comedy, which would be purely Amer1-
can, and that is what "a Girl from
Dixie exemplifies, with the added
charm of possessing an abundance Of
Southern atmosphere. Briefly, the
story of "a Girl from Dixie" concerns
an impoverished Southern family, the
Calverts, whose daughter Kitty" is
attending the village school at Tamar-
ack, Maryland. Her cousin Nick sud
denly inhefits' a large fortune from a
distant relative, but wishing to see
Kitty well lowered, he arrangeS mat
ters so that the executors mistake her
for the heiress. She is sent to a fash
ionable Eastern seminary, where scores
of fortune hunting husbands pay court
to the pretty Southern miss. After ar
ranging Kitty's dowry ~at s1,00e,000,
Ludwig Regenborgen, her stepfather,
accepts Lord Dunsrnore for her hus-
band. During a rehearsal of the nup-
tials in Kitty's fashionable New York
home, Squire Mink brings word as
to the mistake which has been made,
and Kitty releases Lord Dunsmore
from his promise Most Of the charac-
ters are typical of people who really
exist in the South.
D. L. Don, in the leading comedy
role, will doubtless be remembered as
a German dialect comedian, whose
work. never reaches burlesque and is
always legitimate. Gertrude Milling
ton, who interprets the title role, made
a favorable impression in the leading
female role of the Silver Slipper" last
season. Other players in the cast are
Charles K French, Clifford Leigh
Charles Bowers, Thomas Burton,
Charles Shelter, Elwood Duncan, Julia
Brink. Olge May and Helen French
A large coterie of pretty show girls,
school girls, Seminary girls and brides
maids enhance the musical and ensem-
BILE numbers which have been con-
tributed by no less than twelve COM
posers. among whom Ludwig England
er, Victor Herbert, Tobani, Baldwin
Sloane, Max Witt and Cole & john
son figure prominently.

If the local theater goers are not differ ent from those ot other entertainment loving cities the act is bound to create the biggest kind of d sensation. Ii is no siignt thing to make sport out of the stable laws of nature and twist them to suit the tastes of amusement seekers, but that is what Mir Yarrick and his kettle have been doing with such nattering success all along the variety house line ever since the act first came from Europe. The enter tainment while of q purely scientific nature fundamentally has been work. ed up by the performer into the most entertaining of novelties, and the amazing ieats he Bewilders his audi. ences with are all favored with d touch of comedy that makes them doubly effective. When it is said that solely by the aid of an ordinary tea kettle Mir Yarrick turns roses into
 
 frozen objects which retain all the out ward appearance of the flower, freezes ice cream over blazing fire and as i eliminating touch ignites an immense chunk of ice which burns brightly be. fore the wondering eyes of the specta- tors some idea of the marvellous pow CTS of the vessel may be imagined. To make sure that no chemicals are used in the act Mir Yarrick has standing offer of 5000 which will be given the person or persons who will prove such to be the case. The other features of the bill will be comedy numbers and will he offered by such well known artists as the Cammille Trio, Shepard and Wood, the Misses Mills and Morris, the Sully family. the mus ical Craiges, Mamie Remington with her pickaninnies and the electrograph.

THE YAQU| INDIANS
ANCIENT MEXICAN RACE OF ADVANCED CIVILIZATION.
Oppressed and Their Lands Confis. cated They Have Become Rebel lious and a Menace to Citi- .. zen and Traveller.

When the whole country is aroused over the murder in Mexico of prominent Americans by Yaqui indians, 1t comes in the nature of a surprise to one search ing after information concerning these hostile red men to read. in the first para graph of an authoritative article: Be fore the advent of the Spaniards they were the most numerous and powerful race in northern Mexico, and were then, as now, an exceedingly peaceful people" " We have been led to think of them, when we thought of them at all, as ex- ceedingly fierce, vengeful, la&lsss, nc respecters of life or property: now sweeping down on inoffensive Mexican, now playing highwaymen, robbing and staying luckless bands passing by their mountain retreats.
 Heedful of the oft-repeated admoni. tion to judge the present in the light of the past, let us consider what manner of Indians they were in days gone by, what conditions have brought them to their present state of reSelliousness.
 .. Before the Spaniards came the Yaquis were the most numerous and powerful race in northern Mexico, to-day they are the most populous aboriginal tribe dwelling in the province of Sonora Prior to the Spanish invasion they had attained to a considerable degree of civ- ilization; they titled the soil. and in minor manufactures were well skilled; made excellent pottery. wove blankets and woolen fabrics. After the Spaniards came they continued. when not inter- fered with, a peaceful. independent peo- pie; but oppression decimated their numbers and drove many of them into open rebellion. -r,..u For some years past the Sonora gov. ernment has had an Indian question it has not found ready matter to solve. Ever since the Sonora government con- iiscated their hereditary lands along the course of the Yaqui river. From time immemorial the Yaquis had owned these lands. and when the government seized them the Indians did not submit tam ely. Upon being dispossessed. part of the tribe took to the war path. and success fully defed troops sent to quell them. Ever since the Indians were driven from the river and sought the mountains, back in 1886. efforts to dislodge them have met with failure. Repeatedly in the last 25 years have Sonora troops been sent from the capital out into the Yaqui region for the purpose of settling the rebels. and generally have had to re- treat E
