VAUDEVILLE.

It's Poli bill all right that enthus- ed and delighted two large audiences at the Jacques yesterday, and it came in for unstinted praise on all sides. The top honors fall to Hayes and Healy, two old time favorites here, aud they sustained their right to them with their slxit "The Clerk and the Bell Boy" One doesn't look for con- nected act from Hayes and HeaIy; only typical bit of fun wrought around grotesQue disparity in size between the pair. Both are good comedians, however, and know how to dance and sing and kick and do acrobaic stunts; so that there Is something doing every minute that they hold the stage. They kept the audiences in roars of laughter yester- day and there was certainly plenty of fun while they were at work. In the second place of importance come Phil Ott, Teddy Simonds and company in "The Smart Dr Sweet" a sketch that is built on the old variety order that permits of singing and dancing in abundance. There is enough of story however, to keep the interest sustain ed apart from these features, and the number made good impression on both audiences yesterday. Archer's five Filipino girls introduce the char acteristic songs and dances of their race, while O'Brien and Buckley have clever musical comedy act. John Birch has a novelty in the form of a one man melodrama that is an exceed ingly clever hit-of on the thrillers that are just now in so much vogue. Kennedy and Quatrelli show some novel juggling and the electrograph pictures are good enough to hold the audience to the last. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

aNO WEDDING BELLs.a

Theodore Kremer's thrilling melo- drama "No Wedding Bells for Her" which comes to Polls Thursday after, noon and evening. is one of the best things that has come from his prolific pen. It is strong in plot, legitmately thrilling and exciting, and possesses a remarkably sustained heart interest. The story is one of the coal regions of Pennsylvania, and to certain extent is based on incidents of the great coal strike. There is, however, no pedantic dissertation on the rights of capital or labor, the strike of the miners being used only as means of illustrating and developing the main plot of the play. Sale of seats tomorrow at popu- lar prices.

nswEET KITTY BELLAIRs."

Sweet Kitty Bellairs'' was played at Poli's last evening by Miss Henri etta Crosman and first class com pany to a stylish and enthusiastic au- dience. Sweet Kitty" is supposed to have lived in 1793, the period Of the Gainsborough hat, when ladies and gentlemen walked with sticks as long as themselves, when ladies' hips looked like wings with the feathers trimmed, and when men took snuff and re- fusal to accept the hospitality of a proffered box was considered an "af- fair of honor.'' All this is delightfully."- portrayed in Sweet Kitty"
 The play is an adaptation from Egerton Castles book sThe Bath Com edy." It is essentially Irish, though the action takes place in Bath, a shore resort in England, and as Miss Cros- man played it last evening, and pre-. sumably on other evenings also, 1t was a kind of Daughter of the Regiment" show. The men represent English sol. diers. one-half of them officers of the Inniskillings (no doubt the author meant "Ehniskillin'D, and the other half the Fifty-hrst infantry. Sweet Kitty is widow and the daughter of an officer of the former body, hence her connection and life with the mili- tary. The play scintillates with Irish wit Kitty's send-offs are as frequent and brilliant as sparks &xpm a sk1-

Promise to Supply Necessary
Funds to Improve Pennsyl-
vania Line West of Pittsburg

NEW YORK. Feb "a syndicate OF
New York bankers has agreed TO lend
$4,000 900 for the purpose OF improving
the Pennsylvania lines west OF Pitts
burg and TO provide funds for the pur-
chase Of the Western Maryland Rail-
road by the Norfolk and Western as
part of plan for the settlement of the
Gould Pennsylvania differences. The
Western Maryland is controlled by
Gould il -ests and its president. JO-
seph Ramsey Jr.. is president OF the
Wabash Railroad.
According to the latest reports the
WesteI-l Maryland. which runs from
baltimore to WiIliamspOrt. Nd, and
leases a number Of smaller lines. has
outstanding about s15.0OO.000 of COM
mon stock and $4,000 of preferred
stock
While a syndicate member said that
the loan would provide funds for the
purchase Of the Western Maryland. it
could not be learned that negotiations
for such a purpose had been closed
penC.ng the conclusion Of the negOtia-
tions. denial such IS that received
from Philadelphia was not unexpected.
Wall street regarded the statement
that one of the purposes OF the loan
was the purchase OF the Western
Maryland as very important. The diff
ferences between the Gould -Pennsyl-
vania interests have engaged the at
tention OF financiers for months, and
while reports that an adjustment was
under way have been made repeatedly
within the last few weeks. official con-
irmation is lacking One OF the rumors
in circulation to-day was that the
Pennsylvania. after taking over the
VEST Maryland. would give the
Gould lines a favorable arrangement
for sea board traffic.
The Pennsylvania viii receive the
money April 1 and issue notes bearing
~ per cent interest therefor, the
notes to beftaken up in eighteen
r-on.hs. 1t is not the intention OF the
syndicate which has taken the notes
TO offer them at public sale. The price
to be paid for the notes was not made

