Miss Elita Proctor Otis, in David
Belasco's PLAY, at the Grand.

Miss Elita Proctor Otis appeared in
David Belascos society drama, La
Belle Russo at the Grand. matinee
and night. yesterday. Miss Otis repu-
tation and her success in emotional
parts was sufficient 10 warrant the big
audiences that greeted her at both per-
formunres. Those who witnessed the
play. enjoyed some of the best emo
tional acting ever Witnessed in this city
Miss Otis impersonation was ideal, and
in the adventures so forcefully drawn
BY Belasco, good scope was given her
talents.
The company WAS acceptable, but
naturally it was Miss Otis acting that
appealed 10 the audience,

Antonio shook his head "Remem-

AIarjory sat back against the mast
with Il funny little feeling. 1t did
seem very strange to be out with men
she didn't know on a boat no one couid

Uncle Harry right there near by and

She was almost frightened for

We're past Rocky river and sailing far

she went out she was seasick, and
Uncle Tom would not take her very

wondered why.
Because you aren't on real boat,

CHRISTMAS DAY.
How the Day Was Spent-Many

Went Out of Town.
Christmas day was most fttinsly
celebrated in this city. and especially
in Il religious way. All the churches in
the city held appropriate services, and
were all well crowded A number Of
persons went out OF town to spend the

destination, while others remained in
the city, attending the matinee and
evening performance at the Grand
opera house II was expected that the
ho"semen would MAX" Dundaif and
River streets the scene OF brushes be-
tween the fast local horses but the
snow was too poor and only one or two
showed up during the day. Last cven
ing II large crowd attended the fair be-
ing held in Jcrmyn by the Sacred Heart
church of that place. while as large Il
crowd went to the festival being held
in Archibald. The matinee dance in Jer
mHn was also an attraction for q num-
Der of social inclined young men. There
were but few slight dsorderlE scenes
on the street and but two special police
men were added to the force. But few
arrests We're made and Milton McKenna
was the only prisoner in the Jail last
night. IN the morning q car was stalled
by Il bad rail at TIL" curve at Larkin &
Duffy's. and Il crowd on the street made
life miserable for a few minutes for the
imports. After this slight outbreak, no
more ears were run through here. The
day. as whole. was pleasantly en-
iOyed by Carbondalians. AT the Trim
ity and Berear Baptist churches the
programmes as given in TUESDAYS Tri-
bune were carried out in full.

Of the promise, when the gentleman

ton and shut on debate It was rail.
roaded through the House without the
members on either side having a
chance to understand it. It was
dangerous bill, and would invite all.
the trusts to come to West Virginia.
The only argument he heard in favor
OF the bill was that we need the money.
This was the same that the robber
made. It was an admission that the
Republican party was unable to con-
duct our State, government. The ques-
lions Of ownership OF real estate or
of capital by an Individual or a cor
poration are very different PROPOSE
lions. To begin with, the indiyiduar
is created by God Almighty with Ger
tain inalienable rights, while corpor-
alton is an artificial being, having ex-
istence through authority and right
accorded it by the natural being, the
citizen. The citizen must pay dollar
for dollar for what he purchases,
whether in real estate or anything else,
and his capital is represented dollar
for dollar, each dollar by dollar,
while with the corporation the artific-
ial peTs8n, it is different. 1t has its
existence 10y the snfferance OF the peo-
pie and does business on an artificial
basis. BY paving in one cent it gets
ten cents Of stock; by paying ten cents
it gets 81 Of stock; by paying 81 it
GETS $40; by paying s160 it gets 81, 600
stock. Then all the corporations Of
f,cers and stockholders have to do is
boom the stock and do business on the
artificial value thus created. If they
make their stock worth 100 cents on
the 81 the have 900 per cent profit.
This bill was the same hydra-headed
monster brought here two years ago

killing of the skunk, or polecat, in

tain Senate amendments, which were
cOncurred in.
The amendments made by the SEN
ate to H. B. II were concurred in. The
bill relates to changing the times of

