Hotel Keys.

1T takes Just about 500 new keys

Dave Mills, assistant manager of the
Euclid, the other day. THAT does
not include the keys that are carried
away and returned by mail. Then
lots of people take the metal tags off
keys in order to carry the keys in
their pockets, and the tags get lost.
Sometimes guest will return key
that he has carried for a year or so.
But the funniest proposition | ever
struck was this: We got letter
one day from man out in Des
Moines, Ia, who wrote to apologize
for not returning key he had taken
away. He said he found that the key

Well-Muscled Boy

A few weeks ago In village a few
miles from Mexico City citizen went
to the alcalde and complained that a
boy ten years old had stolen and car
ried away his donkey. He insisted
that the boy had carried the animal
on his shoulder The police laughed
at the idea, but when the lad was al.
rested 1t was shown that the state
ment was true. The boy had carried
a gooI-sized donkey quarter Of a
mile on his shoulder without a stop
He did the trick again for the benefit
of the police.
' Various tests were made of his
strength, and 1t was found that he had
the muscle of two ordinary men. He
is In jail now, but when he comes out
the people will have to look out that
he doesn't carry off their houses some

At the Olympic.

The Olympic theater under the man
agement of A. P. Whitney for Acker
and Martin, proprietors, started off in
a very suspicious manner yesterday.
The show which is a good one this
week, in fact better than the average,
was greeted by good sized houses at
all the performances yesterday, and as
a matter of fact the attendance which
has been showing symptoms of falling
off during the past few weeks was
much greater than usual.
The headliners on the bill this week
are The Duvalls, who present one
act sketch, "a Tramp's Reception"
Mr.. Duvall, the tramp, is a peg legged
man and in addition to being a good
actor and a good singer is a dancer of
no mean ability. The bill is opened
with a very pathetic little sketch by
Mr.. and Mrs. P. A. Phelps, called The
Tie That Binds" This sketch cannot
fail to appeal to the tenderer emotions
of the audience. Walter Monroe, {
juggler put on an interesting turn and
performs some daring and intricate
feats with double edged battle axes.
A. ]. Wayne, black face comedian, has
a singing and talking act which elicits
lots of applause from the audience.
Frank Marshall, the song illustrator,
sings Flowers Outside the Cafe and
does it in manner that wins his way
into favor with the audience. Two
sets of comic moving pictures are
shown with the Olympidrome.

MANY CHURCHES UNSAFE.
Fire Department Officials Make an
Investigation in Chicago.

Chicago, March 16.-Inves LEGATION
of the churches of Chicago regarding
the danger from fire and the protec-
ton Of Congregations in the matter of
exits was started yesterday by 100
captains of the fire department, acting
under the personal instruction of Fire
Marshal James Koran. They ex-
amined over 700 church buildings.
Although no reports have been re-
ceived as yet at Marshal Horan's office

few of the stations near the downtown
district showed four Of the churches

ordinances in the locking of certain
exit doors.
In many of the churches it was
found doors swing inwards.
The fire captains today will turn in
to Chief Koran complete reports and
recommendations as to necessary
changes. Notices at once will be
served on pastors and trustees of
churches found to be of faulty con-

BULLET IN HIS BRAIN
But Surgeons Hope to Save the Life of
Oscar ZoTn

New York, March I6.-Despite the
fact that he was taken to the VIII
i1amsburg hospital with bullet in his
brain, oscar Zorn, a tailor. is still
alive and today the delicate operation
OF placing a silver plate in his skull
will be performed at that ins titution
The case has been considered remark
aple by surgeons because of the eau
tious work it involved in removing
the bullet and many splinters of bone
from the brain of Zorn, who was shot
in the forehead by the accidental dis
charge. of a revolver almost two
months ago. No effort was at first
made to extract the bullet. but as
Zorn continued to live the surgeons
began to remove one splinter of bone
after another and upon his gaining
sufficient strength the surgeons finally
extracted the missile by the trephining
process. Now 1t has been decided to
close the big opening in the skull with
a silver plate.

bill ct the Majestic this week Is the
stunt of the Ehrendall Brothers,

their act is the way they dress-light

black hose, belt and ties. The usual
costume for that sort Of thing is
tights or black satin knickerbockers
and a very decollette upper garment

see the EhrendalI brothers that their
kind of clothes is a great improve

IN VAUDEVILLE HOUSES.
At the Novelty.

Mrs. General Tom Thumb. now the
Countess Magri, confesses to being
Sc years old But she is as lively and
spry as a girl Of 16, as anyone can
going to the Novelty theater this
week, where this world famous
woman, together with her husband
Count Magri and his brother, Baron
Magri, present a vaudeville act
through the medium of which these
little folks provide an interesting en-
tertainment. 1t Is a farcical comedy
called Two Strings to Her Bow, or
Which Will Win Her. In it the little
men are suitors for the little 1ady's
hand and they cut up all sorts of
capers in pressing their suit
And while the playlet is an anus
ing one the real interest in it lies in
the fact that it is presented by such
famous little people. Mrs. Tom
Thumb is the most famous midget in
the world today. just as she has been
for half a century and the mere an
nouncement that she is on the bill at
the Novelty for this week ought to
be sufficient to pack the house at
every performance for every man,
woman and child in the city ought to
see her; Perhaps the most interest
ing feature of the little folks act is
the talk given by the Countess in
which she tells of her travels to
every nook and corner of the world
during the half century that she has
been before the public.
There are a number of other good
acts on the Novelty OIL, the premier
of them being the one presented by
the Uyeno troupe of Jap acrobats.
There are six in this company, two
men and four children. and one of
these is the smallest Jap child or
child of any other race for that mat
ter who has been seen in these parts
doing acrobatic work, and he is some
thing of a wonder. This Jap act is
one of the very best that has been
presented in this city, and while
thousand words might be written about
it. no other recommendation for it is
needed
Among the other performers is
Miss Flora Browning. an entertain
ing singing soubrette, who effects
some lightning changes End who not
only rnanipulates her eyes in wond-
rous ways but also winks with her
heels in which are set diamonds or
brilliants of some sort. There is
something of a contest between the
diamonds in her heels and her eyes
as to which are the f1ashiest and the
general opinion will be that the eyes
win. Booth and Gordon do some
astonishing tricks on bicycles and the
Dunn. an imitator. who makes hit
with his noises like a crying baby.
For the illustrated songs Miss Parf1tt
sings Everyone Was Meant for Some
One and Mr. Irwin sings Yankee
Boy" And the good show is brought
to a conclusion with three series of
moving pictures
At the Majestic.

ADJUSTMENTS
"BPOWn of Harvard,

Henry Woodruff comes to the Grand
on Tuesday night in Brown Of Har-

New York and for over 200 nights in
Chicago. 1t is the first college play to
be a faithful reflection of daily life in
Americas oldest university. While
appealing particularly to Harvard men
in whom college traditions are more
deeply rooted perhapse-than in the
graduates of any other university, it is
scarcely less interesting to one who
boasts an alma mater. The sports, the
youthful life in this play. are what
every man who has been to college has
