"An OId-Fashioned" Father,

From the Washington Times.
 There never was an old-fashioned father any more than there Is a new-fi%shioned father There is no fashion in goodness no style in badness. The father of to- day is much the same as Adam and his sons are much the same as Cain, Abel and Seth. You will find the father of today like the father of yesterday proud of his sons and foolish about his daughters shocked when he learns any of them want to get married; unable to see that any young man is quite good enough for Martha; pained to discover that the young men of today are not what young men were when he was @ young man; in- clined to think that his silver-haired wife, who has held hypnotic sway over his very soul ever since they were married, would be lost without his hand on the helm of home.
 Oh, the old-fashioned father is here. don't worry, and he isn't hard to find. He is your father, maybe he is you, your self, and there is no reason for asking what has become of him or what is going to become of him, because he al- ways has been and always will be, world without end.

Dared Paris Mob.

Fannie Bloomfield zeisler, although a lifelong resident of Chicago, is a pianist of international fame. She is the dean of American virtuosi, and universally acknowledged to be the greatest living artist. In Europe she is held to have few living equals as pianist in either sex. She has toured Europe repeatedly, and few years ago created world wide sensation when with her American grit she con- quered a Parisian mob that tried to break up the concert at which she made her Parisan debut because the impresario had the '.effrontery" to pre- sent an American pianist who insisted on paying an American piano. In- cidentally, she insisted on playing a concerto by Saint Saens, who was just then under boycott by the Musicians union of Paris.

At the oayety.

A lively chorus appeared on the stage of the Gayety yesterday when the cur tain rose, and was kept before the foot lights almost constantly for the next two hours and a half Attred in stunning costumes they sang and danced with an air that was refreshing to say the least.
 Instead of the usual burlesque style of one act, then an olio followed by an- other act the "Bowery Burlesquers" play three snappy farces which are inter spersed with specialties. In this way the chorus is brought out every few min utes, which Is quite an innovation as compared to the usual -drawn-out olio. Such songs as "Corissinia,' "On The Bowery," "Sacramento,' Wait resses.'' "College," Nina From North Carolina" 'eThe Moon Plays Peek-a- Boo,v "All For You" School Days. p Indians on Broadway" and 'Mariutch' were sung and danced with a spirit that made the crowded house demand encore after encore.
 "On the Bowery," "The Sculptor's Stu Uio." and the Essex Market Police Court" are the names of the three farces. the last of which is far the best Ben Jansen appears as Judge Isaac Clozin- sky in this act, and his court is indeed a revelation The justice he deals out while in direct variance to the laws of the legal code, is the kind that draws tears of laughter.

of them were dangerously hurt. The
accident caused great excitement.
The injured men were brought to
town and given treatment. They

badly bruised and cut and all three
of the horses were so knocked out
as to be withdrawn from the race.
Clark was taken to the home of

found that his head was badly bruis-

Later in the afternoon it appears
that McBeth. one of the jockies. is
