RUSSELL, G. DAVIS
Will Be Vaudeville Offering at the
New Lyric Tonight.

The management says:
Russell & Davis, vaudeville artists,
will open at the New Lyric Theatre
tonight, presenting their own original
lallfiaiure eccentric coined Us ae
Substitute Lawrence Russell and
Emma Marie Davis, who comprise the
team of Russell & Davis, are perform
ers of note, whose names are favor
ably remembered by patrons of the
legitimate as well as vaudeville, they
having been connected prominently
with some.of the leading dramatic at
fractions of the country. They are
presenting an original comedy playlet
entitled he Substitute" Both Mr..
Russell and Miss Davis are scoring
heavily in this playlet, Mr.. Russell's
work having been favorably compared
with that of the late Sol Smith Rus
sch, the role being constructed along
those lines. Miss Davis plays the OPP
posite role brilliantly, introducing dur
ing the action of the comedy very
tuneful contralto solo.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather the management of the Air
dome company have decided to let the
Airdome remain dark this week, and
run their usual shows of vaudeville
and motion pictures at the Lyric
Theatre.

None But Democrats.

Accompanying the call is an ad-
dress to county chairmen as follows:
Headquarters State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee of Texas:
San Antonio, Texas, May 10, 1910.
To the Chairmen of the County Dem
ocratic Executive Committees of
Texas:
Dear Sirs: Information has reached
the headquarters of the state demo
cratic executive committee, through
letters and from other reliable
sources, of plans being formulated by
which the time honored usages of the
party are to be ignored in certain
counties, to the extent of permitting
republicans and other alien elements
to participate in the general demo-
cratic primary election to be held on
July %, 1910. We consider it our
duty to warn all democrats, particular
ly county chairmen and election of
ficers, against countenancing, in any
manner. the carrying out of such con-
spiracy To permit republicans or
other known opponents Of the orga-
nized democracy to participate in the
actions of the counsels of the demo
cratic party would be in violation of
the spirit, if not the letter, of the pri-
mary election law of the state and in
defiance of the well established Gus
tom and usage of the party in Texas.
Such violations would be a scandal on
the name of democracy and tend to
party decentralization and political de-
bauchery.
You, as county chairman, are in
structed to inform all presiding off
GERS of election in the different coun-
ties to use every effort possible to
keep republicans, and others not dem
ocrats, out of the democratic prima-
ries on July %. Where there is any
reasonable question as to mans de-
mofcracy, presiding officers should
challenge him and administer to him,

THE BAPTIST MEETING
Rev. Sparkman Tells What the Bap.
fist Church Stands For-Three
Additions to Church.

Notwithstanding the bad weather
on Saturday night, a good crowd was
at the tent and much interest was
shown, there being TWO conversions.
One gratifying feature of the meeting
is that SO many grown people are con-
Tossing Christ.
Yesterday, according to announce
ment and according to custom during
revival season, Bro. Sparkman
preached on the peculiarities or the
distinctive features of the Baptists.
Among other things, he said the New
Testament was the absolute and final
authority of the Baptists;; that who
ever possessed a New Testament had
the laws of the Baptist church; -
this church insisted on regenera
premiership, It being stated M
connection that the saved and the
saved only are entitled to receive the
ordinances or enjoy the privileges of
church memberships; that every Bap-
fist church was Independent of every
other Baptist church or ecclesiastical
body; that our form of chuch govern
ment was congregational. He spoke
Of our position on the question of bap-
tism, and therefore of close commun-
ion; of our absolute insistence of
granting to every man right to think
and worship as he pleases; of the en-
tire separation of church and state.
He said that in the light of history
Baptists need not be ashamed, but
proud of their faith, and of their stand
on all vital questions, and of the fact
that they were people of settled
convictions for which they had stood
amid storm and sunshine and amid
prosecutions of body and SOUL
1t was a logical and mastery ad-
dress, full of fire and feeling, and the
great congregation gave close atten-
ton to it from beginning to end.
There was an Overlooking crowd at
the tent last night and hundreds were
on the outside Subject: Profit and
Loss" The profit of godliness and
the appropriateness of sin was
stressed. A great number stood for
prayer; one united with the church.
The music was fine, the number by
Miss Burton being especially good.
Hereafter there will be services
from $50 to 1920 a. m, and at 7:45
p. m. The meeting will continue all
this week. Member.

A r urt Dog Tells

The best proof that an individual or company is meeting with success is shown by knocking and petty jeal- ousy on the part of competitors.
 It is the fellow that is not doing anything that never gets the knocks but he becomes a specialist with the hammer. So when you hear a fel- low knocking, you can say he is a Hurt Dog-The other fellow has step- ped on his toes.
 You will find this the case with professional men-Business Men and all others.

 "While you must never allow your boarders to get too far behind in their payments, it is also true that you will profit considerably by allowing them a litte leeway. So long as you are sure of your money it pays landlady to have her boarders a week or two be- bind in their board"

Culinary Mysteries That BewiIdered an EngIishwoman.
 One moment we were eating ducks eggs whose blackened, lime favored whites indicated that their age was unimpea chable; the next we were grap bling with sea weeds, macaroni and the slippery sharks fins that eluded our clumsily manipulated sticks. Now we tackled-not without fear-un. known meats and vegetables cooked in sugar, fresh shrimps. mushrooms from Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pi- geons' eggs and hundred different foreign tasting messes. Then clean sickly pink sirup, sweet potato and Indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only crevice fllers and concluded the first and lighter portion of the repast. Now came the real substantial meal, where In every dish had an accompaniment Of smaller ones, containing gravies, etc., in which to dip the morsel taken from the central bowl.
 There was stewed duck cooked with out salt. roast sucking pig, forcemeat balls and chicken; there were soups of birds nest, of mushroom, of vegetables and of sea slugs. There was grilled fresh water fish. which, according to custom, was helped from the top side only, for the Chinese remembers bis servant, And. finally, at the conclu-. sion the inevitable small bowl of rice and rice water was set before each person.
 After some three hours, with a feel Ing of thankfulness that all was ever. pipes, cigarettes and tea were served and it seemed to me that the delicious aroma which rose from the la ter soothed our senses and almost dis pelled the antipathy that had been growing on us for all things Chinese Mary Moore in London Express.
