Hoyt's "a Texas steer"

That happy satirical farce-comedy,
Hoyt's "a Texas Steer" will be
given at the Kentucky December 3.
In "a Texas Steer" the misery Of
the life of office-seekers as told by
colored applicant from the newly
elected congressman's district is
considered one of the cleverest hits
that has graced the stage in many
years. Hoyt's faculty Of going from
the sublime to the ridiculous in dia-
logue and situations, is as amazing
as it is amusing and entertaining,
and more truisms are brought out
in his productions than in the works
Of any other American playwright
"a Texas Steer" will deseryedly
prove an immense attraction here

pared to carry out the threat he made
in the lunch wagon. Patrolman
Quinlan raised his club and brought
it down with force on Larsen's jaw,
knocking out several teeth. The man

on the sidewalk, the usual call for
assistance. Patrolman Long answer

the four bridgebuilders.
The men were arraigned before

Patrolman Timothy ]. Quinlan had
a hard struggle last night when he
attempted to arrest Olaf Borea, one
of the men employed in the construc-
ton of the New York & Long Branch
railroad bridge across the Raritan.
Shortly after l o'clock four bridge
builders, all of whom are boarding at

wagon on State street and ordered
ninety-tive cents worth of food, for
which they did not pay According
to James Curry, who was in the lunch
wagon at the time. Morris Larsen,
one of the men, said: 1.-The first man

knock him down. The four men
then left the lunch wagon and began
to act in a disorderly manner on
State street. The first man with
brass buttons to appear was PATROL

PARADE DAY EvENT6

At a meeting of the members of
the firemen's parade committee in
Lincoln Engine Company's rooms
on State street last night, several
new plans were made for the parade
and the financial question was dis
cussed at some length.
The amount of money contributed
for the parade up to this time is far
below the necessary amount and it
was decided last night to divide the
city into districts. Each local COM
pany will take a district and mae a
personal canvass of it in an Ell ort
to raise the required amount Tor
this worthy cause.
Plans were also discussed for the
various contests which will be held
in the afternoon. The first contest
will be for hook and ladder COM
panies. 1t will be a race against
time. The company which runs a
given distance, hoists a ladder and
has a man on top of it in the short
est time will win the contest. There
will also be a steamer contest il

This was what came into police

on the double quick from the West
152d street station to Mr.. Hasslach-
er's home. 1t is a big four-story
brownstone mansion.
AS Patrolman Smith drew near
the house he drew his revolver. He
was admitted by two frightened maid

The policeman deducted from the
evidence before him that the cat mao

3 HOUSES
DESTROYED
BY FLAMES.

A fire which destroyed three hous-
es called the firemen out on a still
alarm, followed later by a general
alarm from box 63 at Men Bruins
wick Ave. and Elm St., at noon today.
The houses are on Convery place op-
posite and only block distant from
the city hospital, which, had there
been a stiff breeze blowing in the di-
rection of the hospital, might have
been seriously threatened.
The blaze originated in the two
story frame house owned and occu.
pied by Hans Rasmussen, from an oil
stove. This house was destroyed be-
fore the members of Protection Hook
and Ladder and Lincoln Engine Com
panies reached the scene. The house
adjoining it one the north was de-
molished before a stream could be
gotten on it. 1t was owned and occu-
pied by Olaf Olsen. The water pres
sure was poor.
The house on the south of the Ras-
mussen place had by this time be-
come ignited and the roof quickly
became prey to the flames which
looked as if they would surely de
stroy the structure before the firemer
could check them. 1t was almost to-
tally razed. The Lincolns' steamer
did splendid work upon it's arrival.
The furniture and belongings were
gotten out of the buildings safely
The third house belongs to Adolph
Jensen.
The firemen were able to prevent
the further spread of the blaze.

What it Means to Have Money

Since MT. Rogers and Mir. Arch bold have been quoted as estimat- ing the income of John D. Rocke- feller at sixty million a year, enter prising statisticians have been figuring out it's possibilities.
 Capitalized at five per cent. Rockefeller's wealth amounts to one billion two hundred million dollars. At the average wages paid in manufacturing esta blish- ments it would require the labor of 2,25O,OO0 persons a year to earn that amount. Each time MT. Rock efeller sleeps eight hours he awakes $54.72O richer.
 If the things that can be pur- chased with money were not so sadly limited-if one could buy health, happiness, real friendship, respect and honor. what fortunate man MT. Rockefeller would be.
