TO Enter Vaudeville.
Can you tell me where / can write
to find out about vaudeville. where a
person could be instructed TO go into
vaudeville, and II there are books Of
instruction? i so please let me know
where | can get one.
There are no particular branches Ia
study to enter vaudeville. other than
clocution. dancing and vocal culture.
IT requires 4 natural talent and natural
ability in that direction. This, with
practical experience, is the foundation
for a first engagement. A person 10
enter vaudeville must be able either to
act. to sing, 10 dance, to be an acrobat,
or otherwise to entertain. The person
without the qualifications to do either
of these would be unable to succeed,
1t is. therefore. first necessary to find
out as to what style OF an entertainer
you are best adapted. and then study
and work hard along that line. You
could go to school of dramatic art
and learn acting, to a stage dancing
instructor and learn dancing: II you
have a good voice, to vocal teacher
to be taught how to sing. There is no
cther way. All the vaudeville enter
fainprs TODAY have started In at thu
bottom and gradually worked their
way up, through long and hard study.
After you have acquired a certain
amount OF proficiency in your line, then
go to n booking agent, show him what
you can do, and take chances of get
ting an engagement. Unless you ara
gifted for such work. va
would advise you not to try 1t.

THE OPEN CARNAGE WAGONS.

1T is nothing short OF barbarous to per-
NIT garbage to be hauled through the
streets OF this town in uncovered
carts. Why do the health authorities
permit such n thing? II they have no
authority to stop 1t. why don't they
ask City Council for the power? Some
years ago one of the most distln-
guished sanltarians in the South said
that while cow-yards IN thickiy set
tied communities might be regarded
as unpleasant from an olfactory point
of view, they could not be considered
detrimental to health. Probably II is
some consideration OF this kind that
keeps our health officers from NOV
ing against the open garbage wagons.

and the health officers would preach

THE COLONEL AND MIR. DAVIS.


~ lot of belated slobber about Gen.
eral Lee is the rather picturesque
description of the Colonies recent
letter to Charles Hall Davis, of Peters,
burg, made by the Northern Neck
News. Our contemporary does not think
a great deal of the Colonel and re-
freshes the memory of an incident In
the Colonel's life which must be rather
dlstasteful to him. when Jefferson
Davis" says the News, Sin his old and
honored age, ventured kindly and
courteous admonition to the effect that
Roosevelt had misrepresented him
Davis in one of his historical 60
articles, Mr.. and Col. or eX-President
or Roughrider Roosevelt impudently
returned the old statesman's letter
with this Endorsement thereon: Mr.
Theodore Roosevelt refuses to hold any
communication with Jefferson Davis.
Not Mr. Davis or the Hon. Jefferson
Davis or even Jefferson Davis, ESQ.,,
but plain, brutal, uncivil Jefferson

The News refuses to "be humbug-
ged." 1t Will recolect, however, that

her coffin.
ANOTHER REPUBLICAN, FABRICA-

for being voted on at the election this

Such an insinuation is false on the
