STANDBY, "THE MIkADo"

The Californians, Tom KarPs delight
full singing organization, will return to
the Auditorium tonight after week
among the small towns, reopening to-
night in "The Mikado." The week of
this formerly presented was all too
short to enable lovers of the delight

days more should be devoted to it. Be-
ginning Thursday, the company will

SAYS CHINESE
ARE WAKING UP
Missionary from Philippines Expects
the FIowery Kingdom to Be a
World Power In Few
Years

"China will be the world power In
the far east within a few years" de-
clared Rev. Henry w. Munger, VINO
has lately returned from Iloilo, Philip
pine Islands.
Rev. Munger for several years has
been connected with a large Baptist
school at Iloilo, an institution which
is declared to be superior to the gov
ernment schools. The school at that
place is run on much the same order
as the George Junior Republic" The
nupils are largely self-governing, their
government being similar to that of
Filipino city. At the head Is the pres
ident. or mayor, and other officials IN
their proper rank.
Rev. Munger is a Baptist missionary,
but Is returning to Chester, IA, Where
he will spend year with his grand
father. Rev. Henry G.. Weston, d. D.,
president Of Crozier Theological sem
mary. At present he is making brief
stay in Los Angeles. Continuing, Rev.
Munger said:
IT firmly believe with other Ameri-
cans in that section of the globe, the
Chinese have at last awakened. This
reform is largely along educational
lines. While they are not brilliant stu
dents. they are more thorough, like the
Germans. They will make even Uncle
Sam stand around in China in a few
years."
Mr.. Munger's work among the Fill
pinos has given him a close insight
into the native character, and his oo-
servations have confirmed him in the
belief that the natives will not take
kindly to assimilation. He said, THE
Philippines are ever anti-Amer1can;
and as the people are Malay race,
they don't understand the kindness and
leniency of the United States govern
ment toward them, mistaking this hu-
name policy for weakness.
'Firmness is always required in the
school, and praise, even for those who
do we'll, but too often results in their
getting the 'swelled head Manua
training will be the salvation of the
young Filipinos, who are rather IN
cllned to despise labor as menial."

a raid on the magnate'S house and it's
Illustration by the hero, himself the
leader of the strikers, an abduction by
means of knockout drops, and few
more such. Thus there is a thrill every
moment when the comedy element is
not on top, and the story varies from
lights to shades with delightfully."- sud-
den shifts.
The Ulrich company certainly is at
home in the play; more so perhaps than
in any it has so far presented; yet,
oddly enough, some of the players are
cast in utterly unfamiliar roles. Lii
lian Hayward, for instance, portrays
the innocent young girl-can you beat
it?-who is honestly loved, and not the
tigerish villiainess she usually is. Myr-
tie Selwyn, also, is a sweet little lame
girl on crutches, instead of the hoyden
with tongue like whiplash! But
both do these queer stunts asked of
them perfectly.
Florence Barker of course, is the
magnate's daughter who loves the poor
but honest miner, and gives herself to
him in the happy end. he being Charles
Gum in proper person. Both are at
home in their work, and do it well. Les
lie King as the coal baron is too stilted
and stiff. And his whiskers are fierce.
Lee C. Bell as his wicked partner is
properly saturnine and crafty; Frank
Frayne in the Juvenile role is as jovial
as usual; Arthur Hill as the second vii
lain Markie, is good, and Harrington
J. Wheeler, the new Juvenile, who made
his first appearance yesterday, won his
audience from the first, and gives
promise of being valuable member Of
the organization. A clever bit Of char
acter work is done by Marie Bishop as
Mrs. Hammerstein.
OF course, as to the ethics of a drama
wherein the violent opposition of labor
and capital is portrayed in an impos-
sibly bitter and villainous manner, that
is neither here nor there; it is doubtful
if the Grand audiences ever knew that
ethics entered into the case. Their
sympathies were plainly with the labor
ers' sire, and they didn't hesitate to
vent their feelings most vociferously.

