(For vaudeville use. the es- .sential first scene Is omitted), The start Is made with Warner tell ing that he has left his wife at home unprotected overnight. The actor thus deprives himself of any prelude, and relies on his own unsupported power of vocal and visual expression while in- forming the audience of the tragedy which is taking place at the other end of the wire. Warner is one of those slow, measured, deliberate and every thing but expeditions actors of the old school. who tire you out with their ex- oelIence. in case you are a hurry-up American with nerves that ache if they have ''to walt" still, he gets hold of the audience. and doesn't let. go. with the tragedy of the wife's murder by burg lars, which he Is supposed to. hear, but of which not sound or glimpse Is other than imaginary.

Willie Edouiu shows himself. at an- other vaudeville theatre, at first as he really is---a feeble and uncertain old man. and his stunt Is the personation of various men and women-London types of character who call at a life insurance office and are questioned as to their physical qualification to become policyholders. He changes his garments and wigs, as we'll as the makeup of his face while on the stage in full view. He sings a ditty too, and delivers a succession of "wheezes"-as English music hall humorists call their jokes. But he doesn't attempt to dance. Who that saw Willie Edouin when he was antlc with Lydia Thompsoh, or with Alice Atherton. whom he married. could have believed that he would ever stop dancing before he stopped breathing.
 The Idea that serious pIaylets are not wanted in vaudeville has been disprov- ed, but it is not clear that they may safely end otherwise than happily. The experiment. that saw Valerie Bergere try with "A Bowery Camille" bore on that point, because, like the drama of the Parisian Camille, it wound up with woe. Valerie is the small and vivid wo- man who succeeded Blanche Bates as the Japanese bride In Madam Butter fly" Now she has turned aer size and vim to account as @ slangy, slouchy girl of the Bowery. She Is at first happy as the model housekeeper and near wife of an artist; and next she is mis- erable as this AnRnde-s Camille when old Duval-now his mosner instead of his father-convince her that her love will be his ruln unless she gives him up. It Is the Dumas story, to In the Bowery. Yes, she tumbles, an she gifts wise. She'll take wots romin' to her But nottin' ud make him t'row her down-dat Is. nottin' short uv beiievin' she'd skiddooed wid another feller-- see?

Warner has SORROW here in ser-i vice with Eleanor Robson---who is so light and easy a comedian as to throw the fathers heavy, iabored method into extreme contrast.

SUMMER RATES
CANT Be CHANGED.
MINNEAPOLIS PROTESTS HAVE
NO EFFECT ON SITUATION.
Western Passenger Association Officials
Say Rates to Colorado Points Are
Lower than to Minnesota Resorts Be
cause Regular Business This Way Is
Too Good to Trife With.

Agitation in Minneapolis over the
Western Passenger associations dis
elimination against northwestern sum-
mer resorts in favor Of Colorado, has
reached the association members in Chi
cago.
The passenger traffic officials own
that they have received the usual lot of
complaints, with the bulk of them from
the twin cities.
sThe gist of these COMPLAINTS says
a Chicago dispatch, " is that the rates
to Colorado and some places in Wis
consin and along the east shore of Lake
Michigan are lower than those made to
Minneapolis.
"While railroad officials are always
willing to hear and consider complaints
from places that believe they are dis
t eliminated against in the matter Of
rates, they feel that there is little they
rates mentioned by the Minnesota peo-
pie who want lower rates for their sum-
mer resorts. They declare that such
rates are out Of the question inasmuch
as the commercial business between
Chicago and the twin cities is so large
that exceptionally low rates would be
SO greatly abused as to make them not
only impracticable, but impossible.
Earnings Would Suffer.
tA passenger traffic official, who
discussed the complaints today, sai0
that if the railroads leading from Chi.
cage to the twin cities were to make
as low rates to the Minnesota resorts
as are made to Colorado points, or even
| to places in northern Wisconsin ant
Michigan, they would suffer great Loss
on other lines of business. With sucl
rates in effect, a man whose business
called him to st. Paul or Minneapolis
instead of purchasing the ordinary
| tickets, would buy summer excursion
tickets and the railroad would suffer {
corresponding decrease in earnings
| "There may be some truth in this
view Of the case,'' said twin city
railroad man today, but the fact re.
mains that the association misled the
business men of the twin cities in stat.
ing that the rates were to be the same
as last year. While the minimum rate
for the round trip, from Chicago to
Minneapolis and st. Paul is the same
the thru rates have been advanced
about rs per cent over the rates made

