ABARNECIDAL FEAST
Beat Which the Piece de Resistance
fu Was Crow.

Notable among the recent func-
tions was the Blease banquet. The
banquet was held in South Carolina;
no one was invited to the feast ex-
cept newspaper men.
The POSTMASTER of the occasion
was the Newberry Herald and News.
~Hhe table was laden with all political
! delicacies common to such an occa-
sion. The Newberry Herald and News
occupied the head of the table and
~dispensed meats. At the opposite end
of the table the venerable Laurens-
vile Herald took up position near
the "silly-bub" tank and coffee pot.
When the guests had gathered for
the feast the Newberry Herald and
News upspoke, inquiring of the hon.
ored guest. the News and Courier,
what would he have? Whereat the
News and Courier spoke for gen.
erous slice of we'll done crow!
And what will the Daily Mail
take?" asked the POSTMASTER. Give
me a small slice,' said The Mail.
"Of WHAT" asked the toastmaster.
''Oh, make it crow" answered The
Mail.
What will the next brother, the
Laurensville Herald, take?" came
from the head of the table. Turkey
for mine, with oyster dressing; cut
out all 'consommes' and light truck,
add stoup of 'silly-bub' with a 10
penny in it, and a cup of black cof-
fee"
"Greenville News, what will you
have?" Just plain crow, please; not
too much, my appetite is rather fas-
tidious. My medico tells me that dark
meat is most agreeable to my health
just now
What shall serve to the Charles
ton POST" asked the host and toast
master. Shall | make it turkey
please slice for me a slice of breast
of crow" was the reply; turkey is
too rich for my blood just now; l
need something sedative and cooling
for my constitution. I've been rather
severish for a spell" "
4ae good old Spartanburg Journal
and Herald, with dignity unfolding
their napkins, spoke out simultane-
ously for crow. Give us crow

war. crow. Make it plain crow with

"PoLLYp AND 1.-THE CALL"

The offering at the Grand this week,
ssThe Call Of the Circus" is reminiscent
# polly of the Circus" The two
CLAWS are almost identical in theme,
and they tell practically the same story:
The version being offered at the Grand
is said 10 have been adapted by Theo-
dOre Torch, although the program does
not give the name of the author, How
ever the reVamped version OF TINS SUE
cessful drama is meritorlous' ana MT.
Torch. the adapter, is entitled to a large
share of the credit of the opening per-
fOrmance both as the producer and for
the leading part he took in making the
play a success
The story has a peculiar heart inter-
est and an element of humor that are
delightful. 1t describes the trials and
tribuIations Of a circus rider, her love
for a Young minister, their parting and
their final reunion in the closing act
The story held the attention OF the
audience throughout, and there is not
one duh line in the play. At the end
of the second and third acts are thrill
ing climaxes. The work of Mr.. Lorch
and Miss Fay is above criticism. The
former. in the garb OF a minister, looks
every finch the part. Fred Doty enacted
the part OF "Bingley Butes," the village
oracle in a capital manner. and pro-
duced many a laugh by his quaint
humor. The others in the cast &C
quilted themselves creditably.
Mr.. Torch announced from the stage
that next Tuesday afternoon has been
set aside for the old people, who VIII
be admitted to the house free Of charge.
i was also announced that the produc-
tion for next week would be Woman s
Ritter AtOnement.

Red-hot melodra.na Is the week.
program at the Colonial. For the past
few seasons not many shows of this
class have been sent on the road be-
cause melodrama was oYerdone and
the popular taste demanded a change.
occasionally one has survived, and had
a fairly successful season. Among
these, "As the Sun Went Down" is
considered a drawing card. 1t fur
nishes the usual number of thrills. and
there is enough gun play to suit the
widest desire Of the galleries for eX-
element. AT times the shooting be-
comes so prOmiscuOus and the situa-
tons so absurd that instead of caus-
ing alarm they occasion prolonged mer-
riment. A rattlesnake and a woman
duelist are novelties of this play that
give a little variety TO the cOnven-
tional melOdramatic plot.
The first act of AS the Sun Went
Down" passes off without a killing,
though the guns are drawn several
times and things look ominous. The
villain and the heroine are introduced,
and discover the customary mutual an
tipathy. The odor of sanctity is con
tributed in the person OF a minister
of the gospel from Boston, and the fur
Their regeneration of Rattlesnake Gulch,
a California mining camp, is assured
by the baby, in whom the rough miners
take the usual tender interest
Act two is the woman to the rescue
His wife wuZ kind to me- and 1 don't
propose Ike shall make her wilder"
says Colonel Billy, the heroine with a
heart of gold and no morals to speak
Of She prevents a murder by shoot
ing first, and challenges Pizen Ike,
the worst man in Rattlesnake Gulch,
TO a duel. This takes place in act
three, and Colonel Billy wounds her
man, who retaHates by shooting the
parson, who gets in the way. AS he
falls his relationship of brother to the
hero, Colonel Billy'S lover, is disclosed,
and the curtain goes down on an al
Heeting scene of mutual recognition.
The last act has some humorous
features and more of heart interest
than was displayed in the others. The
whole camp is in mourning for the
parson, whose death Is expected. But
"as the sun goes down" the doctor pro-
nounces him saved. and there Is ten
derby affecting scene that leaves a
pleasant impression
The play is fairly well acted and
better staged. Each of the company
does his or her part censcientiously,
though little talent is displayed. The
return of Victory Bateman, former
stock actress at the Grand theatre
many seasons ago, is OF interest,
though it cannot be said thai much
Improvement is noticed in her work.
Faro Bill, the role played by Edward
Walter, is among the best in the play

