ANOTHER SUCCESS
For the SOuth's Greatest Business
College. The Tyler Commercial
College, of Tyler, Texas. Sc
cures Civil Service Elk.
aminati0ns for Their
Pupils Benefit.

Knowing the bigness of the above
mammoth institution and the tho.
roughness of it's work, the Z. S. Civil
Service Commission has granted its
request for regular examinations to be
held at Tyler, Texas. This means
much to the fifteen hundred students
from many states attending the col
lege each year. Salaries in the Civil
Service range from $500 o s240O, or
more. Texas. Louisiana and Ar
kansas have never furnished their
quota to the Civil Service and early
appointment is sure. In fact, though
the college has students in Civil Ser
vice work in Washington, and other
cities of the Union, in the PHILIPPINES
and in Panama, not n OF its grad
yates has ever failed on Civil Service
examination. Male stenographers
and accountants in particular are in
great demand and at splendid salaries.
The college work in this line. as in
every other, is thorough, and Civil
Service drill is given every student.
It is fitting that ours, the greatest
government should recognize its
greatest business college in its biggest
state. u
Eight years ago the college started
with thirteen students. radically new
systems, and in a new territory. To-
day it has an annual enrolment of
1900 from half the states of the Union.
With $4,000, 90 equipment of furniture
and Office fixtures; $50 feet of Office
railing enclosing three banks, whole
sale, freight and many other Offices:
both Huber and McCaskey account
registers, Burroughs adding machine,
Electric Railroad. Cotton Belt Wire
and Freight office, Export Office. Mod
Ell Office, etc., the college is eminertly
fitted not only to prepare not only for
bookkeeping, bank, railroad and stem
Ographic positions, but specially so
for the great and varied Civil Service
with its short hours, splendid salaries
and certain promotions.
BY all means, investigate now this
broad road to success and enter in
time to prepare for the next examine
ton. The college will be glad to give
you any desired information.

'TheStage
Checkers a Winner on It

Our old friend "Checkers"
greeted the usual packed Sun
day night house at the Crescent
last evening, and for the third
time proved that he is a great
New Orleans favorite. Many of
the Tulane's regular patrons
visited the twin theatre to catch
another glimpse of the famous
comedy from the pen of Henry
M. Blossom, Jr.. but, forgetting
that the Crescent evening per.
formances begin at 8 O'Clock
J sharp. they missed a part of the
first act.
This being the third appear
ance in New Orleans of Check.
ers" it would be s%uperfous for
the critic to 90 intoadescription of
the plot, and expatiate on it's hui
NOR and situations. Suffice to
say that this years production is
just as bright and attractive as
it's predecessors and that the
play has not lost any of it's in
terest in it's present hands.
The title role is played by
Hans Robert, a very manly
young actor, who handles the
role to the entire satisfaction of
his audience. The Push" Mil
Ter of Dave Braham, Jr., is IA
highly amusing delineation Of
the genius race track tout. .
George Seybolt handles the
rather ungrateful role of Arthur
Kendall in creditable style, and,
because he is good to look upon
and has no earmarks of a stage
william, the audience is very glad
to see. him apologize to the hero
in the last act and to see them
shake hands on it.
The role of Judge Martin, 'of
Little Rock, sah!" is artistically
handled by George B. Miller,
whose makeup is splendidly
aided by his personal appear
ance; he is a typical Southern
gentleman.
George E.. Merritt. Robert
Craig. William Hall and Frank
Mccoy, in their delineations of
GAINESVILLE ark citizens, made
a decided hit, but the best male
character conception in the play
was the Adoniram Barlow of
Joseph Wilkes, who played the
domineering. close.tisted Croesus
of GAINESVILLE so very artistically
that those in front we're taken
aback when Adoniram, in the
last scene, saw the folly of
prejudice and made friends with
young Mr.. Checkers.
The female roles in the popular
comedy are in exceptionally
capable hands and, incidentally.
these same hands are very dainty
and very small and belong to a
group Of very pretty, charming
young women. Among these,
Miss Lydia Dickson, as CYNTHIA,
the maid of all work, has least
opportunity to show her good
looks, disguised as she is in the
ungainly maids apparel with
smudges of stove polish On her
dear little nose. AS a recon.
pense. however, she has a fat"
part, and gives as clever a bit of
character acting as can be de-
sired. Miss Stephanie LOtg.
fellow, as Pert Barlow, is pretty
enough for any Checkers" to
fall in love with, and makes a
charming heroine (f there is a
hero or heroine in the play; Miss
Clare Armstrong, as Pert's
dearest friend, is sweet in looks
and plays her part prettily.
Miss Pauline Eberhard, in a
double role, was very acceptable,
as we're three very charming
young ladies who said a few
words and looked as if they could
have said a great deal more as
