The Slim Woman Is WinnInQ

The day of tho slim woman's tri-
umph has arrived. THE thinner
one is the more stylish" say the
dressmakers.
This would have been sad news
for the fat woman year ago. She
would have had to try dieting or
exercise. Nowadays, however, the
woman who is too fat for the styles
goes to a druggist and gets a case
of Marmola Prescription Tablets,
one of which she takes after each
meal and at bedtime and so reduces
her superfluous flesh quickly.
These tablets, being made in ac-
cordance with the famous prescrip-
ton, are perfectly harmless, and
they are, also, the most economical
preparation a person can buy, for
they cost only rs cents a large case,
one of which is frequently enough
to start a person to losing fat at the
rate of IL or IA ounces a day. Pretty
nearly every druggist keeps this
tablet in stock, but should yours be
sold out, you can easily obtain a
case by sending to the makers, the
Marmola Company, 1141 Farmer
Bldg, Detroit, Mich.

spells great material harm. 1t is
splendid, though, in that it is a
protest against evil public insti-
tutions, and calls for sacrifice.
Men who call each other broth
err" lay down their tools and
sacrifice wages FOR A CAUSE
WHICH THEY BELIEVE is
GOOD. Primarily this cause is to
save a union of 5000 street car
men from being wiped out by the
Ubiquitous, se-breaking, gov
ernment-corrupti1g Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Co., which is backed
by the city and state.
Secondly, the cause is to punish
a trust which has robbed a city
and corrupted its government.
Every union in the city neglect
to walk out. Think what that
meant. 1t would cut the bread
supply two-thirds; much of the
city's milk is delivered by union
men; there are 500 union grocery
clerks; 400 union confectionery
makers; 500 brewery workers;
92 egg Gamblers; 200 walters in
restaurants; many hack, express
and auto drivers; 1900 cigar-mak-
ers; 1000 bricklayers; 5000 ma
chinists, and so on through the
list. Philadelphia labor is not
strongly organized but it is strong
enough to tie up the city, temper
arily at least. Every industry
and business is suffering. This,
in part, is the meaning of a gen.
eral strike.
Philadelphia is learning that in
dustrial freedom is not possible
without political freedom.
Hold up the menace of your
ballot" cries Philadelphia union
ism, land privilege will quail"
John J. Murphy, president of
the Central Labor bureau of Phil
adelphia, who is out on bail, hav-
ing been arrested for ''inciting to
riot" in a radical interview given
to the newspapers, said:
''It is only by suffering that
we learn. The Philadelphia unions
have suffered so much that
think they have learned more
than the unions Of many other cit
les. We've found out that we
must stand together and SO by a
general strike we are simply say
ing to our employers: We are
brother toilers; you are brother
capitalists; we're going to stand
together, and you fellows can dc
the same; you always do stand
together, anyhow. II our general
strike hurts you, why, all you
have to do, is to make your broth
ers in the street railway company
recognize our right to demand
enough wages to keep us and our
families comfortable

BURIED CARS ALL FOUND;
DEATH LIST NOW 90

Scenic today, and by this after
noon the dead plows should be
again battling with the drifts.
The roar of giant powder and
dynamite is already booming and
echoing in the mountains where
the Great Northern laborers are
blasting away the ice and snow
on the tracks. The two rotaries
will have a crew of 800 men, but
at that will not be able to clear
the track to Wellington before
Thursday. The line from the
East through the tunnel will be
cleared today. Men who came
through the tunnel this morning
state that the rotaries can be
seen throwing the snow high in
the air from the east portal and
will soon be through.
The line from Seattle will be
clear far enough up the noun
tain after today to take out the
dead by train hereafter.

WELLINGTON, March s.
With every wrecked car found, it
is known today that not more than
80 people met death in the We'll
lington avalanche.
Fifty-four bodies have been re-
covered to date, and between 26
and SO remain in the debris. The
railroad company's official lis, of
passengers and crews contain 1O1
names. To this has been added
thirty Italians, making a total of
131. 1t has been discovered, how
ever, that many of the Italians
were listed in the railroad esti-
mate, and probably not more than
115 people were carried down with
the trains in the avalanche. 1t
is impossible to compile an exact
list of those who escaped, but they
number between % and SO.

Rapid growth of the Jewish
population in Asiatic Turkey is
causing alarm among the leaders
of the Young Turks, who are ru-
mored to be endeavoring today to
arrive at solution of the prob
lem.
So much more capable are the
Jews than the ignorant Fellaheen
or peasantry, that the latter are
being crowded from their homes
and lands, and a feeling of in
tense bitterness is developing
against the invaders.

