An Awful Shock.

-
The deputy stage manager at the
Theater Royal, Dublin, at one time
was a little mar named Linders, who
had a strange dislike Of the ladies Of
the ballet and treated them rather
harshly. He wore a wig. but the fact
was not generally known. On one oc-
casion, however. an enraged coryphee
seized him by the hair, and off came
the wig. exposing a shiny expanse Of
Uranium. He at once dashed off to
complain to Mrs. Harris. the man
ayers wife. but the good lady could
only gasp in stupefed tones: Good
gracious. Mr.. Linders! Why, you are
bald" To which Linders instantly
replied: mo. madam. no.. My hair

proved that bats could pursue and

The vibrations or waves from a bats

posed that the bat is able to detect the
reflections and thus to guide it's fight.

Hill is an Indian and a clever pen
man. He was on parole at the time he
is alleged to have committed the crimes
in Lake county. He was afterwards
taken for violating his parole, and
while being held on this charge. the
evidence of his criminality in Lake
county came out against him. This
will make it necessary for him to
serve out his sentence in the Ohio
prison.
Hill has written letter to the prose-
cutor's office asking him to nolie the
cases against him. He says that he will
lead an honest life from now on, a la
bandit Webb dope, and asks to be
permitted, when his term at Columbus
expires. to go back to his wife and boy.
He denies completely in the Gary affair

ORPHEUM THEATRE

Between 10000 and $4,000 people see
the shows at the Orpheum every week.
For weeks the three Sunday shows
have been sold out and hundreds of
people have been turned away.
These overflow to the moving pic
ture houses in the vicinity. 1t is get
ting so that the failure to reserve seats
means that it is impossible to see the
show.
There seems to be no possible way in
which the theatre can be enlarged to
take care of the business. When the
street car line is built to Dolton, Blue
Island and Riverdale and when the
Hammond East Chicago line is double
tracked and the Indiana Harbor extern
sion Is built the matter of taking care
of the Misunderstanding public will
be a problem.
