Western Drama Wins
Applause At Academy

Again the Western drama, conspicu-
ously absent for the last two or three
weeks at the Academy. brought thrills
to the audience, in the play "As the
Sun Went Down." with its stirring
scenes laid in the mountains of Cali
fornia.
The opening scene is in the saloon of
the hotel, The Miners Paradise" in
which all the actors are introduced. The
reformed bad woman, the unreformei
bad man, and the long-lost brother all
play important roles in the drama.
"Pizen Ike" and ''Tarentula" are the
joint villains and spend their time max
ing futile attempts to gain possession
of a valuable mine accidentally dis
covered by Gerald Morton, a stranded
actor, who has taken up prospecting
while waiting for a booking. Morton's
wife, however, is in the power of
"Tarantula" through his possession of
"the papers with which 'he seeks to
work her downfall. "Pizen Ike" and
"Tarantula" manage to raise a pretty
fair row before the end of the last
act, but the final curtain sees them put
where they will harass tenderfoot mi
ners no more.
The cast was we'll balanced, and the
play met with favor. Estha Williams,
as Colonel Billy, and lido Werner as
Sal Sue, received applause at every
appearance. Ezra w. Graham, as Rev.
as Colonel Billy. and Ida Werner as
Faro BILL" hero and long-lost brother
of the D. D., were successful. Fred

REFORMA1ORY SITE
DISTRICT ELEPHANT
House Action to Shield Mt.
Vernon Creates a New
Problem.

By refusing an appropriation for a
reformatory on the Belvoir site, near
Mt Vernon, the House has left the
District Commissioners with an elephant
on its hands.
Following condemnation proceedings,
the Commissioners recently deposited in
the United States court In Alexandria
$4,000. in payment for the site, 5000 Of
which was refunded because Of a pre-
vious agreement with owners of the
land. The District therefore owns 1900
acres for which It has no present need
Engineer Commissioner Judson, of the
site commission.
THE House recognized the sentiment
all over the country against the use
Of the site purchased for the reforma-
tory, which is only three miles from Mt.
Vernon.
! THE Carlin resolution passed by that
body creates an area Of 3l4 square miles
centering at Mt. Vernon, within which
none Of the money appropriated in the
present bill can be used for a reforma-
tory. The bill leaves US without pro-
vision for a new reformatory site, and
without funds to establish the institu-
ton, whereas the amount of money ap-
propriated for the workhouse is much
more than is required
BY 112 to 42 the House went on rec
ord as opposing the site, and added
the restriction that no penal institution
other than the workhouse at Occoquar,
be located within ten miles of Mt. Ver-
non.
The fight was led by Representative
Carlin of Virginia on behalf OF the Mt.
Vernon Ladies' Association.

PLAY Of SUBURBS
BACK AT NATIONAL
THE Commuters" Improves
on Return-Change in
Cast Beneficial.

THE Commuters" written by James
Forbes, now accredited with three sue
cesses, returned to the National last
night and greeted number of old
friends Some of these lived in town,
other commuted and came in from The
end of the car lines. but they all en-
Dyed the play.
AS its ndme implies, The Commu-
ters'' is a story of alarm clocks. late
and early trains, striking servant girls
and dinnerless homes. The predrml-
nant theme centers about the troubles
of a young married couple who take
house in the country, only to have
the husband decide to spend many
nights in town. Other married couples
are drawn into the plot also, and there's
suffragette meeting or so to lend
spice to the suburban happenings
OF course. in the end, everybody goes
back to Broadway. harboring a deep
grudge against anything that resembles
blade of grass or a windmill.
More clever lines have been added
since the play was seen here last, and
the cast this season is as good, If not
better, than formerly.
Taylor Holmes, the original Sammy
Fletcher, Is still manufacturing laughs
Lowell Sherman, who plays Larry
Brice. is the commuter that stirs up all
the trouble, and. he is, perhaps, bet
ter suited to the role than was Orrin
Johnson. In other words. Holmes can
make himself look and act like a COM
muter who'd rather stay in tawn than
catch a late train out. Eda Phillips
plays acceptably the part OF Hettie
Brice, who gets even with her errant
husband in the end. The work of
GeCrgie Laurence, as Carrie, the un-
certain servant girl, was good. and
caused many a langh, together with
such remarks as Just as NATURAL" out
front. Other principal roles were well
handled by John Cumberland, Mrs.
Pauline Duffield, Maude knowlton, Amy
Lesser, and Lillian Thurgate.

CASINO-George Primrose.

Though the years have added a few
wrinkles to the face OF that old king of
minstrels. George Primrose, they have
robbed his nimble feet of none OF their
agility. A large crowd greeted him and
his two boys at the opening of the Ca
sino Theater anniversary week yester-
day afternoon and evening.

the turns and fancy walks are all as
inimitable and graceful as ever. Rutan

HONEY BOY SHOW
HIT AS OF YORE
Evans Minstrels Lose None
of Popularity-Jim Cor
bett in Blackface.

