The Democrats Of Chester. Ills, have
rg.uizsd q society aud christened it the
Randolph club. Many of the business
men of the town have joined it. The in
enton is to make it g permanent institu-
ton, holding regular meetings the year
around, keeping party organization in good
trim, debating party politics and educating
the young voters. Many prominent ILL.,
nois Democrats have been made honorary
menb ers of the club. 1t would be wise
aud timely move if the Democrats Of all
other towns in Illinois would follow the
example Of Chester. Young Democrats Of

here give the whole snap away" While
playing this wicked young man told bis
girl that every time she held tho jack Of
trumps her lover was thinking Of her, and

Hazel Kirks," by the Madison Square
troupe at the Opera House last night, was
patronizsd by large audience and one
that could thoroughly appreciate 30 refined
play when rendered In an uneIceptiona.
bio manner, as it was by this company.
The play was perhaps never more power
fully given. Every part was admirably
sustained, and the audience either went
wild with applause Or was wrapped In
mute attention. Many were moved to tears
at the realistic portrayals of anguish by
Miss Annie Russell as "Hazel Kirke." No
play or company ever gave better satisfac-
ton to an audience than did those OF last
night to the audience that witnessed them.
