"CanaeO Kirby"


York city, The Adventures of Polly"
"Cameo Kirby"
Cameo Kirby" a play by Booth
| Harrington and Harry Leon Wilson
in which Dustin Farnum appeared last
night at the Shubert theatre, is
romantic story, having for it's central
figure a fascinating gambler This
knight of the green cloth has engaged
in his profession" along the Missis
sippi river and while doing SO has be-
come charged with despoiling planter,
after making him drunk, and driving
the planter to commit suicide. The
gambler, however. who is none other
than Cameo Kirby, of a good fam
lily but gone wrong, did not intend
to keep his winnings He stepped in
to save the planter from dishonest
gambler who Is the true villain of the
play
Cameo Kirby keeps the deed to the
dead planters estate with the inten-
ton of restoring it TO the dead mans
children. Kirby. endeavoring to escape
from pursuit, hides in the home of the
man he is accused of .robbing, not
knowing at the time where he is. OF
course there is a girl there and a lit
tie boy, her brother. who takes a
fancy to the gambler The romantic
atmosphere is soon developed. not
without it's comedy side, which is ac
centuated by the appearance on the
scene of Larking Bunce, Kirbys part
ner in iniquity. who is an excellent
comedy character and does much to
make the play entertaining.
Needless to say, Kirby wins the con-
fldence of the girl, daughter of the
Randall whom he was supposed to have
fleeced. Just when the coils are tight
ening around aim and there seems no
avenue of escape for the two gamblers,
the duplicity of one Colonel Moreau is
discovered and the truly beneficent
character of Cameo" Kirby is made
known to the girl. who has already
reached the conclusion that he is sans
reprache. To be consistent the play
wrights have not Joined Cameo" and
Adele Randall in the last act, but have
left them parting dramatically, Kirby
going away to reform and to return
later for Adele, who will wait.
Mr.. Farnum Is the same handsome
and agreeable parsonage We have
grown to know and to like. He has
a congenial part as Cameo" Kirby, and
makes the most of his advantages. The
role is highly romantic-almost If not
quite of the caliber of the best sell
er" hero-but 1t is pleasing enough
and well suited to stage purposes.
w H. st. James contributed fine
piece of character acting as Larking
Bunce. He was a most diverting old
sinner. Henry NJ. Hicks as Tom Ran
dali, Sidney Melville as General"
Samuel ]. Burton as Group, acquitted
themselves well among the principal
members of the company. The wom-
en-, with the exception of Miss Nora
Shelby. who was Adele Randall, did
not shine particularly, which was per-
haps largely due to the fact that they
were not called upon to exert them
selves. Miss Shelby made the heroine
womanly and convincing.
There will be a matinee this after
noon and a performance tonight, con-
Guiding the engagement.

TO EXTERMINATE FLIES

Flies no longer need be the pest of
the country town in summer They
will vanish like mist in sunlight if
the prescription of Professor
William B. Herms of the California
State Board of Health is issued.
Professor Herms' cure is very
simple and reasonable. He ex-
plains that the reason why flies are
so prevalent in the village is that
it is usual for the residents to
leave their refuse open to the air
to feed and afford breeding places
for the flies. If these places are
all closed up, he declares, the pest
will be driven out. To use his
own words:
"The town that abolishes all
open toilets and other conditions of
filth and moisture, such as decom-
posing refuse heaps, accretions in
garbage barrels, ect., will become
fiyless. House flies cannot come
into existence unless they have
some such place in which to breed.
They seldom travel one or two
blocks from their place of hatch
ing. &C.,.
According to reports received
from the State Board of Health, it
has remained for Lakeport, sum-
mer resort in Lake county, to lead
the non-sewered towns of the. State
in relieving its visitor land inhabt-
ants Of fly and door evils by ..mak.
ing the earth-dry toilet, system
universal and compulsory. y l.
"Odors do not escape from
properly operated dry-earth toilets,
and flies cannot. breed lin them.
The change of open vault toilets to
the dry-earth system is.simple and
inexpensive" ..

