his box the last time the railway police observed the singular box and Terkalt arrested. The whole story came out at the trial, but the judge, taking a merciful view of his adventures, punished him with only three months1 s1imprisonment.

The Farrell horse opened at to 5, but owing to his erractic performances he was little played, and his price gradually drifted back to ? to 1.

Tom Jenkins Loses 10 Has Been"
 Ernest Roeber.
 Ernest Roeber, the retired Graeco- Roman champion, showed that he has not lost any of his cleverness in finn ited time bout with Tom Jenkins at the Dewey theater, New York last night. Roeber, though much out of condition, went against Tom Jenkins at catch-as- catch-can style for fifteen minutes. Roeber stayed the limit and received $10O for his trouble. From the very start of the contest it was evident that the struggle would be interesting. Unlike some of Jenkins's other oppon- ents who have faced him this week, the Teuton went on top at the start He tried for half Nelson, but Jenk- ins neatly stepped away and became the aggressor. Jenkins then tried a crotch, but Roeber slid on his hands and broke a hold. At the eighth min ute Roeber was forced to bridge in or der to get away from back hammer. He was in dangerous position and it seemed to the crowd that he was doom ed to defeat. But by clever maneu- yer he squirmed around, landing on his stomach. After that it was nip and tuck, although Jenkins had the better of it on points. As Roeber had stayed he was declared the winner by Referee Florrie Barnett. Tonight Tom Ssfar- key will endeavor to capture Jenkins's $loO by remaining fifteen minutes.
 1uko Tani is doing wonderful things on the wrestling mat in England. if the chron1clers are to be believed Tani Is Jap. By his name one wouldn't SUD- pose him an Irishman, or even Ger man. He is little fellow, weighing only 126 pounds, and isn't above an dnch over five feet in height But he makes up in the number of his holds, grips and locks for his lack Sof inches. He has 5000 of these and he uses them so fast that he can unload the whole invoice in a single bout. Tn London the other night he threw four men, one after the other, averaging two minutes to the fall. That's pretty fast work, if the men were real men. Of course Tani's coming over here. They all do. And then we may have chance to see the marvellous holds that make strong men go down on their marrow bones and cry, "Enoughr' That's the princi- pie of Tani's skill When he gets one of his holds the victim must give way or be disabled. It would be interest ing to see what he would do with Both ner, for instance. Bothner takes rather kindly to the disabling thing. When he wrestled John Fleming, the Butcher Boy got a hammer lock on him, and holding his arm up his back, close to his neck, said: "Go over. George. or I'll break your arm.'' Break 1t them replied George. The arm wasn't broken and Bothner won the match.
