first instalment of the fossil bones
of a gigantic dinosaur, which Pro
fessor Williston of the University
of Chicago unearthed about six
miles from here, has been sent to
Chicago today. The enormous
bones have been carefully collected
and boxed and will be put together
at their destination, to form part
of the archaeological exhibit of
the Field museum. The rest of the
skeleton will be shipped in a few
days. Professor Williston is con-

FOR The BENEFIT
OF The fever fund

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 10
Many thousands of tickets have
been sold for the baseball game
between the Parker-Blake baseball
club and the Glycozone baseball
club, which will be played this
afternoon at the ball park. The
proceeds of the game are to go to
the yellow fever fund. The game
had been arranged between the
managers of the two clubs and the
proposition to play the game for
the benefit of the yellow fever fund
was submitted to the mayor, who
approved the plan. The merchants
and the public in general willingly
supported the plan and handsome
sum will be realized from the sale
of tickets.

1.-THE Girl From Kay's,"

Coming as 1t does with the rec
ord of long life in England, of nine
months stay in New York and of
a six weeks stay in Boston, "The
Girl From Rays" promises to fur
nish an entertainment that ought
to be decidedly pleasing. The piece
is DESCRIBED as farcical comedy
with music. Owen Hall, who wrote
1t, is said to have evolved a very
humorous story that is sane and
consistent. The story is said to be
SO good in itself as to be able to
win success apart from the musical
features of the comedy. In Boston
several of the professional review
ers declared that the comedy was
the best of its class that had found
its way to this country. 1t marks
the most progressive stage in the
construction of light musical pieces
In the presentation of the comedy
at the Spokane, Tuesday and We'd
nesday nights, September 10 and
90 and matinee Wednesday. Bobby
North will be seen as "Piggie" Hog
genheimer, a character that affords
him many opportunities of creating
laughter of the heartiest kind. Lila
Blow will be seen in the part of
the girl" and the company will
include 80 others of prominence.
