ADJUSTMENTS.

"Zaza", David Belasco's version of Berton of modern dramas. attracted the largest au- dience of the season to the Jeeffrson Thea tre last night, and while the cast was not up to last years presentation the perfor- nance was in every way q success. . The play which Is intensely dramatic, seen it before, and while the atmosphere is decidedly unsavory, the moral is strong, and despite the differences among critics as to its wholesomeness, it's success has been writ by the public, who after all is the best critic.
 The story of Zaza is a familiar one, but the author has given it fresh interest and animation from a dramatic viewpoint, which has placed 1t in the front ranks of tho emotional plays.
 Blanche Hall as "Zaza" Is good, even ex-- celient, provided one has not seen Mable Howard, who portrayed the role last year.
 Miss Hall lacks the personal attractive ness of Miss Howard, although she Is her self a pretty woman. She also lacks the dramatic force which Miss Howard pos sesses and uses to excellent advantage in her portrayal.

this apathy by stating the fact that there
Is no state ticket to be elected. and the
general opinion that the state will give
a plurality for the national Republican
ticket In all the estimates made by
both Republican and Democratic com

lican column. These estimates seem to be
well founded, as the vote in June last
showed plurality of 1900 for the Repub-
lican ticket and the issues entering into
the campaign then were practically the
same as those In the present contest.
The Republican managers claim that
the state will give Mckinley plurality
