"f'm over u million to the good, +"

And thats pretty good. ehH
The story OF Al. Woods'B humble
beginning gyes back to the ten

picturesque Bowery. Here II IL hs l

Mr.. woods was walking down the
Bowery one evening desperately try
ing 10 doviso ways and means OF
bpealSlng Into the theatrical business
when IN Idea came 10 him. II was
nothing more than a title, and the
title was "The Bowery After Dark !
"That would mako n great show,

but he had neither the show nor
the money. He had simply ambition
the Willingness 70 taRe a chance and
the belief that he could persuade
others 70 take a chance with him. 30
he went to a printer, explalned tht
situation and persuaded him 20 make
n set of posters and Autographs ac-
! eording 70 his own ideas OF what the
play should be-. Then he took ths
autographs TO Theodore krsmer, snS
foremost writer OF the popular mcao-
dramas. and asked him TO write PLAY

sented, Mr.. Woods then persuaded

When the popularity Of the 10, 30
and s0.cent nieiodrpma began to
wane, Mr, Woods decided 70 embark
on g. enterprises. "rhe Girl In the
set the pace. Then, to Introduce HIM

flourish, no spent $4,000 IN laupchng
one of the most elaborate musical
comedies that Broadway had seen hp
20 that time. But on the night OF the
New YORK premiere. the prifnA donna
lost her voice dnd Mr.. Woods's thou
sands went gllmmering. So much
for "gypey Lovoi"
Shortly afterward Mr. Woods
walked into HammerHtelti's Victoria
Theatre and saw Jullssa Ettinge. Il
struck him that the man would make
good business proposition on the
Legitimate stage. Again he was mo,
with derision and again he."took q
chance" lie signed loug-term
contract with Mr.. Eltinge, spent t35,-
900 on production. and With THE
FRsdinatlnE Widow" began one OF
the most prosperous adventures in
contemporary theatrical history. Until
his retirement from the stage a year
ago, Mr.. Etinge was q fabulous
money maker both for himself aud
Mr.. Woods.
When the Eltinge Theatre waR
completed, some SIX or seven years
ago, Mr.. Woods began to look around
for n play with which to open the
house. He had spent something like
100000 on the building and he
shared the general superstition OF
Broadway that the first play contrib
utes materially toward the subse-
quent success Of theatre, William
A. Brady had Just produced "within
the Law" In Chicago. Mr.. Woods, to-
gether with the Shuberts and ths
Selwyns. took over the play and put
Il into the Eltinge Theatre. where II
scored the greatest melodramatiC
success OF years.
Probably one of the best examples
Of Mr.. woods's propensity for talSinp
chances Is Potash and Perlmutter.'
At the time Montague GLASS; Yid.
dish stories were popular, various
managers had bought the dramatic
rights, but subsequently they losl
heart and abandoned them. Their
Mr.. Woods bought them. He tool
them to Charles Klein, who thought
30 little of them that he refused q
dramatizo them. But Mr. Wood,
persisted, and Mr.. Klein, for the pur-
pose OF dlsuadinR him from what ~

 Another mysterious fact in the case is that the consignment of clothing which arrived yesterday was presum- ably shipped at the same time as the special car loaded with supplies. The ordinary shipment arrived; the car did not.

An option on a store building at 221 North First street has been taken for the municipal store. but until the arrival of the car load of supplies the store Itself will not come into existence.
 The municipal store. aimed as an attack on the high cost of living. is to be stocked with more than $30,OOO worth of surplus army supplies, to be sold by the city at cost plus expense The carload of stock apparently now in Prescott, and composed of beans and blankets, with small quantity of can ned beef. is a part of the army SUD- ples ordered for the store.
