Proper Turkey Trot
Too Tame for Him.

The propriety Of the turkey trot"
still is questioned by social leaders, al
though it's the vogue at ali the dances
at the Capital City and Piedmont Driv-
ing clubs.
The Athletic clubs published state
ment that the dance was barred from
that club, at the requests Of mothers
and sisters, is not far from wrong"
said one Of the leading members Of the
Cotillion club.
The dance is very, very proper when
danced as the refocmers urge; no one
can question that"
And then bit mournfully:
But it's so ID uninteresting then.

Orpheum-Vaudeville

At the Orpheum last night each of
the five acts was received with marked
appreciation. Each OF them is very
good this week, and the offering Is one
that is evenly balanced.
The Carl Dammann troupe of seven
acrobats is the headliner, and they Of
fer a series of daring feats In tum-
bling, balancing. hand to hand work
and casting. The team has two women,
two men and three boys, and they share
the honors about evenly. The men and
women toss the boys around in a man
ner that causes many thrills and ex-
clamations of surprise from the au-
dience. The tumbling of one of the men
is especially effective and we'll done
1t take place among the best acrobatic
turns that has been seen here this sea-
son.
Many good laughs of the rural COM
edy veriety were offered by Eldrige
and Barlow, the former being the
typical country sheriff, store keeper,
postmaster and man about the town,
while the latter is a star in the the
atricaI world Mr.. Eldridge makes "A
very much better "rube" comedian tim
is usually found and his comedy is
iieSh lioiu lHt touHlIy with ROOu,
hearty laugh tagged to every joke he
assays. The act is just long enough and
doesn't drag at any time.
The Graphaphone Girl Is what Miss
Adeline Francis calls herself She has
sung several selections into the graph
aphone and on the stage the machine
accompanies her When singing togeth-
er the two voice cannot be told apart,
which is tribute to the excellence of
her voice and the machine. The novelty
of the act and the fact that Mia,
Francis has a good voice made 1t very
popular.
Billy Jones starts slowly, but he ends
his act In whirlwind of fun. He Is a
musical comedian with many little
novelties that made hit with the au-
dience yesterday, and as a result he
received more applause than any act on
the bill. As musician he plays with a
delicate touch several ballads and his
ragtime has the true swing of the
poplar music.
The Three Arthurs are the opening
number of the bill, and are expert
cyclists. The two young ladies in the
act are of SURPRISING grace, and per-
with ease and occasionally slip in a
real thriller" that is new. The man
is also a good cyclist and the three to-
gether accomplish several feats of skill
on wheels that the audiences applauded
Taking all five acts as a whole they
present an entertainment that seems
to be of the most popularivariety at the
Orpheum.

At the BiiOu

Piquant and vivacious as ever, Emma
Bunting returned to the Bijou for
weeks engagement last night in asnew
play, THE Girl From Out Yonder." The
audience, for a Biiou opening night, was
unusually large and fashionable-it was
also enthusiastic in its appreciation OF
the star.
AS to the play, it was a flimsy affair
that dragged at times, but the person.
ality of Miss Bunting redeems the dull
ness of the piece and a satisfactory even
ing's entertainment is given. Without
Miss Bunting the play would be rele-
gated to the storehouse. She was the
whole show
Emma Bunting in her new piece appears s
as "Flotsam," the child of the sea. 1t
is a typical Bunting part-a melange
of pathos and gaiety, and Miss Bunting
throughout the four acts runs the gamut
of emotions. She ingratiates herself with
the audience; her sorrows are their sor-
rows; her joys their joys, and it's nice to
leave the theatre with the impression that
"F1otsam' is happy under the overeoat
with Elmer, hs~ sweetheart.
The play is of the New England sea
coast. Twenty years before the play
commences a man has been killed and
Capt Amos Barton, "Flotsam's" father,
is accused of the killing Captain Bar
ton believes he is guilty and the play
opens with the captain a lighthouse
keeper living on a rocky island with his
daughter "Flotsam." Edward Elmer =
young engineer, visits the island and
"Flotsam" saves the life of one of the
ladies accompanying Elmer Eliot
SAM and Elmer" fall in love and every
thing is running along nicely until joey
a nautical admirer of "Flotsam,' in mad
jealousy denounces Capt. Amos Barton as
the murderer of "Elmer's'' father.
This accusation places Capt. Amos
Barton in Jail for two years and delays
the love affair of "Flotsam" and Ell
mer'' just that long Everything comes
out all right in the last act-the captain
returns from Jail; Cousin Simonson pre-
poses" to Captain Cooke" Joey admits
that "Flotsam' is too good for him: the
real murderer confesses and clears the
stain on the name of "Flotsam's" daddy,
and Elmer comes back. The play ends
with "Flotsam smuggling under an oven-
coat and Elmer also under said oveit
coat.

train. This gave rise to all sorts of ru-
mors, which merely caused the President
to reiterate his determination to remain
at the head of the administration and con-
tinue his efforts towards the pacifcation
of the country
Three weeks ago when President Will
sons special representative, John Lind,
sent final message to General Huerta
setting forth certain demands by the Uni
ted States, the provisional President could
not be found and it was reported that
he had fled from the federal capital
General Huerta, however had merely
gone to Tlalpam, a suburb, and returned
the following day. At that time he
laughed at the idea of flight declaring
that he intended to remain at his post
to the end.
Spends Day at Legation
Rear Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock,
commanding the British cruisers in Mex
lean waters, spent most of the day at
the British legation. He did not call on
President Huerta, but said he expected
to do so before he returned to Vera Cruz.
A resolution was introduced in the
Chamber of Deputies today to instruct
the department of finance not to pay to
congressman any salary other than that
due to them as congressman If the reso-
luton is adopted 1t will save the country
many hunureus OF tnousanus OF pesos an
nually. Many generals, who are now
members of the lower house, would for
felt their salaries from the war depart
ment.
The action was prompted by the fact
that the constitution forbids a member
of Congress from drawing any other
salary from the government than that in
connection with his congressional position.
A majority of the members of the present.
Congress are on the pay roll of the gov
ernment in other departments.
