The -Orpheum
Stock
Repertoire at the Phillips.
Antlcinations in reference to the
'Orpheum Stock company at th3 New
Phillips this week are not beinj dis
appointed, for the company is proving
a capable one and the patronage is of
a liberal nature. The fact that the
company has vaudeville features in
addition to its repertoire is a point in
its favor, as New Phillips patrons
have been accustomed, to vaudeville
for so many weeks that they find it a
difficult thing to break the habit of
attending. This week they are getting
repertoire and vaudeville at popular
prices and are showing their appreci
ation.. This afternoon "The Church
Across the Yv'ay" will be - presented
and tonight the bill will be "College
Chums." Mr. Arthur Chatterton, who
heads the company, has verified the
claim made for him as to being an ac
tor of ability, and of much promise.
Miss. Marie Freeh, in soubrette roles,
is the equal of any one seen in this
line at the , New Phillips in a long
time.

"Babes In Toyland" Gennett.
A most happy blending of comedy
jusic and e 'travaganza has accrued
'from the efforts of the author, com
poser and stage manager of "Babes
presented at tha Gennett Theatre
next Saturday matinee and. night.
The amusement portion of our public
will have r.n opportunity to witness
one of the most successful plays of
the present dramaf.c season. The
piece is a pastoral on the lines of
'Shore Acres" and "Way Down
East" butcontains stronger attrac
tions and more thrilling climaxes than
any other bubolic drama. The
thread of the story is woven around
a beautiful young girl, who -is 'lured
they are of exceptional strength, they
are at the same time natural. The
cast is a large and competent one.
The electrical and scenic effects will
be found as near pe tc as stage in

evenly balanced company of dramatic
and vaudeville artists comuosel ;f
CO people, including a band and or
chestra of great musical ability.
Mr. Charles W. Mercer, the rising

night with the result that there is bright in dialogue, rapid in action,
not a dull moment in the performance.
When one has heard tire beautiful
numbers of the score provided by
Victor Herbert, it is easy to under
stand why from a musical standpoint
it has become so popular with the
public. In addition to Victor Herbert's
charming music, Glen MacDonougb.
has furnished a book of unusual in
terest. Then again, Julian Mitchell
has staged in tfr? most superior man
ner the work of these famous colla
borators. All in all, "Babes in Toy
land," as produced by Hamlin and
Mitchell reaches the top round of the
theatrical ladder and furnishes the
public a novel, instructive and vastly
entertaining presentation. The com
pany of players engaged in the pres
ent production of the play in every
way equals that cf the original, in
fact many members of the original
cast will be employed, including Budd

Attorney Kline's Argument.
Findlay, O., Oct. 17. Attorney Kline
made the principal argument for the
defense in the trial of the Standard
Oil company of Ohio for alleged con
spiracy against trade. He made a de
fense of corporate enterprises and
justified the development of the Stand
ard Oil company. He dwelt particu
larly on the decision of the supreme
court of the state of 1898, declaring
the trust dissolved, and said "the
Standard Oil company of Ohio, since
November, 1S92, had not been a party
to the trust agreement, conclusive.
proof of which he said was the de
cision of the supreme ceurt referred
to.
Throng at Marietta.
Marietta, O., Oct. 17. The second
day of Marietta's big celebration was
attended by an immense throng of
people. The two new buildings at
Marietta college were dedicated. They
are Fayweather hall, a large dormi
tory and the library, which was largely
the gift of Andrew Carnegie. The col

was handsomely decorated for the oc

how he could get it. After a time the
baby elephant wandered off, and Mr.
Hornaday tried to creep noiselessly
through the jungle after it. But he
was heard, and before he could realize
his peril the branches which screened
the herd parted suddenly, and the huge
old female elephant was upon faim.
"She had sufficient distance to get
under full headway," said Mr. Horna
day In relating the incident, "and, al
though my breath stopped and my
heart stood still with sheer fright, I
yet realized she was the grandest liv
ing object I ever saw and the most
terrible. I knew it was folly to run,
for in a few strides she would have
been upon me. I threw my gun np to
my . shoulder and fired both barrels at
the base of her coiled up trunk in the
direction of the brain. She was with
in fifteen paces of me when I fired, but
the thundering report, , the smoke and
two zinc balls crashing into her skull
close to her brain stopped ker charge.
She sheered off suddenly and rushed
into the forest. There was a grand
crash in the thicket as the herd broke
away, and that was the last we saw
of it"

LEAGUE IS A POSSIBILITY
Whether Richmond Gets Organized
Base Ball Depends on Action
of Central League.
There still is a remote chance that
Richmond will be numbered among
the Indiana base ball towns next sea
son. At the meeting of the Central
League to be held in Grand Rapids
within a few weeks, it will be de
termined what cities are to be given
franchises. If some of the teams
drop out, as is anticipated, steps w ill
be immediately taken to organize the
new Interstate league which will In
clude Richmond, Ft. Wayne, Muncie,
Hamilton and other cities. Isadore
Mautner, of Ft. Wayne, organizer of
the Central League, is at the head
of the project. If is understood that
there is capital at hand which will
put a Richmond team in the field if
the organization Is perfected.
Duel Tragedy.
Maysville, Ky., Oct. 17. Thomas
O'Regan, a baker, shot and killed Mrs.
Becky Bradford and later threw him
self in front of a moving freight train
and was instantly killed. The couple

accused the woman of. associating
with other men. Immediately after
the shooting he fled and just before
the officers reached him he dashed in
front of a train and was cut in two
parts.
Negro Shot Himself.
Roanoke, a., Oct. 17. John Hardy,

day at a farm house about 10 miles
from here. In attempting to resist
arrest he shot himself through the
head, inflicting a dangerous wound.
As a precaution the mayor ordered
all saloons closed until further no
tice. A lynchins is not probable.
