A large audience gathered in the Pro-
vidence Opera House last evening to renew
acquaintance with Denman Thompson and
his refreshing piece, entitled The Old
Homestead" This picture Of rural New
England life is always entertaining be-
cause from the very first interest is sus-
tanned almost uniiaggingly. Its senti-
ment appeals to the heart even
il its development at times Is
somew hat maudliu and far-fetched.
Theatergoers like TO be- amused. A
hearty laugh Is relished, and "The Old
Homestead" is filled with amusing situ-
atoms and mirth-provoking antics. It's
mere thread of a play, but it
takes hold of the affection and
keeps 1t by its homely honesty and un-
affected simplicity. The audience laugh he'd
necessarily last evening indicating that
the play was sentirely enjoyable. As will
be noticed in the cast old fsvorites have
returned to the company and .
new player assumed the part OF Cy Prime
scceptably. Mr.. Thompson himself be-
gins to show the wear Of years and his
country dance in the last act was cut to
favor his lameness. His impersonation of
old Josh however was delightful. "The
Old Homestead" will remain in the city
all this week.

keith's Opera House.


Later On" is just as funny as ever II
was and last night standing room only"
was left at keith's Opera House when all
had gone in who wanted TO be amused and
knew that Hallen and Hart with their ac-
completes in fun could provide the means.
The laughable affair, to which this com
pany has given SO much thought and care
to make IL as thoughtless an free from
care as a stage performance could be, is
the same as in previous presentations
here, so far as the principals in the
cast are concerned, the humorous
names of the characters and in the fact
that there are three acts without such an
absurd thing as plot. But at the same
time no one in the audience last evening
could say that IL was the same thing over
again-the jokes were either brand new
or ut least OF this seasons crop and all
were good and there were new fea-
lures introduced under the head of
laughable incidents. The runaway eleva-
tor scene Is retained and Is still one of
the funniest things in the show. The
songs, including one or two serious ones,
are as good as the jokes and up TO date,
while the dancing is not a day behind the
times. And that, of course, is all there is
nation-jokes, songs, dances.
The piece requires but very little stag
ing but what there is OF it is very good,
especially the sea shore and summer hotel
of the first-act.
The costumes are handsome and the
group stage picture of the whole company
is very pretty and highly colored one.
Hallen and Hart are the stars on the
stage as well as on the paper of the an
nouncements and have lost none Of their
ability 10 entertain and the people with
them are up TO the standard set by the
principals. Miss Bessie Tannehill has
sweet soprano voice and sings
several solos during the perform
ance. Carrie De Mar is the
soubrette, and in the character OF Pansy
Weed can set the pace in agility and fun
making. Mark Murphy is another MEM
Der OF the company whose absence would
very materially detract from the enter
tanment His role is that of Bandanna
Clutch, the sheriff with ambition and in
digestion, anu his impersonation is all
that could be desired

TwENTY-ROUND CONTEST.
Critic and Dixon Fight Draw at
Boston.

BOSTON. June 29.-Five thousand
spectators witnessed one Of the prettlest
ights ever held in this city at the Ca
sino tonight between Dixon and Critic.
Critic seemed overfat. but he created
the impression that Dixon would have a
hard tussle to win. but here is where
the colored lad again proved his game
ness and adroit tactics he was cuffed
and slapped and cut about the face by
his heavier opponent. but on more than
one occasion during the twenty rounds
ii looked as though his left hand would
finish the Australian. Critic is a great
fighter. and no mistake but the impress
sion gained from the battle Of tonight Is
that at anywhere near even weight the
colored boy would win. Critic tipped
the beam at 135 pounds and Dixon at 1873.
For the first few rounds Critic was in
high feather. l3nding frequently and
with effect Dixon seemed wild and
into nothingness, while Grimo's move
ments Of almost perfect side-stepplng
and crossing were in wonderful style.
In the second round he was warned
by Echardt that he must refrain from
ruffing with his elbows the negroes chin.
He did as requested ard needed no fur

CONN RENOMINATED.
Three Conventions Held in One Day
ut Plymouth.

PLYMOUTH, June p. = Special. - In
this city today occurred three separate
and distinct conventions
The first, or the congressional conven-
ton. TO name a candidate for congress
on the democratic ticket for the Thir-
teenth district, met in the court house
yard and unanimously nominated lhe
Hon. Charles G. Conn of Elkhart, the
present congressman, for the place.
Mr.. Conn has made splendid record
and has the loyal support of all demo-
Gratis in the district.
The second convention was to name a
candidate for joint senator for st. Jo-
seph and Starke counties. and was also
a harmonious gathering, resulting in the
nomination of the Hon. Sylvester Der
ram of Knox, Ind. Mr.. Bertram has
served two terms in the legislature as
representative from Starke county and is
well and favorably known in the Sena-
torial district.
The convention, the third Of the day,
called to nominate a judicial ticket for
st. Joseph and Laporte counties. COM
prising together the judicial circuit for
the past eighteen years, presided over
by the Hon. Daniel Moves Of Laporte,
was without doubt the most exciting
convention ever held in the state.
There were contesting delegates pres
ent from Laporte county, and the unit
rule was attempted to be enforced by
the majority of the st. Joseph county
delegation, who were favorable to the
nomination of the Hon. George Ford of
South Bend. The fight for chairman was
so fierce that the opera house, where the
convention met, was turned into VERT
able pandemonium for a time, and for
fully two hours the scene was highly
dramatic and demOnstrative, but at last,
from sheer physical exhaustion and by
the wise counsel Of the Hon. j. B. StOll.
editor of the South Bend Times, and
others, quiet was restored. After an
other hour Of wrangling and fighting the
adherents of Il. V. Bingham Of Misha-
waka succeeded in getting an organiza-
ton effected, and the convention nCnlin-
ated Bingham for judge and w. H.
Breeze of Michigan City for prosecutor.
A protest against the vote whereby the
result was reached was filed by The unit
rule portion Of the st. Joseph county
delegates, who served motive that they
would not abide by the result and would
vent Bingham's name going on the
ticket. The feeling ran so high during
certain parts Of the proceedings that per-
sonal encounters between supporters of
the two candidates for the judgeslup
were narrowly averted through the in
reference of the police.
Hereafter Plymouth democrats would
prefer that st. Joseph and Lap0rte
counties nominate their judicial candi-
dates at home If it cannot be done with
less inharmOniOuS gatherings

together by Chairman Stranahan at 1910
O'Clock. The hall was decorated with

officers. which had been selected yester-
day by the state executive committee,
and Robert f. Wright of Allentown. the
temporary chairman, made a brief
speech.

Lancaster had been selected for chair
man.

isburg and II. X. Sloan Of Indiana were
nominated for congressman at-large, Da-
vid Magee of Lancaster for auditor-gen-
eral and Gen. w. w. Greenland for sec
rotary of internal affairs.
The Platform.
The committee reported the following
platform or principles:
The democracy of Pennsylvania renew

disturbances between labor and capital,
the reduction of wages, the unequal dis

conditions which have resulted from the
operation of republican laws, will con-
tinue so long as these laws are unre-
pealed. The Mckinley tariff bill is in
full force and operation. The enactment
of that tariff in 1890 impaired interna-
tional exchange of commodities. and re-

this condition has followed republican

declarations OF the democratic national

tariff laws be revised in accordance with
that authoritative declaration of party
principles.
