One must not immagine it is all work and no play with the Labrador eskimos. Much to my surprise I found that our good old game of football had taken hold in Ungava. The game is played with a ball of sealskin stuffed with grass. The goals are placed much the same as in our own game, and each player is armed with a short-handled sling made of several thongs of seal hide bent in loops and attached .to a wooden handle. The ball may either be tossed in the sling, kicked, or, should the opportunity offer, picked up and carried. Rough tactice are not barred. I have seen a man tossed in the air and pitched head foremost into a snowbank, while pushing, tripping and blocking are all freely indulged in.

Washington, April 8. Under the impression that they were striking at the Standard Oil company, a substantial majority of the house of representatives, sitting in committee of the whole fixed the duty on crude petroleum at 1 per cent ad valorem yesterday afternoon. This is practically equivalent to placing it on the free list The ways and means committee had reported an amendment fixing the duty at 25 per cent, and this was to take the place of the drawback provision in the Dingley law, under which the government is authorized to levy a duty on foreign oil equivalent to the impost placed on American petroleum by other countries. - Qang Is Humbled. The committee's amendment " was drawn In response to pressure from the oil producers of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Kansas and other states In the Middle West, who have been strenuously insisting that this would be protection for them and not for the oil trust. But 30 republicans united with the democrats and humbled the republican organization by overriding the chair and forcing through an amendment offered by Norris (republican, of Nebraska, fixin the duty at 1 per cent. A statement by Kusterman (republican), of Wisconsin, that the drawback in the present law has proved to be a gift of about $15,000,000 to the Standard Oil company, had something to do with the result. Uncle Joe's Labor Lost. The contest over the oil schedules was the most exciting that has yet occurred. Speaker Cannon himself
played a sensational part in it. He
exhorted the republicans to stand by
the ways and means committee, and
he became so "het up" that he walked
over to Cooper, of Wisconsin, one of
the leading republican Insurgents, and declaimed pointedly and irascibly
about demagogues who were trying to
make political capital by attacking the
oil octopus. He , shook his long.
gaunt finger in Cooper's face, and the "Insurgent ducked as though he feared "Uncle Joe" was trying to poke out his eyes. : . Jeer at Speaker. It was a rare treat to see the septuagenarian speaker, his scanty hair all mussed up, and his face so full of fire, it looked as though it might start a blaze, delivering an impassioned appeal
to "his boys" to stand by the organization. At one point, when he said the Standard Oil could be hauled, into court whenever it was caught violating the law, there were jeers among som-j of the democrats, who, have "been
watching with interest the frantic ef
forts of the national administration to
bring the Oil trust to book. But as al
ready indicated, the dramatic partici pation of the speaker in the fight prov
ed unavailing and the committee on
ways and means was routed.
It ws an open question whether the
Standard Oil company will profit or
lose If crude petroleum remains at 1
per cent ad valorem, when the new law is finished. While this great concern
devotes most of its time to refining
crude oil, it already owns extensive oil
fields in Mexico and is a large produc er of the crude product. It is also un
derstood the Standard has a working agreement with the oil barons of Rus
sia and Southeastern Europe in regard
to their respective fields of operation
This statement has been made by the bureau of corporations, which not long ago concluded an investigation of the oil Industry. Still Has Friends. The expectation is that the senate committee on finance will pass a substantial duty on crude petroleum when it reports the tariff bill next weekv and thus the triumph achieved by the al liance of the republican insurgents ami the democrats in tke house, may go for naught.

