happy variety. Pat Rooney and Ma. riOn Bent lead the list with q musical dancing skit called Make Yourself at Home,' which is the title of the new est song MT Rooney has written and which bids fair to rival in popularity the Good Old Five Cent Trolley Ride" Never were the tiny Pats nim- ble legs so nimble and he still dances with a vivacity little short of electric in its sprightliness. Miss Bent finds time during the action of the offering to display her ability to play the piano and her beauty is of winsomenesS most attractive. The number is re- fined. and in good taste and is filled with work every minute. Aunt L0uisa's Advice" the playlet being pre- sented by Howard Truesdale. his wife and company has made a pronounced hit not only because of the cleverness of the plot but also on account of the really excellent acting contributed by principals. Mir Truesdale's comedy as well as that of his wife is never per mitted to degenerate into horse play. and the fun is at all times excruciating- ly funny without being horsey. Suli. van and Pasquelena. Hal Merritt. the great Chick. Henderson and Ross and the Flood brothers are all pominen, in the daily entertainment. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents afternoons 1;0 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

N. c. GOODWIN.

The coming of no star to the local stage is anticipated with greater pleas ure or relished with keener interest than that of America's greatest com, edian. Nat Goodwin. who will. on Frl, day night. present a revival of his greatest success "A Gilded Fool" with all the scenic accessories and magniti- cent equipment that aided in it's pro- duction in the metropolitan cities. The inspiration of the play is based upon the sacrifices made for loves sake. Chauncey Short. the character imper- s0nated by Mir Goodwin. is a young man who suddenly inherits great wealth and is on the verge of becom. ing q society butterfly. He is in love with q pretty American girl, but she, thinking he was wasting his time. will have none of him. and it was not until she discovered his manhood in coming to the rescue of her financially en- barrassed father that she discovered his true worth. The "gilded fool" he comes the happipst of men. A play of this nature allows of much comedy. and some path0s, and as it possesses q love story of considerable interest. it may well be expected that Mir Goodwin makes much thereof. MT Goodwin has an adequate foil in the opposite, part t in,ithe nersoMlty, of Ruth MaHKaHa;, Others in the east are Florence Par ker. Georgia Mendum. Ethel Beale. Ina Goldsmith. Edna Faron. Ellie Nor wood Fred Tyler. Norman Thorpe, Neil O'Brien. Felix Edwartles and W, II. Post. Prices are $2. S1.50. S1. 10 and 25 cents. Sale of seats Thursday, and there will be no free list.

EidlitZ, president of the or ganization, was delivering his speech, a large signboard placed directly back of the speaker bearing the words Building Trades Employers Associa- tion" in yellow incandescent lights suddenly burst into flames simultane- ously with the loud reports of the bursting bulbs, POO of which illumi- mated the capital letters of the organi- zation's title. The crowd at the ban quet tables, numbering more than a thousand, were thrown into panic by a cry of fire, but beyond the destruc- tion of the ornamental sign little harm resulted.

POLL $
COUSIN BILLY.

"COUSlN blLLl. yats @ As Cousin Billy Francis Wilson appeared before fair sized audience at Polls last evening. This was Mir Wilson's first appearance here since he gave up singing parts, and though he was undoubtedly funny as Cousin Billy and given uproarious applause and curtain calls by the dozen, he in any of his old roles.
 This new piece of MT Wilson's is q very liberal adaptation from the French by Clyde Fitch. It portrays three Americans. Cousin Billy" Mrs Meade Miss May Robson). and her daughter Miss Edith Barker,, travelling through Europe with two or three young men. Americans also. following in the daughters train. It shows up che of the weakest features in human nature. vanity. but in side splitting situations. 1t must unques- tionably recall to those who have tray eled continental Europe many laugh able scenes and arguments with OD- durate railroad officials. and the nu- merous difficulties the unsophisticated traveller is very liable to find himself involved in countries whose languages he is hopelessly ignorant of.
 The first and second acts of Cousin Billy could be great deal livelier. notwithstanding that the spectator is laughing almost all the time. But it is at MT Wilson's peculiar antics he is laughing Without him on the stage the play is draggy and inclined to be tedious. But the third act com rensates for the other two. Here Cousin Billy" and Mrs Meade and her daughter and all the fellow trav- elers in Europe are home again in AL lentown. Pa. and ,here Mir Wilson is seen in his best work
 After the second act he. made q short speech in which he thanked the audience for their appreciation of his new work. and he was himself glad to be able to say that he had plot in stead of pink tights behind him.

CONVICT PATRICK IN COURT.
Ex.senator Hill Made streng Arga-
 ment For New Trial.

ment For New Trial.
 ALBANY, N. l., March While senators, assemblymen and state off, cers were being turned away from the door on account of lack of room inside Albert T. Patrick sat before the robed judges of the court of appeals here and heard ex-Senator David B. Hill argue his appeal from the judgment convicting him of the murder of Will liam NJ. Rice, the New York million aire. The unusual event of a con- demned murderer attending the argu- ment of his own case before the high est state court brought crowds of peo- pie to the capitol, but only small proportion of them were successful in getting. sight of the prisoner. Pat rick's original intention was to ad- dress the court, but upon the. advice of his counsel he remained silent, con- tentlng himself with listening to the argument and making notes, which he used afterward with Mir. Hill regard ing the rebuttal.
 He was defended by ex,Senator Hill Snd Samuel Bell Thomas of New York. Assistant District Attorney Howard Cans was assisted in the pros- ecution by former Supreme Court Jus tice Judson s. Landon.
 MT. Hill argued that the judgment of conviction should be reversed and a new trial granted upon the ground that no murder had been committed and that Rice had died, as the attending physician testified, from old age and weak heart as remote cause. with indigestion and diarrhea. with mental worry, as the immediate cause.
 The case is expected to continue two days. .....,,.
