Vaudeville at the Orpheum.

Walter c. Kelly need yield precedence to
no man in the country doing negro dialect.
In fact none comes to mind who can be
compared to him. Kelly is giving this
week his sketch Of a Virginia police court
with various offenders brought to the Tar.
That his ability Is not confined to colored
dialect is shown In the closing bit where
he impersonates two other offenders, an
Italian and an Irishman.
His was the most successful Of a mum
Der Of well received acts. There is a lively,
well constructed sketch by Sewell Collins,
who is writing about the best sketches re-
Gently seen in vaudeville, with the possible
exception of w. Fl. Thompson's. Miss
Margaret Moffat, a clever actress, end
highly competent support, are giving this
sketch, which bears the title, Awake at
the Switch the switch being a telephone
board.
The Musical Johnstons have applied the
adjective to themselves without overstat-
ing the case. Their ~xylophone. playing
really has musical merit and is the most
warmly received musical act of the season.
John Birch plays a whole melodrama
himself, his changes of character being
more than protean in their speed. His bur
lesque is novel in its working out and de-
serves the applause It receives. More nov
city in an act of the skillful kind is
shown by the three McGradys than any
thing seen in a Ions time. They are arrow
shooters and equilibrlsts. and they do some
astonishing feats. Gordon and Marx are
two German comedians. They have studied
out some new and diverting business and
their turn is on a par with the rest Of
the bill. The Walthour trio are acrobatic
bicyclists, and excellent ones. The bill, as
a whole, will not cause and dlminution in
attendance at the theater-rather the re-
verse, If this is possible.

see Billy Clifford at the steering wheel
Of an aeroplane in which he dashes to vic
tory, capturing thereby the leading woman
OF the company. For last year Il was an
automobile which he drove to this purpose
and this time II is a motor boat,
Whether he comes back driving a hi
plane, a submarine or a donkey cart. Will
not matter much, for his reception Is
sure to be as enthusiastic as Il was last
year and as 1t was last night.
The girl at the helm was there meta
phorically only. 1t was the idea that she
was 70 steer the racing craft while Cliff
ford ran the engine, but she could not
reasonably be expected to cover her charm
ing gown with oilskins and pillow through
the dashing waves. The general theme OF
the offering has been indicated. There
Is a wealthy father as anxious now TO
beat the sporting countess in a motor boa,
race as he was once in an automobile
contest. There is also the other driver
who is, of course, another candidate for
his daughters hand. In this case he is
not crooked. The automobile race he would
have thrown, but this time he steers a
straight II not a speedy enough course.
The playwright approves of this tendency
to rectitude and so marries him off to the
countess with whom he had Just hap
pened to be really in love with all the
time.
1t need not be thought from the fore
going that The Girl at the Helm is a
slavish copy Of the other piece. It's not,
though presenting points OF similarity as
indicated.
Clifford himself is as funny as Of yore
and he has a considerably better company
h last season. The chorus sings better
and some of the principals have a little
on their predecessors. The comedy has
been handsomely staged and the motor
boat scene is impressive and exciting.

The passing of Mr. Roosevelt
as President of this country is
nearing, and while he has his ad-
mirers yet there are many of his
own party who will rejoice when
he drops the reins of govern
ment, and becomes a hunter in
Africa. That the majority of
people are tired of his extreme
prominence on every proposition
can hardly be doubted, and that
they will be delighted with bis
retirement is a future certainty.
Of all the men who have filled
that important station he has
been the most CONSPICUOUS, the
most dogmatic and the most ex-
treme. He has covered t h e
globe with his pretended square
deal" and posed as the most
central figure in every angle that
leads to much talk or pointed to
prominence. His claims of half
Northern and half Southern, the
moral significance being peace
and prosperity to all sections,
was but a hollow pretense when
measured by Southern appoint
ments. He has been the big
figure in curbing trusts, in puri-
flying politics, in promoting
peace and enforcement of the
laws, apparently, yet some parts
of the country have been trod-
den under foot, as it were, GER
tain combines have been prose-
cuted and others unmolested, but
all who dared oppose his poll
cies have been severely criticised
and when in his power have been
fully punished. He has his dev-
atees who believe him the great
est of all men and almost infali-
BILE, but the great bulk of Ameri-
can people refuse to become hero
worshipers and are tired and dis
gusted with Czarish tendencies.
They will be glad when his sue
cessor qualities and wish him a
long and happy stay in the
juugles of Africa, where he goes
to conquer the wild animals of
that region.

Caney Fork.

The weather has been most
favorable to farmers and they
have made rapid progress with
their work, more ground being
broken for corn and tobacco than
ever was known at this time of
the year.
]. T. Sublett of .Caney Fork,
who perhaps takes more delight
in fox hunting than any of our
citizens, but who can not boast
Of capturing a black fox or of
catching red or grey fox and
coon, all in one hole, has per-
haps had more real chases and
bags more real foxes than most
lovers of the chase nowadays.
The pelt of fine red one a few
days ago, followed by a grey one
now and then is evidence of his
success with his dogs.
The scare given to the moon
sinners of lower Caney Fork, a
few days ago by Marshals is but
another evidence to them that
they remained too long at that
stand. They should have moved
out of that camp into another
near by. Whether it be true or
not there are citizens in these
diggins that believe there has
been system of Shining"
here for years and that no evil
meaning effort has ever been
made to catch them out right
and expose them to the public.
1t is claimed that the still is
moved from one place to another
at intervals of every week, or of
from two to three days as cir
cumstances warrant.
The worry attending the minds
of those on the outside concern
ing the supposed railroad tax VS..
Green and Taylor counties. seems
to be greater than that of the
citizens living in either of these
counties. They are moving
steadily along pursuing the ever
tenor of their way fully realizing
that "Uncle SAM has never yet
made it a point to put in his in
forcing power as between
persons or as between corpora
tions and persons, and there is
no reason to believe that he,
Uncle Sam would make an ex-
ception of an outraged citizen
ship and take their money and
property for a thing they had
never received and had no hope
of ever receiving. Plain citi-
zens are making no noise it is
those who hope to be benefited.
But their hope is like a drown
ing man catching at a straw.
