ROOSEVELT GOES GUNNING TOMORROW His First Chance at African Game Will be on the Kapiti Plains Where Hunt-in- g Party Camps for a Week Left Mombasa This Afternoon. (By Warrington Dawson, Staff Corres- pondent United Press.) Mombasa, East Africa, April 22. Colonel Roosevelt will probably get his first chance at African game The change in the hunting plans of the Roosevelt hunting party were made to-d- as a result of which the party will spend a week in camp on the Kapiti plains before coming to Nairobi and the ranch of Sir Alfred Pease. The hunting party left Mom- basa this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and the members will disembark ht and after a short rest, the hunting on Kapiti plains will begin. If the pres- ent plans do not miscarry the Colonel will do his first shooting Antelopes, Ostriches and small game abound on the Kapiti plains, and Mr. Roosevelt anticipates a good bag. A special train, decorated with Am- erican flags, bore the party from Mom- basa. At the dinner given by Mom- basa Club last night Mr. Roosevelt was toasted by F. C.

A first class thorough job for fairy element gives many chances for handsome costuming and scenery, all of which have been taken full advant- age of by that clever producer, Augus- tus Pltou, who has personally staged the piece. a Patrons of the theatre who accom- panied Fred Niblo on his personally conducted Zig-Za- g Journey Through Africa were evidently delighted with the trip, inasmuch as the demand for seats for Mr. Niblo's second "travel talk" on "Egypt, from Cairo to Khar- toum", is unprecedented for an enter- tainment of this character. On next Thursday evening Mr. Niblo takes his audience on a pictorial pilgrimage throughout ancient and modern Egypt, with marvelous and mysterious, weird and' wonderful motion pictures, snap- shot, flashlight and' panoramic photo- graphic views. All pictures having been taken by Mr. Niblo personally during his seven months' sojourn in the land of the Pharoahs graphically illustrate his interesting and descrip- tive "travel talks." Pictorially con- sidered, Egypt furnishes vastly more picturesque subject matter than Af- rica, and the climatic conditions are much more favorable, to photography. In none of Mr. Niblo's travels has he been rewarded with such excellent pho- tographic results. POLI'S Clever Sidnej' Eaxter and the beauti- ful Bea Southwick continue to get rounds of applause for their clever aer- ial act in which a bicycle is riden up- on a slack wire. There are so few people who are rot wheel riders that there is hardly anyone in the audience who does not appreciate the daring and skill of the graceful Scotchman. If Manager Poli had tried to get to- gether a number of beautiful women upon any one week's bill he could not have done better than chance has done this week. Miss Southwick, Hildred Emmett. Miss Johnston, and Isabel Butler are all 'handsome women of dis- tinctive types, and the sextette of dancing comediennes supporting Pat Rooney is as pretty a bevy of small soubrettes as ever one sees in the same act. "Simple Simon Simple" with its splendid music .funny scenes, and side- splitting climaxes would not win the tremendous applause that it does if it was not for the snap and vim that lit- - Germany to a better understanding. and the toast brought tremendous ap- plause. F. J. Jordan presided at the dinner and toasted both King- Edward and Mr. Roosevelt. When the latter rose to respond he was greeted by cheering that lasted fully five minutes. The demonstration was so cordial that the seemed momentarily em- barrassed. Mr. Roosevelt said that the greatest surprise he had encountered in Africa was the beauty of the scen- ery which far surpasses his expecta- tions. He declared he had seen so many evidences of civilization that he was beginning to be skeptical regard- ing the existence of jungles, a skepti- cism which he hoped soon to have re- moved. R. J. Cunningham, who will act as a guide for the Roosevelt party, was one of the first to Sryt Mr. Roosevelt. HOWARD HUBER Wedding of Popular Young Bridgeport Lady in New York. Miss Lydia Lena Huber, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Huber of 865 Sea-vie- w avenue was married yesterday afternoon in New York to Mr. Harry Howard. The ceremony was perform- ed at the Second Baptist church by the pastor. Rev. Robert Pierce, a warm personal friend of the groom. The bride who was attended by her sister. Miss Lulu Huber was attired in an old rose traveling suit with a hat to match. The best man was Mr. Ralph Richardson. Following the ceremony the immediate relatives of the young people were entertained at a dinner given at the new Astor hotel. The table decorations were unique and the menu was one of the famous hostelry's finest. Mr. and Mrs. Howard sailed to-d- ay aboard the S. S. Prince George for Bermuda where they remain for a month upon their honeymoon. On their return to this country they will make their home in New York city. Mr. Howard is connected with John Wanamaker's New York store as a manager in the shoe department. He formerly resided in this city. The bride Is a daughter of the well known whole- sale confectioner, of this city. The bride's gift to the groom and the groom's gift to the bride were very handsome articles of jewelry and the bride was the recipient of many hand- some and useful gifts from her many friends in this city. Mrs. Howard was exceedingly popular with her legion of friends she being a young lady of re- finement and accomplishments. VACANT LOTS FOR THE UNEMPLOYED All the vacant lot farmers of last year who want to have a garden this season should apply at the Thomas street woodyard on Friday and Satur- day, April 23 and 24, from 7 to 12 o'clock in the morning, or at the Y. M. C. A. building between 7:30 and 9:30 in the evening. New applicants will be given a chance to apply after this date at the same hours and at the same places. Last year farmers will be given the use of their old lots where it is pos- sible for the committee to secure the use of such land, and in cases where this is not possible, other lots will be assigned them. The gardens will be about 70x100 feet and each tenant will be charged from two to three dollars to covtr the cost of plowing and har- rowing. No seed' or fertilizer will be furnished by the committee this year, but an arrangement has been made by which these can be purchased at a ten per cent, discount. FRED HARVEY THE MAN . WHO DID A REAL THING Every railroad has one or more at- tractions of which they are particular- ly proud. Meet a Sante Fe man and he will boast of many things, but he will probably talk loudest of the meal service. For many years the railroad restaurant was a stock joke among funny men; a never failing resource when other inspiration failed, but when Fred Harvey took charge of that long chain of dining cars and restaurants extending from Chicago to California, the jokj lost its point so far as the Sante Fe is concerned. This company has just issued an appreciation of Fred Harvey. It is in the form of a pamph- let which, incidentally, is intended to advertise their facilities for feeding patrons. Just who Fred Harvey was is not clear, but what he was is per- fectly plain a genius, whose special talent was for feeding his fellow men. to the perfect satisfaction of the traveling public and the great honor and glory of the Santa Fee system. It is understood that free copies of this pomphlet may be had on application to any agent of the company. It is well worth reading.

