Rough yet warm hospitality and

PANTAGES

A generally good program is
seen this week at Pantages. "A
Man of the People" is a dramatic
sketch of much force, in which
the leading roles are taken by
Melbourne Mcdowell, an advo-
cate of the rights of labor, and
Virginia Drew Prescott, a rich
young woman, portraying capital.
1t is a stage sermon, rejecting
credit upon the cast producing It..
The Three PaxtOns have a
Roman ring act that is a clean
cut and deserving performance.

whispered to his employer that the
book had no bearing on the case at

F BRISTOL, Tenn, Jan. 25.-Rev.
Alfred Harrison Burroughs, known
as Bristols wizard parson, enjoys
the distinction of being the only
person in this country to erect a
hotel especially for bridal couples.
His hotel has % rooms, and is ar
ranged for the newly wed, so con-
veniently that from the time he
Sreets them at the railway station
until they depart after the we'd
ding breakfast, they need not have
a single care in the world.
At the end of 1908, Rev. Bur-
roughs completed the remarkable
record of 2S11 marriages since
1890, and he has acted as recep-
ton committee, host and parson at
all of them. Most of his patrons
have been clipping couples from
Virginia and West Virginia.
His greatest record for one day
was when he married six couples
at one time. They stood in a circle
around the aged minister and were
married with one and the same
ceremony.
Although past IS, Rev. Burroughs
meets all trains from Virginia. and
usually carries from three to four
umbrellas to shelter his patrons in
the event of rain.

CHAPTER I.

A man and woman who had
hurriedly crossed the rotunda
paused before Judge Osterfield's
court one afternoon in June and
gazed anxiously through the oval
glass panels of the swing doors as
though undecided whether to enter
or not.
After a moments hesitation the
man turned to his companion and,
pushing open door, led the way
through the spectators to one Of
the rear benches. The room was
hushed as the newcomers hastily
tiptoed toward the nearest vacant
seats with guilty feeling of hav-
Ing interrupted the proceedings
self consciousness wholly unjusti-
fed by the facts, for business was
often suspended to enable Judge
Osterfield to consult with political
henchmen, one of whom was at
that moment behind the judicial
desk.
His honor had turned his back
upon the audience and was listen
ing to the whispered words con-
flded in his ear. At the counsels'
table only one of the legal group
attempted to occupy himself during
the wait. He sat at the end of the
long table, his head resting be-
tween his hands, and an open book
lying between his elbows. Save
when he mechanically turned a
page of his book, this individual
made no movement of any kind,
and appeared oblivious to all that
was going on about him. Yet the

THEATER
oRPHEUM

There have been stronger bills
at the Orpheum than that of this
week, which is more of compli-
ment to the class of the house
than derogatory of the present at
/ traction. The program carries one
genuine feature in the sketch by
Frank Nelson and company, a
strong dramatic bit very hand
somsly produced. For those who
understand and like Italian opera
the Royal Quartet adds a classic
tone to the. bill. Goldsmith and
Hoppe have quaint bit of
musical specially comedy, being
two of the1few who can get any
thing like music out of a
saxaphone. Miss May .Boley is a
clever impersonator, but she SIAN
ders poor type of the store girl
that never holds a job long enough
to be noticeable. Borani and
Nevaro have something classy in
comedy acrobatics, the feminine
member of the team sighting none
of the fancy work, and they've
got a great little dog. Tschernoff's
circus is a pretty fair exhibition
of animal training, considering the
number of animals handled on the
stage. Mack and Marcus do some
lightning offhand drawing of
comic types and female heads. The
theater orchestra is an important
feature of the bill this week, espe-
cially in its rendition of Italian
music.

Maddox obeyed the Numbered Or

stern gaze. The flush which had
crimsoned Osteriield's face at the

deathly pale. When he spoke
again his eyes once more sought
