A WINTER COURSE OF ENTERTAIN'
 MENTS.

A WINTER COURSE OF ENTERTAIN
 MENTs.
 The people of Gaylordsville deserve a good deal of credit in arranging an and interesting course of winter entertainments, bringing lin some of the high class talent from the busy centers. The course has been arranged largely through the enter prise of Charles Fl. Evans and Farley Osgood. Intelligent people in a good many communities are asking the question: What can we do to make country life more attractive and break the monotony of the long winter sea- son? GaylordSville has shown the way. Let the best people of the community, that is those who aspire to the best things in literature and music, get to- gether, and by cooperation surprising results will be obtained. The commit tee at Gaylordsville managing this course consists of Farley Osgood, chair man, Charles H. Evans, treasurer, Rev B. T. Byles, the Misses Evans and Miss Gaylord. In many communities the people content themselves with the round of whist parties and dances, all very well in their way, but not con- ducive to the highest type of spiritual UT uCuCd1 1llC. uC odJ lOI oo lilO course is as follows:
 December IT, De Barry Gill Con- bination, harpists and singers.
 December 30, Hon E. J. Hill, Rus sia, Japan and China"
 January Il, Farley Osgood, "Elec- tricity and it's Practical UseS.''
 January 20. Farley A. Russell, Great Burlington, Mass, "An Informal Talk on Europe"

ST. PETERSBURG, April 2S.-Mme.
Krzesnska, the favorte dancer at the st.
Petersburg theaters, has renowned her
life of pleasure and applause and has gone
to the front as Red Cross nurse.
In addition to her fame as a dancer,
Nine. Krzesinska is 9Teputed to be the
wealthiest single woman in Russia.
She resides in magnificent palace in St.
Petersburg and has castle in Poland,
a villa on the shore of the Crimea, and
another country home in one of the Baltic
provinces. She owns land TO the extent of
l00,0 900 acres and her fortune is estimated
at S5,0o0,00O Her palaces, her estates and
her money were presents from the car and
other exalted ADMIRERS
With all her wealth. Nine. Krzesinska
has never abandoned her profession Of
balleteuse, and during the season she can
be seen on the stage in st. Petersburg
night after night.
Whenever she plays on the stage and as
often as she appears anywhere in view
of the public she is loaded with gorgeous
array of diamonds, pearls and other pree
ious stones of the rarest beauty, which ex
cite the envy of all the grand duchesse'
of the imperial family.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-04-28

Once every year Nine KrzesinslSa makes
tour to Berlin, Paris and Vienna, and
her style of dancing excites the admiration
of the most malicious of critics. She is
unquestionably the greatest Of contempor-
airy pirouette dancers, and can whirl round
on her axle so to speak, no less than 80
times on the point of her toes.
When Nine. Krzesinska travels she is
accompanied by suite of fifty-two attend
ants and domesties. She rents whole floors
of the most expensive and fashionable
hotels, gives sumptuous dinners to local
nobilities and generally astonishes western
Europeans by the almost barbaric char
acter of her splendor.
When she is in residence in ST. Peters.
burg, Nine. Krzesinska's salon is invari.
ably crowded with officers of the army and
navy and public officials. Why she has
abandoned the pleasures and Injuries oil
her life in St. Petersburg to expose herself
to the hardships of war has yet to b,
| explained.
Nine. Krzesinska is said to have frs
fascinated the car when he was q year
of age. She is two years his senior, blu
still retains her beauty, which is of tn
dark hair, red-lipped type seen most Otter
in Poland.

FIRST GAME ON HOME GROUNDS
BORDERED ON The BURLESOUE

Six thousand peonle climbed the hill to
the Eleventh street ball grounds yesterday
afternoon, expecting to see a professional
game put up by bright, snappy players.
Instead of that, they were treated to an
amateur exhibition of burlesque baseball.
For several weeks The Times has been
telling its readers what real live bunch
of Tigers Fisher had gathered together
1t has wildly recounted how they were
eating up, body, boots, and breaches, any
thing that stood between them and the
pennant. In earnest vein it has assured
the fans that the warmest exhibition OF
baseball ever seen in the Northwest would
be handed out when the Tigers came to
town, and then to have them put up such
a game as that of yesterday!
The boys were either putting up a joke
or they were groggy For month they
have been away from home where audi
pire is supposed to give the home team the
pest of it, playing great ball, and came
home in good position. Then, when 6,00C
people paid their good money to gee the
first game of the season on the home
grounds, the exhibition they put up was
fierce.
In the first inning neither side scored
In the second, Oakland went around twice
Then the Tigers Fingered up little and
each side scored one in the third. In the
fourth, Oakland scored two, and the Tigers
made one in the fifth. BY that time the
crowd was getting very weary. The
mighty st. Nrain had an attack of buck
ague or the ricketts, and went all to pieces
In the sixth inning, by reason of couple
of good hits and some fumbles by Lob
mans bunch the Tigers brought in six
runs They made one in the seventh that
tied the score, making it and 8, but were
unable to connect for any more runs
Oakland scored one more in the eighth, and

JAIL0R'S PISTOL
STOPPED RUNAWAY

As the prisoners at the county Jail were
being taken out to put in the daily supply
of wood at the court house this morning,
William Kemp, sentenced yesterday by
Judge Griffin, tried to escape. No sooner
had the prisoners reached the top of the
stairway leading out to the wood pile than
Kemp started to run. He had not run
far when he heard Jailor Lincoln's com
mand to halt, and, looking around, gazed
into the business end of big pistol.
81 was not looking for that" he said.
He took it for granted that the best thing
for him to do was to get in and work,
which he did. From this time on, like
others who have undertaken to escape
from Jailor Lincoln, Kemp will be good.