THE THEATRES SMITH'S The Jewish dramatic season in this city will come to a close this evening, with the appearance of Mme. Kenny Pipzln and the Yiddish Dramatic Co., in the new drama of Yiddish life in America. "Cain and Abel." Mme. Pipzin has been seen in this city on several occasions, and has always created the most profound admiration for her splendid work. She is said to be ' the best Yiddish actress on the boards, and she will have the support of a carefully selected cast. The play is pronounced highly interesting, and enjoyable alike to Jew and Gentile. All who understand' German can easily follow the play, and enjoy it. The work of these Yiddish actors is ex- tremely artistic, and their productions are invariably the source of much pleasure to their countrymen. "Montana," by Harry D. Carey, the talented) young author-acto- r, is essen- tially a drama of deeds and not of words. Many of the strongest scenes could be played in pantomime so little do they depend on the lines that the players read. In this regard they are like some of the best scenes hi Shakes- pearean dramas. Like all really good dramas, including "Hamlet" and "Jul- ius Caesar", it appeals to the emotions that are common to all humanity and not to that small deliciously naive class that modestly styles itself the in- tellectually superior one. "Montana", which will be seen tomorrow and Sat- urday, is a dramatic gem that sparkles against all environments. There is scarcely a passion known to humanity that it does not show in its utmost strength and with all those human passions are so closely woven in the threads of the drama, that it stands unrivalled as regards powerful effects and deepest pathos. Daily matinees and popular prices will prevail. 3 The most important light opera event of the present season will be the ap- pearance next Monday evening of Fritzi Scheff in Charles Dillingham's production of "The Prima Donna", the new comic opera success written for Madame Scheff by Henry Blossom and Victor Herbert. Strange for a comic opera, the play has an interest that is at times really gripping ana me siorj is developed very skillfully. So dra- matic is the plot, in fact, that it gives Mme. Scheff the opportunity to dem- onstrate that she possesses real talent as an emotional actress as well as be- ing the best prima donna on the light opera stage today. From this it must not be gathered- that "The Prima Donna" is heavy, for Henry Blossom bus put in it his most sparkling lines and most brilliant lyrics, and he prov- ed with "The Red Mill" and "M'lle Modiste" that as a librettist he has no superior in this country. Victor Her- bert is said to have outdone himself with the music. He has written his usual musically score and several of the numbers have a swing to them that easily accounts for their popular- ity. The cast will include James E. Sullivan. William Raymond. Donald Hall. William K. Harcourt. Martin Hayden. Phil Branson, Herbert Ayling, Armand Cortes. Blanche Morrison. Ruth Holt Boucicsult. Josephine Bart-let- t, Katherine Fletcher, Renee Dyris, La Noveta, and many others. The production is of the usual colorful Dil- lingham type. The sale of seats for the engagement opened this morning, and there is every indication of a splendid business. "Ragged' Robin", which will be (iven next Tuesday evening with Chauncey Olcott in the title role, is one of the most dcligfitful performances of Irish drama tha has teen placed before the public in many years. Choice gems of song, dances of fairies and elves, clever scenic and lighting effects all serve to illustrate one of the prettiest love stories imaginable. The play, which was written by Pida Johnson Young in collaboration with Rita Ol- cott, is the first play to be written on this side of the Atlantic in the Celtic style made popular by Yeats. Fiona Macleod, George Russell and the Clever writers of the new Celtic movement. In it we see mortal and fairy inter- mingled, affording a freedom of style not obtainable In ordinary drama. The $22.50 tne 5 Telephone or Write and tie Pat Rooney instills into the piece. Pat can dance a snare drummer tired with his rapid fire clogs and it is the pace he sets for the other thirteen members of the company that wins the audience. The favor in which "Sim- ple Simon Simple" is meeting: in this and other cities means that Pat Roo- ney is going to be seen in more of these breezy light comedies in the fu- ture. They are refreshing and crowd into a half hour all the fun that can be had in a top heavy musical comedy that is stretched out to cover three hours' time. - Harry First, the Hebrew character actor who is scoring a hit with the rest of the bill this week is a big change from the usual Hebrew singing and talking comedian. His sudden change of moods are convulsing and keenly OF TEAS AND COFFEES WITH 60c Tea 45 Stamps with 1 50c Tea 30 Stamps with 1 40c Tea 20 Stamps with 1 3 5c Tea 10 Stamps with 1 I Very Best Fresh - 40. 50 and 60c lb. will do double the work of the same SPECIAL LAUNDRY SALE. 8o a box CHLORIDE OF 2 cakes 7c PEARLINE 3c a pkg.

