A SMALL CROWD SEES THE BEY

LAST NIGHT'S SHOW WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER WITH ANOTHER COMEDIAN. MISS CLARA CLARK THE HIT Program Announced for the Phillips Is Folly up to the Standard of the House. The production of "His Highness, the Bey," at the Dennett last evening, pleased a small audience. The music, particularly, was catchy and pretty. The show was well staged, with good costumes, and 'good .scenery. Another comedian who has a better sense of humor, and a few minor changes in the cast, would work wonders with an otherwise ex cellent comic opera. Miss Clark, one of the chorus girls, was given the "Gypsy Sons" to sine last evening and her solo was the hit ot the evening. Miss Clark has one ofthe best voices in comic opera cho rus and although she has not long been behind the footlights, bids fair to soon carry a leading role. She is pretty and stylish, with a stage air which lends an added attraction to her playing. Next Week at the New Phillips. Comedy will again be the predom inating feature of the vaudeville bill to be presented at the New Phillips next week. Three comedy acts have been secured by Manager Murray. Bryant and Saville will appear in a blackface turn, the Lynns put on a sketch and Harrison brothers will put on an original comedy, "The Old Maid and Rube." This assures that the comedy portion of the bill will not suffer, while added will be hand balancing, illustrated songs and the motion pictures. Advance notices indicate that all the performers have established reputations and have made good in vaudeville. The detail ed program for the week is as fol lows : Miss Grace Miller, overture. Otto Weaver, hand balancer. Bryant and Saville, blackfaced comedy artists. The Lynns, comedy sketch. Cal Lankert, illustrated songs. Harrison Bros, in their original comedy, "The Old Maid and Rube." The Philoscope, showing "Through the Matromonial Agency" and "A Pleasure Trip." Tonight's performance will con clude one of the best weeks in the history of the New Phillips. It is ex pected that standing room will be the only thing available shortly after 8 o'clock. . Manager Swisher of the Gennett, has announced the engagement of the Hamlin & Mitchell "Babes in .Toyland production for next Tuesday night. Manager Swisher has several times assured his clientele thatjjbenever he could do so, he would ndhesitate in booking the highest class attractions possible to visit Richmond. The great success of "Babe in Toyland" produced by a company of seventy players, and requiring two solid carloads of scenery and effects for proper presentation will certainly be the j event of the theatrical season here.I I The book is by Glen MeDonough and the music is the work of Victor Herbert, and this company was drilled and trained in its work by Julian Mitchell. It is for the. local theatre goers to prove their willingness to support such a high class production and thus make the task of Mr. Swisher all the easier in future strong bookings.

