the charge that he is being paid for

pie of the towns through which our
trarin passes have contributed to the
expenses of the train. and it was Sug
gested that was for my benefit. |
need not tell you that | receive nothing
for making speeches, but my friends.
| want you to know that when men
ride on trains they must either pay. or
else the railroad companies must fur
niSh them with free rides. We don't
want railroad to carry our train free
through the state. and therefore the
stae committee paid abOu $1,000 for the
train for yesterday and today. We be
lieve it is better for people to pay their
way and to be independent than to
have corporations run them after cleo
ton. I would a great deal ratherhave
Republican papers criticise me because
people along the road pay the expens-
es of the train than to receive free
rides FROM the railroad companies and
have corporations run me if elected

Will Give David Harum at the Grand

Noyes Mestcott's most widely read
novel, will avail themselves of the
privilege of hearing Mr.. Frye's new
monologue, adapted from this novel,
at the Grand, Tuesday evening David,
of course. is the vital and dominant
character, and Mr.. Frye, has never
presented a character for which he
was so well suited, in temperament
and personality, as this, and he never
portrayed one with more enthusiasm
and fidelity. In voice and bearing, and
in the many niceties of expression he
gives as fine and complete a picture
as one could ask to see.
Mr.. Frye has adapted the story into
monologue with accomplished skill,
leaving it consistent, logical, sequen-
tial and unified whole, and it has
everywhere gained recognition as one
of the most brilliant and attractive
of the season.

In reviewing Mr.. John Griffith's
"Spartacus," the New Orleans Daily
Item says: "There is something so
inexpressibly noble in the Spartacus of
Mr.. Griffith, something SO tenderly
heroic that words cannot convey an
adequate impression of it. 1t must be
seen to be appreciated. Those who
have beheld the mighty Forrest in this
great role declare that Mr.. Griffith is
the best Spartacus since his time. His
delivery was grand and he moved
about with graceful elegance of mein
that would ennoble the most indif-
ferent Roman. When Mr.. Griffith is
Spartacus the gladiator ceases to be
a human beast thirsting for blood to
avenge the wrongs of his house, but
not concealing the tender emotions that
frequently stir his breast"
Mr.. Griffith will present Spartacus at
the Grand on next Saturday, the 17thh.
The play will be deliberately mounted
from scenic standpoint, and some
go people will be in evidence in the
arena scene.