RED MOON

This has been a gala week for the
people in this city. The arrival OF
Cole and Johnson at the Lyceum
Theatre created a stir. All this week
the Lyceum has been packed IRON
door to stage. This is a high-class
show and from the large attendance
of the best people in this city it IS
evident that the performances are
giving satisfaction.
The people, as The Bee said last
week should not hesitate to go to the
Lyceum Theatre. 1t is one of the
cleanest theatres in this city and SO
far as the former customs are con-
cerned, they have been suspended
for two weeks or during the stay OF
Cole and Johnson, two of the great
est comedians upon the American
stage today.
Last Thursday night and in fact
during the entire week the house has
been filled. This company will con-
tinue another week.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY

The event was officially announced
today. The announcement is receiv-
ed with unusual pleasure, first be-
cause it is the Barnum and Bailey
Circus, and further because it has
something new in the way of a parade
a complete menagerie and an entire
new equipment, which cost the man
agement s., 100000.
The public understands that this
circus has always stood at the head
of the amusement enterprises of the
world. The spirit of P. T. Barnum
still animateS its present policy. He
was the greatest Snowman that ever
lived Under the latter guidance 0
James A Bailey the show still grew
in size and attraCtiveness. There is
scarcely a point on the worlds map
where it has not pitched its fourteen
acres tents during its many years OF
travel. 1t is known to the people OF
possible through your generous gift
Asia and of Europe as well as Ameri-
ca, Royalty and peasantry alike have
applauded it. Though an American
enterprise, it belongs in a sense to all
countries. It is world in itself, re-
fecting the wonders of every land.
The performance is given by Eu-
ropean talent. Acts take place ii
three rings, on two stages, in a vast
dome and on a spacious hippodrome
track. The main pavilion seats IS

THE LYCEUM THEATER.

The society people of this city who
love good music and fine acting need
10 have no fear of going to the Ly-
ceum Theater to see Cole and John
son in Red Moon. All of this week
the very best white and COlOred peO-
Die have witnessed Red Moon. Mr.
Sam Corker, Jr., announced from the
stage that during the two weeks en-
gagement of Cole and Johnson there
would be no smoking or drinking
allowed. Mr.. Herman, the manager
of the Lyceum Theater, was the only
generous-hearted white man to throw
omen his theater to cOlOred .Amerl-
cans. and for that reason the Colorec
people should not permit q seat tc
be unoccupied during the two weeks
engagement by this popular company
A representative of The Bee heard
Expressions from a few of the rep
resentative white auditors during the

BETTER COME OUT SUNDAY

900 people. 1t is the most remarkable
audience room in the world. The en-
tire outfit of the show is bran new.
1t was built last winter in the foreign
workshops of the show in England.
There are 700 horses. The menagc-
rie has been added to until it is a
veritable open book of natural his
tory. Not a specimen of interest is
missing from it. In all there are l.
zoo animals. The only baby giraffe
ever born or exhibited in America IS
here to be found.
To convey this vast army of people
the animals and equipment from city
to city, FIVE long trains of double
length cars are needed. In all there
are eighty-fve cars. There are 400
performers. Among them are the
representatives of thirty-two nations.
The master scheme for horrifying
and at the same time fascinating an
audience is introduced as a climax
to this years program by Desperate,
a mad Frenchman. He dives from
the dome of the tent and lands on his
bare chest upon the ground. Another
thriller is found in the performance
of Jupiter, a magnificent white horse.
Jupiter takes a ride in a balloon.
When at a great height he sets off a
battery of rockets and other fire
works. A young woman sits on the
back of the horse during its perilouS
ride. There is no denying the power
of these acts to thrill an audience.
Charlie the First, chimpanzee, Is
another wonderful addition to the lisE
of performers. He is the greatest
bicycle rider and acrobat in the
world. He presents an act on one OF
the stages that causes the greatest
sensation. While the big show was
appearing in Madison Square Garden
New York City, in the spring, Char
lie the First was examined by many
doctors and scientists. They were in
clined to the belief that he was a
real missing link if ever there was
one. Everything he does proves him
more human than animal.

Attention is called to the adver-
tisement of Schwartz, jeweler and
optician, 824 Seventh street north
west, in this issue of The Bee. This
is one of the best and most thorough
jewelry store in this city, Every
thing in this store is first class in
every detail Your eyeglasses are
6tted, your eyes examined, and the
very best material is used in the
construction of your glasses. Sat
isfaction is guaranteed in everything
that is sold, or your money refund
ed. He is a friend of the race, and
you won't regret dealing in this store.
The Washington bee., 1910-05-07

Messrs. Cole and Johnson were a
their best. The entire play was writ
ten by Mr.. Bob Cole, and the music
by Mr.. Rosmond Johnson, two of the
most talented song writers in the
world.
Mr.. Cole grows better with age
He is as young looking and as active
today as he was fifteen years ago.
Mr.. Cole as Slim Brown, the lawyer,
and Mr.. Rosmond Johnson as PUNK
Green, the doctor, are the leading
characters in the play, and their act
ing is unsurpassed. They cause Il
continuous roar of laughter from the
time the curtain rises until it falls
at the closing act.
Mrs. Ada Overton Walker has lost
none of her sweetness and beauty.
She is the most refined dancer and
singer upon the American stage to-
day.
Mr.. Sam Lucus is just the same
as ever. With Sam Lucus out of the
play would take from it the ancient
recollection of bygone days. Sam is
Sam just the same.
The choruses are fine and beyond
description. The scenery is superb.
Let the Washington society show it
self.
