ADJUSTMENTS
Neil O'8rien's Minstneis

Always 4 fayorite in Augusta "a well
as in other places, Mel: O'Brien with
his great American Ministries appeared
Thursday evening at the Augusta Op-
era house and drew an audience that
left Standing room only" in the thea
ter. The entertainment offered-a
blending Of fun. melody and new dane
ing numbers-was winner and was
most enjoyable throughout.
The setting of the first act was es-
pecially praiseworthy. the color scheme
being of gold and royal purple, not to
mention the black. Excellent taste was
shown in the manner in which the set
ting was arranged and the colors were
united to form a harmonious whole.
Many tuneful numbers were rendered
during the first part of the program,
among them being when Alexander
Takes His Ragtime Band to France"
and Roll on. Missouri" And the act
was closed with striking tableau en-
titled Uncle Sans Gunners, and the
vocal number what Have You Done q"
sung by Charles r. Wright and the
company.

the dance Of the young and spry and the
dance of the old and lame, featured this
part Of the m:nstrels and was accorded
warm applause. There was special
dancing by Miller and Dixon, eccentric
dancing by ''Sugarfoot" Gaffney and
acrobatic dancing by Fred Miller, and
each Of the artists proved to be a star
in his line.
"Meatless Day" was Mr.. O'Brien's
special presentation, an act which he
conceived and produced and which was
a great laugh-producer. The trials and
tribulations Of silent partner in i
restaurant business were set forth, and
no small credit for the success. OF the
act was due to Major c. Nowak, the
dwarf. who appeared as almost 4
cook"
A lawyer on his busy day was seen
in the act "Coontown Divorcons," feat
uring Vaughn Comfort and John King
as man and wife who never did live
happily and who were quick after a de
vorce decree. 1t was indeed a very hui.
morous number.
The performance was concluded with
one-act minstrel musical satire by
Neil O'Brien entitled 1.-THE Big Brother
Club" in which there were many roll
licking situations. The appearance of
Nyie Verne as Carmena, and the singing
and clever dancing. made a fitting finale
for most enjoyable evenings enter

Omaha. Neb., Dec. 5.-The strike

Omaha and Council Bluffs completely
tied up. Union leaders say the strike

Charles P. Taft has not paid such strict

After ~ years in the practice OF law,
Taft had made fair-sized fortune and
decided to enter the newspaper field.
This was largely the result of chance. A
friend who owned German paper in
duced the young lawyer to take $1,000
worth of his stock, 1t paid good divi-

profits, he bought an old daily ncwspa-

The father of the four Taft boys was
a d. stinguished judge. He was not,
howcver,-as wealthy as lac was famous,
but he was able to send all foup of his
sons to Yale, his alma mater. He left
but little money to his four boys, not
enough to enable Charles p TAFT TO III
dulge in his ambitious desire to study
i'll Europe. But family friend advised
the young man to invest all that he had
i'll a business opportunity. Unlike the
majority of such chances for quick re-
turns, this proved most fortunate and
yielded profit of 10000. Charles P.
Taft did not lose his head and risk the
sum that he had made. but promptly
sailed for Germany, where he took de-
gree at Heidelburg and also studied
languages in Berlin and Paris.
Returning to Cincinnati, he entered
into law partnership with a popular
veteran of the Civil war, but the firm
was dissolved when the senior partner
