Burlesque Theatres Open
Season Nth Good Shows
Pat White and His Gaiety Girls
Attract Big Audience to
the Empire.

The largest audience in the histOl y
of the Empire Theatre crowded it Sat-
urday night to witness Pat White and
his Gaiety Girls open the burlesoue sea-
son with Casey Among the Stars
The record-breaking size of the audi
ence was taken as a tribute to Man
ager Leon Evans, whose first whole
season it will be, and to Pat White and
his company. Manager Evans was pre-
scented with a large floral horseshoe by
his admiring friends, which about filled
bis office.
So far as the audience vas concerned
Casey could not have found himself in
any situations more mirth-provoking
than those in which he was involved
Saturday, and one round of laughter
followed another like heavy artillery
fire. Just as the program announced,
all of the fads and fddle-de-di-does of
the day were presented. White, as

TAFT CUTS DOWN
ARMY TO 10000
Orders Big Reduction in Regular
Force and Recruiting Will
Be Suspended.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The mill
itary strength of the United States will
be reduced to $4,000 men by July l,
1910. Instructions to this effect have
been sent to the secretary of wal by
President Taft
Mr.. Roosevelt while in office, had ex-
erted his energies toward building up
the army TO a full force of 100. 900 men.
That new Instructions had been is
sued by Mr.. Taft became known among
army officers today, and was a sur
prise. To carry into effect the Presi-
dents order it will be necessary to
diminish the enlisted force by nearly
10 per cent.
There will be no reduction in the
number of officers, as this is a matter
for Congress to determine. The Presi-
den has the right 10 add to or take
from the enlisted force, provided it is
kept within a total of 100, 900 men. The
present enlisted force consists of about
5000 men.
The reduction will be effected by a
suspension of recruiting within the
next few months until the total
strength is 0 1000.
1t is estimated that the cost to the
government of maintaining a soldier in
time of peace is about 81 200 a year, but
it does not follow that a reduction Of
the enlisted force from S8, 900 to so, 900
will enable the government to make an
annual saving of SO, 500, 900.

AL Reeves's Big Beauty Show
at WaIdmann's a Bang
up Piece.


1t was like old times at Waldmann's
Theatre Saturday nignt, when ali the
elements that have made the place
popular among bu%rlesque lovers FOX
years were present to make the opening
a gala event. There was a big audi
ence, which resembled a family gather
ing, so intimate was the attitude
toward the theatre, where probably
everyone in the audience had obtained
amusement many times before. There
was also a bang-up show of the good
old burlesque sort, with bright new
trimmings furnished by AL Reeves.
Beauty Show was the name of it, and
the girls in the chorus sized up very
we'll to the title,
A satirical review called "A Merry
Go-Round," introducing nearly the en-
tire company, vas the opening appe-

formers was most contagious. The

Casey, was irresistible, and the would
be stars who caused his troubles con-
tributed much to the joy OF the per-
Torrance.
Apparently there is a tendency for
burlesque to swing back toward comic
opera this season, as the production was
filled with tuneful offerings. Among
the songs which were particularly eff
fective were jungle Moon" sung by
Miss Catlin; Goodbye, Girhe," RE
member Me-" prince Goodfellow,"
1.-THE Hat My Father Wore" and the
Spanish Serenade.'' A decidedly strik-
ing effect was gained through the
artistic costuming of the principals and
members of the chorus.
!. Other members of he cast, besides
White. who never overlooked a single
chance to score, are George T. Davis,
as Stanley Clayton, the manager of the
stars; Sam Green, as Colonel whitney,
Oscar Lewis, as jake, a fallen STAR;
Archie Onri, who portrays Shamlet. a
fallen star; Emma Wagner, as Nine.
Marie, a grand opera star; Miss Mar
gerie Catlin, as Daisy Kid, a burlesque
star, and Miss Anna Grant, who is
Carrie. the Colonel's daughter. Several
excellent acts are introduced in the olio.
Casey will be at the Empire all week.

COLGATE CHAIRMAN,

This week will decide who is to make

A meeting is scheduled for Thursday
night, but as district meetings are
being held all this week to fill up the
places ION the county committee, the
gathering may be postponed for a few
days.
At present, barring the dark horse"
Colonel Austen Colgate, Assemblyman
and the Governors personal aide, is
the favorite for the place. He has an
nounced that he is not a candidate, but,
1t is said, will try for the place il others
of his party believe he can serve it's
interests. better that way than by re-
naming on the Assembly ticket. He
will not take or run for both places,
however, he has declared, following the
stand taken by Assemblyman William
p. Martin.
one of the advantages of entering
Colonel Colgate in the race is his we'll
known intimacy with Governor Fort.
The Governor, it is said, has an eye
ION the 1910 campaign, when there will
be elected a Legislature that will in
turn elect a United States Senator in
1911. The Governor would like to have
a friendly hand at the helm in Essex

meet all requirements. -

STRIKING Halter LOSES
SUIT AGAINST UNION,
Court Finds that Guarano Has
No Cause for Action.

The suit of James Guarano, of SO
Sixth street, against Local No. IA, Uni
ted Hatters of North America, was
non-suited in tn eDistrict Court today.
Guarano claimed 5000 from the union
as strike benefits since he has been out.
He alleges that at the request of the
union he quit work on May q and that
at that time the union officers promised
to pay him a weekly sum. He declared
that since he has been out of work he
has received. no money.
The testimony of the officers of the
local showed that G%uarano was not en-
Titled to a weekly allowance, because
he had failed to pay his dues and was
not in good standing. They also showed
That since Guarano has been out of
work he has been conducting a saloon.

FAST BALL GAME FEATURE
OF STARS OWN OUTING
Evening Edition Employees Won
by Is to 8.

In some unaccountable manner the
story OF the great, exciting, interest

editions of the STAR, played on the
Tuscan Club grounds, Hilton, on Satur-
day, was as published this
morning in the essential particular OF
the score. According to this account

ton won, whilei as a matter of fact
and record, the score stood at the end
of the nine lacerated, palpitating in
nings, Is to 8 in favor of the champion
team from the evening edition. The
game was played during the annual
outing of the STAR employees.
While there should be no tendency
to gloat, and so far as possible there
will be no gloats gloated, it should be
stated Simply as d matter of history
that the evening diamond warriors
sewed up the game in the first session,
and the outcome was never in doubt
after that time. The victory was one
of the hardest-earned triumphs since
the time when the first game of ball
was played, in that the umpire, Henry
McCriskin, is a member of the staff
Of the morning edition. 1t is conceded
that Mr.. McCriskin endeavored to be
fair, but in thirty-seven close decisions

knowledge, his natural prejudice a

He that hath purse, let him take it, as
he goes upon his mission
Is it not perfectly plain? Where does Par
son Scoville find in that Scripture the slightest
authority for taking up collection?
Christ did not tell his disciples to beg some
outsider for his purse. Oh, no, He merely
said in effect "Although you may have had
purses when | sent you out before you were
commanded not to take them with you Now,
however, those of you who have purses are
given my permission to keep them with you
as you travel
That's all there is to it. Any other passages
you want the old man to look up, Scoville?
