AT THE THEATERS
orpheum-Modern Vaudeville.

selecting popular program for a
vaudeville house is a dwrecking task
for a theatrical manager, but the work
has been well done at the Orpheum this
week. The bill is varied and interesting.
There is no one act that might be classed
as the premier offering. Wahlund and
Tekla, billed as the modern Sandow and
the strongest woman on earth, keep every
promise made for them. Wahlund is a
magnificent specimen of physical develop
ment, superior in some ways to San
dow. Tekla possesses a graceful form,
great strength and not a sign Of 'knotty
muscle" The pair perform the regula-
ton bar-lifting, and combine with this
the teeth lift producing a startling
act. ~ .a..:.:-.-S ~ ....
Phyllis Allen, contralto, made decided
hit with her audience last night. She
has voice of rare power, tone and
flexibflity, and was at her best in ballad
work. Hallen and Fuller gave a one-act
comedy, 1.-THE Sleepwalkers," the laugh
provoking qualities of which are largely
centered in the windup, but then making
up for lost time. -&:. ."E,, :
Sensational rifle shooting by the Texana
sisters held the audience spellbound unit

The stunts embraced all of the regular

sisters was placed against the backstor

girl started her rifle going and the pat.

every target had been broken. These

Mr.. HowelIs on rrIage.--Writing in
the Editors Easy Chair, in Harper's Mag.
azIne for February, Mr.. Howells consid-
ers various aspects of the marriage rela-
ton, and remarks that the women who
assail marriage. in any debate upon it,
must have the greater courage because
they know that they will have to meet
the condemnation OF their own sex, whose
social safety Is so bound up with marriage
that whatever threatens it threatens the
well-being Of the whole sex. Leaving
love. and all its sweet allures, out of the
question, and coming down to business,
there is nothing else for most women but
the risks and chances of monogamic mar
riage, with it's tacit notifications, and its
limitations by divorce. They must be-
lieve in it, for any other way madness
lies. No other tolerable relation of the
sexes has yet been imagined, and prob
ably no other Is Imaginable"

It appears that the appointment Of
Peter Kerst, chief deputy, to the office
of public examiner is to take effect Feb. 1.
The appointment Of Mr.. Kerst to the head
of the department where he has rendered.
excellent service is generally commended.
It was expected, however, that Mr.. John
son would be allowed to remain In office
two or three months longer in order to
assist the attorney general In tnstituting
legal action to recover for the state in
a number Of cases developed by the ex-
a1niner in his investigation Of the audi
tors office and in his prosecution Of
claims for taxes. . The attorney general
relied much upon Mr.. Johnson's assist
ance. Mr.. Kerst, Of course, will be dis
posed to render the assistance needed,
but he Is not as,swellz acquainted with
these matters as Mr.. Johnson himself.
Undoubtedly the state stands to lose
something Of value to it by the making
of this change at this time. This seems
to put it up to Governor Johnson to see
to it that in deciding to make this change
now there is no abatement of the effort
to secure by legal process all that is
coming to the state under the reports OF
the public examiner.

for another weeks engagement, where she

various notes is marvellous.
Signorita Ell Salto, contortionist gives
a short program of difficult feats, and the
Brothers Bunts follow it with good &C.

endowed by Mr.. Carnegie on his retire

of the cost to life and limb In the prose-
c,ition of great industries. The total ac-
cident and death benefits and pension
cases considered in the three years COW
cred by the report are 6,oS2. This seems a
heavy total; but it is produced by indus
trial operations extending from Mime
sofa to southwestern Pennsylvania. To
meet these cases s47o,s54 has been dis
bursed In pensions, death and accident
benefits. We hear little OF the operation
of this fund, but it is evidently doing no
bic work.

La Toilette Triumphant.

Exit Joseph V. Quarles; enter Robert
M. La Toilette.
The result Of the caucus in Madison
last night leaves no doubt as to the
name Of the new United States senator
from Wisconsin. La Toilette not only
captured the caucus, but mustered
within two of the votes necessary to
elect on joint ballot. The two votes
will be quickly collected from the
minor candidates, and the Quarles men
are powerless to prevent La Toilette $
election. s.-. H..
The meaning of last nights caucus
is that the new regime is in absolute
control, and the "stalwart" wing Of
the republican party in Wisconsin IS
down and out. La Follette's triumph
is ominous for Senator Spooner, whose
hold on the party organization is ap-
parently destroyed. The two senators,
Spooner and La Toilette, are neighbors
in Madison, and the geographical argu-
ment will be used to defeat the senior
senator. However, the Spooner down
fall is not to be traced to local leal-
ousies. 1t must date from the lll-starred
boiling convention in Madison last
spring, when the stalwart faction de-
clared open war on La Toilette and ap'
pealed to the people. 1t is we'll known
that Spooner opposed this step till the
last, but he had to go with his friends
and when the moment for decision came
he committed himself to stand or fal]
with them. The appeal to the people
was in vain, and betrayed the essen
tial weakness of the stalwart cause.
La Toilette has subdued his old
enemy, the legislature, and his com
plete triumph is an illustration OF the
power that can be welded by mar
with a genius for organization, who
seizes and directs a popular movement
Public opinion well organized, is il
