THE SHOW GIRL.
Full of Good Music, shapely Anatomy
And Pretty Faces.

The Show Girl drew a good house
last evening and it was one of those
pleasant musical comedies that please
everybody and appeal to the ear and
eye.
The program says THE Show Girl
is "a musical tomfoolery, and that
comes pretty near describing it. Lots
of musical comedies that have appear
ed here do not approach THE Show

no dull moments in the piece. There

A Preacher in Politics.

A preacher in Fresno concluded
that he might add to his influence by
taking a hand in politics He denounc
ed a political boss from his pulpit,
and raked him down the back as a
CRATER and a corrupter OF votes. The
next day the boss met him on the
street and built fine large head on
him. Also broke a couple of ribs.
People who go into politics when it is
not exactly necessary ought to BE-
ready to take ANYTHING that comes in
the line of political perquisites and a
good licking is often one of them.

ing examples OF courage and resource
previously unequaled. The Japanese
artillery received a fresh supply Of
ammunition the previous evening. and
never before was there such a terrific
hail Of projectiles, but the efforts Of
the Japanese were unavailing against
the determined stand OF the Russians
who proved themselves worthy sons
OF the defenders OF Sebastopol. and the
attack was repulsed with enormous
losses. The refugee gives the Russian
losses at 1900. and those of the Jap

wounded were left on the field Of bat

the highest pitch. remained unrelieved
when the people OF st. Petersburg re-
tired tonight Reports from Toxic and
Chefoo or the sea fight which followed
the departure Of the squadron are so
conflicting and lnconclusiye that a
strong hope exists that the Russian
ships succeeded In breaking through
the japanese fleet.
Indeed. It was rumored late tonight
that the admiralty had received infor-
nation that the squadron had passed
beyond Shantung promontory, which
would bring the squadron 100 miles to
the southeast OF Port Arthur and into
the yellow sea. Although unable to
confirm this rumor the Associated
Press learns that the family OF Lieu
tenant Smirnoff, an officer Of the bat
tleship Czarivltch, this evening re-
celved a telegram from him dated at
Tsingchau today. The message con-
talned only two words. "Alive; en-
braces"
Tsingchau is 16O miles southwest Of
chefoo, in the province of shantung,
at the entrance to Kiachau bay. The
receipt of this telegram might be con-
strued as a partial confirmation of the
rumor that the squadron had reached
the open sea beyond Shantung In no
other way could Lieutenant smirnoff's
family explain the message from
Tsingchau.
