MUCH COMEDY IN
LIGHTS OF GOTHAM

A good-sized audience witnessed the
production of 1.-The Lights of Gotham
at the Orpheum last night. This is
perhaps the most exciting of the melo-
dramas Mr.. Cooley has yet presented
here, having several climaxes that
bring the gallery gods to their feet
with cheers, and moves the entire
house to hearty applause. The scenic
effects were good, particularly the end
of the second act, when the hero es-
capped from Sing Sing by leaping onto
moving train, and the end of the
third act, which showed burning in
sane asylum. several of the characters
leaping from window into a net held
by "a force of fremen below.
Mr.. Cooley and Miss Kingsbury did
their usual excellent work, being ably
assisted in the serious roles by Charles
Dey, Florence Plummer, George Ken
meth, Ray Avery, Paul Atherton and
Carl Case. The comedy in the play is
particularly strong, the house being
eonvulsed with laughter frequently by
the antics of Lionel Swift, as Michael
Mulcahey, a member of the police
force: Billy Ross, as Fritz Dinklewin-
kle. dealer in "red hots''; Miss Nera
Rosa. as MRS. riley, d pIS-uSdItS
Irish woman. and Harriet James, as
Maggie Riley, her daughter.

morrow afternoon, being succeeded

TWO OLD PLAYERS
BACK IN HARNESS

Two old baseball players are about
to enter the game again, and will prob
ably be seen on the All-Hawaii team
against the Coast team. The two
players are Bill Sanborn of Hanalei,
Kauai, and Sheldon, the old crack
shortstOp of the Kams. sanborn was
member of some of the National
League teams a few years ago, and at
the time was considered to be one of
the best players that ever played firsr
base. He will be down in a few DAYS
from Kauai, and will start in and do
some hard work, so that he can get
in trim for the Coast series. Sheldon
is at present freight clerk on the Clau-
dine, but it is very probable that the
officials Of the Inter-Island Co. will
allow him to get off and play when the
time comes

WIGGLE-W OGGLE

G5@-s- s'-=tS
It has arrived. It is the wiggle-wog-
Gle.
Do you wiggle-woggle If not, why
not? You've got just as much right to
wiggle-woggle as anybody else. People
who have wiggle-woggled say it's the
best fun in the world. It's the fad
down East Everybody wiggle-woggles
around down there. There's no reason
why Chicago shouldn't be one of the
best wigglishwogglish towns in the
country.
Wiggle-woggling solves the puzzle
that devotees of physical torture"
have been working on for long time.
At last they have discovered the COM
bination of laughter and exercise.
The wiggle-woggle in principle is a
three-cornered piece of wood with 4
castor leg under each corner and a
steering rudder in front BY standing
on the stool with foot on each of the
two corners farthest from the rudder
and by juggling, or, rather, wiggling,
the body so as to give motion to the
feet, the stool will move along quite
rapidly. BY means of ropes fastened
to the steering gear the stool may be
made to travel in any direction requir-
ed
This stool, painted to look like a
turtle, is the wiggle-woggle. The man
who invented it is said not to have
thought much of his discovery. He
could travel faster on a street car or
on bicycle. So he left his wiggle-
woggle neglected in the back yard.
Then his wife tried the queer con-
traption. She was a very stout person.
and anything that looked like it was
good for a ride she was willing to try.
The lady was delighted She discov-
cred that the too, too solid flesh melted
off perceptibly while she gave that sin
uOus swaying motion that induced the
machine to go. She was so charmed
with the machine that she induced
her daughter to try it.
Daughter demurred for some time,
for she was so thin she had to stand
three times in one place to make
shadow She shuddered to think what
would become of her if she began rid
ing the wiggle-woggle. Strange to
say, the wiggle-woggle that had made
her mother so sylph-like gave daughter
a shape like Juno. The wiggle-woggle
had brought into play and development
the very muscles needed to fill out the
figure.
Down East, where wiggle-woggling
is fad, they have wiggle-woggle
races, wiggle-woggle cavalry and wig
gle-woggle games. Here is where the
wiggle-woggle makes the laughs thar
add to the gayety and health of per-
formers and onlookers.
While the wiggle-woggle is so far
merely a summer fad it will probably
take it's place before long in the gym
nasium. When fat people find out
about it they will cry for the wiggle-
woggle
The constant movement Of the hip
and waist, which is necessary to make
the machine move, is one of the best
known means of reducing the waist
line. But scrawny PRISONS are just as
enthusiastic about the wiggle-woggle
as are stout people 1t builds them out
and makes them so proud just to prom
enade up and down the beach in a |
bathing suit that they don't go near
the water.-Chicago Record.