EXPECTS TIDE TO
RISE IN BOTTLE
MERRY JOKER "STRINGS" OHIO
DUNKARD
Wants to Take Back Full Quart Of
Sea Water, but Is Persuaded
It Would Be DAM
gerous

Charley Pike, city passenger agent
of the Salt Lake railroad. returned
from Catalina last night with two new
stories. One was that he had caught
thirty-inch yellowtail off the wharf
over there--the first fish story of the
season, so necessarily whopper-but
it was merely incidental to the other.
81 went over with some Ohio Dun
kards," said he last night. 'They had
never seen salt water before, and really
had their doubts that there was such a
thing. They rode on it, they bathed in
1t and they even tasted it. Then one
old chap from Muskingum county said
he was going to prove to his friends
at home that 1t was all SO, and he filled
a quart bottle with the briny.
"'What are you going to do with
that?' asked a Callahan.
"'Going to take 1t to Ohio to show
my folks was the reply.
"'But, man alive, you can't take a
full bottle of sea water to Ohio said
this wag
"'Why not? asked the Ohio man.
"'Why not? Cause you haven't al
lowed any room for the tide to rise in
it. When the tide comes up it'll bust
that bottle all to flinders. Pour out
about a third and give the tide room
to rise.'
"And our friend from Muskingum
county solemnly poured a. third of his
salt water back into the ocean so the
tide could rise in his bottle twice a
day."

WAY CUMP PKUWISt
WITH MUSICIANS
Burbank and orpheum Expect Harr1o.
nious Settlement, but Belasco
Will Discharge Its Orches-
ira Next Week

The controversy between the union
musicians at the Belasco, Burbank, Or
pheum and Grand theaters and the
managers of those houses over the new
wage scale submitted by the union
some days ago, will be settled this week.
In all the houses except the Belasco
the chances are that q compromise Will
be reached the musicians withdrawing
their regulation of the size of the or
chestras and the managers meeting the
10 per cent increase demanded In wages.
The limiting Of the size of the orches-
tras was the point to which the man
ayers objected most.
At the Burbank, Manager Morosco
stated last night that he had notified
his men that he would meet the raise
if that were withdrawn. and had given
them until Tuesday to 40 so. In case
this were not done, he would put in
non-union men, but that he expeeted to
withdrawal Of that clause by tonight.
Manager Drown of the Orpheum and
Grand only returned yesterday from his
vacation. While he was not ready to
make the same statement, it is under
stood that his course will be the same
as Mr.. Morsco's in this respect.
Manager Jack Blackwood of the Be-
lasco. however, has taken another view
of the situation and has notified his
present orchestra that there is nothing
doing" after this week. He has ap-
pointments with three non-union or
chestras for practice this week, and will
make a selection from them.
1--WE do not permit anyone to run our
business but ourselves" said he last
night. 1--WE object to anyone telling
us how many men we shall or shall not
employ in given department. We do
not stand for a lot of men meeting in a
hall somewhere, most of whom are not
connected with us in any way, and die
tating what we may or may not do. If
our players had come to me and said
that they needed more money the
chances are that they would have got
it. But when it comes to saying that /
must have so many men in my orches-
ira, that must pay them so much, that
/ have to put in more men than any
other stock theater in the city-I object.
They might as we'll tell me what price
1 shall get for my seats or what shall
pay the actors"
Asked if a non-union orchestra could
be installed and the union stage hands
be retained, Mr.. Blackwood said he
thought it could.
eve have contracts with our stage
hands for three years ahead,'' said he,
"and we expect the contracts TO be
kept"

ance in England at the Aldwych theater

ton from both public and critics.

CLARENCE DROWN
RETURNS AFTER TRIP
TO EASTERN CITIES

Clarence Drown, manager of the Or
pheum and Grand theaters, returned
Yesterday after four weeks spent in the
east. California looks good to the
theatrical man after the cold, rainy
weather of the east.
There will be six new houses added
to the Orpheum circuit this summer,
he says, all of which will open in the
fall. Duluth, Butte, Seattle, Tacoma,
Portland and Des Moines are all to
have new houses
Yesterday marked the closing of
every house on the circuit with the ex-
ception of San Francisco and Los An
geles for the summer season. When
the new houses in the north are in
operation 1t is probable that they will
be kept open throughout the summer,
giving acts which come to the coast in
summer twelve weeks instead of four
as at present.

A Philadelphian said of Miss Anna T. Jeanes, who has given s1.000, 900 for negro education in the south:
 Miss Jeanes is splendid philan. thropist. To good cause she is gen. erosity itself. Giving promptly and freely, she has no sympathy with niggards. I once heard her tell a story about a 'niggardly rich man of her childhood.
 . This man visited a school and made an address. At the end he called little boy up to him and said:
 My lad. have you a purse!'
 "'No, sir
 t "T'm sorry oaid the rich man. If you had purse. should have given you dime to put in it.
 This man was scheduled to speak again at the school the next month, and when he came the boys were pre- pared for him. An empty purse lay hid in every pair of trousers. . And sure enough, at the end of the speech. the man called another boy and said:
 Have you a purse. my sonT
 "'Yes. sir was the eager answer.
 -T'm glad of It." said the other. If you hadn't. should have given you dime to buy one with San An tonio Express.

