Col. Chas. G. Taliaferro has recently
received two imported hound pups.
When he first took them homo he de-.
cided to christen them Hope" and
Charity" respectively, but when he
set the first supper for them he con-
cluded to change their names, resolv-
ing to call one Pop and the other
Demo" He thought the names were
applicable from the fact that, while
they were friends, apparently, they
became foes as soon as the rations
were sighted. IF Col. Chas. would get
big Tom cat, call him REP" and
persuade him to hang around when the
pups 60 to their meals, and take every
thing on the platter while the "scrap"
is on, he would have living picture of
Barber county politics.

girl swallowed a screw It inches long.
A surgical operation would haye en-
dangered the child's life. The doctor
took some fine strands of raw silk and
mixed them with some bread, which
the girl was induced to swallow. He
waited eight minutes for them to re-
volve in the stomach. Then he pulled
on the threads, and the screw came
out, having been enmeshed in the silk.

FUNSTON ON POLITICIANS
Declares a Whole HelIs Acre of Them
OF No Avail

San Francisco, Oct 23.-Gen Freder-
lex Funston, in an interview this af-
ternoon, said: Il am getting tired of
the absurd claims that are being made
by certain persons of Kansas. Letters
have been written me by certain al
legged political leaders, claiming credit
for some order that has been of advan-
tage to the regiment or to myself. They
claim credit for the order to go to Ma
Mia, and further assert that I owe my
promotion to brigadier to their inhu-
ence. The claim that the regiment got
its order to come home through the in
fiuence of certain politicians is absurd,
and if these politicians had not used
their influence 1 would not be returned
to Manila.
THE fact of the matter is that the
Kansas regiment would have rotted in
the sands at Camp Merritt, would never
have gone to Manila, would be in the
Philippines yet, l would still be col
onel, and would soon be a private citi-
zen, had it depended on the exertions
of certain of these politicians. The
Kansas regiment was about the last
regiment to leave San Francisco, and
was the last but two to leave Manila.
A whole helrs acre of political influ-
ence would not have affected the order

1.-THE SIGN OF THE CROSS"

1.-THE Sign of the Cross at the Wor-
cester theater is without question one
of the strongest plays that have been
seen in Worcester for long time, and
it's strength is due more to the actors
who speak the lines rather than 10 the
lines themselves. The story of the play
reminds one strongly Of Quo Nadis
though, of course, it is much less m
volyed ana the play is not so heart
rending as the famous novel. Marcus
Superous, the wealthiest man IN Rome
and the favorite of Nero, falls il love
with a Christian maiden, Marcia, who
is a suspect, and under the surveillance
of Licinlus, the oedile of the district,
and of Tigellinius, counsel to Nero. IL
attempting to save the girl, Marcus
falls into disfavor with the oedile and
the cour sci, who, together with Mar
Gus lover, Berenis, complain of him to
Nero.
Berenis makes use of the well known
love of Poppea, empress of Rome, fol
Marcus, and through her aid persuades
Nero to condemn the Christian girl 10
death. During feast in Marcus house
he becomes disguised with the revelry
of his drunken guests and seeks Sc
clusion in another room. Tainted by
Blabrio he sends for Marcia, and ex
poses her to the gibes of his former
companions, then drives them from the
house when they threaten personal in
jury to the girl. When they are gone
he plea1s with Marcia for her love. and
being spurned, attempts to force her to
give up to him. but is foiled by a stroke
of lightning, which he takes to mean
a sign OF anger from the Christian 8
god. Next day Marcia is taken from
Marcus house at the order of Nero, and
Marcus goes to plead with the emperor
for her release, but to no avail. Then
he threatens Nero and all his adher-
ents with death if Marcia is not saved.
In the last act the prison of the amphi-
theater is shown, filled with Christians
waiting death. Group by group they
are led out until only Marcia is left.
Marcus comes to plead with her again,
saying that Nero offers life if she will
give up her faith, but after she ac-
knowledges her love for him, yet re-
fuses to abjure her religion, Marcus
confesses to be a Christian, and follows
Marcia to death.
By far the strongest scene of the play
is in the third act, where Marcus pleads
with Marcia for her love. Charles Dali
ton as Marcus and Miss Lille rhurlow
as Marcia leave nothing to be desired
in their conceptions of the parts. As
the Roman project Mr.. Dalton has just
enough of that impassioSe ed grace to
fill the part without oyerhowing it, and
Miss Thurlow is perfect in her simple
dignity. The part of Nero is small
one in this play, but w. e. Bonney
plays the role well and is typical as the
hard-hearted tyrant. Miss Agnes Scout
as Berenis, and Miss Winnie Caswell as
Dacia, realize ones ideas of what Ro-
man matrons of the time Of Nero We're