JUDGES DETECT
FALSE PLUMAGE
Reverse Decision Rendered at
Utah's Annual Poultry Show
in the City of Salt Lake
Special Dispatch to The can.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. 5.-Be-
cause of feather that happened to
be in the wrong place the Judges Of
Utah's sixteenth annual poultry show
have reversed the decision which
awarded to James Gunter Of Ogden
first prize for the finest specimen Of
the Brown Leghorn breed.
When the experts went the rounds
to Judge in this particular class they
stopped, spellbound with admiration.
in front of the pit that contained Gun
ter's exhibit, a magnificent cockerel
that strutted about in full realization
of his own beauty. The fowl was
nearly perfect according TO all the
standards for judging such creatures.
His plumage was all that could be de-
sired, particularly his tail feathers.
which We're all II a beautiful shade of
brown.
Gunter was promptly awarded the
first prize.
On the following day one of the
judges who happened to pass the
Brown Leghorn's coop stopped to ad-
mire the cockerel. There was some,
thing wrong with the bird; his ap-
pearance was not at all as it had been
on the day of his triumph. The ex-
pert Investigated. Inside the coop he
found one of the gorgeous tail feath
ers of the fowl reposing on the floor.
He picked it up and was much as
tonished to find that it bore unmis-
taxable evidences of mans handicraft.
Then the bird was examined and the
triaL- v-aS oxnIaiued
Originally Mr.. Leghorn has sported
a pure White tail feather that was
pretty. but which has no business on
a pure bred Brown Leghorn. No
fowl in that class with a white feather
could hope to win laurels at the poul-
try show. Accordingly the white
feather was cut off and one of more
suitable hue substituted This was
done by means of a toothpick and
bit of silver wire, a beautiful brown
feather being inserted in the quill. the
stump of which remained in the birds
anatomy. The work was executed so
cleverly that the trick would not have
been discovered had not the trans
PLANTED feather in some way got loose
And so, in this borrowed plumage,
Gunter's bird won the coveted prize.
But his triumph was short lived, for
the Judges reversed their decision and
awarded the trophy to another ex-

WINNER OF THE CARNOT
MEDAL AND TWO OTHER
BERKELEY DEBATERS.

BERKELEY, Feb. 5.-Joseph P
Lucey. a student in the Hastings Law
College, was awarded the Carnot medal
for debating tonight in competition
with five other students. two from the
University Of California and three from
Stanford University
Harmon gymnasium, where the de-
bate was held, was crowded to the
doors with the adherents of both sides.
Sections were held by ''rooters" of Cal
ifornia and Stanford, and the yell lead
ers kept them busy with encouraging
yells and songs.
California went into the debate with
some fears for the outcome. It had
three inexperienced men to send against
a team that had two veterans in inter-
collegiate debate and third who had
a fund Of experience in secondary
schools. The general feeling was that
Stanford with its experienced men
world sweep TO victory. After the first
brush tonight, however. California's
hopes went up a peg. The forceful and
=
none of the Stanford debaters seemed
70 equal. turned the fortune of the day.
When the judges finally retired it was
generally conceded among those that
had followed the argument closely that
Lucey would be the winner.
The question for debate was not an
nounced until two hours before the de-
bate began. It was then declared to be:
Resolved, That the French judiciary
should be more completely independent
Of both the legislative and executive de-
partments."
The debaters had had, however,
ample time 10 prepare their argument
as the general subject for discussion,
The French judicial system, had been
announced several months ago. The
debaters were allowed to choose their
own sides on the question.
Frank A. Mandel of California chose
the affirmative. Frank Roehr of Stan
ford the negative. Alexander Sheriffs
Of Stanford the affirmative and How
ard NJ. Lewis Of Stanford the negative.
Lucy Of California the affirmative.
Hart Greensfelder of California the
negative.
The affirmative side took the ground
that government should be for the pro-
lection OF individual liberty. As il
subserves individual liberty it should
be preserved In civilized countries
men look to the courts for this right
This right cannot be had if the judi
ciary is subservient 70 the executive,
as it is in France. The administrative
courts, appointed by the executive, do

against the encroac chnlent of the gov
ernment.
IN replying, the tegative declared
that the administrative courts had
withstood the test Of a hundred years
and numerous changes in the char
acter Of the Government. This system
is best for the French people. The de-
cision not being unanimous. one Of the
judges having cast his vote for Lewis

SAYS CATTLE
ARE lMPERILED
State Veterinarian Tells of His
Investigation of Conditions
i'm Southern Part of the State
LOSS MAY BE VERY LARGE
Raising of Quarantine He De-
clared to Be Necessary to the
Life of the Starving Herds

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 5.-Dr- C H
BIemer, State Veterinarian. returned
TO Sacramento this morning from an
investigation of conditions in the
southern part of the State. He re-
ports the outlook as discouraging for
the cattIemen. He states that unless
the quarantine against the south can
be lifted, so as to permit the starving
cattle to be brought north, there Will
be an immense loss. Already many
cattle have perished from hunger and
nearly all of those remaining are too
weak to stand shipment out of the
State.
DR.. Blemer said he heard OF buyers
from Arizona and Colorado being in
the south, but he expressed the Opin-
ion that the cattle would not survive
the trip to Colorado. if the authorities
of that State would permit them to
enter While there is plenty OF hay in
Colorado and some in Arizona, the
cost of getting it to the starving cattle
in the south is too great for the cat
tlemen TO think of attempting 10 save
their herds in this way.
DR.. BIemer said the range stock is
too weak 10 stand dipping in crude oil,
as advised by Secretary Wilson OF the
Agricultural Department In any event
this is not OF be considered, in view OF
Governor Brodie's telegram to the ef-
fect that under the statutes of Arizona
cattle from infected districts cannot be
shipped into that Territory.
When told of the protest made to
Governor Pardee by the stockmen Of
Solano and Napa counties against
raising the quarantine against the cat
tie in the south, DR.. Blemer said ne
was sorry TO hear of it. He declared
there would be no danger in moving
the cattle. as none but healthy stock
would be sent north il the quarantine
were removed. No cattle would be al
lowed to pass to the north unless they
We're inspected, he said, and in this
way all cattle infected with Texas
fever would be kept out. He explain
ed that the loss to the northern cat
tlemen from permitting stock from the
south to mingIe with their herds dur
ing the drought of 1898 was due to the
fact that no inspection was made then.
Now there are strict regulations, by
which all cattle can be inspected be-
fore removal and any found to be in
fected will not be permitted to leave
the infected district.
