COLONEL POLK IN KANSAS.
Washington, D. G.

~ Specials from Kansas indicate that la
Dor day was generally Observed as q holi.-
day, and in many places the Farmers
Alliance took prominent part in the
celebrations OF Jne day. The Legislature
passed law last winter making labor
day legal holiday. In Topeka the day
was observed on large scale. The pa
rade was very large. Sixteen hundred
employees of the Santa Fe railroad were
in line. The principal feature of the pa
rade, however, was the part taken by the
Farmers Allapce. Their portion of the
parade was headed by l.. l.. Polk, Presi-
dent of the National Farmers Alliance,
and James B. Weaver. Then followed
farm rs 10 great numbers. They rode
ponies, wore patches on their trousers
aud large sunfowers in their hats and
carried spades and rakes. They had sew.
eral floats, consisting of houses made of
wheat, corn and oats. Not only farm
ers but their wives assS, ,~,ren were all

was carried out Al the Ie.. hounds in the
afternoon, consisting of speeches by

The Jeffersonian Lawrence, Kan. says:
Few people, either in or out of the ALI
ance, know what an educational power
for good the Farmers Alliance is. The
curse Of the farmer, has been their isola-
ton, indifference and apathy upon all
public questions. Like patient ass he
has worked and saved for others benefit,
denying himself needed rest and his chill
dren the proper education OF the time,
until all the world began to look upon
him as only useful mich COW or honey
bee, to be robbed with impunity. The
Alliance has taught him to use his brains
and stand up for his rights Farmers
may not ss rule have yet fully learned
Just how and by whom they are robbed,
but they are thinking and learning, dis

THE TALK IN WASHINGTON.
The Presidents Policy Is to Show the
Chileans That We Have Formidable
Fleet We Can Put Into Action-This
VIII Quiet Their Irritation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Secretary Tracy
says that he is not looking forward to inn
mediate trouble with Chile, and every
one else here believes that in the course Of
few days the affair will cease to be food
for even casual mention, and will only be
recalled when the President makes men
tion of il in his message to Congress.
There is, of course always the danger of
some ill-advised action on the part of the
Chleans being taken, and fresh attack
on Americans in Valparaiso or Santiago
might be attended with very serious con
sequences.
IL is not believed, however. that any
thing more of this sort need be appre-
hended, and it is partly to guard against
this that such active naval preparations
are in progress. The Presidents policy is
TO impress the Chileans with the formida-
ble fleet we have at our command ready
for action at a moments notice, and he be-
lieves this knowledge will do more to
bring about an understanding than an in
terchange of diplomatic dispatches with
out guns To back them.
The hustle at the navy yards therefore
means only that to escape any response
bility which might attach To him for not
being ready for the emergency, Secretary
Tracy has taken measures TO place every
ship in such shape that il may be ready
in case of emergency to proceed to Chill
can or other waters without an hours de-

"Our Angel" at Iotbrop's.

A large audience gathered in Lothrops
Providence Museum last evening TO wit
ness the first evenings production of the
comedy drama "Our Angel, with Miss
Katherine Rober in the title role The
character as protrayed by her. gave the
opportunity for some very pretty acting.
and she gained the hearty appreciation
of the audience. Jack Kenyon as given
by Max Freeman was nicely rendered.
The william Hop Thompson, as
played by James X. Keane, was
of an ordinary nature. James Halls
Alfred Messimer, fresh from the fogs of
London, was rather tar-fetched, but his
hysterical laughter was somewhat con-
tagious, being echoed by the audience.
The Iachariah Peabody of Richard Lyle
was a good example of modern politi-
clan. while his wife. daughter of the
greatest Hamlet" rs given by Miss
Hattie Morris. was on the whole very
good. Teddy Ryan was nicely played by
III. X. Marshall. Taking the play as n
whole II was very pleasing. It Is full of
thrilling situations and dramatic eli
makes, with here and there some pic
turesquc tableaux. The stage settings
were very realistic and the mountain
scenery of Thimble Rock was quite ideal.
The play was preceded by farce en-
titled "One Hour IN a Hospital which
was written 10y John Phillips. who. i'm

in continual laughter. The play, pre-

A story Of Annie Pixley.

An incident which, TO those knowing
the circumstances. once created no little
merriment, and the report Of il since
having appeared in print, it is given be-
low. Annie Pixley Mrs. John Fulford
in private life possesses what has been
called one of the loveliest faces in stage
land. Ii is of "A tropical kind OF beauty,
either before or behind stage setting. A
Rhode Island lady who painted well in
minerals, desired to have Miss PiXley's
picture for PLAGUE. The actress, with
great kindness, sent several of her best
photographs, taken by Sarony, for the
artist TO work from. The PLAGUE was
finished successfully. Desiring TO re-
lady requested a photograph of the
lovely child of years, that she
might paint his head on COM
panion PLAGUE to his mothers. The re-
quest was granted, and, few weeks
later, n lovely, ideal face, with little
golden ringlets about the brows, stood
out lifelike from the china background.
Stage people are often unknown except
by their professional titles, and the artist
did not know the actress married name.
But, meeting in Boston one day the late
DR.. Orlando Thompkins, then owner of
the Boston Theatre, he was asked who
was Miss Pixleys husband.
McDonough, of her company" he
said
Now, that actor will be remembered
by many as jolly, good man, but
greatly blessed with avoirdupois, and of
not very handsome face. So,
before the PLAGUE was sent to
the kiln, this legend was put
upon the reverse of the piece First, the
name of the little boy and then ' Son of
Annie Pixley and William McDonough."
Then it was sent to her address. A
letter of thanks came back with no re-
marks. That season, when Miss Pixley
was playing an engagement at LOWS
the artist saw her between the acts in
her dressing room one night.
"Who gave you my married Names"
asked Miss, smiling.
DIR. Tompkins Of the Boston,
Then such a laugh rang ont as she
said: ''Oh If / don't pay doctor for
that he did it as guy on me-" which
was fact. When later in the evening
the painter of the .placque was intro
duced to Mr.. Fulford, man OF elegant
and stylish appearance, the hugeness OF
the joke became even more apparent.
Ii was not many months later, when
the dear, little face pictured on the plates
was lying white and beautiful, with the
long, dark lashes resting on the marble
like cheeks in tiny coffin, and Annie
Pixley, who had made so many hearts
light by the aid of her talents, stood al
most heart broken beside the dead body
of her only child. She said then, II feel
as if | could never take up my profession
again, or do aught but mourn" But
like the noble woman she is, she took il
up again and still adorns her profession,
proving woman may be noble and
good, and still an actress.

Tho Tonrih Promenade Concert.

The Fourth Promenade Concert.
The fourth in the series of promenade
concerts at Music Hall was given last
evening and met with the success that
has characterized previous efforts. A
notable innovation in the arrangement
of the hall was the circle of seats rang
ing around the flower booth in the cen
tire. Reeves and his unexcelled band
rendered the usual fine selections, and
Miss N. Salome Thomas in vocal solos
was extremely good Her bird song was
especially pleasing. Miss Edith Kent, gave
several selections on the piano. Miss
Kent is an artistic of great ability and
has famous career before her. In the
difficult passages of the "Capriccio " in
Il minor she showed deep study and
comprehensive knowledge of music.
The solos by B. X. Church, Max

also rendered in their usual good style.

has led the management TO make plans
for Thanksgiving festival ana prone
made, Thursday afternoon and evening,

ranged and several celebrated soloists
will participate.
