very humble circumstances, we are

of $4,000 or $40,0 900 by commerce with
South America. he invested it in San

city of the Golden Gate was but a
strip of wind blown sand between the
mighty Pacific and the now famous
bay The gold fever broke out in the
spring of 1913. and the little cluster of
wooden shacks became all at once a
center of attraction to thousands from
all over the world The 600 inhahi-

rose like magic for mile after mile

Musta ches.

A mustache is what you choose to
make it Almost every man has the
raw materials at his command. and
he can cut them or cuddle them as he
sees fit. Some men beat their mus
taches savagely back into their upper
lips. refusing them growth. shave them
remOrselessly once or twice day
and never LET hair of them see the
light of day. Other men coax and
cajole their mustaches to emerge. pet
them. pamper them. protect them and
view the resultant hirsute effects in
the light Of artistic achievements But
not NIL musta"hes are artistic. Some
are stubby. and some are scraggly. and
some are simply unmowed hair. Now

Richmond, July 3l.--In a singing
epy to the criticisms which have
been levelled against him because Of

clared bY the Virginia Associ alton
for Local Seli-Government, Judge
George L. Christian, to-day, publicly

minded company Of citizens dedicated

harmed the basic principles of local

his creed in these words:
II believe and always have believed in
Local Option. l am a Democrat and
have always voted the emocratic ticket,
and thoroughly believe in the Demo-
cratic principle Of local self. government
and hence, that each and every county

should enjoy the privilege of deter =

sued in that community on this impor-
tant question.
Il believe, too, in the three aphor-
isms as enunciated by Mr.. Jefferson:
First, that the State has no right to
control or attempt to control the private
opinions Of the individual
Second, that compulsion makes
hypocrites and NOT converts.
Third, that error needs the support
Of the State, but thar truth will sand
alone Without such support

OVER NIGHT PROVES
VERY FUNNY FARCE

over Night" is a very funny farce.
Its complications are different from
the average farce. and Just as soon
as the I>aYerne company gets in closer
touch with the lines. and the stage
hands get quicker move upon Them
selves. there Will be more opportunity
of sizing up the members of the COM
pany. which is here for an Indefinite
stay at the Empire
The performance last night lacked
finish. In fact, 1t was after o clock
when the finish came-due largely to
two long waits and a slow opening.
These obstacles TO perfect presenta-
ton viii be removed by tonight, and
those who want to see and enjoy
farce wit some funny lines and ;-nny
situations, may do SO to their hearts
content.
With the first week of real drama,
the various members of the company
appear In the lines which may be ex-
pected to be assigned them during the
eason The men OF the com pany look
husky enough to handle all Sorts OF
roles, while the women seem from the
first glance to be able TO more than
please,
The performance last night showed
destined TO become great star. She
had grown at least ten years in q
week. and compared favorably with
her elder sisters. Miss Fitzpatrick is

while Charlotte Shelley and Fay
Wheeler will prove good foiis, with

character women
Edward Arnold gives every indica-
ton of being able 10 meet the de-
mands OF a leading man. while Sedley
Crossman Brown shows signs OF being
n comedian of some ability. Jack
Crosby is a good juvenile. George
Wellington a good second man. and
Robert Lance starts out as charac-
ter man.
The heat and the rain doubtless had
much to do with the attendance, which
