 Ohio has many independent voters and conflicting clements, and 1t is every bit as doubtful as Nebraska. The two home States of the candidates may be said to be pivot ed also. Maryland and West Virginia cast II votes, and so do Kansas and South Dakota. Washington, Wyoming and Delaware are small States and Mir. Bryans prospects are good in an three.
 But when all Is said and done and figured up the contest turns upon New York and Indiana, Ohio and Nebraska. If Mckinley carries New York and lose the other three of these States, he Is beaten. If he lose New York, he Is certainly beaten, for public sentiment that would revolutionize New York would give Bryan fine majority in Indiana. which is normally Demoeratic and which was very "close'' in 1896.
 All in all the coming election will not be decided. no matter how Wall street bets or offers to bet, until the small hours of the morning following election day.

NAUGHTY ANTHONY"

David BelaSco's frisky comedy, Naughty Anthony" will be the at traction at Polls on Tuesday (electionl evening. The name suggests in q measure the nature of the play, the story revolving about the plentiful display of ladies' hosiery on the stage. One striking scene, in which the dis play of hosiery is made for the bene- fit of three Salvation Army laSses on the stage, and incidentally for the curious eyes on the other side of the footlights. gave rise, it will be re- membered, to much variegated discus sion in New York last winter. There were many minds as to the propriety of it all but, notwithstanding all that was said and thought, the comedy drew thousands on thousands of peo- pie who were delighted with it's rollick- ing fun which Charles E. Evans. erst- while comedian of "A Parlor Match,'' knows so well how to extract from it. Incidental to Naughty Anthony a pretty one-act drmatiZation by MT Belasco entitled. Madam Butterfly will be given as curtain riser. Elec- ton returns, too. will be read from the stage between the acts. The sale of seats opens Monday morning. and as a packed house is promised. intending purchasers will do well to be on hand early. Prices are 25, 35, 50, 75 cents and $1.

"PECk'S BAD BOY"

From melodram2 to comedy is a pleasant step, and that is what patrons of the Jacques are asked to take the first three days of next week, when "Peck's Bad Boy" will be the bill at that house. It is hardly necessary to tell our readers anything about this droll evergreen comedy, for there is probably not one who has not seen it over and over again. One always finds something to laugh at in the antic. of the bad boy, who just bubbles over with mischief and fun. There are other characters, too, to heIp in the funmaEing, so that the whole per formance keeps the audience in the merriest imaginable humor. .Peck's Bad Boy" should prove a very wei come innovation at the Jacques after the long series of thrilling melodramas that have been running there.
