ALDO PLEASES
LARGE AUDIENCE
AT THE MASON

Aldo the Great-Aldo with gowns the
envy of the fair sex, Aldo with wigt
and makeup enough to stock beauty
establishment, Aldo ventriloquist, Aldo
tenor, Aldo baritone, Aldo the SOU
brette, Aldo the serpentine dancer
Aldo, Aldo, Aldo, till you want to hol-
ler 'stop."
Thus is the contribution of the Ma.
son to the amusement list during the
first half of this week.
For two hours and u half Aldo, the
Italian who has appeared before the
crowned heads Of Europe, kept large
audience on the alert in an effort to
follow his rapid changes.
1t was his debut in America and he
received a rousing welcome.
From the time he first appeared as
debonair young beau. with a smile
and button hole bouquet, until he
made his final bow as a 'mystifier in
black art" there was never pause
French and Italian ratified off of his
tongue at an astounding rate of speed
and still he seemed not to tire
During the evening the italian ap-
pears in the role of men and women OF
half the countries of the world, and
the vision of one characte has hardly
passed before the eye before another
one comes ON. ..rs
That Aldo would be preferable served
up in smaller doses, is indisputable
for versatile as he is, one man and
one man only during a whole even-
ing is wearing ON the nerves.
In a vaudeville stunt. he would in
Spire desire for more, but as Aldo
the Whole performance, he is sufficient
BY far the most clever of his turns
is the impersonation and imitation OF
some of Europe's most famous COM
posers. He stands before the foot
lights and directs the orchestra as each
composer would direct a similar band
of musicians. In the time that it takes
for the orchestra to change from one
piece to another he changes his
makeup.
The impersonation of Verdi was one
of his best and as Mascagnl, Wagner.
Straus and a dozen or more others, he
is clever.
Aldo the ventriloquist, is heard I'm
THE Masked Ball." soprano and bar
itone duet A one-act comedy eXtrava
gan2a, written by Aldo, requires thirty
transformations. Features of Paris
and London cafes are introduced In
another turn and some fair dance acts
are given.
AS La Loie Fuller the serpentine
dancer, he gives / clever performance,
representing among other things the
flags of various nations. In slight of
hand performance he wins the audi
ence by revealing the tricks OF the
trade. He first fools them and then
shows them how he did it. Nf
Some of his gowns are wonders of
the designers art. One black net and
pink satin creation in which he ap-
pears fails to do his figure justice, but
he evidently thinks this part exceeding
creditable as he has some one present
him with a bouquet of gorgeous paper
flowers as a token of his own esteem.
He has an especially fine collection
of opera coats, which would deligh,
even he most faslldious of the society
maids.

Various new companies and exten- sions, involving large outlay of capital, are about to be launched in Japan for the manufacture of ma chinery. and the following figures are of interest: Capital required for companies being promoted to supply water power for electric-motor pow CT, estimated at $35.700,000; for new electric light and railway com- panies and for extension purposes, $s,S25,000. of which $S,S50,0O0 will be supplied from abroad; for extension of spinning mills, $16,- 275,00o. Municipal enterprises in many cities involve an outlay of $12,610,000. New mining compan- ies are also being fioated. Their az gregate capital amounts to $17,6OO,- 900, of which $S,S50,000 is to be raised by foreign loans. New rail- way and shipbuilding enterprises represent the sum of $25,092, 900. The imports of machinery at kobi amounted in 1905 to s5,14s,000, or over three times the value imported in 1904. Of all machines. lathes made the highest increase, amount ing to $1,240,0o0. Next follow ma chimes for metal and woodwork, spinning and electric-light plant, locomotives and electric motors. Each of these various lines showed an increase of over $250,000 on the figures for 1904. Imports continue to increase, and the value of machin- cry imported during January last amounted to s515,s00 against $780, 500 for January last year.

Speaking of President Roosevelt Standard oil message. one writer says that the report in itself is an arraignment of the oil company that is perhaps not as entertaining read ing as Miss TarbelI's history of the Standard Oil company. but it con- tains much the same facts. told in a more official way and it is the most severe arraigument Of q corporation that has ever been known from such a high official source. It charges specifically that the Standard Oil Co has the practical monopoly of the oil business of the United States It refnes and handles 2s.eoo.o out of 5000.

Everything points to deliberate plot to secure the conviction of three officers of the Western Federation of Miners, says an exchange. for the. purpose of intimidating and disor- ganizing the organization which has earned the ill will of powerful mine corporations because it has battled valiantly against the attempt to re- duce the miners to condition of slavery. The New York Sun, noted for its anti-union leanings, frankly states that conviction will mean a death blow to the Federation. Here is how it puts it: " The continued prosperity and power of the Western Federation of Miners, as now con stituted, depend on the outcome of these trials. If Mover, Haywood and Pettibone are convicted the present organization cannot survive, and years will pass before another of equal influence can be formed. By their associates and by leaders of or ganized labor generally the indicted officers of the Federation are regard ed as martyrs It is we'll to keep this statement in mind in examining the character of the events that led up to the arrest of the accused off, cers of the Federation. Ex-Governor Stuenenberg was murdered by the explosion of an internal machine as he was entering his home. Who placed the internal machine where it did its murderous work was not known at first. Soon the notorious James Mcfarland of the Pinkerton agency appeared on the scene. Thirty years ago he showed himself an ex- pert in manufacturing evidence against the so-called Molly Maguires. The methods he had adopted in Pennsylvania were applied in Idaho. An informer named Harry Orchard soon came forward and made a con- fession in which he stated that he not only murdered ex-Governor Stuenenberg, but several others, all leging that he committed these murders at the instigation of the of ficers of the Federation now under arrest.

The splendors of the military and naval displays at the Jamestown ex- position next year will doubtless sur pass anything of the kind ever at- tempted in modern times. Could the great Napoleon, who was at the zenith of his power century ago, appear upon the scene and witness the grand parades of the modern warships of the world he would be amazed at the wonderful changes a hundred years had made in warships and armament. The vast difference between the new and the old will be shown at the exposition, which will be great naval, marine and military celebration, participated in by the nations of the world with their finest soldiers and ships. While this in teresting exposition will commem- crate the 300th anniversary of the first permanent English settlement 1t will be primarily a naval and mili- tary celebration, in which the flower of the great armies and navies of all nations will join. A drill plain. con taining thirty acres, occupies place of prominence on the exposition grounds. where the soldiers of all nations will be seen on dress parade and in various military maneuyers The pick of the great armies Of the world may be seen here in eompeti tive drills and in grand reviews be- fore presidents. princes and poten' tates.

1t quickly discontinued the practice. It has juggled the railroad tariffs, and while in some cases kept inside the strict letter of the law, 1t has taken all sorts of advantages that the law never contemplated. It has stuck to the state tariffs on oil car- rying and pieced them together so that the oil seemingly for state con- sumption only was really carried over the interstate routes. In vari- ous ways it has made direct profit of $750,00o year out of this unjust and in many cases absolutely illegal railway discrimination.
