by magic into a representative of
their sex. In connection with the
representations, which include
Anna Held, Blanche Ring and Sa-
lone, Huntress presents his drap-
cry and fire dances and the color

WASHINGTON.

A pleasing program Is announced
for the Washington tomorrow
afternoon, having for it's headliner
Mile. Alice Loretta and her prize
posing dog, Ben" Mile. Loretta
with her dog will present series
of difficult poses and unusual pio
lures, taken from famous paint
ings and hunting scenes. The dog
is beautiful snow white setter,
and with his mistress in the differ
ent poses resembles marble very
closely. This is very pretty and
unusual act. Another promising
number on the bill will be Miss
Monda Glendower and Raymond
Manion in their sketch entitled,
"A Christmas on the Comstock,"
which is one of the most pleasing
and we'll acted figures Of the sea-
son. The playlet tells Of the life In
the mining camp, and Is full of
comedy and pathos. A comedy act
that is extra good will be that pre-
scented by Jere Sanford, the whist
ling and yodeling comedian. Mr..
Sanford has an excellent voice.
"Too Much Woman" the comedy
sketch introduced by Frank Rae
and Ghssie Brosche, is one of the
funniest acts on the program. 1t
deals with the trials of a man try
ing to outtalk a woman, and the
funny part of it is that he finally
succeeds. Jack McDevitt and Earl
Kelly, eccentric dancers, furnish
another good number on the bill.
Some new and decidedly up to date
pictures will close the show.

oRPHEUM

The new bill at the Orpheum,
which commences with the mat
inee tomorrow afternoon, will be
headed by 'The Patriot" a one act
comic opera, in which Helena Fred.
erick will take the leading role.
The plot is based upon true Incl
dent In American history during
the revolution, when Howe, the
English general, under King
George, offered a reward of $25 200
for the capture of George Wash
ington. 1t is said to be intensely
dramatic and to have patriotic
appeal that is charming. Miss
charlotte Parry, remarkably
versatile protean artist, Is to be
seen in her artistic masterpiece of
protean acting, 1.-THE Comstock
Mystery" The action must neces-
sarily be rapid, as she assumes
eight distinct characters in such
quick succession as to bewilder the
senses. With the exception of the
Yjolice captain and sergeant, every
part of the piece is played by Miss
Parry. Miss Selma Braatz, a
dainty slip of girl, who has been
called "The Boudoir Edition of
Kara" comes from Europe. where
she holds an undisputed reputation
as the foremost of all girl jugglers.
Her skill in the manipulation of
billiard cues excels that of most
male jugglers. John World and
Mindell Kingston can rightfully be
called international Favorites,
for this clever pair have just re-
turned from q round the world

GUN PLAYS A TANCLE
STORIES OF THE AFFAIR ARE NOT
 IN HARMONY.
Women and Son in Jail and Matter VIII Re Threshed Out in Hear
 ing December 10.

Conflicting versions of the shooting fray that occurred near Electric Park Thursday night combine to make the affair one of mystery.
 According to J. c. Abercrombie and s. Miller, who swore out warrants for the arrest of Harriet Harris, a negro woman. and her small son, the white men had gone to the negro's house to collect debt when they were fired upon by the negroes. Abercrombie ex- hibfted a hat apparently full of bullet holes. and Miller claimed that one of the negroes had shot him in the hand
 The Harris woman and the boy were arrested Thursday night by Deputy Sheriffs McCord, Reeves and Haynes Ned Harris. the woman's husband. was arrested on Washington Street late Friday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Haynes.
 The Harris woman Friday night gave her version of the affair. which is con- tradictory to that of Abercrombie and Miller. It seems that she had gone to Abercrombie's store Thursday after noon to secure 8 balancing of her &C., count, and she says no settlement was arranged. Thursday night, she says. someone kicked her door, and when sh @ invited him in. Abercrombie opened ire with a shot gun on her husband. who was slated on a bed. Then, so her story goes. she wrested the gun from Abercrombie and received a pistol bull let in her right arm from the hands of Miller.
 She states that she. her husband and their son ran from the house. leaving the white men there. In less than three hours she and her son were ar- rested and placed in the county jail.

Novel place Cards.

The idea of using small photographs
If bride-to-be, pasted on decorated
menu cards, is not especially new, but
one girl hostess adapted the idea in an
original way.
She gave an engagement luncheon
to friend and had as guests only init
mate acquaintances whose photographs
she could easily get Smart colored
fashioned plates were then hunted and
attractive single figures cut out and
provided with strips of pasteboard at
the back to make them stand,
The head Of each figure was de-
tached and in Its place was put the
head of one of the guests cut from a
small photograph. No names were used
on these place cards and much amuse.
ment was afforded while seats at the
able were being found.
