HIS SUICIDE PROTEST OUST GRIFT Dr. Theodore B. Sachs. Dr. Theodore B. Sachs’ suicide has aroused many charitable workers and their sponsors in Chicago, who look on liis act as a protest against graft in the Chicago Municipal Tubercu losis Sanitarium, of which he was the head. He resigned from the public institution and went to his private sanitarium at Naperville, where he took poison. He said politicians had Interfered with the work of the muni < ip<*l sanitarium, and that he had grown weary of fighting them. GREINWOOO SHOWS Ml FIRST Special arrangement has been per fected by which the Greenwood shows will exhibit in Americus for one week, commencing Monday, May Ist. This organization is in no way similar to a carnival. Only one performance is given each night, but free street par ades will be made daily by the Green wood Challenge Band and each night just prior to the night show a free concert will be given on the base ball park show grounds. The mammoth rainproof tented pa villion has a seating capacity of over twenty-five hundred people and a gen eral admission price of ten cents ad mits all. A company of thirty musical comedy artists are employed in each production and a distinct change of jiill is offered each night. A singing chorus of unusual excellence and a coterie of gifted comedians and danc ers are attractive features of the Greenwood shows. An orchestra of nine solo-musicians accompany each performance, giving it the volume and general character istics of the high-class productions seen in city theatres. An exclusive advertising contract with the Chero- Cola Company makes possible a liber ality and investiture that could not bo embodied in any ordinary road attrac tion depending solely upon public pat ronage at the trival price charged by the Greenwood shows. Owing to the fact that several years have elapsed since tented attractions of any merit have visited Americus, a large attend ance is predicted for the week during which the Greenwood shows will be here. ■ ffilßs MaMr "i I Sleeping Porch | | Vudor Porch Shades are perfect I for this purpose.
