THINGS DRAMATIC.

''The Queen of Liars" was produced at OBriens opera house last night for the first time. It is a well constructed play and as presented by Minnie Maddern Fiske and her excellent supporting com pany gave general satisfaction to the audience that saw it last night Marie DeLoche, the principal charac- ter, who, believing her husband dead, marries again. Discovering that her first husband still lives, she tries to conceal it from her second whom she has never told of her past life. The second hus- band, Marcel Nattier, is disowned by his mother Countess Nattier, for marry ing Marie DeLoche, and together they go to Paris to live. Marie there discovers her first husband lives and makes daily visits to his apartments.
 After eighteen months the interces- sions of a priest secure the mothers par don for her son, whom she visits at her Paris home. On the evening of her ar rival the priest. who accompanies her, invites Jacques Oliver, Marie's first hus- band, to dine with them at Matters home. Marie persuades Nattier to send Oliver a note not to come, but to come the next night. He comes, and to ay0Ld meeting the two men together she poi sons herself.
 The play gives ample opportunity for MfS.

"The Prize Winner. "

Handsome, manly, talented Charles A. Gardner, known as Karl, the Sweet Singer, the peer of all German come dians, will appear here next Thursday night, at O'Brien's opera house, in "The Prize Winner" The play portrays the life of a heroic German turner who wins the prize at "turnfest." developing an interesting story of love and devotion, devoid of the modern melodramatic clap trap, but abounding in intense heart in- terest. The scenes are laid in the Aus trian Tyrol and are reproductions of pho tographic views of that picturesque coun- try The naturalness of the action of the piece is considerably heightened by the introduction of a troupe of Tyrolean singers and dancers. MT. Gardner will also render his famous songs: "The Turner's Triumph "A Butterfly Song,' "The German Flower Girl" "Gesund- heit," Wedding Bells,' and that sweet est of modern ditties, Apple Blossoms, D which is destined to become as popular as his farfamed -song. "Lilacs." The supporting company is one of exceptional strength, including the well-known Rumley children. who will be heard to excellent advantage in several songs with MT. Gardner.

the State was orderly and rapidly con-
Quoted, and the results were quickly
compiled.

said that great many of em will not
come back at all.
The discussion of the remaining Sec
tions of the suffrage article was begun
tonight. The convention, by q vote
of so to 81, just seven more than
a quorum voting, killed the provis-
ion requiring that managers of cleo
tions shall be equally divided between the
two parties casting the highest number
of votes at a preceding election. There
was little or no debate on the subject
before the vote as taken. Another effort
was made to get in wcman's suffrage in
municipal elections where the question
of issuing bonds is at stake, but it failed
as.all other similar propositions had done.

that the Republican plurality in Hamil-

A LANDSLIDE IN MARYLAND.
fNot a Leg Lett for the Democratic
Party to Stand on.


- BALTIMORE, Nov. 5-Returns from
both the city and State are slow in COM
ing to hand. and up to midnight not a
single county in the State, nor a ward
in the city has been completely counted.
There are enough returns, however, to
indicate that there has been q landslide
IN Maryland and that the Democratic
ticket is underneath it, by majorities
ranging from 5000 upwards.
There seems to be no room for doubt
that the Republicans have elected their
entire State and city ticket, and that
they will have a working majority in the
next Legislature which will choose sue
cessor to United States Senator Gibson
Even Howard county, the home
of Senator German, has apparently
reversed its normal Democratic ma
jority of 500 and gives Lowndes
(Republican) for Governor a majority of
at least that number of votes. Balti-
more city goes for the Republican ticket,
both State and municipal, by majorities
ranging from 5000 to 5000, and both
branches of the city council will proba-
bly, be Republican for the first time in
many years In fact there is not leg
left for the Democratic party to stand on

the safest Democratic States in the
Union.
