by Sarah Beach and Roland Holmes, in
his own house, and afterwards carried in
a boat to the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-

Frank Tannehill, Jr., presented j. ~.
Tillotson's comedy drama" a Young
Wife. at the Academy last night to only
a fair-sized audience The play is more
of a melOdrama than comedy, rather
stereotyped in form and plot. Frank Tan
nehill acted the part OF a Vermont youth
and while the part was well done, he has
been seen to better advantage in Rich
mond. Ethelyn Palmer was tile young
wife, and brought out what there was III
the character.
The balance of the cast deserve no espe-
cial mention. There are many weaker
plays on the road and. played as melo-
drama, it does fairly Well, but it is hardly
a satisfactory vehicle for a comedian to
star in.

Because She Loved Him So,'' which

bubbles and disasreements Of ordinary

and good humored, not ilE the least bitter
or pesSimistic. and altogether wholesome.
The elderly married ladies will regard it
most amusing. but, for that matter any
one will be struck by the aptness of the
situations the brightness of the dialogue
and the genuine humor that trickles from
every part of it. This play is from the

Secretary, F. B. Thurber, OF New York.
Despite the efforts of the Brunswick
Board of Trade, under whose auspices
the Congress was called, politics was IN
jected into the closing hours OF the 81
sion.
In newspaper interview, which was
read by the delegates, Governor A. D.
Gambler, who called the Congress was
quoted as saying, among other things,
that the shipping bill was ''one OF the
most Ubiquitous, corrupt, and infamous
measures which Republicans ever tired
to foist upon the American public"
When the business Of the Congress had
been concluded Harold NJ. Sewel, of
Bath, Maine son of the late Arthur
Sewal. and representing the shipbuilding
industry. established by his father, arose
to question of personal privilege and
made a reply to Governor Gamblers in
terview, An ong other things he said:

we are I could not leave here without

The men of the South have spoken

bill which the Governor character1ZcS as
a nefarious~ scheme was drafted by as
honest men as there are in the county,
and not by certain one who remain away
and refuse to take part and let others
do the work"
The speech caused a sensation, which
was intensified when the president OF the
Board of Trade moved that it be made
part of the official proceedings, which
motion was carried
The other measures endorsed by the
conference were the Hawaii-Maalla ca
BILE and the Nicaragua canal.