Patrons of the theatre who accom-panied Fred Niblo on his personallyconducted Zig-Za- g Journey ThroughAfrica were evidently delighted withthe trip, inasmuch as the demand forseats for Mr. Niblo's second "traveltalk" on "Egypt, from Cairo to Khar-toum", is unprecedented for an enter-tainment of this character. On nextThursday evening Mr. Niblo takes hisaudience on a pictorial pilgrimagethroughout ancient and modern Egypt,with marvelous and mysterious, weirdand' wonderful motion pictures, snap-shot, flashlight and' panoramic photo-graphic views. All pictures havingbeen taken by Mr. Niblo personallyduring his seven months' sojourn inthe land of the Pharoahs graphicallyillustrate his interesting and descrip-tive "travel talks." Pictorially con-sidered, Egypt furnishes vastly morepicturesque subject matter than Af-rica, and the climatic conditions aremuch more favorable, to photography.In none of Mr. Niblo's travels has hebeen rewarded with such excellent pho-tographic results.

POLI'SClever Sidnej' Eaxter and the beauti-

ful Bea Southwick continue to getrounds of applause for their clever aer-ial act in which a bicycle is riden up-on a slack wire. There are so fewpeople who are rot wheel riders thatthere is hardly anyone in the audiencewho does not appreciate the daringand skill of the graceful Scotchman.

If Manager Poli had tried to get to-gether a number of beautiful womenupon any one week's bill he could nothave done better than chance has donethis week. Miss Southwick, HildredEmmett. Miss Johnston, and IsabelButler are all 'handsome women of dis-tinctive types, and the sextette ofdancing comediennes supporting PatRooney is as pretty a bevy of smallsoubrettes as ever one sees in thesame act.

Germany to a better understanding.and the toast brought tremendous ap-plause.

F. J. Jordan presided at the dinnerand toasted both King- Edward andMr. Roosevelt. When the latter roseto respond he was greeted by cheeringthat lasted fully five minutes. Thedemonstration was so cordial that the

seemed momentarily em-barrassed. Mr. Roosevelt said that thegreatest surprise he had encounteredin Africa was the beauty of the scen-ery which far surpasses his expecta-tions. He declared he had seen somany evidences of civilization that hewas beginning to be skeptical regard-ing the existence of jungles, a skepti-cism which he hoped soon to have re-moved.

