LONG TACK SAM IS
 LYRIC HEADLINER
Most Wonderfully Picturesque and Interesting Players Ever Seen on
 Stage in Famous Chinese Troupe

There are two reasons why the Lyric bill this week should be the cleverest en- tertainment that the house has had since the policy was changed In the first place three of the five acts this week are singing, dancing and comedy which all ways appeal to the Lyric audiences, and the other reason Is that the theatre Is offering the largest and most sensational Chinese act in vaudeville, the Long Tack Sam company of IA people In series of picturesque, startling, interesting feats which are hair-raising, extraordinary and daring to the extreme. The act is the largest and most expensive that was ever offered in the south for the Lyric prices. and is one of the biggest of all the Keith headliners.
 A look at the stunts to be offered will convince anyone of the truth of the claims. The opening includes jumping through knife frame embedded with sharp knives, and it is said that the Chinamen are the only people in the world so adept as to be able to accomplish this act. A variation of an inch means se- we're cut. The Manchurian war spear ex hibition is seen here for the first time and is offered only by special permission of the Chinese government. Feats of Chinese mysticism and Chinese temple legerdemain will reveal some startling and new ideas in magic. An exhibition in contortion said to be without parallel, will be another feature of the act, but the greatest of all will be the clever Chinese comedian and entertainer, Long Tack Sam, in an original offering in Eng fish. A thrilling exhibition in hair aero bation and a slide from the Balcony to the stage, hanging by the natural hair, will be thrillers. A novelty will be the plate spinning septet There are so many
 in the company that there is always something new and different going on on the stage
 The three Leghtons in "The Party cf the Second Part offer great singing novelty, during which the,s Wit, introduce their new song, "Jitney Jim," which IS the natural successor to Casey Jones and steamboat Bill" which they wrote and introduced. 1t is a song to which local color will be given by the team
 Lloyd and Adams, character comedians in songs talks and comedy, and Claire and Flo Gould. novelty singing and dancing act, will be the features of song and laughs that the audiences like bess and the fifth act of the bill will be Wal ter Walters, a clever ventriloqust ano comedian.
 ''COl. heezH Liar VIII pe Seeh III hc" ventures in the Pathe cartoon comedy fol this week and the Pathe weekly new. service will offer some now views of tn, European war and interesting events 0 the world over
 The Lyric offers a continuous per formance every night from 13o to 1o:3 O clock and the policy of come when yo, like and stay as long as you please T carried out successfully every night. Th matinees start at 3 o'clock instead of 2:S o'clock.

Browne. author of a constitutional amendment to impose tax of BIO year on hachelors of 30 years of age, and ad- vocate of moro strict reform laws, boasted to a fair lobbyist in the house yesterday that he was 40 years old and had never been kissed except by his mother

 This series of remarkable letters ol semi-official dispatches from ex-Consu Thompson constitute new and most i'm portant angle to the great war in Europe Much has been said and. written on th' merits of the subject, but for Americans we believe this to be the first impartia and comprehensive digest of the situation offered

A New York girl says she never knew she was in love until the object of her love tried to kill her in fit of murderdus rage
 Although the bullet sped by. his jealous frenzy has disfigured her probably for life release She said she was willing to
 marry her would-be murderer.
 Her reason for this curious stand is in- teresting. q never thought any more of Fred than of any of my other boy friends" she said. until he did this.'' l knew that he had been attentive. but l thought, when thought about him at all that he was just like the other boys 1 would soon have forgotten him. Be fore girl is 20 new faces bring new thoughts and interests. But when Fred followed me through the subway and shot me, and then shot himself | realized tha this was different He must love me a great deal to do this thought just before tainted"
 I hope the story of this girl and her strange reason for loving will not meet the eyes of many love sick young men. For the story established dangerous precedent. The young man. beset by mis- givings may choose to follow it. He may say: I've sent her flowers, I've made googoo eyes at her. I've copied verses from books of poems and sent them to her as originals, I've bought new suits and got fussy about hats and ties for her sake, and I've talked lot of mush. She seems as insensible as an oyster. Suppose shoot her.
 Better not try 1t. young man. Your aim may be better than that of the love crazed New York youth. Instead of-sending her flowers from another ward in the hospital, as he. did you might be planting them on her grave, or what is more probable, send : ing orders for them from a penitentiary. where you may be awaiting the final pen atty or serving a life sentence.

 By James K. McGuire. The Devin-Adair
 Co.,, publishers. No. 4x Fifh avenue,
 New York %*R
 ''The King, The Kaisers and Irish Free
 dom,' by James K. McGure, is thus dedicated" by the author.
 This book Is dedicated to the millions of men and women of German blood in this
 countrywide form the bulwar<s of Amer
 ican civilizaton-to Johannes Dekalb and Steuben, the heroic and efficient soldiers and advisers of George Washngton-ro
 the memory of Germans who fought with
 Andrew Jackson against England in the war of 1Sl2-to the German American he- roes of 1S4S-to the great numbers of Ger mans who fought for the freedom of men and the preservation of the American union in the civil war from 1861 to the year 1S65-to their children in the Spanish American war of 1s9S-to all the vast Teu- tonic elements of the United States whose efforts have placed our nation to the fore front in education and in all arts and scences-a noble people from whom Americans learn to be efficient and thorough-to the thrifty, useful, industri- ous, patriotic children of the fatherland. In Preface" the author tells his
 readers why and how the writing of this book was necessary.
 | He says:
 This book is made necessary by the l studied violations of neutrality on the part of certain Anglo-Amercan newspa- pers, by the msreprescntatio of the true spirit of Irish nationality at home and abroad, by the villificatlon of Germany, 1 the infamous distortion of the truth by various writers and above all, by the growing probability that this section of
 unfair America, by no means in a major I ity will destroy all hope of the United States becoming the arbter at the end of the European war. The German peo- pie must understand that the Anglo American newspaper Is without real in- 1 fluence among the people and that in tSis | war 1t does not represent the true state
 of public opinion.
 "The Cologne Gazette, perhaps one of 1 the most important newspapers in Ger many, declares that the atrocious false 1 hoods of the American press rers.er iu- I possible all hope of American interven- ! tion for peace and destroys all possibility i of America having part in the settlement l after the war, thus relegating our country
 to a most inferior position. We are re- l garded as vassal of England and have lost our influence as a neutral state I Bishop Won Keppler of Bavaria, the most eminent Catholic prelate of Germany, is quoted as confirming the view of the 1 Cologne Gazette, which adds.
 l American neutrality has been favorable 1 to Great Britain, and America has lost our confidence and must be rejected as an arbitrator

practical effect of his resignation at
this time, whatever we may think of
the correctness of his views on the

views by stumping the country.-Bal-

by Mr.. Bryan his resignation just at

that it is a farce.-Gaffne Ledger.
Really, Lave you been to Charles

ness. We recall on former occasions
wien the daily papers were favorable
to the administration at Columbia that
the impression was made that the
blind tigers in Charleston were put
out of business, and wien the papers
were not favorable the impression was
that everything was wide open. We
have made some investigation in the
past and we never saw mucn differ
ence in Charleston at any time so far
as the sale of liquor is concerned,
but we were under the impression that
now the blind tigers were sure enough
put to rout. Ed, you must be mis-
taken. There surely can be no farce
as to the enforcement of the law in
Charleston.
