AIcaza<.

A stranger dropping into the Alcazar last
night and witnessing the performance of, the
Belasco- Mills comedy drama, The WIFE,
would wonder that three leading men should
act side by side in the same company and the
same play. Messrs- Charles Waldron. Lee
Baker and William r. Walling are the leading
men this week and the gratifled audience lib
orally and impartially divides its applause
among the three. Waldron and Walling re-
ceive 1t deservedly for the virility OF their act
ing and Baker Cor his faithful portrayal Of the
Iago-like Matthew Culver.
Mis- Edyth Evelyn "the wife" has ample
scope for the display OF her emotional talent
and earned the ringing up of the curtain at the
end OF the second act. Juliet Crosby holds the
stage with no less interest py her faithful pre-
sentation Of the jealous creole. The comedy
is furnished by Maher, Osbourne and Efhe

THIRD PASTURE.

Now we come to a frisky lot.
the Labor Union editors. You
know down in Texas a weed
called LOCO" is sometimes eaten
by a steer and produces a de-
rangement of the brain that
makes the steer ''batty' or crazy.
Many of these editors are 'Lo-
coed" from hate of any one who
will not instantly obey the de
mands" of labor union and it
is the universal habit of such
writer's to go straight into a
system Of personal vilifcation.
manufacturing any sort of false
hood through which to vent their
spleen. We assert that the COM
mon citizen has right to live
and breathe air without asking
permission of the labor trust and
this has brought down on us the
hate of these editors. When they
go far enough with their libels,
is 1t harsh for US to get judgment
against them and have our law
yers watch for a chance to at
tach money due them from
others? (For they are usually
irresponsible.)
Keep your eye out for the ''Lo-,
coed editor.

lay, in hope they would find some loved

batants are scattered over the town,
and are each provided with whistles,
which they blow in order to bring as
sistance.
When a scrimmage occurs the Chi
namen give vent to their feelings in
the most peculiar noises, frequently
shrieking with delight Their yells Of
triumph which resound through the
air when the ball is discovered, are
likened by one who has heard them to
the "plaintive cry of pig that has
been speared" The charging is gen
orally done with the head.
The only precautions taken by them
on the foot ball field is for the pres
ervation of their pigtails, which are
cared for as though they were worth
a thousand times their value. With
this exception they throw caution to
the winds and devote themselves with
all their strength to the play.
