ALL CHANGE BILLS TONIGHT

The different play-houses of the
city certainly handed out amusement
enough last Saturday night to those
of the city who like an evening with
vaudeville and moving pictures. There
were good shows at them all. and
most of the patrons arranged so that
they could take in one of the shows
and then go over to the other for the
second show.
Every playhouse in the city was
crowded and it was hard to find a
Seat after the first picture or act was
on.
There is change of program at all
Of them for tonight and there is no
reason why they should not give as
good a class of entertainment as they
did last week.
Look over the programs that are
printed today and see what each is Of
fering in the line of entertainment.

An article in one of the late east
ern papers intimates that a nation
may be judged by the character Of its
music. Then the writer spoke Of the
ragtime that is so popular with the
American people. If this nation is tc
be. characterized by it's music. it will
probably be called ragtime nation.
There are sheets and sheets of this
riusic turned out by Sthe publishers
every day and every day the people
Luy it. The people are thinking rag
time, dancing ragtime, and some of
the girls are walking ragtime. The
cause Of this may be laid to the the
atrical people perhaps for it is usu-
ally through the avenue of the stage
that the new pieces are made popu-
lar, and no doubt il they turned out
more of the beautiful ballads they
would Cake the place of ragtime in
the thoughts of the masses.
. The article quoted goes on to say
that although a group Of young folks
when gathered around the piano il
the evening TO enjoy some music, usu
ally started out with the latest popu-
lar airs they usually closed the even
ing's entertainment with the old bal
lads that we're sung by their parents.
This is true in many instances and
the old folk songs are far more bean
t:ful than the choppy ragtime pieces.
and the young voices when blended
in the harmony of the older songs
sound much sweeter.
Yhe change in the music of the ma
tionstions in the past generation is
very noticeable. Formerly the popu.

RAGTIME in realm OF SACRED
MUSIC SHOULD Be CONDEMNED

lar music was sung in the theatres,
but was seldom brought Unto the
homes Of the people. When the young
folks were in a particularly lively
mood they would go SO far as TO sing
Dem Golden Slippers, or tell the
waeful tale Johnny Jones and His
Sister Sue" bnt their 'favorites We're
"Old Black joe" '"The Swanpe River"
and others that are found in the
books with their worn out bindings
that Our mothers keep in the old
trunks in the store room.
One Of the things that is enough to
make any person with a natural ear
for music shUdder is the transpOsiug
of sweet songs of sacred import into
ragtime strains. This, to the writer,
seems almost a sacrilege. 1t would
perhaps, be a good thing for the
young people who do this to invest in
a copy of The Rosary" and read it
carefully. | do not thing that they
will soon want 10 rag" to it again.
1t seems quite the natural thing
that with the change in the music
comes a change in the dancing. When
the semi-classical music Was popular
the people danced the old Virginia
Reel and the Lancers and other of
the old time figure dances. If, as
some of the dancing masters predict
the dances of our mothers and grand
mothers are TO come into vogue again,
what kind of music will be played by
the quintet clubs? Will be have an
attempt to dance the Virginia Reel
to "Chicken Reef" Let's hope not,
as the feat would be rather a diff
cult one to perform.

WHY DO men TRY To REGULATE
kind Of CLOTHES WOMEN WEAR?

1t is not a reflection upon the ra-

question OF their clothes is still one
that must be regulated by men?

stress being laid upon sex equality
and upon the injustice of double stlnd-
ards and discriminating privilege;
granted to men, it is certainly com.

FLIRT GAVE A $500
RING TO STRANGER
Police Have It and Pretty Wife
Will Probably Not Call for
Jewel.

Philadelphia, Jan, 2s.-The police
mere have u diamond ring worth about
$500. The owner is said to be the
pretty young wife OF a prominent busi-
ness man. So far she hi failed toEcall
for it and 1t is doubtful If she will.
Albert Kirchner turned the ring over
to the police, saying that two nights
ago he got into q mild Irritation at the
corner OF Eighth n Market streets.
The other party to the Irritation was
o pretty wSman, n eventually they
made an engagement to meet on the
same corner last night.
"How do I know you will be here
Kirchner asked.
Here, / will prove 1t to YOU" she
answered, and with thai tool the ring
from her finger and handed it to Kirch-
ner. On the night appointed he was
on the corner. He waited there for
four hours, but the woman did not APP
pear.
Detectives have ascertained that the
wife of a prominent business man two
nights ago left not only the ring In
the hands of Kirchner, but two more
equally valuable rings in the hands of
two other strangers as pledges that she
would keep engagements. The police
pension fund will probably be In.

TEXTILE STRIKERS IN
FIGHT WITH MILITIA
Lawrence Operatives Try to
Prevent Non : Unionists
From Working.

Lawrence, Mass. Jan. 30.-Serious
fioting occurred today when a crowd
of strikers attempted to prevent oper-
atives from entering the various textile
mills to resume work. In many cases
the strikers We're successful. and the
mills that reopened were able to operate
only on a greatly reduced scale. Sew
eral persons were seriously injured
during the trouble.
The rioters held UP some 20 or more
electric cards headed in the direction
of the mills, forced the passengers to
leave the cars and then assaulted them
in the belief that they were strike
breakers. Bottles and lumbs of Ice
were thrown in the car windows.
The rioting began an hour before the
time for the opening of the mill gate.
The mob was composed mostly of
foreigners and many were women, who
cheered the men on to violence. The
police were powerless to end the dis
orders.
Entrance to the mill district by the
marchers was prevented by the militia
stationed in streets bordering the mills.
