"The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" Gennett. The S. R. O. sign is displayed at every performance of the bis Drury Lane spectacle, "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast", at all cities played by this great attraction this season. The success of this great spectacle J:-s not hard to understand. It is an

Kngliah pantomime of monster pro- J

portions, Americanized with the lat

st humor and slang of the day, and

so filled with entertainment of every

grade, from the mas.sive ballet,

"Beauty's" Awakening" (easily the most bewildering stage picture of rerent invention) to the lightest of

specialties, that it appeals at one j

Koer. The scenic setting is massive; the costuming of such sumptous pro

portions and character that it is hard to Imagine who suggested all the j combinations unless he or she was

si designer ol wall paper, and tne music both original with the composer and that which is interpolated is pretty and catching. Another potent reason for the preference shown this big entertainment is the excellence of the cast which has always been kept out to the 'top knotch." Many managers would send out "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast"

on the road, depending entirely upon j

its scenic and costume display to create the sensation. Not so with the managers of this big attraction; thoy have been in the theatrical business a year or two too long to tnut to anything so uncertain. In consequence, the program presents the names of reputable artists, who have proved their ability by winning praise in other productions. The combination is one which it would be bard to duplicate. This production will be presented at the Gennett next Saturday matinee and night.

Scene frcm "The Black Crook" at the Gennett next Monday night.

"The Black Crook" Gennett. The Osier-defying spectacular extravaganza, "The Black Crook" is to be the attraction at tlie Gennett, next Monday night. It is over forty years ago that "The Black Crook" was first exhibited to an anxiously expectant audience at the old Niblo's garden in New York City, and it has been a potent drawing card on and off ever since that time. Its present managers, Messrs Miller and Plohn, have rejuvenated it and put it before the public in a manner that i3 said to have revived all its one-time popularity. L,ast season it had a particularly successful tour of the country, so much so, in fact, that they have decided to again offer it. in an evon more elaborate style than last year. One reason for the vogue of "The Bl?ck. Crook" is, aside from the fact that it awakfA fond memories, is that it possesses a story that is both j Interesting and instructive. It would j

hardly seem that it could be necessary to again relate the tale, bit no doubt there are some of the yo r.i jer generation to whom it is not familiar. The "Black Crook" is a nickname that is given to Hertzog, an old necromancer who has made a compact with the evil one to return to him an innocent soul once a year, for which service he is to be rewarded with an additional twelve months of life. A single soul, a single year, is the compact. The plot revolves around this idea and details the efforts of the old villian to bring to hi3 master the innocent maiden Amina and her youthful lover, Rudolph. In the end, of course, he is outwitted and is obliged to pay the penalty of his crime and is consigned himself -to the fate which he designed for his wouldbe victims.

MONEY FOR ATHLETICS

EARLHAM STUDENTS' PLAN

Will Ask the Board of Trustees to

Raise the Tuition and Have the Ex

tra Money Thereby Secured. Used

for Athletics.

New Phillips Theater. Swain and Powers, German comedy sketch artists, appearing at the New Phillips vaudeville theater this week are certainly creating a good deal of comment, as they produce an act that keeps the audience in an uproar of

,' laughter from the time they appear on the stage until they finish their act, It is alone worth the price of admission, and Richmond theater goers 'should not miss this treat.

Fortifications Bill. Publishers' PrcssJ "Washington, Jan. 17. The house rasncd the fortifications appropriation Mil. No "amendment of any kind or nature ar made changing any of the arnounfs carried In the budget. The measure carries $3,411. 8S3, which is 357,893 more than was appropriated for the same purpose last session of congress.

At a meeting of the Athletic associ

ation at Earlham college yesterday

the students discussed the advisabili

ty of having the trustees raise the tui

tion $1.50 per term, this extra amount

to be applied toward the support of

college athletics. This plan is followed by a large number of the Indiana colleges and has proven to be a successful solution of the finances.

