H. L. Swisher who has returned
from trip to New York and the
east was seen by representative of
this paper and asked about his trip.
"Oh | suppose was his answer
''that my trip was about on par
with anyone else. | always enjoy a
trip to New York City as every time
there is some new interest.
New York is essentially different
from Chicago, San Francisco, Wash
ington, Philadelphia or any other
American city l have ever visited.
1t is typical American city and its
rush and hurry are typical of our
national life.a
"What of politics" was asked, 'well
battle. Every seems well salts
fed especially the real estate dealers
in Washington. They expect prodi
gal expenditures in the city for the
next four years and naturally boom
in real estate, | think too that the
trusts present and to come are very
well satisfied. Canned meats had adj
vanced five cents on the pound and
another rise Ia salt brings it up TO
$3.50 barrel against $l.Io three
years ago. Surely the trusts have no
reason to complain. Even Bryan's
enemies acknowledge that he was too
great man for the presidency and
that he belongs In the class Of such
statesmen as Webster, Clay and Blaine.
A talk with some of Tammany's
braves concerning the proposed reor-
gaDization Of the party revealed the
fact that they do not think any reor-
ganizati0n necessary aud that those
who talk most of it are the disorgani-
GERS of 1896.
One thing that struck me forciby
is the general and widespread interest
manifested in West Virginia.
Our great coal and oil fields have
made US of first Importance.
"What shows did you see?n
SsSeveral of the best, among them
Joseph Jefferson in The Cricket on
the Hearth, Maude Adams in L'Aig-
Ion, w. III. Crane in David Harum
aud Grace Golden and Zellie De Lus-
son in Grand Opera. / was especially
interested in seeing Jefferson. Two
of his sons William aud Joseph are
playing with their father while Thorn
as who is to be here in March is out
with company of his own. A lot of
good scenery and stage effect as well
as lot of good talent is wasted in
trying to make passable play out of
David Harum. Maude Adams Of
course makes success Of whatever
she undertakes. She seems well
adapted to play the part assigned her
in L'Aiglon. The scene on the battle
field of Wagram is especially fine as is
the death scene of the Eaglet.
Another really artistic production
is Arizona running at the Herald
Square theatre. This play and that
Of Mistress Nell in which Henrietta
Crossman is starring are the only two
notable plays in the city that are not
controlled by the theatrical Syndicate.
As a result these plays have the SYM
pathy OF all opposed to the theatrical
trust and are meeting with remarka-
BILE success.
Ibid you book any attractions for
Morgantown?n
Eyes several, among others A Ro-
nance of Coon Hollow, The Interna-
tional Grand Opera Company and Sar-
dons Fedora. Every one of these
companies is SAID to be first class. /
cancelled several shows that | had
already booked because / learned they
were weak. | expect to cancel others
Iif find they are no good. l shall
aim to have a good class OF shows al
though it is impossible to have all
good ones. Altogether / am well
pleased with my trip"
