is in two acts. with the libretto by
 MT Carle and the music by William
 Frederick Peters. Both acts are laid in Japan which gives fine chance for gorgeous color scheme, which has
 been applied to both scenery and CO.'S tunes with a lavish and artistic hand. The songs are said to be pret-
 ty and the girls and costumes be- witching, and there are number of excellent voices in the large company besides several comedians that keep the fun going at rapid gait from
 the raise of the curtain to the finale of the last act. The plot contains all the essentials of comic opera. All the characters are interwoven into a series of most amusing situations, in terspersed with a number of ensem- bles executed by large chorus of pretty, shapely highly trained girls who sing in harmony and dance and otherwise comport themselves in a
 most pleasing and gingery fashion.
 Prices, matinee 25, 35. 50 and 75

He and sustained close relations for many years and were jointly interest ed in many large affairs. All of these transactions. as indeed all transactions in which have engaged, will bear the closest scrutiny
 Tt was at my instance that Mir. Har- riman was made director of the Hi nois Central company. and we got along quite we'll until he became am bilious to make the Illinois Central a part of the Union Pacific system. I did not believe this would be in the interest of the stockholders of the Hi nois Central. for whom held trust. and then and there Mir. Hartman and parted company
 He is quite right in saying that I borrowed funds from the Illinois Cen tral, but he should have added that the loan was made at time when we were most anxious to put out some of the surplus, that I hunted from bank to bank to loan our money. that this particular loan was made on collateral which was unquestionably ample and marketable. that several of the other directors borrowed from the company in the same way and finally that MT. Hartman himself while a director bor- rowed from the company in precisely the same manner frequently and in sums aggregating several millions of dollars.
 As a matter of business I did not then regard it as improper, nor do now. When. in the fall of 1903. I de- sired to repay the debt I proposed to negotiate new loan from Kuhn. Loeb & Co. Mir. Hartman asked me not to do so and volunteered to lend me the sum himself. and accepted his offer.
 Respecting the deposits with the Trust Company of the Republic. 1t should be said that this institution was one of the many New York trust com panies with which we carried &C., counts, that the sums on deposit fiuc- tuated with the general conditions of our very large business and that there was no padding of accounts by me. The deposit was never in danger. I was trustee of the Trust Company of the Republic. but never an officer.
 "Concerning the acquisition of the Indianapolis Southern railway. it is only necessary to refer to the records of the Illinois Central company. which will show that my action was fully and formally approved by the direct. ors."

VAUDEVILLE.

The marvellous heavy weight jug gling of Paul Spadoni Is creating big sensation at the Jacques this week, for nothing so daring or re- markable has ever been seen on local stage. Mir Spadonis recreation consists of tossing around forty-five pound cannon balls and 200-pound torpedoes and catching them on the back of his neck. He appears so in- vulnerable and impervious to cannon balls and torpedoes that he would probably cause perpetual fit of mel ancholia to any Russian anarchists who might attempt to dynamite him. As a sample of Spadonfs skill. he juggles an egg. china plate and a forty-five pound cannon ball all at one time. Then he has a 200-pound torpedo hauled to the top of an in- clined plane and as it comes rolling down and jumps on. he catches it on his neck The added feature is Julian Rose. our Hebrew friend. who pre- sents his laughable monologue. "Le- whisky at The Wedding" His stories are all new and his act is continual laugh. Hutchinson and Bainbridge have been favorably received with their act, Out All Night" This fun ny offering. written by Edmund Day. is genuinely funny and the situations are enough to cause laughter among the most hardened of theater goers. The Quartet. an excellent singing four. please with their popular se- lections. Walter Daniels, shows some fine limitations of we'll known actors. Schrode and Mulvey present The Actress and the Con" MeCrea and Pool. the sharp shooters. give a novel and exciting William Tell perform ance, and the eiectrograph shows new pictures. Popular prices.
