1 and all is guesswork or prophesy as
to its mission.
Plenty of Coal Taken.
The run to Guayaquil is a long one,
1t is eighteen hundred miles from
here. The bunkers of the Maryland
were filled to overlooking, and then
coal was piled up on her decks. Her
bunker capacity is 1910. but she took
away from here 1405 tons.
GuayaquiI Unhealthy.
1t might be thought that there is
undue straining after the facetious to
say that Guayaquil is unhealthy.
This statement has no relation what
ever to the fact that there is a revo-
luton going on there, or that revolI-
tons are common. At December %
last there were fifty-seven cases of
plague raging there, and twenty-five
deaths had occurred from this dis
ease. There were seven cases Of vel
low fever and two deaths.
Fleet News Nil.
There was practically a dearth of
news around the fleet this morning
apart from the talk inseparable from
the departure Of the Maryland. The
South Dakota is being inspected by
Admiral Thomas, and this will take
some time.
New Orleans Expected Today.
The New Orleans is evidently max
ing faster time than was expected,
for she is being looked for this after
noon late, or early this evening from
Yokohama, en- route to San Francisco.
She will go to the Channel wharf
and sail as early as possible
A Refutatlon.
The Star on Saturday stated on re-
liable authority that the fleet was get
ting its fresh supply of potatoes and
onions from San Francisco, because
there were not enough to go around
here. p, A. Smith, of May & Co,
called in this morning to refute this.
He admitted that there were not
nearly enough local supplies, but his
firm and others got plenty from the
coast This is what he said
"At no time since the fleet has been

apples in under any condition. The
quantity of our bananas is not enough
to make very much difference to them

great quantities from the West In

we get any consideration at ALL"
The following is a copy of the letter
which puts ban on infested fruits

We will not tolerate the shipping in
of bananas infested with Aspidiotus

to the amount of $24IOO, receipts at
the door were $21.OO, a total of $26S,

The Maskaraders
A Great Success
Large Crowd Enjoyed the Play
Put on by the Chanute
Elks Lodge.

The general opinion of Chanute
PEOPLE that the Elks lodge always
puts on good show was fully vim
dicated Friday when The Mask
araders was presented in the Het-
lick to large and appreciative
crowd. Those who saw the Inn
side Inn last year expected that
this years play which was written
by Joe Bren and put on under his
direction and that OF his assistant
Mr.. Sapp, would be good enter
tainment and they were not disaq-
pointed. Except for the part taken
by Mrs Bren the cast was all local
talent some of whom had starred
in previous performances by the
Elks lodge and others for whom it
was a first appearance.
The Maskaraders is a rollickipg
musical comedy in which the in
terest is divided between the night
horse races in which Bluebird is
the prominent pony and the sale OF
the soul mate tablets which cause
so much confusion by he various
love making scenes which they in
spire. All of the leading characters
in the play deserve special mention
as each had his part we'll in hand
and seem especially suited to act
out his role.
The ladies in the choruses were
in the play as sales girls of the
Poppinjay department store and as
bargain hunters in addition to
their, FREQUENT songs The boys in
the choruses who were designated
as floor walkers and statesmen had
their full share in making success
of the music. The costumes of
the singersin several of the c oruses
were quite striking and added to
the attractiveness of the songs.
The Elks Lodge some time ago
voted to donate the net proceeds Of
the play to the fund for purchasing
the band instruments. The amount
which will be turned oyer for this
purpose could not be ascertained
this morning but the size Of the
crowd last night indicated that the
fund would be considerably bene-
fitted from this source.

DISCUSSED FURTHER ROAD BUIlDING

The Good Roads Commission met
Friday afternoon at the city hall
and transacted routine business and
then discussed where the next road
building should be begun No ac-
tion was taken but the petitions OF
property owners north of the city
were considered. One request was
that the road should be continued
east and north from the Barker cor
ner to the county line. The second
petition was for road to run west
from the Barker and then also north
to the county line. The Commits
sion had heard that people west of
Chanute desired road built both
north and south from the point
where the good east and west road
ends. AS regards the construction
of the east road half mile further
to the Tioga township line, the
members of the Commission felt
that Big Creek township men should
do their share by improving the
main road within their township.
