Doomed to DisappOintmen ent.

1t is reported that Senator Wolcott has
slready received 5000 letters from his
constituents, asking for places under the
new administration. The total McKin-
lev vote in Colorado was about 10000, so
that apparently one in every twelve OF
these voters has already applied for a
postoffice, or some other federal office,
Inasmuch as the whole number of Offices
to be filled during the coming four years
will hardly amount to 1000, it is evident
that good many of the applicants will
be disappointed, while very few will be
appointed until the four-year term of
the present incumben,s will expiie.-

Opposes Obstruction.

The Washington Star says of JOS. w.
Bailey, the minor;tv's candidate for
speaker:
The speech of Mr.. Bailey accepting
the caucus nomination of his party for
speaker of the house was pitched in a
key thoroughly justlfying the honor con
tered. The purpose lie declared and
the advice he gave had the ring Of lead
ership. His ideas OF the duties of a
minority rise above the level of mere OBJ
struction. He recognizes the right of
the majority to frame and enact laws,
and as the Republican party is now in
power, commissioned by the people 10
do certain things, Mr.. Bailey, as his
partys leader, believes that mere OBJ
struction, even if it could be successfully
practiced, would serve no good or
worthy purpose. After the party in power
has gone on record and its statutes have
been tested will be time enough for the
democracy to make its fight. AS Mr.
Bailey points out, if that party's policies
fulfill the CLAIMS of their authors they
will stand; if they fail, as the democrats
believe they will fail, the people, in their
sovereign right and capacity will order
a change

The University of Pennsylvania does

VIII re Here August

The southern States OF America and
the dusky citizens thereof have a peculiar
interest and fascination for those who
have never lived or Travelled extensively
through the south. The negroes OF the
south are an interesting race Their
habits, customs and home life are but lit
tie known outside OF the lands where
they dwell. As natural musicians they
are not excelled by any people on earth
There is charm to the negro southern
melodies that has made them popular
the world oyer. There is distinctive
ness TO their music possessed by no other
music. Many OF the most popular songs
of the world have had their origin in the
south. A large company of real south
ern negroes has been formed and will
our the north and far west under the
title OF THE Al G. Field Real Negro Min
strels." The basis of the entertainment
is music and dancing and q correct repre-.
sentation OF home life in the south az it
actually ext t. in the cities and on the
plantation.
Wherever these people have appeared
in their entertainment press and public
alike have wed with each other in pro-
nouncing it the most unique and pleasing
OF the kind before the public. Their en-
tertainment appeals to all classes and is
entirely free from all Objectionable feat
ures. 1t is OF refined nature and has
captiyated all classes of people, no mat.
ter whether regular theatre goers or not.
IL is an entertainment that all classes
can visit with propriety. Every per.
former connected with the entertainment
is colored, gathered up from all sections
OF the south. Many OF the features and
specialties introduced will outriyal those
OF their white brothers. Surely the
negro Of today has advanced far beyond
his brother OF thirty years ago. The
company will appear at the Red jacket

Calumet Boys Did Not
Show Up AS Was
Expected.
Only One Race Was Taken
Nv the Cyclists From the Copper Dis
Judiciary Was Taken sick
aud Uns bic to Exert himself

The Calumet boys who went 10 lsh
peming last week and took part in the
races at Union park last Saturday after
noon returned yesterday but brought
back few laurels. Leary was taken sick
in the first race and was unable TO do
any GOOD riding the remainder of the
day and the Ishpeming boys proTed too
mu for either Light or Monroe, except
in one race.
The first race called was a new thing
to the Calumet boys. Ii was two and
hall mile lap race The track is half
mile circuit and in order to win the race
il was necessary for man TO cross the
tape three out OF the five times. This
made il hot race all the time. Leary
and Williams made pretty race for a
mile when the former had to quit on AZ
count OF stomach trouble from which he
did not recover during the day. vii.
liams and Olds, both Of lshpeming fin
ished first and second.
The half mile open was q pretty race,
Light and Monroe setting the Ishpeming
boys a swift pace but Williams big gear
won on the home stretch with the Others
close behind. The quarter mile was the
only one the Calumet boys captured.
Monroe and Light ran right away from
Williams and Ods and beat them luite
distance. 10th the Calumet boys showed
up in fine shape in this event, Monroe
taking first prize and Light second.
Leary decided TO enter the mile race,
sick as he was, and he and Williams
made pretty race, the latter winning
by few feet on the home stretch. Leary
was in had shape when he finished and
barely able to keen on his wheel. Mon
roe finished close behind the two in this
event.
There were several other races. but the
Calumet riders did not show up TO good
advantage in any OF them. few were
for members OF the lshpeming cycling
club and some were handicap races in
which the Calumet boys had not entered,
except one event, one mile handicap |
with Light and Kenneth, OF Ishpemipg,
on the scratch. Kenneth won with Light
a close second.
The IshpemiDg boys are certainly very |
speedy men, Williams in particular. He
with Olds and Kenneth and few OF the |
other riders will be here next Saturday |
and take part in the races at the Athletic |
park. Williams rides a high Reared |
wheel and is "A good rider. lie and Leary |
wi ! make pretty five mile and one mile
race next Saturday. Leary was NOT in |
proper shape last week, but will train |
this week and promises to make up for
what be lost at lsbpeming. Those who
have seen both men when they were in
their best form think Leary can defeat
the iron country man, anyway they will
make hot race.

The Story Of the Reformation;
OR,
The Life Of Martin Luther. d,

This intensly interesting and
romatic entertainment will be given
at Brookland on the IS and 10 ofthis
month for the benefit of the Lutheran
church of that place, by the talented
lecturer, Mrs. H. E. Monroe.
It deals with one of the most
stirring and interesting events in
history and the gifted lady makes it
impressive and attractive by her
eloquent lecture. Beautiful stereoptl-
gon views, over eighty in number, the
magnifcently executed dialogues,
professions and drills, the rem
dering in the most dramatic effects
of the various parts by the numerous
actors in the story, about one
hundred and fifty carefully trained,
makes this splendid historic play as
real as life and as fascinating as the
most thrilling romance in fiction.
Prominent among the scenes are
the grand military display. Luther
before Charles Y, at the Imperial
Diet at Worms. This has been just
ly called the greatest scene in modern
European history. Here Luther
stands before the mighty. The
worlds pomp and power are gathered
here. But the prestige of rank and
power and the glitter and blaze Of
pomp and show do not intimidate
him; but as true soul he makes in
marvellous speech that good confes-
sion unsurpassed in moral grandeur
in the history of men, Here l
stand! I cannot do otherwise. God
help. Amen"
The nun scene is touching and
impressive and does not fail to give
pleasure. Conspicious among the
nuns is CATHERINE Won Bora, lovely
in person and in noble family with
whom Luther is united in holy wed.
lock.
We trust that many of our citizens
will avail themselves of this oppitun
ity to witness thrilling entertain
ment and at the same time patronize
a worthy cause.