Tomorrow afternoon mass meeting
Of the Jewish people of the city will
be held at Temple Sharai Tow, Fifth
avenue s and Tenth street, to discuss
plans for establishing home for aged,
infirm and needy Jews and free dis
pensary for the poor. The movement is
not undertaken by any faction of the
Jews of Minneapolis, but is united
movement Of all the Jewish people of
the city.
For some time plans for the home
have been under consideration. There
has been temporary organization and
tentative plans for such an institution
have been drawn up. At the meeting
tomorrow the formal organization is to
be effected and committees will be
appointed to draw up all the features
Of the proposed organizations. The
movement will be organized under the

The movers in the work are enthusi-
astic. The home will be for members
of their race only, but the free dispen-
sary that is to be conducted in connec-
ton will be free for all, irrespective of
race or creed. In other large cities

the aged and needy are cared for. AL
ready about $500 has been secured or
promised, and with the completion of
the organization several generous dona-
tions sufficient to make up the first

persons. Iii. "

us to begin in small way,' said
Rabbi s. N. Deinard Of the Sharai Tov
congregation today. "All our people
are interested. We will begin as we
are able, possibly in rented quarters
and work for better things. The home
will be for members Of our race only
tho no suffering person would be re

NEW BUTTER EXCHANGE
= REGARDED AS A JOKE

Minneapolis produce and commission
men are smiling over the announce.
ment that the st. Paul Commercial
club has appointed committee to-
formulate plans for making st. Paul a
butter city by the establishment OF a
butter exchange, where the butter of
the state may be Skinned and 'distrlb-
uted to the hungry, BUTTERFLIES world.
Another smile was occasioned by the
announcement that st. Paul was the
logical point for the exchange, q. as
"dairymen .disposing Of butter In st.
Paul could visit the stockyards at
as they require. - The idea Of dairy
men buying beef COWS in South st. Paul
for dairy purposes is regarded as
real joke.
Minneapolis has had the bulge on the
butter business of: the state for many
wears, say local produce men: Three
times the amount of butter sold IN St.
Paul is handled here amounting to
about 100000 pounds a year. The
Minneapolis butter market is known
and recognized all over the country,
and while only feature Of the Min
neapolis produce business, it is most
important. Many Of the largest
creameries and dairies of the state have
marketed their butter here for years
and would not leave the superior con-
nections possible here.

Protect Their Pets.

During the last two weeks the chill
dren have Learned to realize that the
Humane society and the Jim Key
Bands of Mercy have the legal power
to protect animals from abuse and some
of the little ones are regarding these
organizations as better than the police
An officer Of the Humane So
ciety overheard the following 9 tiff -
between two little girls on Third ave-
nue., which illustrates their faith:
The children were playing on oppo-
site sides Of the street, one with her
dog and the other with a big gray cat.
Presently Master Dog espied Miss
Pussy and made d dash across the
street at her.
Pussy's back went up and she braye-
ly turned and faced the dog, ready to
defend herself. Her little mistress
picked up stick and hurried to her
rescue. The little girl across the street
called out:
Don't you touch my dog!" ~
will if you don't call him away from
my cat!' pussy's owner replied.
If you hurt my dog. I'll tell the
Humane society on YOU"
IF you don t take your dog home,
Ill tell the Jim Key Band of Mercy
on you, screamed the other child. Her
mother neard the Troupe DY InlS tlme

children and their pets.