"coME SEVEN, ELEVEN"
Budding Business Man "Makes Good"
 to His Admiring Parent.

When Sam came back from college his father didn't think he would make good as a business man because he hadn't had practical experience, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Sam's mother pleaded so hard his father de- cided to let him do some of the buy ing for the house. but he shook his head and said:
 "The boy will lose money for me, sure."
 A few days later a salesman for a wholesale house came in and Sam took him to the buying room. Sam's moth CT was so anxious to learn that her faith in the boy was justified she stood near the door and listened. After re- maining there for a while she ran into the store and said to her husbaud:
 Jacob. the boys all right He is in there insisting on bigger discount than we ever got. I heard him. He's hollerin' seven. eleven You know, Jacob, we never got better than six per cent. for ten days. He's got the making of the business man."
 But Sam was playing little game of craps with his friend, the sales. man. who was classmate at college.

Mekeever Man Says He has Solved Problem of Eggs In Winter.

Hiram Scott, of McKeever. believes he has solved the vexatious problem of making hens lay eggs when they don't want to. If he has, . road to wealth is open to farmerN He cer> tainly made his biddies come to the scratch and profited thereby.
 The discovery was largely due to accident, but if MT. Scott hadn't been an observing kind of ma1 he would still be minus the great secret. , One night last winter when his hens couldn't be coaxed to perform their duty, he left lantern hanging in his henhouse and forgot it. Next morning he was shocked to find the light still burning. for the lantern had little oil in it and might have blown up. Such things have happened,
 But the farmer had greater sur prise in store for him. All the hens cackled and in their nests were a dozen fine white eggs.
 It was plain that 12 of the IS hens
 
 hadn't accomplished such feat in. a month he judged the lantern had something to do with it. Whether 1t was the added warmth or the rays of light he didn't know, but it was plain that the eggs had been laid.
 Next night the lantern. well filled with oil, was left in the same place and more eggs were laid. The follow. ing night the lantern was not lighted and not an egg greeted Mir. Scott's gaze in the morning.
 It having thus been established that the hens wouldn't lay except under artificial light. the lantern was there after provided.

IA REAL DOC HERD.
SAVES HIS FAIR MISTRESS FROM
 FOUL HANDS OF BURGLAR.
Desperate Encounter Ends In the Van quishlng of the Intruder After He Had Threatened the
 Lady with Death.

The scene of this romance Is cer- tain house in Poplar Grove, Birming- ham, and the heroine Mrs. Rogers, the wife of an auctioneer of that city.
 One Wednesday evening in January of this year Mrs. Rogers was alone reading in her drawing room. On a rug before the fire fine boarhound lay sleeping.
 A silence hung over the house. At the other end of 1t no doubt the serv- ants were moving about, but the sound of their footsteps did not penetrate the room. Mrs. Rogers glanced at the clock and wondered how much longer her husband would be before he re- turned from his office. The boarhound rose to his feet, stretched himself, and with luxurious yawn sought to continue his siesta beneath the table.
 Time went on. Presently Mrs. Rogers turned in her chair and glanced at one of the windows. A pc culiar scratching noise had attracted her attention. Her heart began to throb nervously. Was 1t mouse in the easement, she wondered? But the loudness of the scraping dispelled this hope. Suddenly the window fastener shot back with sharp click.
 Now thoroughly terrified, the lady stood up and gazed wildly at the win. dow. There was no mistaking the sound.
 Some one was endeavoring to break into the house.
 She turned toward the door. At that instant the sash was hurled up violently, and the leg of a man showed beneath the blind. In a moment he stood before her, a burly ruffian, his eyes fierce with greed.
 With gruff voice the man, placing himself before the door, demanded that the terrified lady should hand over all that she possessed.
 T have no money with me-" Mrs. Rogers answered.
 At this the ruffian broke into oaths and repeated his demand
 T will give you everything have" the lady persisted; "but really have no money"
 Then said the burglar, If you don't give me money I shall kill you"
 Now filled with deadly fear, for the ruffian looked murderous enough to carry out any threat, Mrs Rogers bethought herself of the dog, who had been a passive witness of the scene. She beckoned to the animal. The burglar glanced at the table. Then his eyes stared out with horror. A heavy body, headed by two level rows
