Fooeral Services Over Late Frederick
Becker Conducted by Rev. Mr. Mof
fatt Interment at Forest HilL
Services over the remains of the late
Frederlqk Becker were held yesterday
afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Washburn
Btreet Presbyterian church. There wa
a. very larice attendance of the friends
of the deceased. Itev. Mr. JloHntt, in
Ills scrmun, paid high tribute to the
departed, who was a member of his
church. Mr. Moffatt took hla text from
Corinthians, v, 1: "For we know that.
If our earthly house of this tabernacle
were dissolved we have a building with
Ood a house not made with hands;
eternal In the heavens." Referring to
the deceased, Mr. Moffatt said:
"As a man he was held In the high
est esteem by all who knew him. He
had a sterling character which Im
pressed itself upon all who came in
contact with him. Whatever he did
was done well, and this characteristic
easily placed him at the head of his
profession. Throughout his lonir sick
ness he manifested the grace of pati
ence and resignation, which to a man
of his temperament was a hard thing
to do. Genial, kind-hearted and gen
erous, making and keeping friends
easily, he wilt be missed by a wide
circle."
The church quartette, Mrs. B. T.
Jaync, Miss Ada Hall, Edwin ltowen
and Davlc Heynon, sang several
hymns. The pall-bearers were: Wil
liam Fowler, Thomas Carey, Charles
Lanning. A. B. Holmes, Bert Green sr.,

AMUSEMENTS.
That very funny comedy. "Our Flat,"
in which Emily Bnneker, the daintiest
and most exquisite of comediennes,
made a pronounced hit here last sea
son, will be the attraction at the Acad
emy of Mpuslc Thursday evening. The
"Comique Exquisite" and her play are
both cherished In the memory of our
I)lay-goe"i. When last here. Miss
Kancker played to the capacity of the
house, and sent her audience home af
ter the performance feeling on good
terms with themselves, and the world
In general, and that Is Invariably the
effect produced by witnessing a per
formance of "Our Flat."
"Secret Service." a play dealing with
the heart and home side of war, will
be the lirst purely dramatic offering of
i Metropolitan magnitude o the season

consideration of discriminating theater
patrons lrom the fact that is the work
of William Olllette, the author of suirh
splendid successes as "Too Much John
son," "The. Private Secretary," and
"Held by the Enemy." It is under the
management of Chnrles Frohman and
Is said to have been equipped by him
with that lavish scenic investiture
which the public has come to asso
ciate with all of his productions. Ho
has also called into requisition for its
cast, a number of the best known ar
tists, among them Amy Busby, Odette
Tyler, William Gillette, Walter Thom
as, Campbell Gollun, Ida Waterman,
Allco Leigh, Joseph Brennan and M. S.
Alsop. The box ollice is open for the
sale of seats Wednesday morning.
On Friday and Saturday evenings
and Saturday afternoon at the Acnd
emyof Music will be given Harry Mar

GOOD PERFORMANCES AT DAVIS'.
Given by I'lynn and Sheridan's Come
diuns Yesterday.
Flynn and Sheridan's great big sen
sation show, the same which tickled
Davis' theater patrons last Christmas
week, Is again at the same playhouse.
The first performance was given yes
terday afternoon and evenincr before
i large audiences and gave great satls
I faction.
There are about thirty members In
the company half black, half white.
I The three colored comedians are the
best that have ever made the Davis
their stamping ground. Walter Smart
and George Williams, acrobats, slng-
I ers, dancers, funny men and everything
else, are a great team. Billy Farrell
and his wife repeated their champion
I caxe warn.
Others who prove curtaining are:
Flora Leonard, tight rope walkist and
tough girl; Lillian Lancaster and Gertie
i Collins, contortionists; and the creole
soloists. The songs ore new; the cas-
turning of the female portion Is hand-
I some, nnd the clog dance specialty Is
i something new nnd nicely arranged.
' The Bhow will be repeated today and
tomorrow afternoons and evenings.
