Next Friday night Frank Mayo and his
New York company will open at the Sc
attic theater for two nights in "Pudd' n
head Wilson," Mark Twain wrote for the
Century Magazine a story of life in a Mis-
souri, village before the civil war of the
states. 1t was pervaded by an atmosphere
of the easy-going, lazy. drone of life, in
the South when the black man was a slave.
There were quaint. curious and most inter-
esting character sketches introduced to
tell the story. chief of whom was brief
less old village lawyer named Dave Will
caused him to be misunderstood by his
name of "Pndd mead"
OF this story Frank Mayo has made a
play. in which he enacts the title role. In
the play Mr.. Mayo has preserved all Mr..
Twain's quaint humor, witty wisdom and
pathetic pathos, and II II said that as Dave
Wilson. whom his neighbors called 'Pud-
dnhead. Mr.. Mayo has created q char
acter that reaches right out and takes hold
OF the affections OF his audience In a way
that will make IL as well loved and as long
of life as any character the stage has pro-
duced. 1t is said that 1t is hard to describe
the charm OF this play. 1t consists of an
atmosphere that carries you to the banks
OF the Mississippi river. and you are lulled
by the lazy flow of the Father of Wa
ers." while the drone OF bees, the fitting
OF the butterflies and the smell of fragrant
magnolia greet your senses. The eharac-
terixatfons. 1t Is said. are charming, and
Will live long in the memories of those
who are SO fortunate as to see them.

him full precinct delegation. was named
for temporary secretary of the convention
He declined on the ground that he was to-
tally unacauainted with politics. but he
was elected in spite Of his protest.
Mr.. Hagan. and Mr.. Lovejoy complained
last night tina. they had not been shown
the same consideration by the county COM
mittee as II had shown to the Burieigh fac
ton. They had been unable to get the
names of the delegates, returned. while the
secretary was about the Burleigh head
quarters. and. of course. the Burleish man
ayers did get the names of the delegates.
Many delegates had gone to the secretary
Of the county committee to obtain their
credentials, and were refused, which was
contrary to the primary law.
Harry Gordon was asked what basis
there was for this complaint, and he said:
None at all. The returns have been open
TO the Squire managers all the time. and
are now. / made a copy OF the returns
that came in yesterday and handed them
to Squire's secretary myself; also the
names have been published as fast as re-
ceived. None OF the delegates get their ere
dentials- II would take too much time for
the credential committee to scrutinize 3ss
individual certificates. so we have placed
all the city delegates on one certificate. and
all the country delegates on another. The
city credentials have already teen mo-
up and certified to in one certificate. The
country credentials win be made up in one
certificate also. and these. with the orig

day. His impersonation of Gen. Josiah
Timber. politician. is a most artistic piece
of work. both In detail and execution. In
brightness and v.vacity. In ever-changing
moods, In dry and unique humor, In fertil-
ity of resource, and in the ability to grasp
the conception OF an up-to-date politician
all things to all men. almost believing in
himself. watchful. weighing men. trading
on their vanity, touching their weak point
and yet always merry, hopeful. daring and
witty. Mr.. Reed has never been seen to
better advantage, and every tradition of
English speaking comedy is fulfilled in his
person The several acts go with a rush
and whirl. and when the convention has
adjourned, at the end Of the third act. the
house Is as joyfulfy uproarious as some
fayorite son in a real political campaign.
On Tuesday the comedy Lend Me Your
Wife" will be the bill.
