DULUTH, Aug. IA packed house
at the Lyceum witnessed the Mayor
of Toxic" and left the theater Monday
night satisfied that they had seen a
performance of number one quality.
The piece is one of Richard Carries
best productions and was presented by
an excellent chorus and a score of bal
let dancers who rendered some very
good songs and dances.
The scene which was to represent
the palace and gardens of the mayor
was magnificent.
jeanette Mayhem, who took the part
of an American heiress travelling ia
pan, was very charming. Ethel Till
son as oloto San, the daughter Of the
Kow Tow, was also very good.
John L. Kearney, with his funny
sayings and jokes, kept the audience
in a good humor and received any
amount of applause.
The geisha girls, with their pretty
little songs and dances, added much to
the. piece and received their share of
the applause.-Daily star.

CHAMPION WINS
OVER LIEFSON
Threw the Young Miner
Twice ID TWenty-FOur
Minutes

WALLACE, Sept S.-Charhe Deli
vuk, the champion of Austria and Can
ada, was the victor over Ludwig Lief
son, the young miner from the Stan
dard mine, says the Times, in match
wrestled in the catch as catch can
style in the Eagles hall. Delivuk had
claimed that he could throw Liefson
being up on the challenge.
Delivuk had a good match in
strength in his opponent, in fact Lief
son was considerably the more muscu-
lar. Liefson also had the advantage
in weight tipping the scales at 1876
pounds while Delivuk wegher' 1873
pounds. But what Delivuk lacked in
weight and strength he made up in
skill and had little difficulty in PIN
ming the shoulders of his opponent to
the mat.
The first bout lasted but 10 min
utes, Deivuk gaining the fall with a
half-nelson and a crotch hold. The
second bout was four minutes longer,
Delivuk getting the fall in IA minutes
with half-nelson and a Caesar hold.
Both We're pin falls.
w. H. Batting acted as refree of the
match. Thebarge, who wrestled Deli
vuk at Spokane and Garthie in WAL
lace, was present and was called on to
act as referee, but Liefson didn't want
Thebarge, possibly fearing that the
latter's bout with Delivuk might
prejudice him
The main event of the evening was
preceded by three five minute bouts
between Roy Thebarge and Morton
Roach, the 7-year-old boys who have
exhibited here frequently of late. The
boys put up a good show Roy extri-

PLEASED WITH
MAYOR OF TOXIC
How the Opera PIeaSeS
Eastern Critics and
Audiences

! WINNIPEG, Aug. 30.-Of the very
large audience assembled In the Wal
ker theater last night but few had the
slightest idea what The Mayor of
| Toxic was all about. And none cared.
1t sufticed that a brilliant series of
Kaleidoscope pictures succeeded one
another in rapid sequence. Seldom
have more gorgeous costumes been
seen on local stage and there is lit
tie doubt but that the claim of the
press agent that the piece is exactly as
produced in New York is fully borne
out. The two sets are most elaborate
and blend tremendously with the many
and varied costumes, the greatest taste
being displayed in the color scheme.
The chorus is unusually excellent,
the voices being much above the aver
age, and their owners bright, vivacious
and several of them quite pretty. Much
of the success of the opera is due to
them.
The description, farcical opera, is
quite appropriate if the accept be
placed upon the farcical. Generally
speaking, it gives the principals but
little chance, either from an acting
point of view or vocally
The prima donna, Miss Ethel Till
son, who it will be remembered made
so good an impression in the city about

has altogether too little to do. She
has pleasing soprano voice with a
bell-like upper register and one hears
it but too little. 1t is good material
wasted.
In Miss Jane Griffith the manage
ment has that rarity, a woman COM
edian, and one who is not afraid of
making up ugly" though one has
reason to believe she is comely How
ever that may be, she is clever to the
tips of her well-formed hands. She
and John L. Kearney are practically
responsible for "all the fun of the
fair" Her makeup is distinctly funny,
while her by-play every now and
again set the house off into roars of
laughter. She is also clever dancer.
OF the men, Mr.. Kearney stood alone.
He has one or two harmonious songs

