Bugler Zero Is Coming,

A story thrilling in heart interest,
and true to life in Uncle Sans new
navy, is shown in 1.-The Gunner's Mate"
which Manager Augustus Pitou will
present in all its grandeur and splendor
in Freeand on Friday evening of next
week. The play is modern naval
drama from the pens of William Nc
kiernan, dramatic editor of the Newark,
N. j., Sunday CaH, and Hugh j. Gala
CHER, one OF the original crew of the
cruiser New York. A happy and con-
sistant combination of comedy and
tragedy, love and hate, with series of
telling melodramatic climaxes, make
the play appeal strongly to the American
audiences.
The four acts and the five scenes of
The Gunner's Mate" fairly scintilate
with bright dialogue, quick consecutive
action, and strong thrilling climaxes.
The scenic setting is not only pictur-
esque, but true, the three scenes aboard
the cruiser New York being reproduced
from actual photographs and measure
ments.
1t is In every sense modern drama,
amongst modern scenes, and dealing
with the every day action of the blue
jackets of our navy.
The realism is made more real, as it
were, by the presence in the cast of
some real jackies, amongst whom is
notably Harry w. Zero, who served as
bugler on the cruiser Boston in the
great Manila fight. Bugler Zero has
been specially engaged by Manager
Pitou, and joined the company on
November s, when he received his
honorable discharge, after five years
service in the navy.

The d. S. & S. passenger train fright
ened a horse on Tuesday evening at
Beaver Meadow road, and the animal,
which was driven by an Austrian,
backed over an enbankment and upset
the wagon and driver. Very little
damage was done. The horse was one
of the team which was in the recent
railroad accident at Cranberry crossing.

From Today's Plain Speaker.
About fifty people who attended the
show at the Grand opera house last
night were disappointed when they got
down town to find that the last Traction
cars had not been held for them. They
were either obliged to walk home or hire
teams to convey them to the North and
the South Sides.
Either the Traction Company must
hold the cars for theatre goers or Mana
ger Walzer, of the Grand, must not ad-
vertise that cars will be run at the con
clnsion of each performance. The fail
ure to run the cars puts many people to
great inconvenience and better accom-
modations should be provided, or both
the opera house and the Traction Com
pany will be losers.

Roberts Will Be Barred.

Roberts, the polygamist, OF Utah,
will not be permitted totake his seat in
the House of the next Congress. There
appears to be not the shadow of a
doubt of this. Roberts married his
three wives before the antipolygamy
law was passed and able lawyers in
Washington contend that he has a le-
gal right to the seat; but it is admitted
that Congress could not possibly af-
ford to fly in the face of the unani-
nous sentiment of the country against
the elevation of a polygamist to such
a high office. Roberts will be deprived
of his seat in one of two ways: The
first will be to have some member OBJ
ject to his admission. Under the rules
Roberts will have to stand aside until
the objection is considered. The
House may never consider it, or 1t may
take olrect vote upon the proposition
and deny him admission. The House
is a law unto itself, and there is no ap-
peal.
Every Senator and Representative
in Congress is simply being deluged
with petitions against the seating of
Roberts. Every church in the Union
is represented in the protests and ev-
cry womans society also. The voice
of remonstrance is really so potent
that Congress would not dare ignore it

Trouble With a Cycle Path.

A cycle path In the upper part of
New York state was opened to the
puD..c, and soon after complaints be-
gan 20 pour in from riders whose tires
had been punctured on the new track
There was no reason why a perfect
riding path should not be obtained
An inspection of the first two hundred
yards of the path. where most of the
punctures were caused, failed to reveal
,-e cause of the difficulty. No amount
of sweeping sufiiced to clear away the
obstruction. lnally, however, 1t was
learned that the clnders for the first
quarter of a mile of the path had been
secured at shoe factory and that
there were tacks in the cinders. Ac-
cording to The American Exporter,
the head of the factory, when learning
of the facts, offered to share with the
county the expense of laying fresh cln-
ders. Before this was done, however,
on of the riders had a framework of
wood made and fitted with rollers and
handle so that it could be operated
ike a carpet sweeper, and then placed
six large and powerful magnets in it.
They were so arranged that they
would almost scrape the ground when
the machine was operated. This was
run Jack and forth over the ground
until the last piece of metal was re-
moved from the path.-Scientlfic Am

A bill to provide for a territorial
government for Hawaii will be intro
duced in Congress at the beginning of
the session. 1t is time that something
was done to provide a satisfactory civ
il regime for Hawaii Porto Rico, too,
should be dealt with at the earliest
possible moment. There is DISPOSE
tion on the part of most Americans to
accede to the request of the Porto Ric-
ans for a form Of government which
will make a close approach to that of
our territories. The Porto Ricans

New Court House.

