TWO HOURS WITH
YOUR UNCLE DUDLEY

Uncle Dudley" furnished two hours
of real amusement to a fair-sized au-
dience at the Orpheum last night The
| play is a farce comedy written around
love, hypnotism and pugilism. and runs
through three hilariousIy funny acts.
There is a wide diversiication of char
acters and the clever company at the
Orpheum handled every character in
| splendid style.
Uncle Dudley, played by Mr.. Cooley,
has a nephew, Charles FuIlalove (Mr
Dey), who stays away from home until
a late hour every night. He has in
vested his money in a music hall with
out his uncle's knowledge, but Uncle
Dudley thinks he has fallen into evil
ways and so hires a hypnotist, Profess
sor Tranz, QLionel Swift to put Charles
under his spell ard by hypnotic sug-
gestion compel him TO return home ear
" every evening. Charles succeeds
in turning the tables and Uncle Dud-
ley is himself hypnotized, revealing
while in the hypnotic state that
he had been something of rake
during his youth. Meantime
a concert hall singer, calls to see Mr..
Fullalove on business, and Uncle
Dudley flirts with her. A stop is put
to the Irritation by Peter-Sledge
George Kenneth), Titles prizefighting
sweetheart. who arrives on the scene
full of fight and buster. Peter, how
ever, succumbs before the attack of
Winnifred Tiverton Miss Kingsbury),
an athletic young woman who believes
all pugilists are heroes and who is
crazy to see a real fight. Her desire
is gratified in the end, when Peter
and the Glasgow Gillie are matched
for fight at the Apollo hall. Uncle
Dudley appears at the hall in search
of his nephew and Professor Tranz
once more hypnotizes him. AS the
Glasgow Gillie fails to appear, Uncle |
Dudley in his hypnotized state goes
into the ring and Sledge comes out
second best.
The action of the play is so rapid |
that the spectators do not have time
to recover from one spasm of laughter
till they are in the throes of another.
the clever little play is
one of the best things the company
has done and is sure to please. 1t
will be presented tonight, tomorrow
night and tomorrow afternoon at the
Christmas matinee.
Following it, "At Risk OF His Life"
/ melodrama, is to be played.

DETECTIVE LEAFS OPINION.

In all my six years on the Homo
lulu police force, this is the quietest
Christmas from a police standpoint
that l have ever SEEN" remarked De-
tective Joe Leal last night, with a
rather disguised look on his face.
Why, at this time of the year on
other Christmases there was always
something for us to do. You remem-
Der last year this time? We had
robberies of all kinds and hold-ups in
Thomas Square and something to do.
Now all the robberies we seem to get
are pig pens and bootbiack stands.
Well. so long. think I'll have to find
a crap game to keep me from getting

KOREAN SCHOOL CELEBRATES.

Happy Christmas exercises We're held
last night at the Korean Sunday school
and day school on Punchbowl street, an
interesting program of Christmas music
and appropriate addresses being given
by the pupils and others. Part of the
exercises were in English, but the
greater part was in the home tongue
of the boys and girls of the schools and
therefore the more enjoyed by them.
Rev. John w. Wadman and Frank
Damon were in charge of the fete and
gave Christmas addresses during the
evening.

MIR. IsosHIMA's STATEMENT.

X. Isoshima, in speaking of the hoH-
day trade, remarked that his trade
this year had been large and he attrib-
uted it to two causes. Early and lib
eral advertising and a large stock of
goods which he is selling at popular
prices. The demand for the more ex-
pensive articles has been about the
same as last year but for the cheaper
ones it is larger. For that reason, he
says, he made a big reduction in prices
early in the season and has kept it up.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Nov. 1.-THE
shake-up in the official family at the
State Capitol which has ceased its
activities for several weeks was re-
newed Friday when Hon. r. H. Bart
lett, Of Robertson County, assumed
the Office of Clerk of Mining Depart
ment, succeeding John d. de Graffen-
reid, of Franklin. The appointment
of Col. Bartlett came as acomplete sur
prise to most of the Capitol folk, al
though the fact has been generally
known that some change in the De-
partment of Mining and Labor statis-
tics would take place. Chief Mining
Inspector Robert A. Shifiett, has been
in Nashville for several days attend
ing to some very important matters
connected with his office, and his pres

probable change in the clerkship.
Few persons, with the exception of
several close friends of Col Bartlett,
were aware that any application for
the clerkship had ever been made, and
it is understood that Mr.. de Graffen-
reid knew nothing Of the change until

LOCAL MARKET
QUALITY EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD
AND FARMERS ARE DEMAND
ING SIXTY CENTS.
Mills Are Paying $3.50 Per Barrel But
Wagon Lots Bring Higher
Figures.

New corn is being brought to Co
lumbia almost every day now and the
quality OF the stable is equal to the
very best Of any past year and is much
better than that of last year. There
are very few rotten ears in load and
the ears are large and well formed.
Some very large loads containing as
much as thirty bushels are being
brought in. The crop in some sec
tons is exceptionally good, while In
others it is not equal to the average.
However, there Will be plenty OF corn
in Maury county this year.
The farmers are demanding SO
cents per bhshel, but the mills here
are not paying but so cents. There
have been good many sales made in
wagon load lots at the higher figure.
The price is better this year than IL
was last when the season opened, ana
there are those who predict that high
water mark will be reached In the
price for corn before next summer.
However, the crop of the country Is
enormous this year and an excep-
tionally heavy rise in prices is not
generally anticipated.
