OPERA HoUsE-To-nisht, return en-
gagement of Mildred Holland in THE
Power Behind the Throne"
Mildred Holland Tonight.
At the Opera House tonight our
theatre-goers will again have an op-
p%ortunity Of witnessing Miss Mildred
Hollands delightful portrayal Of her
latest successful role, Aria, in "The
Power Behind the Throne which was
so favorably commented on by those
who saw this really great performance
on Miss Hollands recent visit here.
In reviewing Miss Hollands perform
ance at that time this paper said:
Seldom has such a degree of enthu-
siasm been manifested by a Wheeling
audience as was displayed last even
ing at the Opera House during the
production of "The Power Behind the
Throne" by Mildred Holland and a
capable supporting company. Wheel
ing theatre goers do not take kindly
to a new star or a new play, and last
night was not IN exception to the rule
in so far as attendance is concerned,
but the audience made up In evidence
of appreciation what was lacking in

numbers. The play is one of the
strongest dramas presented on the
Opera House stage this season, and it
Is embellished with a scenic investi-
ture which leaves nothing lacking to
give the performance the touch of real
ism which is essential to a finished ar
tistic production. There were a num-
the talented star was accorded a gen.
unine ovation.

Reach's official base ball guide, In a
review of the 1900 campaign in the In
terstate league, says 1t was a disap-
pointment artistically and financially.
The situation was aggravated by inter-
nal dissensions, and a factional fight
between Power and Strobel. The Of
fetal averages present ONE figures
which are interesting to students and
lovers of the game.
In club batting, Dayton led with a
percentage OF .274. Wheeling was fifth
with $50.
Schilds, of Toledo, led in individual
batting with an average OF .4o4, but
the honor really belongs to Beck, OF
the same team, as the former played
in but IL games, and Beck took part in
1873. with an average Of 1850. Locke, OF
Anderson, was second, and Jiggs Don
ahue third. The effectiveness of the
Interstate twirlers is demonstrated by
the fact that but twelve players in he
league batted we 300. Wheeling
had two players in the honor list,
Cockman and Turner. who were tied
for eleventh place, each with an aver
age of 1907. Congalton batted 1893,
Meaney .2S9, Ritter .265, Taylor 1868,
Poole PSF, Pequinney ESQ, Lyons -242,
Lyle .215, Pardee .211. Skopec .21o.
Boyd POS, Rothermel .1sS. Bates .1Ss.
Dayton also led in club fielding with
an average of .S43. Wheeling was
fifth with an average of .938.
In individual fielding. Poole led the
regular Wheeling pitchers with an av-
erage of 1851. Mcfarland led the
catchers with a percentage Of 1000 In
five games. Ritter was eleventh with
.9S1. Jack Glasscock led the first
basemen with an average Of 1892. Tom
Turner was thirteenth with 1854.
Eagan, of Marion, led the second base
men with .959, Denny Lyons sixth with
.937. Nordyke of Mansfield, led the
third basemen, with ten games without
an error. Pequinney was sixth, .s15.
Lowney, of Mansfield, was the king
shortstop with 1892, Cockman second
with 1924. Lawrence, of New Castle,
led the left fielders, and Billy Taylor
was at the bottom. Hemphill, of Fort
Wayne, led the center fielders, Con-
gallon ninth. D~ougherty, OF Dayton,
led the right felders, Meaney tenth.
Wheeling was shut out in IA games
and whitewashed their opponents If
games. Dayton won % shutout games
and lost z.
Jones, of Fort Wayne, afterwards
with Wheeling, led the Interstate
pitchers, with II games Won and 3 lost,
percentage of 1856. Stricklett, of To-
ledo, was fifth, and Eddie Poole was
eleventh, with 20 victories and 10 de-
teats. Skopec won % games and lost
Is. Pardee won IS and lost IA.
Toledo, Dayton and Fort Wayne led

was only by the efforts of three men that
the animal was forced to release his grasp.

dog that acted strangely.

In an argument for the Communication
of the death sentence OF a negro to life
imprisonment, a Mississippi lawyer
has presented a novel plea.
Taking tie life expectancy of the
prisoner and his annual value as a
farm hand on the state farm, this
legal luminary goes on to show that it
would be sheer extravaganza 10 hang
him. His value to the state would run
up TO almost $40, 1000. Why hang him,
then, and be at an expense for the
proceeding, when he can be put 10
work with security to society and profit
to the state?
This is IA new idea and has some
merit. Whether it will find much
merit remains to be seen, since money
does not pay for the presence OF some
men.-Atlanta Constitution.

Under the above caption the Clarion

that long litigated contentious for

THE CONSTITUTION OF MISSISSIPPI
AND NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

In a recent interview with Capt. j.
J. Slack On the question OF negro SUI
frage in Mississippi that gentleman
gave u%tterance to the following unique
representation of the case:
much has been said in and out of
congress about the constitutional re-
strictions put upon the right to vote
in Mississippi. The fact seems to be
overlooked that when Cleveland was
first elected the negro honestly believed
that the he would have to go back to
slavery. Finding this false he has
never taken much interest in politics
since. He may be worked up to it, and
again march TO the tap of the drum
and vote as of old, solidly as instructed
as he did before 1875 under carpet
Dagger rule, but the nan who involves
negroes in politics is doing them a
cruel deed. The negro in Mississippi
is the happiest man on earth. He
hunts all over everybody's land, he
goes far and near ,o church, cake walks
and suppers: the white man is always
seeking him 10 till his land, TO cut his
wood and to draw his water and upon
his own terms. He is master Of the
labor situation absolutely. He is rarely
ever prosecuted unless he has COM
mitted a grave felony; in fact he may
be said to be immune so far as mis-
demeanors are concerned.
THE small vote cast at our elections
grows out Of two things. There is
virtually...but one party here, and a
nomination means an election, and the
negro, as much, or, more, from choice
as otherwise, vote only in small num-
bers. So far as the constitutional
restrictions are concerned they are
not materially in his way. His en-
ployer would, If called upon, readily
advance the $500 required for poll tax
and the public schools have abrogated
the educational feature. So far as
permancy of residence is concerned
the negro is next TO the land in this
respectable high water washes the
one from the hills to settle in the delta
and poor crops cause the other to dc
likewise. There is nothing, in my
judgment, in the Mississippi constitu
ton which will be condemned by the
coLrts."
