one of the prominent stock companies
of this city. Indeed when Miss Allen
withdrew from the Empire theatre to
enter the stellar armament It is proba-
bic that nine out of every ten critics
in this city thought that her successor
would be Miss Hampton. Instead, Mr.
Charles Frohman saw fit to go to Lon
don after Miss Jessie Milward, the lady
who was 50 long associated in melo-
drama production with the late VIII
liam Terriss. 1t is possible that in the
roles to which she has been accustomed
nearly all her life Miss Milward has
not a superior in the word, but it is
almost certain that Miss Hampton

Stephen c. Fosters dear old song,
THE Old Folks at Home" or, as it is
more Familiarity known, Way Down
Upon the Suwanee River" Is the source
from which the late William C. Ster-
ling has drawn his theme and title for
the new comedy drama, "On the
Suwanee River" which comes to the
Grand Opera House for three days, COM
mencing Monday evening, October
18th, with Wednesday matinee. Many
pathetic and thrilling scenes are said
to arise in the four acts of the play;
one Of the most of which is the scene
in which the blind girl is about to cross
rustic bridge which spans a deep ra-
vine. A portion of the bridge has been
removed to make a death trap for the
girl. AS she approaches this part of
the span the old refrain of "Suwanee
River comes floating through the air
from a band of plantation singers in
the distance. The girls progress is ar
rested for a moment on the very brink
of the chasm by the music. She stops.
listens for a moment. and turning
starts in the direction from which the
singing comes. The blind confidence
of the girl on the bridge, the PAT tic
view of the audience and the eventual
safety of the girl certainly makes a new
and thrilling situation. Elaborate
scenic detail has been provided and a
competent company is promised.

The attraction at the Opera House
on next Wednesday evening, October
10Th. will be a new farce called "A Mis-
fit Marriage" by Mr.. H. A. De Souchet,
whose reputation was so completely
and speedily estiblashed by the success
OF his first play, my Friend From In
dia,' and whose subsequent works have
shown conclusively that the rich vein
of humor disclosed in his first play has
not been worked out. Mr.. De Souchet's
latest effort locates his action in the
city CT New Orleans on Mardi Gras
day when the spirit Of frivolity is al
ways given full scope and when absurd
ity takes the place Of reason. It's char
acters are selected from the interest
ing classes which make up the popula-
ton of that old town and its incidents
are said to be extremely ludicrous.
The dialogue is bright and sparkling,
and, as in his previous works, there
are a number of comic stage effects
which 1t is believed will prove novel
and striking though conforming strict
ly to the requirements of intelligent
farce. The first production Of the piece
took place in Washington on October
Sd and was enthusiastically received
by the audience and warmly praised by
the press.

That the teams in the Bayonne Rowing
Association tournament struck their gait
last Friday night is atteated by the fact
that last nights games showed the ex-
pected Improvement in all the con
t%estants.
The first game was between team l and
Team s and the former won out by a
small margin. They led the way from
the opening frame and while an extra
squirt at any stage of the game would
have brought victory to Team s, there
was hardly any danger of Team l losing.
There was a difference of but two credits
in the game and while the winners made
two strikes less than their opponents they
were four spares better off. High scores
in this game was made by Pyatt. He got
rs. Coles was second with 172.
The second game was a rafting con-
test between team 2 and Team Z. They
ran along with Team Z in the lead until
the seventh frame when they went to
the rear and Team 2 was six pins ahead.
Thus they ran along until the finish,
where Team 2 increased its lead Of 6 to 10,
and with this margin they won out. Team
2 had on more strike than team Z and
the latter had one more spare than their
opponents. It was a game that kept play
ers and spectators on edge until the
finish. Pyatt got high in this game also,
a total of 155. The scores follow

Abbetts great struggle with the corpo-
ratl9aS was not the first attempt that had
been made TO accomplish the particular
reform IN which ii ended. TIE people had
been shouting for it for years and years
in vain. They had been persistcntly balk-
ed and derided for their plans BY Eegisla-
ture after Legislature. Abbett's attack
was notable because it was the successful.
aud not because 1t was the first one. The
relations Of the parties to the ~overbear-
ing corporations and the effect of the con-
tinued suprnaecy of the Republicans con-
stitute ore of the vital points of view
from which the voter should consider his
duty, not alone in this, but in all am
paignS.
This is not to say that Foster IA. Voor-
hees, whom the Republicans have put in
nomtnation. Is q corporation man. He Is
not. But that is neither here nor there.
The question rises above and beyond
mere candidates. 1T concerns the natural
drift and tendencies of the party which
controls him. The movement of Republic
can Government IS toward the orp6ra-
tons. That is not exactly right either.
Rather say that corporations make the
movement of Republican Government.
Republican Government does not max
them. They rather make Republican
Government as the surest and most
natural means towards this accom-
plishrnent of their ends There is an
adaptness in the nature of things, of Re-
publicanism to the ends of corporations
and trusts n rich men and all that kind
of thing. One is the supplement of the
other.
Independent as he is, free as he always
has been of corporate influences, defiant
as General SewelI knows him to be of the
recognized bosses. Voorhees, woul be only
as a cork on thes surface. He cannot con-
troll the tide; that is Irresistible. He would
be only its plaything. tossed here and
tossed there by the waves, but all the
time going along with it. It's the tide
that sWells under him that makes the
drift, and the drift or Republicanisr1 is
made by the corporations for corporation
advantage. 1t begins at a corporation
starting point and leads to a COR
poration port. The corporations work 1t
at both ends and in the middle. They
start it here, carry it in all its tortuous
windings, and reap the profit of their
enterprise there. It is. as natural for q
on it rs for the Republican machine TO
have a corporation annex. Republicanism
and corporation are convertible terms.
Democracy and a-nti-menopoiy are the
convertible antitheseS. Once upon a time
Governor Albeit himself tried to put a
corporation harness on the Democratic
party of New Jersey. The breechen and
the moment the party felt their unwel-
come, their unnatural, touch.
The corporation is the dividing line be-
tween the parties. And in every contest
between them for supremacy the activity
OF ones ~sympathies with the great trusts
or of his opposition to them is the potent,
though it may be the unperceived, factor
in fixing the complexion and determining
the degree and gauging the enthusiasm
magnate-is always a hot Republican. The
mar who hates the corporation most bit
terly is the most uncompromising OF
Democrats.

Adali, the Turkish wrestler who is to
meet Jenkins, the American crack at the
Madison Square Garden in their matched
wrestling competition Nov 5, is following
the peculiar training methods of the late
Yoasouf, Cigarettes, plenty Of food, and
an occasional stroll on Broadway to show
his share IN the limit of his training for
International competition on a mat. Adali
is the only Turkish wrestler who ever
won a match from Yousouf and he feels
that he will succeed in throwing Jenkins
quite handily. The Cleveland wrestler en-
t~ertaias a very different opinion. He says
that if Yousouf could not throw him he
is quite confident that Adalit will prove
equally unsuccessful. Jenkins is follow
ing his careful method of preparing him
self for a contest OF skill and endurance
and will be a fine physical trim for com
petition In fact he IS so confident of
winning that he has just opened negotia-
lions for a match with Roeber.
