The New Phillips.


Hufford and Chain. the two black
face comedians at the New Phillips
these last three days are as relieving
as the sound of babbling brook.
Well, some times they sound like
that-just babble along through a
whole line of nothingness. But this
nothingness is just enough to make
them desired. They say things which
tickle the palate. or the thorax, or
the Observation-Disclosures you are east
ly tickled. When it comes to initial
ing the colored brother, they can do
it.
Dixie Harris and sister are a mark
ed improvement over some things
which Richmond has seen in their
line. Dixie sings and his sister
dances. Then Dixie dances and his
sister sings. Between the two there
is always something doing.
And still they come. Kipp and Kip
Ply juggle. How they can eliminate
some of the things which are making
the rounds of the vaudeville stage is
surprising and still make good. But
they do it with full line.

OH, BLAME PUBLIC s!
What Does the Street Car
Company Care for Such
Mere TrifIe?
BUM SERVICE CONTINUES

There was the same old lack of street
car accommodations following the
show last night. One car each way
was all that was provided. The West
Richmond car made long trip over
the Fairview line before going out the
Richmond avenue route. The Earl
ham car was not able to accommodate
the patrons of the line. Men stood on
the tenders and women packed the
platforms. The car was loaded so
heavily that the rear fender bumped
the ground all along the trip. When
there is crowd, there is no car: when
it rains the cars leak and when it is
dry the dust suffocates the passengers.

Remarkable Find in Southern
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of
Strange Animals Found.

Los Angeles. July 27.-The Academy Of
Science today asked the city council for
500 to be used in developing remarka-
BILE deposit of bones of antediluvian ami
mails in the asphalt beds near Hollywood.
Work is now being carried on there by
the University Of California, the UniveT-
sity OF Southern California, the Los An
geles High school and the Los Angeles
Academy Of Science, each institution hav
ing an allotment Of land fifty feet square.
The tract in which the bones lie covers
about five acres.
There have been eXhumed so far COM
plete skeletons Of a giant sloth-an ami
NAL almost as big as street car; several
sabre-toOthed tigers; prehistoric lion of
the African type, but larger; a giant cam
el; three species of prehistoric wolves; a
horse that seems to have been larger than
any that exists today; giant eagles and
CondOrs: large number of miscellaneous
rodents; a small prehistoric cat; the skull
of a bird larger than an ostrich, and pOr-
tions Of elephant skeletons.
The greatest find was the skull Of an
extinct species of buffalo or prehistoric
OK. So far as known, there is not another
like it in the world and it is said to be
worth 81 600. The types of animals shown
by these discoveries seem to have been
common here several thousand years ago.

luton authorizing the tariff conferees

LAUGHTER was created by Mr.. Clark,
the minority leader, remarking that he
was being "deviled to death for infor-
nation as 20 when the Democratic con-
ferees were to be called in.
If YOU can tell me. III tell you" was
the only consolation he got from Mr..
Payne.
Mr. Tawney of Minnesota aroused the
house 20 a high pitch of excitement
when he denounced DR.. Charles Richard
Van Hise. president of the University
of Wisconsin, for having as Mr. Taw-
ney said. made false charges against
him regarding MS attitude on the con-
servation Of the natural resources.

Possible Lineup.

To defeat the report the western men
are counting upon votes of the Republi-
can senators from Wyoming They also
count upOn the votes OF nine OF ten pro-
gressives who have opposed the tariff bill
schedules throughout its course in the
senate. and of thirty Of the thirty-One
Democratic senator's. making in all forty
eight votes. an ample number to defeat
the report If the report is sent back to
the conferces on account of the free hides
provision. it is believed the conference
committee seeing the futility of attempt
ing to secure the passage Of bill with
hides on the free list, viii modify the re
port to either provide for duty on hides
or couple free hides with free boots, shoes
and harness. Chairman Aldrlch is be
ieved to be in sympathy with the move
mcut of the western senators, and II II
thought he would not be dispieased to
see the conference report rejected and
an opportunity given to change it to suit
the demands of the western men after u
is demonstrated to the president that the
senate Will not accept free hides.

LATEST REPORT FROM
THE CONFERENCE ROOM
GROUP OF WESTERN SENATORS
PLAY SHOES AND HARNESS
AGAINST FREE HIDES.
lsnecIaI ID The Herald.l

Washington, d. c., July H.-It Is prac-
tically certain that a group of western
senators who have been standing out for
dutiahle hides viii vote against the adop-
tion of the conference committees report
if it provides for free hides and does not
provide for free boots and shoes and free
harness. These senators have decided not
to support a report which places on the
free list the product of ranchmen and
farmers and places a protective duty on
imports CT manufacturers of that product
Since the announcement that the confer
ence committee would report free hides
the western senators have been conduct
ing a carful canvass of the senate and
ere now reasonably sure they have SUI
ficient strength to reject the report and
send it back TO conference, unless as stat
ed it provides for free boots, shoes and
harness as well as hides.