The North Bros, comedians which come to the Gennett for one week starting Monday, April 12 is now in
its tenth successful season in - the
principal cities of the United States
and this popular company is acknow
ledged to be the best popular price attraction on the road and this season.
the plays are all new and never been seen here unless by a dollar and a half attraction. The company is headed by Mr. Harry Chapin North and Miss Virginia Goodwin, two as good people as you will see in repertoire. Their opening play Monday night is that famous English comedy that run for two years at the Duke of York theater London, England, "John Jaspers Wife." According to the old familiar custom one lady will be admitted free with each 30 cent ticket Monday night.
The city of Denver has gone into the publishing business on a small scale. "Denver Municipal Facts," an Illustrated weekly issued by the municipality, is being distributed. It will probably remind any New Yorker into whose hands a copy may come of our own "City Record" it is so different. It ought to have a good circulation, as it is free. The leading article In
the Issue of last Saturday was by the
city forester, who gave citizens d&

"The Great Divide." The pictoral side of "The Great Divide," in which Henry Miller's special company is to appear at the Gennett theater, April 21 is said to be strikingly fascinating. The first two scenes are full of the atmosphere and
color of the boundless West, prevaded
by the spirit of mountains and plains.
The first act setting represents a cab-
In on a cactus ranch in Southern Arizona. The second act shows "The Roof of the World," a wild, magnificent spot at the top of the Rockies. Here on the great Continental Divide is fought out the conflict between the hero and the heroine he, typifying the unfettered, lawless freedom of the mountain and desert, she, reflecting the Puritan ideals of her New England home. The grandeur of the scenes gives an almost epic background to this struggle of contrasted national temperaments of East and West
"Holy City." Salome, the daughter of Herodias.
the unlawful wife of King Herod, of
Galilee, is one of the central characters in "The Holy City," the tremend
ously successful religious drama by Clarence Bennett, which is. to be presented at the Gennett theater, on April 8. This is the same Salome who was the central figure in the play of that name which was written by Oscar Wilde and which was later set to music by Richard Strauss. The one presentation of this opera at the Metropolitan opera house in New York last season and the tremendous sensation which is provoked are still fresh in the minds of the general public.

"Paid in Full. The current theatrical season is one remarkably free of real dramatic suc
cesses, in fact the positive 'hits' might

Walter, just ceased its Becond year at the Astor theater, New York. The play was also seen in Chicagftfor five

"A Broken Idol." "A. Broken Idol," true to its name, is the idol of the people who flock to the theatre to witness the performance of this sensational success, which played to record-breaking audiences for nine months at the Whitney Opera house, Chicago. This farce is from the pen of Mr. Hal Stevens. The music is by Egbert Van Alstyne, a young man who has furnished a, lot of jingly, catchy tunes of lata that have won money for him and the publishers. He has given some irresistibly catchy songs to this musical
farce, and the result is they are being
whistled all over the country. Tha company Mr. Whitney has furnished
for this piece is a most capable one.
including, as it does.. Otis Harlan, th
rotund comedian, who is seen in the
role of Doc Whatt; George Richards,

Wee, a Chinese girl, Birdie Beaumont,

The New Phillips. The entire bill these last three days
is taken up by Arthur I Guy's Minstrels, a company of singers who can sing, and witty end who always put the finishing touches on all things which come their way. The cry can
not go out now that the New Phillips did not hand to the Richmond public that which they have been desiring for so long at a moderate admission, an J it is up to those who have been cry
ing to dry those tears, for the longed-
for has come. This fine company U headed by The Eagle Quartette, one of
the best on the road and these people were called back time and time again. There is no doubt but that there will be crowded houses to all of the performances.
At the Arcade. "Jones and His New Neighbors,"
Thursday.
We are wont to say poor Jones, but
are we sincere? For if it wasn't for
Jones misfortunes we would miss
many a hearty laugh. . There is one thing certain, no matter what trouble
Jones gets into he manages to wriggle
out of it like an eel. This time it
looked serious, but he bobs np serenely just the same. The Joneses have
moved and taken an apartment in one of a row of houses which are Identical
ly alike. The most natural thing happens; Jones gets into the wrong house.
and of course, his intrusion Is vigor
ously resented, and it looked for a time
he would suffer bodily injury, but as usual, the . menacing clouds dissipate and peace again reigns in the Jones' domicile. Eddie may get some hard
bumps, but they never scar. .
Mr. Evans will sing "Loves Me." the sons with the peculiar "time," which is a rare treat.
