IN ''Tscurs," written by MIR. FIJI. Chase
of Lynn, Mass, was presented last eve
ming at the Portland theatre before .
good-sized audience under the auspices
of Shepley camp. sons of Veterans. The
cast of characters was made up OF local
talent and as in all amateur productions
there were those who were perfectly at
ease In their parts and carried them with
ease and grace while the others were a
trifie stiff and stacy. The performances
last evening was practically q stage re-
bearsal, as 1t had been impossible to hsve
the orchestra together prior to yesterday
afternoon, owing to the occupancy Of the
theatre by other attractions. The audi
ence thoroughly appreciated the strong
points and situations and were liberal
with applause when strong play was
made.
Mics Louise NJ. Sweeney in her solo
ely" rendered in the third act, was
the recipient of generous applause for the
manner in which she rendered the song.
Miss Sweeney is possessed OF u sweet
voice and her effort was thoroughly APP
preciated. MIR. Hugh A. Sweeney as the
hero. is a strong character and.carried
out his line well. The particular part in
which MIR. Sweeney shows his talent to
good effect is in the prison scene in the
third act. The hero loosens the bars Of
the prison window and leaps for a tele-
graph wire running in close proximity to
the prison window. he catches the wire
and works his way hand over hand to
role which he slides down and makes
his escape.
MIR. Frank J. Mitchell as the "kernals
Pody 6uardt," Is a very clever Dutch.
man and keeps the audience In good hu-
NOR by his inimitable rendition Of the
part. Miss Louise NJ Sweeney a, Irene
Morgan. u Southern belle. Is easy and
natural in her part and makes q strong
character for the cast.
Mrs. Coombs as Hulda Whistler. "a
trifie old.fashioned, and Messrs u. K.
Paige as the farmer scout and Vim. 4.
Bradish as the negro, are each able in
their respective parts.
The play Is to be repeated this afternoon
and evening. The tickets have had good
sale for the closing performance and good
houses may be looked for.

Philadelphia, February 27.-The trial
of Senator Quay and his son Richard.
which 1t was expected would begin today,
has been postponed.
Senator Quay, with his son, entered the
court room promptly at 10 o'clock, the
hour liked for the opening of the trial.
On motion of District Attorney Roth
ermel, the trial was postponed until
April 10
The district attorney did not state his
reason for the motion for the postpone +.
ment.
Counsel for defendants objected to II
postponement and stated TO the court that
they had summoned witnesses and gone
to consid srable trouble to prepare their
caso and desired immediate trial.
Judge BETTER, however. granted the
motion of the district attorney for post
ponement and fixed April 10 as the date
of the trial
The Evening Bulletin says; mo soon
er had the postponement been made
| known than it was declared by high au-
thority that the cause for hating the case
was an astounding discovery affecting
the jury panel. Officials in the district
attorney office declined to discuss this
| beyond stating that there was only one
| reason why the trial should not go on,
the pTosecuii lion being entirely In readi-
ness TO proceed Rumor had 1t that q
case of impersonation had been detected
but concerning this no definite inforina-
ton was obtaiuable.
Upon the question of rampering with
the jury. the district attorney made n
most significant utterance in court, avow
IN that the postponement was duty TO
the commonwealth. beyond that he re-
fused TO speak save to say that 1t would
be unwise to give his reason at present
Judge beitler had been informed of It,,
and that suffced.

CAUSED SeNSATiO N AT HARRIS BURG
Quay Men Say Postponement ofTriaI
Was An Outrage.

