MINERS EMPIRE MAKES HIT
WITH ANDY GARDENERS NUMBER

Patsy Bolivar, as interpreted by Andy
Gardner, was easily the hit of the ex-
oellent show that made its bow yes
terday on the boards in Miners Empire
theatre. The Bohemian Burlesquers'
were snappy in acting and pretty n
figure and face. The chorus was well
drilled throughout. In the olio, the
well-known Mankiehi troupe of six
Japanese, who appear in feet-juggling
acts. tool the cake for applause. Their
b~arrel-rolling ELECTED unusually hearty
applause, and many encores were de-
manded by tie audience. The singing
in some of the choruses was especially
'commendable. The rendition of a new
"see-saw'' SONG in which all the old
time rhymes of childhood are prettily
sung, was the hit of the show In the
line of singing acts. Lonesome was
well staged, although some in the au-
dience could not understand how the
soloist could be lonesome" with the
girls so thick around him.
Mack Williams and Ida Sigel were
clever In q clog-dancing act, although
their. singing was not particularly
soothing to the ear. Ida Nicolai, as
Roxie, Patsy's girl, was side-splltting.
and won much laughter and applause.

OUR CT Hill CORNER
AN OLD-TIME SCHOOL.

ONG ago schools were very diner
ent from those to which children
of the present day are accus-
toned. A boy of today woul hardly
know that he was in a school at all II
he were to find himself in an old Dutch
school such as the children of the first
settlers of Manhattan attended.
Perhaps the strangest thing about
those old schools was the teacher, who,
instead of being a brisk young woman
or an alert young man, as is usually
The case nowadays, was then much
more apt to be a rather old man with
a very long beard and long hair, and a
very solemn face indeed. He wore his
hat In the house, and this hat was an
Immense broad brimmed affair; he
wore a long black gown or cloak. which
covered him completely. The boys also
wore their hats in the house, and they
were very little smaller than those
worn by the master.
The s~choolroom furniture was also
very different from that of today. The
room was not usually a large one. The
masters desk and chair were on a plat
form. There were. no desks for the chill
dren. The little ones sat on stools. or
on low wooden benches. or played on
the floor without being reproved by the
master. The older boys and girls stool
on either side of a long narrow table
while they did their tasks In writing
and figuring. There were no class reel
tatlons, such as we have now. Instead,
when it was time to recite the master
called the boys singly or In small
groups around him inc heard their lese
sons.
No boy of the present day would be
willing to make such a picturesque APP
pearance as those boys presented. Now
adays they would be called sissy or
'girl boys" and would be loudly jeered
for their broad collars. which were often
trimmed with embroidery. and their
long curling locks. They wore knick-
erhockers usually. ending in rufies or
turned up cuffs, buckled o and
skirted coats belted in at the waists.
The little girls wore very quaint dresses
reaching TO their feet and modelled ex-
actly after those worn by their mamas.
They wore long aprons, also reaching to
the ground. and tight little caps. which
were not removed indoors.

THE QUEEN OF THE SECRET SEVEN

THE Queen of the Secret Seven!"
The title is indicative of the character
of the piece, and does not give any ex-

as is always said Of good melodramas,
and with some situations that plainly
are echoes of recent Chinese troubles In
New York, the play took with the
audience in the Columbia last night.
Strange to say. the heroine in dire
plight is not rescued by her lover, but
by her brother-in-law.- Outside of this
peculiar and inexplicable feature,
imagine n other me1odrama which
o may have seem, season with TOBIAS
co, and o have the Columbia's offer

for the piece is A. H. Woods.
The Secret Seven are as ~murderous
a band of bad men as ever existed on
the stage. The story deals with their
adventures and with their final defeat
In their nefarious schemes. 1t is mod
erately well acted throughout, and with
the exception of one particularly poor
ly aged scene. the piece Is deserving
of the credit of being good melo-
