Company,
PHILLIPS. The -Orpheum
Stock
Repertoire at the Phillips.
Antlcinations in reference to the
'Orpheum Stock company at th3 New Phillips this week are not beinj disappointed, 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 appreciation.. 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 actor 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.

Guy Stock Company Gennett.
The Guy Stock Company will ap
pear at the Gennett theatre all next
week, opening on Monday evening
with "My Jim," a play peculiarly
suited to the versatile talents of G
Carlton Guy, assisted by Miss Inez Mercer and an exceedingly clever ard 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
voune manasrer. has succeeded in
putting together one of the bsst rep
ertoire companies on the road this season. The famous Worderful Six
will appear at each performance. Notwithstanding the enormous expense, the prices will be 10, 20 and
30 cents. Ladies free Monday night
under usual conditions.
"Babes in Tovland'

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 understand 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 interest. Then again, Julian Mitchell has staged in tfr? most superior manner the work of these famous collaborators. All in all, "Babes in Toyland," 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 company of players engaged in the present 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 Ross whose work as Alan is one of tha delights of the piece.

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. Hornaday In relating the incident, "and, although 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 season. At the meeting of the Central League to be held in Grand Rapids within a few weeks, it will be determined 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 Include 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.

self in front of a moving freight train

Negro Shot Himself.
Roanoke, a., Oct. 17. John Hardy,
