Hopes to Get Back to New York and Start Anew, He
 Says.

Fame. Is everlasting; riches come only to those whom Dame Fortune fla vors with her prettiest smile,' Is the theory of Hughe Cannon, composer of the most famous coon songs ever written.
 Hughie is eking out an existence by pounding the piano In downtown saloons, He confesses to being q mem Der of the Down and Out Club." but hopes some day to regain himself, | Just few short years ago Hughie's compositions were sung throughout these broad United States. They in- cluded such work as Bill Bailey Goo-Goo Eyes" "Ain't That Il Shame?' and others
 Hughie's best effort in the compos- ! ing line netted fortunes for publishers. l How much were his own coffers enrich edf Listen to his own story:
 'Aint That a Shame?' I gave away ] " v P'ht Ipp"'ip TSANS T Sbiu ipi s25, and Bill Bailey went for sS5o. Royalties? No. l never thought of them whenI was grinding out that stuff. But I've thought many q time since what might have been had in, sisted on royalties Think what the publishers made out of those songs."
 Hughie was In a Farmer street saloon while he was talking Instinctively he turned to the plano and the catchy notes of ''Bil Bailey Won't You Please Come Homer" vlhrated through the place, The rag has often been heard before by habltues of the place, but they never before listened to it as It was played by Hughie Cannon, who composed 1t.
 Booze. booze and some more booze Is to blame for my present standing, " said Hughie, who presented most elo- 1 quent argument for the prohlbitIonsts 't have been all over the world, tray eled with shows and listened to audi ences go crazy over my compositions, but if never turned my head IL was tho booze that finally got me, and here am.

 Even while talking Hughie's musical brain was busy and he dashed off this hit of sentiment:
 You'll find the scenes are brighter here
 at home, boy;
 Here's one scene you'll miss whiit

 While dad says. Boy, my dear, You'll find the scenes are brighter her,

sed one after the other. So great is
the weight of the boat, that if she
should encounter the ordinary ferry
boat it would hardly create a percept-
ible shock on the great craft.
In addition to her size, there are
two other features of the North Da-
kota that give her individuality.
These are her possible concentrated
broadsides and her "spider masts."
The turrets are SO arranged that all
ten of her big 12-inch guns can be
trained in the same direction, and
can be brought to bear on the enemy
at the same time. These guns are
longer barreled and are more power
full than those on the Dreadnaught,
The turrets are all on the line of the
center of the ship and can be swept
In a complete circle. They are ar
ranged on different elevations, and
can be fired one above the other, yet
all Of them are sufficiently above the
water line to give them an advanta-
geous outlook

Mr.. Brown made this statement
while in Clarinda Iowa, on the day

of business and pleasure. He is the

AMATEUR NJ ]! NIGHT
!. 4. {. ! A WINNER
Star Theatre Packed to the Doors.4'
Everybody Pleased

The initiation of amateur night at
the Star theatre last Friday evening
was certainly winner as was shown
by the large crowd that witnessed the
three performances at that popualr
play house. After the first regular
performance the amateur show took
place. and, the large crowd that had
gathered ht the theatre were more
than pleased with the first attempt of
Manager Maroney to install amateur
night at the Star. Although the acts
that made the first appearance were
not the very best that might be Sc
cured yet when it is taken into con-
sideration that this was the first at
tempt 1t was very successful.
The first number on the amateur bill
was Sigrud Roe who performed very
handily on the slack wire and immed-
lately made chit" with the large au-
dience: Considering his age and ex-
periencer The did some very clever
stunts on the wire and according to
the applause by the audience received
first prize of $3.50. Willie Mckee
sang very touching southern ballad
and although he did not receive a
prize he was loudly applauded and it
was very evident that his song was ap-
preciated. ! Miss Martha Tully sang a
song veryl sweetly and she received
third prize in the contest. The cornet
solo Of Miss Eugene Smith was very
well rendered and brought rounds of
applause. According to the merit of
the act she received second prize. The
quartette composed Of Martha Schultz,
Helen Finpegan, Minnie Roe and Flor
ence White sang I'm the Land of the
Buffalo" very sweetly and received a
good round of applause. The last mum.
Der on the program was some very
good trapese performing by Brighton
Arnold. +
II is evident that amateur night will
be- am immense success at the Star
and Maroney has decided to
give the second performance on Fri
day, November goth, and all who are
| anticipating taking part. in the second
amateur night will kindly leave their
names with Mr.. sMaroney and those
wishing assistance in preparing an act
OF any kind will be given assistance
by applying to the manager who will
lend what assistance possible to help
those who are anxious to appear be-
fore the public. The manager of the
Star wishes to assure the patrons that
the next amateur performance will far
outdo the first effort and that special
attention will be paid to getting some
thing real good on the bill for the next
amateur date.
