There are to be a few remarks con
cerning Thomas Jefferson who appears
at the Opera House on Saturday after
noon and night Theatre folks, Of
course. know all about him, but the
general public has only a hazy idea
that Mr.. jefferson has any children.
TTue they have read of G. B. Jefferson,
who was formerly associated with
Klaw & Erlanger, and that ne is a
good business man, and that there
were other sons, grandsons, and
nephcws Of the venerable comedian
who travelled with him. but the infOr-
nation is meagre and contradictory.
Thomas Is the one who acts. and he
always has time for smile and a chat
He realizes the value of his fathers
creation of RIP" and he is not going
to let It get out OF the family II he can
avoid II. When he found that he had
to play the part OF RIP" Illness hav-
ing compelled his father 20 retire for
q short interval he was in blue funk.
lf-it had been suggested TO him TO run
away he would have possibly done IT,
He was terribly scared. There is a
great deal az stake in his word and he
has been very successful. His Father
said 20 him about playing the part:
Tom. act Il as nearly like 1 do as you
can. but n you find n line or bit OF
business that YOU can't copy me In with
ease, do il your own way. My way
may be better or worse, but the best
way for a man TO act is the way that
his inner consciousness dictates" In a
letter TO his son, Tom, the wise old
comedian says: Remember ability
and early success are Of but little use
1 without honest. earnest and conscien-
tious endeavor. Actors who merely
play for their own amusements regard
less Of the public duty have but short
reign" SO 1t would appear that Joseph
Jefferson has pretty clear idea OF the
duties an actor owes to the public as
we'll as to himself

"SpeIIbfnders'. Ways.

"Spellbinding' is the happy name
given to the platform speaking which
plays such an important part in every
campaign. The national chairman de-
termines who shall be the stars in this
department. An ex-president is most
in demand, speaker or an ex-speaker
comes next as a rule, and senators and
representatives are invited to speak In
the order of their usefulness. One
speech by an eX-president is worth half
dozen efforts by other men, though
they may be more logical and eloquent.
The candidate himself, when an ora
tor, will draw greater crowds than any
body else, but IL he is wise he will let
the national committee arrange his itin-
erary and schedule. Headquarters are
always overrun with volunteers for the
stump: the star, or man with a repu-
tation, waits to be invited or urged.
Most of the lesser men are laborers for
hire, but others are ambitious to make
4 reputation as stepping stone to po-
litical office, and some are intensely In
earnest and eager to be useful to their
party.
The national committee settles for
the expenses of spellbinders, unless
they insist on paying their own way,

orators receive handsome sums for
their services and travel In state

There are tricks even in cur trade"
said the old life insurance man. About
ten years ago q couple of respectable
old parties, man and wife. came to
town with 100000 or so that they
wanted to put into an annuity. They
had neither chick nor child. kith nor
kin, and they wanted to finish their
lives in as much ease and luxury as
could be bought. So they made the
rounds of the life insurance companies,
getting their annuity figures and had
all the actuaries in town making cal
culations in the case.
The head mathematician of the
Blank Dash company was n little bet
ter than a mere figurer. lie happened
to hear what town the old parties came
from, and he suddenly remembered
that he had an old friend, a doctor,
who lived there, whom he hadn't seen
for years. He invited the medicine
man down at once, took him out and
showed him a real good, decent time.
Then he edged around to the annuity
hunters. and, 10 and behold, the doctor
was their family physiciani Without
appearing to pump him, the actuary
learned enough about the old couple TO
enable him to make a most glittering
Involvement to the pair, and they
bought their annuity of his concern.
They were both dead inside Of two
years. 1 forgot just Low much the
company netted. 1 think 1t had paid
out about one-tenth of what the old
folks had paid in. The company was
gamer, and there were no losers ex-
cept the other companies as a result of
the actuary's shrewd move" - New

THE CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS OF

compelling the Boston & Maine rail
road to cancel all tariffs and freight ar.
rangements between the Central New
England and the Boston 4 Maine rail
road, which are made by using the
Consolidated" road between Hartford
and Worcester where connection i
made with the Boston & Maine railroad
The News also asked the question
HAS not the Consolidated railroad
violated the inter state commerce law?
The Poughkeepsie Eagle copied the
article from the News, and said the
point which the News called attention
to was we'll taken. The Eagle ther
proceeded to give reason why it theught
the CONSOLIDATED" road had violated the
inter state commerce law. The News
now thinks that the officers of the Cen
trail New England Railroad Company
should Immediately take steps to ascer
tain whether the Connecticut Senate is
q bigger man than "Uncle Sam. o,
whether the consolidated" road deies
the law made by the United States
congress.
