THE FIRST TICKET.

The EXAMINER has heard
that the following slate
has been made up in Paris, to
be nominated at the republi-
can convention in September
next. How true it is we
know not, but here are the
names:
State senator, Bishop Clark,
Montpelier.
Representatives, Walter
Hoge, Paris and Bishop
Wright, Bennington.
Sheriff, Arthur Bulge
Paris. I
Assessor, Oliver Dunford,
Bloomington.
Treasurer, Bishop Beck,
Lanark.
Probate Judge, ]. A. Hume
Bloomington.
County surveyor, George
Davis, Dingle.
Coroner, Bishop Austin,
Liberty
Frank Weaver, commits
sioner for third district.
If this really is the republi-
can ticket, we feel sorry for
great many aspirants who
have been striving for a re
publican nomination, because
of the fact that they are shut
out on the first heat.
We feel sorry, also, because
it will take much of the life
and enthusiasm out of the
next republican convention,
that might otherwise be mani
fest, if there could be strug-
giles for the different nominal
tions.
But, by naming the ticket
now one good result will ac-
crue, and that is, that prospec-
tive candidates on this ticket
will not waste time and neg
lect business striving for a
place on the list. Thus will
they be better off financially
when fall comes.
However, for the good OF
the republican party, we hope
that the reported slate is only
the product of some imagi-
native brain and that the peo-
pie of this political belief will
be allowed some say when the
republican convention meets.

f1sh actress, Miss Nelson made her way to
the stage through the Royal Academy of
Music. Her childhood was spent at Wies-
baden, and it was there that she laid the
foundation of her musical education and
became an excellent German scholar. At
the age of Is she entered the Royal Acad-
envy with view to becoming q pianist;
but, guided by the advice of Professor
Randegger and Sir Joseph (then Mr.)
Barnby, she determined to cultivate her
voice, which is even now-though few of
her friends know it-a remarkably sweet
and powerful mezzo soprano. In quick.
succession she won the Llewellyn- Thomas
gold medal for decIamatory singing, the
Sainton-Dolb prize and the Westmorland
scholarship and a brilliant concert and
operatic career seemed within easy reach
of the beautiful young student, when some
amateur theatricals suddenly revealed both
to herself and her critics where lay her
real vocation. Mr.. W. S. Gilbert, ever on
the watch for new talent came, saw and
was conquered Within a few weeks Miss
Nelson made her professional debut at the
Lyceum, on the afternoon of March 81,
1888, playing Cynisoa to Mary Andersons
Galatea.
In the last few years the Cynisca of that
eventful day has played many parts. For
her specially was written Brantinghem
Hail." and if anything could have saved
Mr.. Gilberts unfortunate play it would
have been the young actress clever render
ing of Ruth Redmayne the Australian
widow. Her eventful connection with
the Haymarket theater commenced in the
following year with her taking the part
of Julie in "a Mans Shadow, !" and she
soon became valuable member of Mr..
Beerbohln Trees brilliant company, show
ing on more than one occasion consider
able versatility, as when, at few hours
notice, she undertook to act Lois in 1.-The
Ballad Monger'' and acquitted herself ex-
oellentiy.
Perhaps it Is as Drusilla Ives the fan
tastie, hayward Quakeress dancing girl
that Miss Nelson stands out most clearly
to the London pittite-most discerning
and shrewdeste of playgoers. 1t has re-
manned her fayorite part. Her personality
seemed woven into the role and has been
immortalized by moro than one painter,
notably the Hon. John Collier, whose
Dancing Girl was one of the pictures of
the year in the Academy of 1899. While
acting the title part of Mr.. Jones' play
Miss Nelson became the wife of Mr.. Fred
family group of players of whom the Eng
lish stage has SO much reason to be proud.
During the last two years Miss Julia Neil
sons name has been seldom out of the
bill. She was the Lady Ormond in
Peril" she created the title part in
'Hypatia, and in ga Woman of No I'm
portance, - 1.-The Tempter' and 1.-THE No
torious Mrs. Ebbsmith' added greatly to
the finish and charms of Mr.. Trees pro-
auctions.
