Asking Too Much.

When in Denver last week the INDE-
PENDENT editor met a subscriber who
said: well, what's the news in
Delta?"
"Why, you ought to know" we re-

"Oh, yes;" said he, II have been a
subscriber to the INDEPENDENT for
years, and pay for it regularly, be-
lieve; but you surely don't expect me

This team offers a good boxing stunt that Is new to Southern audiences. and should create something of a sensation. They also do all of the physical feats In muscular dexterity and give exhibi- lions of hand and head balancing that Is said to be unexcelled. The Ben ningtons are high class and refined In all their work. and appeal to dis eliminating patrons.
 Marquis and Lynn perform on many musical instruments and are expert narfmbaphone artists. They are also skilled in the handling of various other musical instruments, and they intro duce novelty in their act in the way Of doing mighty clever dance to the accompa niment of their own violin playing, and also get away with a num- Der of tricks by playing on these in- struments In every conceivable man. ner. The act is one that especially ap- peals to all lovers of standard fnstru- mentalism.

New York. Sept. 2s.-(Special)-F uring dead losses that total more than a million dollars the showmen of Coney Island are today abandoning the great summer resort for the season.
 Hotel men and proprietors of every stand for liquid and solid refresh ments. are stripping bare their rooms and departing with little but unWorn cash registers. Never in the history of this greatest pleasure park in the country, have the peoples pennies been garnered with less success than in the season which closes officially today. While the receipts of the traction com panies show no falling on in the crowds that focked to Coney each day of a summer of record heat. the books of every booth on the island show that ninety mine passed frugally by, to one who chanced to stop and spend. TO the times that had been and were rather than to the present conditions the seashore showmen lay their plight. and to prove their faith in the future they are already planning for rec- ord-breaking season of pleasure ana profit next year.

 To- loiter for minute outside the stretch of ground glass doors within these walls is to be ordered to the street by attendants that ceaseIessIv guard each hall and landing. Years ago when the elder John D. was wont to make constant headquarters inside this building like excess of vigilance prevailed throughout the place. With letter files as handy as they must be somewhere within, no one is wonder ing at today's renewal of the strenu- ous vigil of Standard oiPs guards.
 Dementia of the Diamond,
 In the midst of a metropolis mad with the craze of the diamond the baseball fortunes of the Giants are to- day dwarfing the doings of Wall Street or the Presidential campaigners.
 Gotham has never in all its history felt the fascination of the fan as it league season. Men, women and chill dren who scarcely knew that New York had a ball team a month ago. are keeping constant watch of every move in the contest. Stock tickers are besieged by throngs that want scores and not quotations. while busi- ness. shopping and amusement give way to the jam about every score board. Sickness and mortality are wis., tied twice a week upon every office boy In town; and boss meets boy without reproach on the grooming baseball b1eachers. It Is not often that this city is really moved to such a demon stration as the American sport has this year called forth.

 After a week of Pittsburg skies Man haitian Island is today sunk deeper than ever in a pail of thick smoky haze. This phenominal run of impen- etrable sky Is being accounted for here by the presence of forest fires in the outlying State.

 Jay Bogert. the blackface comedian has the distinction of being the "only man in black who writes his own parodies." and he knows how to sing them entertainingly too. MT.

Jay Bogert goes on the stage with broad smile and when he leaves the audience the latter has caught the said broad smile.

 Quality and judicious variety sum
 up the program at the popular local vaudeville theatre next week There will be mirth, music, acrobaticss novel; ty and invitabIe black-face act repre- sented on the bill, so that every de-
 gree of vaudeville taste will be satis- fled. There will be a comedy playlet, the New Minister" by W. H. Mack and Ida Elliott. This farce comedy is big laugh maker.
 William H. Mack and Ida Elliott have d big laugh producer in their comedy sketch called .aThe New Min ister.' Miss Elliott plays the part of A Vassar College girl who has just re- ceived a letter. from her mamma tell ing her to treat tho new minister in a particularly nice manner, Just about
 that time bill collector, tmpersonat- ed by MT. Mack, pops in. and he Is dressed in a black frock coat and wears
 white tie, the young lady takes him for the New Minister and then the fun l begins. After the presentation of sltp- pers and smoking jacket to the sup posed new minister occurs the mistake | is discovered and then there IS pande- 1 n1oninm and climax after climax This l undoubtedly is iudicrous situation and must he highly enjoyable. The sketch has always been winner.
 We might add. also. that Mack and
 Elliott are Alabama people, and are known in private life as MT. and Mrs.
 S. W. vogel of Selma. Numbers of
 their acquaintances both here and in
 Selma will avail themselves of the op-
 portunity of seeing MT. and Mrs.
 Vogel.
 Schatz and Swanson, Those Two Kids" as the bright little pair are dub bed in select vaudeville circles. are actually children in the matter of years. Miss Hazel Swanson being but 15 years of age. but in stage experi- ence both are mature and quite at home There is no prettier picture | imaginable than blonde-haired and rosy-cheeked Hazel Swanson as the
 doll l-baby," and there is nothing more comical anywhere, than Archie Schatz | as the irrepressible "bell hop" The cute and talented little team do some ] singing-some dancing-much comedy.
