CHANGES IN UNIFORMS.
Secretary of War Issues Order Putting
 stafY'a Suggestions in Force.

Washington, Nov. 11.-By direction of the Secretary of War orders have been issued carrying into effect the recommendations of the general stan making changes in the uniforms of the army.
 The provision for substituting as collar ornaments the letters "U. s. instead of coat of arms will take eneet June 1, 1905. As a rule various articles of the new uniform for enlisted men will not be issued until the correspond- ing articles of the old patterns nave been exhausted The cap as prescribed is intended for habitual wear in the garrison with the service uniform but the campaign hat is retained TOT wear on certain occasions.
 The wearing of the white uniform IS made entirely optional with both ofti- cers and enlisted men. Enlisted men are forbidden to have their clothing altered owing to their tendency to make the clothing especially about the chest of too tight fit.
 It is also prescribed that no decora- tion received from foreign governments shall be worn by officers and men while on duty with United States troops A wooden service uniform is pre- scribed for the United States and cot ton khaki for tropical wear.

.srhs Silver slipper"

Some excellent features and some features unworthy of an organization
 of such numerical strength marked the
 production of ''The Silver slipper al the Montgomery Theatre last night.
 Last season The Slipper" was pro
 claimed one of the very best things or
 mederr times. Being SY the author of 'Florodora," it was bilA. .s worthy successor to that melodious, colorful musical comedy and some of us were inclined. after seeing the gorgeous pro auction. to agree with the writer or the bills. The same glittering array or young women in fanciful costumes was presented last night but the gorgeous ness had faded and now and then the entertainment dropped to the lever ot commonplace.
 Nothing better is desired on any stage than the bewildering dances or the six pretty and graceful English girls and there was a splendid male chorus. but the dash, the vim Of The Slipper" of last year was lacking. Even Snitz Edwards, the comedian
 remembered as one of the funniest men
 of last year. was disappointing. Too
 much is expected of MT. Edwards. One comedian in so large company IS not
 enough. There was little spontaniety about his efforts last night and at times
 he positively bored the audience.
 The bedraggled, timeworn scenery provided contributed greatly to the dis appointment of the audience. The cos tunes were new and handsome. Their contrast te the dilapidated backgrounds gave an Intensified cheapness to the entertainment that jared and made one feel resentment
 The producing company was large.
 II Mo a
 Fisher fulfilled his promise. There were
 some faces recalled from last year and some new ones and the players did their
 best.
 Quite the best voice in the comapny
 was that of Miss Lieb. One wonders
 that a woman with a voice of such
 rare sweetness Is not given more op- portunity to show 1t. Her duet with
 Mir. Freeman was one of the delightful bits and they were given hearty ap- plause.'
 Miss Golden did not sing her num- bers with the effectiveness expected from her although she made win some Wrenne and her rendition of The Girl You Love" pleased by reason of the assistance of the male chorus. Among the novelties the Zanzibar song with the dainty. pretty women il SeA NSN tO ucliSHteu tuC duul' ence and won several encores. There were many beautiful womer in the chorus. who changed their hand some gowns often. Some of them sang well and some did not. Their weak. ness in this respect was heightened bS the volume of melody supplied by tht male chorus. Those singing men oi The Slipper" are worth every cen
 they earn, and more too. They con. tributed large share of the enjoyment the audience got out of the entertain menc.
 With new scenic appurtenances and bit of strengthening here and there W,
 might renew our loyalty to The Slip per-" but we do not quickly forgiv, the manager who imposes upon his pas good reputation.

Four Persons Put to Death
 at Auburn, Cal.
OGleaals at Work to Fix Blame for ths KilIing of Members of Weber Family, but Advance No
 Theories.

Auburn. Cal. Nov. 11.--Julius Web or, his wife, their 1s-year-old daugh- ter Bertha, and their son, Paul aged i4 years were murdered last night by an unknown assassin who after shoot ing and cutting the inmates, set ire to the home in an effort to cover his crime. Before the fire had made any great headway. the body of the mur- dered woman and her two children were rescued from the burning house. Mrs. Weber and her boy were still alive, but died almost as soon as they reached the air.
 All efforts to reach Julius Weber, the father, who was not thought to be in the burning house. was abandoned un- til today, when a search was made in the burned timbers and his body was found in the bath room of the dwell- ing. It has been ascertained beyond a doubt that the women were killed in one room and that their clothing was set on fire and they were then dragged

First Minstrel. at B,,ou.

At popular prices. the Faust Min strels seen at the Bijou theatre last night is meritorius company and wor- thy of patronage.
 The act of the Faust Family of aero pats. wonderfully and good act and Whlcn has been seen before in Mont- gomery Is perhaps worth the price of admission. but the first part is not up to the standard set by this act. If 1t mad been the performers would be with a higher priced minstrel organization. Why minstrel company prints the titles of five songs on the program that they do notSsing Is not easily under stood. Where five soloists were an- nounced on the, program, only three sang.
 Billy Beard, on one of the ends and Glen DeBruin. among the singers saved the first part from being common place. Beard sang Hannah, Won't You Open That Door" in a way to get two or three encores and BeBruin sang My Sweet Magnolia" in a strong clear baritone voice which pleased. Grip Rogers one of the black-face men started that performance off good by singing The Preacher and the Bear." a song of some merit, but he was self conscious and stin.
 In the olio. the Boisette Troupe in pantomime sketch were good and got laughter from the audience.
 Daily and kelso, song and dance team amused in their work which was done in good style.
 comedy musical turn by the Brothers Stidolph pleased and an en- core was given.
 monologue by Bobby DeRue and some quartette work by The Herald Square Quartette finished the perfor- nance up to the act of the Faust Fam lily, which closed the show.
 rather top heavy audience saw the performance and the show was more effective with the galleries than was with the lower floor audience.
 The company will be at the Bijou to- day matinee and night.

Hats in Cold STORAGE,

I'VE put away Panama hats for the
winter just as we do furs,' said a
Broadway halter. "Take Lyman J.
Cages Panama that he paid $500 for
year before last. 1t cost $3.50 before it
left the isthmus in it's rough state. He
thought he got a bargain when we
disposed of it to him as the most ex-
pensive Panama ever sold in New
York. Do you think he is going to
leave that lying around the house as
II it was discarded Mackinaw. For
mer Mayor Van Wyck has good Pan
anna for which he paid $3.50. Like 9th
or men who own them, he puts it in
storage every fall.
Since King Edward paid 500 for
what is believed to be the best Pana-
ma hat in London, I surmise he is 60
Ing to wear it again next year. If he
wears his, other men who like to fol-
low the fashion will wear Panamas.
All things considered, think the Pan
anna hat fad has been the most expen-
sive ever invented. It gave men the
right to compete with women in lavish
expenditure for headgear.-New York
