It is announced from Cheycnno that
the Union Pacific will again nut on its
car of instruction for tho education of
its employes in tho handling of nir
brakes, in signals, nnd tho heating and
lighting of coaches.
It is expected that tho annual passes
to tho Union Pacific employes will be
issued next week. Tho older employes
will receive transportation good over
the entire system, others on tho Wy
oming nnd Nebraska divisions, nnd
still others on the division in which
thoy.nro employed, tho transportation
being based on tho length of tho ser
vice. The State Journal enthusiastically re
marks that "ono may now walk from
Virginia to tho Mississippi river, taking
a southwestern direction without touch
ing an inch of territory where liquor
may legally bo sold in saloons." The
comment was inspired by tho fact that
North Carolina, Alabama and Missis
sippi have, since January 1st been added
to tho states in which it is illegal to sell
liquor in saloons.

and Mr. Cosper will take the exhibit to

some extent being due to luck of 'in
terest because of the infrequency of
tuberculosis in our mist. Tuesday and
Wednesday practically all tho pupils in
tho high school building nbove tho fifth
grade were present. Those of our citi
zens who viewed the exhibit were much
interested, nnd it is probable that as a
result many will profit by what they
learned.

Since the announcement that tho fa
mous "Ronoy's Boys" are to give a
concert in this' city on Janunry 19th,
there ha b been unusual interest shown
in tho personnel of tho lnds who hnvo
astonished critical audiences in the
largest cities with their artistic render
ing of classical music. Tho boys seldom
have more than a rudimentary know
ledge of music when they aro placed
under Mr. Honey's instruction. They
aro chosen for their natural gifts of
voice, car, temporament nnd sympath
etic succcptibility to emotions inspired
by tho words and music. Unremitting
and exacting rehearsals do tho rest.
They are taught to understand tho dra
matic meaning of their songs, and gain

iroigm cars am not speii prosperity.
Tho number, ho said, wns almost ex
actly what it was last year at this
time. Mr. Halo declared ho hoped tho
railroads would have a car shortage bv
the latter part ot r.xrj. ue was unable
to report much progress in his efforts
to get the railroads to pool their freight
cars. Ilo insisted, however, that a car
pool was bound to como, hb it wns tho
only economical manner of handling
ireignt car equipment, and would re
duce the sharpness of future car short
ages.

The Burgomaster
Haijry Hormsen accompanied by
Fraulein Ru"t)i Whito will bo welcomed
back to town nt tho Keith theatre next
Thursday surrounded by a company
which is promised to be of superior ex
cellence. These stars will bo seen in
a big production of Pixley & Ludera'
musical masterpiece, "The Burgomas
ter". Mr. Hermson will be seen us
Peter Stuyvesant, tho jolly old ono
legged Governor of New Amstordam
who is buried while trying to cscapo
hostile Indians and who is dug up 200
years iaor in tne Ulty wail square in
New York, nnd Miss White, as Willie,
tho gay youth who takes him uround
town. The music of "Tho Burgomas
ter" is what has made it tho greatest
musicnl comedy success of the times. It
is a high quality, but popular and
perhaps no two songs have been more
widely whistled and sung than "Tho
Tale of tho Kangaroo" and "I Love
You". The story of the play is as fol
lows: Peter Stuyvesant, Governor of
New Amsterdam, wishes to bo released
and sent back to Holland. Tho Indians
and tho English aro pressing him; tlloy
ask for concession which he is unable
to give; ho and his secretary Doodle
Von Kull, prepare a keg of drugged
linuor for tho Indians, but drinking too
freely of it themselves, thoy fall asleep.
Two hundred yenrs later they wake up
while workmen nro digging a trench in
tho Citv Hall Snuaro. New York. Their
experience in tho motropolitnn.city can
be imagined, rney meet a gnucu youui,
Willie, who shows them tho town; a
crook who fleeces them, a theosophist,
who claims tho Burgomaster as her
former husband and scores of other
tvnes. Tho cntiro costuming and sccn-
ory for tho present production of "The
Burgomaster have been mauo espec
ially for this big revival and entirely
different from all former presentations.
