MILES. -
A bffi-of pleasant surprises Is oner-
ed by the management OF the Miles
theater this week. Not the least oil
these Is the presence OF n marvellous
young fiddler known merely as Nio-
linsky. lie plays with master stroke
that brings out tones one would never
suspect were hidden In the sounding
box of his violin. His performance
becomes more and more wonderful as
il proceeds. Presently one hears him
playing three melodies at the same
time on the piano and, to cap the eli
max, he plays the violin and piano
together. fastening the bow 10 his leg
and holding the violin in his left hand,
while he plays the piano with his
right. This young artists reception,
Monday, was little short of an ovation.
Another act that received its full
share of applause was that of Fred
erick V. Bowers and company, the
company being charming young wo-
man who knows how 10 dance and
who dresses becomingly. a pair Of
pickaninnies and a pianist who can
certainly tickle the worries. The
dancer is Miss Lillian Frederick and
the pianist, Felix G. Rice. Mr.. Bow
ers. who wrote Because" and al
ways" and several other love ballads
that enjoyed great vogue few
years back, has a pleasing way about
him and way of singing his OWL
songs that lends distinct charm te
the act. There are several changes
of scenery during It's progress.
Then there is Andy Rice, character
entertainer. whose Hebrew parodies
which he half sings and half talks. are
strictly up-to-date and clean. withal
Rice made a big hit with Mondays
audiences and they recalled him time
and again.
Hal Davis and company. one OF the
best known organizations in vaude
vile, are scheduled for the playle
| this week. and are expected 10 oper
Tuesday afternoon.
The Great Harrahs open the show

WaHe,son Makes
Thrust Al Roosevelt

LOUISVILLE. KY, Feb. 27.--In an
editorial, In the Courier Journal,
Henry Watterson refers to Roose-
yeltB announcement as follows:
Theodore Roosevelt Is now for
mally announced candidate for the
presidency. His letter vowing that
fact is an answer to one sent TO him
by seven governors, two weeks ago,
urging that ne should declare wheth-
er II the nomination came to him "un-
solicited aud unsought," he would
accept IL. His reply is: II will accept
the Nomination for president IL 1t is
rendered to me and / will adhere to
this decision until the convention
has expressed IT'S preference"
prise many intelligent people for
there are not many left who have not
believed for months that he Monld
accept another nomination IL he could
get It. Certainly since he had the
policy Of silence In answer TO all in.
quiries whether he would accept
there has been no room for doubt on
that point.
There may be a few whom his now
proclaimed decision will shock, but
those few could never have realized
the true character OF the man. One
who broke every precedent and ira
dition OF his Office while he was in
the white house-and broke one al
moss every day-can only be eager 10
break the third term tradition, about
tie only one he has not yet broken
II would cap his insatiate ambition
TO be recorded in history as the frs
man bold enough to brush aside tha
tradition and soize the presidency
4 for q third term.

There is everything from dog cir

The governor, who is the most en-
tnusiastic Roosevelt shouter in New

fidence when he reached the colonel
and declared he had no doubt that
ne former president would have the
Enthusiastic support OF his state. he

Roosevelt seemed well pleased
With the reception he has received
srona the Massachusetts, leaders, and
With the widespread circulation OF
his declaration that, even If not nom
hated, he will support the nominee
OF the Chicago convention. This lat
ter statement Is decidedly at yari-
ance with the position taken by some
OF his supporters who insist II the
Taft forces control the convention
and write the platform along the
lines favored by the president. then
the colonel will publicly announce he
cannot support the ticket.
Outside OF his conference with Gov,
Bass, IL was stated the colonel would
meet no politicians or transact any
political business today.
In a speech to the Massachusetts
house of representatives yesterday

Just what he meant by his utter

Nention at Columbus last week.

should stop the habit of judges nulli-
flying laws that have been passed in

Col. Roosevelt said he did not ad-
yocate the recall of judges SO much

system which surround them.

Railroad "Craft" in Russia.

Coming across Siberia on the rail- road about the only diversion is playing cards" said traveller. -Four of us were having a game, of whist when we stopped at a station. A big bearded man in uniform entered and came up to us. He said there was a tax of 50 kopeks on playing cards in that town, and we would have to shell out. We did.
 At the next station the perform ance was repeated, and then at the next and so on, the tax varying ac- cording to the size of the place, from ten kopeks to two rubles. After two days it began to get tiresome. Final. ly one of the party said there ought to be some way to provide against this systematic holdup, and we ap preached the conductor of the train and presented him three rubles and pointed at the cards. Thereafter, al no matter what station we stopped we were never molested by one of the local officials looking for 'hisn.'
