STATE HOUSE
Next Meeting Of Governor Council Friday NJ

William st. Clair is in Skowhegan
Jail serving a sentence imposed for
violation Of the prohibitory law. He
will not leave that institution at the
expiration OF this sentence for the
following reason:
st. Clair in April, 1921, was con-
vieted in Somerset county Of viola
lions OF the liquor laws and was sem
fenced to fines and four months i'm
prisonment, with four months addi-
tional IL the fines were not paid, for
an unlawful sale and two single sales.
He was committed on April S, 1921.
He last July petitioned the Cover
nor for a pardon. A hearing was
granted and on Aug. II the Council
committee on pardons report in favor
of conditional pardon. The war;
rant for his release was signed by
Governor Baxter on April 10. 1921.
II was but n few weeks before st.
Clair was again under arrest for a
similar offence and that is the reason
why he is again in Jail. The fact was
reported to the Governor and in con-
sequence OF st. Glars violation of
his parole, he has been ordered back
10 Jail to serve out the full length of
his first sentence.
That he will do it is quite probable
considering that he is already in
Jail.

Revue at Opera House Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday

Musical comedy at the Augusta
Opera House for three days next
week-that is the good news that has
just been announced and it looks as
if the people of Augusta and the sur

entertainment such as they haven't
had in a long time. \
Drake and Walker and their Bonn
Bay Girls company will be the at
traction. Drake is whole show in
himself, but he has a company with
him that is sure to make Augusta
talk. Not the least attractive portion
of it is the big Southern Creole beau
ty chorus which is said to be one of
the prettiest on the road, and will
colored people enjoy themselves.
Buck and wing dancing, cake walk
ers, Jubilee singers. and you will
scream at that misfit quartette. Miss
Ethel Walker is the prima donna, and
when you hear her chirp. you will
surely say she is sure-enough
Southern song bird.
The Drake and Walker company
has been selected from the best COL
ored talent YOU will ever have a
chance to see. And this company
carries it's own band and orchestra,
and will give free band concerts twice
daily in front of the Opera House.
Three musical comedies will be
given during the stay of the COM
pany in Augusta, that being on Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week.

be feature picture starring Claire
Anderson "Who Am II" 1t is a
Selznick photoplay in six parts, di-
rected by Henry kolker. 1t is a.well
staged. handsomely photographed

time the musical comedy will be
staged, and after the musical comedy
the feature picture will be screened.

Full Ceremonies
Used When Foch
Became an "Indian"

E Bismarck, n. D., Jan. Gall the
mystery OF the Indian understanding
of life, earth, water and sky entered
into the ceremony in which the mem
bers of the Teton tribe of the Sioux
named Marshal Foch and smoked
with him the pipe of peace, accord
ing to Melvin r. Gilmore. curator of
the North Dakota Historical Society.
In the rush of completing the cere-
mony within the allotted few min
utes, a wrong Interpretation was
placed upon the name bestowed by
Red-tomahawk, according to Mr..
Gilmore, who had the Indian chief
repeat the name after the ceremony,
that he might be certain of having it
correctly placed in his historical rec
ords. Marshal Foch is placed in the
mythology of the Tetons as Charging
Lightning, the words for thunder
and lightning being almost the same.

of the event says in part:

cation of ton-Dakotas from the

points his audiences. Hence it fol-
lows that when his latest picture,
"Cappy Ricks," based on Peter B.
Kyne's famous Saturday Evening
Post stories is given at the Colonial
theatre today. Mr.. Meighan will add
another delightful morsel to his long
list of picture successes.
Mr.. Meighan is excellent as Matt
Peasley, a seaman's mate, who falls
in love with and wins Florrie Kicks,
daughter of the irascible Cappy. He
proves his mettle as a man in two or
three capital 'fistic encounters which
take place in the development of the
story. Altogether, his portrayal is
one that is enjoyed by everyone.
Agnes Ayres is charming as F1orrie,
while Charles Able is wholly artistic
in his portrayal of Cappy. The sup
port generally is Of the highest stand