George Evans Honey Boy Minstrels
returned to the Columbia last night for
its annual Washington engagement. and
the capacity audience testified to the
! fact that the popularity of this agere-
cation is not OH the wane. The per-
formance is pretty much the same as
that OF f1mer years minus a few
I familiar faces, but plus a number of
/ new features
! The Honey Boy himself, with the ever
present cigar and his trousers ''cut
from the same pattern as the elbow Of
/ a stove pipe" gives the monolOgue so
we'll remembered. which, by the way,
has been touched up until it is more
laughable than ever. AS an added
stellar attraction, James ]. Corbett,
erstwhile star of the padded ring and
heavyweight champion of the world, Is
presented.
Corbett In Blackface.
Corbett's first appearance is in black
face, as one of the interlocutors, and as
an exception to the usual order of things
when celebrities of his ilk> appear on
the stage. he "makes good" His stellar
performance. however is his mono
logue, in which he takes the public into
his confidence, the men in the audi
ence, at least, and tells them why
Jeffries failed to come back. 1t is an
interesting talk, and Gentleman Jim"
gives it in an easy, natural sort of
way that makes one think 1t i'm
promptu.
There is no dearth of melodies nor
time -honored end mems jokes, and real
minstrel dancing, of the soft shoe va
riety, is seen. Such black-face stars
and song birds as Vaughn Comfort,
John King, Matt keefe. James Meehan.
Clarence Marks, Tom Kane. and Sam
Lee take part in the regular old-time
minstrel opening, the setting of which
is The Crimson Trellis."
Scenes From Blackville.
Honey Boy himself follows the open
ing with his monologue, and then
comes Scenes From Blackville.
Mr.. Corbett is next introduced, and
THE Firemen's Picnic" concludes the
performance
From the comments overheard. the
greater part of last nights audience
had seen the performance before, but
II is a favorable commentary upon the
merits of the entertainment that the
"repeaters" laughed more heartily and
seemed to erjoy themselves even more
thoroughly than did those who got their
first taste last night.

In Addition to 700 MHitiamen Assem-

Two Troops of CavaI-

LESS THAN 8 WEEKS
Members Of Company L are Looking
Forward to Ten Days of Pleas
ant Outing With Their
Comrades.
LESS THAN 3 WEEKS

Three weeks from yesterday the
members of Co. L will be compelled
to rise early to get ready for the
trip to Ottumwa, where they will go
into camp for ten days. The boys are
looking forward with much pleasure
to the coming annual encampment as
every company in the regiment has
been assigned to some special man
euver, and there Is much interest in
the event among the members of the
twelve companies of the regiment
In addition to the 700 militiamen to
assemble in Ottumwa at that time,
there will be two troops Of cavalry
from Fort Des Moines and machine
gun platoon.
The company now has about sixty
active enlisted members. The an
nual camp appeals to the new mem
Der, because it will give him each
summer a free outing-ten days lie
in the open; sleeping in a tent, eat
ing good substantial, well-cooked
food, with just enough healthy manual
labor to make him enjoy to the ut
most his food and sleep. Because it
will teach him self-reliance; to take
care of himself under any and all
circumstances. 1t will teach him the
elemental laws of hygiene---how to
keep his health good under adverse
circumstances-how to eat, cook, and
sleep in the field-how to make his
own way in the world. For this he
will receive from slips to $500 per
day in addition to his transportation
and subsistence.
The saith regiment band will fur
nish plenty of music during the en-
campment, and for the evening con
certs will have from fifty to sixty
members, as Ottumwa is the home of
this organization.

gear and the brakes falling to work
properly when the car was going up
the second incline on the drive be-
tween Indian Mounds and South park,
says the Quincy Journal.
Mr.. Richards and the other mem
bers of the party came to Quincy yes
terday from Keokuk and were max
ing a tour Of several of the parks.
They had just entered the driveway
and had started up the incline west
of Eighth street when Mr.. Richards,
who was driving the machine, at
tempted to put on the brakes, but for
some reason they failed to respond
and the car skidded over the en-
bankment and was just saved from
going entirely over by one wheel. He
jumped from the machine and his
little daughter also jumped. The lat
ter was caught in her fathers arms
and probably saved from falling
down the long slope. The rest OF the
party kept their seats, too frightened
to move, or make any attempt to save
themselves.
Several men from the Kurz Ma
chine company went out to the scene
of the accident and after working un
til nearly II o'clock last night sue
ceeded in getting the car back to
,svel ground. The car being in such
a perilous position, could not be
banded with any speed, but had to

from turning over and rolling down

return trip Monday morning about
$50 o'clock, all greatly shaken up
over their experience, but thankful
that it was no worse.

perusing the latest issue of the De-

the photographs Of every criminal un-
der arrest in the country since the

Chief Schevers was attracted by a
picture of man under arrest in st.
Joseph for forgery. There was so
great resemblance to the picture Of
Mathieson in the clerks desk as TO
leave little doubt that he was the
man.
Immediately negotiations were be.
gun with Chief Charles H. Haskell,
of ST Joseph and today Chief Schev-
ers sent a telegram telling Of the
scar in Mathieson's side where he
was operated on for appendicitis. A
