Special to the Register.
BUCKHANNON, w. Va, May s.
The largest and most enthusiastic DEM
ocratic convention in years was held
this afternoon to select delegates to
the various State conventions and
name a county executive committee. A
motion that any Democrat from UpShur
county who desired and might be in
attendance at any State convention, be
considered a delegate thereto and that
the majority in attendance at such con-
ventions rule the delegation, was car
ried by a handsome majority after a
sharp discussion.
The convention instructed that Up
shur's solid vote be cast for William
Post for State Senator from the Tenth
district, and for J. c. McWhorter for
delegate to the national convention.
Lewis county yesterday instructed for
Mr. Post, and Barbour and Randolph
will undoubtedly do SO, which practic-
ally assures his nomination.
A motion to instruct for Judge Tav-
enner was introduced but withdrawn
and motion that no instructions be
given for any candidate except these
from Upshur was carried. Upshur
favors Judge Tavenner's nomination
and will cast her vote for him in the
convention.
The county executive committee was
named, and is composed of ]. E. New
lon chairman Harris Caste William s
O'Brien, James Marley. T. Z. Arlington
David Hollen, J. w. Reed, W. II. Elmer
l.. w. Turney, Ed. Bean, Newton Brake

ging. In a spectacular piece there is
little leisure for the man in the gallery
behind the two great red lights.
In spectacular dances a great deal is
left to the lights. Loie Fuller's Lilly
of the Nile" dance depends so much
upon the calcium man that once, when
the lights failed, she refused to appear.
Her brother manages them and pro-
duces the wonderful color illusions.
The hardest work is in managing the
lights of a big spectacular show at
one night stands or theaters at which
a production is given for only one
time.
Managers are very particular about
the management of the calcium light,
and also are most actors and actresses.
Lillian Russell is specially particular
about her calciums, and most of her
pieces are Calcium acts. Bernhardt is
also an excellent judge. If anything
goes wrong she knows directly what
makes it and what steps should be
taken to remedy the mistake. Once in
Cleo ,atra, her calcium man went to
sleep, and there was no white light on
the snake so the reptile did not show
up. But the clever actress went on as
If the snake was not part of the play,
and very few persons in the audience
were the wiser for the defect.
The calcium man feels as nervous
over the first nights of a new piece as
do the other members of the company.
In Boston a new man was recently en-
ployed to work the calciums in new
production Of the Brownies" drama
Eized especially fol children. During
tie second ae. he put on the white
light, then went off and left it, under
the impression that there were no more
changes during the act. The grand
finale to this act is the scene where
the Brownies are crossing the sea on
4 raft. No light should be turned on
save occasional flashes from the wings;
but, to the managers horror, there
was a steady. glazing white hgat,
showing out in bold relief all the cam
vas, ropes and mechanism of the trans
formation. The calcium man rushed
to his POST and turned off the light Just

cial to the Spokane Review from
Kaslo, B. c., says:
Sandon, the second mining town of
importance in the SLOGAN district, has
been completely destroyed by fire and
nearly all its 1900 people are home
less and ruined. Kaslo is rs miles
from Sandon. About midnight large
clouds of smoke came rolling over this
town from Sandon. At once word
went out that Sandon was destroyed,
but no news could be had from the
desolate town as all wires were down.
Several hours later a train came in
from Sandon, bringing number or
those who lost all their property.
They reported that the total loss was
between $500, 900 and ST 600, 900 while
the insurance would only have been
about $4,000. The flames started be-
tween Spencer's hall and Browns
store. The streams seemed to hold the
flames in check for while Then one
stream gave out and the flames spread
rapidly. After that 1t was only a
matter of the fire burning itself out.
The miners hospital and a drug store
We're DiOWl up III dill SlOil W sup the
flames. By this time all the lower
part of town including the tenderloin
and many business places were gone.
Then the firemen blew up the Echo
hotel, one of the finest buildings in
the Kootenai country, the Canadian
Pacific railroad station and other
buildings in order to save the valu-
able stores of H. Geigerich and H.
Byers Il Co. This was accomplished.
Half Il dozen other buildings includ-
ing the electric power house at the
extreme end of the town, We're saved.
The rest of the town was destroyed.
Relief measures were taken in
stantly The officials of Sandon dona-
ted $500 and mining men there con-
trilmted $4,000 Kaslo raised $500
and sent up a special train with large
supplies of food. tents and clothing.
More relief is needed.

