THE DEMOCRATS.
state Committee Will Not Call a Con-
VentiOn To-day.

State Committee Will Not Cau CON-
ventiOn To-day.
The Democratic state committee recently
chosen will meet this morning at the Grand
Hotel for the purpose of organizing. The
committee as now composed is as follows;
First district, John w. Spencer; Second dis
trict, Parks NJ Martin; Third district, w.
A. Cox Fourth district, Lincoln Dixon;
Fifth district Frank A. Horner; Sixth dis
trict, L. s. Jackson: Seventh district Thos.
Taggart; Eighth district, Vernon Davis;
Ninth district, Willard II. Morris; Tenth
district Edwin j. Forest Eleventh district,
Thomas r.. Marshall; Thirteenth district,
Peter j. kruger There are seven
new members and six old
members Of the committee. The new ones
are Messrs Cox, Dixon, Jackson, Davis,
Morris, Forest and Shivey, all of whom are
said to be pronounced silver men. About
the only work the committee will do to-day
will be the selection of chairman, and, as
no one has been mentioned for that posi-
tion other than the present incumbent,
Parks Martin. there is no doubt of the re-
election of that gentleman. Heretofore the
custom has been for chairman to select
his own secretary and it is presumed that
| this will not be departed from. Unless the
committee decides to elect a secretary, ). l..
Wallace. of this city, will continue to per-
form the duties of that office.
There was some talk In the lobby OF the
Grand Hotel last night that the committee
might select the date to-day for holding the
state convention, but there is little likeli-
hood of it's doing so. While most of the
candidates who went down in defeat two
years ago are DESTROYS of an early conven-
ton, thinking that too great a postpone
ment will lessen their chances for renomi-
nation the consensus seems to be opposed
to calling the convention at this time. Mr..
Marshall, of the committee, seemed to voice
the general sentiment last night when he
said that he thought the committee should
adjourn for a month or such a matter be-
fore calling the convention. Very few OF
the members of the committee reached the
city last night, but large number of can
ddates for office and such prominent lead
ers of the free-silver horde as Gil Shanklin,
of Evansville. were conspicuous in the
Grand Hotel lobby bill evening.

Eugene Blair's production of East
Lynne" at Englshs last night was first
class as far as East Lynne" can be, and is
tecommended to lovers of the old emotional
play 1T really deserved a much better
audience, but the evolution of the emotional
drama in recent years has left East
Lynne" far in the rear of modern plays
which are meant to appeal to tirst-class
audiences. From one standpoint East
Lying might be considered an old-time
)problem play, when the problem was in
variably found in the contrast of worthy
and unworthy characters in the shape Of
villains and heroes. East Lynne ranks
among dramas about as stories by 1.-THE
Duchess rank in literature. The truly
literary class has drifted away from THE
Duchess TO Hardy and Anthony Hope,
just as the stage has given up the old love
stories for the sexual problems concocted
by Pinero and Paul Potter. For those who
still like East Lynne no better actress
than Eugene Blair can be found brave
CROUCH to serve it. Miss Blair has all the
dignity and grace of accomplished
actress and made the sad story of Lady
Isabel so real that she moved the audience
to tears with lines that have been familiar
for years. This new star has wonderfully
slronB urdmauc slItS combined Win
personality at once attractive and magnetic
Her voice is music itself and there is in
tense interest in all that she does every
moment she Is on the stoge. She exhibits
few If any of the tricks of modern emotional
actresses There is no scorching of the
lovers hair with passionate kisses, but
throughout the portrayal is beautifully
natural with a possible touch of the ideal
at times. Miss Blair's company is strong
also. William Bramwell is a manly, unaf-
fected Archibald Carlyle, and w. B. Down
ing modern cynical villain. Mrs. Ella
Wren's Cornelia Carlyle is a character gem.
Miss Linda Downing gives exactly the right
coloring to Barbara Hare, being assisted in
her sketch by one of those pretty faces and
the shallow, sugar-sifting creatures abom-
mated by all bg-hearted women. East
Lynne will be repeated tonight. At
Wednesdays matinee Miss Blair will be
seen as Camille" and on Wednesday night
Carmen" will be the bill.

ACQUIRE YOUR BRAVERY.
An Old Soldier Tells How to Overcome

Il would like to let young men know"
said an old soldier, that bravery, like
almost any other attribute, a be &C
quired. | would like to let them knew
this, because there are some poor fell
lows who are brought into the world
with Il timid nature that causes them
much suffering. While having an adj
miration for brave men, they feel that
they are towards, and, a~ccustOminS
themselves to this belief, they never at

do you know, | really believe that
most of the noted brave men of the
world have become brave simply by
Systematically overcoming cowardice.
Did not Lannes, Napoleon's most dash
ing general, say: The man who says
he never felt fear is a poltroOn and n
liar" But while Lannes thus, acknOwl-
edged to the sensation of fear, he never
allowed himself to show it, and that is
the point. Moreover, by practice such
things become easy. Now, if there is
any young man who is a coward and
wishes to become brave, let me say this
to him: Make up your mind first of all
that it is much preferable to suffer
death than to be trampled upon or hui

perienced you know the disgust, the
suffering, acute and degrading, that re-
suits when you back down in an unman

Say this, then, l much prefer to die
than to experience such feelings again.
Impress it upon your mind, ard then,
as a test to your spirit, force yourself
to face those things that you have been
avoiding from fright. If man has been
overawing you, blufing you, in plain
terms, lay for him deliberately, bluff
him back double, and if he wishes to
fight, throw yourself upon him with a
vim and punch hard; he cannot do more
than kill you; and. as you have made
up your mind that ii is better to die than

as it were, is n thing already pro-
grammed.
