list" Mr.. Hitchcock has musical play
that is proving greater success than
his Yankee Consul" was. The tour
of the company has been extended to
run until July and Mr.. Savage will
probably open Mr.. Hitchcock's New
York season with "A Yankee Tourist"
in September.
George Marion, general stage man

to New York last Monday after final

the west, and sailed for Europe the
next day on the Kaiser Wilhelm II.
He will meet Mr.. Savage in Vienna

There are about 100000 immi-
grants coming to America every year.
They usually begin life in New York
by being fleeced, and after that they
are suspicious of the American peo-
pie. The public does not seem to
fully understand the efforts the Legal
Aid society is making to transform
these foreigners into contented citi-
zens, otherwise it would not have to
ask for funds.
"As 1t is, the organization has hard
work to meet expenses. The society
was first started in 1876 for the pur-
pose of giving legal aid to worthy
German immigrants who were unable
to secure justice otherwise. 1t has
since grown and broadened until now
services are rendered all deserving
applicants, irrespective of nationality,
color or creed. The principal object
is to prevent unjust acts toward the

company did not reach Sioux City
from Lincoln, Neb.. until nearly
o'clock. On arrival. Mr.. Hitchcock
jumped into cab and drove to the
New Grand theatre where he found
the big Saturday afternoon audience
preparing to leave. Without waiting
for the usual curtain calls. he squeez-
ed his way In front of the curtain,
hat in hand and overcoat with fur
collar turned up around his pink ears,
and announced the arrival of the COM
pany. He told them the story of a
"breathless engine" that was stalled
on the prairie and followed 1t up with
anecdotes that put him in good stand
ing with the audience. He was talk
ing against time and keeping one ear
alert for the sound of the first wagon
load Of scenery that should reach the
stage door. In appearance he resem-
blem Henry w. Savage's chief car
penter and he made no effort to un-
deceive his hearers. Realizing that
curtain speech, no matter how in
teresting, could hardly be expected
to hold the audience another hour,
Hitchcock was moved to carry his de-
ception still farther with an idea that
had just occurred to him. He heard
the stage door rattle open with bang
and exclaimed:
"Ah, the company is now here! AS
l am only the stage carpenter with
this show and as Mr.. Hitchcock has
now arrived with the first wagon load
of scenery, take pleasure in intro
ducing the star of "a Yankee Tourist"
company. To assure you that we are
making every possible effort to hasten
the performance l have asked the
manager of the theatre to raise the
curtain and allow you to observe the
conduct of a working staff in full
action while setting a STAGE You
will be able to observe how much at
tention Mr.. Hitchcock gives to all the
details of his production. He is the
man in the high boots and corduroy
jacket directing the movements of the
scene shifters."
With that the curtain was raised
and the Sioux City audience had its
first opportunity to watch force OF
stage hands at work.
When Matt Van Cleve, the real mas
ter mechanic and the man with the
corduroy garments. took his position
in the center of the stage and began
to direct the placing of scenery, he
was greeted with applause and bowed
his thanks to the audience.
That's Hitchcock" announced the
comedian from the entrance waving
his hat toward big Matt. Nov, If
you will excuse me, l will retire to
the alley and attend to unloading the
wagons"
The star then "beat it" to his Dress
ing room and hustled into his first
act costume. In the meantime Van
Cleave continued to win the approba-
ton of the interested matinee goers
until it was time to ring in" the
orchestra.
Later on when Hitchcock made his
appearance followed by a score of
Yankee Tourist" girls singing the
song about the "Hanky-Panky Mil
lionaire," with which he makes his
entrance. he was greeted with an up
roar of applause, showing that the
people entirely forgave him for the
innocent deception.

General Manager Hollis E. Cooley the
other day, while glancing through a
bunch Of Henry w. Savage press clip
pings from the west, "but this Clara
Gazelle's picture in the Peoria Journal
Is new one on me-"
Looking further he found in Dav-
export paper another picture and un-
derneath was the name Sarah va.

Beacon displayed, the same picture
over the name of "Leoni Zobille."
Then came an Omaha paper with the
same face labelled "Lenora Gazallo."
Snatching up his desk phone, Mr..
Cooley called up the press department
and asked: do you know anything
about new girl named Cora GAIA
zahs with the Hitchcock company?"
ooh, that's Flora Zabelle," replied
the Office boy with laugh. Charlie
Connolly, the agent, sprained his
wrist writing kilograms from Chicago
and is probably writing the names on
his newspaper cuts with his left hand

Thomas Meighan, the handsome
Billy Bolton in one OF 1.-THE College

his home at the country town Of
Florence, S. C. While there another
former resident was paying a vaca-
ton visit to his folks. This was a
colored office boy from the big bank
ing firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., in New
York City. The boy had been per-
mitted to wear his attractive blue uni
form with brass. buttons and dashes
of gold braid, and in the eyes of the
colored population he was little less
than Wall street king as he strut
ted through the village. One day Mr..
Meighan heard the following CONVEX
satiOn between the office boy and his
old friends:
Does you ever see Mr.. Pierpont
Morgan?" asked one.
ooh, yes" said Sam, with easy
grace. "Mr. Morgan comes into our
Office mos every day."
Say, Sam, does yo' know Russell
Sage?"
Does 1 know him?" exclaimed the
boy proudly. Does 1 know him?
Why. Mistah Sage is one of ouah best
customers"
The boy held the astonished atten-
ton of his admirers for half an hour,
until 1t occurred to one of the ques-
TONERS to ask:
Sam. what all do you do in that
big building?"
What do all do?" repeated Sam,
swelling up with importance. "Why,

GREENE AND GAYNOR.


