PAT WHITE IN 1.-THE
BIG JUBILEE" AT MINERS

What promises TO be one of the
strong shows of the season opens for
a weeks engagement at Miners EN-
pire Theatre, with the regular Mon
day matinee. 1t is the big Jubilee"
company, with your friend Pat"
White as the bright particular star
of the attraction. When you say
up all kinds of hearty and innocent
fun, for as laugh-maker "Pat"
White Is easily the peer of any Irish
comedian on the stage.
Pats" dry humor is infectious,
and no matter in what frame of mind
you may be, to see him Is to forget
everything else than to laugh. OF
course, while pat" is a big part of
the show, he is not "the whole show"
He has able assistants. any one of
them who would be a star attraction
in many burlesque companies. Golph
Phillips is one of the chief aides to
White in his making, while the
little dude" Tom O'Neil, is close to
the wire as a fun-maker Harvey
Brooks, who is rated as one of the
best, if not the best, juvenile men on
the burlesque stage, gives pat
White valuable assistance, and James
McInerney and Bert Jones are heard
to good advantage in singing num-
| bers.
So much for the male portion of the
performance. Now to the fair sex
Again does the big Jubilee" stand
head and shoulders over them all In
point of the number of feminine stars,
there being no less than four leading
| ladies. Anna Grant is too well known
as a leading woman to require any
commentator, and nearly all of the
regulars at Miners Empire Theatre

so we will speak of Miss Marjorie
Mack. the lyric soprano. This young
lady has the highest voice of any So
prano In the burlesque world and she
is also fair to look upon. While

The Poor Little Rich Girl" one
of the most emphatic dramatic
triumphs of last seasons offerings,
proves that the theatre going public
of today can enjoy plays of pure
thought and keen originality.
According to the New York press
and public Endorsement. this ex-
traordinary play is fantasy, con
ceived by one who understands human
nature. acted simply, quantity, natur-
ally. with no SIMULTANEOUSLY obvious
moralizing or no empty platitudes.
On account of its literary success the
author. Eleanor Gates, has many
times been compared to Rostand,

of whimsical plays.

Washington, d. c., June 28.-The
bull moose party, like the wild pigeon
and the great aux, soon will become
extinct. If returns recently made by
election commissioners of several
counties in western New York, indi-
cate anything, was statement made
by Reed Scott, editor of the Repub-

Washington. Mr. Scott had some in
teresting figures. ....EE VII.
The bull moosers did not enroll in
New York last year but, under the
New York state law, in order to have
primaries Of their own this year, it
was necessary for them to enroll by
filling in their party Affiliations In the
blanks furnished by the election COM
missioners. 1t is upon the returns
which have been made to these COM
missionefs that Mr. Scott bases his
predictions that the progressive par
ty soon will peter out. -.
TN my county Of Livingston" said
Mr.. Scott, the bull moosers last No
yember polled 1,7SO votes, so the COM
missioners this year sent out 1000
blanks to the voters Of the county
who we're not enrolled either as re-
publicans or democrats. OF the 1,780
votes which we're cast for Theodore
Roosevelt only $50 now have enroll
ed as progressives
In the county of Ontario the pro-
gressive ticket last fall polled 2,37S
votes, but there we're $500 voters in
the county who did not affiliate with
either of the great parties, so the
election, commissioners sent out this
number of blanks. Of this number,
only 1873 were returned as progress
ives. "a .....
Take another county, Monroe. of
which Rochester is the county seat:
In that county, there were, in round
numbers, $4,000 votes cast last Nov
ember for the Roosevelt electors, but
only 700 voters have responded to the
appeals of the bull moose leaders
that they declare themselves as men,
bers of the progressive party.

these returns mean anything, and I

they indicate that the bull moose

Secretary Bryan had nothing to. give
him for his long past services to the

similar to that of a large number of
others who believed themselves emit

for his stock car. He bought half a

chunks. inclosed them in gunny
sacks and wred them to the top of
the car. allowing them to hang down
just above the backs of the animals.
Not hog died, and the shrinkage
