CADETS BEAT INDEPEN-
Saturday Nights Contest Was
Close and Interesting.

The first basket ball game of
the local season Saturday night
resulted in a victory for Went
worth over the Independence
high school by the score of %
to "a. AS the tally indicates, the
game was close and exciting all
the way.
The cadets started out in good.
shape and soon had a Lead of 6
to 2; but then the visitors showed
their superiority in team work
and in a short time took the
lead. At the end of the first
half the score was IA to 9 in
favor of Independence.
Between halves Coach RiStine
gave his proteges a good lecture,
so that they came back with re-
newed vigor. Several pretty
shots by Duke and Roberts ran
the cadets score up to 10 before
independence had registered a
point. Then the visitors again
got busy and tied the score. The
cadets soon registered three more
baskets, however, making the
count 25 to 19. Independence
then took the lead in aggressive
work and came within one point
Of tieing the score just before the
final whistle was blown.
The visitors excelled in team
work in mid-field and in shooting
while the cadets were superior in
guarding. The work Of Garzee
in the latter department was ex-
cellent.

"The Flower of the Ranch
Was Good.

"The Flower of the Ranch, "
tn first show produced in the
opera house since Z. w. Wright
took charge of it, was a pro-
nounced success in every way
except box office receipts. The
crowd was not what it should
have been.
The piece is a well-known
musical comedy by Joseph How
ard the one in which he and Ma
bel Barrison starred for several
seasons. 1t is made up along.
established lines as to plot, ac-
tion, stage setting and music,
and so with efficient stage man
agement it is bound to please.
The songs are of the Howard
type, reminiscent and tuneful
the characters are the indispen-
sable william, the pretty and naive
heroine; the hero who is pro
vokingly slow about making love
the COW boys who wear their
handerchiefs loosely around
their necks according to popular
stage traditions.
Everyone knew that the show
would be good, but the company
was a most pleasing surprise
Every part was admirably hand
led, though two of the principals,
Miss de NOrd and Mr.. Lynch,
were suffering with colds. Miss
Betty Caldwell as Flower was
all that could be desired. jess
Harris as Skivers was the big
comedy hit of the show. He had
the audience with him all the
time and brought out ripples and
roars of laughter. Tom Arnold,
too, who had the lead, was able
to meet the requirements.
One of the pleasing features
was the conducting of Omer Her
bert who presided at the piano
He ran the musical end in fine
styl9 with the assistance oi tax
company's trap drummer and
the local orchestra. Several Of
the mterpolated numbers were Of
his composition.
Altogether the show was graf
flying, and Mr.. Wright is to be
congratulated on his good start

A Good Lecture.

The lecture by Thomas Brooks
Fletcher on ;'The Martyrdom Of
Fools" was presented in Murrell
auditorium Friday evening as
the second number of the Central
Wentworth lecture course. Both
schools were present in force
and there was also a large at
tendance from town. The lee
ture was splendid. Mr.. Fletcher
has a remarkable delivery and
presents his thoughts in a clear
cut fashion. His velocity is
something wonderful.
So far the lecture course this
year has more than fulfilled ex-
pectations. The remaining mum

A Wolf Stole Some Mules.

Because his name is Wolf and
for that reason thinks he has a
right to steal, or because he likes
the board at the jail too well to
stay away, John Wolf negro
character of not too good a rep
utation, is at present gazing
through the icy bars of the coun-
ty jail. And it all happened
this way. Wolf brought a load
of hay to town for a negro who
lives on the farm of John Majors.
He sold the hay and then un-
harnessed the mules and at
tempted to sell them here. But
Lexington people knew too much
about him and so he went to
Wellington and offered them for
the market there. He was ar
rested there by deputy con-
stable and was brought back here
to await his trial in the criminal
court.

izer of the Chorus Girls union. The
conditions arg absolutely intolerable.
We are determined to secure for these
young women a wage that will not
force them to choose between starva-
ton and the streets. There are, of
course, exceptions, but in the main
the English girl who goes into the
chorus Is straight and Woodworking
and wants to keep straight. AS we do
not believe she can do it, either in
London or the provinces on less than
$40 a week, that is the minimum wage
upon which we are insisting.
Other evils we are going after are
the bogus agents who gets money out
of an aspirant on the promise Of an
engagement that never materializes.
and the bogus manager who takes
company on tour and leaves 1t strand
ed, absconding with the receipts. We
shall try to get bin through parlia-
ment that will put stop to this
business, similar to the laws on the
continent which require all theatrical
managers to place on deposit with a
government official sufficient funds to
guarantee the payment Of salaries for
a specified number of weeks

LONDON, Oct 14--British theatre
goers are facing the possibility of
chorus girl strike.
The union formed last May by young
women of London who are endeavor-
ing against tremendous odds to earn
an honest livelihood on the comic
opera stage now numbers nearly 800
members. The enrolment has prac-
tically doubled since the adoption by
the trades union congress, at its re-
cent annual meeting, of strong reso-
luton pledging the assistance of or
ganized labor in obtaining for them q
decent minimum wage and putting an
end to the present degrading condi-
tons in the British theatrical world
AS first step in this direction,
the Amalgamated Musicians union,
Of which the Chorus Girls union is a
branch, has prepared a plan of boy
colt against managers who refuse to
pay proper wage. If this does not
prove effective the strike will be re-
sorted to. An arrangement has been
made with the general federation OF
trades unions whereby placards will
be posted freely throughout any town
where so-called sweating company
Is scheduled to appear, asking all
unionists and those who sympathize
with the movement to remain away
from the performances. Attention
will be directed first to the provinces,
as it is in the travelling companies
that the most Objectionable conditions
prevail. Managers of some of these
companies pay as low as 81 week,
of which the chorus girl must give up
10 per cent to the agent who secured
her contract Few of the London
theatre, even, pay more than $40 a
week.
]. B. Williams, secretary of the
Amalgamated Musicians union who
prepared the resolution adopted by
the labor congress, drew a striking
picture of the struggles and tempta
tions of the average English chorus
girl.
