with any satisfaction to myself At
the same time, in continually bringing
out new pieces it becomes very hard to
find roles which allow the creation Of
new types that shall be distinct from
the others. 1T is almost impossible for
me to find a character that viii not in
one scene or another embody or sug-
gest some feature of Prince Karl or
Brummen or Chevrial and the remain
der of my characters. And the reason
is, of course. that all men have some
traits in common with others, and at
one point or another their characters
overlap each other. Nevertheless the
actor should strive to stamp every part
with as much indINiduality as he can. >.

Greatest Political Rally Ever
Held Within the States
Boundaries.
DISPLAY OF PARTY STRENGTH
Practical Answer to the Exaggerated
Claims Made by Fusion
Leaders.

PHOENIX, ARIz., Oct. 16.--The greatest
political demonstration ever seen in Ari-
Zona was that participated in tonight By
the Repu oiicans of Maricopa County.
The city was crowded with people from
the surrounding country, the streets were
Illuminated by bonlres and colored lights
and the shouts of the enthusiastic multi
tude were deafening. a special train from
Prescott brought l50 men, accompanied by
brass band, and another train from
MeSa and Tempe brought 400 more to join
the procession. There were fully 1000
torches in line, and the procession was the
longest that ever threaded the streets OF
an Arizona town.
Addresses were delivered by A. J. Doran,
candidate for Congress, and Colonel
Thomas Fitch, who had just returned
from the East. They spoke to an I'M
mense audience in the open air. Both
speakers are bimetallists, but they heartily
indorse the methods proposed by the Re-
publican party to secure bimetallism.
The numbers in line tonight. and the
enthusiasm manifested surprised Re fu-
sionists, who have claimed that the peo-
pie of Arizona were overwhelmingly for
free silver. The indications are that Doi an
will be elected to Congress, aud that this
county, which has been q Democratic
stronghold, Will be swept by the Repubii-
