Orpheum

This weeks change of bill at the
Orpheum contains two old favorites,
Rice and Cady, in their Weberfieldian
sketch. Bot got big hand last night
and the audience recalled the two
punsters several times until they
begged off for lack of material. Both
in their new songs and funny German
jokes Rice and Cady emulate the Rog-
ers brothers at their best.
A George AIDE SKETCH ION His Up
pers," is a clever thing and is full of
quaint iwitticisms and pungent
satire and slang that characterizes all
of AIDES work.
The leading character is that of a
"deadbroke" horseman, played by
Fred Lennox, assisted by Jean Calvert
and Mr.. Patton.
During the act Mr.. Lennox intro
duces several clever songs and his dry
humor is quickly appreciated by the
audience, who gave him warm ap-
proval last night
Herbert's dogs perform some mar
velous feats and show to what extent
canine intelligence can be developed.
The clown dog in his remarkable
jumps and the bull terrier in his "slide
for life" act are especially attractive
features of this act.
OF the holdovers the excerpts from
I'll Trovatore" by the LeBrun trio is
strong favorite and James Stevens
in particular got several encoreS last
night.
All the rest of the bill is good. with
not a weak act in 1t, and with the new
motion pictures the Orpheum bill this
week is of more than average merit.

Fischer's Theater

"Flim-Flam Hotel" the new musical
comedy presented by Fisoher's all-star
stock company last evening, proved a
most entertaining bill. The piece is
replete with good comedy situations,
bright lines. witty dialogue, numerous
catchy songs and pleasing ensembles.
The singing specialties Of Lille Suth-
erland, Carl Joho and the chorus num-
bers won unstinted applause. The
comedians, O'Brien and West, who
have become firm favorites with the
Fischer audiences, kept every one
laughing the entire time they were on
the stage. The Musical Shirleys fur
nished the vaudeville part of the pro-
gram and proved a most entertaining
feature with their clever musical act,
which is one Of the best ever seen
here in the vaudeville houses. The
"Flim- F'lam Hotel" will continue for
the balance of the week with a mat
inee every day.
At the opening performance last night
of "The Man of Mystery" every seat

set up free lunch, with devilish gin ger ale to drink, and that the press people got riotous on ginger ale. A ginger ale jag is terrible. When a man is full of ginger ale his intestines loop the loop, and tie up in knots, and gripe like cholera infantum, and un- less his friends hold him he goes out into the world and wants to kill the women and children, and non-com- batants.
 Last year our press agents filled up the members of the local press with ginger ale, and when We struck Phil adelphia this time the newspapers had sworn out warrants for our show, on the charge of compromising a felony, which l suppose is the legal name for ginger ale. The way the Quakers pat ronize show is to put on their gray clothes. and their big white hats and

 Last year our show killed a Quaker, and the community is down on us. The Quaker got in the show because he owned half inch of ground that its tents were on. and he stood right by the ring, and when the champion female rider was suspended in the air between two bareback horses, he leaned over too far inside the ring. and she kicked his hat clear up to the roof of the tent, and a female trapeze performer up there caught it and sat down on it on the trapeze. The old Quaker had heart disease and fell dead What the Quakers complained or was that after the Quaker's re- mains had been removed from the ring. that the show went right on. They claimed that We ought to have shown proper respect to the dead by closing the show for 90 days, and

LOST IN WILDS
 OF AD|RONDACKS
SOME REMARKABLE ExPERI- ENCEs IN THE MOUNTAINS.
MAN CONE FOR MONTHS
Managed to Sustain Life on Roots and Berries Until Found by Search ers-Other Exciting
 Adventures.

Gloversgille, \. Y.-The most re- markable feature of last years mis- haps in the Adirondack region was the number of men who were lost in the wilderness. Few people realize that the Adirondack mountains. in spite of trails. streams and clearings contain stretches of forest miles in ex- tent in which one may travel for days without discovering any sign of man. kind. save old ax-marked stumps. Even experienced woodsmen become confused ol cloudy days and are una ble to find camp for hours sometimes for a day an night. The tenderfeet. or greenhOrns. have proved several times that tbe forest is no place for carelessness or ignorance of compass bearing
 The most remarkable experience re- corded of 6 lost man in the Adiron- dackes in recent years was that of Guidas Beurgault of Fall River. Mass Beurgault WIS hired last spring to watch the grounds of the Adirondack Fish and Gun club and guard it from poachers. In July, before he had be- come acquainted with the territory, he took day of fishing. He did not re- turn that night and two days later search was oi organized to find him. The search was continued for more than five weeks guides and clubmen going out daily. Hope of finding him alive was given ID, but on August 19 search CTS saw the missing man staggering aimlessly through the woods At their hail he fainted. He was carried to the club house and there cared for. He had managed to eke out his sustenanee from berries, roots and birch bark. His stout constitution and the fact

 The council of war sentenced na to be burned at the stake. and they tied him to tree and began to pile sticks around him, and pa told me to go to the circus lot and give an alarm and send the hands to rescue him Gee, but didn't I run though. and yell an alarm big enough for a massacre 1 told the hands, who were sleeping under the seats, or playing cards on the trunks that the Indians were burning pa at the stake. and some of the hands said that would serve him flght, and the fellows that were play ing cards said they didn't want 1o break up the game when they were losers, to rescue no baldheaded cur. mudgeon. l thought pa was a goner sure. cause l could hear the Indians