The students are all admitted free to the college games and have no additional expenditures to make. Earlham has long felt the need of better financial support for her athletics and has been somewhat crippled by the lack of it. Under the plan that has been projected, over thousand dollars a year could go toward athletics, which is several hundred more than is spent now. This money would go toward better gymnasium equipment and better suits for the athletes. Earlham will hereafter suport a base ball team, which will necessitate new suits, etc. j The students are heartily in favor of i

the plan and will present to the boariK

of trustees a petition asking that this extra amount be added to the tuition.

It is the common expression you hear applied to the house that is well supplied with plants during the winter months. They lend an air of comfort to the home and remind one of the balmy days of the warmer months. A fern is especially an attractive plant for indoors during the winter. Practically everyone in Richmond possesses either a Sword fern or a Boston fern, and have enjoyed having them about. Knowing the great popularity of ferns, therefore, the Palladium obtained the exclusive right to offer in connection with the paper three of the Whitmanii ferns to each sibscriber. The Whitmanii fein is a variation of the Sword and Boston ferns and completely outshines them in beauty besides being as hardyThe Whitman!' fern is an ideal indoor plant and has only to be seen to be wanted. If the solicitors have not yet visited you let tne Palladium office know and a sample Whitmanii fern will be sent to you as quickly as possible, together With the terms under which you may obtain it. .

tPublishers Press. wasmngton. Jan. 17. Wnen the senate met Thursday Senator Blackburn offered an amendment to Senator Foraker's Brownsville resolution, disclaiming any intention on the part of the senate to question the president's right to discharge the negro troops. Senator Foraker opposed the amendment and addressed the senate, denying the president's power.

Mr. Foraker, who took the floor to conclude the speech begun Wednesday, said he supposed the compromise resolution presented by himself Wednesday was satisfactory and he contended that consideration as to the question of the power of the president should be postponed until after the investigation. He had not intended, he said, to discuss the question of power, but the amendment seemed to make it necessary for him to go into that subject, which he proceeded to do. Mr. Foraker said he has been contending and is still of the opinion, that the president is supreme as commander-in-chief to command, but can make regulations only according to law enacted by congress. He reviewed the positions taken by Senators Knox, Spooner and Lodge. It was a surprise to him that the Massachusetts senator, above all senators, should have taken the position that the framers of the constitution had the Eritish system in mind, when they wrote- that instrument. He said Mr. Lodge should have had the tea party and Bunker Hill in mind. Mr. Lodge took the position, said Foraker, that the president was given the same power as commander-in-chief as the king of England. He quoted Alexander Hamilton in opposition to this view. "Hamilton held," he explained, "that we were not only trying to escape from kingly power, but from the assumption of any unwritten power. The fram rs of the constitution knew the danger of leaving anything to be inferred." Chairman Millard of the senate committee oil interoceanic canals made puTTc the report of the interoceanic canal commission on the boring at the

Gatun dam site, which was furnished In response to a request from the committee. The report includes a state- j

ment from the chief engineer, J. t.

Stevens, in which he says 127 holes

were bored at the Gatum site, and all

show that the lock walls will rest on firm and suitable soft rock. He also says 63 borings, all extending to rock,

were made across the valley of the Chagres covering the dam site, and that previous material was found in

only four holes and below 200 feet.

At the Peiro Miguel lock walls there were 10 borings, all showing rock suit

able for foundation.

"Niggah, gimme chaw terbaceh," is

I the demand that Anse Roberts made of Frank "Wadkins, when he met him on the street the other afternoon. Wadkins and Roberts are both ebony iued descendants of Ham, and the

former's failure to "come through"

with his "plug," was the cause of heat-

! ed words.

The affair was ventilated in the city

court yesterday morning when Roberts was called upon to answer to the

I charge of having committed an assault upon the person of Wadkins.

The fact was also brought out that he

had threatened to carve that gentle

man with a keen edged razor. Roberts eventually went to the county bastile with an assessment of $5 and

costs hanging over his head.
