Tho Coming of Miss Kitty Choatham In
st,Jauep

The Coming of Miss Kitty Choatham In
"Jane."
The action in "Jane," the merry
comedy in which Miss Kitty Che stham
appears here Wednesday evening, De-
cember 18th, is so rapid and rollicking
that it is we'll to have in advance the
following little light on the plot: The
story concerns young bachelor Of OK
travagant ways who has been left
fortune providing that he takes unto
himself wife. The young man does
not fulfill this condition, although he
writes to the trustee Of the estate tell
ing him that he is married, and upon
this representation secures money.
The trustee makes sudden visit to
the young man. whose name is Shake
ton, and he finds it necessary to pro-
vide temporary wife on short notice.
He engages Jane. a housem aid, in his
employ, while William, a confidential
servant, wishing to do his master good
turn, engages another woman to mas
quersde as the wife, and the simulta-
neous appearance of Jane and Will
liam's protege is the starting point for
series of complications which never
loses interest until the end.
The Atlanta Constitution of Decem Der
8 has the following to say of Miss
Cheatham: THE coming of Miss
Cneatham and her appearance in Jane"
at DeGive's, of course, brought fine
audience, for Miss Cheatham, as a
Southern girl, interests all Southern
folks, and as Southern woman of
aristocratic birth, cultivation and in.
Unite charm of manner, she holds a par
ticularly important place in the gay
ciety of all Southern cities. Here
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Knowles honored
her after the play with beautiful
supper at their home, where a number
OF congenial spirits were summoned to
meet her.
The charming little actress left here
delightful impression with those who
met her personally aud those who saw
her before the footlights. The next
time she comes it is to be hoped that
she will remain longer, so that more OF
her friends may have opportunities
of entertaining her.

and addressed the convention as follows:
Gentlemen-We. the delegates Of Wicom-
leo county. have supported Judge Holland
with all our strength. We have voted for
him over $500 times. We have done this
because We believe he was entitled to pro-
motion. because he was from a democratic
county. and because we believe him the
peer Of any man In the judicial circuit. But
above all. We are democrats and represent
democratic people. We are not willing to
1eopardize party interest by allowing the re-
pubHcans the chance of electing a Judge,
and Wicomico will. therefore, withdraw
the name of Judge Holland, and move the
unanimous nomination of Judge Henry
Page. This motion was carried amid great
applause.
After the nomination had been announced

that they proceed to nominate an associate
judge. When the roll was called, Dorches-
ter voted for Lloyd: Somerset voted the
same. and Wicomico the same. and when
