Of all the Sol Smith Russell plays the best and most pleasant remembered Is "A Poor Relation" Because of Mir Russells enforced retirement, owing to continued ill-health, MT. Berger, his manager, has re-engaged the entire sup porting company and with the young actor, Frederick Summerield. playing the part of Noah Vale, "A Poor Rela- ton" will be seen at the Jefferson Thea tre This play and the character in which MT. Summerfield appears, have already secured the hearty endorsement of the play-going public throughout the United States, and it is therefore no sur prise to hear that the attraction Is meet ing with a success wherever 1t has been seen. "A Poor Relation" is one of the prettiest pieces of dramatic work now on the stage, the humor Is delicate. but irresistible; the pathos is effective, but never overdone. There is no tendency to overload the play with climaxes, but its points are made vigorously and tastefully.
 Special scenery, costumes, stage set tings-in fact everything is carried by the company to insure production cor rect and adequate in every detail.

Black Patti Troubadours.

Mirth, melody and music is the key note of the performance to be given by the Black Patti Troubadours at the Jef- ferson Theatre next Saturday matinee and night. These singers and ebony-col- ored funmakers of Dixie Land have been recognized for years as a standard at- traction and one that has scored a popu- lar success with theatre-goers in all sec tions of the country. Among the thirty in its ranks are to be found the most talented Afro-American singers, dancers and comedians In the world. Sissieretta Jones, the Black Patti, the vocal star of the organization, in addition to being the most gifted singer of her race enjoys the distinction of having sung before the largest audiences that ever assembled in Madison Square Garden, New York city, and the only colored singer honored by royal command to sing before the former Prince of Wales, now King Edward VII of England. In this country the Black Patti and the Troubadours through their stage performances have added largely to the enjoyment of theatre patrons. Their revival of the sweet melodies of the South-reminiscent of ante-bellum days the plantation-the cotton feld-and the levee- has been heard by many.
 While sweet harmonies are woven all through the Troubadours performance, yet there is an abundance of darkey fun contributed by John Fucker, the Ala bama Blossom, and dozen other funny fellows number of speciality acts, danc- ing and a genuine cake walk. Apropos to the cake walk 1t is announced that a genuine contest, open to all corners, with gold medal prizes, will be a special event the evening of the performance here.
 A special bargain day matinee will be given.

 "The dark and mystic plot is too well known to need mention here. It unfolds itself in a prologue and two acts, and could go on indefinitely for that mat ter. All the old songs that are liked so we'll were rendered with pristine fresh ness, while a number of new grinds and com edy situations were introduced. The industrious young ladies of the 'girly' chorus changed their attire frequently and rapidly, and at each appearance seemed even a trifle more Captivating than before.
 Herbert Cawthorne, the new 'Burgo- master though slight of voice and figure was quite giant as a comedian. He has bright and cheery manner that stands him in excellent stead on all oc- sasions. Among the other newcomers who scored with the audience were Ed ward Sanford, whose Doodle von Kull' was a close second to the Burgomaster' himself. Harry de Lorme. whose heavy actor was a very fair creation, and Miss Lillian Austin, who made a very charm ing and petite Daisy of roof-garden fame. Old favorites who were seen here last year included Miss Ida Hawley, Edith Warrington, Will Peters and the ever welcome George W. Frederick. A son of Henry E. Dixie takes a small part very agreeably."

Des Moines. Ia., September S.-(Special) -Tuskegee Institute is likely to lose all or a portion of a legacy left to 1t by a rich woman in this city. The endow- ment fund of the institute was left $20,00O by the will of Mrs. Martha Callahan, who died about six weeks ago. She was the wife of James Callahan, a capitalist sup posed to be worth well night a million dollars Mrs. Callahan had property in her own right to the amount of about $5O000. although 1t was supposed she was worth much more than this.

Since the opening of the will Callahan has caused an inventory of her property to be made, and it is shown that she will ed away nearly all she had. Under the Iowa law the husband, where there are no children, will get half the estate, no matter what is done in the will. MT. Callahan Is considering the claiming of this half and if that is done the bequests will be cut down about one-half Mrs. Callahan had given large sums to charity in her life time.

 President Ripley concluded his report as follows:
 Notwithstanding an almost total failure of the corn crop in Kansas and Okla homa, 1t is not believed that earnings for the coming year will be less satisfactory than those of the last year. The direct gross earnings of your property from freight on corn during the year covered by this report were approximately $6O0 900, of which about one-third came from sections In which there Is little or no damage.

TARIFF WAR DEPLoRED.
Russian Press Welcomes MT. Roosevelt
 as President of United States.

St. Petersburg, September 28.-The No- voe-Vyremya in a recent editorial says concerning American matters:
 Tn the complete absence of grounds for antagonism between our interests and those of the Transatlantic Republic the imposition of prohibitive duties our sugar, which called for reprisals on our side, in connection with a certain para graph in the American laws, came as a regrettable and altogether unexpected episode in the history of Russo-Ameri- can transactions It Is true this episode was not of sufficient importance in itself to interfere with that spirit of hearty agreement which has so long prevailed between St. Petersburg and Washington. None tho less 1t Is impossible to welcome the determination arrived at by Mir. Roosevelt, who has found 1t expedient during the very first moments of his ten- ure of office to give expression to the desirability of clearing away the solitary obstacle which lies across the path of Russo-American political and economic relations"
 The Novoe Vyremya regards President Roosevelts announcement as more than a personal opinion. It halls him as a champion of peace, whose desire to re- move all cause for existing misunder- standings will be responded to most sym pathetically by Russia.
