which included two playets, 1.-THE Mil
Eonaire Janitor," and 1.-THE Bell in the
Forest" aside from numerous other
features.
A baby show in which "a little girls,
and a diminutive judge, decked in
evening attire, participated, made a
real hit The judge, WHO was the
proprietor of a shoe store. conceived
the idea that he could increase his BUSH
ness by holding a baby Show. After
much indecision a doll baby named
Clara Louise Smith was picked as the
ers became irate to think that mere
Smith should win the prize; conse-
quently from a purely business stand
point the show was failure.
Another feature that took well was i
group of 80 brownies, ranging in age
from to 10 years. The little fellows,
who were appropriately dressed, had
been trained to do steps in the most
approved style. They provoked much
laughter, and the fact that they showed
no stage fright proved that they had
been well trained by the sisters.
A comic duet. Reuben and Rachel
in which Charles Monaghan, Michael
Birmingham, Margaret Mcdonald and
Eileen Grice took part, was vigorously
encored.
Among other features that pleased
were: The grand march by the Or
chestra partially composed of pupils of
the, school; song, over the Sea- by
the students of the Assumption high
school; song I'm Old Ireland Meet Me
There by John Zercher; ''Revel of the

He Has Taken Absolute Control of
His Campaign,

Chicago, June 19.-Theodore Roose-
welt had his fighting blood surging
early today and from the moment he
reached his conference quarters in the
Congress hotel, until his field captains
departed for the convention hall there
was unusual Scurrying about.
Senator Dixon, his campaign man
ager; Governor Hadley, his floor
leader, George w. Perkins, Clifford
Pinchot and others most intimately
in the colonel's confidence were clos
eted with Mr.. Roosevelt later for
more than an hour. Governor Had
ley said just before going to Mr..
Roosevelts rooms that he thought
there would be no change in the con-
vention program of the Roosevelt
forces.
Some of Mr.. Roosevelt's friends
were not so certain the colonel would
not have some other plans in his
mind which might upset things. That
the colonel has taken absolute domin-
ating command of the situation seems
a certainty. He issues orders like an
officer in the field and has messen-
gers rushing about.
THE colonel is absolute boss, said
one of the Roosevelt lieutenants. We
know of no change in the campaign
plans up to date, but he might
change them at any moment"
