cheap watch will do as well as a good one,
and that all the difference in watches Is
the price. May be that II required
moral effort on your part to pay us $40 for
plain looking but honest timekeeper,
when somebody else generally offers you
gold watch for $3.50 and-just for good
ness sake-throws in gold chain and
charm. OF course 1t Is all tame
schwindle," as the Jew said when he went
yer lining of the cloud. II happens every
now and then that a person sends of for
a gold watch, gets IL, and then loses faith
in watches and humanity for ever and
ever. We think It would pay you to call
on us and see II we have what you want,
and II we can't suit you at all out of
large stock OF watches, why-it Is time
enough then to send out Of town for $2-A

New York, Oct. 16.-Frank Mayo, the
actor, has adapted Mark Twain's "Pud-
din Head Wilson," and has offered 1t
to A. NJ. Palmer, who speaks well of it.
The play deals in the race conflict in
the south in a rather original way.
What THE New South" did in one man
ner "Puddin Head Wilson" does in an
other
In short the play hinges on the inter-
change of two babies, one white and the
other very nearly so. The dramatic
contrasts are sharp and strong and
very well defined, but as a whole the
motive is little too repulsive. Mark
Twain is in partnership with Frank
Mayo in the authors rights.

Wilson's Path IS THORNY
His Big Tour of West Virginia Is Not
a Path of Roses.
CONFRONTED BY HIS VOTE
Idle Miners and Worklcss lLumbermen
Injured by the New Tariff, Do Not
Take Kindly to His Free
Trade procliyities.
By the United Press.

By the United Press.
Wheeling, w. Va, Oct. 16.
From now on the campaign in the
Second congressional district will be
warm. Now that the great free trade
leader has started on his hippodrome
tour of the district to wake up the apa-
thetic Democracy, the campaign will
get lively in earnest. The feeling is
that his cause is desperate and that it
will require more than the powers Of
his eloquence to get into line the
disgusted Democratic miners, lumber
men and wool growers lwho form so
large part of his constituency.
The first meeting of the hippodrome
tour at Charleston, Wilson's own
home, was disappointing to the mana
gers. The meeting at Romney was
tame, and the meeting at Piedmont
was a failure. Wilson now enters the
great coal and lumber region, where
the chief opposition TO him lies. At
Piedmont he strikes the West Virginia
Central and Pittsburg railroad which
traverses one of the richest coal and
lumber districts in the state now in
process of development, On that road,
within few miles, seven large spruce
mills are idle and thousand men out
of employment because the owners
say they cannot compete with Cana
dian spruce under the new tariff bill,
which puts spruce on the free list. In
addition the mines owned by the Davis
Elkins company are practically idle,
one mine alone, which a month ago
was shipping 1000 cars Of coal week
to the seaboard, is now shipping 200 a

a QUESTION FOR THE COURT.

Does Declaring Intentions of Becom-
ing a Citizen Give the Right to
VoteP
The question as to whesther a for
eigner VINO has declared his intention to
become a citizen of the United States has
the right to register and vote came up
during the progress of the registration
yesterday.
Otto Schulter, a German, declared his
intention of becoming a citizen of the
United States and was allowed to regis
ter by the registrars. A person has to
be in this country two years before he
can declare his intention of becoming a
citizen and he must then remain three
years longer before he can obtain the full
rights of citizenship.
Capt. John r. Dillon commended, under
the constitution of 1877, that a foreigner
had no right to register and vote, unless
he had become full citizen of the nation.
On this subject the constitution of 1877
says: Every male citizen of the United
States Except as hereinafter provided)
p years Of age, who shall have resided in
this state one year next preceding
the election, and shall have resided
six months in the county in which
he offers to vote, and shall have paid all
taxes which may hereafter be required
nm, and which he may have had an Og-
portunity of paying agreeably to law, ex-
cept for the year OF the election shall be
deemed an electOr, etc" This portion Of
the constitution. it will be seen, which
describes who shall be electors, says
nothing about male person being entitled
to vote who shall simply have declared
his intention of becoming a citizen, but
requires, it seems, that the elector shall
be citizen of the United States
Registrar Manucy differed with Capt.
Dillon on this point. The constitution of
1868 gives those who have declared their
intention of becoming citizens the right
to vote and be held that they had such
right. Capt. Dillon holds that the more
recent constitution annuls the provisions
of the former one
Schulter was allowed to register, but
those so registered who have simply de
clared their intention of becoming citi-
zens will be held in allegiance until the
matter has been decided by the superior
court. No others Of this class will be al
lowed to register until the matter has
been decided. Up TO the time the regis
tration lists closed last night there were
upwards of 1900 names on the list.
