MUSIC AND DRAMA.
A YOUNG WIFE.


One Of the grsntest SUCCESSES OF the
mast season In New York was the comedy
drama "a Young Wife," which will DO
presented at the Jefferson May IA ard 10.
The rlay Is from the pen Of K.Tiilot-
GOD, who has written number OF sue
oessful dramas. among them "Ihe Plar-
tsr's Wife," "LyRwood," "Quenena,'
and others. "a Young Wife" finished
a seven weeks run last season at the l4th
street theatre, New York, and was only
taken OF because of the existence Of prior
contracts which could not very well be
changed. The plot tells the story OF the
good son and the bad son OF m old New
YORK banker. The young wife Of the
good son Is accused of numbering him;
she believes her husband ia the murderer
and seeks to protect him. After many
thrilling adventures In the slunis, In
which a verdant Vsrmonter performs
many thrilling deeds of valor In behalf
of the innocent bride, the murder
myGtery is cleared and the bad son pun
fsned. 1t Will interest theatEs-goers here
to know that this excellent play VIII be
presented with Frank Taunehill. Jr., In
his famously funny impersonaticn Of
"Horaoe Greenags Dobbins," and very
strong supporting company including

THE STORY OF THE
UNION CONVENTION
TOLD In DETAIL.

An during the noon hour, prior TO the
time fixed for the opening OF the union
convenfion scores OF delegates were gath
cred In the Armory hall, discussing plans
and prospects for the afternoon work BY
] o'clock all the Democrats had assem-
BLEED: within a short time thereafter the
main body of the Populists came over to-
gether from Germania hall; the Silver
Republicans who had adjourned their
morning session to O'Clock, were tardy.
Chairman Heifner called the delegates
20 order about 2 o'clock and prepared for
the formation OF the union convention and
to turn over his gavel 10 the new chair
man. He called for the credentials OF the
delegates TO the separate conventions and
whom these had been submitted the order

The tumult that followed the announce
ment OF the report was simply indescrib-
able. The anti-Rogers leaders had care
fully watched the count and when II APP
peared that the governor had failed, by
considerable vote OF two-thirds ma
1ority, their Joy knew no bounds Led by
King and Pierce counties. the anti Rogers
men started a demonstration which com
pletely eclipsed in interest and length of
time the Rogers demonstration earlier In
the evening. Frantically the Fawcett men
seized the painted Fawcett banners and
marched down to the front of the stage
with them.
Delegates mounted their chairs and a
spectator unacquainted with political con-
Nentions would have imagined that the
whole body OF men had gone entirely
daft. The din was deafening "Fawcett,
Fawcetti' and "Cheethaml Cheetham.'
could be heard now and again. Vainly
the chairman smashed his table In an ef-
i iort 70 bring the convention into anything
like order. The sergeants-at-arms shout

demonstration in order 90 prevent any

noise. Senator Turner stood In the GEN.

lating, frantic delegates The anti-Rog-
ers men pushed over near him and shook
their hats and banners directly at the
Rogers leader, He folded his arms and
smiled and then sat down till the storm
died away. IL was plain, however, that
he was almost unnerved.
During the second roll call. Senator
Turner was espied in the center OF the
house working TO bring some rebeiious
delegates In line. A sergeant alarms was
sent to take him to his seat. Quickly the
convention caught on and shouts of "Sit
down" were hurled at the senator The
chairman raped for order and said that
all delegates should be seated II am

Senator Turner subsidized into chair at
this and the roll call proceeded.
