Senator Underwood In his usual engaging manner will talk to the boys in an informal way There will be few remarks by Senator White and perhaps from a few of the representa- tiNes of the press. J. R.

Turner is the chief executive. had absolutely notning m 1t bordering on the vulgar, while at the same time showing great many pretty girls in pretty costumes, amidst pretty scenic effects and with just enough of spicy ginger to fulfill the burlesque stand ard.
 Frank King was undoubtedly the head liner in the audience's heart last night, and deservedy so, for as a straight com edian and a singer of parts, he IS ex- ceptionally good. Mir. King won his ap- plause by work, clean and clear-cut, and his bass voice, a very fine one, gained encores on his every appearance.
 An exceptionally good feature, and novel one, was the pantomimic checker game played by Frank King and Billy Mulvany, peal after peal of laughter re- warding them.
 Rose Hoey Stevens, 'the California Rose" woman with a striking figure and an equally fine voice, the star of the comedy presented, was in poor voice last night, but even so, acquitted herself fairly well, largely due to the alluring costuming with which she presented her part.
 Ruth Gibbs, as Sally. a nut was more than good, being one of the best eccentric parts seen here in sometime and not only in her interpretation of rather difficult role, but in her ''nutty dance' and songs, never failed to elicit hearty applause.
 The same bill, with the addition of q sensational oriental dancer whose arrival was delayed until too late last night to go on, will be presented the balance of this week, a new series of acts from the next Columbia Wheel house, Cincinnati already being booked for the Grand for next week.

Wall also stated that those who would enjoy a clean, clever, burlesque show, free from the vulgarity which haG marked similar shows here in the past. would be cordially wecome-and those only

There is no dignity in tradition which has lost its practical energy, and our in- terest in traditions is that they should bear fluitage in the present and still richer fruitage in the future.
 Your society is particularly intended to conn emorate the circumstances of the birtL of this nation, but ] take 1t for granted that is not your thought to ere ate an exclusive company of those whose recollections by heredity run back to that great day, but that your thought is also of the constant rebrth of the na- tion In peculiar degree the United States seems to be reborn from genera tion to generation, because renewed out of all the sources of human energy in the world.

That metal Is the metal of nationality, and if you will not think l am merely playing upon words, l would like to spell the word metal in two ways For it is just the mettle of this nation that we are now most interested in.
 Proof of Greatness
 There are many tests Dy Wmcn na- ton makes proof of it's greatness, but it seems to me the supreme test is self possession, the power to resist excite ment, to think calmly. to think in mo IT ents of difficulty as clearly as it would think in moments of ease--to be ahso- lutely master of itself and of its for tunes
 T cannot speak. ladies, as you know, in more than general terms Indeed, ii in indiscreet for me to speak at all But 1 can ask you 10 rally to the cause which is dearer in my estimation than any other cause, and that is the cause of righteousness ministered to by those who hold their minds quiet aEd judge according to principle. We mus' rreserve the judicial temperament, noi because we would sit in judgment lpor others, but because we should ultimate ly wish to sit in judgment upon our selves, because we should ultimately wish to be justified by our own con sciences and by the standards Of oui own national life. Do you wonder that roping for such things and expecting such things from bodies of people liko this I should be glad to come and greet you? That I should esteem it an honor to say that I hope I shall have some part in the great things that you are trying to do and to create in the field of the national spiritT'

While his attorney, was arguing upon the motion to dismiss the complaint he leaned far forward in his chair, so as not to miss a single word.
 MT. Barnes also ignored his opponent when he first entered the courtroom. Later, however, he swung around in his chair and watched the colonel for several minutes MT. Barnes listened intently to the questions asked the first two jurors. and then occupied himself by making notes on a pad of paper While Mir.
