made the butts of jokea. Local Interest in Song. The song "America for Americans" that was used as the finale for the first part has more than musical Interest in It for the people of this part of the state. The words were written by Mrs. Burton Hunt of Ell Paso, and the muslo was written by Mias Florence Baker, of El Paso, and dedicated to President Wood row Wilson with his permission and acknowledgement Many people dedicate songs and books to the president but It is seldom that knows of tbe honor given him.

In the case of this song however, he personally approved of the dedication. Last ninjht the song was sung by Dale James and the rounds of applause he re-celvej spoke well not only for himself, but the merits of the producers. Burton C. Hurd, the 15 year old boy soprano of St Matthews Episcopal church of this city, son of Mrs. Burton Hurd, of El Paso, will present the song to the public fh the near future, as Its Introduction last night more than guaranteed the sucoesa of the piece.

The cover of the sheet of music when finished will bear two American Tags with young Mr. Hurd's picture between them. These Taking Part. The list of people in the cast follows: End men J. H.

281, was a brilliant success In the first appearance made last night In the Chatterton opera house before a packed house. Soon after the doors had opened the seating capacity of the house was taken. The ml nitre! show was a sparkler, as has been all others given by the local lodge. The complete cast was covered with glory, with Abe Held-man, Martin Callahan, Paul Jefferson and Miss Fern Patton leading the Hat of local brilliants of the amateur stage. From the opening chorus to the finale of the second part, the entire production spoke of merit to local people.

The Jokesters had a new line and lncidently Abe Heldman "had a new girl, in his humorous monologue. In all. the minstrel was a brand new bottle of fun and It was all uncorked for the benefit of Bloomington people who will recelvo the proceeds in a charitable way. Ths Opening Scene. In the opening chorus a number of popular songs were rendered by over twenty-five male voice and about eight women's voioes.

Thestage setting was far better than those of past years. The first line composed the end men and circle men, with tbe interlocutor, Martin Brennan, seated at the center of the stage of the first line. The Pornaus' full orchestra was hidden behind the seconj line In a deep setting of palm trees. The final two tiers were elevated so that every face in the chorus was easily seen by the audience. In previous years the chorus had blacked their faces, but this year they were left in their natural color.

The funmakers were drest In blue coats with gold trimming and wore white trousers, all making a distinct contrast with their blacked faces and yellow and green neckties. Musical Program. Robert Ward opened the minstrel proper with a leading musical selection) "Turn Back the Universe and Give Me YesterJay." Then came W. E. Brown in the vocal rendition cf "Blue, Just Blue." These numbers were given between jokes by the mirth provoking black faoecomedl-ans.

Abe Heldman sang "How's Every Little Thing In Dixie" and as usual Abie was given a noisy welcome. Larry Doyle sang "Ireland Must be Heaeen, For My Mother Came From There." M. L. Callahan, or Martin 'Prayed For the Lights to Go Out" and with a few imitations of "Balhn' the Jack" took tbe bouse by storm and comedy. One of the features of the erening was the appearance of Paul Jefter- i son, who was Introduced to the audi ence as Blooqjington Young Favorite.

Young Mr. Jefterson sang "There's a Long, Long Trail," and in a seemingly without effort controlled his wholesome tenor voice in a way that thrilled the Audience with admiration. He received a number of encores. "The Sunshine and Your Smile" by Frank KeUey, who mads a hit in last year's minstrel, brought him encores. Heber Hudson and "The Bloomington Bug" threw the audience into laughing convulsions.

His parody was well given. The first rart was closed with the song "America For Americans" by Dale James, who was attired a the cartoonist's figure Uncle Sam. Gen and Vary Enoe Appear. Gene and Mary Enos, two local people, who are among the leading acrobats of the wor.d, gave their act and were well received. Enos took tne lead and did ail the heavy work.

