John" DEPARTS

World Mark Peculiar Career.

Death came to John Elsrode, aged
seventy-six years, famlliarly known
about the opera house as "Old John"
Friday morning at the infirmary,
where he had been conveyed a few
hours previous by the Hess and Mar
ket ambulance.
Thursday evening John ate his sup
per as usual and appeared to be in
his usual health. This morning Mrs
Fields, of south State street, at whose
home he was rooming and boarding,
found him helpless with paralysis. He
is believed to have relatives In this
country, but their whereabouts Is
unknown.
The career of John" Is an inter-
estlng one. When young man he
enlisted In the United States navy
from his home state, Maryland. He
saw service aboard several of the
large battleships. II was his fortune
to be present In Washington when one
of the greatest American catastrophes
occurred, the assassination of Presi-
dent Lincoln. The night of the trag-
edy he was on shore leave and was
walking In front OF the Ford theater
at the moment Booth fired the fatal
shot Later he left the navy and
came to Green Camp For the past
thirty years he has been resident Of
this city. For several years he has
been janitor of the opera house block,
and the tinsel of the stage and glow
OF the calcium light failed to thrill
him, for he knew the mysterious
realms behind the scenes. The small
boy of gallery procliv!ues knew him
well, and some OF the older patrons
have come to regard him as a material
part of the Grand. The deceased was
a member of the odd Fellows and Red
Men lodges.

ENTHUSIASM WAVES.
Fight Against High Prices Settles
Down to Endurance Contest.

New York. Feb. s.-With extreme
cold weather tending to drive quota
tons up. and the first wave of enthusi-
ttsna in the crusade against high food
prices receding, the campaign in met
ropolitan territory settled down today
to something like an endurance con-
test.
The week opened, however, with pros
poets of trouble for the combines al
legged to be illegally keeping up rates
for necessaries of life through misuse
of cold storage and other means.
New York and New Jersey renewed
activities in the campaign. Attorney
General O'Mallory of New York state, is
credited with the intention to invoke
an old injunction against the packing
companies, granted in the supreme
court in 1902 and forbidding them from
fixing meat prices and preventing COM
petition by agreement as to rates and
supply. Reg1lative ordinances intro
duced IN the New York board of alder
men and aimed particularly at cold
storage evils are to be pressed for pass
age. In New Jersey, the Hudson coun-
ty grand jury today continued it's in
quiry into the business of the great
storage warehouses OF Jersey City.

At last, The Soul Kiss, But what it
is and why, can any who saw it say
There was indeed, very good look
ing man, who kissed a number of
women introduced to him by Mephis-
to as his most alluring specimens and
the man was evidently searching dill
gently for the soul kiss-but did not
find it. From there, there was moth
ing doing in the kissing business until
the finale when Mephisto himself fell
in love, took very slight sip from a
pair of girlish lips. and casually re-
marked, tAh ha, The Soul Kiss!''
That was the mere hint of unity in
the action of the play, but even in
so loose thing as that how the He
brew Soloman Skevensky broke in is
mystery. The best guess is that he
was the comedian. He might have
been a good one if he had been fur
nished the lines.
But the man who saves the show,
or at least Keeps it affoat, is Ben
Grinell as Mephisto. In his supreme
effort as an old actor reciting, There
We're Actors Then" he created per-
haps the only thrill of real apprecia-
ton during the performance. OF
course, however, it is expected of the
featured dancer to be the feature of
the show. She is the Mile. Pertina
There is not the remotest doubt that
she can dance. but most Americans
have not the Partisan love for grace
alone.
Yet there is this to say for the Soul
Kiss company. 1t included, a half
dozen dancers, any one of whom
could carry the burden featured in
the average musical show. In addi-
ton it included the entirely beautiful
Miss Constance Farmar, who could
sing, and Miss Eva Null, a clever lit
tie singer who got the very most out
of the stuff she had been handed to
make something of.
The poodle dog chorus, which
had sent it's card ahead proved not
the artistic success claimed. The old
pony ballet and other freaks of Choir
us creations will never let the poodles
in the front yard
Among the many other things
wherein the Soul Kiss failed it's repu-
tation was in being naughty-that is,
it wasn't so very immoral. At any
rate the Topeka police let it get by
and the Topeka police are not shirk-
ing their opportunities of raiding the
Grand's dressing rooms.
