Laurel, Nch., oct. 80. A dangerous

Never has more wholesome play,
more intelligently acted, come to this
city, than Chas. w. Chase's dramatiza
tion of "Quo Vadis," which will be pre-
sented by Alden Benedict's capable
company at the Auditorium on Tuesday
October 30th. Necessarily many Of the
strongest portions Of the book had to be
slighted by the adapter, for the entire
novel of seven hundred pages cannot be
crowded into stage performance of
two and half hours. To the lasting
credit of Mr.. Chase, however be it said
that in his six act version he has not
lost sight for single instant of the
religious sentiment. Always conspicu.
Gus in the book it is eminent in the
play. And all lovers Of uplifting drama
are thankful for this foresight. 1t
makes "Quo Vadis" play which no.
body can see without being decidedly
the better for it. 1t is not strange that
clergymen in all sections of the land
have bestowed upon it their unqualified
endorsement. Every member of the
cast is in true sympathy with the piece.
Nothing can illustrate this more con.
vincipgly than the respectful attention
given by the gallery habitues, who
might reasonably be expected to exhibit
marked restlessness during six acts Of
such production in which comedy is
almost al unknown quantity and glar-
ing sensationalism has no place. Each
role is taken care Of worthily.
The play is OF interest not only to
those who have read Sienkiewicz's
wonderful story from which it has been
dramatized, for it has been SO arranged
that anybody can follow its trend under.
standingly throughout. Its scenery
and stage settings are beautiful and ap.
propriate and the costumes correspond
faithfully with the period. Everywhere
people attend this performance who
seldom enter playhouse and none have
been heard of who have regretted being
present. We predict for the company
in this city one Of the most successful
engagements of the season.

POLITICAL NEWS.

Prospects for Republication Encourag-
Ing ut Meadow Grove.
Encouraging news of n political ma
ture, from republican standpoint, was
brought down yesterday from Meadow
Grove, which was formerly quite strong
ly populistic, by the delegation from
that place. There have been about 80
changes from Bryan to Mckinley in
that neighborhood, while not one change
the ether way is known. The rcpubli
cans have n standing offer of \: cnch to
men in that neighborho0d who will
make affidavit that they voted for
Mckinley in 1896 and will vote for
Bryan this fall, but not one has been
presented.
w. =. Evans, publisher of the
Meadow Grove Press, has come out for
Mckinley and is member of the re.
publican club. He is the son of O. S.
Evans, publisher of the Times. Tribune.
One of the delegates, who has been n
democrat all his life, yesterday bet SO
to 81 that Mckinley would be elected
and the gentleman who took his bet
said he didn't want any more even at
those odds.
Meadow Grove is strictly a farming
community and this shows the trend of
sentiment among that class OF people.
1t is asserted that there are not more
than six fusionsts in the village.

NEW YORK. March 10.-On fair vol

stock market advanced in an irregular way
this morning to some extent. Its tone was

by the South African republics. Foreign

in the local dealings.
