brought the evenings pleasure to an
end.
A cabaret smoker Is something of
a novelty In this district. but as a
unique means of affording an even
ing's entertainment for crowd o.
good fellows, it totally eclipses any
thing else that was ever attempted in
Ely.
Scarcely a vacant chair was Wis
ible when Mr.. Morgan started things
moving with his song entitled. This
Is the Life" for somethIng). though
arrangements had been made by the
committee in charge to accommodate
upward OF $50 guest; and certainly
no one who had the good fortune to
be present at the opening left before
the close.
Before discussing the various
stunts" presented by the more tai

Williams and Schiller made their
debut with banjos in the characters
of Huerta and villa, respectively.
They made their getaway before be-

The more pronounced 'hits" of the
evening We're "CandlelIght. by An

any particular. there being also
plenty of the stun that cheers to-
make mankind forget his trials and
tribulations. The AFFAIR was a great
triumph for Elkdom.
