Vaudeville at the Phillips.

It must in all candor be said that Short and Shorty, who are at the New Phillips this week, are far from being the least feature on the bill.

They put on a novelty musical turn and also carry a line of dialogue and capers that are mirth provoking. "Shorty" does not belie his name for

he Is about the "shortest" article, as

far as stature goes that has ever ap

peared on the Xew Phillips stage and Insisted on being called a man. He declars that it does him no good to save his money for should he accUmulaate millions he would still be "short. The vaudeville bill this week is proving highly satisfactory because every number is deserving of favorable comment. The Davenports, with their musical comedy sketch; Edmonds and Haly, singing and talking comedans; Creo, the climax of the work of the illusionists; the motion pictures and the illustrated songs, all combine to please and entertain. Iast night, in addition to the usual vaudeville, ten rounds of the Cans-Nelson fi?tt, in motion pictures, were presented and election returns were received. Today there will be a souvenir matinee, on Saturday a special matinee for children and on Saturday night double performance. Thursday night vaudeville will be suspended to make way for burlesque.

Burlesque at the Phillips. An unexpected explosion of fun In the New York Subway will be exploited in the New Phillips Thursday night. "The High Flyers," a combination of farce, vaudeville and burlesque, will hold the boards for one night only, and the show from all reports which Mr. Murray has received from brother managers, is said to be a merry go-round of fun. The curtain raiser, "A Female Seminary," is one of the cleverest travesties ever produced and Interpreted by pretty girls and real funny comedians. Six spec ial vaudeville act3 recognized in the leading American and European music halls are also Introduced. The bur Jesque. the scene of which is an exact reproduction of the Twenty-Third street Subway station in New York, is replete with side splitting comedy situations, magnificent costume3 and all the latest popular song hits.

Missed Run; Ends Life. Roseville, O., Nov. 6. Word has .been received here of the suicide of Harry L. Brown of this city, at Cannon City, Colo. Brown, it is stated, missed his run as mail clerk on the Florence and Cripple Creek line, and feared the loss of his position. Hisr father is in the postoffice department at Washington and young Brown was a veteran of the Philippine campaign, having been a member of company D, Twenty-ninth infantry. Flywheel Burst. Wheeling, W. Va, Nov. 6. A 30foot flywheel, weighing 80 tons, of the Whitaker iron works, burst, scattering heavy metal every direction. A great s' ctlon of the roof of the mill was blown off, heavy pieces flying 500 feet against neighboring plants and on the hillside, while the floor of the engine room was driven into the ground. Fortunately, the workmen had sufficient warning to make their escape. Campbell's Son to Wed. Hamilton, O., Nov. 6. Announcement was made of the engagement of Andrew Campbell, oldest son of former Governor James E. Campbell, to Mies Lillian Hudson of Cleveland. The wedding will occur early in the spring. . Mr. Campbell is head salesman for the Bloch Tobacco company of Wheeling, W. Va., and will take his bride to that city to reside. French Interested. Paris, Nov. 6. Never before except

In a presidential contest has an elec- j tion in the United States attracted as ! much attention as the electoral strug- j gle ending Tuesday. The French j papers were filled with accounts of ; the canvass of the . United States and j the issues, and the result of the balloting in New York state was awaited ;

The oldest voter, not even the men who cast their ballots for William Henrv Harrison in 1840. can recol

lect of an election day that was quite so balmy. With the temperature hovering in the sixties from morning until early" evening, the voters could not lay claim to being hand'eapped by weather conditions and the stay athomes had to admit that their apathy was due to lack- of interest. When the polls opened at 6 o'clock there were genuine rushes in some of the city precincts, in which many factory men voted. For almost an hour the voting was brisk, then it lopped off as suddenly as it began and from that time until noon the pollbook holders were not overworked. At noon and until 1 o'clock there was another brisk period and then the afternoon lagged away until between 4:30 and 6 o'clock. In nearly every precinct in Wayne county Republicans and Democrats had vehicles in readiness to round up the voters at the last minute, but the Republicans had a better organization of this kind than the Democrats. Be

tween 4:30 and 6 o'clock complete lists of Republicans who had not put in an appearance were given to the party hustlers and efforts were made to bring these men to the polling places. In some instances the men could not be found and In a few cases they refused to go and vote when they were found. One of the unusual things in connection with the election was the almost total absence of loitering about the voting places. The election sheriffs in few instances had

anything to do in the way of keeping order, while the election inspectors had a few challenges to make. Fre

quently, in many of the city precincts.

voters presented themselves who be

longed in other precincts. There

seemed to be a great deal of confu

sion as to precinct boundaries and there were hundreds of voters who had to make inquiries as to the precinct in which they resided and as to the location of the proper polling place. Several challenges of voters were made because they had moved out of their precincts and were not qualified.

In a sermon at Knightstown to young" men. the Rev. Fred T. -Thorn-burg, formerly of Richmond, pastor of

the Methodist church, denounced the

! practice of "spooning." and warned

of his sermon was, "The Young Man

and His Sweetheart." The sermon

was one of a series treating on the

young men in his relations to the world, society, his home and his
