12 it (wav at aaJ 4 ft "The Queen of the Moulin Rouge," scheduled for an engagement three nights and a Saturday matinee, beginning tonight at the Star Theatre, portrays two phases of Parisian night life that of the studios and that of the underworld. That master of stagecraft, Paul M. Potter, author of "The Girl From Rector's" and other notable successes, knows Paris- as he does New York. "The Queen of the Moulin Rouge" is the first attraction to. introduce the "L'Amour de L'Apache," a drama of the underworld.

The music of the piece is characteristic of the scenes unfolded throughout the play and Is the work of John T. Hall. The lyrics are by Vincent Bryan. Brig. -Gen.

John I.uke I. S. retired, died last evening in his apartments at the Touraine Hotel. His death marks the end of a long and honorable career, of which 40 years were spent in the service of his country. He always regarded Buffalo as his home and lived here since his retirement about seven years ago.

Gen. Tiernon was born In Madison, on January 18. 1841, and ls early education was obtained ia. St. Mary's Seminary in Missouri.

At the outbreak of the civil war, although he had barely reached his majority, he was speaker of the house of representatives of the territory of Dakota. He gave up the speakership and enlisted In the army as 2d lieutenant In a Missouri artillery regiment. He served throughout the war, and at Its close had been promoted Some of the $5 and $10 Hats You Hear So Much About "So many women are wearing them and telling their friends about these fashionable hats at only $5 and $10, that the demand has far exceeded all expectations. But we've engaged more expert milliners and the daily output is nearly doubled, Every hat is "different" and brings out a style feature rivaling even the most exquisite Paris creations. They are turbans, toque effects and large shapes trimmed with flowers, wings, satin and velvet ribbon.

Every woman who intends to pay from $7.50 to $18 for her new hat, owes it to herself to see these A. M. A. Co. beauties at $5 and $10.

Second Ploor Linen Cluny and German Laces 12Jc Yard A meeting of the advisory committee of the Democratic League's branch In Erie county was held last evening In the office of Herbert F.

The dinner Is to be given In honor of the members of the league's state executive committee. The dinner will be given at the Iroquois Hotel.

Blseell, William A. Donglas, George G. Davidson, George A. Rlcker, Thomas C. Burke and Dr.

William Gaert-ner. The latter Is chairman of the county league, so the towns are expected to participate In the event. Plans are now under consideration for getting some well-known men to make addresses at the meeting. As is well known, the league was formed to rehabilitate and purify the democratic party In this state, and the men who will be selected as speakers will be men who are fully competent to talk of the work already accomplished and what remains to be done in the Immediate future. Aniong the names mentioned of men likely to accept invitations to address those at the dinner are Edward M.

Shepard of Brooklyn, D-Cady Herrick of Albany and Thomas M. Osborne of Auburn. Mr. Blssoll will be toestmaster. When announcement wag made first that this dinner was to be held, there was some speculation as to whether any men holding official positions within the democratic organization of the state and county would be Invited.

On the theory that one of the primary objects of the league is to help the democratic party. It was decided last evening to Invite Democratic State Chairman W. J. Conners, Democratic County Chairman W. H.

Fitzpatrick, and Democratic State Committeemen Louis P. Fuhr-nianu and Henry P. Burgard. Mr. Conners will have retired from the state chairmanship by the time the dinner is held, so he will be invited as the state committeeman from the 48th district.

dimities ana The most Important light opera event of the present season will be the appearance at the Star Theatre the first half of next week 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. DeWolf Hopper will be seen atl the Star Theatre the half of next week in his latest success, "A Matinee Idol." This week's show at Shea's is one of the best ever seenthere. Manager Shea has gathered together eight high grade acts headed by "The Palace Girls" and James demons, who is a great dancer. Laddie Cliff, the English boy-comedian, is proving even more popular than before, ami "Slivers" in his wonderful pantomime is a marvel.

Hilda Thomas and Iu Hall have a great comedy off ering in "The Substitute," while Ward, Klare and Ward, who are newcomers, are big favorites. Apdale's Animals are the delight of the children, and Miss Willette Whitaker and F. Wilbur Hall have the classiest musical offering of the season. The quartette is one of the best singing acts in vaudeville. Next week's show at Shea's will be headed by Lew Dockstader and will include Murray and Lane, the Five Olym-pas, Tom Watters, the Five Avolos, Lena Pantzer, "Awake at the1 Switch" and Work and Ower.

In starring Mabel Hite, in the Town-send-O'Malley piece, "A Certain Party," her, managers, Liebler kept In mind the facts that the young lady is still at the threshold of her career and that her excellence is known only to a small part of the clientele they hope to secure for their production of the new comedy. Miss Hite's appearance in. "A Certain Tarty" is her first in a comedy of sort. For this reason her managers have endeavored to back' up her talents with a truly unusual company. Her husband, thin redoubtable "Mike" Donlin, ex-ballplayer, though cast in a secondary role, will doubtless contribute largely to the drawing-power of the organization.

John T. Kelly is also a magnet. The comedy is scheduled for the Teck Theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. E. H.

I There is more genuine fun at the Gar den Theatre this week than there has been in some tfrroe, and a better attraction than the Jersey Lilies could not have been secured.

The olio includes the Three Alvarettas, National Four, a fine quartette and others.

Some of the best fun comes after the regular performance when "The Mysterious Waffle" shows his prowess as a wrestler. Sam Howe's "Rialto Rounders" will be at the Garden next week.) The Star Show Girls are! affording prime entertainment to patrons of the Lafayette Theatre this week!

Man thinks, discriminates, chooses, aspires, achieves and grows, but while the final object of man's existence may be transformation into a higher order so as to seem different in kind, no man has as yst reached the limit of his power as man, and he does not know but that' the full grown man would absorb and recreate the universe.
