it at the Empire theater with "Allce <
Slt-by-tho-FIre" In addition. The dou

Is a one-act sat'ire on the snobbery ol

"Nobody's Daughter" is n now play
in the repertoire of the Now Theater ,
which is to close so soon. The play
has aroused various opinions from

LINDSEY DEFENDS WOMEN.
Says That Only Occasionally Is Cor

be corrupt , " said Judge Ben B. Lind-

'but where one woman Is found crook
ed there are about 100 men. "
Judge Lindscy took exception tc
statements In an article written by
Richard Barry on conditions in Colorado -
rado , a suffrage state , saying that
many of them were falsehoods.
"Tho recital of things which have
been done or have not been done in
the suffrage states , " he said , "and the
advancement of the theory that be
cause women have not passed certain
laws they should be disfranchised
also might be applied to the state
where men alone vote. It would be
logical.
"Another statement has been made
that the women of Colorado have not
tried to get through the legislature
bills regarding child labor. This is c
deliberate lie.
"Last year I had seven of these
bills drafted. Three I gave to a wo
man in the legislature and the othen
I distributed among four senators
The woman got the three bills passec
but the senators could not even gel
theirs out of committee. "

good than forty men could have , 01
would have done.

an incumbent , a man of unusual lit

id that ho has been seized with suet
outbursts of oratory , which wore ol
such magnitude and brilliancy , thai
he noonday sun was obscured ; the
jlrds ceased to sing ; the chlckem
went to roost ; the green grass with
ered and died ; the leaves even drop
pcd from the trees as though the lonj
winter had sot in. Naturally the
neighbors failed to appreciate these
paroxysms and the attending condl
.ions , and remonstrated with him. The
: alented orator brooded In moody si
lence for awhile , but finally his liter
ary genius began to eke out througt
the end of his pen , and we have as t
part of our entertainment this even
ing one of his brilliant efforts. "

him. This estimated growth of lili
company's business In this city Ii
mscd on the history of the past am
the judgment of the best Infornioi
men in the city as to what the growtl
of the town will be.
This estimate Is being mndo at thli
