Il. and =. Minstrels.

The number of people who really
live is small compared with the vast
number that merely exist Some peo-
pie seem to think if they go to one
minstrel show that they have seen
them all and stop right there. Those
are the people that just exist, moth
ing more.
In the larger cities it is common
to meet the heads of families who in
figuring on their daily, weekly or
monthly expenses, figure that the
theatre is a necessary expense and
visit each week must be figured
on. These people really live, and it
is a noticeable fact that the same
habit is spreading into the interior.
Go and see them all if you can af-
ford it; If not, pick out those that
have the mark Of age in their favor
those that have been before the
public long enough to know just
what you are getting. Richards &
Pringle's Famous Georgia Minstrels
that come to the opera house on
January "a will come near filling
your expectations.

INDICTMENTS FOR SHAPIRO.
Capiases Are Issued and Houston
Sherif's Department Is Search
ing for Accused Man.


Houston, Texas, Jan. 23.-The
grand jury of Harris county yester-
day returned five bills of indictment
against David H. Shapiro, charging
him with forgery. Capiases to that
effect have been placed with the
sheriff's department
In so far as can be learned, there
is no one in Houston who is aware
of Mr.. Shapiro whereabouts. Moth
ing has been heard of him for some
weeks. Many persons from various
parts over the state who were inter-
ested in the operation OF the Farm
ers and Bankers Warehouse Build
ing association have visited Hous-
ton since the knowledge of his al
legged illegal maniuplations came to
light but none have heard from him.
Five suits for garnishment in the
eleventh district court against var
ious banks were dismissed by the
plaintiff this afternoon These suits
had been filed in the last three
months and the action in bankrupt
cy in the federal court against Dave
II. Shapiro in which connection the
suits were brought, would remove
the matter from the cognizance of
the district court to that of the fed
eral tribunal. 1t is explained that
the suits were dismissed to save the
costs.

Georgetown Re serve S
Want Return Race With
Richmond College.

With but one more meet left for the
local indoor season, all interest now
centers in the Georgetown collegiate
games. to be held in Convention Hail
March 7.
Entries are coming in at a rapid rate,
and though it cannot be prophesied that
the number will exceed that of past
years. still 1t can be said that the class
represented is by far higher than has
ever before competed in a collegiate
meet in the South. All the big univeT-
sites of the South and East have sent
final word 10 the Georgetown manage
ment that their men viii be on hand
to lend strength to the games, some in
relay races and a large number in the
Individual events.
4 race that is sure TO attract more
than ordinary interest is that between
Richmond College and the Georgetown
University Reserves. No definite word
has been received from the Sou. hern-
ers yet whether they will race he fast
second team at Georgetown, but it is
thought that when the fact is impressed
upon them that Washington sport low
ers are clamoring for a return race be
tween the two teams. the men from
Richmond VIII agree TO the desired
match.
More Virginia Entries.
In an endeavor TO capture the cup
offered for the largest number of points
Virginia has increased its entry TO flf-
teen men, one of the largest squads
that has ever represented the Vir-
ginians IN an indoor meet. Johns Hop
kins won The handsome cup last year
and viii give the strong team from the
South a hard fight for honors this year.
Still another team must be considered
seriously and that one is the George
town aggregation. with increased NUM-
bers tlat signifies strength the Blue
and Gray is out to capture this cup,
thing that has seldom been done by
a Georgetown team in its own meet
The performances Of the few men who
competed in the Federal meet speak
well for GeOrgetown's chances. Mar
tia in the sprints and MunhaH and Bic
laski in the distance runs. are men that
win have TO be Teckoned with. Along
with these Georgetown will have its
jumpers and weight men in competition
Yale will nave men in the sprints,
