JUNGLE TERRY. {"
This Quaint Character Tells of His
 Rise in the World.

Rise in the 1Vcrld
 Uncle Terry" the successful nove, by Charles Clark Mum, has been dra- matized by William Gill and is soon to be presented here with James T.. Waite in the title role. The produc ton is under the management Of Harry D. Grahame, and by, all ac- counts it is to be a most elaborate af- fair. Mir Gill has made the old fight house keeper dominate fhe play rather more than he did the novel A very good line in the character of Uncle Terry is given in the solloquy which -NIr Mum gives to him.

I hal I colt an old busted wagon, an 1 took to dick erin. l bought eggs an honey an pelts of all sorts, an peddied notions an farmin' tools.

Seth LOW Wants New York Students
 to Aid Him.
 Seth Low, anti-Tammanv candidate for mayor of New York city. and h;s agents, who are managing his cam- paign for him, are making a strong b.d for the votes of Yale students whose residences are in New York.
 A notice in the Yale News yesterday called attention to meeting of lnenI- bers of the university who were resi- dents of New York and of voting age. The meeting was to be held at the University club at l o'clock.
 No meeting was held, but all inquir- CTS were given an open letter to read, which took the place of q mass meet ing.
 The letter was addressed to Mason Trowbridge, a prominent Yaie L,dn and member of Yale's debating team, and was from Cornelius '. Kitchel. T former Yale man. who is now acting as secretary to Robert C. Morris. presi- dent of the republican county commit tee of New York.
 The letter urges Mir Trowbridge tn make a personal canvass among New York men at Yale and to get as mary of them as possible to go to New York and register and also to vote on No vember ,. casting their ballo:s for the anti-Tammany fusion ticket.
 In his letter Mir Kitchel appears con fident that the dean will gladly allow the students leave of absence for this purpose and also intimates that ir case of trouble to students who do register and vote, MT Morris, who is q lecturer in the law school, can make things all right.
 Letters of a like character have hee received by other prominent Yale ,.len from the same source and i the mum Der of men who called at the univerSi ty club can be taken as T criterion. Sti KitcheFs letter will bear fruit and nra terially strengthen the ticket for which l he is working.

them can get neither tenants nor hired
hands sufficient to work tho land they
intended to cultivate. Tho white labor
has migrated to tho cotton mills and

n calamity, but if it curtails to any cx-
tent, the intended big cotton crop. per-
hnps it will prove "a blessing in dis
