Eddie" Ross and Neil O'Brien's min :
strels returned to the Odeon Thursday
evening and did practically capacity
business. The audience enjoyed every
minute of the performance. and from
this time on O'Brien need have no fear
of drawing. 1t took a few seasons for
the minstrel-going public to get &c
Quainted with the O'Brien brand. but
now that it has been sampled it will be
relished once a year if the present
standard is maintained.
OiBriens show outranks anything
else in the minstrel line that comes
to this city. and has since Mr.. O'Brien
started AT the head of his own aggre-
cation four seasons ago, yet until this
season the greeting was not what the
company merited.
Eddie" Ross, premier banjo soloist.

worth the price of admission, and was
given a most hearty welcome. Ross
work on the banjo is artistic, as is also
his whistling solo with banjo accom-

a most pleasing finale was medley Of
old and new songs by the entire COM

The second part was filled with non
sense. which appears necessary to
Minstrel shows. ard some OF it was
really funny. Mr. Ross appeared in his
other clever banjo speciality in this
part, and the dancing formed an inn

George Manusch. manager of the
Clinton Pilots in 1915, has formally
applied for the job again next year.
according to advices from Clinton, but
is meeting with little or no encour
agement from the Clinton directors or
fans. Manusch was an applicant for
the Marshalliown management, and it
was understood when he applied here
that he would not be retained at Gin
ton.
Manusch has now come forward to
offex his services to the river town.
which has been angling to land for

out success. 1t is said at Clinton that
Manusch will not be signed for an
other year.
According to the Clinton papers Jim
Drohan, the mainStay of the Pilots
pitching staff last season. is regarded
favorably for the management, Drohan
having filed an application for the po-
sition. Drohan was q favorite with
the members of the team, and was
popular with the fans. He has been in
the game twelve wears. but has never
had the mana cement of club. 1t is
possible that Drohan may be the Gin
ton choice. but his selection will be
something of an experiment..

Bridgeport, Conn, April 27.-Ar-
X thur Hearn Cowl. of New York, died
lot midnight last night in local hos
pital from q bullet wound in his
head. According to the story to the

The police version is this: Cowl
came from New York today and went
to the Wheeler residence in STRAIT
ford. near here: spending the evening
with Miss Wheeler. He gave her an
engagement ring, but before she
could say anything he handed her
the en- dot ribbon. The other end
sof the ribbon was attached to the
trigger Of q revolver which Cowl had
concealed under his coat.
Miss Wheeler asked what the rib
bon was for and Cowl replied that
It was q surprise" At his request
she pulled the ribbon which caused
the revolver to discharge and the bull
let crashed into Cows brain.
& Miss Wheeler summoned help and
Cowl was taken to the hospital.
Cowl recently had returned from
Q trip to Bermuda, where he went to
from nervous break
down.
