Indeed, such has been his success in this line that he feels that there is nothing else worth while to learn and so does not feel he will pursue it any longer. He is resting comfortably and in the best of care. It is rumored that he will now turn his attention to babies' food. The crank explorer, Alan Curtis, recently accomplished the goal of his life.

Mary Little, president of the Women's Athletic League f the Pacific Coast, announces that the schedule for the season is ready. Alice Curran, the champion tennis player, states, through her press agent, May Earle, that she will be in the field next season to defend her title against all comers. Viola W isdom, the noted spiritualist, was arrested yesterday on the charge of Kathleen Cotter, the famous actress, who claimed that the medium had been using her spiritual influence against her and hurting her reputation. The managers of the Orpheum Circuit announce that they have secured the great Smith Vaudeville Team ( Perry Smith and Howard Smith) and they they will appear soon in their side-splitting act. [29]
