MIRTH AND MELODY
 ABOUND AT GRAND

It is styled a fiighty, frivolous, fro licsome fantasy, with first factor fun, fast and furious, and under this iNA troduction, 'The Globe Trotters." James E. Cooper's de luxe musical comedy opened up @ weeks engage
 nent last evening at the Grand thea
 ter, before an audience thoroughly pleased with the performance in every respect, judging from the ap- plause that accompanied the efforts of the entertainers. The management of the theater during the course of the evenings entertainment announG- ed that several strong bills are com ing to the theater during the next few weeks, and as a starter the work
 of "The Globe Trotters," sets a stan
 dard that will force the coming shows
 to "step some" if the entertainments. are to excel that of this week. Every thing that goes to make burlesque a favorite attraction is included on the
 program. -.- .t.
 The performance is in two parts the first being entitled, "The Spenders'
 and the efforts of Moses Mandel (Ed
 Swartz) and Terry O'Toole, (George Hickman,) to rid themselves of their fortunes so as to be available to wed a wealthy heiress, is the base of a vehicle of fun which is ludricous. In
 the role of an Irishman Hickman
 gives a portrayal of a son of Erin
 in a finished manner, and his hand
 ling of the part at no time is over
 done Possessed of an excellent fa- cial expression, all that is necessary to draw a smile is to look at Hick-
 man and away goes MT. Gloom.' Swartz in a Jewish role provokes many smiles, and his ability to sing gets him in popular favor during the night For versatility, honors are easily in favor of George Hunter in the role of Irony Perrone," a waiter who won't live up to the requirements of his calling. Hunter has a manner of dispensing the Italian dialect which elicits plenty of deserved ap- plause. In the second act of the per- formance Hunter carries the brunt of the comedy role as blackface com edian, and does this as equally well as that of the Italian. ''Trotting Around" is the title applied to the second scene and is the occasion for some pretty settings, clever dancing by the chorus and specially work by the members.
 The much abused cigarette came in for some fine advertising when mem bers of the chorus dressed up to rep resent various brands, while Miss Davenport rendered a song fitting to the scene.
 One thing that can be said of the troupe is the fine capabilities of the female members of the cast, Misses Virginia Ware, Elsie Lavedau, Julia Clifford and Flo Davenport. Some of the hits that strike favor with the audience are, You'll Always be the Same Sweet Baby" by Miss Ware and MT. Ortmeier; "I've Found Someone to Chase the Blues Away" Miss Cliff ford; "Dixieland" Miss Davenport, and "A Little Bit of Bad in Every Good Little Girl" Miss Lavedau. '- presented by Swartz and Clifford, Hunter and Davenport and the Isabella sisters bring forth long and vociferous applause. The sisters act consisting of selections on the violin and guitar is of a high class

The great sale of Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound all over this land is the result of genuine merit. The reason is that this good oldfashioned root and herb medicine actually helps those suffering from the ailments peculiar to women. If it did not, would not the women of America, have found it out in forty years, so that few of them would buy?-advt.

Making up is so wonderful that i+'s worth while to quarrel" she said we never love each other so much as just after quarrel. It's like the wonderful sunshine you get after a thunderstorm has cleared the air" She turned to the Lady who always knoWs-somehow Don't you think so?"
 But Think Of the Damage Thunder
 storms Do.
 The Lady smiled. Don't thunder storms sometimes do damage that not even beautiful weather afterwards can compensate for?" she asked. Then, from about the tape measure in her work basket she produced an elastic band. eff I stretch this band way out it comes back with a snap" she said. That a quarrel-you stretch your relationship and it proves it's strength by coming back with a snap. But if you go on stretching 1t, 1t won't come back quite so strongly and by and by it will lose some of it's resiliency and by and by little more. So, if you want to keep it strong and resilient you mustn't stretch it any more than you have to. That's the way l look at 1t.
 The last years bride looked thought fully. "I wouldn't have 1t lose its strength for anything on earth,' she said.
 1T don't think there's much danger" smiled the lady.

BATTLE EMPLOYERS
One of the strangest situations
that has ever existed in the history
of American union labor has ap-
peared in the Chicago Court Report
ers' Federation. Bosses and employ
ers are in a majority in this union;
workers are hOpelessly Outnumbered.
There are about a hundred odd
members, mostly employers of other
reporters. About 80 of the members
are workers. The union is composed
of these two factions.
The working faction accuses the |
emplOyer-repOrter members of being
regular ''sweat-shOp" bosses.
The employer-repOrter, they claim,
uses the union to obtain big report
ing contracts and then employ both
union working members and non
union working reporters to do the
work.
A large number of working report
ers refuse to join the union where
their employers can vote down any
motion made to better the working
conditions.
The emplOyer-members, it is al
legged, charge itigants anywhere
from 40 to so cents a page, and Is to
so cents for carbon copies, and an
additional 81 an hour; and then they
pay their working members only %
cents, with varying discounts off per
page, from to 5 cents a carbon,
and 81 an hOur-Oftentimes keep

SHIFT is MADE In
THE SEMI-WIND-UP

Local fight fans are awaiting
anxiOusly the sound of the gong at the
Maryland Athletic Club on next Monday
night when Andy Cortez, the Manhattan
sluGger, is slated to travel a fifteen
round route with Willie Houck. the
Mount Airy, wildcat.
These boys have both appeared here
against Tommy Lowe and have always
given a good account of themselves
Houck is a twO-handed fighter, with A
punch in both hands and he has a style
Of bOaring in at all times which pleases
the fans. Cortez is known for his
ruggedness and is a fighter that Is at
all times trying TO hand the kayo tally
tQ his opponent. Cortez will arrive here
Thursday afternon and will finish out
his training here.
Matchmaker Freeman made a little
shift in the semi-wind-up bout Bill
Clark was compelled to cancel his fight
here with Jack Moran because of having
a battle on in Pittsburgh on Saturday
evening. and Freeman has obtained the
services of Sailor White. White was
beaten by a close margin in his last
start at the club. but he feels confident
that he can hand a trimming to Moran.
The final arrangements will be made
on the preliminaTies today. Turk Smith,
who hung the kayO on Joe Blackburne in
the third round a few weeks ago. will no
doubt be pitted against Blackburne in a
return match.

WESTERN TEAMS
APPEAR CLASSY
Fielder Jones Has Gathered
Quite a Strong Combina-
tion-Groom Boosts.
GALLlA WORKS TODAY

The Western teams of the American
League made a fairly good cleanup
Yesterday upon their first appearance.
Cleveland being the only club to lose
decision to their Eastern rivals.
Thanks 10 Boston. the Cleveland In
dlans were summariIy halted in their
mad flight, and the Nationals by los
ing to the Browns missed a fine op-
portunity to pull closer to the top and
regain some lost ground.
From what Fielder Jones showed
the local fans yesterday the Browns
are undoubtedly stronger than last
season, although this club could do
very little against Harper when the
southpaw was steady.
Jones evidently does not believe in
the theory that left-hand hitters are
easy meat for southpaw hurting, for
he kept Shotton, Johnson. Miller and
Sisler in the game and every one Of
this quartet hits from the left side OF
the plate.
The writer had a chat with Bob
Groom last night and Sir Robert is
loud in his praise of the team Fielder
Jones has collected Said Groom:
We've got a dandy club this sea
son. one that will win whole lot OF
games l look Tor a close race and a
driving finish, with one of any four
or five clubs in the fight for the pen
nant. l doubt If the American League
ever claimed such an evenly balanced
set of teams"
According to Sir Robert all Of the West
ern teams are strong and evenly bal.

and Cleveland Indians.
