THIRTY YEARS

Keno, Wash & Melrose Aver
That Public Does Not
Want All New Acts.

There are few acts that can claim the
record of long service that falls to the
lot of Keno. Walsh & Melroes. The
trio which opened an engagement at
the Orpheum yesterday afternoon has
been doing the present act for thirty
years. Two of the members of the
trio have been with it that length of
time. while the third has been part of
the firm for nearly a quarter of a CEN
ury
IF our experience is any criterion

yelling for novelties is proven a fall

vaudevillians to q TINES reporter this
morning. I'VE first offered this act in
the old days when vaudeville was varie-

priced family theatre.
Several years ago we listened to a
manager who told us that we should
change our act. We did and it fell
fiat. So we went back to the old stand

II for no other reason the forthcorn-

demonstrating that even the king of all

OUTLAWS for their amusements, beneath

laughing show that ever sported the
banner of Lew Fields, the great i'm

version takes place in one setting, much

that under our form of government

their sons perfected 1t, this nation has
enjoyed prosperity that has excited

example. In consequence, We have re-

our example closely. Germany has a
written constitution, and, in the
Reichstag, untrammeled parliamentary
representation for the people. while
such countries as Turkey, Persia and
China are all taking steps, as rapidly
as they can, to follow our example in
providing a form of government under
which men has been able to demon

WILSON'S
WARNING To
WALL STREET

New York, Dec. ELECT
Wilson served fiat notice to Wall
Street tonight at the annual dinner OF
the Southern Society that he will deal
summarily with any man or set of
men who under take TO upset the bust
ness interests of the country by pre-
cipipitating panic. The President
elect was talking about reports that
his assumption of the Office of Presi-
dent would disturb the business of the
country and cause panic.
IA panic, he continued, according
to the authorities, is condition of the
mind. AS matter of fact there is
just as mnch money the day after as
there was the day before. There is
another kind of panic that is precipit-
ated by unfriendly interests.
"If any man undertakes to precipi-
tate panic, promise him q gibbet
as high as Hannah. / don't mean q
literal gibbet, because there would
be no pain after it were applied, but /
will put upon him mark that will be
felt as long as there are members of his
family surviving"
Gov. Wilson urged his hearers to
forget they ever were partisans, declar-
ing that If they did not go away pur-
posing to put more force into the best
things in the nation, they had wasted
their evening
"You are patriotic in proportion as
you prefer the nation to yourself. We
cannot be jealous of the honor of the
nation unless we are jealous of our
own"
Referring to the hope of the politici-
ans in New jersey that the would soon
be rid of him, Gov. Wilson said:
'They forget that man can live in
Washington and know what is going
on in New Jersey A man in Wash
ington can say what he thinks about
things in New Jersey, and say it in the |
only way that is effectively mention
ing the names of the gentlemen con-
cerned.
~ have gone through a campaign in
which | have endeavored to speak of
things and not of persons, but wespeak
of parsons by implication when we
speak OF things. And the palmer we
make the implication the more effec-
tive we make the moral. Men must
now stand up and be counted and put
their names down on this side or that.
And l believe that as soon as men see
that this is business and not amuse-
ment there is going to be enthusiasm
for right things, which will result in
this amazing discovery: That all honor
and integrity and public purpose
breathe prosperity more than any other
things in the world.

SIMPLY OLD ENGLISH TONGUE
interesting Account Of the Origin of
What ls Known as the Irish
"Bronue."

Perhaps nothing illustrates better
the vicissitudes of pronunciation In
English than study of what Is called
the Irish brogue." This lingual mode.
for It is scarcely to be called a dia-
lect, is usually presumed to be a de-
terioration Of language due to lack Of
education and contact with legitimate
sources Of English. It proves after
little study to be a preservation of the
old method Of pronouncing English,
which has come down to a great de-
gree unchanged in Ireland from
Shakespeare's time.
In Elizabeth's time, however,it came
to be realized that If there was to be
any real aff1liation of the two coun-
tries, then the Irish language must be
supplanted by English, and a definite
effort in this direction was made. This
change Of speech, resented and resist
ed, was nevertheless successfully &C
complished all over the island, except
in the west, within a decade after
Shakespeare's death. This fact takes
on new significance when we study
what We now call the Irish brogue in
connection with what Is known to
have been the pronunciation of Eng
fish at that time. The two are found
to conform in practically every re-
spect. Irishmen pronounce English
as their forefathers learned 1t; and
have preserved its pronunciation be-
cause they have been away from the
main current Of English speech varia-
ton ever since.-James ]. Walsh,
LID, in Harper's Magazine.

London stops PiIlne Up.
