MINSTREL MAIDS AT
PULLMAN THEATER
Good Program of Singing, Dancing
and Fun Is Booked for Saturday,
January 81

Grace NJ. Russell and her Minstrel
Maids will be the attraction at the
Pullman theater on Saturday, Janu-
airy 81, and judging by press com
ments, it is a good one. The Ana
cOnda Mont Standard says of this
company:
"They please and satisfy the hun
ger for amusement and entertain
ment Glass and talent are displayed
in every number, but with studied
stimulation of indifference that adds
to the charm, because it adds % the
naturalness of acting. few weeks
ago it was Butte's pleasure to well
come the Minstrel Maids, and the
greeting last night was no less cor
dial. Come when they will, the girls
viii always be welcomed here.
There was in the efforts to please
put forth by Miss Flo Russell more
than the expected amount of consci-
entious endeavor. Miss Flo could
get by with more pretentious
company, but this is not saying that
she is not surrounded by good ones.
She is, and they all did their share.
Miss Mayme Prayer, her fellow END
man" in the minstrel scene, is
clever little coincidence, who knows
how and tries to please. All through
the dancing was exceptionally good
and the singing was above the aver
age in an entertainment of the kind.
The tango was capably eXemplified
and a hearty appreciation of Miss
Prayers and Miss Tompkins' efforts
was shown.
There remains suspicion that
several of the girls are good joshers
-impromptu as well as by line.
Their jokes were neatly turned, and
most of them we're new"

To the Officers and Members of the
Various Locals of the Whitman

ings:
The annual meeting held at Albion
was decided success, both from the
standpoint of attendance and interest
shown by those present. The annual
report of our secretary treasurer
showed us that our membership had
increased one-third during the last
year and that we are stronger than
ever before. But we are not salts
fled with what we have. There is
plenty of room for growth and, as
this is the time of year for organi-
cation work, State President Crow
and myself will make tour of the
county during the latter part of this
month and the first of next in an eff
fort to double our membership. Will
you help US? The dates for the
various meetings are listed below.
lCGIoC llOliCc the udI6 LOT your local

an all-day meeting, open to the pub
lie, and make an effort to get every
body out.

CALL FOR VOTES ON
$4,000 BOND ISSUE
City Council Passes Ordinance Pro-
viding for Betterments and Addi-
tions to System and Calling
for Bond Election

The electors of the city of Pullman
will soon have an opportunity to vote
Tor or against The issuing OF bonds
not exceeding $4,000 for betCer-
ments and additions to the city water
system. the city council having passed
an ordinance enumerating the pro-
posed improvements and calling the
election, at its meeting last Tuesday
evening. The plans of the city faith
ers include the construction of a new
concrete pump house on the site of
the new artesian we'll near the Alton
hotel and the installation of a new
pump or pumps of sufficient capacity
to serve the needs of the city for
some time to come. 1t is the opinion
OF several of the councilmen who
have investigated the proposition that
all electric pump of 100 horsepower
which would pump 1000 gallons per
minute, would provide ample power
for many years.
1t is also planned to place an ele-
waited tank of about $4,000 gallons
capacity on a site near the w. II.
Kincaid residence on College hill
which is considered the highest point
on that hill. This is necessary to
relieve the water scarcity on College
hill, which has been serious handi-
cap to the water patrons there for
several years, especially during the
summer months, when water is usec
for irrigation purposes. In case the
voters favor the improvements and
additions it is probable that all the
old mains in the business section
would be taken up and placed on Col
lcge hill, where the pressure is light
and new mains placed down town,
where the pressure is heavy.

One of the Best knights OF
PythiaS Homes in the
State

lodge No. 20, Knights Of Pythias
went to ColtaX Wednesday to attend
the services incident to the dedica-
ton of the magnificent new Pythiau

The new Pythian temple is unques.
tionably one of the most magnificent

cepted by the building committee of
the ColfaX lodge. The temple is a

and den, as we'll as layatories and
cloak rooms, and the big lodge room

members of the Colfax Pythian lodge
and the members of the order in the
entire state unite in extending CON
gratulations.

Extraordinary Musical Attraction

New York Sun, March SILL
He cOlors tone with great skill he
sings with delicate and eXquisitely
planned nuance and he enunciates
clearly. Above all, his singing is
vitalized by imagination and musical
sensibility and showed him to be
a master of the style in which De-
busy writes.
Minneapolis Morning Tribune,
January 10, 1912-Mr. Clark is one
of the worlds greatest interpreters
of "Lieder."
The Times, London, November "a
The intensity of his dramatic per-
ception and extraordinary power of
expression made the whole recital a
most vivid musical experience.
Birmingham, England Evening
Dispatch-Mr. Charles Clark, the
Am erican baritone, seems likely to
create new epoch in the title role
of Elijah. No Elijah of our recollec-
tion comes near him for sheer drama
tization and highly vitalized realiza-
ton of the Prophets part. One i'm
AGNES that after Mr.. Charles w.
Clark, all other Elijahs will fall lit
tie flat
Chicago Daily Journal, April 10,
l912-Charles w. Clark was a YER
liable tower of strength. He has a
splendid voice, he sings at once with
power and refinement, and his
enunciation is a pleasure to the ear.

The recital by Charles w. Clark,
baritone, at the college auditorium
next Wednesday night, should be one
Of the best musical attractions ever
heard in Pullman. No male singer
OF his high rank has ever been heard
here, and the college committee is
fortunate in being able to secure him
for this appearance.
Mr.. Clark is an American, but has
resided for a number of years in
Paris. His great ability as a concert
singer is probably better known in
Europe than in AnIerica, as he has
made many appearances throughout
Germany, England, and France.
His program for Pullman is an ex-
ceptionally interesting one and no
lover of fine singing should miss the
opportunity of hearing it. The col
lege committee desires to make it
known that it should be one of the
best musical attractions heard here
during recent years.
Mr.. Clark's pianist will be Mr..
Gordon Campbell.
A few press notices follow:
New York American, March 81,
1911.-Whether the song was the
terrible "Erlkonig" by Schubert, or
the most delicate old air, Mr.. Clark s
presentation proved him a versatile
and gifted singer of unusual taste
and ability.

Years Old

Washington, Dec. Rear Ad-
miral Alfred T. Mahan, u. s. N, re-
tired, acclaimed in naval circles as
the greatest modern writer on nav
al strategy" died at the naval hos
pital here yesterday, aged "a years.
Death was due to hear trouble. The
admiral had been in feeble health
for several weeks but he was not
taken to the hospital until last Sat
urday and it was not generally
known that his condition was criti-
cal.
Admiral Mahan had greatly over
taxed his strength in study of the
present great European conflict and
1t is thought that the many long
hours he devoted to following the
naval operations of the belligerents
probably caused the breakdown
which fastened his end.

FOR DOUBLE ELECTION BOARD
Get More Officials or Voting Ma
chimes, Sessions Recommends

Topeka, Dec. 2.-Charles Ses-
sions, secretary of state, who goes
out Of office in January, will ask
the legislature to provide a double
election board system for Kansas.
He will also urge the use of voting
machines where this is practicable
and not too expensive.
Wherever the voting machine is
not used the double set of election
judges and clerks should be pro-
vided," Mr.. Sessions believes. 1.-THE
payment is made now upon the
number of ballots cast at each vot-
ing precinct and 1t usually takes all
OF election night and the next day
to count the ballots in any precinct
where more than 100 ballots are
cast. The pay of the clerks and
judges could be divided 80 that all
would be paid for a days work and
It would not cost q cent more than
It does at present and would save
the long hours of the officials"
