the leading character i'll The Mayor and the Manicure" is such another Septimus Pickering in Just Out of College, though instead of being a pickle manufacturer, he is a politician and the boss of his community.
 MT. Jepson in The Mayor and the Manicure" affords treat that will be keenly enjoyed by patrons of vaude- Vile and that will draw largely from that element of the public that usually seeks theatrical entertainment in the legitimate houses
 MT Jepson is product of Connecti- cut having started in life doing news paper work in Hartford. He acquired a reputation as vocalist and elocu- tionist from which arose an aspiration for the stage. He made straight for Augustin Daly's office and was soon one of the leading Daily actors.
 As an added attraction The Opera tor, a thrilling western sketch, will be presented by Adeline Dunlap and Lyster Chambers. A story of railroad life in a small town in the west will be presented in real western style. The playlet is intense, and the action very dramatic and it should be of in terest throughout.
 An announcement that will un- doubtedly be hailed with delight by vaudeville lovers is that of the ap- pearance of Searl and Violet Allen and company of four in The Travelling Man. rapid fire comedy sketch which will be one of the sWiftest com- edy numbers seen here this season. Allen has written the number which is sufficient guarantee that 1t will be a lively enough and up to date one. The Village Choir in songs.
 Byers and Hermann, in sensation al pantomime will be the novelty pro- lviders of the lengthy bill. The work of the pair. which includes the human skeleton, is nothing short of marvel ous. Prince KolSin, the Japanese jug gler and novelty worker, and Johnson and Wells, vocalists and dancers, and the series, Stage Struck in the cleo trograph will complete the show. | Daily matinees are the feature at this theater

 The decorations alone. which are the most elaborate ever attempted by a prom. committee, will doubtless prove a great drawing card for many who do not indulge in dancing and the at tendance will be increased each night by one of the local military compan- ies. all of which have expressed their intention of attending in a body.
 This pretentious undertaking has been proyoted by First Sergeant James J Fitzgerald of Company F. The ar mory will appear for the "Dreamland Bazaar" exactly as 1t is left by the

John Drew in My Wife,

The play in which Joh Drew will be seen at the Hyperion, Thursday, Jan- uary 23, is a comedy called My Wife," It is from the French original by Ga vault and Charnay and the English version is by Michael Morton. It is a brilliant, sparkling, highly amusing piece and the leading character gives
 MT. Drew the finest opportunities for nis high class coredy methods he has enjoyed in many seasons. Mir Charles frohman produced the piece at the Empire theater early in the season and ran there for four months to crowded houses, No such triumph has been achieved by MT. Drew than that which has come to his leading lady Mss Billy Burke, who has made almost a sensa- tion by her beauty and her fine acting.

IT'S JOHNSoN'S LOSS.
Buys Pocketbook and $50 for the
Small Sum of SIS.

Benjamin Johnson, cOlored. proprietor of
a lunchroom at 2O5 10Th street, reported
to the police of the first precinct last
night that shortly after o'clock he
was approached by two colored men on
Pennsylvania avenue between 9th and
10th streets. who asked him If he didn't
care to purchase a pocketbook which they
had found. According to Johnson 8
statement the pair told him they had
just found a pocketbOok containing $50,
and if he We're willing to give them SIS
he could have the whole amount. They
stated several men had seen them pick
dispose of it to avoid any possible sus-
picion.
johnson considered the proposition. and
finally told the two men il they would
accompany him to his place of business
he would give them the money. The three
made their way to Johnson's place, where
he procured the necessary SO and hand
ed ii over to the men. AS soon as they
got possession OF the cash, Johnson
states. they politely tipped their hats,
and before he realized what had hap
pened they were in full retreat down the
street
Johnson followed but soon gave up the
chase. He Immediately reported his loss
to the police. giving them at the same
time an excellent description of the finn
Hammers. Policemen were detailed on
the case, but up to late hour last
night no arrest had been reported.

TO ISSUE LIQUOR LICENSES.
Bill Introduced Friday by Delegate
S. Marvin Peach.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
EVANSVILLE. February Is, 1908.
In the Maryland house of delegates yes
terday S. Marvin Peach. by request. intro
duced a bill to create commission Of three
members to have jurisdiction in the mat
ter of issuing liquor licenses in Prince
George county. At present the clerk
of the court issues these licenses. and can
only do so when the terms of the law
with regard to signatures of adjacent
property owners, etc, is complied with.
He has no discretionary power, but when
an applicant files proper papers the clerk
is bound to issue the license.
OF course. the clerk is the judge Of the
regularity Of the applicants papers and it
is stated that the issuing of these licenses
carries with it more or less political in
fiuence. The general impression prevails
that the proposed bill is for the purpose
of curtailng, as much as possible, the
clerks influence. Mr.. B. D. Stephen. the
present clerk, is not in accord with the
present democratic faction in charge of
the destinies Of the party, and 1t is ex-
pected that he will be a candidate for re-
nomination in 1909. That he will have a
fight on his hands for the nomination is
generally conceded.

He is Of the opinion that 1t would be bet
ter to increase this period to four or at
least to three years. If the four-year
tour of duty of troops could be establish

that the four-year tour of duty is not ex-
