Hoyt’o theatre was crowded last night by an appreciative audience, to see Miss Minnie [router's company‘s presentation of “Annette, the Dancing Girl." Un- doubtedly general interest was aroused in this presentation because the play is considered here one of Ullie Aksratrom's beet.and there was a curiosity to see how the two ladies compared in similar roles. Bliss Lester certainly lost nothing in the comparison, but was most outline ieeticalry applauded at every appearance. Her dancing was very pretty.st her interpretation of thocbaracter ct “An- nette," a charming one. Her support was excellent throughout. Tbeopecial- alties in thesecondsct were received with loud applause. The musical se- lections by the orchestra deserve special mention, especially that of thedescrip- tivs piece "A Day at the Rscss."tn which the usual scents attending such a performance, were ably described by Ir. Mitchell. Ii. Dealer’s engagement closes hero with this afternoon's and men. ing’o performances. Tonight “Jack bheppard” will he presented, and owing to its length. the curtain will rue promptly at 8 o’clock. Miss Lester has made herself very popular here, and dr. servedly on. Her repertoire has cut- braced plays of a popular character. They have been clean and pleasing. She has fully sustained every character»- sumed, and by her personal charms and dramatic ability won the admiration and respect of the thousands who have had the pleasure of witnessing her perform- shoes. “The Tornado.” Uncclu J.

An ullcsr of," twenty years’ experience was quoted as aayingthst,sofarssoue can see now, ifitwersnotfor this business one po- liceman would answer where ten are and required. ‘ 'i be businem is not only dangerous. it is delicate and dangerous. To deal with minors and paupers, clamoring for that ‘ ’ which the law denies them, may well to- quire tact. but to deal with drunkards and drunken men nquirseexpert know- ledge. The buiiness is an extremely pro. fitsble one, and this is one of theincidcu- tnidangers. Thespesker gave estimates of the exist of whisky and the results of analyses of a number of specimens bought at didersnt places. He found the mean of all the specimens looted to be 17 9 per cent. below proof, reducing the cost to the dealer to $1.09 a gallon on the average, by the introduction of water. The profits by glaso. pint find gall m were; has shown to be large. The average broil: “33‘ common saloon is rm lit-lion. “5%...." This great profit. hat pirslleled is any other branch of birsiuess requiring such small capital, is one of the great dangers of the business. What into its done with it? Considering flrot the proposition to prohibit the manufacture and sale of liquor and the system of no. license, the speaker showed from statis- tics the greater number of stream in various cities where liquor has been legally sold. over times when its sale has been prohibited. Eli b license and one saloon to each l,000.of population was next considered, rh advantage of this being the reduction of temptation. This plan would probably lead to addi- tional adulterations, and the methods t and kinds of sdultprution were consider» D ed at length. Profesmr llcCook said the sum total of his convictions was that if you care chiefly for a fair revenue from the busi- ness and are indill rent on to statistics of crivm. insanity and the like, not protect license system will do well enough If you are satisfied with about the same amount of revenue and want to hlmph'y somewhat and perhaps re- duce lo a measure the work of your police and " your eleernoeynsry institu- tions,sdupt high license. But neither of thrmfisyslems will go directly to the very core of the matter— the restriction of thezamount of alcohol taken by the individual drinker. There is only one way to meet the dilbculty, by taking away from the dealer all individual and paternal profit. That can be done in one or two wet. by the stats conducting the busineemecond. by. some company. authorized by the state. con- ducting it.