Their Appeal From Prison Sentence
Up for Hearing Today.
Associated Press to The Evening Times
: New Orleans, La, April 1.-The long
drawn-out case of John F. Gaynor and
Benjamin D. Greene, who were con-
victed of conspiracy with ex-Captain
Ober1in M. Carter in the Savannah har-
Dor improvement frauds, was called
for argument here today before the
United States circuit court of appeals.
Marion Erwin appeared for the gov
eminent and p. w. Medium for the
defense.
The case OF Greene and Gaynor has
now been pending for more than seven
years in one form or another, involv-
ing arguments before judicial bodies
in the United States, Canada and Eng
land. After the original indictment
had been found in 1899 there
followed about two years of pre-
liminary examination in New York.
Then following brief hearing in Sa-
vannah they were for more than three
years fugitives in Canada, while the
United States government carried their
cases to the privy council in England
before finally securing their extradi-
ton. In January, 1906, their trial be-
gan in Savannah, nearly five years aft
er they had been first taken there for
trial. They were declared guilty last
April on charges of conspiracy, embez-
element and presenting false claims.
Convictions were secured on the claim
that they conspired to defraud the
United States government by inducing
pNoanfonno nf thoir hide OF hiu1,or
cost than conditions warranted on con-
were sentenced to four years impris-
onment each and to pay fine of $685.
600, which equals the entire amount
paid them by the government for the
Savannah work. They are now In Jail
in Macon pending the result of the
present appeal.

Size of an Atom

Mr.. John A. Brashear, the very
learned manufacturer of exceedingly
delicate astronomical and physical in
struments, formerly director of the
Allegheny observatory and chancellor
of the Western University of Penn
sylvania, and member of great num-
Der of societies, has, in an address
before Lehigh university, given an
illustration of the size of an atom,
which is printed in the Scientific
American.
How large is an atom? affords a
question which has its analogy in the
question, How much is a piece of
cheese? Lord Kelvin said that If a
drop of water is raised to the size
of the earth and the atom is increased
in the same proportion then the atoms
size would be somewhere between that
Of a marble and criket ball. If the
reader has taken in how large an atom
is under Lord Kelvin's definition, he
will then be prepared for Mr.. Bras
hears, which is as follows:
"If you fill tiny vessel on cent?
meter cube with hydrogen corpuscles,
you place therein, in round numbers,
five hundred and twenty-five octillions
1925 ,oOo, 600, 900 900 900, 900 oo0, 900, 0O0)
of them. If these corpuscles are al
lowed to run out of the vessel at the
rate of 1000 per second it will re-
quire seventeen quintillions (17,000,-
000. 900, O00, 000,000) of years to empty
it."
The late Sir Thomas Browne indulg-
ed in some attenuated speculations in
his "Religio- Medici" some centuries be-
fore the atomis theory was rediscov-
cred. Among them was the follow
ing: How many angels can dance
upon needle point? Any one who can
answer this question satisfactorily will
be able to give better definition Of
an atom than those of either Lord
Kelvin or Mr. Brashear.

He Was NOT 70 Blame.

Little Bartholomew mother over
heard him swearing like a mule
driver, says the Cleveland Leader. He
displayed fluency that overwhelmed
her. She took him to task, explaining
the wickedness of profanity as we'll
as its vulgarity. She asked him where
he had learned all those dreadful
words. Bartholomew announced that
Cavert, one of his playmates, had
taught him. Cavert's mother was
straightway informed and Cavert was
brought to book. He vigorously de-
MED having instructed Bartholomew,
and neither threats nor tears could
make his confess. At last he burst
out: Il didn't tell Bartholomew any
cuss words. Why should l know how
to cuss any better than he does?
Hasn't his father got an automobile,

Doctor Ordered.

A Philadelphia physician says that

told him to take an ounce of whisky
three times a day. A day or so later
he made another visit and found the
man, while not so sick, undeniably
drunk.

clan demanded of Pats wife, who was
lowering about solicitously.
Sure. dochter, an tbs just what
you ordered, an no more, that he
had" she protested.
II said one ounce of whisky three
times a day; that could not make him
drunk" the physician said. He has
had much more than that"

she declared. Sure an OF didn't

LEFT IT TO THE OLD HENS.
Amateur Fancier Thought His Re-

An Indiana man tells of the efforts
of an author belonging to the IIoosier
school of historical novelists to put
in his leisure time as hen farm
er" in that state. The literary per-
sons venture afforded his agricultural
neighbors no end of amusement.
During the first year the amateur
farmer discovered that all his little
chickens, which were confined in
coops, were languishing at the point
of death. The novelist went over his
"hen literature" to locate the cause Of
the trouble, but to no avail.
Finally he called upon an old chap
named Rawlins, to whom he put the
question::
What do you suppose is the mat
ter with those chickens?"
well, l dunno" said Rawlins.
What do you feed 'em?"
Feed them!" exclaimed the novel;

anything"
Then, how'd you suppose they
was a-goin' to live?"

person, that the old hens had milk
