Chas. B. Hanford, the distinguished
Shakespearean actor will be at the
Cairo opera house tonight in a costly
revival Of Don Caesar de Bazan, y
will no doubt be one Of the theatrical
events of the season and the sale OF
seats presSages a large house. The
Ithaca, N. Y. News says Of Mr.,
Hanfords recent appearance in that
city:
Don Caesar de Bazan. play Of
so many fine points, exciting situa-
tons and emotional climaxes that ii
may be called a classic, was pre-
sen1ed by Chas, B. Hanford in the
title role. supported by an excellent
company, at the Lyceum last night.
with the result that numerous curtain
calls were elected and the sar was
compelled, after score of eneores, to
respond to a demand for a speech at
the close of the second act.
Mr.. Hanford whose -Petrucio,' in
The Tanning oia the Shrew. was one
OF the best character portrayals ever
seen in ithaca. is particularly adapted
by talents and personality to play the
role of Don Caesar His rolicksome,
happy-go-lucky manner is captivating
and all OF his methods fit the part like
a glove and deserve the applause ellie
tied last night.
Miss Drofnah. in the emotional role
of Mariana, although suffering from
a slight cold. was very effective and
convincing. She shared the honors
with Mr.. Hanford.
The star is particularly fortunate
in having Frank Hennig in the role
of Don Jose, who. by his perfect enun-
citation and clever work, adds much to
the entertainment"

here tonight on the issues Of the cam

Judge Parker's statement that the
Philippines have cost sG50,00o,ooo ana
10000 lives. He showed by the war
department estimate that the total
expenditures in the Philippines have
not exceeded $2,000,000. He also
said:
up 20 the Goth of last June total
of 122,40l enlisted men and 40S7 Of.
ficers were sent TO the Philippines.
If all enlisted men and officers had
died in the archipelago the total mum.
Der would have fallen short OF the
number of lives alleged to have been
sacrificed by nearly 10000. The rec
ord of total casualties, of every kind
and description, mp % the 50th of June
last amounted to 1924. OF this num-
Der 4.769 were enlisted men and l55
were officers. The casualties among
the constabulary of the islands of all
kinds have been about GOO, about 100
OF whom were Americans
Even casualties among the Fill
pinos. added to those among the
Americans would constitute but a
small fraction of the losses estimated
by the opposition We should bear
in mind the fact that many of the
casualties which have occurred have
been caused by encouragement held
out to the insurgents by the opposi-
ton. They were led to resist the as
ser.ion OF the sovereignty Of the Unit

success"

THE Moonshlner's Daughter"

One OF the most interesting effects
in THE Moonshiner's Daughter Is a
complete Illicit still in fulf operation,
showing how the moonshiners' make
whiskey from the corn they grow,
This still was captured in the noun
tains of Tennessee after a terrible
fight in which many government Off
GERS were wounded and several moon
sinners were captured, for which
crime many are now serving time in
the Tennessee penitentiary. The
moonshiners cannot understand why
after they have grown the corn that il;
is not their property and TO do with
as they see fit Nothing seems TO
change their ideas in this regard no
matter how many times captured OF
how heavy the punishment, for imme-
diately upon their release they be-
gin again the same things for which
the government has had them tried.
A beautiful love story is woven
around these rugged mountaineers,
full Of heart interest and wonderful
experiences. The MoOnshiner's

house next Monday. Oct. "a.

above the level of sales made regular
ly by them abroad with profit. thus
giving a bounty TO foreigners at the
expense OF our own people. Its I'M

other necessaries OF life. II levics du-
ties on many articles not normally i'm

Secretary Farrell, the last date for
reservation expiring today This
move on the part Of Henderson does
not necessarily imply that Henderson
will be in this or any other league
next season, but the move was made
for speculative purposes, as the draft
ing of some of their players viii pay
a handsome premium on the invest

the Henderson people also being
aware that Evansville will be in the
league, and not having any players
reserved. will necessarily purchase
some of them.
Very gratifying reports have been
received from Marion regarding that
city's desire to be a member sf the
league When the subject was
preached several prominent business
men agreed to subscribe to $4,000

and the result is no longer In doubt.
Marion is an ideal town for member
