calculated to display both the histrionic
and the musical abilities OF the members

rendered. Miss Marie Dressler as
Barbara, the orphan, was the drawing
card of the cast, but she was admirably
sustained by the other members OF the
cast. Miss Laurens and Miss Carey as
Minna and Rosetta had their share of ap-
plause, and Miss German played her small
part acceptably. The male players Arnold
as Waterman. Armand as the Captain,
Arthur Wooley as Piftkow, VIM. Wolfe as
Hackenbach and Rsnney. Jones and Read
as Toreiller. Hitman and Mifflin performed
their roles in manner highly satisfactory
to the audience. The principals In the

and their work is appreciated at its full
value.

CRISP CONFIDENT.

The Newspaper Accounts Lead Him to
Hope for Victory.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Representative
Crisp is quoted as spying that he was con-
fidently expecting practically solid vote
from the south. He also has assurances
from northern aud eastern democrats that
make the outlook very encouraging The
real contest for the speakership will not
begin until after the November elections.
The campaign will likely be short and
sharp. ~ am very well satisfied with my
prospects. / have a flattering number of
personal pledges. l presume that is what
all the candidates say, however. Every
one feels sure of his election, and, of course,
there are bound to be disappointments.
A LIVELY CANVASS.
"The canvass will be lively from the fact
that SO many new members are coming In.
1t has been remarked that not for many
years have there been so mony uncommit-
ted votes on the spsakership question. This,
/ presume, is true. Over half of the next
congress will be composed of new men, the
majority being proportiopately democratic.
These new members naturally want to meet
the candidates and make their personal ac-
ouaintance before they pledge their sup
port" Judge Crisp said he had been de-
pending largely on newspaper accounts for
his knowledge of his opponents Ii ovements,
and from wat he had learned that way he
had no cause to be disheartened.

The State Ticket Endorsed and the

New YORK, Oct. IA grand retifica-
ton was held tonight in Tammany hall.
Some stirring speeches we're made from
stands without and within the building.
Resolutions were adopted approving the en-
tire democratic state ticket, and in which
Tammany Hall pledged its support. They
denounce the policy Of the Republican
party as uniformly hostile to the best in
terests of the state. They protested against
the surrender of the state government into
the hands Of the party of Quay and
BardsIey. The speaker of the evening was
United States Senator Faulkner of West
Virginia. He spoke of the force bill as not
dead and compared this to being a
twin evil to high tariff taxes. 1t is
said that rattlesDakes and derringers go in
pairs. The force bill would result in mar
shals with bull dog revolvers and bayonets
in controlling elections and intimidating
voters. They will count in the elections as
Tom Reed counted a quorum, only they
would use bullets and bayonets besides.

GOsoHEN AT OAMsRIDaE.
He Denies That the Eye Elections Fore
tell Liberal Majority


LONDON, Oct. 15.-George j. Goschen,
chancellor of the exchequer, spoke to-day
at Cambridge, where he met with a most
enthusiastic welcome In his address Mr..
Goshen denied that the bye elections
furnished forecast of liberal majority
at the general election. The Newcastle
liberal programme, however, bristled with
dissolution. If the House Of Lords rejected
home rule tho Gladstonians did not intend
to dissolve parliament, but rather to try to
tinker aud fiddle with the constitution.
Responsible liberal statesmen proposed
to deal with the House of
Lords without anything to re-
place them. With short parliaments
aud paid members, good legislative
work would cease. Regarding the leader
ship Of the House of Commons he said that
MIR. Balfour had triumphed over the Irish
spectre. Nothing was more natural than the
most successful Irish score airy should lead
the unionist host in the House of Commons
IN their coming battles This important
statement made by Mr. Goschen confirms tue
report in regard to Mr.. Bafour and the
leadership OF the House of Commons.

past chief justice of the supreme court of

to-day to urge upon the President recon-

given for the desired legislation.
