from the general run of the latest
comedy dramas.
The story Is of wife, Kitty Con-
stable, who feels that her husband
is neglecting her too much, because
of his scientific work in his study of
the female sex. He spends large
part OF his time In the company of
Mrs. Alloway, who is a very inter-
ested pupil of John Constable. Kitty
resolves to follow some of the theo-
'ries of Mrs. Alloway in regard TO the
freedom and liberties of wife. and
in SO doing awakens her husband to
the true state of affairs. On the
verge OF getting divorce, they make
up. and the schemer, Mrs. Alloway,
departs, very disappointed woman.
Kitty Constable is Mics Scott,
while Jack Warner plays the part
OF the neglectful husband. Their
work last night could hardly be i'm
proved upon L. W. c.

While Manager Jack Dunn was up
in New York yesterday afternoon
trying to get number of choice
home dates at the meeting OF the
International League moguls, his
Richmond Ints were out at Broad
Street Park continuing their victo-
rious march at the expense OF Ray

though the score was but 8 to 2,
favoring the home boys. the Vir-
ginians should have had many more
counters, fourteen locals being left
stranded on the hassocks.
Whine the game was not the best
seen at the local grounds this sea

fast plays, both teams contributing
their share. The showing Of the

game, and II Ray Ryan's proteges

N,r "a
ideal day for baseball, as dark clouds
lowered over the baseball grounds
throughout the game and at times
the players could hardly see the poi-
let hurting through the ozone. Both
of the visiting pitchers, Applegate
and Osteen, possessed steam. In
fact. there was so much steam on
the ball that at times the locals were
unable to get their eye on the ad-
vancing ball. due to the cloudy
weather.
The local team got an early start
on the invading FASTENERS, but they
slowed up after the fourth stanza,

FEATURE OF LYRICS SHOW

Six eomely and talented young wo-
men, the Sisters Kirksmith, were the
big particular feature OF one of the
classiest vaudeville shows of the sea-
son at the Lyric Theater yesterday
afternoon and last night. At each
crowds gave the versatile artistes an
extraordinary reception. The girls
are not only singers of exceptional
caliber, but the sextette is verit-
able bower of feminine pulchritude.
The kiTksmiths give tabloid musi-
cale, embracing vocal and instI~u-
mental musical selections. The pro-
gram includes classical and popular
music Each Of the beautiful soma

several encores during their per-

Jennings and Evers, blackface CO.

different as one can imagine from the
dainty and charming musical num-
Der in which the kirksmtths appear.
They are fast and furiously funny
jokesmiths. but they scored dis
tinct hit. keeping the big audiences
in roars of laughter.

The l.smplnis. who open the show
with comedy and magic, have real

agile clown eontortionist. Together
they give remarkable performance.

PLATTsBURG, N. Y. Aug. s.-Fol-
lowing sensational allegations of a
"prison ring" plot to diseredlt Warden
Thomas Mott Osborne, of Sing Sing,
Governor Whitman and superintendent
of Prisons Riley were expected to de-
eide here today that Osborne should re-
main.
Friends OF the warden revealed the de-
tails of a scheme, startling In its daring,
which. they say, they are prepared to
prove had been arranged and failed only
because a saloonkeeper refused to carry
out his important part In II. The saloons
keeper told them, they said today, that
the back room of his saloon in Ossinlng
wns to be the scene Of "frame-up."
Women were TO be brought from New
York TO meet certain convlcts in this
back room and In the midst of a seeming
orgy a fiashlight photograph was TO be
taken, The result was to be a fearful
black eye for osborne's self-government
plan at Sing Sing and his certain dis
missal.
1t is also declared evidence has been
manufactured to foment diseord between
Riley and Osborne.

"a sudden and almost herculean display

Jesse T. Vogdes, chief engineer Of the
Park Commission, said today that he
had, force of laborers at work cleaning

inspector in that district reported that
the pool is being thoroughly cleaned. In