Harrisburg. Pa, February e. -lhe
postponement OF the trial of Senator
Quay created "a sensation among the leg
islators and politicians at Harrisburg
Captain James NJ. Clark, who Is In charge
at the Quay headquarters says it is an
outrage. He claims Senator Quay was
ready and anxious to go ahead with the
trial and that his friends had every as
surance that he would be honorably at
quilted. Senator Meredith, strong Quay
man. says thu postponement means the
election of Senator Quay this week.
Mir. McCarroll of Dauphin. another
Quayite, is certain that his jury bill will
become law before the time fixed for
the trial. The bill is on the House calen-
dar for the second reading and cannot be
taken up before Mach 2lst. Capt. VIM.
Hasson, one of the House Democratic
leaders is confident that District Attorney
Rothemal had good reason to ask that
the case go over and says the postpone.
ment will have no effect on the 'enatorial
deadlocS, except to prolong 1t until after
the trial. This seems to De the general
opinion of the leaders of the faction ana
party opposed TO Senator Quay.
H. A. Van ValkenDerg, the leader OF
the anti Quay forces, says the postpone
ment was n great surprise.

JURY TAmPERED WITH.
One Reason Given for POstponiny
Quay Trial.
ENTIRELY A NATTER OF SPECU
LATf0N AT PRESENT.

Political Circles In the state Were
shaken 20 the Center--Qasy's Attor-
ney Says There IL No Evidence
Against senator.
philadelphia, February 21-Political
circles were shaken TO the centre by the
unexpected postponemsnt OF the Quay
trial today and there Is speculation In
every quarter as to the causes which
| brought 1t about. There is little doubt
that both sides were ready to 60 on. All
the PARTIES were on han1 and everything
was apparently In readiness when Dis
trict Attorney Rothermel asked Judge
BETTER to postpone the trial because the
| commonwealth was not ready
As soon as the sensation caused BY this
announcement has subsidized, Messrs.
Shields and Shapley. counsel for Senator
Quay and his son, put vigorous protest
against further delay. but the court
granted the request and fixed April 10
for the trial
When questioned aftsrward the district
attorney declined to give any reason for
the postponement, but added that he sub
mitted the entire subject to Judge Better
before making the application and the
judge had approved the reasons. He
added significantly that the postpone
msnt was duty TO the common wealth.
Senator Quay's counsel had this to say:
Tho fact of the matter Is that there
Is nothing whatever in the case Our ex-
perts have examined the books and docu-
ments. They are mutilsted, false and a
fraud upon their face. We are prepared
to prove conclusively that the entries
duplicating Senator Quay and his son
were made six months after tho alleged
conspiracy had been consummated, ami
the fruits, IL any. had been reaped. The
commonwealth must admit this. Their
own experts will te,tify to It. We ara
confident that there is not judge On the
bench today who would not under the
evidence available order the jury to ao-
quit"
Senator Quay declined to say anything
about tie case except TO express his dis
appointment at the delay.
Rumors were afioat all day; one that
the trial had been postponed because of
the death of former state treasurer Hay
wood had minimized the chances OF Sem
ator Quay's conviction and another.
which gained the greatest credence. that

The Great Presidential Campaign of
1900.

The policies of the great political
parties are now being formed and the
candidates discussed. The voice of
the people as recorded by ballot at the
approaching Presidential election will
probably decide the policy of the ma
tion for the next decade. Every citi-
zen must study the great questions that
are to come before the people. This
can only be done through the medium
of a great newspaper. Now is the
time, therefore, for every voter to SUBJ
scribe for the best and most reliable
newspaper obtainable. The Semi
Weekly Republic covers the whole field
of political news. While it is Demo-
cratic. it publishes the news in regard
to all political parties without preju-
dice. Its telegraphic and cable news
service is superior to that of any other
paper. It's special features are the
best. In fact, it is the paper for that
large class of readers who cannot af
ford or do not have access to the daily
papers.
Attention Is also called to The Re-
public'S Sunday Magazine. Its half
tone illustrations are alone worth the
subscription price. 1t is made up of
special articles by the best literary
talent, embracing variety of subjects
of current interest. News features of
absorbing interest are illustrated and
enlarged upon. For the benefit of the
ladies the latest fashions are hand
somely illustrated. The Republic Sun
day Magazine is always interesting to
every member of the family.
The subscription price of the Semi
Weekly Republic is S1.00 per year.
The Republic Sunday Magazine $1.25
per year. Both papers are now being
offered at the very low price of $3.50
for one year. To secure this low rate
both must be ordered and paid for at
the same time.
