New York's Nickname.

Gotham is the name of village in
England whose inhabitants, according
to ancient tradition, were noted for
their sophisticatedness and simph-
city and hence were called, by way Of
ridicule, the wise men Of Gotham" !"
English legends and rhymes refer to
the wise men of Gotham, and Wash
ington Irving, in Salmagundi, applied
It as a nickname to New York because
the inhabitants we're such wiseacres.
The nickname has survived its orig
inal significance II it ever had any.

EVIL MUST BE oBLITERATED
Noted Educator Declares Question In

of the White Race.

Boston.-"The lasting Of the white
race Is involved in the question of the
social evil" said President Emeritus

"The family life of the white race
is at stake in its purity, healthfulness

ALABAMA MINSTRELS MAKE
GOOD.

For lovers of real old-time negro
minstrels the tent show known as the
Alabama Minstrels, under the manage
ment OF 8. l.. Erickson, who conducted
the hrst performance at Eight South.
and Main streets last night, is really
an innovation.
The play is clean, and the forty odd
performers, as we'll as the musicians,
are all of the old southern darby type.
lhey all sing and dance as none but
darkies can, and their comedy is such
that any one attending the perform
ances cannot resist sidesplitting laugh
ter. The second and last performance
will be given tonight commencing at 5
o'clock, and although the attendance
was most gratifying last night, there
is little doubt but that the large tent
will be filled to the capacity for the
last show.
The first part was on the style of the
old-tlnle negro minstrels, the end men,
who were really artists in their lines
being Ernest Watts, Joe Clark, Archie
Grant, Billy Edwards, Jimmie Garrett
and H.. Wallburg, with A. J. McFar-
land as interlocutor. The opening
chorus by the entire company was
followed by such popular vocal solos
as "Nobody's Fool" "Silver Threads
Among the Gold" and the "Washing-
ION Waddle."
During the intermission daring slack
wire teats were performed by Billy
Edwards, and any one thinking that
the said Billy canot do stunts that
border on the miraculous, will change
his mind after seeing the exhibition!
The Alabama comedy four sung sew
eral beautiful selections, after which
Hi Henry Hunt, for years associated
with eastern vaudeville artists, pro-
ceeded to give an exhibition of fire
eating, the audience showing its ap-
probation by repeated applause.
Jimmie CARROTS exhibition of fancy
and comedy jig dancing met with
hearty approval, while Watts and Ed
wards, the "Kolored Kings of Kom-
edy," kept the house in a continuous
uproar. Arthur Prince, the last sin
gle performer on the bill, gave an ex-
hibition of juggling and hoop rolling
that cannot be excelled, the entire
company taking part in a comedy
drama skit entitled "The Duel" dur
ing the rendition of which pastimes Of
the south, picturing many of the sor-
rows and pleasures of the good old
slavery days were introduced.
After tonight's performance the
company will proceed to Park City,
expecting to visit every principal city
in the state before making artour Of,
the western states.-Salt Lake Trib-
