A GOOD PLAY WELL PLAYED.

The performance at the Mozart Acade-
nv of "Jim, the Penman" is entitled 10
more than the casual local notice to the
passing show
The audiences have recognized an az
,is,ic Performance, complete in all The de-
tails and critically correct in every fea
ture, and the people have seen what a
good play is played by good players.
The most striking feature of this ex-
ouisite dramatic composition is that II
relies on natural effects, and not mechan-
ically arranged situations. There Is not
scene, or line. or a word that Is mol
an integral part Of the story, and the
close is complete in artistic effect. Mr
Frank Bangs in the title role is notably
better even than the splendid acton who
first acted The part here, being more pic
turcsque and bringing out the pathetic
passages better. Miss Brooklyn is per-
feet in fhe part of Mrs. Ralston, and the
whole cast of the play Is so excellent as
TO leave criticism nothing TO DO but
plaud the work of merited praise.

readers may obtain a fair idea of the
chances of next Tuesday II is supposed
that the 1913 votes of the Solid South will

count and an indepel d Mt Democratic
view of It. The dispatch from Indiana

tive that the State VIII 60 Democratic,

sary articles Of life.
1t is necessary to state again that the
South and New York, New jersey and
Connecticut will elect Cleveland.
II New York is safe then either lndi-
ana or the other two States would be
enough. Among the eccentricities OF the
election are the possibilities OF the Re
publicans losing California and Colorado.

patriotic stand OF the Democrats op-

publicaus have had time 10 deceive thou
sands of people with the theory OF pro-
lection, and the Democrats have not the
time TO tear the mask entirely OIL the face
of the Republican party and show that
their alleged protection is all in the
interest of monopoly.
