Chase'S Theater

The sixth anniversary week at Chase's
theater is marked by vaudeville enter
tainment of superior excellence There is
nothing mediocre about the program, every
number being well above the average The
bill is sufficiently varied to suit all tastes,
and, apparently, it does. The opening
feature is Van Camp, announced as a
unique puzzler." He is a magician en-
titled to prominent place in the front
rank of the opponents of legerdemain and
mysticism. Van Camp presents what he
contends is the quickest substitution act in
the world. Harry Gifoil of "A Trip to
Chinatown fame proved that he is more
popular than ever. His character portrait
ure OF an elderly sport and his famous irni-
tations of animals musical instruments and
the like last evening earned numerous en-
cores. David Earl Meyer, tot of a
pianist SO small In stature that he could
not use piano stool, but stood in front of
the instrument, appeared in place of one of
the advertised features, and convinced the
audience that he il a musical prodigy
Emil Hoch, Jane Elton and Martha E. Du-
PREF appear in farce full of action en-
titled Mile. Ricci. Vocalism of a high
order is supplied by the Castle Square
Quartet, the members of which render Sc
lections from 'Attila," .'Boccacio" and
comedy, When Georgina was 49, is in
terpreted by the Barrows-Lancaster Com
pany. Mr.. Barrows has long been a strong
favorite here. One of the best exhibitions

given by the Kaufman Troupe of six

VICTORY FOR ISLANDERS.
Trouble in Virginia Over Leasing Tan
gier Island Beds.

Thirty-one Tangier Va.) islanders who
rebelled against the state authorities last
summer and would not allow the surveying
and leasing of certain oyster beds in Tan
gier sound were indicted several weeks ago
by the grand jury and tried at Onancock
last week and sixteen of them We're con-
victed of unlawful assembly and were fined
81 each. The result of the trial is the cause
of great rejoicing among the Tangierites,
who are practically sustained by the courts
in the position they took. The trouble grew
out of an attempt of the Virginia state
board of fisheries to lease to private party
certain oyster lands which the people
claimed were natural oyster beds which
had been held in common by their fathers
since the settlement of the country. They
said the food and clothing Of their families
depended on the products of the sea COM
ing from this land and they were greatly
angered at the proposal to lease them.
When the chairman of the state board
came to survey the lands the islanders came
out in boats and as fast as the surveyors
would plant stakes, the rebels would pull
them up, and openly defied the state au-
thorities. Finding he could do nothing the
chairman retired, but in a few days re-
ginia at his back. The islanders were not
at all overawed by the display of force, but
repeated their former tactics and serious
trouble was only averted by the lessee Civ
ing up his lease. The Indictment and trial
of the leaders in the rebellion followed, with
the result stated and the Tangier islanders
are much pleased

argued that when the law fixes the salary