TREAT FOR MUSIC LOVERS
Erika Morini, vioIinist, to Appear il
Portland,

Patrons of the Portland Organ
have but slight conception of the
wonderful treat in store for them
when Erika Morini, the great woman
violinist. appears as special attrac-
ton at City hall at s J.. NJ. Thursday,
Jan. l..
Miss Morini appeared in recital in
Boston few days ago and of her
program Philip Hale OF the Boston
Herald SAID:
Miss Morinis tone is rich and full,
Of truly beautiful quality. Her tech
meal proficiency in these days of as
tonishing young fiddlers, no doubt
even the woods are full of them, need
not cause remark: it is taken for
granted. Mere technical proficiency
may exist without torial charm. Miss
Morini casts spell, not only by the
quality of her tone, mellifluous, but
not effeminate. not saccharine, for it
has body as\well as beauty, but COM
mands and holds attention by the
thoroughness and inevtableness of
her phra sing, by the refinement and
eloquence of her lyric expression; by
the dash of. her bravura. -
she may have been advertised by
passionate press agents as 'sensa-
tional,' but her sincerity and her alb
sorption in the performance, her mod
est behavior on the stage refute that
charge"
The organ recital by Edwin H. Le-
mare, municipal organist. will be of
the Lemare standard which insures
all patrons of a highly entertaining
evening. Each soloist is the leader
in their chosen field Of musical en-
deavor.

tons as there will be a heavy demand

Standing Rock reservation of the Da-
kota nation. The leader of this dele
CATION was -tomahawk, who GER
| emonially presented a pipe to Mar
shall Foch, and also conferred upon
| him q name in the Dakota nation.
| In his speech to the Marshal he said:
| MY friend: The first time l ever
heard of the great general, Marshal
Foch, was at the time when VIC sent
our young men to France. AZ that
time l never thought that ! should
ever see the great general; but today
I have the honor and the pleasure to
see him, and I am glad. The young
men of the French nation and young
men of the Dakota nation fought to-
gether in the same cause against our
common enemy, and some of both
nations died together in that struggle
and were buried in the came ground
"Then he held up the pipe and
said: Among my people, the Dako-
tas. it is our custom to offer the pipe
and smoke togetheE so in like
manner ! wish to smoke with the
Marshal and to give him this pipe as
token of friendship. Now the
meaning of the pipe and its parts
are these: the pipe-bow is made
from catlinite, red stone which is
found only in southwestern Minneso-
ia. The stone in this use signifies
firm and lasting friendship. The
pipestem is of ashwood, and signifies
that our friendship shall be durable
and unbroken. The hollow of the
pipestem through which we draw the
smoke is straight, signifying that the
words proceeding from our lips shall
be just and true, and that our paths
shall be straight. The colors of
these ribbons upon the pipestem also
have their meaning. The white sig
nifies that all former differences are
cleared away, and we shall be can
did friends. The red ribbon is the
color of blood and signifies that we
are all of one blood
Then Red-tomahawk held the
pipe first to the North, then East, to
South. and to the West: then aloft to
the Sky. then downwards to Mother
Earth. This was a form of invoca-
ton to all the Divine Powers.
HE then lighted the pipe and drew
upon it, and then offered the mouth
piece to the Marshal, who also drew
upon it and then to Major WEIGH.
Red tomahawk was obliged
to abbreviate the ceremony because
of the lack of time. He also abbre-
waited the explanations of the SYM
bolism for the same reason. II time
had permitted all should have been
seated upon the ground.
The material for smoking. with
which the pipe was filled, was a'mix-
ture of tobacco and the inner bark of
a native shrub. species of dogwood.
Cornus stolonifera.
Tobacco Is invested with some
thing of mystery and sacredness in
the Indian thought, and was used
economically in the manner of in
cense.
AFTER delivering the pipe to Mar
shall Foch, Red-tomahawk declared
Ills desire and purpose to confer upon
the Marshal the honor Of a name in
