WILL WALK TO NORWICH.

Harry Ball of Dover, N. H., an out fielder engaged by Norwich this sea son, ought to be in good condition when he reports to Captain Tighe at the close of next week. Ball is go- ing 10 start from Dover on foot and as the distance is 150 miles he thinks the training stunt will put him in fine fettle. He expects to make about twenty miles day. Ball says that when he gets to Norwich he will bc ready for the tap of the gong and fin condition to prove what he says he hopes to be, profitable investment for Norwich. Going to walk, is hey' said Captain Tighe. Well, he'll do it all right If he should start to run it wouldn't take him long to get there. He can certainly more than sprint af- ter ball and if he don't make a hit with the crowd, I'll miss my guess"

BOWLING NOTES

It is to be hoped that the second teams of the Wooster and Casino al leys will roll the third game more quickly than the first fives of these alleys. By the way, when is that de- ciding contest to be rolled?
 Good practice, poor game. Judg- ing from the work of Curtiss yester- day that saying still holds good.
 It takes the newspaper men to break records and win match games.

"HUMAN HEARTS,"

Arkansas has often been the
theme of song and story, and no
melody ever written has evolved
more genuine pleasure than THE
Arkansas Traveller" The same
may be said of Human Hearts
which is a strong story, dealing
with life in the Arkansas hills, only
in addition to laughter it is min
gled with heart interest and tears.
This seasons company secured
by Manager Vaudeville will be far
superior to any ever engaged to
portray this strong play. The
scenic equipment this season will
be entirely new; the past summer
has been devoting to securing new
models and the building and paint
ing of new scenery.

AT THE WASHINGTON.

AT THE WASHINGTON.
The coming week at the Wash
ington theater will be a red letter
one, an unusually strong number of
attractions being billed. Every
number is replete with promise,
and the show for the week should
be one of the strongest yet seen
here
Field and Hanson, minstrel kings,
have a black face comedy and mu-
steal act that is ranked as a top
notcher and will no doubt be re-
ceived favorably by vaudeville low
ers here. Marie Laurens, queen
of song, Is an operate vocalist of
rare charm who has captivated au-
diences in the principal eastern
cities and who will no doubt repeat
her triumphs in Spokane.
Del-a-Phone is a mimic of mar
velous ability, and his limitations
are pronounced perfect by eastern
critics. He comes to Spokane di-
rect from the Keith's eastern cir
cult and his act should prove one
of the most interesting that has
ever been seen here. Rossley and
Rostello have a rollicking Irish
comedy sketch that is said to be a
laugh maker of the first water.
Other strong numbers on the bill
for the week include the marvellous
Rousell, exponent Of physical cul-
ture and Roman ring artist, and
Walter Wilson, whose sweet voice
is heard to advantage in the illus
trated songs. New and novel pic
lures on the biograph will conclude
a performance which should be
even stronger than the bill for the
present week, which has been so
well received by the patrons of the
Washington.

LOUIS JAMES RlCHELiEU.

All the majesty and innate dig
nifty and Imperialism of the char
acter Of Cardinal Richelieu was
brought out by Louis James in his
production of Bulwer Lytton's clas-
sic at the Spokane last evening. In
his reading of the lines Mr.. James
was impressive, while his portrayal
of the character itself was power
full. All through the portrayal Mr..
James emphasized the feebleness
of age with a dramatic power
which won for him the admiration
of the audience and the climax of
the drama at the close of the
fourth act was given with tremend,
Gus power.
The cast supporting the star is
well selected. Miss Aphie James
made a delicate, and at the same
time strong Julie, while Norman
Hackett gave the audience superb
portrayal of De Mauprat. Mention
should also be made of Miss Terese
beagle, who as Francois added
much to the Presentation.
Mr.. James and his Company are
presenting Ingomar this afternoon
and tonight will give Sheridan S
Knowles tragedy, Virginius.

The Press doesn't take a fall out
of Senator Ben Tillman, the man
who antagonizes, grills, abuses and
affronts the administration.
Don't be in a hurry.
Opposition is a fine thing. A ma
tional objector is not without his
uses. 1t is good to have the light
turned on all sides of every ma
tional question.
Ben Tillman, with his intensity,
his forcibleness, his fearlessness, is
a sort of national balance wheel.
His honesty is not doubted and he
can be depended on to say what he
thinks, no matter whom it hurts.

philanthropies and big graft.
