AL G. FIELDS MlNsTRELs.

The Nashville Banner says Of Al
&. Fields Minstrel show:
''Al Field brought his usual coed
show to the Vendome Tuesday night.
and the usual big audience which
greeted him and his company whoop-
ed things up with the usual keen
appreciation and pleasure.
All never slumps. His batting and
fielding average with the minstrel
fans always crowds the top of the
column, and the 1909 attraction is
right up with the procession, if not
a few laps out ahead.
There was every variety of up-to-
date minstrelsy, with plenty of the
old favorites to carry things along
gocd fun, good music, plenty of dash,
and a fine line of stuff by AL him
self, ably assisted on the side by the
only Doc Quigley, John Healy, and
others well up in the minstrel world.
The two monologues or addresses
of Colonel All were about the best he
has given yet. Both had the big house
with him, and no one wanted to let
him go. He had hard time, as here
tofore, in leaving the stage, once he
was out behind the footlights. And
only a short nose back of AL was Doc
Quigley, who is probably a bit fun
nier than ever"
This great minstrel show comes to
the Grand next Saturday night, Oc-

The first time Il had been different:
she had not been a woman had she
been unable then TO see that the ad-
venture intrigued Maitland with its
spice OF novelty, a new sensation. fully
as much as she. herself, the pretty
woman out OF place, interested and at

time to meet her at the restaurant.
No, he had never intended TO come:
he had wearied; yet. patient with her,
true 10 the ethics Of a gentle man, he
had been content 10 let her go, rather
than TO send a detective TO take his

AFTER
THE COPPER
BELIEVED THIS EXPLAINS PUR-
POSE OF ISLE ROYALE-RE-
NERTs To AMERICAN INTER-
ESTS AFTER MANY YEARS.

DETROIT. Mich, March 9.-Yes-
terday's dispatch reporting sale of
Isle Royale to the Steel Trust is con-
firmed and the largest island in
fresh water in the world has revert
ed TO American ownership through
the diplomacy of business and with
out. probably. the knowledge of
Washington. Isle Royale, In Lake
Superior, in almost its entirety, con-
sisting of S3,720 acres. has just been
purchased by American interests
from the English syndicate. which
owned 1t for many years. The deal
was concluded In London by +. w.
Nichols of Houghton and Oscar ].
Larson of Duluth. the latter having
been the agent for the United States
Steel corporation.
In the copper country 1t is believ-
ed that the steel corporation intends
TO cut into the island and probably
exploit anew Its abandoned copper
workings, these latter being the ISL
and mine of Sishowit Bay and the
Minong mine at McCargo's Cove.
The company making the sale is
the Isle Royale Land corporation,
limited, with an Office in Liverpool.
