But Is Better Today.

A tragic death, whether by design or
accident is not known, was narrowly
averted at the soldiers home hospital
early this morning when Andrew
Martin. of Des Moines, a demented
patient, swallowed his handkerchief.
Martin was gagging. frothing at the
mouth, and on the verge of commissions
when DR., H. A. Newell assistant sur

Miss Jackson, the night nurse. found
Martin showing -sn-the symptoms of
strangulation about / o'clock when she
was making the rounds Of the ward.
She summoned the assistant surgeon.
Martin was almost unconscious. DIR.
Newell and the nurse forced open the
demented mans mouth, and the sur
geon, reaching into Martins mouth.
drew from 1t the handkerchief which
was of large size. 1t had become
wadded in the back of the mouth, and
apparently the end of it had passed
down into Martins throat. Relieved of
the cloth, Martin soon became quiet
and today was apparently no worse for
his narrow escape.
The hospital attendants do not know
whether Martin swallowed the hand
kerchief Intentionally, or placed it in
his mouth without knowing what he
was really doing. Martin is 81 years
of age. Altho demented he is not
dangerous but requires constant watch

Umpire chases TAYLOR.

It has just developed that Taylor's
retirement from the game at Burlington
Monday was due to the pitcher having
incurred the displeas1re of Umpire

to the belief that Taylor had malicious

heated argument following the incident
and Taylor was finally chased, after the

assault the official, but the jumps"
thought otherwise, and it was a matter
of opinion which was correct in his

Change Your Act or Back to the
Woods" as the chief headliner OF one
Of the best bills at b. F. Keith's this
season. two capacity audiences yesterday
were given a treat in light and snappy
vaudeville that had more than its share
of ginger. Sharing honors with Moore
were Miss Kathleen Clifford. a close rival
to Elsie Janis in her representations;
Miss Ida Brooks Hunt and company in
a heightened operetta, and Henry Lewis,
a new comedian star appearing for the
first time in Washington.
The Ramsdell trio. who open the BILL
present one of the daintiest dancing acts
ever seen in vaudeville, the girls display
ing beautiful gowns. Libonati made the
audience shuttle its feet in rhythm TO his
''rag-time' notes on .the xylophone. Sam
Barton distilled new interest in the in
evitable tramp and bike act
Another skit that deserved all the ap-
plause it received was caused by THE
Troublesome Trunk" with All Grant and
Ethel Hoag in a new line of monologue,
spiced with a few songs. Most OF the
fun-making fell to the part Of Grant, who
carried his audience with him.
Those who really care for good music
found real cause for enjoyment in
THE Singing Countess" one of the de-
cided hits of the bill, presented by Miss
Ida Brooks and a company of three.
Miss Brooks has an exceptionally clear
soprano voice and the tunes of the
operetta are catchy.
Miss Kathleen Clifford, petite. pretty,
and winsome. is rightly billed the smart
est chap in town" She disrobed behind
a screen which reflected her shadows and
in the twinkling OF the eye appeared on
the stage as a chappie boy or as a very
dainty miss. In either event. she and
her songs appealed to the audience.
Henry Lewis made a hit from the start
in a clever prologue to his Vaudeville
Cocktail" which was a mixture of mono
logue. songs and poems" Mr.. Moore
and Miss Littlefield captured the honors
with a clever act 1t was typical OF a

CAYETY.
"The Beauty Parade"

1t would be difficult to name all the
reasons why "The Beauty Parade" which
opened its weeks engagement at the
Gayety yesterday. Is the best show that
has visited the popular Ninth-street play
house this season. An ail-star cast, an
unusually attractive chorus, an abund-
ance OF good comedy, and a number Of
songs of the whistling kind are few
OF the reasons why the Beauty Parade"
deserves first honors.
Harry Fields. the inimitable Hebrew
comedian, Is show in himself. He Is
responsible for most OF the laughter. and
his song specially in the second act was
the hit of the performance. The Countess
Rossi, a living Partisan fashion model.
displayed to their best advantage some
of the most daring stage costumes seen
here this year. She Is a vivacious little
woman. and IL seems as IL she Is In all
corners of the stage at the same time.
The supporting members of the cast arc
far above the average. each a headliner
in their parts. George +. Hayes. as the
sheriff from Pikeville. is scream.
Others worthy of mention are George A.
Wood. Joe Phillips. James Howell, Mar
tina Stuart, Lila Brennan. and Elsie

The chorus Is the largest and most
attractive seen here this season. The cos
tunes are elaborate. and no less than a
dozen changes are made during the show.
