STOQY ON JOE BAILEY
He Got Mixed on TWO Mount Yer
mons.

good story of Congressman Joe
BaiIev comes from Mt. Vernon. Indi-
era. where the big Texan was to have
held a big meeting with the democrats
last week but owing to his lack of
knowledge of the geography of that
part of the country he did not attend
the meeting The following is taken
from the Evansville Indiana Journal:
The Hon. Joseph w. Bailey. although
a congressman. is little rusty on the
geography of the United States. and
that's why the big Texan did not meet
the democratic hosts ut Mt. Vernon
yesterday.
Arrangements had been made for Il
big rally of the faithful at the home of
the gum-shoe candidate. Bryan S
double was to deliver a TRADE against
the republicans that was calculated to
warm the heart of the most disgrun-
tied democrat or populist. according
to- the opinion of the managers.
But direct disappointment was the
lot of democracy yesterday. for Jos
eph was many miles from the meeting
place when the clans assembled to
greet him ami love nor money could
get him 70 Mt. Vernon in time for the
rally. so the faithful had To I've CON

Thsdtr'Cai Reform.
! ..,w CIV ]; URN !

From The k.'>v CIV ]; urn I
There are striking indications that
Greater New York is undergoing at
least one reform-an improvement in
theatrical taste. II is especially pleas
ant to note this fact for the reason that
the metropolis has, in times past.
shown much depravity in its support
of cheap. trifiing and vulgar stage en-
tertainments. and has been severely
criticised by the press. the pulpit and
the individual throughout the country.
New York has invariably answered
that these questionable productions
nave been supported not by the people
of that city so much as the TRANSMITS.
Their has doubtless been a good deal OF
truth in this statement. for many peo-
pie who are comparatively circumspect
and rigid in their choice of entertain
ment at home throw off restrain when
they go to Gotham or any other large
city. The signs o. Improvement came
last season and have grown this year.
When there were several conspicuous
~ nasty. hut very successful plays a
year ago. Their is but one now. and the
general run of the comedies and dram
as is far above the average. The New
York Press furnishes this list and de-
scription of a dozen of the leading sue
ceSSeS of the hour In that CITY:
Pen Hur-Classic.
Observation-Disclosures and mirth-
full.
"A Royal Family and
mirthful.
"Hoodman Blind Wholesome.
San Toy'-Mirthful
Richard Carvel''-Virilc
Sag Harbor' Wholesome and

David Harum Wholesome ana
miTthful
Prince Otto"-Virile and whole
some.
Henry V'-Shakespeare.
This il cetrinly good showing. Ii
may or IL NAV not indicate n pernia-
nent Uettermcnt of public sentiment.
IL Is TO he fea red. of course that IL is
only temporary reaction against
the license granted and taken several
years ago. The Press believes that
there is an intimate relation between
improved tastes and habits and indus
trial. commercial and financial cordi-
tons: that the people being busy. pros
porous and happy, have no inclination

OF deadly weapons. Bailey tried to
square himself by the liberal use of
the telegraph.
Mr.. Bailey was in Mount Vernon all
right. but it was in the adjoining state
of Illinois. He came south on the l.

stopped he was assisted onto the de-
pot platform by the obsequious porter
The Texan was surprised to find no
committee present to receive him and
he searched the station for democrats
but could find none.
AS the train was pulling out Joseph
found a drummer who told him that
Bailey was not due In Mt. Vernon, H.,
but was billed to speak at Mt. Vernon.
