ROQUEMORE WILL RUN
Candidate to Succeed Morgan in United
States Senate

1 Axe-Herald Bureau, Hotel MADISON, Mont
Gomery, October DISQUALIFICATION
John D. Roquemore is a candidate for the
United States senate to succeed Senator
John 7. Morgan. This statement is made
upon the authority of Colonel Roquemore.
Colonel Roquemore stated this afternoon
that he had determined to make the race
for the senate, but that 1t would probably
be several days yet before he would give to
the press an outline Of his policy. There
is much speculation here as to his probable
platform
The announcement of Colonel Roquemore
does not come a very great surprise. In
fact 1t was forecasted in a dispatch from
Montgomery to The Age-Herald several
days ago. He is an able lawyer and has
been prominent in state politics for num-
Der of years. AS to the effect of his cam
didacy upon the other announced candi-
dates there is not much talk 1t is not be-
lieved here that he will be given an open
field in this county Senator Morgan,
General Oates and Governor Johnston each
have strong following. However, a COM
promise may be effected, instructing the
four votes from this county for Roquemore.

apart, and the demonstration was one of
speed and accuracy Code messages, using
both the navy and tine international Morse
codes, were sent, besides numbers and let
tiers selected at random.
The longest continuous message was a
newspaper article of 200 words. In all,
there were six demonstrations, and the
work continued with intervals of prepara-
tion for about two hours. Signor Marconi
said he paid no attention Ito the speed at

particular as to accurcy. The equipment
overhead consisted only of wires strung
from the crossbeams of both vessels On

in New York

New York, October 27-At the Broadway
was a 25-round bout at 1873 pounds between
Eddie Connolly, of st. John, N. B., and
Matty Matthews, of Brooklyn. They fought
the full twenty-five rounds, and Referee
Johnny White declared the bout a draw.
1t was a hard fight all the way through,
and each man was disfgured early in the
game
At close quarters Connolly surprised
Matthews with singing rights on the ribs
and over the kidneys. In the seventh
Matthews left eye was badly cut and bled
freely. In THE twelfth Matthews caught
Connolly flush ON the nose with his left
and set that organ to bleeding. The if
teenth was the most sensational of the
fight. The men rushed to a clinch, both
pounding hard on the body with both hands
until ordered to let go by the referee. AS
Matthews stepped back Connolly caught
him With a left swing on the head, which
sent him down to the floor, where he re-
manned about five seconds.
few moments later Connolly landed a
similar blow in breakaway, and Matthews
took eight seconds of rest Matthews
got to close quarters when he got up and
some bruising work over the kidneys was
performed by both. Connolly did the larger
part of the fighting, and with smashing
left re-opened the cut over Matthews left
eye
Matthews was weak and clinched fire.
quently until the bell rang. From this to
the twenty-first round both men took mat
tiers easier. In the twenty-first Connolly
rushed Matthews to the ropes twice. Con-
nelly sent his right hard over the kidneys,
and hooked it twice more to the short ribs
Then they exchanged hard lefts on the jaw.
At the close of the twenty-fifth round Con-
nelly had such good lead that it seemed
certain he would get the decision, but the
referee decided it draw.

The incidental musical features which are
introduced in London Life" are both
characteristic and novel. In one scene
"newsboys quartette'' contributes diver
sion; and in another episode of the play
"costermongers' quartette" is heard in
typical street songs. These special features
are introduced merely by way of relief from
the strong and exciting situations of the
play In most plays where specialties are
interpolated, the action is impeded and the
audience consequently irritated = But in this
new drama, London Life the incidental
musical numbers are said to be so spontane-
Gus and typical of the scenes of which they
form a part that the audience is continu-
ously entertained and diverted. London

The New Night Owls

Fred Riders new might OWL burlesquers
opened three performance engagement at
the Auditorium last night to fair audience
and did quite the opposite from what was
generally expected. In the first place they
gave very creditable Performance, and in
the second place the entire performance
was void of any Objectionable features
However, there was just a slight saturation
of permissible breeziness prevalent.
The burlesque was very good and the
women were above the average in shapeli-
ness and looks. The olio was made up of a
half dozen specialties, some of which were
very good. Summing up the entire per-
Torrance it was far from unsatisfactory
and deserved a better house. This after
noon they will give bargain matinee and
tonight's performance will close the engage
ment.

wang

That merry and tuneful. opera wang"
will appear at O'Briens opera house this
afternoon and tonight with Albert Hart in
the title role of Regent. Mr.. Hart will be
best remembered as the tall basso secundo
of the Clipper Quartette, and he fills the re-
uuirements of the role in all it's details. 1t
is unnecessary to compare Mr.. Hart with
the original wang" as in physical pro-
portions he is almost the counterpart of Mr..
Hopper, and his carriage is SO nearly
identical, that it cannot be truthfully said
to be an imitation. Thus the lanky Regent
of Siam loses none of his amusing charac-
teristics and the part is full of the exag-
gerated comic element which makes the
title role prominent. Mr.. Hart is supported
by a company that is said to be unusually
capable.