 Ordinarily it may be quiet enough in Philadelphia on Sunday. but pa found that he had more of run for his money than at any place we have been so far. We have had a tribe of Indians with our wild west depart ment all summer. and pa has not stood very well with the Indians since he was in charge of the show at Fort Wayne, and they all got drunk, and he had them tied up to the poles around the ring until they got sober. They have laid for pa ever since, and it was only matter of time when they got him. Then at Pittsburg our man. ager picked up a company of canni- bals that had got left over from the St. Louis fair, and who agreed to per form for their board and clothes, and as they don't wear any clothes to speak of. and only eat dog week days, and hope to get a human being to roast on Sunday, it seemed a pretty good bargain.
 Well. the Indians got permission to hold a green corn dance in a piece of woods near the circus lot, and the management got them wagon load of corn, and they had built a fire and were roasting the corn, and dancing, and pa didn't know about it, and just after dark the Quaker who owned the woods complained to pa, who was On watch Sunday night. that his Indians had got off the reservation and were preparing to go on the warpath, and he wanted them to get off his prem ises. Pa said he would go right over and drive them back to the tents.

il; q chair and crying for food and Wa te:.
 The boy told how he went on board the ship at New York one noon two days before the vessel sailed, while the men loading the vessel were off for dinner He concealed himself be- hnd some boxes. Pretty soon the men returned and finished loading that part Of the ship. As they were bonded goods the hatch was sealed.
 So close were the boxes packed that the boy was forced to stand in a stoCp- inS position. After the hatch was sealed. the ventilation was almost en- tirely cut off and he began to feel the heat. Removal of his clothes some what relieved him. The second and thirl holds above him were filled witl merchandise, making about 30 fee of freight above the hold where the boy Was imprisoned
 SooE after the vessel sailed for Gal veston the boy began suffering for food and water. He had not eaten any thlng since supper the day he entered sllS N1sS6l, Multu sb ldhtl GllH him on board, expecting to make his appearance on deck after the vessel got to sea.
 In every imaginable way the boy en- deavored to attract attention but this proved futile. He became desperate, and almost insane. Finally he aban- doned all hope of ever again seeing day
 While he weighed 150 pounds when he went on board he is now mere skin and bones. The boy said he was em- ployed in a big department store in New York city. He was not satisfi d with the treatment he received at home from his mother and stepfather. so he ran away. He desired to come 10 Gal weston and secure employment.
 The boy received such nourishment as experienced physicians and nurses considered best for one in his condi- ton. but little hope was entertained of his recovery.

that the season was warm allowed him to preserve his life for so long a time.
 An experience as severe. though of shorter duration, was that of George Fletch of Syracuse, near Cranberry lake. in the middle of October Fletch ,nd a parry of other sportsmen were hunting in the territory between Gull creek and Inlet river Fletch became separated from his companions and circled. When night came all direc- tions seemed alike and he was obliged to s.eep beside a little fire he built. To- ward morning rain came down and when day broke q three days storm was on Eietch managed 10 shoot a grouse wi,h his last cartridge and he ate ij ThiDiy clad he wandered all that day aud the next trying in vain 70 find somebody, Sleet fell and froZe to his coat; game including a moose, eyed him om little distance, appar- ently realizing that he was no longer a being dangerous to wild life. At last, after three frightful nights and days in the sleetv forest. he came to Inlet river. He did not recognize it. but while wandering along the bank all most exhausted he was found by a party of sportsmen. who took him to Oswegatchie settlement and thence sent him nome to Syracuse.
 So far as known the only fatal ter imitation os lost mans search for camp this year was when Burton Van Orman of Lake Placid lost his life. While hunting deer with several oth- CTS near indian pass late in the after noon of Oa-Cber 24 d moose was sight ed and Van Orman went in chase. He lost his way in the darkness that soon came.

BEAR HUNT ON A STEAMER
Big Polar Beast Breaks Out of Cage in a Storm and Makes Things
 Lively

London.-It Is not often that a bear hunt takes place on the dock of a steamer Such an unsual experience has befallen the crew of the Liverpool X Belfast steamer Logic
 The steamer was crossing the Irish channel carrying on her main deck a number of cages containing wild ami mals belonging to Bostock's menag- erie Owing to the pitching of the steamer one of the large polar bears became very restive and excited. Halfway across the channel a heavy wave crushed the side of the cage in which the bear was confined and freed the animal
 The bear was quick to avail itself of it's unexpected liberty, and made it's way to the upper deck. when another wave promptly washed him below again. The bear showing signs of fury. the keeper was called on the scene. the crew meanwhile seeking safety below.
 For some time Brun took things very calmly, although not relishing the seas with which he was deluged. Making for the bulwarks. it appeared as if the animal was 10 leap into the sea. but a lurch of the steamer sent him sprawling back on deck. After resorting to various devices. the bear was successfully cornered and his short career Of liberty ended. The damaged cage wa3 repaired and the animal settled down peacefully.
