Now, however, the genius of the drama has turned the tables by
presenting the suffragette MS u vaudeville feature. The innovation
has not been well received in equal suffrage circles. An attempt
was made to stop one performance of the kind last week, and it
is announced there will be further interferences if the performance
is repeated.
Tt will be well for women who are seriously interested IN the
equal suffrage movement to warn their tempestuous sisters that
in all politics it is a necessary to know how to stand criticism as
to give it. The suhragettes of Great Britain have injured rather than
helped their cause by the violence of their tactics.

I1ussen-Ketchel Match Unique in Length of Time With out a Fall Says
 Authority
CHICAGO TRIBUNE ANSWERS

If tnere is a wrestling match on record that went longer than the Hussen- -Ketchel match at Tombstone the sporting editor of the Chicago Tribune, who is regarded as the high est authority on sports in this coun- try. has no knowledge or it.
 Int official time of the Hussen- Ketchel match was hours. but there is no doubt that the official was wrong in the time. The discrepancy of time was discovered early in the match by Bisbee fans, several of whom counted time during the re mainder of the match. The Review representative counted the time as 2 hours and 19 minutes, but when the match first started he counted it somewhat roughly for his own benefit, dependin9 upon the official for the correct time in minutes and seconds. Taking the longest unofficial time counted, the match went 9 hours and % minutes, which so far as known is the longest match on record with no fall
 In answer to a wire from The Re view the Chicago Tribune sporting ed itor said he knew of no longer match, although not having the complete time records required to answer the question as certainty.

Joe Doris has signed up to meet Trooper Minnie of Troop !. Sixth cav airy, on the mat at the Royal theater Saturday night at 10 o'clock, after the second show. No side bet has been placed yet, but Doris will cover any amount of money that the troop CT brings along with him.
 Minnie was in the city several days ago and weighed in at the Y. NJ. C. 4. gymnasium at 135 1-z pounds. Dor ris' normal weight Is 135. So the two men will be evenly matched as 10 weight. Nothing is known here as to Minnies past performances, but he sizes up pretty good to the eye.

 The articles of agreement for the Dorris-Rivers match, to be wrestled here on the nlght/of July 3l. have been signed up. Billy Guhn will ref cree the match. The amount of the side bet has not been agreed upon, but the Bisbee man will make any limit set by the Tucson man. Tomb stone fans are deeply interested in the match and it is likely that a good sized crowd from the county seat will be here to see the match.
 The stage at the Royal has been en. larged since the GrOw-Saunders match.
