"a Trip to Chinatown at the Biiou.

"A Trip to Chinatown is no longer pre-
sented as a play in which a half dozen
brilliant character sketches by Hoyt afford
the purest enjoyment. Instead of a farce
comedy, as Hoyt understood the term, it has
become a vehicle for exploiting speciality per-
formers, not a play depending upon actors
for it's success. What a vital creation in
the old days was Ben Gay, the sporty old
gentleman who sat on a hot .soapstone for
an hour waiting for 1.-The widow Hoyt

membered Yankee drawI: Ben Gay was

the saucy French maid, the young people of

Welland Strong. Harry Gilfoil the whistling
waiter; Anna Boyd, the delightful widow,

former years? Gone, and their places filled
with singers and entertainers. Something

remarked on doleful occasion.

who take liberties with the instrument, beat

monies out of the strings with their thumb

Kennedy played annie Laurie in every
known kind of time, and the audience so far
forgot itself as to insist on his giving the
entire performance.

The farmer was furious. He took
down his gun, called two of his men and
started on a run up the road. They

NORTH STAR POLITICS

Senatorial candidates and their legion
aries celebrated the first day of the century
by doing nothing. There is enough hard
work ahead of them all for day of rest
and reeuperation to be appreciated. The
trouble will begin tomorrow and unless
caucus can be arranged for the first part of
next week, will continue for three weeks
Mr.. Evans desires an early caucus natural
ly enough, because he is confident that he
now controls majority. Feeling that they
are in the minority Messrs. Clapp and Taw
ney are not likely to agree to an early
caucus. The fact that Mr.. Tawney expects
to be in Washington next week and then
return shows that he is not planning for an
early caucus, though he has not taken a def
mite stand against one But there are
number of members Of the legislature outside
the Evans ranks who feel that for the good
of the republican party the senatorial con-
test should be settled soon and amicably.
The longer the delay the better the oppor-
tunity for some blunder or the excitement
Of bitter feeling, neither of which will do
the party much good.
Those political sharps who sit around and
criticise the movements OF the various SEN
atorial campaigns just as the military editor
of a newspaper who doesn't know a yeldt
from kopte can easily point out at the
distance Of 5000 miles precisely how Lord
beating General Clement at Nootgedacht,
have unanimously agreed that the Evans
campaign developed its strength too early
in the game. They declare that the line Of
battle has been formed while the skirmish-
ers should still be at work. That might be
In another kind of a contest. But this is
one without any personal bitterness and very
little factionalsm. Mr.. Evans is very pop
ular and is the second choice of many ad-
herents of the other candidates. Such being
the case it was wise on his part to mobilize
his forces and create strong position around
which recruits may rally when they find
that there is use for them in the organ
zation they first joined. If Mr.. Evans could
not show great positive strength he might
not be able to catch the second choice men
when the time comes. By occupying the po-
sition of leading candidate he should profit
by the disasters that may overtake the other
candidates.
OF course this position and method involve
risks. His leadership being the one estab-
lished fact in a rather chaotic situation ii is
naturally the point of attack. 1t is the one
conspicuous object for those who are not
his friends to level their shafts at Up to
date these al acks have not been successful
and Mr. Evans has continued to strengthen
his position. The list of open commitments
to him was increased yesterday by the addi-
tion ol Representatives II. y. draSS OF the
fifteenth district and n. X. Hunt of the
forty-third district Not a single vote once
lined up for him has been lost to Mr.. Evans
since the beginning of the contest
If the third district fails to put forward
strong candidate it is, as the Mankato Free
Press observes. an absolute cinch for Evans
Even If it does enter with strong candidate
the prospect is good for a victory of Evans
over the whole field.

In Keeping With the Time

THE MIGHTY HUNDRED YEARS
One mighty CLEAN, and old horizon broke.
All the vast glimmering outline of the
Whole
swan on the vision, shifting, at one stroke,
The ancient gravitation of the soul
All things came circling in one cosmic dance.
One motion older than the ages are:
Swung by one Law, one Purpose, one Ad-
vance,
Serene and steadfast as the morning star.
Men trace the spacious orbits of the Law
And find it is their shelter and their friend:
For there, behind its mystery and awe
Gods sure hand presses to a blessed end.
And so man pushes toward the Secret Vast
Up through the storm of stars, skies upon
skies:
And down through circling atoms, nearing
fast
The brink of things beyond which Chaos
lies.
Yea, in the shaping Of grain Of sand.
He sees the law that made the spheres to
be
Sees atom worlds spun by the Hidden Hand,
4 To whirl about their small Alcyone.
With spell Of wizard Science on his eyes,
And augment on his arm, he probes through
space
Or pushes back the low, unfriendly skies,
He walks abroad upon the Zodiac,
To weigh the worlds in balances, to fuse
Suns in his crucible and carry back
The spheral music and the cosmic news.

ALBANY'S BELIEF IN OIL.
state biologists Verdict Dnmpens
But Does Not Destroy Her Hopes.

Albany Ga. Oct. 1.-THE hope OF
finding oil in Dougherty county in prac-
tically unlimited quantity has not been
abandoned by many persons in this
city and section who are familiar with
the character of the mysterious mat
ter recently found 900 feet below the
surface, and brought up in the water
coming from an artesian well being
bored for the municipal water-works
system.
1t is remembered that the state geol-
ogist's Investigations did not lend much
encouragement to those who were sat
isfied that we had struck oil. He
stated that after a chemical test, he
had concluded that the gummy, greasy
looking substance was something else,
and declared that the prospect of find
ing oil in this section appeared to him
to be very remote. He stated, however,
that the geological formation as re-
vealed by the citys well was exactly
similar to that found in the Beaumont.
Tex, oil district; and the superintend-
ent of the work. who spent many years
in the Pennsylvania. oil region, declared
that he was satisfied oil would be
found.
Certain 1t is that parties here have
gathered up the mysterious substance
that comes up from a point 900 feet be-
low us. and after treating it with
sulphuric ether, have produced a sub
stance that burns like oil of a highly
infammable character, and that re-
sembles oil in color, odor and lubricat-
ing qualities. The question many are
now asking here is, IF it isn't oil, what
is it?" The riddle has not been an
swered thus far. and the average
Dougherty countian continues to have
no difficulty in convincing himself that
ii is oil.
Work on the well has been abandon
ed for a couple of weeks on account of
the non-arrival of casing. When the
latter arrives. it should require only a
few weeks boring, at the very furthest,
to settle the matter beyond all shadow
of doubt.

and local applications. II they accom-
plish anything, at all, simply give tran
sient relief.
The catarrhal poison is in the blood
and the mucous membrane of the nose,
throat and trachea tries to relieve the
system by secreting large quantities of
mucous. the discharge sometimes clos
ing up the nostrils dropping into the
throat, causing deafness by closing the
Eustachian tubes. and after a time
causing catarrh of stomach or serious
throat and lung troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh must
be an internal remedy which will
cleanse the blood from catarrhal poi
son and remove the fever and conges-
ton from the mucous membrane.
The best and most modern remedies
for this purpose are antiseptics scien =
tifically known as Eucalyptol, Guaia-
col. Sanguinaria and Hydrastin, and
while each of these have been success
fully used separately. yet it has been
difficult to get them all combined in
one palatable, convenient and efficient
form.
The manufacturers of the new ca
tarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
have succeeded admirably in accom-
plishing this result. They are large.
pleasant tasting lozenges. to be dis

tai of 211 applications for executive
clemency passed upon during the year

they think it will make better citizens