JOT GOAR SIGNS FOR 1906

WILL BE FOUND IN CONNERSVILLE UNIFORM AGAIN. Popular New Lisbon Pitcher To Hold Down the Initial Bag and Pitch If Possible. Jot Goar ,the pride of Jimtown and Connersville, has affixed his name to a contract to play ball in this city during the season of 1906. The duly executed document was received by Manager LaRue this afternoon, and filed in the archives of the Connersville Baseball club. By the provisions of the contract Goar is to play first base for Connersville and in the event his arm rounds to form he will oecupy the box on such occasions as it is deemed necessary. Jot is a splendid batter and a very fair fielder, although a. little slow, and clumsy. .His selection to play first base, however, will prove popular with the fans and .the manage ment will be commended for using their best endeavors to procure his services. Connersville News. INDIANA ROADS STORE GOAL. Preparing for Threatened Coal Strike of April 1 Panhandle Loading Up at Logan. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 23. The Indiana railroads, at least, are preparing for a strike in the steam coal fields, April 1. All of them have begun to acumulate a surplus of coal. For three weeks the Vandalia has been accepting between seventy and 100 carloads of coal in excess of its ordinary demand, and is storing it here and at Seeleyville. The Big Four has filled all of its ordinary storehouses and has laid a temporary track on its Cincinnati division just east of State street, and is dumping coal there, and is storing unusual supplies at Terre Haute and along its Michigan division. The Pennsylvania is loading up strong at Logansport and at its other centers, and the Monon and other routes are laying in an extra supply. The L. E. & W. is storing Hocking Valley coal at Tipton. HAS $50,000,000; SHE LIVES SIMPLY MRS. WALKER OF PHILADELPHIA, FOLLOWS HETTY GREEN'S EXAMPLE. LIVES OVER HER STOREROOM Rents the Mansion House in Which She Might Rule as Social Leader. Philadelphia, Feb. 23. In line with her ideas of unostentatiousness and frugality, Mrs. Anne Weightman Walker, one of the richest women in America, will live over a store. She intends to convert the old Weightnian mansion at 1336 and 133S Walnut street into a paying proposition, and from rentals to add to the $50,000,000 left her by her father, the chemist. The old homestead stands in one of the most desirable locations in the city. The fact that it yielded no returns and that the taxation on it is very heavy has not been pleasing to Mrs. Walker, and she has decided to have the basement and first floor converted into stores. She will occupy the upper floors. In strict economy of this kind, Mrs. Walker is very much like that other rich woman, Mrs. Hetty Green, who frequently finds it advantageous in a financial way to live over stores she owns or in small apartments. Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Green have something else in common each has an income of about $2,000,000 a year. The fact that Mrs. Walker will make this use of the homestead property has disposed of the story that she wished to become a social leader and would use the old Weightman mansion as the scene of social func tions. Mrs. Jones Wister, who has brought suit against Mrs. Walker in an effort to break the will of William Weightman, by which Mrs. Walker received the entire fortune, remains the social leader, while Mrs. Walker keeps the millions.

YERICES ESTATE DROPS TO HALF

REPUTED $15,000,000 MAGNATE MAY NOT BE MORE THAN $6,000,000. LARGE FIGURES FICTITIOUS May Wipe Out the Project to Build a Big Hospital in New York City. Chicago, Feb. 23. Startling reports have reached the ears of Chicago financiers that the reputed $15,000,000 estate of the late Charles T. Yerkes, is fictitious. . That it will not aggregate . more than $6,000,000 is a report credited by Chicago bankers who have had occasion to make an investigation of the former traction promoter's holdings. In view also of pending litigation which threatens to wipe out much if not all of the value of the Yerkes Consolidated Traction holdings in Chicago, the estate of the millionaire may not amount to more than $5,000,000, r one-third of the fortune he is supposed to have willed to his beneficiaries. This information is declared to be based on accurate information. Since the death of Mr. Yerkes much of the supposed values of traction stocks in Chicago and London are declared to have dwindled to an enormous degree. This situation has placed in jeopardy the gigantic. New York hospital project which the late traction king had provided for in his will as a monument to his memory and which has caused considerable of the friction that has resulted since his death among the beneficiaries and trustees of the estate. That the estate of Mr. Yerkes could not truthfully be quoted at $15,000,000 was admitted last night by Attorney Clarence Knight, who represented Mr. Yerkes during the closing years of his life and who drew the will disposing of his property. "There never was any authorization for the statement that the Yerkes estate would amount to $15,000,000," he said. "There was nothing: in the will to indicate that such was the aggregate value of the estate. The $15,000,000 figure was a fictitious figure. Where it came from I don't know. How it came to be generally credited as a fact I do not know. As to whether the estate will amount to more or less than $15,000,000, I have nothing to say." When the Yerkes will was filed for probate in Cook county last week, showing his Chicago holdings at a valuation of only $3,200,000, local financiers expressed surprise. That was the first intimation of the prob ability that the Yerkes fortune was beinar exeatlv overestimated. Since then it has been learned that London properties which Mr. Yerkes was believed to have controlled will amount to comparatively little and this has led to the discovery that the $15,000,000 mark will tome far from being reached when the affairs of Mr. Yerkes are finally adjudicated. Sometimes it pays to talk, espec ially when you get a dollar for a sentence or two. Try to win the Palladium nes "tip" prize.
