ALEXANDRA HAS BIG NIGHT.

Last Thursday night the Alhambra
Gymnastic Club gave the first vaude-
Vile show to be held in the Folly The
atre, and there was a record crowd in
the big showhOuse that night. Long
before the vaudeville acts were
brought before the curtain standing
room was at premium. Some of the
best talent in the city offered their
services for the benefit of the Alham-
bra and those who patrOnized the
show were given their moneys
worth.
During the evening the Hon
Charles Brownlee. on behalf OF The
Herald, presented the medals which
we're won at The Herald Athletic Fete
on Thanksgiving Day. All of the
young men responded to their names
and had their medals pinned upor
their proud breast in front of the ap
plauding audience.
The vaudeville numbers were par
ticularly pleasing and special men
ton should be made of the New Or
leans Comedy Cops, who ceTtalnl,
made good. This was the same &C
that played at the Orpheum Theatr
a few weeks ago.

CAN'T FIND CAUSE
 FOR BURSTING OF
 BIG EMERY WHEEL
Coroner ExOnerates Grapho- phone Company in Death of
 Happy Jack" Marinck.

Nearly dinner time, boys called John Happy Jack Marinc< to his shopmates in the polishing room of the American Graphophone Go. factory just before noon time Friday. A few minutes later the men he called to heard a report like a cannon and they say Marinck stretched ten feet away from the emery wheel on which he had been working. The wheel burst, part of it flying and striking Marinck with terrific force in the face and chest. That afternoon he died in St. Vincent's hospital where he was h11r- ridely taken. Friday had surely been an unlucky day flor the man because o whose cheerfulness and good nature his fellow worknen had dubbed Hap py Jack.''
 Marinck was 23 years of age, unrnar- ried and lived at 525 Gregory street. He had worked at the GTaphophone Greek and. had been in this country two years.
 = Today Coroner Phelan after hea14ng the testimony of Edward Br11ndage, the employment agent at the factory, gave a finding that MaEdnckss death was accidental and due to no contrib uting negligence of the company NEr. burst some time and aseyet no remedy had been found to prevent slzch accd- dents.
 The bursting of the rapidly moving polishing wheels is ascrfbed to various causes. Sometimes they are driven at fastened too tightly to the shafting which causes tension, sometimes there is flaw in the wheel. The wheel Ma rinck was working on had been In use several months and it is claimed there was no flaw in 1t.

Hotel Atlas Baths Reopened


 It is a surprising fact that the pat ronage of the Hotel Atlas Turkish Baths has nearly multiplied by four since the renovation of the baths which took place a very short time ago; surprising because the patronage was so heavy before the work began Tn fact, several persons have remark ed in the last few days that t'the At las Turkish Baths can't be beat''
 Everything is now as tcIean as the operating room of a hospital and as pleasant as it can possibly be made Nearly all of our equipment has been entirely replaced, by new goods, in cluding new beds in the dorrnitory, oceans of snowy white linen, luxurious bath towels, and nearly everything a person could wish for in the way of accommodation. It is needless to state that the patrons are given the same unexceIIed service that has all ways been rendered by the best of at tendants-
 The entire place has been covered with two good coats of paint, and to top it off, the painters put on a. third coat of the best white enamel paint A person who had not visited the baths for nearly a month would hardly rec- ognize the place as being the same, all though only the furnishings have been changed extensively.
 Beautiful new carpfts have been placed on the floors, kaeping the feet from coming in contact with the hard surface The re-n1tration plant has been renewed and the water in the plunge is as pure as crystal at all times The plunge is Changed daily, thereby keeping that sparkle of pure, clean water, which adds so greatly to the general atmosphere of the baths.
 Those who have not yet taken an Atlas Turkish bath should do so at once, and ."once taken, always taken" !"
