CHORUS Kidding
IS THE FEATURE
CAST:

Too MANY Wives, al TIC Liberty
Theater this week. furnishes an even
ing Of riotous fun built ON a series of
mix-ups in which son and his father
are the chief figures, the father OBJ
jecting to his sons marriage.
The feature Of the show is a kid
ding stunt" that Raymond Teal pulls
off with himself as the kidder and the
chorus girls as the "kiddees." Betsy
Bolivar" is the catchy song being sung
at the time, and Mr.. Teal brings the
girls to the front of the stage individ-
ually and commands them to sing. The
righteousness of the thing lies in the
fact that most of the girls either are
struck speechless or turn loose with
a volume of sound that doesn't re-
motely resemble singing. They were
called back six or eight times.
Although the fun is boisterous. the
comedy is clean and only once or
twice is there q shade Of oversugges-
tiveness. One song dealing with a
man with four wives might be elm
mated without any loss to the show.
The bill will be on tonight and to-
morrow night, and new musical COM
edy will be the program for the week
end.

in Honolulu with all out of doors for
a playground, and who have been free
to come and go at any time unmo-
Tested, hardly know how to meet this
new condition that il confronting
them. The saying in Honolulu used
to be that women we're as safe on the
streets as they were at home. Then
when the soldiers were brought here
some fear was expressed as to their
possible conduct, but in conversation

do with the settlement and settlement

wear Uncle Sans uniform are for the
most part gentlemen, and it is only
when they are intoxicated that they
forget themselves. 1t is the new and
undesirable element that has never
before found it's way to Honolulu that
is feared by the girls. Sometimes the
manner in which the young women
are gowned is the, cause OF undesirable
attention, but such was not the case
with the two girls mentioned above,
for there was absolutely nothing in
their personal appearance to warrant

1t is now possible to walk over the
so-called tidelands on the exposition
site at Harbor View by reason of the
filling in of seventy-one acres ex-
tending from the foot of Webster
street as far west as the Fulton Iron
Works. Ever since April 18th the
giant dredge John McMulIen" of the
San Francisco Bridge Company has
been pumping mud from the bay on
to the site. The water has been ffow-
ing back into the bay, leaving the res
idue, and this is now packed very
firmly. The dredge Oakland" is also
assisting in this work of filling in and
it is expected that within sixty days
the ground will be ready for building
purposes. When the work of starting
the fill was inaugurated some months
ago there was an expanse of water
twelve to sixteen feet in depth, and
this has been forced out by the fill.

"oF PRESIDENTIAL SIZE"
That Is Ex-Mayor Burke's Estimate of
Gov. Eugene N. Foss.

Burlington. Jan. 8 Gov. Eugene N.
Foss has demonstrated beyond doubt
that he is of presidential size. and be-
cause of his known views on nation
al issues. especially on the tariff ques-
ton. which no doubt will be the para
mount sue before the people and be-
cause Of the fact that he is a Vermont
er by birth, / believe the Democracy
OF Vermont will honor Gov. Foss by Civ
ing him its loyal support. Personally,
from national standpoint and in view
Of the fact that Gov. Foss is a con-
servative progressive I believe him to
be the man of the hour"
This is the view expressed by ex-
Mayor James f. Burke, one Of Burling
tons most radical Democrats and a man
well versed in state and national pol
itics.
Thomas Magner, another prominent
Democrat, said he had not studied the
situation sufficiently to make an intel
ligent prediction, but he was inclined to
doubt that the New England delegation
could be united for Foss.

TWO DENTISTS JOIN EFFORTS.
Drs. Watt and Hudson Form Corporation
Under Laws of Vermont.

In order to increase the efficiency of
their service and to afford closer per-
sonal attention to their patients, two
we'll known Barre dentists, DR.. ID. c.
Watt and DR.. +. W. Hudson, have joined
their Offices under the name of the Watt
Hudson Co.. Dentists, inc. The company
has Just been incorporated under the
laws of Vermont and is, probably, the
first of its kind in the state.
The consolidation in the physical sense
is about to be accomplished in the join
ing Of their dental offices on the second
floor. front. OF the Miles granite building
on North Main street. This will be done
bv cutting doorway through single
wall. as the offices adjoin. This change
will give the new company seven rooms,
two of which are waiting-rooms; and foe
the present this arrangement will be
continued The operating-rooms will be
kept as formerly, and the change will
make no difference to the individual pa
tients. as each will be attended to as in
the past. Other changes and additions
are contemplated at later date.
Drs. Watt and Hudson are both well
established dentists and each has large
clientele. DIR. Watt, on graduating from
the Philadelphia Dental college eight
years ago, at once located in Barre and
has been here ever since. DIR. Hudson
is a Vermonter, who praeticed first in
Brandon and then went to Springfield,
Mass. where he was located eighteen
years. until two years ago, when he
came to Barre. The association of these
two men will make a strong team, and
the Watt Hudson Co., inc, therefore will
be in a position to give its patrons the
benefits of the associated service.

NEW LEASE OF LIFE
For Chinese Throne Is the Impression in
Peking Now.

Peking, Jan. 3.-The feeling in Peking
IS that the throne has taken new lease
of life. Indeed. there are some compe'
tent observers who believe that Premier
Yuan Shi Kai still possesses the de-
termination that he can yet succeed iii
preventing the consummation of re-
public.
The imperial cabinet has accepted the
resignation of Tang Shao vi, who was
sent to Shanghai as the representative of
Premier Yuan Shi Kai, and the imperi-
alists at the peace conference between
the representatives of both parties there.
The government has also telegraphed to
DIR. Wu Ting Fang, the leader of the
revolutionaries at the peace conference,
stating that in the future it will negoti-
ate Geographically. The government is
of the opinion that Tang Shao vi went
beyond his instructions when he signed
the agreement as to the calling of the
national convention to decide on the fu-
ture form of government of China with
DIR. WI Ting Fang.
Premier Yuan Shi Kai adheres to the
two points of his original suggestion re-
garding this national convention, namely
that he insists on the proper election
of delegates to the national assembly,
and also that its gathering place shall
be Peking.
Premier Yuan Shi Kai again offered
his resignation yesterday, but it was
not accepted. The court also received h
round robin from the generals command
ing the imperial troops in the vicinity %
Peking, in which they demanded that the
princes of the imperial clan should with
draw their wealth from the safety of the
foreign banks, where much of it has been
placed quite recently, and deliver it into
The hands of the war office.
Prince Ching, the former premier and
foreign minister. received letter YES
terday on behalf of the Manchu troops
in the vicinity of Peking, threatening
20 destroy his palace unless it was deliv-
cred over to them.
