Nh. NAGLEs SHAKE UP

merce and Labor.

! Washington, July 12.-The greatest
shake up" that ever has occurred in
the personnel of the department of
commerce and labor took place today

ten others accepted.
This action was taken by Secretary
Nagel as the result of an investiga-
ton into the efficiency record" of
the employees of his department. The
reductions were made, it is stated,
because the employees were found to
have ''loafed," while those allowed to
resign were found to be inefficient. -
The secretary's declaration is to
inject new life into the work of this
department. Several changes are to
be made, it was intimated today, as

siderable dead timber in his depart
ment, Secretary Nagel about six

Managers notice:

MdHdSeF nOIlCe.
The Leighs opened their three
days engagement at this popular
theater last night to large and en-
thusiastic audience, and we're pro-
claimed by all present to be not only
musicians of the highest class, but
the most marvellous jugglers ever
seen in this city, barring none. Mr..
Leighs' feats of balancing were far
superior to any performance of its
kind, while the work of his wife is
perfect. These dainty entertainers
open their act with a saxaphone solo
which never fails to please, and from
this they work into one of the pref
test juggling acts of the day, clos
ing with rapid exchange of Indian
clubs which battles the audience as
to how so many glitteTing clubs can
pass each other so fast without hit
ting one another. Well, if you want
to try and solve the problem and see
other tricks just as marvellous, to
say nothing of the pictures-come out
to this cool theater and spend a
pleasant hour. The Leighs will
change the musical part of their pro-
gram and add new tricks to their jug
Cling act The pictures and songs
will all be new

A TENNYSON STORY.
The Poets Mistake and the Way He
Rendered an Apology.


England's great poet Tcnnyson was
somewhat gruff and formidable man.
whose manner with curious strangers
was by no means gentle and pleasant.
Once n young woman who had been
lust introduced to the great man NJ
Frcshwater was left alone with him
on the seashore. She stood in immense
awe of the poet and therefore did not
interrupt him as he sat speeches.,
gazing straight ahead OF him at the
sea
The long silence was broken ut last
I'm an astonishing manner by Tcnny-
son. He was going to open his lips and
utter some lovely thought. the young
woman imagined. Instead he opened
them and In gruff and gloomy tones
gave voice To this remark:
You crcak"
The girl started back in horror.
Tcnnyson added an explanations:
You creak. Your stays creak."
This so startled the young woman
| that she ran away and went indoors.
where large company. she found,
was gathered together over tea. In n
little time Tcnnyson appeared, vague
expression on his countenance. as
though something had gone wrong
with him. The girl. now accounting
him possibly mad and certainly impo-
lite. tried hard TO hide away from him.
In vain His eagle eye found her out.
He threaded his way among the other
guests toward her. took her hand and
said In resonant tones before the whole
company of them:
