Roof Garden-vaudevilIe

The plan of continuous vaudeville in
augurated last week on the Union Roof
Garden is still in force there and judging
ceived last night, will be for some time to
come. The system not only enables late
corners to get the full worth of their
money, but gives twice that worth to
those with whom punctuality is virtue
Not that both parties would not be amply
rewarded in any case, for the perform
anceS given are of the very first order
but that one always takes all he can get
OF the best at the rate allowed Were
the show not so good a repetition would
be unnecessary.
One new feature that will not be found
pleasing is the decrease in the size of the
orchestra While it is true that many of
the leading New York music halls depend
on a piano for their melodies, the econ
omy here is none the less desirable; es-
pecialIy as many of the acts are of an es-
sentially tuneful order. The loss is felt
on the dancing floor. too, and rather par
alyzed that portion of the amusements
last night.
The hit of a very good bill this week
is Lucie Rogers, a really dainty little
woman who made quite a sensation on
the road last year with THE Gay Matinee
Girl Miss Rogers is not only striking
in face and figure, but she sings with chic
and brightness and dances in a graceful
manner that makes one think the author
must have seen her before writing about
"the poetry of motion" Hepner proves
his ability as a magician to the satisfac-
ton of all oncerned-introducing few
elaborate but many original feats George
Crawford punches the bag in a manner
that makes one pity that unfortunate ar
ticle; Hussey and Webber extract music
from every conceivable source and the
Deltinos cause ones hair to stand UP in a
perfectly rigid state by their battle axe
throwing. The show in its entirety is a
good one. 1t will continue until Saturday
night.

New York, Aug. I-Secretary oddie Of

chance to win the cup"
Mr. Oddie continued: But although it

FURTHER REWARD FOR DEWEY.
Congress Will Be Asked to Revive
Grade of Vice Admiral

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: President
Mckinley and Secretary of the Navy Long
have determined to recommend the revival
OF the grade of vice admiral to be filled by
the promotion of Rear Admiral Dewey.
President Mckinley in his annual message,
and Secretary Long in his annual report in
tend to devote considerable space to the
achievements of the Asiatc squadron under
the command of Rear Admiral Dewey and
the splendid judgment and diplomatic tact
that officer has displayed in handling the
many difficult questions which arose before
the arrival of the American troops and the
capture of Manila. AS under existing law
Rear Admiral Dewey will reach the retiring
age in December. 1899. there is a strong
probability that Secretary Long will also
urge that Congress pass a law permitting
the retention of that officer upon the active
list for an additional ten years. A law per-
hitting such action in the case of officers
receiving the thanks of Congress for gallant
conduct in the civil war is now on the
statute books. but the authorities would be
glad to see the law changed so that officers
of the recent and future wars be similarly
rewarded. There is little doubt that Con-
gress will willingly adopt the recommended
ton regarding Rear Admiral Deweys adj
vancement.'
Secretary Long made the positive an
nouncement Wednesday that he intended to
recommend that the grade of admiral be
revised and that that rank be conferred on
Rear Admiral Dewey. The President in

Legislature. Their purpose is to bend all
the energies of the canvass, TO the election
of United States senator, and Republic
ans must take notice. They want Indanap-
oils. Evansville and Terre Haute.-Terre
Haute Express.
The LIST of last April the Indiana Bureau
of Statistics issued a bulletin giving some
interesting statistics concerning the admin
istration of affairs in the several counties
of the State. The net Indebtedness of jack
son county at that time was $129. 960.19 or
$4.5S per capita. None of the surrounding
counties have half so large an Indebtedness.
Lawrence county has a debt of S60,O00 Bar
thoomew $4,000, and others are much low
er. Only two other counties in the southern
part of the State owe as much as Jackson.
Why is this? What extraordinary improve
ments have we to show for this lavish eX-
penditure of money? Our public buildings
do not indicate so great an Indebtedness
The county bridges are probably no better
or more numerous than in neighboring coun-
ties which do not owe half so much. To be
sure, many miles of gravel roads have been
built in recent years, but surrounding coun-
ties have been and are doing the same
thing. The size of Jour county debt is
monument to the ringsters who want to
continue to draw salaries paid by the peo-
pie, but they will be retired by the election
of the citizens ticket on Nov. 8.-Seymour
Republican.

lowing stops being made in Iowa: At Gin
ton, ten to fifteen minutes Cedar Rapids
and Marshalltown, where the President will
deliver short address from the rear plat
form, and at Boone In fact, all along the
line the special bearing the President will

The response which the chairman of the
Democratic national committee makes to the
action of the Democratic conventions in the
pivotal States of Connecticut, New York and
New Jersey is the announcement that he has
selected himself, Ex-Governor Stone, of Mis-
souri, Ex-Governor Altgeld, of Illinois,
Senator Teller, of Colorado, and Senator
Allen committee on ways and means for
the national committee, making "Coin"
Harvey general manager. Harvey has
opened headquarters and sent out an appeal

money is believed to be a scheme to obtain
funds with which to fight the Eastern Dem
ocrats who are attempting to get rid of

cratic platform of 1900. The Joneses, the
Altgelds the Stones, the Tellers, the Aliens

time on the two elements of the party will
contend for control of the national conven-
ton. On the one side is the powerful organ

cratic leader of influence and Importance in
the Eastern States, upon the votes of which
presidential elections turn, and an inf1uen-
tial element in Pennsylvania. Ohio and other
States On the other side will be the silver
mine interest, if it has not already given up
the fight, and the leaders in the Western
and Southern States. who are already COM
mitted to the 16-to-1 heresy. Begun so
early, it is sure to be a bitter fight unless
the elections this fall give quietus to the
silver agitation by sending such men as
Turpie out of the Senate and electing a
House which will be hostile to silver legis-
lation and in accord with the President in
the settlement of more important pending
questions.
In Chicago the action of Chairman Jones
is regarded as notice to the gold Democrats
that no efforts will be made to placate them.
They must recognize such men as Teller and
Allen as Democratic leaders or leave the

ONE-SIDED ELECTION.
Democratic Ticket Elected in Georgia
by 10000 Majority.

ATLANTA, Ca. Oct. 5.-Georgia voted to-
day for Governor, a full ticket of State
house officers and for a constitutional
amendment providing that judges and So
licitors be elected by the people. Hon. Allen
D. Gambler, Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, was elected over Hogan, Populst,
by not less than 10000 majority. The con-
stitutional amendment is adopted. Hon.
Fleming G. Dubignon, chairman of the state
Democratic committee, gave the following
statement tonight: II estimate Gamblers
majority at approximately 10000 votes.
There have been no great surprises in this
election. Nearly two-thirds of the counties
which were carried by the Populists two
years ago have been reclaimed by the DEM
ocratic party, and the next Legislature will
be practically unanimous body. am con-
fdent that the extent of the fight of the
Poplists Is the last they will make in
Georgia. There has been no friction whatever
nothing has occurred which could possibly
excite censure. The white people of Georgia
are now practically united in politics and 1t
means Georgia will return a. solid Demo-
cratic delegation to Congress.
In Atlanta Alderman James G. Woodward
was chosen as the Democratic nominee for
mayor over Hon. r. w. Martin. To-days
contest is an election, as no other ticket
will be placed in the field. The Australian
ballot system was used for the first time in
the primary with great success.

trade of the country from the business of
ticket brokerage and resolutions were adont-
ed authorizing the organization of a central
anti-ticket scalping committee with subj
committees and representations from all the
States. The coming session of Congress
will be the objective point and energies will
be bent in the direction of securing drastic
legislation against the scalping trade
Speeches were made by A. Nj. Compton.
Paul Morton, G.. III. Daniels. Adolph Ma
than, A. ]. Erling and Lafayette McWil-
Jiams. Following are the resolutions which
were adopted:
Resolved. That general railway condi-
tons, the superior character and low cost
of transportation service rendered by
American railroads and the evident desire
on the part of representative railway men
TO cultivate a spirit of cooperation and
reciprocity between mercantile and common
carrier industries, furnishes good reasons
for urging manufacturers, merchants and
commercial travellers everywhere to use
their influence individually and collectively
to secure reasonable and necessary national
legislation in the interest of common car
rierS.
Resolved, That a careful investigation
of actual conditions and a study of the
criminal history of the various States. dem
onstrates clearly the fact that the practice
known railway ticket Scalping is per-
nicious in its effects, unfair in its results
is contrary to the American spirit of fair
play, is an evasion of the plain intent of
the interstate-commerce law as it reads and
therefor the practice should be abolished by
national legislation.
Resolved, That the government having
asserted the right to regulate and control
interstate commerce has therefore assumed
the responsibility of protecting common car
riers against unjust attacks upon their rev.
enues.
Resolved, That the chairman of this con-
ference be authorized and instructed to or
ganize a central anti-ticket scalping COM
mite with subcommittee in each large dis
tributing center throughout the country for
the purpose of cooperating vigorously and
continuously with common. carriers until
Congress shall permanently abolish the
vicious practice of railway ticket scalping.''
