GOLDEN'5 FAMOUS YANKEE.
Mr.. Richard Golden. the comedian,
appears at the Theatre Monday evening
az old Jed Prouty. he is the creator of
the part. but it has not been an insplra-
ton with him by any means. In his
boyhood he knew the quaint innkeeper
of Bucksport, Me. Like every one else
at I'll impressionable, young Richard
Golden Was forcibIy struck with the
quaIntness and originality OF the shrewd
and kindly Maine Bomiaee. The lad
admired the iair-dealing, outspoken inn
keeper. His personality made lasting
impression on the mind OF the boy.
Naturally the trained comedian pom
dered long aud lovingly over the curious
compound Of brusqueness and gentle
ness that went to the making up OF old
Jed Prouty. When the time was ripe
Mr.. Golden, with the aid OF William
Gill, an experienced writer for the stage,
wrote drama in which Jed Prouty
fitted Golden as does hand in per-
fectly-made glove. Wisely resolving to
hold the mirror up to nature the scenes
of the drama were laid in Bucksport,
where the real Jed Prouty moved, lived,
and had his being, and have succeeded |
in constructing n successful play out OF
the abundant material he found around !
Bucksport. In the support will be Miss
Dora Wiley, "tbe Sweet Singer of
Maine, who Impersonates herself as the !
plot OF the play relates. The engage
ment is for three nights and Wednesday
matinee.

Washington jan o5-Sewell c. Cobb representing
the Chamber of Commerce Of Pensacola, Fla, made
AN argument on the question of payment Of subsidies
IN American merchant vessels before the House Com
mittee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries today.
Mr. Cobb called mind the onerOus duties that the.
merchant marine had been subjected To during the

insisted that due to the shipping interests Of
the country that legislation be enacted that will give
some return for this heavy outlay in taxes Mr.. Cobb
spoke at length of the benefits that Pensacola would
derive from the passage of the Farquhar bill He
asserted that plant for the building Of ships wOud
be erected there and that all the conditions
for such establishment were centred in that
locality.
The speaker said that il the Government instituted
