OTIS SKINNER AGAIN.
Otis Skinner's second appearance in
Roanoke this season was most enthusi.
astically receiver. BY special request
the company presented again the five act
romantic comedy, prince Rudolph" IL
very clever dramat:zatiou founded upon
the theme of n story, "Prince Otto" by
Robert Louis Stevenson. Mr. Skinner is
supported by actors of unusual ability.
The caste includes Miss Maud Durbin
and Frederick Mosley, both of whom won
place in the hearts of the Roanoke
theatre goers by their strong and clever
acting The play is full OF action and
gives Mr.. Skinner ample opportunity to
display his magnificent athletic figure.
Miss Ethel Winthrope is queenly in her
court gowns, and her acting is extremely
clever. Every part is in the hands of an
artist and the interpretations are excel
lent and the parts well worked up. We
can not re too strong in our praise Of
Mr.. Skinner who heads the list of roman
tic actors of day, of perfect stage pres
ence, having hearty. natural laugh, he
soon convinces his audience that he is
master OF the situation. Prince Rudolph
will always be welcomed to Roanoke.
The next attraction Will be "The DaZ-

AWARDED TO MIR. FARLEY.
The Contract for the Stained Glass Win
dows for the Senate Chamber.

The committee on the decoration of the
Senate chamber at Augusta has awarded
the contract for the stained glass windows
to G. Fl. Farley of Portland. Many firms
competed for this contract, as it is de-
sirable one for any firm to have. The
committee has moved with great delibera-
ton on all matters connected with the
decoration of this room, as it is intended
when done to be one of the most beauti'
full legislative halls in the land. The
decorations of the walls and ceiling by
Haberstroh, are now SO far advanced as
to give fairly good idea of the appear
ance when done. Col. Stevens will be
glad to have the use of his office once
more, for it has been so filled up with
designs and samples for the past three or
four months that he has hardly been able
to offer seat.

FUNERAL OF MRS. ANNIE N.
OLESON.

The funeral of Mrs. Annie N. OLSON,
wife of Mr.. John Olson. 28 Spring street,
took place at the residence yesterday at
2 O'Clock. A large number of relatives
and friends were present. AS the falnl-
ly are members Of the Immanuel Luth-
eran church, Rev. A.Aaron officiated and
delivered a touching funeral sermon.
He selected the emphatic text: Number
now, and see who is gone from US. ~
Sam 14:17. Realizing the sad fact that
some one was m ssed and none less than
a dear wife and mother, a sister, @ rela-
tive, o true friend Of many, faithful
member and hard worker Of the church,
Mrs. Annie Olson whom we all loved 60
well, there is great comfort in the assur-
ance that she separated in peace with
these very words on her lips in the mo,
ment of departure: "Jesus is with me. y
She is gone home and no doubt num-
bered among the sanctified at home
where we also are expected.
Many floral offerings of different designs
from many friends, covered the beautl
ful caket. One design was especially at
tractive, ''the golden gate. Besides the
bereaved husband, Mrs. Olson leaves
young child.

COUNCILMAN MAYBERRY NAILS A
FALSEHOOD.
TO the Editor Of the Press:

TO the Editor of the Press:
Portland, February, 10, 1898.
T wish to state through the PRESS to
the voters of Ward that thesreport that
I am not a resident of Ward z, which is
being assiduously circulated by certain
elements opposed to my candidacy for
the board of aldermen, is absolutely and
uroualifiedly false and was started by
certain persons who are we'll aware OF
it's falsity.
I have been legal voter and resident
of Ward for many years.
From the inception of the Australian
ballot system up to my election to the
board of common council, two years ago,
/ represented the Republicans of Ward
Z as election clerk.
I am ct the present time representa-
tive of the Republican voters OF Ward
on the Republican city commlttee ana
treasurer of same.
My status as resident ana vouer IN ,Gne Gne
ward is exactly the same today as IL mas
been all these past years.
q The fact that l take my meals uown
town, as a matter of personal convenlence,
is cunningly used to give color to the re-
port. To make use of matters OF ibis
kind in q systematic manner for tne pur-
pose of deceiving voters favorable to the
candidacy of any man, is, in my judg'
ment, very small politics.
However, an open, manly contest Is
too much to expect from certain elements
opposed to me and what l represent IN
this contest.
l do not feel disposed and cannot spare
the time to follow up in detail the cum
ming and cupidity Of such opponents, but
will await with confidence the verdict o.
the voters in whose decision am bounc
10 find either rest or recreation.

A DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.

A few days since when work was re-
sumed on the foundations of the new cafe
at Cape Cottage, it was found necessary
by the contractor to thaw out his dyna'
mite and for this purpose the proper ap'
pliances such as tin pail with hot wat.
er, etc., were supplied. One of his en-
ployes, however, an italian, thought mat,
ters could be hastened by using the stove
and put one Of the dynamite shells in
the oven. He soon discovered his mistake
for the shell exploded, knocking over the
stove, and the Italian in the nick of time
escaped by the window, taking the sash
with him.

Mr.. Welch, farmer of North Wind
ham, is mourning the loss of valuable
horse which he last saw on February 5.
On that day man who was stranger
appeared at the home of Mr.. Weloh and
asked to be accommodated by the use of a
horse for q few days. He told of course,
very nice little story and the result was
that Mr.. Welch was just kind enough to
do the loaning act.
AS the man drove out of sight Of Mr..
Weloh, be went in the direction of Port

turned about and took the road towards

ONE ENDORSEMENT ENOUGH.

Case.

Cumberland County Pharmaceutai SOciety
So Decides in Commissioner Partridge's
Case.
The Cumberland County Pharmaceuti-
cal Association held a meeting yesterday
afternoon at the Preble house. There
were about Is members of the society in
attendance President John Williamson
was the presiding officer. The meeting
quickly settled down to business and as
quickly disposed of it. A letter was read
signed BY Frank R. Partridge of Angus
ia. one of the Commissioners-o of Pharma-
cy of Maine, who is desirous of being
re.appointed to that position, but whose
candidacy is opposed by Hon. Joseph IL.
Manley, whojhas been using his influence
with Gov. Powers to appoint Mr.. Joseph
Young of Augusta to the place. The
Cumberland County society decided not
to uass resolutions of endorsement Sec
ond time. They have already endorsed
Mr.. Partridge once and sent to the gov
crnor a copy of the resolutions asking for
his reappointment. 1t seemed to be the
unanimous opinion of the society that
having done this much there was little
reason to urge them to go further. They
believe that the fight for this position
On the board Of commissioners has be
come a personal matter and that 1t does
not concern the Cumberland county
society very much any way.

LOCAL POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Ex-CounciIman John F. a. Merrill is
to be the Democratic candidate for the
board of aldermen in ward four. The
Democratic candidates for the lower
board SO far decided upon will be Daniel
Chase and Joseph Connolly. The third
candidate whom the majority OF the
Democrats will support sst the caucus mas
not yet been found.
In ward three the Democrats will noml-
nate William Il. Howe for alderman.
Lorenzo II. Washburn, Jerome O. Leigh
ton and Thomas f. MoGilliouddy will
probably be the candidates for the lower
board. In this ward there seems to be
no manifested opposition to the nomina-
tion of Alderman Rounds. 1t was our
rently reported yesterday that the little
coterie of politicians who have been con-
sidered as hostile to Mr.. Rounds have
been holding meetings during the last
few days and have decided to support MIR.
Rounds for the nomination. Strange TO
say there are many men in this 1actlon
who have been making the most talK
about the big man from ward three, but
who now seem to be tumbling over one
another to get into his good graces before
the time comes around for the distribu-
tion of patronage. Many ward three
politicians who are now holding office
have been notified that any disposition on
their part to kick over the traces will be
summarily punished when Alderman
Rounds gets into the upper board again.
This may have something to do with the
great anxiety manifested by some OF the
leaders in ward three to have the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Rounds made by acclamation.
