AT THE oRPHEUM.

The bill at the Orpheum this week
is attracting large audiences and the
people are being astounded at the
thought transmission stunt of Madame
Gertrude. This lady Is one Of the best
ever appearing in an act Of this kind
at a local playhouse and the people
present last night were mystified at
the ease with which she answered
questions written on slips of paper and
held in the hands of various persons
in the audience She not only read
the questions but she gave the names
of the persons and described their APP
pearance and the clothing they wore
while she was blindfolded and covered
with q thick covering. Anna Eva Fay
and other mind readers OF world wide
reputation have appeared in a similar
acr but none OF them were the SUI
perior of the act Of Madame Cert
ru6e. The remainder of the bill was
good and the audience seemed to APP
preciate the numbers of Becker &
Grant in the rapid fire talk fest called
the oyster Stew, Miss Mabelle God
frey did very clever dance and also
had some fun with the spot light and
mirror Gerald & George did a neat
dance at the end OF their talking bin
turn which pleased. The pictures were
good and the entire bill was good
one. The same bill until Thursday
and all students of the mysterious
should take advantage OF the oppor-
tunity to see Madame Gertrude per-
form her wonderful feats.

SONS Of INDIANA
FAVOR JACKSON
Here to Ask Appointment
of Candidate AS Ser
geant-at Arms.

Fifty prominent Indiana Democrats
arrived in Washington at 2:4O this after
noon to urge the appointment Of U. s.
Jackson, Democratic State chairman Of
Indiana, as sergeant-at-arms Of the
next House of Representatives.
Many of the delegation are State Off
cials who rode into office through Mr..
Jackson's generalshlp. He has been
elections the State has gone Demo-
cratic. 1t is now entirely Democratic
with the exception of one Congress
sional district. Indiana is the only
Northern State that will have two Dem
ocratic Senators after March 4.
Mr.. Jackson has declined several
State appointments. When j. 1t was
learned that he would like to come to
Washington, the Democracy of the State
rallied to his support. First, the DEM
ocratic members Of Congress indorsed
him. Then came the Endorsement OF
scores of clubs and all the committees
of the party in the State.
Each member of the party Is paying
his own expenses. Headquarters will
be Congress Hall.
Notable figures in the party are John
W. Kern, late Democratic candidate for
Vice President, who will be elected Sen
ator January II to succeed Mr.. Bev-
eridge, and Thomas Taggart, national
committeeman. Among others are Lew
G. Ellingham, secretary of state;
William H. O'Brien, auditor of state;
Thomas Honan, attorney general;
Charles GreathOuse, superintendent Of

OMAR IS INVITED
TO CAPITAL CAFE
Washington Restaurateur
Evidently Thinks Awaiting
Equine" Human Being.

To all whom 1t may concern. Omar
'Khayyam," of the Royal & Adams in
door circus is a horse. not a human
being.
There's a Washington restaurateur
(not to- mention any names), who evil
IDENTIFY is laboring under the impression
that Omar" is a man with a fixed
habit of eating after-theater dinners.
When w. P. English, the circus mail
man, went to the postoffice and col
lected the bushel or more of mail direct
ed to various Of the Royal & Adams
performers, that has been accommodating
here for week or more, he found one
letter addressed to Omar"
Now, Omar" be 1t known, Is the
great and only awaiting equine" who
ascends in an airship at each and every
performance. English was curious to
know what the letter contained. So he
hastened to Rhoda Royal with the let
ter. Since Omar" is one of the chat
tells Of Mr.. Royal, Mr.. Royal took the
letter without saying aye, yes or no to
Omar" about 1t.
Wants 0mar's Trade.
And what do you suppose that letter
was about. Some cafe man in WASH
hoAB VIM CopCSldly " lhC
midnight crowds. sent one of his circu-
lar letters extolling the merits of his
cuisine and hoping that omar" would
drop in some evening after the show
and find out for himself.
Now, although Omar is one of the
aristocrats of the equine world, a blue
blood among horses, he still retains the
old, primordial fondness for hay and
oats. 1t is pretty safe to say that
Omar aSfaH lOhOtar Nan-
burg in his life, and doubtless he would
turn up his nose at 1t II a plate of it
were put up to him to eat. Nor does
Omar" feast on coffee and sinkers or
ham-and for breakfast. He prefers
bran mash.
For dinner Omar" likes more bran
mash, and oats and hay. He also likes
Kentucky blue grass.
Plebeian as to Fare.
So, although Omar is a high-brow
among horses, he is still plebeian in the
matter Of foodstuffs and adheres strict
ly to the simple life. 1t will be useless
business from him.
Twice each day Omar" rides up in a
"lighter-than-air" craft, and when the
highest point in the hall is reached
there bursts forth on all sides Of him
blindingly brilliant display Of fire.
works, which sets the audience to ap-
plauding wildly. And Omar" stands
calmly bowling right and left in recog-
milton OF the aforesaid applause.
The circus got to town yesterday
afternoon and is now already for the
opening performance tonight. Begin
ming tomorrow there will be matinees
daily. The circus has $50 professional
performers and $50 trained horses,
ponies, dogs, and mules.
Among the audience tonight will be a
delegation OF about 100 members of Lulu
Temple of the Mystic Shrine of Phila-
delphia, who will be escorted to Con-
vention Hall by the circus band and
the members of Almas Temples Arab
Patrol.

TRIAL BOARD.
REBUFFSARMSTRONG.
Policeman Fails to Get New
Testimony Before
Judges.

The police trial board this morning
refused to admit any new testimony
in the case Of Policeman George H.
Armstrong. convicted in the Police
Court on December 21, of an assault
on Williams w. Weaver, and an
nounced that they would merely re-
view the transcript Of the case on the
records of the Police Court and deliv-
er their final verdict within a few
days.
Michael Mangan, attorney for Arm
strong, attempted to introduce a large
amount of new testimony, but he was
overruled by the board, which declined
to consider anything but specifica tion
two of teh charge. which stated that
Armstrong had been tried and convicted
on December q, and that the witness
acknowledged that he was the George
H. Armstrong referred to In the specifi-
cations.
1t is expected that the final decision
of the board, which will either dismiss
or retain Armstrong on the force, will
be made within forty-eight hours.