AOKI AND Wife
TAKE DEPARTURE

Mrs. Gladys Emery Aoki, Gun
jiro Aoki and Mrs. Emery, who have
made this city their home for the
past month, departed last evening
for San Francisco where they will
make their future home. A week
ago, after the papers in the divorce
suit. had been filed, the couple set
tied their matrimonial differences
and the woman instructed her at
torneys to withdraw the papers in
the case. This was done and the
couple stated that they would remain
here unil they had decided on the
place to locate. Yesterday the
family gave up their home here,
shipped what few belongings they
had to the train and quietly de-
parted for the coast. A number of
people had gathered at the train to
take look at the couple whose
marriage the family difference had
been tipic of international dis
cussion. The woman kept out of
view of the curious but Aoki with
his child in his arms seemed to enjoy
the glances Of those who had come
to view. Mrs. Emery kept in the
backgrounds and shovel plainly
her adherence of the notoriety her
daughter and son-in-law occasioned.
At Reno the party secured a
stateroom on train % for the coast
and refused to be interviewed by
representatives of the press.

reports that a considerable amount

present time, and in almost every
instance the parties are making
good. He states that some of the
lessees are taking out ore that will

there seems to be an unlimited
quantity of milling ore. 1t is his

On an island known as Biorka is a little village. of tents. The mighty waves of the great Pacific beat all around them, but they are safely shel- tered by high walls of granite which tut out on either side of the camp, forming a beautiful harbor fer their boats.

of Alaska. 1t IS the hunting Village ot many of the native seal hunters from Sitka and is occupied during the months of April and May each year while the seal herd is passing north. During the season the camp is bright and full of life. The hunters have moved in with their entire families. All day long the beach is covered with happy children playing in the sand while the mothers are busy i'll the tents cooking, making baskets or about their many household tasks, for their tents are models of camp life and take much work to keep in order. The men rise very early in good weather, leaving camp at two or three in the morning. Each boat is about 22 feet long and is in command of captain with four men under him. Each man carries three blankets, heavy blanket clothes, long boots and oil coat. The boat is stocked with three days food and water in case of storms when the boats may be driven out to sea or on some distant island.
 There is much friendly rivalry in get ting to sea. Day may just be breaking, the signs in the sky are favorable, slight noise is heard at the far end of the camp. Some crew is trying to slip out noiselessly, but someone has been careless. An oar falls against the boat. That is enough. In mo- ment the beach is covered with run hing, shouting men. Oars, sails and masts are thrown in, the boats are launched and grand race begins, con- tinuing sometimes miles out to sea.
 Out, out they go until the islands drop below the horizon and only the peaks of the mountains show. Then comes the cry, "A seal! seal" and DOW begins some careful work. The seal is asleep and is floating high on the water, the hunters must creep up be. fore he wakes or he drops from sight at once. The exciting time comes after the animal is shot and the boat is racing to get it before it sinks, for it floats only few moments after the shot. A shotgun is used with heavy shot, the men loading the shells them selves, using hammer on the wadding and putting in load so heavy that the recoil would knock man on land, but makes very little difference in the coats as they give back when the gun is fired. Then comes the run home in the even ing or before if the weather has changed and storm is coming. At nine or ten at night the first warm meal of the day is eaten, and then the tired men sleep. This year has been very stormy so it was impossible to go out often and when they did go it was only to find fleet of schooners from Japan which stay on the sealing grounds and send out their small boats as the wind goes down and either get or scare away all the seal before the native hunters can arrive. The natives are not allowed to hunt in schooners and must stand by and see the seal taken by the Japs- Why must this law be kept on the books? We are not governed by the Medes and Persians. It can be changed. These Sitka hunters are bright intelii- gent, honest men who can build their own schooners and sail them, and only want the chance to go out with any people of the earth on equal terms and hold their own.-Thlinget.