I4e article in your last issue by our
well informed fellow citizen, Mr.. Bos-
worth on the Court House plans, pre-
sents some very good ideas. We do
net prepare plans of public buildings
nowadays after the fashion of %
years ago The printing press, tele-
graph and telephone have made us
cosmopolitan and our neighbors' work
and skill in Paris, Berlin and London
is ready at our call and so we do not
venture on these larger undertakings
without consulting them. Then the
methods of quarter a century ago
are now obsolete or fast becoming so.
The jury and the expert, spoken of by
Mr.. Bosworth, are only the means that
the people have discovered of taking
advantage of the knowledge and skill
of these great lights in architecture,
aBSmail cost, and it is remarkable that
we ban avail ourselves of these latest
methods and the skill of the experts at
so small cost.
Let us proceed in regular order
about this matter; be free as air, open
to all, up to date in every particular
and safely within the appropriation,
and we shall make no mistake. Let all
criticisms be in that kindly tone that
will carEy~ conviction and not get peo-
pie by ri cars. We cannot afford to
get into sRgie about this matter
We must at the outset eoncede that the
County Commissioners are proceeding
fairly and with caution. It is large
undertaking, and no doubt they will be
careful to get the best results possible
with the money they have at their
command.
II Is true that building that is best
adapted to its purposes can not fail to
be symetrical and comely in appear
ance.
What are some of the purposes to
which this building will be adapted? d?
First, it must be fireproof.
Second it must be large enough to
accommodate all probable demands on
a Court House in this county for at
least fifty years to come
Third, it must have Court Room
with faultless acoustic properties, well
ventilated, light-with large openings
for light and with a moderately large
seating capacity, a court room being
not for spectators, but for Court, law
yers, witnesses and officers of the
Court. At the same time all proceed
ings there are emlnently of a public
natuye and the seating capacity and
comfort of the audience cannot. there
fore. be neglected.

A Falling Meteor.

Grafton, w. Va, Nov. 17.-Much eX-
citement was created at Fetterman
and in this city thursday morning by
the reported finding of meteor in the
yard of A. T. Wards residence, which
had the appearance of the eruptlons of
volcano, lis supposed to have fallen
during Thursday morning while the
shower of meteors was on. The night
was too cloudy to witness the meteoric
display, and consequently when it was
supposed to have taken place when
everybody was in bed. Some time af-
ter breakfast Mrs. Ward discovered a
fresh depression in the ground in her
yard and began an investigation
which revealed fragments of a strange
hard substance, and with the assist
ance Of a neighbor lady, she dug down
into the ground and some two feet be-
low the surface found the real sup
posed meteor. 1t was estimated that
it woul weigh about Is pounds. There
is no doubt but that the statement of
Mrs. Ward is correct, and there seems
to be no doubt but that this strange
piece of mineral wandered from some
of the heavenly bodies, and that Mr..
Ward has reason to be thankful that
it did not alight any nearer his domi
che than the front yard.

First Shy at Senatorship.

Many kind of political possibilities
are involved in the fact that John R.
Mclean has taken a house in Cincin-
natl Ior one year from date He yes
terday signed lease for the elegant
residence owned by Auditor Eugene L.
Lewis at 211 West Seventh street, and
as soon as the place is furnished for
occupancy he will establish his resi-
dence therein. Mr.. Mclean will re-
main at the Shoemaker homestead, 410
Pike street, till next week. His lease
on that property expires on November
70, and it is likely that he will be able
to get into his new house either Sun
day night or Monday morning.

Editorial Afterthoughts.

John Bull cannot hope to triumph
over the Beers Without the moral in
iuence of the Jones vote.
Not satisfied with wireless tele-
graphy, the electricians have invented
trackless trolley for the Erie Canal.
In the present display of shooting
stars the United States can point with
pride to Lawton and Macarthur.
Congressman Roberts also threat
ems to resign, but he he is probably no
more sincere about it than Senator
Mason.
If we can involve General Aguinaldo
in the mazes of an American election
table 1t will be easy enough to capture
him.
No special importance need be at
tached to the Jones vote, but the man
who can coral the solid Smith vote is
Likely to sweep the country.
Another such rebuke as the Chicago
platform received in Maryland last
week would make Nebraska the ban
ner Republican state next year.
The Philippine question has settled
into universal desire to ascertain
how many more points there are to
which Agulnaldo can retreat.
Grouping the names of Dr. Rial,
Col. Bryan and Gen. Agulnaldo in the
Tagal redeemer class, is taking
wholly unwarranted advantage of the
dead.
In the United States Senate the
number of Democrats who support the
Presidents Philippine policy is great
er than the number of Republicans
who oppose it.
Nobody can excel Mr.. Bryan in
snatching victory from the very jaws
of defeat. Wherever and whenever
an election is held he manages to get
some sort of consolation out of 1t for
the Chicago platform.-Globe Demo-

Morgantown, w. Va, Nov 17.-For
several months rumors have been cir

one, given on good authority, is that
the Baltimore & Ohio Company will
assume control of the Monongahela
4-.ver road January /, 1900, and that
after that time through trains will be

er the Monongahela River railroad to
