AT THE HOPP.

Another treat in vaudeville is of.
fered at the Hopp this week. The
Bartfk troupe of Russian singers and
dancers open the bill with an odd but
amusing musical number in native
tongue followed by a series of native
dances. Miss Nancy Lee Rice, known
as THE Dancing Harpist,'' is another
who will cause one to sit up and take
notice and it may also be added that
she is considerably above the average
feminine entertainer. "A Dakota Di.
vorce," a comedy sketch by J. X. EN-
nett & Co. is full of fun and at the
same time portrays the tricks OF
jealousy. The sketch tells q pretty
story. Mr.. Emmett rendered several
vocal numbers which drew numerous
encores. Charles Hasty, "The Hoosier
Boy" is the next thing to a scream in
point of real fun and the show is
closed with the Malvern troupe OF &C
robats. There are five. members of
the troupe and their work is on the
daring order.

chatter and joyous laughter. The
story of the play moves briskly on
deliciously funny farcical motifs and
is built on an exceedingly droll idea.
1t might be termed joke in three
acts. The people in the story belong
to the fashionable set in Saratoga and
the action OF the play begins one sun
ny afternoon at that popular pleasure
resort. The character created by Mfr.
Miller, a westerner with keen sense
Of humor and proper appreciation for
the absurd complications into which
he is drawn, is the one person of the
play who is not fashionable idler.
Mr.. Miller, as usual. has gathered an
imposing array of merit in his sup
porting company. The cast includes
Laura Hope Cross, Grace Elliston,
Mabel Bert. Robert Warwick, Orme
Caldara and Elinor McEwen.

HOTELS
WON'T INCREASE
PRICES FOR FOOD
Another Advance by Meat Re-
tailers May Affect
Restaurants.

Newark hotel and restaurant men,
with possibly one or two exceptions, do
not intend to follow the example of the
increasing the prices OF meats served
TO their patrons.
At the Continental Hotel Louis Cook,
proprietor, said: I'VE cannot raise our
prices, as we run the hotel on the
American plan, and it would be hardly
fair to charge more in our restaurant,
which is run on the European plan. l
have never raised the prices of our
food, and do not intend to do it, al
though it costs me $500 more a month
to run my kitehen than 1t did a year
ago.
"As the manager of the Buffalo Bill
Wild West Show, I have had agents out
through the West getting prices on all
kinds of food supplies for the show
people, and / find that the prices are
the same out there as they are in the
East, even in vegetables"
Joseph N~ensrow, manager of the Ma
varre, said: 1--WE will not increase our
prices, as we feel that the present mar
ket prices will not remain at the pres
ent figures more thar a week or 50,
as the graes-fed cattle will be soon
brought into the market, n this will
force the prices down. We do not see
any necessity for increasing our prices
under the circumstances"
Emil H. Weber. caterer at h Ho-
Tel Broad. said that there would be NO
increase in the prices of meats served
on the tables at that hosiery unless
there was mother advance in the retail
prices.
At Achtel- Stetter's restaurant it was
said that there had been no increase
in prices as yet, but that possibly there
would be if the retail prices were adj
Vanced again.
James De Jaime said he would be
obliged to ask more If there was an
other advance made by the butchers,
as there was little or no profit at pres
ent in the business on ccoun of the
Increase in the prices Of all kinds OF
foodstuff.