R. J. Cunningham, who will act as aguide for the Roosevelt party, was oneof the first to Sryt Mr. Roosevelt.

FRED HARVEY THE MAN .WHO DID A REAL THING

Every railroad has one or more at-tractions of which they are particular-ly proud. Meet a Sante Fe man andhe will boast of many things, but hewill probably talk loudest of the mealservice. For many years the railroadrestaurant was a stock joke amongfunny men; a never failing resourcewhen other inspiration failed, but whenFred Harvey took charge of that longchain of dining cars and restaurantsextending from Chicago to California,the jokj lost its point so far as theSante Fe is concerned. This companyhas just issued an appreciation of FredHarvey. It is in the form of a pamph-let which, incidentally, is intended toadvertise their facilities for feedingpatrons. Just who Fred Harvey wasis not clear, but what he was is per-fectly plain a genius, whose specialtalent was for feeding his fellow men.to the perfect satisfaction of thetraveling public and the great honorand glory of the Santa Fee system. Itis understood that free copies of thispomphlet may be had on applicationto any agent of the company. It iswell worth reading.

THE THEATRES

SMITH'SThe Jewish dramatic season in this

city will come to a close this evening,with the appearance of Mme. KennyPipzln and the Yiddish Dramatic Co.,in the new drama of Yiddish life inAmerica. "Cain and Abel." Mme.Pipzin has been seen in this city onseveral occasions, and has alwayscreated the most profound admirationfor her splendid work. She is said tobe ' the best Yiddish actress on theboards, and she will have the supportof a carefully selected cast. The playis pronounced highly interesting, andenjoyable alike to Jew and Gentile.All who understand' German can easilyfollow the play, and enjoy it. Thework of these Yiddish actors is ex-

tremely artistic, and their productionsare invariably the source of muchpleasure to their countrymen.

"Montana," by Harry D. Carey, thetalented) young author-acto- r, is essen-tially a drama of deeds and not ofwords. Many of the strongest scenescould be played in pantomime so littledo they depend on the lines that theplayers read. In this regard they arelike some of the best scenes hi Shakes-pearean dramas. Like all really gooddramas, including "Hamlet" and "Jul-ius Caesar", it appeals to the emotionsthat are common to all humanity andnot to that small deliciously naiveclass that modestly styles itself the in-

tellectually superior one. "Montana",which will be seen tomorrow and Sat-urday, is a dramatic gem that sparklesagainst all environments. There isscarcely a passion known to humanitythat it does not show in its utmoststrength and with all those humanpassions are so closely woven in thethreads of the drama, that it standsunrivalled as regards powerful effectsand deepest pathos. Daily matineesand popular prices will prevail.

The most important light opera eventof the present season will be the ap-pearance next Monday evening ofFritzi Scheff in Charles Dillingham'sproduction of "The Prima Donna", thenew comic opera success written forMadame Scheff by Henry Blossom andVictor Herbert. Strange for a comicopera, the play has an interest that isat times really gripping ana me siorjis developed very skillfully. So dra-matic is the plot, in fact, that it givesMme. Scheff the opportunity to dem-onstrate that she possesses real talentas an emotional actress as well as be-

ing the best prima donna on the lightopera stage today. From this it mustnot be gathered- that "The PrimaDonna" is heavy, for Henry Blossombus put in it his most sparkling linesand most brilliant lyrics, and he prov-ed with "The Red Mill" and "M'lleModiste" that as a librettist he has nosuperior in this country. Victor Her-bert is said to have outdone himselfwith the music. He has written hisusual musically score and several ofthe numbers have a swing to themthat easily accounts for their popular-ity. The cast will include James E.Sullivan. William Raymond. DonaldHall. William K. Harcourt. MartinHayden. Phil Branson, Herbert Ayling,Armand Cortes. Blanche Morrison.Ruth Holt Boucicsult. Josephine Bart-let- t,

Katherine Fletcher, Renee Dyris,La Noveta, and many others. Theproduction is of the usual colorful Dil-

lingham type. The sale of seats forthe engagement opened this morning,and there is every indication of asplendid business.

"Ragged' Robin", which will be (ivennext Tuesday evening with ChaunceyOlcott in the title role, is one of themost dcligfitful performances of Irishdrama tha has teen placed before thepublic in many years. Choice gemsof song, dances of fairies and elves,clever scenic and lighting effects allserve to illustrate one of the prettiestlove stories imaginable. The play,which was written by Pida JohnsonYoung in collaboration with Rita Ol-

cott, is the first play to be written onthis side of the Atlantic in the Celticstyle made popular by Yeats. FionaMacleod, George Russell and the Cleverwriters of the new Celtic movement.In it we see mortal and fairy inter-mingled, affording a freedom of stylenot obtainable In ordinary drama. The
