A NIGHT IN BOHEMIA,

At the Opera House Thursday
eevning, was one of the greatest
entertainments ever given by local
talent, and If you were not there
you do not want to miss the second
performance tonight The audi
ence was large and every person in
the cast did their very best. Mr..
John W. Milan, as the retired actor,
could not have beer excelled; Mr..
Polk Lafoon's Dusty Rodes was.ali
right; Mr.. Steve Gibbs, as the
Irish Policeman, was great, and
Miss LYDIA Hubbard, as Dolly
Mobiles, and Mr.. W. w. LOngmoOr,
as Tommy Jiggs, were AL. The
singing of Miss Edna Bridges, as
Violet accompanied by the male
sextette-Messrs- Salem Kennedy,
Ike Kennedy, Edgar Harris, Wood
son Coleman. Richard Mcclure and
AL Lillard-was sweet indeed, and
the number one of the prettiest on
the programme. The male quar-
tette, composed of Messrs. Salem
and Ike Kennedy, Harris and Cole
man, caught the audience every
time they appeared, and they never
tired of their music The Teddy
Girls marched beautifully and the
little Cake Walkers were just too
sweet, while the closing scene Of
the first act, in which the confetti
was thrown, was one of the pref
test tableaux ever seen upon any
stage. Messrs. J. Mac VanDerveer
and Ben KeenOn charmed their
hearers, as usual, with their solos
and the chorus was first class.
The ROundabout's representative
Miss Leota Blaok-was late in
coming on, but she got there with
both feet-one on top of the other
and so we'll did she represent Sis
Hopkins. the cracker girl from the
mountains, that those who did not
know her supposed she was a pro-
fessional who accompanied Mr..
Getz to fill the part.
1t was a great show, and so we'll
pleased were many Of the audience
that they are going back to see it
tonight.

Let not the sun go down your wrath is ancient
admonitlon worthy of obedience and admirability illus
trated in the life of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Jones'
But first, the story
Walter Jones graduated in an Illinois college in the

case OF love at first sight They were married
On the day of their marriage the couple made this
pact They pledged each other they would close their
eyes at night with differences unsettled between them
After five years of married life the pledge has been kept
nviolate.
The honeymoon promises last to the end of the life
There is more of the story
Mr.. Jones was given section of heavy work down in
New Mexico, hundred miles from anywhere. Mrs Jones
went along They set their tent in the railway
ton camp Mrs Jones kept her husbands accounts
Quoted his correspondence and in PINCH took the part of
rodman.
Then they sent up to the Michigan peninsula,
where they roughed it in the way. Now they are

CHICAGO, June 27.-The organiza-
ton of an international labor union
whose trend shall follow the teach
ings Of socialism, Is the purpose of a
gathering of labor leaders which as
sembled in Chicago today. The king
pin of the movement is Eugene V.
Debs. the organizer of the now de-
funct American Railway union and
late candidate for president Of the
United States on the socialst-dem
cratic ticket. The new organization
is to be launched under the name of
the Industrial union.
The new movement makes no con-
cealment of it's antagonism to exist
ing labor organizations and methods,
particularly the American Federation
of Labor and the United Mine Work.
ers. After attacking the present sys-
tenn of labor organization and pro-
hibitive initiation fees, the official
call for the convention which assem-
bled today makes the declaration that
GLASS divisions foster political ig-
norance among workers, thus divid-
ing them at the ballot box as well
as nthe shop, mine and factory"
Continuing the call says:
Graft unions may and have been
used to assist employers in the es-
Enlistment of monopolies and the
raising of prices. They permit the
association of the misleaders of the
workers with the capitalists in the
Civic federation, where plans are
made for the perpetuation of capital
ism and the permanent enslavement
of the workers through the wage sys'
tenn. A movement to meet these con-
ditions must consist of one great in
dustrial union. embracing all indus
tries. providing for craft autonomy

We Are Not Degenerating

We hear from some learned source, every little while,
that this nation is degenerating
"Why," say the pessimists
"Look at the revelations of municipal rottenness."
'See the outawry of both capital and labor in their
struggles"
"Note the exhibitions of graft among business men
who want to know what there is in it for me- -
Watch the motions of the frenzed fnanciers working
on the creduty of nvestorsby wholesale swndng they
make their millions"
That is all true
Pity it's tbs true.
But it is not true that this whole nation is going to
the dogs Every man is not money mad Not every man
will stamp all higher considerations under his feet for his
greed of dollars.
There are multiplied thousands who nothing more
for public good than be rich There the educators
They work for dole in order to educate the race
There are the ministers Thousands of them live pit

Geo. Dixon and Champion Jeffries were
the two coolest fighters that ever stepped
into ring.
The former would sit in his dressing
room, read the papers and discuss fighters
of prominence before battle.
| remember on one occasion the little ne
gro asked for pen and ink He quietly
wrote letter to a friend in the middle
west Not the leastbit Of nervousness was
displayed and the letter is today preserved
by Dixon's friend as souvenir of the
great little man s nerve.
On another occasion Dixon sent for
bootblack to come and shine pair of shoes
as he wanted them after the fight, to wear
to a dinner to be given in his honor by
some friends, if he won.
Jeffries' actions are somewhat different
but display even greater GOODNESS than
those of Dixon.
When match is made, Jeff shows great
interest and talks to his friends almost con-
tinually of the coming struggle. AS the
date of the battle approaches, Jeff grows
Indifferent. This is due chiefly to the fact
that he realizes his condition is gradually
nearing perfection and that he will be cap
able of doing his best when he steps into
the ring
remember, before his fight with me at
Coney Island, he would ask his friends re-
peatedly what they thought of his chances
ing answer, which by the way, never car
ried any weight with the big fellow, even
if the opinions were solicited.
The proposition Jeff has to face never
cuts any figure with him in training. He
probably worked harder for the Munroe
fight than he did for the Fitzsimmons bat
tie, which gave him the title.
Before he shook hands with the miner
he chewed gum in an unconcerned manner.
One would have thought that he was going
to give an exhibition with some friend.
Before his fight with Fitzsimmons, Jeff
was joshing with some friends and was
late getting into the ring. When he finally
arrived he wore a small cap and heavy
sweater and jumped into the ring with the
agility Of cat.
Asked what he thought his chances were
against Fitz, Jeff said: II think I will win.
If don't, won make holer."
Peter Jackson and myself were probably
the most nervous of all the big fighters.
Jackson, at least an hour before a fight
would begin drinking brandy in small bits.
At the bell, Jackson would be keyed to a
high pitch and his nervousness would be
plain to every spectator for at least two
rounds, when he would settle down and
| work like whirlwind.
Before won the title never appeared
on the stage. was at home in the ring, as
much so as at the dinner table. But when
l made my first trip around the country as
an actor, lost a lot of GOODNESS. The long
strain was under each day told on me.

One of the great troubles with young
fighters nowadays is that they enter the
ring too young.
1 mean that they tackle big game too
soon after they have had success among
the small fry.
Take Eddie Hanlon as an example. Had
the Frisco boy gone slower he would to-
day be in the same position, if not higher,
than Jimmy Britt. Eddie was anxious to
reach the top and outran himself before he
landed.
Look at several others. Terry McGov-
ern was champion at 20 and a back number
at %. rs'Young Corbett' won the title at
q and should now be at his best He has
gone back so far that he will never recover
the lost ground Battling Nelson took a
longer time to RISE but overdid things at
the top.
With heavyweights it generally takes
longer to come, but the stay is usually of
greater length. 1t now looks as if Jeff was
going to break all records for champion
shin reigning.
