of minstrelsy' took place, and n specially
concluded the performance. They are

1.-THE ROYAL SECRET"
Judging by the number of costume
plays which were produced during the
past season and which are promised for
this season, the public has made them
the vogue. Among the conspicuous pro-
auctions of this class that have come for
ward this year, may be mentioned "The
Royal Secret" which will be presented
here by Mr.. Wilton Lackaye and his 'ex-
celent company on Thursday night, No
vember 4. 1t is described as romantic
comedy, the scenes of which depict many
of the exciting incidents during the reign
of Louis XIV. The prominent character
in this production is Mondory, an actor,
and it will be impersonated by Mr.. Lack

WITHOUT A MARSHAL.
Party Strife Has Prevented an Ap-
pOintment.

Lynchburg, Va, Oct. 30.--The West
ern District of Virginia is without mar
shall, and has been since October "a The
fouryear term of Mr.. George w Levi
expired on that Hay, and since then the
district has been without one of it's most
important officers Mr.. Levi lives in
Berryville, but his headquarters have been
for Il year or more in this city. From the
Office here has emanated to Il great extent
| all the processes, etc. for the numerous
| deputy marshals. but in the present stu
alton the serving OF any new process is,
of course, an impossibility.
The authority TO do so is Mt present
vested in no one, and only the Ole process
SEES can be served. This condition of
things is proving rather embarrassing to
the United States Officials, who are in
attendance on Abingdon court, which is
now in session. Mr.. Levi il AT present out
of the city, and the clerical work is being
carried on by his clerks, MIR. Henry Levi
and Mr.. Frank G. woodson.
1t is stated that United States mar
shall would have to be- appointed ad inte
rim by Chief Justice Fuller to serve until
the PRESIDENT should appoint Mr. Levi
successor AS is we'll known, there are
two prominent candidates for the posi-
ton of United States marshal for the
western district-Mr. S. Brown Allen,
Of Staunton, and Mr.. Henry Bowen, of
TaZewell.
1t was due TO dissepsious among the
Republicans in regard to this Office, and
that Of district attorney, that Mr.. Lewis
successor has not been appointeu. Mr.
Levi wrote to the attorney general at
Washington some time before the expira-
tion of his term, and asked for informa-
tion in regard TO his tenure of Office
The reply which be received informed
him that his term of service would expire
by the .25th, and he received the full
amount due him up TO midnight last
Sunday night.

a CALM REVIEW.

To the Editor of The Times: AS we are
nearing the time foI determining who
shall be chosen in this legislative district
as our representatives in the house of del
egates, a casual review of the prospective
merits of two of the candidates now be-
fore the people, soliciting support at the
polls on November ? next, may not he
out of place.
Mr. K. Randolph Hicks and Mr.. Ws S.
McClanahan are the candidates. Both
are young and untried in politics.; both
are about 90 years OF age. Thus we have
nothing to direct our judgm emit in ohoos-
ing the man. other than their own merits
in private life. Mr.. Hicks was compare
tive stranger in this district until about
or Years ago, when he became first
known here associated In law practice
He has allied himself with the straight-
out Democratic party OF to day, pledged to
support all measures presented by his
party and in return may receive any IA
vors the party may have to disburse:n
the future. MIR. Hicks is an active mem
Der of the Shenandoah Club and probably
stands we'll with it's members. Beyond
his desire to silence the press in it's at.
tempt TO review his methods of soliciting
support but little Is known of MIN.
Mr.. McClanahan is a son of the late E.,
II. McCianahan, the head OF one of the
oldest and most highly respected families
of this district
That candidates. life and privatecharac-
ter are well known to this community
and throughout the district. In business
he is AN agent of many insurance compa-
MES; hs is actively identified with all
efforts and aims for the elevation OF his
fellow man. He is the president of the
Y. Nj. G. A. Of this city and is of self
sacrificing disposition when the best in
terests of others can he served. In his
candidacy he is an independent and prom
ises TO support in political life all that is
worthy of conscientious support The
object expressed by Mr.. McClanahau in
Offering himself for this Office is that he
may be enabled by an honest discharge OF
his duties to continue in the confidence
OF the public and thus be rewarded by
their confidence and respect.
Those of us who are satisfied with fol-
lowing in the old rut, and are willing to
go blind for party rather than principle,
will choose X Randolph Hicks, but tn ose
of us who are tired of following as will
ing slaves to party, at the sacrifice of
principle, will support w S. McClana-

In closing the campaign The Times
takes occasion to say that this pa per is in
ne sense political organ. While some
papers look forward to political cam
paigns with the s:me eager desire that
possess the small boys mind at the ap.
proach of the holidays and others cooley
calculate the price they will demand of
the politicians for their services, this pa
per welcomes the end Of political cam
paign as it would the passing Of IL blight
that has afflicted the community. 1t is
not all OF life to wage political warfare
bnt in this country it occupies entirely
too much of ones life either for the indi
vidual or corporate good. Fortunately
the animosities of political campaign
are shorJ-lived except in minds too weak
to unload them when the campaign ia
over, but such count for little before,
during or after political tussle. This
paper has never under its present man
agement taken up the political cudgel ex-
cept in II cause it believed TO he just, and
while is has experienced both victory and
defeat it has accepted the one without
Boosting and the other without humilia-
tiOn
