Keepers Put Ban on Dances in Zoo

ed yesterday when a passing keeper
happened to see julius Caesar, thel
dean OF the monkey house, and Cleo
patra, the fascinating, heart breaking
first lady of monkeyland going,
through the intricate steps of the.
dance.
He stopped, he looked, and he listen
ed. The face Of julius, according to
the keeper, was lighted up with a grin
which seemed to denote a happiness
and a dissatisfaction that has been
strangely missing from the guests OF
the rustic mansion overlooking beau
tiful Rock creek ever since the keep
ers found it advisable to give them
cold-storage eggs in lieu of the fresh
laid kind.
The keeper who discovered the
monkeys dancing said that in few
minutes the entire population Of the
monkeys cage was swaying to the
steps of the dance. He said that it
seemed so lifelike that he was almost
convinced that he heard julius say to
Cleo, "Everybody's Doing TT and
Roll Your Eyes, My Honey"
The two monkeys that have set the
fashion, according to the keeper, do
not seem to approve of the younger
monkeys INDUCING in it, and stopped
dancing in a vain endeavor to have
them desist. This the youngsters re-
fused to do, and the whole affair end
ed like a .'Bowery ball."

NINE. FRANCES
ALDA'S RECITAL

The Rock Island Musical club has
put forward every effort possible to
bring to the city the very best obtain
able in the musical line. Its offerings
heretofore have been of the very high
est order and have been literally pat
ronized and have delighted large audi
ences. Tomorrow evening at the ILL
nois theatre the club will present Mad
anne Frances Aida in recital. Madame
Aida is a soprano who has sung in
grand opera for the last few years and
has everywhere been received with an
ovation. She is one of the younger of
the stars in grand opera, and although
she has been before the musical public
so few years, has won an enviable
reputation. She is said to have a Won
derfully beautiful voice and a mag.
netic, beautiful stage appearance.
SEAT SALE GOOD.
The sale of seats for the concert has
been very good, but so far the sale has
not netted the club enough money to
cover the expenses of bringing Ma
dame Aida here. There is no per
sonal gain, nor any selfish motive on
the part of any member of the club in
bringing an artist here, and the club
does not aim to make nancy from the
concerts, only what is needed to cover
expenses.
The members of the club feel that
the public owes them its patronage
and with the moderation in the wealth
er there should be a large audience
present tomorrow evening. The pro
gram will begin at $40 in order thai
those wishing to do so may attend the
evangelistic meetings. The pastor:
have agreed to shorten the services to
morrow evening, giving those desiring
to attend the concert ample time Il
reach the theatre before the beginning
of the program.
Madame Aida will have as her &C
companist Albert Randegger, who ha!
achieved renown as an accompanist

Danville, H., Jan. 22.-At a mass
meeting of baseball fans held Friday
night at the city hall tentative plans
for the taking over of the controlling
interest in the local baseball club
We're outlined. A committee was ap-
pointed to meet and confer with Pres
ident Powers, controlling stakeholder,
Non his arrival here Tuesday and de-
termine what Powers will do.
This committee. composed of DR.. G.
NJ. Harper, Alb Deutsch and Joseph
w. Plaster, will endeavor to learn
what may be done toward putting
the club in shape to make some money
during 1912. One of the members of
the committee expressed himself as
willing, with three or four others, to
advance $1,000 and make the concern
small stock company. Whatever is
done, it is asserted that Danville will
have Three-Eye baseball, even though
it be necessary TO get out and shake
down the fans for So or so each
LOSS OVER $1,000.
The annual report showed receipts
to have been S1C,430.OS, with expendi-
lures of S12,SSS. The expenditures
| included two trips to New York, more
than a dozen to Chicago and various
side trips taken by Manager McCar-
thy during the year and also expenses
for entertainments and banquets. 1t
was shown that by practicing econ
omy the club would have made money
during 1911, even though there was
not a player sold and about $500
was expended for players who were
not used It was shown that the club
handled properly, could make a fair
return on the investment, with an at
tendance of 10000 and should there
be any players sold, the investment
would pay from 6 to 10 per cent.
FOR PLAYING MANAGER.
Letters from the president of the
league and other magnates were read
These showed that new constitution
has been adopted, providing for the
curtailing of expenses in many depart
ments. With the playing list cu
down about $500 additional expens,
and $500 increase in the price TO
drafted players, it was shown tina
Danville, leading the league in at

there is no reason why it should no
