bulletins by Telephone.

Superintendent NJ. r. Wolf. of the
Bell Telephone Company. has arranged
for u service OF election returns by long
distance telephone for the Subscribers In
the Wheeling district. The service is
free Of charge. but under certain coIii-
tons. the most important OF which is
that the telephone otter being connec-
ted-up. for the returns shall not be used
during the evening for anything else.
The company will give this service to its
patrons throughout the United States.
Persons taking the returns b. 'phoEc
must not talk into the telephone: when
calling out the returns to others in the
room, hold the hand over the trans
mitter. Many subscribers are applying
for the service In Wheeling and the sur
rounding towns.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The great distinguishing charncter!s-
tic of Modjeska's far-famed portrayal
OF Lady Macbeth. which the Opera
House patrons will see this evening, Is
its combined intellectually and natur-
alness. 1t Is not necessary TO study her
imp"rsonation of the character or her
presentation as TIE play as a whole by
the light of profound commentary. The
development is natural, as Shakespeare
meant 1t to be. and as 1t Is possible 20
make all of his plays, for the great bard
never dcvlatcd from human nature as q
basis for all his endeavors.
There have bren two great spectacu-
lar revivals of this play. One was made
In New York some years ago by Nc
kee Rankin, In which n great deal of
music and many other elaborate
were introduced and the other was IA
ter made by Sir Henry Irving, In Lon
don. The Rankin production was n fail
ure bec2us, thu scenlc effects, which
were very elaborate, overshadowed the
acting. which was quite mediocre. The
irving production was rs most OF the
Irving productions have been, success
full. Mcssrs. WaSenhals and Kempcr
have. made no effect to vic with these
great spectacular rrvivnis OF the play,
but they, have prepared special scenery,
complete costumes. Incidental music
md other features essential TO an ad-
cquate representation Of the tragedy.
They have realized the strength OF
Modjcska's impcrsonaton of the GEN.
trail character, and they have surround
ed her with brilliant company. head
cd by r. d. Mnctcan and Odette Tyler.
The cast Is said to be the strongest the
play hns had In years. The character
OF Macbeth Is In the hands of Mr.. r. d.
Maci.can, who has large personal fol-
lowing In Wheeling. He Is said to have
given much attention TO the develop
mcnt OF Macbeth md to have made n
fine Characterization. Mr.. Bury

gu'shed himself In the support of
Booth, Barrett. Ward and James and

companies OF Wagenhals and Kempcr

attractivencss Of the demonstrations.
Postmaster George Z. Work, OF Sis
tersyilie vas present. with Circuit
Clerk Henning. and Invited the Rough
Riders and all Wheeling marching clubs
to take part In the big club demonstra-
ton ut SistersvIlle on the evening of
Saturday. November 3. He stated that
rate OF 81 for the round trip could be
had from the Ohio River railroad, the
train to leave Wheeling at s p. m.
There appears to be n division Of
sentiment among the clubs, some de-
string to go to Sistersville and others to
Pittsburgh. II will rest with the clubs
to. determine where they go. and sever
al are to decide ut meetings to be held
Tonight. From the political point Of
view, It would be far better to go to
Sistersville, where there Is hot fight
on In the Tylcr-Wctzel Joint delegate
district. on the result of which may
hang the United States senatorship in
this state. Pittsburgh Will have big
demonstration without Wheeling: per-
haps Sistersvlle would not. Nearly all
OF the local politicians are urging the
clubs to decide upon the Sistersvillc
trip In preference to Pittsburgh. mainly
for the reason indicated above.

the peril they attempted to stop the
train. but to no avail. 1t was COM
