game fight and did a great deal of the
loading, but was not speedy enough
for the Billtowner. The latter did a
great deal of stalling and whtle in
the opening rounds he was a shade
the better of the deal in the last
rounds Wolf came back strong and the
best that could be given the bout was
a shade for Magulre.
Peppery Ilovs
Peto Mowel, Philadelphia, and
Young Sharkey, Reading showed the
most pep and action of the show and
the bt>ut was the best of the evening.
The mill was a farce at times when
Sharkey cut his funny capers. He
is the kind that, would make the most
skeptical believe that Old Man Darwin
was right in his theory when he got
down on his haunches and made faces
at Howel.
Sharkey did not show much in the
opening rounds and 0. second after the
bell a. stiff left to tho jaw sent him on
his back. He took a great deal of
punishment, but was always forcing
the light. In the last three rounds he
waded in with all his might and evened
matters up. Sharkey laid for a hay
maker, but by clever jabbing and
dodging Howel frustrated the attempt.
Howel's manager claimed that his
protege broke a bone in his left hand
in the first round, but whe-a the referee
announced it to the fans It wouldn't
hold water. It was ascertained later,
however, that Ilowel had split his
hand near the wrist joint.
The second dish on the fistic bill was
between Jack Dewey, Harrlsburg, and
Joe Metz, Lancaster. The fight was
the poorest of the evening, and about
the only thing Metz had on Dewey was
eighteen pounds.
Young Eshelmen, Steelton, and
Frankio Flawd, Lancaster, occupied
the stage in the opening bout and the
mill was a general goo*J mimp,at times
merging into the ordinary free for all
scrap. Flawd showed the best boxing
ability and bothered the Steelton la<l
with a left jab. Eshleman has a reach
like a Willard. and at times swung like
a Holland windmill. In the second
round ho caught Flawd with a right,
sending hint to his knee for the count
of nine. Flawd had a chance to put
across the haymaker In the last round,
but was too weak to shove it across.
It was Flawd's bout by a good margin.
Johnnie Wolgast presented his alibi
in person by stepping on the canvas
just prior to the last bout. It was
very evident that his body was swath
ed In bandages and the fans accepted
his excuse and cheered lustily when it
was announced that if his rib has heal
ed sufficiently he will meet Maguirc
in this city April 11.

Scene and Period: Mantua
and Vicinity. 16th Century.
Rigoletto is the jester at the Court
of the Duke of Mantua. Depraved and
unfeeling as his master.
Story of Rigoletto's one virtue is
"IliKoIetto" his love for his daughter,
Giida, whoin lie lias con
cealed in a cottage remote front the
palace and its licentious courtiers.
A jest is devised: Rigoletto is to be
blindfolded and led to the cottage to
assist in the abduction of the daughter
lot a count who has long been his
enemy. Gilda, herself, is borne away
to the palace of the duke, who finds
that she is a maiden whom he has
wooed in the disguise of a poor stu
dent.
Maddened by the trick, Rigoletto ar
ranges to lure the duke to a wayside
tavern to be murdered by one Spara
fueile, a professional assassin. Madda
lena, sister of the desperado, begs bet
brother to spare the duke's life. They
then decide that the life of the first man
entering the tavern shall be taken.
Gilda. however, overhears from the out
side. and, clad as a man, enters the inn
to save the duke's life. She is set upon
and mortally wounded.
As Rigoletto bends over the sack Into
which the body had been placed a song
iis heard from a room. It proves to be
i the voice of the duke. Rigoletto then
I opens the sack to find the lifeless form

Following its record-breaking run of
half a year at the Belasco and George
M. Cohan theaters,
Orpheum Theater New York, David
t Have Belasco will bring
"Seven t'lianee*" his new comedy
success, "Seven

a clean and wholesome manner the pre

herit a large fortune left by his grand
father. His efforts to tlnds a wife in

that wil enable you to waltz, fox-trot,
or do any of the other dances that you
have always wanted to learn. "Tango
.Shoes" is an excellent comedy offering
that will head the new bill of vaude
ville, and is said to be a scream from
start to finish. Bell and Fredo, the
popular team of "wop" comedians that
scored such a hit here last season, are
an added attraction on tho bill. Jenks
and Allen, in a rural comedy variety
turn; Picquo, the European clown, in a
novel comedy gymnastic offering, and
one other act, complete the bill.
Pretty Edith Storey, one of the most
popular stars on the screen, will appear
at the Colonial Thea
"Money Mnglo" tcr to-day and to
at the Coluiilnl morrow in a Vita
graph Blue Ribbon
feature, "Money Magic,' in which she
is starred with Antonio Moreno. Most
of the scenes of this picture are laid
out-of-doors and are exceptionally pic
turesque. The story deals with a girl
who marries a man out of gratitude, and
for the comfort his great fortune would
give her. He was a hopeless invalid
and she found herself little more than
a nurse. Of life itself she had nothing.
Then into her life came youth and love
in the form of a younger man. but, like
her. he was bound in honor to his be
trothed, a frail, weak girl, who was
nearing the close of her brief day.
What sacrifice, whose self-denial could
set aright these tangled threads?
"Money Magic" is a story that is 111 led
with human Interest and has a splen
did climax. Francis X. Bushman and
Beverly Bayne will be the added at
traction to-morrow, one day only, in
the seventh episode of "The Great
Secret," entitled "The Yellow Claw/' one
of the strongest episodes of the entire

A meteoric rise from a newsgirl to
a society debutante and newspaper re
porter, is depicted by

which some wealthy men make, that all
society girl cannot be made out of a
newsglrl. How a piece of chewing
gum, stuck on the end of an umbrella
and used by a clever woman to pick up
scraps of paper from the floor, enables
her to' free the man she loves from the
charge of theft, and to convict the
guilty person, is graphically told.
To-morrow only. Henry B. Walthall,
with Mary Charleson, will be presented
in "Burning the Candle."
The interest shown by lovers of high
class music in the coming appearance
of the San Carlo Grand
fan Carlo Opera Company gives as-

Police Club Serves As
Extension For Pistol
A policeman's club, which la so
made that It can also be used as an
extension to a pistol barrel, thereby
changing the latter into a sort of rifle,
has been invented by the Sheriff of
Alameda county, Cal. The extension
has the outward appearance of an
ordinary hickory club, but contains a
steel barrel so fashioned at one end
that it can be quickly attached to a
pistol's nozzle. It is said that it more

arm and makes possible greater accu
racy in aiming. It is fourteen inches
