POSTMASTER ROYALL DIES.
Old and Much Loved Citizen Passes
Away at Home in Union Hill
Saturday Morning.
Mr. Richard R. Royall died at his
home at 5 o’clock Saturday morning,
after an illness of several months. Mr.
Royall was a native Texan, born in
Matagorda County March 31, 1851. He
was thus 63 years and 11 months old
at the time of his death. He had been
a resident of Brazos County since
1876, the date of the founding of this
college, and had for many years served
as college postmaster.
He was a man of genial nature and
a kind heart. He was recognized as
easily the best educated man in his
community, and he imprest the writer,
who once had the pleasure of hearing
him speak, as a kind of village philos
opher. He was a consecrated Chris
tian and a member of the Methodist
Church.
He is survived by his wife, two
daughters, and three sons, all of his
children being married.
The funeral services were held Sun
day afternoon at 1 o’clock and fol
lowed by interment in the old Boone-
ville Cemetery, Rev. J. C. Thomson
officiating.

about winking flashlights in search of
the “booga man.” The effect was
quite weird and startling.
Robert O’Connor and M. Blankfield
gave a duet on that most natural of
all instruments, the violin, which was
much appreciated and applauded.
Miss Anita Park favored the audi
ence with three reading in which she
could not have been surpast by a pro
fessional entertainer. The last . of
these, representing an old negro
mammy crooning to her little picka
ninny, was a great treat to all of her
audience who were familiar with the
negro of the old South. Miss Park’s
mimicry also great added to the
charm of the selection.
The solos of Mrs. Marshall of Bryan
were much enjoyed and heartily en
cored. Her voice possesses that
pleasing melody which is so often
lacking even in the voices of the most
highly trained singers.
The solos of Mr. Case provoked the
usual hearty applause.
The climax of the evening came
with the appearance of the Zouaves.
Their performance was a marvel to
the onlookers.

“SEPTEMBER MORN.”
And now comes the welcome musical
comedy—the original fun bug—this
time it’s a brand new, up-to-the minute
musical tumble of song and girls, call
ed “September Morn.” It is one of
the best traveling organiizations ever
sent forth by Messrs. Rowland & Clif
ford, and the chorus is said to be the
finest collection of buds from the
Garden of American Beauties. The
play, of course, gets its name from the
painting of the same name which
stirred up comment from coast to
coast. The story of the piece has to
do with the aspirations of one, Ru
dolph Plastric, owner of an art studio,
who claims to have been the painter.
Of course, Rudolph does not even
know how to paint a picket fence.
The model of “September Morn” is
laid claim to by an actress who has
instructed her press agent to circulate
the rumor that he is the original. The
ludicrous moments when the two im
personators are dodging each other
and when the chesty old army officer,
who has fallen in love with the ac
tress, discovers that she is a good
friend of his wife’s, creates enough
laughter and plot for six musical
plays. The scenery is prettily de
signed and painted and the costuming
introduces the latest Parisian crea
tions.
The company numbers within the
ensemble some fifty people, all in all,
bringing about a new type of music
play with delicious fooling thoroughly
interspersed. The dancing numbers
are many, spirited, charming ,highly
enjoyable and welcome, the various
styles of the world-popular tango be
ing introduced in various attractive
forms.
Dainty Ollie Carew is seen in the
newest dances now in vogue in Paris.
Leo Greenwood and Barbara Douglas,
the popular musical comedy stars, al
so have big parts. Arthur Gillispie
wrote the book and the lyrics, Aubrey
Stauffer composed the music and
Prank Tannehill, Jr., staged the pro
duction, which comes direct from La
Salle Opera House, Chicago. Colo

“Choc” said that his greatest ambi
tion had been realized when the A. &
M. team, piloted by him, defeated the
University of Texas in Houston in
1908 by the score of 23 to 0.
This was the first time in many
years that the Aggies had been able
to down the Longhorns. That year
(1908) when the second game was
played in Austin on Thanksgiving
Day, the Farmers again triumphed,
but only by the narrow margin of 5
to 0, and it was “Choc” Kelly who
made those five points.
Last year Kelly was the coach at
the Southwestern Normal of Okla

managed to turn out a creditable
team. He is a hard worker with his
men and is a good judge of an ath
