great Chicago marvel, Mordecai

league meeting said he had no

There will be no holiday prize

result of action taken by the city
commissioners. They voted down
request for permit by the Sc

his record was good, winning two
pennants, finishing second one
year and third another.
Harry Steinfeldt, in Hawley's
opinion, is the greatest player
the game ever produced, an opin-
ion not shared by many players.
A hint for "Pink's" choice may
be found in the records of 1906,
when Steiny fielded .954 and bat
ted 1927 in $50 games, a record
unequaled in third base playing.

Hawley because he was a twin.
As boys the twins formed a bat

To visitors from the interior of the United States to the coast there is no more facinating experience than to watch the big battleships of Uncle Sam's navy go through even their regular work, to mention nothing of the special stunts such as firing practice, battle practice and signal drill. Many persons in the interior have but little opportunity to see these things. Realizing this Manager Mullen of the WigWam has procured a feature film from the Edison peo- pie that gives an absolutely true picture of the life of the sailors The title of this film is Ten days with a fleet of U. & battleships" The pie lures are taken of life on the new dreadnaught Minnesota.

THE EMPRESS.

"The Man on the Box is the story of a young man who is a practical joker. He refuses to attend the Elm bassy ball in Washington with his family because he has conceived clever joke which he wishes to play on his sister Nancy. Imbued with the idea of giving her a rare fright. he bribed the coachman to lend him his livery and allow him to drive Nancy and her friend, Mrs Conway, home from the dance In the confusion of the departure of the carriages and the loud calling of the number of the ve- hicles. he mistakes his number 71 for r and jumps on the box just as two ladies enter the brougham. The joker Robert Warburton drives off down the avenue at rare pace, causing the Oc- cupants of the carriage to call out for help, they are at once followed by two mounted policemen and when the equi- page stops at the door and Robert snatches a kiss from his sister as he supposes, he is nabbed by the officers. The next morning in the police court his friend Charlie Henderson. a re- porter comes to his rescue; the young
 
 pays his fine as he has no money with him. She accomplishes this act after he has been returned to his cell and leaves a note asking him to take the place of her groom Saunders who has just left Robert is so interested in her that he accepts the position and from then on his troubles begin for Betty AnHesley for whom he works, suspects he is not a servant and tan talizes him to her hearts content be- ing something of a joker herself. Of course the tale ends in happiness for everybody but before this happens much amusement is caused in the scene in the police court and at the dinner party where Robert or James Osborn as he is called, takes the place of the butler who is conveniently sick, as a flavor to Miss Betty"
 The chief characters in the play have already been commented on in these columns and it is only fair to speak of the excellent work of some of the less important performers. Frank Buttolph as Henderson the reporter, friend of Robert and fiance of Nancy, has a role in which he appears to ad- vantage He has a number of clever lines and is able to get them across. Chas.

Another Patient Wanders Away From the Asylum, Walking to City in Stock ing Feet; His Escape Un- noticed at Institution

Minus coat, hat and shoes, Conrad hospital for the insane, was picked up on Adams street between four and five o'clock yesterday morning by the night watchman at the Hotel Adams who turned him over to the night po- lice.
 He had walked the entire distance of more than three miles in his stocking
 feet and was footsOre and tired when
 taken to the city jail. Six hours later
 he was given into the charge of an at
 tache of the asylum and returned to that institution
 Wills was committed to the asylum early last spring. He lived Tn Tucson and was engaged there in the second hand business. His mental irrespon- sibility was generally attributed by those who knew him in Tucson to the use of narcotics or liquor. He was l sent to the asylum for safe keeping, as well as treatment.

 the screens which are placed over the
 window openings of that building. His
 escape was not noted and his absence from the institution was unreported until notification was telephOned to the 1 institution that the police had the man | in custody.
 When Wills was picked up he told | Nightwatchman Ben Blakely that he | had been sleeping at the fire engine l house for two or three hours and that | he was then seeking the police judge 1 lust why he was anxious to see the magistrate he did not state.

William A. Brady will produce Ma

Louisa NJ. Alcott's Little Women" at
the Burtis, Davenport, matinee and
night, Thursday. For the first three
acts of the play a replica of the
Bronson Alcott sitting room in Con-
cord has been used, every detail COM
Grandpa Alcott always insisted upon
having on the living room table 1t
was in this room that the story of
Little Women" was lived. What more
fitting than to use it for the stage pic
ture? For the fourth act the Plumf1eld
apple orchard is shown in all the gol-
den glory of an October afternoon, a
veritable harvest home, in which is
brought to happy fulfillment the ro-
nance of the Alcott family. The AL
colts have kept through all these
years many of the identical costumes
and properties used by the Alcott
girls for their homemade plays, and
these will be used in the production,
including JOS boots, which she got
from a lady friend who knew an
actor" Louisa Alcott in the book
really tells the story of her own home
life. Meg was her elder sister; Anna,
she, herself, was the original of 10;
Elizabeth Alcott, whose early death
cast heavy shadow over Louisa AL
colt, was Beth, and Amy March OF
the book was May Alcott. All the
principal incidents of the story will
be found in the dramatic version.
