Mr.. Callahan's Faust exceedingly
pleased the audience that gathered at

Portland theatre next week. The prices
are low and the exchanges speak highly
of the company.
1.-THE Two Johns"
An exchange says:
An audience that shouted and howled
with lnerriment filled the Auditorium
last night. "Tha Two Johns" with the
original j. G. Ste wart and Paul Dresser
in the twin roles was presented with
many new and up-to-date jokes The
basis of the plot is the old stage favorite
of mistaken identity, and this brings
about many amusing situations in which
the two heavy weights figure largely.
The company is fairly competent and in
ciudes a q1artette whose excellent work
was rewarded with encore after encore.
If you desire a hearty, tingling laugh
that will. do you good like medicine,
go and see "The Two Johns and their
company in their funny antics at the Au.

or evening. You will not regret going,
take my word for it.
The Two Johns will be seen at Portland
theatre tonight.

There is great curiosity among musical
people to hear her and great house may

'"sAll expectations and the fondest hopes
being realized, the audience was not slow
to recognize the fact, and was unstinted
in its praise. 1t is not exaggeration to
say that Miss Yaw met last evening with
the most fiattering reception which has

WHAT Mr.. RAND SAYS.
He Will Give Hearty support to Mr.. Bax
ter.

MIR. John b. Rand was seen yesterday
afternoon by an Advertiser reporter. He
expressed himself as satisfied with the
result OF the oauouses. He had been fair
ly beaten py Mr.. Baxter but thought the
vote might have been closer if his friends
had had more time to work for him. The
fact that he came into the fight SO late,
handicapped him.
Mr.. Rand said that he should now do
all in his power for the election of Mr..
Baxter. He said he is Republican and
does not propose to go back on his party.
He seemed to be confident that Mr.. Bax-
ter would be elected. though he made no
definite statement to that effect.

statesmen OF all ages. None of the
girls claim to have read all Of these
ponderous books through. but they are
familiar with most of them.
Each OF the daughters have pecu-

most unique. "Be jinjo, papa,' she
says, "and you are all right. Rich
folks don't like jingoes because they

The trade of the island does not
amount to much, although Denmark
has tried to attract it by making it q
free port. Duties are charged on moth
officer in the place. Some shrewd peo-
pie have taken advantage of this to
smuggle into this country articles Of
foreign make which have been landed
at Charlotte Amalis. Vessels from st.
Thomas are not watched as carefully
as vessels from European ports, and
smuggling is comparatively easy.
Pilots are never engaged by the cap
taius OF vessels who have been in the

absolutely no reason for the hiring OF
a pilot. as vessel could not be run into
a dangerous place unless it we're done
purposely. High hills around the har-
Dor and vessels in it are completely
sheltered.
Seven-eighths Of the population are
blacks, lazy and indolent. The tenn
perature averages 80 degrees the year
through and is not conducive to vio-
lent work. Sugar is the main crop OF
the island and some tobacco is raised.
Occasionally a tidal wave, and once
in while cyclone, visits the island,
but these things only happen about
once in fifty years. Altogether it is q
pleasant place to live for people with
indolent natures. but the hustling,
rustling American would probably
soon grow weary of it.

has q daughter who he thinks is the
finest politician in that great state,
where politicians grow on every bush.
Miss Corinne Black burn was his right
hand worker during his campaign for
reelection. During last summer,
while her father was peechmaking
throughout the state, she looked after
affairs at headquarters. She at
tended to kilograms, letters and callers.
She answered the first two and re-
ceived the others with as much skill as
an old campaigner. She kept her
father posted about everything, and
sometimes put in sixteen hours work
day.
Col. Fred ID. Grants daughter, Miss
Julia Dent Grant, is her fathers politi
cal adviser, and she knows as much
about political conditions in New ork
as any one. Although she has met few
OF them, she is familiar with the doings
of various district leaders, informa-
tion which may be of value should her
father ever run for Office.
Ex-Governor James Il. Campbell says
that the best politician he ever met is
Mrs. Campbell. She is more of n
diplomatist than politician, and in
Ohio and Washington she is known by
all the big and little statesmen of the
day.

sections of the country. They know
where he is strong and where he will
have to overcome the greatest opposi-
ton. These thres girls are we'll up in
politics in general, and can entertain
their fathers political visitors in way
congsnial to the latter.
Prior to her marriage Miss Pauline
Whitney, now Mrs. Paget, kept we'll
posted on political matters for the ben
eft OF her father, William G. Whitney.
But the daughters energies we're all
directed in Il negative way. She WAS
opposed to her father figuring actively
in pclitics and did everything possible
to discourage him. The fact that Mr
Whisney has several times of late de-
cisred efnphatically that he was not
