PIOCoID,s MInGETs.

Those four exceedingly clever lili- puttan9 known as Piccolo's Midgets made prompt and hattering success at the Jacques yesterday, proving at once a novelty and a most pleasing at- traction. They are very small mites of humanity, indeed, not one of them probably over two feet and a half in height; but they work with vim and an accuracy never excelled by the most finished athletes of mature growth. The marvellous little fellows sing and dance, and then Introduce athletic feats in the way of lifting and wres- ting and tumbling and performing on the flying rings that are as skillfully executed as any athletes have ever shown. The midgets ought to prove finer during the week. More uproari- ous daughter has not rung through the Jacques this season than was heard when Bedini and Arthur did their com edy juggling. Some very skillful jug gling is done by MT Bedini, but the thing is made most Imaginable then by MT Arthur. who manages to upset ev- erything he handles. This act is a most amusing one and will vie in pop ualrity with the other headliner all the week. Johnny and Bertha Gleason re. newed old successes with their grace ful dancing and Fred Houlihan won favor with them, while James Rich mond Glenroy again made laughter ring with his unique monologue. Oth- CTS on the bill are the village choir of the original "Way Down East' com- pany, the Spissell brothers, Charles and Fanny Van, and the electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; after moons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10,

 "Aw, wat yer givin' me? Tommy is a dog, and Bill Vests Towser killed when he hears about it.''

The only ones against whom it does operate
are the business men of the city, the manu-
facturers, the storekeepers and the owners
of office buildings. 1t is theoretically so
severe in its operation against them that
strict Interpretation and ruthless enforce
nlent would result in the Gripping OF the
city's entire business activities. 1t has,
however, been construed to allow certain
maximum period Of smoke emission, but ex-
rerience has shown that this is not suf1-
cient period. and in order to secure read
justment. to put the matter on the basis OF
legal definition and to prevent the posi-
biiity of a change In administrative inter-
probation, the business men of the city have
asked Congress to amend the law in this
respect. This experience Of the avenue mer-
chants with the smoke-producing sewer en-
E.ne shows wherein 1t is necessary to amend
the law still further. Such an anomaly as
that of the occasionally movable smoke
producer being ciassed as immune because
it is not permanently stationary should
surely cause the Commissioners to recon-
mend that the statute be taken up for
broad consideration. AS long as the law
does not operate against the railroad en-
gines the city will be covered with smoke

advocated immediate independence for their
country This rather overdid the boy ora

ing about government either at home or
here They have come over to learn a little.
not so much of government as the A. B. c.
of occidental forms and processes of the
every day They should have been guarded
against the approaches of politicians. The
nursery and the school room should be
sacred territory. By and by these Filipino
fedgelings will discover that while boy ora

entertainers. and are never commissioned
to run the country.