NEW YORK, May "a hearing in
the case of Geo. A. Lamb against John
W. Gates. chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the American steel q Wire

Gates had violated the penal code in

sci and Delaney Nicoll appeared for
Mr. Gates.
Mr.. Lamb asked that the case be set
for the 14th instant, and then submit
ted a complaint against Mr.. Gates, to
which he made affidavit.
Mr.. Nicoll moved to dismiss the COM
plant ON the ground that there had
been no offense within the provisions
of the penal code He claimed that
the newspaper article complained OF
was a general statement of the condi-
ton OF the steel and wire trade and
not of the American Steel IL Wire Com
pany. a.
Mr.. Lamb said that he proposal to
show that the newspaper reporter who
wrote the article was sent for for the
purpose OF Mr. Gates's own gain. he
argued that even if the statement did
not relate specifically 10 the business
of the company, the article was IN
furious 10 that concern. as Mr.. Gates
had stated that the American Steel 4
Wire Company controlled nearly 50 per
cent. of the steel and wire business.
He alleged that the statement in ques-
ton was absolutely false. After Mr..
Nicoll had replied Magistrate Seller
said that he would let the matter stand
over until next Monday az p N. ne
made It this date, as he said he UNI
derstood Mr.. Gates was soon TO depart
for Europe. He told Mr.. Lamb that
he might obtain in the meantime the
subpoenas OF those whom he wanted TO
appear az the hearing.

black Patti Troubadors.

The Black Patti Troubadors will ap-
near at the Opera House wednesday
night. The company is well known in
this city, where it has filled more than
one successful engagement, but this
year the company has been increased
and new features have been added, so
that the participants in the fun-mak-
ing will have new vehicles for the con-
veyance OF their efforts to please. The
performance opens with skit called
"a Rag Time Frolic at Ras-bury Park
in which the entire company takes part,
EXCEPT Black Patti, the prima donna,
who appears at the end. Following this
coon coneeit will come an olio of spec
ialties which includes turns by the
Troubadors' Male Sextette, Al. and
Mamie Watts, coon comedy work; Jim
Wilson, equilibrist; Black Patti, and
cake walk of the most approved type.
The conclusion of the performance is
composed of a number of selections
from the best operas. Black Patti will
lead and the company will do the en-
semble work. While the players OF
this company are undoubtedly at their
best in the rendition of rag-time melo-
dies, their singing of operate master
pieces has gained for them the most
forcible consideration from theatrego-

c'NciIl as a Lover.


When the public of this city will as
semble at the Opera House Monday
night to witness James O'Neill in Bieb-
Ter & Co.'S gorgeous production of
'"The Musketeers, will see their favor
lite actor once more in the guise of a
lover as well as a swordsman. Mr..
O'NeilPs brilliant workmanship has
been familiar to all who have seen him
as the Count of Monte Cristo. But of
late years in the plays he has produced,
he has not had so much opportunity
to display his love-making abilities al
though he won his first spurs in the ac-
tors profession in this kind of role.
Anyone who was ever fortunate enough
to see him in the Lady of Lyons" must
have carried away a remembrance of
his wonderful performance in that play.
East, West, North and South, the coun-
try sounded with the praise of the most
fervid, tender, true, and melodious
Claude Melnotte of the times. And
his Romeo! How that performance
would stand out, particularly in these
times, when Romeos are so scarce that
leading men, who only enjoy reputa-
lions as good collar-andcuff actors are
eagerly pressed into service by despair
ing managers, who are hopelessly scan
ming the horizon for the advent of a
new army of young actors, who can
act and make love as we'll as dress and
look sweet. AS D'Artagnan, Mr.. O'Neill
is busy making love from the rise to
the drop of the curtain. First, he
falls victim to the snares of the willy
Miladi. Then he is overpowered by the
beauteous majesty of Anne of Austria
liza, and finally he meets his haven of
rest in the sweet embrace of the fair
Constance, the faithful attendant upon
the unhappy Queen of France.
