ETowAH CONSTRUCTED.

GADsDEN, Aug. 25.-fSpecial. 1.-The democratic convention of Etowah county assem bled here today for the appointment of delegates to the congressional convention at Cullman September i. The programme seemed to be cut and dried and the slate was carried out to the letter. A delegation of twenty one was selected to cast the seven votes of Etowah.
 The convention failed to instruct for Denson, though it is understood most if not all the delegates favor his renomina- tiop. No resolutions were passed indors- ing Mir. Denson or his course.
 The prevailing impression seemed to be as there were a considerable number Of the delegates present who were opposed to MT. Denson's renomination, that it would not be wise to provoke any discussion or his position or the whereabouts Of his "skilet," as his position seemed to be a hard one to defend from a democratic standpoint. In fact, mapy of hls friends, who openly advocate bis reno imitation, as openly declare they do not approve his course in our recent state campaign, but will take him because they think he is available, whatever that means. Several of his warm adharents declare it impera tive to tickle the pops and Jeffs in order that he may get there, and are of the opin ion that we have the conglomerates we'll fooled, for everybody knows Colonel Den- son is a democrat. The plans are nicely laid and we think the third party crowd will walk into our trap. We hope so any way to boat them.

THINGS DRAMATIC.
Bobby Gaylor as "Sport McAllister" to Open the Season--Besse Bone-
 hill to Follow.

On next Wednesday night the opera house will open with Robert Gaylor in his
 new play, 'sSport McAilister, One of the
 40o." Mir. GayIor is well and favorabiy known throughout the country for many years as a star on the vaudeville stage, where his peculiar individuality and rare originality won for him a national reputa- tion. No gross exaggeration, however, disfgures his work. What Gaylor repre- sents on the stage is Gaylor himself, as he is in every day life.
 The late Dion Boucicault, short time before his death, attended performance of w. A. Brady's After Dark" company and when asked by Manager Brady what he thought of Gaylor's acting, replied; '''I like him; he is comedian free from vulgar methods and exaggerated ideas, and one of the best and most natural stage Irishmen l ever saw.' This was praise from Sir Hubert indeed, for Boucicault wac acknowledged to be the greatest Irish con- edian of his time.
 The supporting company is the best that Gaylor has ever beon surrounded with, and includes, among others, the well known artists: Gilbert and Goldie, Maggie Field- ing, Mabel Craig and J. Carroll. A feature of the evening will be an exact reproduce tion of Loie FuIler's famous dance. One of the special features will be the origi inal living pictures from the Empire theater, London, that are now creating furor ia New York.
 BESSIE BONEHILL COMING. Bessie Bonehiii, the international favor- ite, who has just finished 360 nights in New York city, and her excellent company of comedians will be the attraction at O'Brieu's opera house Thursday night in the new musical comedy, 'Pfaymates. Miss Bonehill is one of the cleverest singing comediennes that has ever been seen on the American stage. h Eng land she has become such popular favor ite that she is known as "Our Bessie. o When she first appeared in New York she jumped into popularity in one night and was tue talk of the metropolis the next day. Her methods are refined, graceful and new.
 In "Playmates Miss Bonehiil assumes the role of young dry goods clerk. She is unquestionably the greatest male in- persouator the stage has ever known. The piece has some very beautiful and catchy musical numbeys and the latest London and New York hits are nightly introduced by big company of clever performers, who will excel in their respective lines. Famous among these are Gallager and West, Seeley and West, the great musical team; Sig. Borelli, real Italian count, who came over from Paris to play the comic role of Padirewski in ''Playmates;" John Pendy, the celebrated character ac- l tor; Miss sAlida Perrault, Anette Zelna, | Rose Beaumont, Lulu Leslie, Clio Vernon, Olive Tremaine, Cora Hart, Maud Pearson and ot hers. 4