Sky Glance Won't Reveal Comet;
Study and Patience Necessary

~ AREFUL study of the heavens and
patience are the two requisites
which star-gazers must possess in
order to find Halley's comet. Only by
luckiest chance has any one been able
to discover the phenomenon by a su-
eprficial sweep of the eastern heavens,
for, unless the eye is trained to observe
the consultations, the comet may es-
CAPE unnOticed-
Generally, the comet may be scen in
the east at a few minutes after 3
o'clock in the morning. Ii is difficult
TO find with the naked eye and almost
impossible when The viewpoint selected
is in the zone of shadow, smoke or
haze. From the east bench is the most
advantageous viewpoint.
Interest in the comet is growing with
perficial sweep of the eastern heavens,
each day and many q nights rest has
been broken in order to arise early
enough to discern the phenomenon.
Amateur astronomers have formed
theories, many have selected the
best spots, and others have de-
vised novel methods of greeting
the celestial traveller. Astronomers
who have devoted a great por-
ton of their lives TO the study OF
the heavens have been criticised by less
knowing persons, the slightest slip of
the tongue or vagary of the printer has
been taken up by hypercritical star
gazers, who are honestly interested in
anything that goes on up in the skies.

J. L. Gibson, professor of astronomy
at the University of Utah. has received
many letters criticising him for utter
anees he IS supposed to have made con-
corning the comet. In reply, ne says:
L have never said that comet is
made up of burning gas. neither have
/ attempted to give the mass of Hal
ley's comet. AS a matter of fact, there
is no known human process by which
the mass of comet can be computed.
All We are able to say is that the mass
is less than a certain quantity. Row
much less we do not know. The mass
Of Halley's comet is less than one hEn-
dred 'hOusandth part of the earth 5
mass. l have said nothing concerning
the speed of the comet on May is. The
speed is greatest at periheliOn, the
point at which the body is nearest the
sun; and perihelion does in no way de-
pend upon the position of the observer.
Halley's comet was in perihelion AprIi
IS.
The comet was first seen with a
telescope, while approaching the sun
this time, in September, 1903. This
morning Saturday 1 was unable to
see IT from town on account of smoke
in the atmosphere, but it was seen yes
terday morning with the naked eye
from the university campus, and was
spoken of as a very beautiful object;
so beautiful that Comet A, 1910, which
we saw in the western sky in Febru-
cry. cannot be compared with it,"

About thirty intrepid hotel men, ac-
companied by their wives and families,
who managed to survive the strenuous.
but delightful, entertainment accorded

seeing they left for eastern points at
7:l0 last evening.
The party was piloted into Salt Lake
yesterday by A. Fred Wey, proprietor
Of the Wilson hotel, whose guests they
were during the ten hours spent in the
city. Despite the glorious time they
had IN the Pacific coast cities, the I'M
bounded hospitality and entertainment
they received, the jolly party found
many things to interest them in Salt
Lake. The trip from the coast in a
special Pullman car served to refresh
them and they were ali keen for the
days entertainment here.
Mr.. Wey got busy as soon as he
reached home in the morning. He had
one of the best lunches ever prepared
by hotel man in Salt Lake ready at
noon.
The early hours of the afternoon
were spent in autoing and a quick trip
to SaltaiF. After the regular services
at the Tabernacle the party was treat
ed TO an organ recital by Professor j.
]. Mcclellan.
The party was made up of the fol-
lowing: William Mccoy, wife and
daughter, McCoys hotel, Chicago; w.
c. Kelley, Cataract hotel, Sioux Falls,
S. D.; Charles Allen and wife, Annex,
Chicago; +. L. HolbroOk and wife, HUI

Mr.. Wey tells in enthusiastic terms
of the efforts exerted by the hotel men
and citizens of Los Angeles and San
Francisco in the entertainment Of the
more than 500 hotel men from all parts
of the United States who attended the
convention
Every man. woman and child who
were the guests of the big-hearted,

OF the many deaths from heart
failure very few realize in advance
the seriousness OF their condition.
When the heart shows weakness,
such as palpitation, short breath,

organs do when they fail to do their
work well. For any condition of
heart trouble you can rely on

HARD TO Find HEApLINER.

II would be just the least bit diff
cult for the unbiased critic TO pick out
the headliner on the bill which is be-
ing offered at the Mission theatre this
week. While it is likely that the
"Phantastic PhantOms" cost more
money than any other act on the bill.
IL does not mean that it is the only
big act. Les TheodOrs present an act
that is a distinct novelty in its line.
and the little plav. bis4Ilusi0aed," as
presented by Mr.. Moore and Miss Palm
er, is another number of the bill that
comes in for frequent applause. Each
of the other acts appear to have
caught on" If one may Judge by the
applause and the large audience. With
the two performances tonight the
Roosevelt in Africa" pictures will be
sent to another city.
