NEW YORK, June 13.-Mrs.

came known some years ago by

i HEATERS
CRACKERJACK BILL
At 0RPHEUM
BY M. M. w.

A choice collection of star acts,
most any one Of which popular de-
cree might proclaim the headliner,
were it not for the popular approval
with which the others meet, make
up the Orpheum bill this week.
S7ngely, there seems a satisfac-
ton for all the whims of ordinary
theatergoers. Those to be fascin-
ated by the scientific secrets of
billiards are wild over the exhibit
ton shots of Harry P. Cline, the
worlds present billiard champion;
Calvin w. Demarest and Albert G.
Cutler, both ex-worlds champions,
included in the "All Star Billiard
Trio" act presented by Burton L.
Mank, manager of the Broadway
billiard parlors in New York city.
Those who love music above all
else find joy in the masterful play
ing of Signor Travato, "the eccen-
trio viOlinist." TravatO is eccen-
trio, but it seems that all masters
are, and Travato is a master of his
iuStrument beyond all doubt. He
seems to make the unpretentious
violin, held tight between his knees,
sing, coo coquettishly, goan and
moan till the audiences are carried
away with the sweet strains and
then laugh saucily at their senti-
mentalities.
Pringle and Whiting are the ex-
pert funmakers and it is between
them and Travato that headline
hOnors seem to nestle in the estim-
alton of the majority, but the
"Prima Donna's Honeymoon by
Marion Murray and company, with
its comedy, has moral that cannot
go unnoticed. 1t makes an audience
think, hence this favorite with
many. Forbes and Bowman have a
lively little singing and dancing
stunt that is well liked, and Jolly"
Fannie Rice, with her miniature
mimic stage, has lost nothing of the
comedy that made 1t so popular in
its first presentation here. Equillo,
the sensational novelty equilibrist,
Is a very clever fellow and some of
his tricks are little short of marvel
Gus. On the whole, the bill is good.

QUICK RESOLVE
TO MARRY

BOULDER, Colo. June 13.-
Having worked hard for a long
time, w. Mitch, leading druggist
of Rosedale, Ind, without a thought
of matrimony in his head set out
for San Francisco on a vacation.
Two weeks later he was married
here to Miss Mary Evans, whom
he had not seen for II years. They
were then at Pomeroy, O., where
they were in high scool.
Their parents forbade them to see
one another, and the Mitch family
moved to Rosedale, and the ylost
sight of each other.
When Mitch arrived in Denver on
his way to the coast he learned from
friend that Miss Evens was in
Boulder visiting sister. He
wrote for permission to call and
the marriage is the result. The
couple will return to Rosedale with
out the completion of the vacation
trip.

A WANDERING Lake.

Lake Nor, in the Tabi DESERT in
southwestern Asia, which has been
called the wandering lake." presents
q phenomenon about which contra
dictory views have been entertained.
Perhaps the Swedish explorer Sven
Hedin has given the most plausible
explanation touching this phenome-
non.
1t appears, according to that explor-
er, that the Tarim river, entering the
lake from the west, brings down dur
ing the period of high water late in
summer great quantity of salt,
which has the effect of driving the lake
lying on the level floor Of the desert
toward the southeast. But the sum-
mer wind, drifting the surface sand
and darkening the heavens with dust,
blows generally from the northeast,
and it, too, tends to drive the lake be-
fore it. The combined effect Of the
urging by the wind and the river is
to force the lake southwark. Yet 1t
is thought the migration of the lake
is not constant in direction, but it
shifts back and forth intermittently,
according as the circumstances change.

She FORGOT.

At 3 O'Clock the absentminded wo-
man left home with an umbrella. At
the subway station she concluded it
wouldn't rain and left the umbrella
with the corner newsdealer. When
she came back at 6 o'clock it was
raining. Boys with umbrellas to rent
darted toward her when she appeared
at the head of the subway stairs. She
paid one boy 10 cents to escort her
home. Then she remembered her own
umbrella Sheltered by borrowed
umbrella, she went back to get it. The
newsdealer looked uneasy.
"Just minute" he said. "Oh, Tom,
come here!'
A small boy lodged around the cor
ner of the stand and handed over a
dripping umbrella. The absentmipded
woman looked at the boy; she looked
at the umbrella. She recognized both.
"Idiotv' she said. II paid that boy
10 cents for taking me home with my
own umbrella" New York Press.
