ORPHEUM.

The .Orpheum has been crowded all
week by people who enjoy seeing modern
vaudeville at reasonable price. Her
mann the Great, the stellar attraction, is
doing all his latest and best tricks
among which is his celebrated Hindoo
basket trick. He brings before the au-
dience an empty willow basket; he
places the Hindoo in net and ties it
securely, and then puts him in the bas-
ket with a cloth over him. He makes a
few mysterious passes and the Hindoo
disappears Hermann pierces the bas-
l1et with sword on all possible sides to
show he is not hid in it. He once more
puts the cloth over him, makes few
passes and the man appears from where
no one has ever been able to find out.

 CLOVER LEAF DEAL
OWING TO HIS LARGE INTERESTS IN ROAD HIS ASSOCIATES DID NOT WANT HIM TO SEVER HIS CONNECTION.

Washington, December l5.-During the debate last Friday in the Senate touching the personnel of the isthmian canal com- mission and its employees, reference was made to the fact that the name of Theo Shonts, president of the commission, ap pears In the official railway guides as the president of the Clover Leaf railroad. Mir. Shonts statement of the facts is as follows:
 Last March, just before the Walker commission gave way to the present com- mission Mir Shonts in company with the then Secretary Morton, Speaker Cannon, Secretary Pale and others were cruising in the West Indies. Mr Shonts was then president of the Clover Leaf Railroad con- pany, and with two or three personal friends controlled and practically owned all the stock of this corporation. A con dition of his appointment president of the isthmian canal commission was that he should assume that office immediately which in fact he did, being appointed in April the day following the retirement of the Walker commission, in order to avoid an interregum. He felt the necessity owing to his large personal interests of con- tinuing his connection with the Clover Leaf roads, his friends associated with him in the ownership of that enterprise being also insistent on that point. A plan was devised to permit MT. Shonts to re- main in nominal connection with the road through the creation of a new of flee, namely, that of second vice presi- dent. The first vice president was and is Thomas H. Hubbard, president of the International Banking corporation and the second vice president was appointed to give his entire attention to the man. agement of the road. George H. Ross was selected for the place. and to him MT. Shonts turned over the detailed work of management proposing himself only to give his attention to large matters of policy. That is his status the present mo- ment"

them have resulted in ties. The

would have scored had there

Remarkable Hog Story.

B. e. Briscoe fed As hogs in a
corn field on the H A Pritchett
farm west of New London. On
September 90 he drove them to
town to ship them, and one was
missing. Search was made for
the hog, but nothing was heard
of it. Las. Saturday Mrs. M.
E. Prichett went out TO the
old place and in looking over
the field found the hog in an
old abandoned icehouse. In
some manner the hog had fallen
into the ice house, and being
unable to get out had stayed
there at least 40 days, and pos
sibly longer without food or
drink. When taken out the an
imal was so weak it could hard
ly stand and was nothing but
skin and bones. At present II
is doing as we'll as could be ex'