IN BEHALF OF SETTLERS.
to the Sundry Civil Bill
Passed by the House.

The House of Representatives in commit
tee of the whole placed itself squarely on
record yesterday afternoon in favor of linn
iting the power of special agents of the
general land Office by vote restricting the
use of the appropriation of $3.50, 900 carried
by the sundry civil appropriation bill to
pay the salaries OF such agents
Mr.. Mondell offered an amendment pro-
viding that no part of the S250000 appro-
priated for special agents of the general
land Office shall be available 'for the ex-
animation of the lands embraced in any
entry upon which final proof has been
made unless the department has informa-
ton furnishing good grounds to suspect
fraud or Noncompliance with law as to
that speciis entry.
BY vote of 104 to II the committee
adopted the amendment which was offered
by Mr.. Mondell and debated for two hours
by Messrs. Cushman of Washington. Lacey
of Iowa. Mann of Illinois, Burke of South
Dakota, Reeder of Kansas. Bonynge of
Colorado. Grenna of North Dakota, Steen-
erson of Minnesota, Gaines of Tennessee
and Smith of Iowa.
During the debate the work of the special
agents was severely condemned and the
orders of the President regarding final
proof on homesteads criticised as working
unnecessary hardships upon settlers.
The sundry civil bill was still in the pro-
cess of reading when the House adjourned
at Gas pm.

PASSED IN TEN MINUTES.
Senate Quickly Disposes of the Mill
tary Academy Bill.

The Senate at last nights session passed
the bill making appropriations for the sup
port of the Military Academy. The bill
carrying s1.947 1888 was passed just as it
came from the committee, only ten minutes
being consumed in the consideration of the
measure.
discussion lasting throughout the entire
day, to which was added a futile night
session, failed to secure final action in the
Senate on the amendments to the agricul-
tural appropriation bill proposing to make
an increase Of 81 100000 in the item for
the support of the forest service. Forceful
speeches Were made by Senators Burkett,
Depew and Beveridge in defense of the
work of Chief Forester Pinchot. and OPP
posed to the extension of the forest service
by Senator Hepburn, who went into the
entire subject.
1t was believed by Chairman Proctor of
the agricultural committee that action
could be had on the 81, 100000 appropriation
and other committee amendments to the
bill at last nights session. After passing
the Military Academy bill and few private
bills the agricultural bill was called up.
Mr. Proctor asked that the pending amend
ment be considered. and on a vive voce
vote it was adopted. Mr.. Hepburn made
point of no quorum. however, and after
roll call which showed only thirty members
present the Senate at S:55 pm. adjourned
until IL o'clock this morning.

become total loss.
The Idvonia was owned by James As
bury and she raced for the Americas cup
in 1871. She was the second yacht to cross
the Atlantic to try and take back the cup
won by the America in 1851. The Cambria
owned by Mr.. Asbury, raced against the
entire fleet Of the New York Yacht Club in
1870 and that race was won by the Magic.
Mr. Asbury did not like the conditions of
that race and arranged that when he
should bring the Livonia his yacht should
be met by one vessel selected to represent
the New York Yacht Club. The schooner
Columbia was the boat chosen and she
won two races, but in the third broke her
gaff and the Lvonia won. The Sappho
then took the COlumbia's place and she
won the next two races, and according to
the conditions kept the cup in this country.
The Livonia went back and for some
years was used by Mr.. Asbury and then
was sold for trading schooner The Ii
