Several hundred escursionists went in

behcld the spectacle and who had seen
the bullhghts at Madrid are Of the
opinion that II was one Of the most

fought for life six bulls were killed by
the daring skill OF the Spanish and

and women clambered over each other

ADJUSTMENTS"

at the Opera House last night, a
crowded house saw the second Whael-
Ing presentation Of "At the White
Horse Tavern" the comedy that
achieved n signal success here last sea-
son. There are some changes In the.
cast, but the present company is an eX-
.cllent one and last nights performance
was fully as satisfying as the initial
one last season. The story is beauti-
full one. in which the landlady Is cap
tivating and good-humored widow,
whose heart Is as healthy as the ruddy
glow on her wcll-rounded checks. Jos
epha. that is the widows name. keeps n
pretty inn in the Austrian Alps, and
has for her guests n diverse lot of tour
lists from Berlin and other cities. The
mixture of their heart affairs, as well
as those of the hostess and her head
waiter are very diverting. In the many
tansles which ensue the hostess is one
of the msot interested. In her case the
old adage, true love never runs
smooth" Is humorously Illustrated. In
her disappointment at not getting the
man to whose hand she aspired. she
concludes that 1t is perhaps wise TO
marry the man who loves her, since she
cannot get the man she loved.

NESBITT AND

WASHINGTON.
They Address a Rousing Mass Meet
ing in the North End on
Wednesday Evening.
ENTHUSIASM WAS PRONOUNCED
During the Discussion Of the Issues
of the Campaign by the Two
Able Speakers.

At the wigwam Of the Washington
district Republicans an enthusiastic
gathering Of voters heard the Issues of
the campaign eloquently and convinc-
ingly discussed. The speakers were
Frank W. NesbItt, George Laughlln,
Henry Stock and Richard Robertson,
and they were all appaudcd through
out their speeches. The speakers all
made good Impressions and held the
crowd attentively during their ad-
dresses.
The meeting was called to order by
James Riddle. ST., who introduced
George Laughlin. candidate for the
house Of delegates. He made neat
speech and was followed by Henry
Steck. also candidate for the house Of
delegates. He was applauded when he
took his seat. A vote OF thanks was
then unanimously rendered them on
motion OF a member. S. G. Smith was
then called upon.
Mr.. Smith said he thought the ticket
should be supported from top to bottom.
He made reference to the Democratic
dobbery in building the county Jail and
denounced them In vigorous terms The
jail was only half built and Is not com.
pletc yet. Some day We will hear OF a
wholesale delivery from that institu-
ton. The Democrats accused the pres
ent board OF commissioners with dere-
lIction of duty. Could there be any
thing worse than not providing coun-
ty with the proper kind of n jail? He
advised his auditors to vote for the men
that would see that their votes are
counted and took the Democratic MEM
bers OF the board of commissioners to
task for not obeylng the mandate of the
courts OF Justice. He said the Republic
cans must support the local ticket In
order to keep In line with the party.
The speaker went on to say that Cap
tain Dovener would be elected by 5000
majority unless conditions change
greatly between now and election day.
He lauded our present congressman for
his work on the rivers and harbors COM
mittee and said he had done more for
thls district than any congressman thar
ever represented us In Congress.

Prince will appear at the Opera House.
In superb production of Hamlet"
the play in which such vital interest
is being shown at the present time. and
in which Mr.. Clarke stands foremost
among the younger generations of ac-
tors. As an actor of clever roles Cres-
ton Clarke Is striking. Interesting and
forccful. as his art always has the true
ring. and is at once fine and strong. Its
most striking characteristic Is the In.
tellectual force which pervadcs all his
work. His comedy Is easy and sponta-
neous. and his pathos subtle and touch
ing. In these roles he proves the pos
session OF the divine spark Of genius:
that power which puts vital force into
personation until the actor vnnishes
from the mind OF the spectator. and the
character Itself stands In flesh and
blood reality before the eye.
