IN The CAMPAIGN
a. PILOT HOUSES
News and Views Of Various Political Parties
ami Political Managers.

In speaking yesterday Of the good news
Concerning Deinocra,ic prospects which he
found waiiIhg for him at Chicago, Chair
siuuaI coiLnttee, said:
senator Jones says We shall carry both
Michigan ana Minnesota. and agree with
him. There is Complete fusion in those
States of all the elements that favor the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
Regarding the sound moncy Democrats,
Senator Faulkner had this SO say:
Il do not think 1t will make much
difference what they do. If they put a
Presidential ticket In the field 1 do not
believe il will receive &c, 0GO votes in the
United States, although could wish that
all TIN, holting Democrats would support
il instead of voting for Mckinley. as most
of them Will do. l do not think that
many Of them will shoot in the air. They
realize THAT vote for Mckinley viii count
two against Bryan, while a vote for
bylting Democrat will count oni y one against
him, and their object is to defeat Bryan,
/ think it altogether probable, however.
that the Indianapolis convention will put
a ticket in the field to catch the votes
of Democrats who would not support Nc
otherwise vote for Bryan the little rel-
lows here and there. But all the bigger
men the men who are cnnscientiously OPP
posed to free and unlimited coinage, or
who oppose IL for pocketbook reasons,
will vote for Mckinley. That is my
opinion about it."

the most valuable metal (god the standard of value
and is thereby enabled to circulate inferior metal

public with the authority to decide whether gold

metal becomes commodity and the inferior metal the

disparity between the commercial and legal ratios

GOOD SHOW AT DAVIS THEATRE.
Some Old Time FavOrites Are Seer
There Again.

HSuIus
Harry Thorne and his clever wife.
Maggie Willett, are at Davis theater
for this week and they bring along with
them one Of the cleanest and most en-
tertaining vaudeville shows that has
ever been seen here. The two perform
ances, yesterday afternoon and even
ing, were enjoyed by unusually large
audiences. The show is so good that
every part is worthy of special men,
ton.
As curtain raiser a good, whole
some comedy, "An Up Town Flat" is
given by Willet and Rogers, McAvoy
and Thorne. Two married couples live
in the fiat, and the struggle for the boss
of the roost between wifeys and hub
bies is wOefully true to nature. Fol-
lowing this the Delmanning brothers
do some neat and novel dancing. Then
comes the greatest exhibition of Jug
glery ever seen in the city. 1t is given
by Leavitt and Nevello, man and
woman, who are styled on the pro-
gramme "Europe's Greatest" The dex-
terity with which the duo handle the
common three and four ball toss and
catch is simply marvellous. Nevello,
the man, does the most delicate balanc-
ing feats-but the only way to appre-
ciate them is to see them.
Miss Lulu Thies gives some charac-
ter songs and initiates with her lips
the songs of a half dozen kinds of birds.
After this is a sOmedy sketch by Nc
Aroy and Rogers.
One of the best things in this rood
show is Emil Hastings stereopticon
views. while William Corcoran in a
pleasing voice sings the popular senti-
mental songs of the day. such as Cast
Aside" "Only Me-" Mother Was a
Lady," etc., the colored views prettily
illustrating the sentiments of the songs.

COMMON PLEAS COURT.
Cases That Came Up for Consideration
Yesterday - Number We're Con.
tinued Until the Next Term.

What constitutes pulmonary dis
ease was the point at issue in the first
case called yesterday, when the third
week of common pleas court began in
the Federal building. 1t was in the
case of John Kelly, administrator of
the estate of Mary Kelly. deceased
against the Metropolitan Life Insur-
sured with the company for $3.50. She
died of pneumonia and the company
refused to pay but half the amount of
the policy on the strength Of a stipula-
ton in the policy that in case the in
sured died of a pulmonary complaint
only half the amount named in the
policy can be collected.
Major Everett Warren, counsel for
the defense, contended that pneumonia
is an affectatiOn of the lungs and all
lung troubles are pulmonary troubles,
and introduced the definition of pneu-
monia, given by Webster, in substan-
tiation of his contention. DIR. William
Haggerty testified that pneumonia was
a severe Inflammation of the lungs, but
was not a pulmonary complaint in the
general acceptation of the word. Pull
mOnary troubles are as rule long
standing, while pneumonia is frequent
ly of few days duration only. Fol-
lowing the binding Instructions Of
Judge Gunster the jury awarded the
plaintiff judgment for $230.19, half the
amount of the policy.
The case of Marthars Sowka against
Nicola Snyter for the recovery of tive
feet of a lot on the South Side was on
at adjornment. Hon. w. H. Station
and A.: A. Vosburg appeared for the
plaintiff, and T. p. Hoban, P. w. Stokes
and NJ. A. Mckinley for the defense.

had furnished an example that de-
served emulation and which had won

Since the bridge has been opened to
