BosroN, November The campaign has
been one OF brag and bluster on both sides,
and we believe the canvassers are unre.
liable. It is personal fight, the Republi-
cans declaring that Butler must go, and the
Democrats that he must stay. II the
Republicans can get out all Of their reserve
vote, and secure one.third Of the new reg
istration they will elect Robinson. But il
the Democrats get two.thirds Of this new
registration, one.third oil the so'called Re-
publican reserve vote, and hold third Of
the Republicans who voted for Butler
last year, thoy will win. Many old line
Democrats will vote for Robinson, and the
balance OF the Democratic ticket; but there
are many men who voted against Butler
last year who will vote for him
this year, some Of them because they
believe he has done good reform work, and
others because they believe his triumph in
Massachusetts, this year means the dlsrup.
ton OF the National Democratic party next
year. Boston will give Butler from 5000
10 10000 mpj ,rity. -~TnE PosT.

The Notorious James nalley wants q
Play Written 20 Atar In.

PHILADELPHIA, November 5.-James
Malley, one Of the Malley boys who were
lately charged with the murder OF Jennie
Cramer, was acquainted some years ago
with scene-shiiter in o New Haven, Con.
necticut, variety theatre. This gentleman
taught the aspiring Malley to black his
face and go through some double shuttle
dances. The ease with which he learned
this branch Of the drama convinced him
that he was cut out for the stage, but years
passed on without him getting any further
on the road to histrionic fame. After the
murder trial, during which James got
few hints for q judicial play, heswent out
West and became peddler for lightning
rod firm, probably the next worse thing to
being accused OF assassination In crimi-
nal court dock. In this business he en-
countered the elements OF two or three
thrilling tragedies, and the other day Ed.
win Swarlz, the wel-known Philadelphia
playwright, received the following letter
from him:
LAWRENCE, KANsAs. October 10.

It appeared that Mr.. SwarIz was in
Topeka some months since with theatri-
cal company that was producing one OF his
plays. While at the Windsor House a
stranger with stubby beard approached
him and the following dialogue ensued:

Churchill left with her friends on a late
train last night, f,r St Louis. She declined
to take any of her effects, saying that she
would be back next Wednesday, and re-
quested DR.. Fletcher to keep her place for
her. Prof. McElroy, elocutionist Of this
city. reports that Miss Churchill,
as% Miss Lockwood, came to him
last August for instructions in elo.
cution, and represented that her parents
were dead, that she was graduate OF the
st. Louis schools and that she had deter.
mined 10 go on the stage. Mr.. McElroy
discouraged her plans, pointing out the
difficulties in the way. She went away,
but returned again iu September and ar.
ranged date to commence a course In
elocution.
Mr.. AIcElroy learning subsequently that
DR.. Fletcher had withheld his consent de-
clsed to accept her as a student. In his
judgement she is stage struck. She does
not appear 10 have a very high apprecia-
ton OF her talent in that direction. She
sings very well, but her voice Is not suited
for dramatic work.

A widow ard Her Partner In Crime Az

MILWAUKEE, Wis, November ga
Princeton dispatch Gays Mrs. Ellen Long,
widow, and L. S. Whitemore, the father
Of the boy who was found in the river with
his throat cut, have been arrested for the
murder The detectives who have the case
had their suspicious turned to Mrs. Long,
because oil rumors that she once attempted
to poison Whitemore's Wits and failed. In
searching her house they found the bloody
clothes which she had been wearing up to
the murder, and butcher knife and two
rszors stained with blood. In the well
on her premises was found 3 club with
blood marks. Neighbors say that criminal
intimacy existed between the widow and
Whitemore, and that It was known to her
son, who was probably thus disposed
OF, 10 stop the scandal. The boy was miss
ing ten days, but tho father made little
effort to find him. The theory Is that the
boy was killed by Mrs. Long in her cellar,
and that the father carried the body to the
river and threw 1t in.
