It was also said that there had been quarrels between Dr. Brouwer and his wife over the administration of her parents estate.

Henrietta Lee with "Piff Paff Pouf," at eth Gennett. AT THE THEATERS "Behind the Mask" Gennett. The leading character in the nota ble play of western life, "Behind The Mask" which is at the Gennett to night, is typical of many men of ability attached to the mining camps of Colorado in the early days. During his youth he gambles and leads a generally reckless life, and in a quarrel with his partner thinks he has killed him. This incident plunges him into disgrace later on when his old associates of the camp from a crime combine behind masks of social stand ing. The author has seized upon thfs opportunity for a series of strong scenes, and with typical American characters has produced an excep tionally worthy drama. Vaudeville at the Phillips. Gaylor and Graff, comedy boomers in "The Tramp's Mistake," are a feature of the bill being put on at the Tew Phillips this week, combining amusing situations, songs and a lively dialogue. Harlan and Rollison. original musical grotesques, also have a good turn, playing a variety of in- ' 4 e. .ine Gennett Wednesday night. struments with ability and going the whole a comedy setting that is well received. M. H. Julian, who is advertised as an upside-down dancer, is more than that, as he gives a splendid exhibition of bag punching, using his head, elbows, and feet, as well as his hands, skillfully. Patchen and Clifton have a comedy acrobatic sketch, the former twisting himseir into many difficult shapes. The illustrated songs Boy Days" and "Somewhere and the motion pictures "History of a pair of Trousers," "My. Hat." and "My Uncles Testament" are pleasing features. All told the bill is a deserving one that patrons of vaudeville will not neglect to see. "A Desperate Chance." Gennett. Aubrey Mittenthal's "A Desperate Chance" company said to be one of the most thrilling melodramas ever produced, and one which has won renowned success wherever produced is from the pen of Theodore Kremer, who is also the author of many ortbe biggest melodramatic successes now on the English speaking stage.. In "A Desperate Chance" which will be the attraction at the Gennett Friday night- there is never a dull moment, for the principal incident utilized is 1 44 tea.

Harlan and Rollison, Musical Go tesques, at the New Phillips this week. the remarkable escape of the Biddle Brothers, the Pittsburg murderers. "Little Johnny Jones" Gennett. George M. Cohan's celebrated must cal comedy sticcess, -"Little Johnny Jones" is booked'for a return engage ment at the Gennett Wednesday night. The Yankee Doodle comedian's play has been presented here before and its merit is well known. It is not difficult' to solve the problem of "Little Johnny 'Jones" success. It is a fascinating' play with- a tangible plot a bit melo-dramatic at times, per haps, but this adds spice to the performance," around which Mr. Cohen has woven so delightful a web of melody, that the song numbers are being whistled and sung all over the country at the present time. This season's cast contains practically all of the principals which surrounded the author in the first production. "Piff Paff Pouf" Gennett. Much interest is being manifested over the approaching engagement at the Gennett of last season's big musical comedy hit, "Piff !-Paff Pouf!" For a year past "I'm the Ghost that Never Walked," "I'm so Happy," "Cordeliia Malone," and other musical gems from "Piff Paff Pouf" have Adele Rafter in "Little Joh y Jones," been whistled and played all overthe country. Therefore,, to a large degree the music of the production is familiar to. most theatre-goers. No musical comedy has been presented in many years that has attained such an enormous degree of popularity as was attested last season by its phenomenal run of eight solid months 'in Xew York City at the Casino Theatre four weeks in Philadelphia and six weeks in Chicago, and several weeks in Boston. TWO EXCURSIONS SUNDAY The Pennsylvania railroad will run an excursion to Dayton next Sunday, with a round trip fare of seventy five cents. An excursion wrill also be run to Cincinnati with a round trip fare of $1.25. As these two excursions will be among the last run on the Pennsylvania this season, and perhaps the last for all time, it is quite probable that they will attract a large crowd. Owing to the new 2 1-3 cent rate which will go into effect November 1st. the officials of the Pennsylvania railroad say that all popular excursions will be done away with and the patrons of the old time excursion will have to pay the regular fare.

"COLOMBIA" Net Dieindined to Recognize the Republic of Panama. New York, Oct. 8. Dr. Enrique Cortez, who has been appointed by President Reyes of Colombia as minister to the United State6 to succeed Diego Mendoza, and who is stopping here, said: "We are not disinclined to recognize the Panama republic, but there are certain terms-to be complied with first. Colombia has done well under the wise administration of President Reyes and his task of reconciling to the government the opposing elements and reorganizing and strengthening our finances has been highly successful, and after some years of turmoil we are at last assured of a long term of peace. Colombia is anxious that there should exist between her and the United States a spirit of comity and friendship even greater than at present." . Alleged B!ack-Hand Murder.
