ton. which met recently In that place,
attention was called to the fact that
the year 1904 will be tho two hun
drcdth anniversary OF the beginning OF
journalism In America. and It was sug.
gcstcd that II was now none too early
to prepare for the adequate celebra-
ton OF date so Important.
Mayor Nichols told at length the sto-
ry Of John Campbells Boston News
Letter. the first Issue Of which appear
cd on April "a. 1704, and which lived
to the ripe old age OF II years. The
idea Of celebrating the event has Its Mt
trnctive feature. and the Wilkesbarre

She Is A Daisy.

There was lots OF fun at the Orph-
cum last evening when "The Girl
From Paris" made her debut. The
large audience thoroughly enjoyed
the jolly operette and the catching
music. Rev. Ebenezer Honey comb
was so cleverly represented by Phil.
Branson, that the audience for
moment believed that he was the
clerical man who objects to Sunday
newspapers. The Girl" was as
Frenchy as Tillie Sallinger could
make her and we didn't blame the
parson bit, nor the ever kissing
Frenchman.
The old major who nearly gets
into trouble through his attention
to the psendo widow OF the alleged
deceased Ebenezer was splendidly
personated by Goff. Addie Arnold
as the waiting maid brought down
the house when she made mild at
tempt at our own hula-hula. The
young lady has evidently got on to
the fne point OF our national dance

Little Ruth sang and danced and
was covered with leis by her en-
thusiastic admirers. She is peach,
and she knows it.
Special mention should be made
of the iandango dance by the
Misses Still and Gladson. 1t was
one of the most graceful and correct
performances of the noble dance we
have Witnessed since in sold Ma
drid."
That Wolff felt perfectly at home
as the inn keeper in Spa goes with
out saying, and his experience in
brewing pure, mineral waters "mit
the bowels Of the earth heraus," was
significant to the kidneys Of some in
the audience.
1t was an excellent performance
as whole and no one taking in the
next one will be disappointed.

"boxer" received his quarterly bill
for rent plus the price of "tf xed"

receptacle OF numerous clerks and
employees generally and the boss
paid every bean, being unable to
divide the tax among the people
who used his box.
OF course there was some annoy.

cards were distributed. A high
Government official whose wife is in

nor the Addicks delegation should be
given a place on the temporary roll of
the convention.
committeeman Thompson, representing
Delaware on the national committee, was
then asked to make a statement. He
RESPONDED briefly to the effect that the
statement which had gone abroad that
tbe regular Delaware Republicans were
disloyal was not without foundation IN
fact. and that whether given seats in the
convention or not they would support
its nominees. They were also willing, he
said. 10 act jointly on the legislative
ticket. but they would insist upon being
left alone in the management of county
affairs and Of their party organization.
Senator Hanna made a brief statement
in support Of the report of the subcom-
rnittee He said that an effort had been
made TO get the Dupont delegation 10
agree to a compromise, but that they
had refused to agree to this proposition.
He did not believe in suIrendering any
thing to them. Hence he thought the
hest course to pursue was to leave both
5elegatfonS off the roll call and out of
the convention
The committee report was adopted
without further debate and without di-
vision. The result is that the whole case
is referred TO the convention without
recommendation, with the understanding
that the committee on credentials will
consider it, making such recommendation
I'm the case as It may see fit.
While the Delaware delegation was
eliminated from the temporary roll ac-
c0rding to the method which was adopt
ed at the beginning of the committees
session i'm the case of Alabama, steps
were taking looking to the restoration
of the latter state TO the roll This had
been caused by the dissatisfaction among
the Alabama representatives over their
disfranchisement and since the decision
of the committee was rendered they have
manifested a disposition to harmonic
their differences. if by so doing they
make sure of seats in the convention.
This movement had reached the stage of
an agreement looking to the elimination
of the Ofticeholders from both sides to
as great d degree as possible, and to
division of the membership in the con-
VentiOn.
This matter was brought up before
the committee at its session this after
noon by Senator Hanna, who stated the
substance of the agreement, and recon-
mended that the case be Ieopened. This
suggestion was accepted, and the mat
ter referred to Secretary Dick, who was
instructed to investigate the case as
thoroughly as possible before next Mon
day morning and to distribute delegates
evenly between the two factions. He
was also instructed to eliminate both
Waugh and Bingham from the represent
alton in the committee. Mr.. Vaughan is
a district attorney, and heads one of the
factions while Mr.. Bingham, collector
of customs, leads the other. Both claim
to be delegates from the state at large.
