Of the work mapped out for him before

none too much.

vote and have two freeholders sign with
him. Among the various reasons that
are assigned by those who do not regis

press of business" and one of these
two reasons will doubtless be alleged
by Mr.. Bryan. Either of them would be
true. The last days of registration will
have passed before Mr.. Bryan sets foot
in Lincoln, according to the present
plans.

SCOTS DENIAL.
New York, Oct. Ex-senator Scott, of
West Virginia, explained to the re-

night that trusts were good things. 'I'
was having a private conversation with
ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles S.
Fairchilds." said he. Il jocularly re-
marked tha. West Virginia was largely
run by gas. Senator Elkins and T. ad-
ded, helped produce most of it. "A
newspaper man who was present,
grossly exaggerated the statement l
did not say any of the things which he
quoted me as saying"
The senator denied having said that
the prosperity of West Virginia was due
to the Standard Oil trust
Benjmin Il. Odell said there was not
a word of truth in the story of Scotia

registration for Canton" said Chairman

committee. "If any thing it is a little
larger than we expected. We got out
our vote thoroughly-more thoroughly
than the Democratic vote was ever be-
fore gotten out. We have more nearly
our fun strength on the registration
books than we had either last year or
in '96.
Chairman L. S. Johnston, of the Re-
publican county committee, said: I'VE
are highly gratified with the result Of
the registration. TO us the large total
indicates a big Republican plurality in
the city. 1t shows that what little
apathy remained in the Republican
ranks after the vigorous campaign OF
the past three weeks has been overcome.
We worked systematically, by pre-
precincts, and we got as nearly a full
vote out as is ever possible"

show total receipts Of $25Q.ooo before
the season is over.
What is the most profitable play
of this season.?
Probably 'Ben-Hur. 1t opened
early in the season at the Broadway
theater in New York, and there hasn't
been an empty seat any night or matt
nee since. The houses are still sold
out several weeks in advance. and
spectators are getting So and 81 a
seat. The Little Minister has been
the most profitable of all plays for
the time it has been running and has
probably drawn more money than any
that was ever put on the stage. Last
wear the receipts were 100000. This
year they will run close 10 100000.
The Christian is also a great money
maker. running as high as $3.50, 900
last year and probably 100000 this
year. 'Sapho' was very profitable,
particularly after the advertising it
got in the newspapers. Last year
Mansfield appeared in 'Cyrano de Ber-
oerac' to houses worth $3.50 900. and
/ think that Alice Nelson's new opera,
The Singing Girl will run up to that
total before the end of the season."

there were few authentic instances in

Theatres and What They Pay.
(Chica 90 Record.)

One of the most prominent 'theatri-
cal managers in the country tells me
that the receipts at the box offices OF
theatres controlled by the trust will
exceed S20,00D,000 this season. and he
estimates that the receipts of the Met
rOpolitan Opera House, New York,
and theaters outside of the syndicate
will amount TO about $5.OOO.OOO more.
making total of $25.000,000 which
the American people will pay for that
form Of amusement from September
to May this year. This has been the
most successful dramatic season in
history, and the fact that so many of
the prominent and profitable houses
are in the trust makes it easier to
ascertain the receipts.
New York. is OF course. the main
theater town. and with the increase
of houses and the advance of prices
which have taken place there within
the last few years the annual expendi-
lures for theatrical entertainment will
exceed S6.00O.00O. To this should be
added $1,000,000 spent for the main
tenance of opera. Last year the re-
ceipts of the New York theaters were
something over $5.000,00O. and those
of the Metropolitan Opera House were
nearly SS50.000.
Chicago pays about $4,000, 900
year to support the drama" continue
ed my friend. but Boston is the best
show town in the country considering
its population, and the theaters there
will take in more than $2,50O,0OO this
year. Philadelphia is also good
show town and the receipts of her
theaters this season will be about the
same as those of Boston. Washington
and Baltimore will pay about 100000
each. The National theater alone in
Washington is good for $275.000 every
year. You can count on $750.000 in

The Grand Old Man.

To the Editor: \ few times in

the rare spectacle, the metoric flash
OF some brilliant genius, some one
savorng more Of the divine than hui

alton and benediction TO the grovei-
ling multitude so far removed IN

him.
There is perhaps no single life in
recorded history in which is more use;
fully blended the brilliancy and hon
estv of the statesman with the indy
ING virtues of the Christian. than that
life that recently closed in its full
orbed splendor amidst the tears OF the
nations, Hon. William T.. Gladstone.
The widening influence of his life
will continue to descend the track of
ages till the end of time. with in
creaSing lustre as the years go by.
Little as the world may concede 1t,
the great secret of Mr.. Gladstone's
phenomenal success was that God was
with him. guiding and sustaining him
amidst all the vicissitudes of his use

only can appreciate the sufficiency,
potency and inspiring force OF such
an omnipotent guide.
Had Mr.. Gladstone served his day
and generation well only as 4 world
ling, he still would have met with
human appreciation, but he would
have missed the benediction of hea-
ven, and have fallen a broken shaft
and unfinished pyramid
Thank God for the instructive les

ing, sanctifying record of his pilgri-
mage. The world bows in admiring
homage at his bier with the encourag-
ing reelection that base and defective

possibilities yet lie open to the UNI
tried vista of the future.
Many shafts that may be erected TO
