Berg In the center of the balcony directed the riot and between acts led the Muts in giving yells to celebrate Coffinberry, Trixie, the thea ter or themselves as the mood struck them. Other actors on the bill fell into the spirit of the evening and slipped "Mut stuff" into their lines. Finally the whole house dropped onto the sys tem of the Muts and everyone had a hilarious tunny time. It didn't make much difference whether the stuff pulled off on the stage was funny or not, or whether anyone could hear it. They yelled at the actors and had just as much fun out of It anyhow.

M. after a lingering illness. He had been confined to his bed the last two years with paralysis. He was a mem ber of the Woodmen of the Wrld, having joined that order at Inde pendence. Or. Besides a widow, he leaves two daughters Mrs. H. B. Wis dom and Miss Madge E. Cleland, of this city and a son, P. E. Cleland in the East. A railroad man found a snail walking along a rail, and measuring its spread (or a certain distance found that It traveled one foot in four minutes, or at a rate of one mile in 14 2-3 days. of which even Trixie had not been warned. The lights flashed out and when they flashed up there was Bill Strandborg, the chief of the Muts, in the balcony where Miss Friganza's partner ought to have been. He took no chances on the "rough house." He wore a catch er's mask and a breast pad. Miss Friganza only wavered for a fraction of a minute. "Why. little Billy Strandborg," she cried, "how on earth did you get there?" Little Billy leaned his head on his hand and flirted with her from the bal cony until she heaved a bouquet at him. Then he ducked his head and, grabbing the balcony, walked off the stage with it, amid the roars of the Muts and the audience. "I won't play if you're going to be rough," he declared as he went. Just before the close of Miss Fri ganza's act the Muts slipped out of the gallery and gathered on the stage be hind the drop. The act came to a close and the au dience rose to leave the building. Up went the drop and there stood a stage full of coatless Muts who formed a semi-circle around Miss Friganza. J. E. .Verlein, advancing to the front of the stage, asked the audience to join them in singing a song appropriate to the closing of the Orpheum, and Miss Friganza, surrounded by ber Mut re tainers, led the crowd in "Auld Lang Syne." Two great bouquets were tossed over the footlights to her as the song came to a close. And as she stood with her arms full of posies bowing to the audience in farewell "I now declare the Orpheum Theater closed," said Mr. Werleiu, the High Priest of Muts. DEFIANT BANNERS FLYING Protestant Churches All to Make Reference to Battle of Boyne in Services Actual Outbreak Not Expected. BELFAST, July 11. If the celebra tion of the battle of the Boyne tomor row passes without a collision between Orangemen and Catholics, the home rulers of Ulster will have passed another critical danger point. The anniversary of the battle falls on Sunday, and every Protestant church In Belfast, particularly the Presby terians, will have references to the day in the services. The demonstra tion in honor of the day will take place on Monday, when a great procession will march to Drumbeg, four' miles distant, to hold the customary celebra tion. The Protestant section of Belfast is decorated more lavishly than in former years. Flags ana oanners bearing In scriptions defying home rule are dis played everywhere. The presence of Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster leader, and armed guards surrounding his headquarters at Captain Craig's house, together with a review of battalions of volunteers, which several of the leaders held today, caused much excited talk, but despite such exhibitions of high feeling men In closest touch with the people of both factions predict the occasion will pass without any disturbance. The Nationalists assert that the covenanters are working up a purely artificial crisis to frighten the gov ernment into accepting the lords' amendments for the exclusion of the whole of Ulster from home rule. Thousands of members of the con stabulary have been brought forth to preserve peace on Monday, but this is about the number usually mobilized to repress the feelings of the wearers of the orange and of the green on the most contentious day of the Irish calendar. JUNIOR CAMPAIGN OVER FINAL VOTE WILL NOT BE KNOWN UNTIL TOMORROW. Last Appeals Made by Candidates fur Votes and Money to Meet Mortgage Interest on Newsboys' Home. Smiling, shiny-eyed youngsters, can didates for offices in the Junior Muni cipality, held their final rally on Alder and Sixth streets last nigni. With a big American flag held high, the young politicians made their last appeals to the people for their votes and support. The large crowd that gathered listened with interest and amusement to the speeches by the can didates as they pledged themselves to support the city, the flag and the newsboys. Nate Castler, newsboys' candidate for Mayor, assisted J- E. Werleln in introducing the speakers, and made pleas for their support. Castler, so far. is in the lead. Mose Schulman, Honeyman Hard ware Company's candidate for com missioner, kept the crowd in convul sions of laughter with his witticisms and was royally rewarded. Herman Kanin, candidate for Mayor, spoke elo quently in his own rjehalf and rendered a violin solo. Tiny Arthur Behr. candidate for the Spanish-American War Veterans' Sons, is the youngest and smallest of the candidates. He was held up while making his speech. He aspires to the office of commissioner. Other candidates and their managers made short addresses, keeping the thought in the foreground that the ob ject in seeking the money Is to help lift the mortgage off the newsboys' home. The voting closed at midnight The final results will be known tomorrow. Much satisfaction as to the results of the campaign was expressed by L. E. Warford. The Order of Muts has arranged for a benefit performance of motion pic tures at the Heilig Theater and, it is announced, will make up any deficit in the fund after the campaign is over. The judges are: J. E. Werleln, Pro fessor A. R. Draper and Harold Whit ten. AUTOMOBILE HITS BOY JOHNNY", 4-YEAR-OLD SON OF NICH OLAS WEBER, BADLY' HURT. Daniel R.
