A second and greater triumph was
scored at the Lyceum last night by the
Elks' annual show, "a Night in Bo-
hemia," and the large audience saw an
entertainment which had improved with
repetition. The rough-rfding girls drill
which was not altogether successful upon
the first night went like a machine last
night and was greeted with the most en-

This was true also, Of many of the
specialties, especially the Sunbeam Sue

Mrs. Fl. B. Richardson and the buck and
wing dancing by little Raymond Moore
and the ensemble dancing of the "entire

A Frightful Accident.

A laborer was on his way to his
work the other morning as through"
train was about to pass little station,
where a crowd had assembled for the
way train, due in a few moments.
A child who had strayed to the edge
of the platform seemed about to lose
her balance in her effort to get good
view of the oncoming engine.
Quick as a fash the workman jump
ed forward. tossed the child back to
place of safety, and was himself
grazed by the cylinder, which rolled
him over on the platform pretty rough
ly.
Several people FASTENED to his as
sistance, but he rose uuinjured, al
though with a face expressive of
grave concern.

did you ever know the origin of
the word 'bughouse' ?" said Tom Ernst,
a prominent member of the Musicians
Union, to some friends. "Well, a few
years ago L was playing clarinet in the
orchestra of a theater in Oakland.
We had a little old German playing
viola, who loved only his instrument
and himself He was altogether too
quiet to suit the drummer, who was
always up to something, from trying
some ones instrument up and hang
ing It in the flies to mailing a plum
hat to the wall-vhich he once did be-
cause his cornet player had the temer-
ity to wear It
"It was the season fer the big brown
electric light bugs, as they are called,
and the chance to do something to the
viola player was not to be lost to Mr..
Drummer He gathered a dozen or
two Of the big beetles and before the
musicians arrived one evening squeezed
them through the sound holes into the
viola. Nothing happened until the
leader dropped his baton for the first
note of the overture, and then-whang
went the bugs as the bugs struck the
strings. The little German if not bug
house was not far off. He nearly fell
off his seat and on partly recovering
composure began swearing loudly in
German. When the overture ended
the only explanation that could be OBJ
tanned for his cratic conduct was:

Scandals in Indian Territory.

of the matter, but the Republican ma
jority in Congress passed a substitute

Taxing the Filipinos.

The poverty of the Filipinos has
been constantly kept before us by
Governor, now Secretary Taft, and In
and out of season he has been plead
ing with Congress for reduction OF
the tariff and for permission to issue
bonds, so that large public improve
ments might stimulate trade. Now
from St Louis comes the information
that the expenditure of $1,600,000 will
be probably made for the Philippine
exhibit at the St Louis exposition.
What, as originally planned, was to
cost $250,0O0 already had approached
the million mark, and that it will re-
Quire 100000 to carry ON the Philip
pine exhibit, including all salaries and
at the close Of the fair transport the
natives back to the islands.
With thousands of Filipinos on the
verge of starving, it would seem TO be
crime to expend the money wrung
from them by taxation to make an
exhibit so much beyond their means.

ficials who have authorized this I'M
called-for expenditure, and an investi-
cation would doubtless expose a scan
dial of magnitude. The heartlessness
of such an enormous waste of money
is apparent when at the same time
bonds or certificates of Indebtedness
have just been sold to keep the Philip
pine government from bankruptcy,
which will have to be repaid by in
creased taxation. That the Filipinos
will gain anything by the great ex-
penditure is so doubtful that 1t cannot
be believed that the exhibit has been
undertaken for their benefit. There
must be an exploiting syndicate or
other graft game in the background
that will reap the Profit.
The War Department is run on such
an eXtravagant basis that matter of
million or two evidently seems moth

how the Philippine funds shall be ex-
pended, and when the matter is finally
investigated, another scandal will be
added which will probably excel those

Grandson of Queen Victoria Made
Profit Dat of Her Letter.
The late Queen Victoria seems to
pocket money of her grandchildren,
says Success. She held them to strict
accounting in the matter of expendl-
ture, and if they did not make their al
lowances last over a specific period she
sternly called them to account. One
week when the present Prince Of
Wales was at Elton candy, tarts and
other schoolboy delights proved his
financial undoing. He had spent a
months allowance in one week. With
impecuniosity and indigestion came re-
pentance. Accordingly he wrote long
mea culpa to his grandmother, confess
ing his fault, and asking for an adj
vance on account of the next INSTALL
ment of pocket money. In reply he re-
ceived long letter of admonition from
the queen, refusing his request. The
letter closed with sentence in which
the writer expressed the pain that it
gave her in having so to write to him.
A few days later her majesty receiv-
ed another letter from the future heir
to the British throne. 1t ran much like
this:
Dear Grandmother: Yours received.
Please don't bother any more about
me. I'm all right now. I sold your

touched the golden key which opened
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition ut
ST. Louis, held to commemorate one OF
the greatest achievements of Thomas
jefferson; but an achievement which
Jefferson himself in writing his own
epitaph, omitted to mention in com
parison with the authorship Of the
Declaration of Independence and the
Statute for Establishing Religious
Freedom in Virginia. Yet, considering
with reference to our national security
and prosperity. the acquisition of the
Louisiana territory, carrying with 1t
the control of the Mississippi River
and the Gulf Of Mexico, was undoubt-
eddy the greatest triumph of peaceful
diplomacy recorded in history, ancient
or modern. But there is a strange
irony in the fact that Theodore Roose-
welt should have been designated by
fate, as a successor of jefferson. to
inaugurate the ceremonies in honor of
Jefferson's greatest diplomatic work,
and then publicly, before the world, to
give the lie 10 his own calumnies Of
the founder of the Democratic party.
For Of all the malignant villifers of
Jefferson, President Roosevelt mas
been the most rancorously malignant.
In his published books. The Winning
of the West" Thomas II. Benton"
and Naval War of 1872" he has de-
nounced Jefferson as .'vascillating." as
'umid," as "a shifty doctrinaire as
incompetent" ''ungrateful." 'intTigu-
ing as secretly aiding the French
as "constitutionally unable TO put the
proper value ON truthfulness," that he
was the most incapable executive
that ever filed the presidential chair
and that Ibis whole influence was dis

That President Roosevelt, having
said these things. si9ould be called up
