HYPERION.
Going Some" Makes an Essential Hit With Big Audience Last Night.

Nith Il Big Audience Last NiShl.
 The humorous farce Going Some" which was presented at the Hyperion last night, made an essential hit, if the continual laughter and applause which bore it company from start to finish, be any sort of credentials. The play is set out in the open. and it has to do with the fine, clean, healthy American sports, such as horseback riding, cross-country walks and the like. There is a party of visitors at
 Flying Heart ranch. guests of Jack Chapin, the superintendent of the ranch. A foot race is arranged be-
 tween runners representing the Fly ing Heart and Centipede ranches, the cowboys of each putting up their money and dearest possessions on
 our man." The guests at Flying Heart, two of them at least, put their faith on the winning qualities of one Culver Covington, intercollegiate 100- yards champion, who is expected at
 the ranch, only to have their hopes 1 dashed by the arrival of their win ner' with a broken toe. The cowboys of Flying Heart promise most sensa-
 tlonal dispatch to the two planners if the race is lost, and with death
 staring them in the face the bluff
 and his trainer console themselves by ] attempting to prepare for their fate. Whatever it may be. Skinner the
 cook of the Centipede ranch, is short of money, and as he is to run for the
 men he cooks for, decides to win for the side with the most money He
 sees the man who Is running for his
 life and the other fellows take his
 money and gives him the race Such
 is practically the story of Going Some" The lines are exceptionally
 bright and clever and the action throughout the play was snappy and splendid For the characters there
 are three pretty girls from Smith col l lege. come out to see what ranch life
 is like. A student from a western uni ! versity who is said to be able to sing ''Dearie;" the foreman of the Flying 1 Heart ranch, and three cowboys, one 1 a most picturesque Mexican, the oth- | CTS bad men" The foreman of the I Centipede ranch and a Chinaman cook, The place for each member of 1 the cast is made a necessary place, | and every one comes up 10 the mark. | Of course little love story runs in, a little undertone of gentleness, in the midst of the noise and strenuous ef-
 forts of the ranchmen and cowboys,
 is a relief now and them. and adds a
 touch of daintiness to the piece. Talk
 en all in all Going Some" Is a merry
 little farce. and if you want to laugh i joyeusly with a satisfied feeling in your heart that you have good ex-
 cuse. keep Going Some" in mind and
 they'll keep you with them. Three
 more performances, tonight and to-
 morrow afternoon and evening.

WORLDS GREATEST TALKERS.
American Record a Telephone Calls
 Per Person in 1907,

New York, March 19.-While Am orleans may not appreciate the title of the worlds greatest takers, 1t Is indubitably conferred upon them by the annual report of the American Telephone and Telegraph company for 1907, made public to-day. It shows that the average daily number of tel ephone calls in this country last tear was 1S,e24.c00, an increase of more than 2.000.O0 calls day over 1908, and an average of seventy-five talks for every man, woman. and child in the country. No other country in the world can even approach this record.
 In many ways the report marks an epoch in corporate policy in this country, since, in addition to giving the fullest publicity to all matters. Il contains an endorsement of the policy of public control as advocated b1 Governor Hughes in his recommenda- tions to the legislature, but hitherto opposed by most public service cor porations.

INDECENT and aged union postal clerks
similar TO the Home for Union Printers
in Colorado Springs.
My father is a printer. and always

macdonald. in talking Of her plan. I
always have known of the printers home
and when in Colorado several years ago
l saw It and was greatly impressed with
Its splendid situation and accommoda-
ions. and the protection il offered to
union printers from poverty through III
ness and old age.
/ had not been in Chicago long before
/ saw there were many clerks who were
TOO old to be working. yet who could not
anord TO give up their positions, since
the salaries are too small TO allow much
saving for old age. In the two years and
half 1 have been here some six or eight

II all over and felt that there ought to
be union home where the aged clerks or
those who were Ill could go.
l talked the plan over with some Of
the men in the union, and they approved
OF 1t and suggested that l write a letter
10 our national organ, the Union Postal
clerk The letter was printed in the
May issue. and am glad that it has met
such ready response from the mem

1t is expected that the National Federa-

member OF the union will be given oppor-