A series of heaj balancing numbers, followed by pole balancing and performances on the pole while it was proved to be a new line of acrobatic stunts never before seen in this city. Ttieir act was tbe opening number of the second part. Callanun and Saddler gave a good comedy rketch, with Saddler at the piano and Callahan doing the singing, talking and dancing. In the monologue by Abe L. Heldman a number of Jokes, all new.fwnre told upon local people, attho Abe withheld all names.

The best bet of the evening In his jhkes was told cf the time he went to call on his girl. Abe said1 "I love you, you are the world to me." His girl sputtered and fluttered and had him repeat, which he did. Then Abe said "Let's go swimming at the park." Hls girl: "What for?" Abe said "I want to see more of the world." The brass quartet gars the "Prayer From Boccocclo" and followed with a popular air that won them the approval of the audience. In the final scene Miss Louise Watson sang "Fair and was assisted by the tlawattan Ladies and chaps, who composed the chorus. Mins Fern Patton sang "Aloho Oe" or "Tare-well" anj was givan a number of recalls.

Frank Kelley then sang "Down Honolulu Way" and after a multitude of hand claps and an encore the curtain dropt on one of the best local productions ever held in this city. It will be repeated tonight. Minstrel SidellcMa, Sidney Sutton to Martin Brennan "Kay Martin, did you hear about Joe Kice?" No, what about him? "Weil he went Into the My Store the other day and told Charlie Goelzer be would like to see a pair of pants that would fit him." Charlie said, "So would Hebe HuJWi told of his ride In Rogers Humphreys' new Ford, but didn't want to say anything about the Ford cause Oscar Mandel was present. Anyway Rogers Invited Hebe for a ride, but Hebe was cautioned not to say a word while the trip was being made about the city, on account of Rogers being jl bit nervous. After the, trip was over and the car had stopt In the business district.

Rogers said to alfebe "Whore's my wife?" "Oh," salj Hebe, 'She fell out when you wor talcing that curve In Cedar Crest" Theodore Bunn and Hebe Hudson haj double Jokes that took some time to tell. It was about Mr. It U. Well, His Son Izzy Well, going to ae Dr. Pest, and with those names and a conglomeration of Incidents the Joke finally ended by being "Dunn Well." About fifty members of the Elks I'vK-e of Pontine, were present, and Abe Heldman "pulled" a couple of Jokes on the Pontiac delegation.

Abe sa Mr. Donahue of Pontiac. was a good soldier. In explaining why he said Mr. Donahue never In bis life had "re-treated." Other nrominent local DeoDle were END COMES AT 10 LAST NIGHT Well Known Woman of City Expire Twe Old Resident of Hy- worth Called.

City at Meeting Today Will Take Initial Steps to Replace Old Stretches of Pavement-Other Municipal During the regular meeting of the board of local improvements this afternoon Mayor E. E. Jones will a motion that a brick pavement be laid on Madison street between Washington and Grove streets; on Madison between Jefferson and Monroe etreeta and on Monroe street between Roosevelt avenue and Center street as a public necessity. The pavement above referrea to will replace stretches of pavement that have long been In a deplorable condition. The laying of the inter-orban tracks on Madison street anJ the tearing up ofjhe pavements by the B.

ex N. Eclric and Heating Company, and other concerns to lay mains and pipes have left the vold pavement rough and uneven and filled with great chuck boles. In view ef this condition and also owing to the fact that the Madison and Monroe street pavements are among the first to be laid in the city, Mayor Jones considers that it is high time that some such action be taken. An effort will be made to crowd these pavements along with the others which are scheduled for construction during the spring anj early summer months. It is the purposss of the mayor and the commissioners to spread the assessments, get the Improvements confirmed, pass the ordinance and let the contracts at an early a date as possible on all city improvement" now scheduled, in order that there may be no.

unnecessary delays when the time arrives for the actual construction work. To Receive Bids Today. The board will also receive bids today on the Front street water main; the Lee street sewer and the Vale street water main. These improvements have been advertised for bid's previously and this time the city officials hope to be able to lot the contracts. Pontiao Writes the Mayor.
