ft IT THE THEATERS "Piffl Paff! Pouf!" Gennett. "Piff! PaffI Pouf!" I J. C. Whitney's great musical attraction, which comes to the Gennett Monday, night, is essentially a musical show, and comes to this city after a run of over eight months at the New York Casino. This company is one of the largest and most expensive musical organizations ever formed. and contains among the principal members such well known theatrical celebrities ,as Henrietta Lee, Denman Maley, Emilie Gardner, Chas. P. Morrison, Olive Woolford, Harry Watson, Lulu McConnell, Fred Hornby. Lulu Wells, Charles Purcell, Lisle Bloodgood, Louis London and others. Including a chorus of over half a hundred people. The songs are the features of the piece and are of a character that compels appreciation. In fact, there fs a song hit An the air all the time and they follow each other in rapid succession with a snap and go that is always relished. - "Strength of the Weak" Gennett. The Gennett will present for its attraction on next Tuesday night an emotional actress who, while new to this section, has been an established favorite for the past several years in the West, and who on the occasion oi her first New York appearance, at the Liberty theater last spring, became in a single night one of the most talk-ed-of stars in the long list that are Broadway favorites. She is Miss Florence Roberts, wife of the late Lewis Morrison, of Faust fame, and she will offer as her bid for local favor, what the program styles a modern play in four acts by Alice M. Smith and Charlotte Thompson, entitled the "Strength of the Weak." It is said to tell a daring stage story with the sex question as the basis, but so cleverly constructed and adroitly Vandled that not even the feet of the Idol are visible and the parts that lrave been assigned to the star are said to be the very best she has had In her long list of parts. . Vaudeville at the Phillips. A pleasing variety is offered patrons of the New Phillips this week in the vaudeville program and a liberal patronage is responding, as a result.

ODD all of its many details, there is envolved a drama that transcends all others of its kind. Such a drama or,i more properly speaking a melodrama, is "A Desperate Chance" J which Aubrey Mittenthal ' will offer at the Gennett Friday night. The subject of this production is taken from one of the most starring incidents in criminal history that the country ever has. known, the remarkable career of the notorious Biddle Brothers and, happily combining pathos and humor, replete with startling situations, such as the master hand of Theodore Kremer, the noted playwright alone can can portray them, makes a drama of deep interest. In the four years that it has been on the road, "A Desperate Chance" has lost none of its attractiveness and, in many cties, it has been seen time and time again by the same persons whose interest in the trials and vicissitudes of the characters has been unfailing. Indeed, in the seasons during which it has been before the public, "A Desperate Chance' has gained in strength. By constant reliearsal of their roles the players have become more proficient and more clearly portray the thrilling scenes that call for their best effyts. Aside from this, scenic effects have been added to the production until it stands pre-eminent in its class, ex celling both in dramatic form and as a spectacular play. ' DISCRIMINATION Charged Against Railroads by Lumbermen of Northwest. Seattle, Wash., Oct. 10. Alleging discrimination against the shippers of forest products in the matter of car supply by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railroad companies, and failure of both to keep their equipment, rolling s:ock and motive power tip to the demands of the business, the shingle mills bureau employed counsel to investigate the matter and ascertain the rights of the shippers in a case before the interstate commerce commission.

3 PACIFIED REBELS NOW SEEKING JOBS Leaders of Insurgents Wants PositionS Under"" Provincial Government. HOLD MEETING IN HAVANA EACH OF THE GENERALS IS SAID TO HAVE SELECTED THE BERTH HE WOULD LIKE TO OCCUPY. Havana, Oct. 10. Several leader; of the revolution arrived here frtfrc various parts of the island for the pur pose of attending a meeting at the home of General Eel Castillo. They would not discuss the object of the gathering, but it is said that the rebel generals intend to make urgent requests to Secretary Taft for official positions under the provisional government. They feel, it is asserted, that their hopes are vain unless they oice their ambitions before the departure of Mr. Taft. It is said that each of the generals has selected the position which he desires and will make a demand for it on the ground that Mr. Taft is under obligations to them for their assistance in disarming the rebels. Among the generals lcnowno .have been requested by telegraph to come here are Guzman, Ferrara, Nuchado and Guerra, and it is believed that others are coming. It is considered significant that the rebels who served under General Del Castillo have been instructed not to sell tireir horses, and it is feared that Del Casjtlllo has a wild idea of enforcing his demand for a position under the provisional government. Wednesday being the thirty-eighth anniversary cf the beginning of the 10 years' war for independence, the day was observed as a national holiday. The public offices, with the exception of the palace, were closed, as were many stores. The public and other buildings were decorated with Cuban flags. The usual parade of troops was dispensed with. The celebration was not marked by any great enthusiasm. The appearance, cf yellow fever at Cienfuegos caused the immediate issuance of an order by Colonel Barnett, directing that the American marines be removed from that city. The men were marched aboard the ships. Three cases of yellow fever have been reported here. ' Charles E.
