the Avenue Theatre.

the Avenue Theatre.
Every theatre-goer remembers when
the farce comedies of Charles HOyt
were the greatest attraction that any
playhouse could offer This condition
existed until comparatively recent
date. Such plays as "A Texas Steer"
Chinatown" "A Bunch Of Keys" and
others of similar type, we're big sue
cesses. Travelling companies Of the
highest class broke all records of at
tendances wherever the plays we're
presented. The success of the
comedies was so pronounced, in fact,
that when they were withdrawn from
the stage. nothing could be found to
replace them. Author after author
tried to produce substitutes, but in
vain; the American public wanted the
Hoyt plays and would take no other

long felt want by presenting the best

thusiasm, and it is believed the same
condition will obtain this week. The
comedy will be given in an elaborate
manner. Seymour Parker, the emin-
ent scenic artist at the threatre, has
painted special scenery for this pro-
duction.
The patrons of the Avenue will to-
night be presented with pictures of
Miss Ailleen May, the leading woman,
who is such a favorite. The photo
graphs of this capable actress will
also be given away as souvenirs at the
Friday matinee Each week, hereaf-
ter, Monday night and Friday matinee.
pictures OF different members of the
stock company will be distributed to
the audience.
The plan of having the audience
vote for the plays Il wants to see will
be resumed tonight. II will be con-
tinued throughout the season. The
production receiving the largest vote
this week will be given the week of
December s. AS the recent popular
decision Of the Avenues patrons was

CANN0NlSM Is REPUDIATED
 STATES BRYAN
Especial from United Press.)


 Lincoln, Neb.. Dec. 9.-"Cannon- ism has been Overwhelmingly repu- dated" declares William J. Bryan, but the dethronement must be made complete. In urging Champ Clark to lead the fight in the next Congress for the annihilation of the Cannon rules giving the Speaker power to name committees, Bryan says. edi- torially, in his Commoner. today:
 ''The whole scheme is repugnant to the Democratic sense of conSci- ence. The Speaker ought to be presiding officer rather than a boss. He ought to be in a position to de eide parliamentary propositions on their merits, not according to party exigencies. The committees ought to represent the wishes of the party, not the wishes of the man who may happen to be Speaker.
 Champ Clark is just the man to lead Tn an inauguration of this re- gime. If the Democratic party win have the courage to inaugurate the reforms demanded by the people it can count on popular approOl."
 MT. Bryan, today, served notice on the Democratic party that he will be flatly against the nofninat tion of any candidate for the Presidency, in 1912, who bears any taint of Wall street. In an editorial in his Com moner. Bryan declares the party 70 be more radical. today. than ever be- fore. He says:
 ''The Democrats are being asked to accept Wall street leaders not be- cause of any Democratic DrinciDl@. advanced, but because Wall street promises victory. In 1892. the Dem ocratic party won a victory on the tariff issue but as soon as the elec- ton was over the Wall strent anaf- ciers demanded the unconditional re- peal of the Sherman law and se- cured thereby a shameless use of patronage by the coercion that they know so we'll how to practice. And what was the result? A Republican triumph more sweeping than any be- fore since 1873, and more sweeping than any since. except in 1894, Wall street again nromised victory. The defeats of 1898. 1900 and 1908 were not so disastrous as the defeats 'f 1894 and 1904. The party is more radical now than in either 1S94 or 1904. What stupid folly 70 think Of winning a victory by retreat and sur- render to Wall street"

EAST SIDE COMMITTEE
 AGAIN ASSEMBLIES TO DEFEND GARBsGE CONTRACT

Thomas J. McNamara, chairman of the General Committee appointed to protect the East Side from Garbage nui ance, has called a meeting of the committee. for tonight. in the rear of his drug store at Noble and Berx- shire avenues.
 The committee will make plans to act in case the Board of Health should show a disposition to modify the contract made between the City and Thomas c. Fischer, of fork, Pa, for the reduction of garbage.
 It now appears that MT. Fischer's s financial packers regard the contract as too stringent and may not put money into the proposed plant.
 Mayor Buckingham, City Attorney Cullinan. MT. Fischer and his counsel met with the Health Board, yesterday morning. The mayor declined to con- sider a change in the contract Mr. Fischer returned to York, accom- panied by counsel. to consult further with his financial packers.

A CONSUL WITH A CROUCH.

 When Robert Louis Stevenson lived in Samoa he dressed as the others there did. Up at Vailima they all went about in their bare feet, except when expecting guests.
 When Stevenson came into Apia he looked only half dressed. He always came down with soft shirt on and generally white flannel trousers. some times with red sash round the waist.
 On one occasion the genial author was cruelty snubbed by newly appoint ed British consul at Apia, one Colonel De CoetlOgon. The story Is told ill With Stevenson In Samoa" by H. J. Moors. the author:

Knotty Language Problems TranslatsFs

 Some of the riddles that have to be solved befsre the Bible can be trans lated into remote and barbaric tongues are cited in that annual wonder book, the popular illustrated report of the British and Foreign Bible society. How. for example. can you find . name for 'lamb'' among the lnhabit- ants of some bland where the only quadrupeds are pigs and rats? How can you render "whiter than snow" in the dialects of West Africa, where snow is utterly unknown7
 Occasionally the difficulty Is one of sheer space. Lengua. the speech of an Indian tribe in Paraguay. which has been furnished with the gospel according to St. Mark. Is so unwiefdy that the word eighteen can only be rep resented thus: "Sohogemek-wakthla- mok eminik antanthlama." Literally translated. that means finished my hands. pass to my other foot-three," for fingers and toes serve as units. The word for butter in Lengua Is "waitky ana anamankukingnink ikpith- muk." which means literally '.the grease of the juice of the udder of the cow"
