says:
It is pleasure to compliment a good
show. A really good one nowadays
is novelty, but last night New Orleans
people were treated to one of the most
unique and enjoyable entertainments
that has been given this season. The
Royal Marionettes were suberb. 1t was
a marvel to see the figures in human
shape present minstrel show then
play Humpty Dumpty; encounter fe-
,rocious male cattle and get tossed
through house serenade their neigh
bors and get pounded with bricks and
get into all sorts of the most ludicrous
scrapes and situations. Itjust runs the
boys and girls wild with delight and is
intensely interesting to everybody.
Then came small brigade Of canary
birds, that do everything they are bid
den TO do; play circus, shoot cannon,
walk tight rope and everything that q
gymnas5 can do. And then there are
pictures. It sounds common place to
say pictures but these are mechanical,
shifting from spring to winter, showing
lakes in beautiful romantic places
shimmering under bright moon then
the scene changes there is vivid
lightning, threatDing storm tossed
ship with destruction the life-hoats go
out; the storm Gains, thensWater sprites
and fairies appear In other scenes, Hoat-
ing on the surface of calm, smooth,
shimmering lakes. This feature is q.
grand one.
The price of admission has been
placedsFithin reach of all--35 and 30
cents-without extra charge for reserved
seats.

the President is the policy of the
Democratic party and, in the interest
of that policy, the party viii take the
initiative in the coming canvass. The
Republicans can have no doubts now
as to whom they will have to meet
and upon what issues. The policy
of the Democratic party is well defin-
ed and the party is of one mind ON
that policy and as to the leader who
will carry its standard The News
was off in its guesses as to the place
for the convention but for months it
has been sanguine of the choice of
the party for leadership and the line
by which it would march to victory.

Tue following little story of the
t'too much honest bootblack" So truth
fully illustrates the doings of one
class of human beings that we cannot
refrain from giving it to our readers;
not, however, that any of them are
given to condemn in others what
they would do themselves, but that
some of them have met with such
characters in their journey of life, and
this story will bring to memory some
incident with which they are familiar:
"Look here, mister! Did you drop
this here So piece?"
The party addressed turned round
and looked at the bootblack, as the
latter held out sinner in his hand.
"Why, good gracious! femme see
why, yes; you're fine boy, you are;
here-here's couple dollars for you.
That's right, my boy; be honest it
pays.
So saying, the delighted man slip.
ped the 50 piece in his pocket and
walked of.
''And you hadn't lost the money at
all?" inquired companion of the
fortunate possessor of the S., as the
two comfortably rested their elbows
on the Auzerals bar and proceeded to
hide the respective ends of their noses
in couple of glasses.
"Of course mott But you see / gave
the kid 81, which was certainly fair.
And I'm just SO ahead" exclaimed
the individual, as he toss the " on
the counter and called for change.
The bartender picked up the coin,
gave it careless glance and quietly
pushed it back.
Bogus" he said.
For the next minute it was so quiet
you could hear the beer foam.
"And this is the highly moral city
we read aboutF' bitterly exclaimed the
duped man, as he passed out into the
cold md cherries street. ITO think
that the very bootblacks are dishonest.
But his feelings were too deep fol
utterance.

Cotton aud Wooden Industries.

CHAIR. MILLS SPEECH AT PROVIDENCE
In cotton manufactures you excel
the world, and you can do the same in
wool A good many of you have wool
over your eyes instead of on your
backs. A good many think that Amer
lean wool is the wool, and that if the
Government will keep other wool out
of this country, theirs will be of more
value. Wool differs in gross, length
and fiber, and you have got to have
all these woods to manufacture goods
that meet the needs of the people,
Those who are trying to keep foreign
wool ont of this country forget that
we raise but 265, 100000 pounds of
wool, where 600,000,000 pounds of
wool are needed to clothe the people
against the rigorous weather of this
country. You are trying to keep the
wool from the poor, but it will come
and the other fellows will reap the
benefit of it. The wooden men of this
country have been coming to us and
asking for free wool. The first wool
tariff was in 1924. Prior to that we
had free wool Our forefathers had
greater heads than we have, and they
knew when the country was well off.
In 1924 the wool tariff was to foster
the ''infant business" and now, after
sixty years, the infant is amewling
and puking in its nurses arms.

TALK about your big games of bluff
but they all sink into insignifcance
by the side of the game now going on
in Europe. Bulgaria is in the pot and
the betting is high-awful high. Now
and again first the Gar and then
Bismarck have let the outside world
as well as their opponents, take a
peep at card, and the game goes on.
But show down is close at hand;
in fact the result of the game is now
evident. The Car has the winning
hand. Without gun being fired the
Russian troops will move across the
Danube, Ferdinand will get out and
the Car take the pot, while Austria
and Prussia smile and say it is all
right, and Russia is just that much
nearer Constantinople. There will be
no war