RICH HEIRS TO
BLACK BOOTS

! LONDON, Sept. 18.-Marshall Field
Ill, heir to 100000 900, and his broth
er, who will share with him the huge
fortune of the dead Chicago merchant
prince, will black boots cook meals
and act as Wallets to some arrogant
sixth form boys when they enter Elton
this month.
One of the time-honored customs Of
England's most ancient university is
Tagging" The flag" is a junior class
lad who has to serve a sixth form
man as valet, backing his shoes, pre-
pairing his breakfast and taking care
of his clothes.
1t is said on good authority that the
two Field boys are destined for ca
reers in England's army and navy re-
spectively. These, of course, are the
swagger professions in England for
the scions OF noble or wealthy fami-
lies, and quite few Americans have
placed their sons in the army, notably
in the case of young Aston.
At Elton they will consort with mar
quises, earls, barons and baronets ga
lore, and with some of these young
peers will have to do their turn at
tagging for the sixth-form boys.
When the Fields first came to Lon
don the boys were in care Of gov
erness and a tutor. But this entailed
a residence of some sort, which Mrs.
Field could not at that time decide
upon. She was advised to send the
boys to one of the big public schools
and left to them the choice. Young
Marshall Field at that moment was
busily engaged in reading that fasci-
mating boys book, tom Browns
Schooldays." AS all know, the interest
in this centers at Rugby. So the boys
chose Rugby.
Mrs. Field then instructed real es-
tate agents to look for a house in the
neighborhood. She wanted one where
she could be near the boys and large
enough to entertain her friends as well
as theirs when they came back from
their holidays. After great deal of
looking around, she selected a beauti-
full Elizabethan mansion standing In
large grounds few miles from the
historic school. She spent much mon
ey on alterations and redecoration and
furnishings.
The boys went to Rugby and enter
ed the modern side of the school But
it was their first experience in an Eng
lish public school. and they frankly
told their mother they did not like it.
The English boy at Rugby appears to
be down on Americans. and the two
Chicago lads did not have quite the
same pleasant experiences as their
hero. atom Brown"
When Mrs. Field proposed to her
sons that they should go to Eton they
were delighted. for there, in addition
to the other sports. was the river and
the rowing. They were obliged to fin
ish their two terms at Rugby, however.
and now win begin at Eton.
Mrs. Field is DESTROYS Of being near
the youngsters. and it is for this rea-
son that she viii become the neighbor

table Americans and English nobility

BRITT NO LONGER
IDOL OF FANS


Edward Britts resurrection was moth
ing but temporary affair, a matter
of weeks. He played hockey from
the pugilistic morgue, but the old
master caught him at it and at the
present writing the native son is back
on his little slab, deader than Ram
eses III, and twice as unpopular as the
ancient slave driver ever was.
There is a growing suspicion that
the geese who lay the golden eggs
have again been. plucked by the Britt
contingent. In the first place, up to
the present time, Britt has brought
no positive proof that his wrist was
broken on the afternoon of the 9th. He
has blocked every attempt to get at the
truth of the matter and refused to sub
nit to an examination at the hands Of
the interested persons. He has the
wrist in plaster cast, and it will
probably remain there for several
weeks.
Now just for the sake of the argu-
ment, suppose that Britt really sus-
tanned a severe injury on the afternoon
of the fight. Would he have left the
ring at once, after refusing to continue
the fight, or would he have stayed long
enough to make sure that all the news
paper men were satisfied? Would he
not realize that the only thing that
could save his patched reputation
from final bombardment would be
the most public exhibition of his in
jured wrist? Nothing but that bro
ken bone coald have saved Britt from
being branded as a gutter, and know
ing this the Britts have tried to make
the facts as hard to get at as possible
A weIl-known sporting man sat near
BIRTHS corner andSas the gong sounded
for the close of the fifth round he
watched the native son come back to
his corner
His face was twisted all up as if
in severe pain, and he could hardly
ed L can't go on. My arm is broken
thought then that he was suffering
great agony and his face and the tone
of his voice bore out the superstition"
All right, but listen to this: James
Edward fought Joseph once before and
the battle" was the greatest fiasco
the coast has ever seen. He hammer
ed Cans all over the ring for four
rounds, deliberately fouled him toward
the close of the fourth round and re-
peated the offense in the fifth. The
whole thing had been carefully PLAN
ned, and Britt was just as guilty as
Cans.
After Graney had given the decision
to the negro, Britt knocked the ref
cree down and mauled him about the
floor, and when torn away from his
victim knelt down in front of the press
row and with big tears running down
his face cried over and over again:
II had him licked! I had him lick
ed! They robbed me-"
After this exhibition of Britt's his
trionic ability, am inclined to doubt
the expression Of his face, the tones Of
his voice and everything else in con-
nection with the dramatic ending of
the last Cans fight. OF course, nothing
but an x-ray will get at the truth, but
put two and two together and you
get the answer: Britt quit"
That will be about all for James Ed
ward. They might match him with
Nelson or any other fighter but he
would not draw $500 in San Francisco.
September is certainly bad date
for the Britts.