Messrs. Grant, Anderson and Briant
asked unanimous consent to change

that they voted for II. B. 1863, relating

MIR. Brannon spoke Of the large hold
ings of lands in old times by the
ecclesiastical powers and how it had
been abused. The bill turned loose
on the State and to create new ones ad
libitum, to have and to hold all in
sight and out of sight. He then crit
icized the manner in which the bill
had been introduced and passed to
third reading. He declared that no
member of the minority had a chance
to examine the bill and it's amend
ments. He declared that corporation
could be formed under this law to
run a peanut stand around the corner
and go out and buy and sell lands
for profit, in violation OF the Code. The
Republican party existed and was
maintained by and Illuminated in the
trusts. According to the gentlemen
preceding him, the preservation OF
pure air and water depended upon
trusts. He remembered that large and
costly additions had been made to the
Weston asylum by the Democrats. He
discussed the difference between the
right of the individual to hold unlim-
tied quantities of land, which was a
natural right, and right of the corpor-
alton, which was an artificial right. II
it was benefcent for humanity for the
corporations to hold the forests for
pure air and pure water, why tax them
at all? Why not subsidize them like
the shipping interests? According to
latter day Repubicanism the Consti-
tuition of the United States is nasty
document, the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence out Of date, and the ten COM
mandments, especially that poAion,
Thou shalt not steal" have become
as questionable as a woman's last
years bonnet He then criticized the
State University, and said from the
report that came in to-day, it would
seem that enough money had been paid
out in salaries to instruct 100000
children. He thought it dangerous
bill, would do all he could to defeat it,
and would let his Republican friends
have all the honor Of passing it.
While pretending to hate trusts, they
put to sleep on the previous day the
Harmer antitrust law, and are prob
ably now writing its epitaph. There
is too much anti-Americanism. There
is too much disregard Of fundamental
principles in this country.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Brannon's
remarks the bill was put upon its pass-
age and was passed by party vote of
40 ayes to 16 noes. Mr.. Anderson CDeml
was paired with Mr.. Davis (Rep.), and
Mr. Grant (Rep) with Mr.. Wetzel
(Dem.)
DIR Fisher, of Morgan spoke on the
bill, discussing it generally, in explain
ing his vote. He commended the bill,
but would not vote for the bill be-
cause he had not heard the amend
ments. He said 1t was the right OF the
Democrats to oppose the bill IL they
chose to do so, but not to obstruct its
passage, as the duty OF writing laws
on the statute books had been dele
gated to the Republicans and they
were responsible.
Mr. Martin moved that the vote on
H. @. 1T, concerning State licenses,
be reconsidered. Mr.. Stapleton moved
to lay on the table. Lost. Mr.. Mar
tins motion then prevailed. 1t was
then made the special order for g

that corporations might buy up the

this would be a blessing. The clear
ing OF the is rendering our water inn

the capital of West Virginia. The
Great Kanawha was muddy day after
day from washings for these clear
ings. He denied that the law would
favor trusts. What was there here
now to keep out trusts? What could
keep out the Standard Oil trust? He
alleged that the previous night when
the finance committee endeavored to
impose tax on the Standard Oil and
South Penn companies the Democrats
were in haste to vote against it.
The last Legislature, half Democratic
and half Republican, made $500, 900
more appropriations than ever before.
He claimed the Republicans had TO use
hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay
Democratic debts. The Republican
party had started the University and
Normal schools, while the Democrats
lad put provision in the constitution
that no more normal schools should
be established He denied that the
Democrats built the asylum at Yves
ton. That asylum was built by old
Virginia, and before the Democrats
came into power in West Virginia
They did start the Spencer asylum, but
never completed it.
He said he was not Influenced by
State officers, saying that il he had
not sense enough TO act on his own
judgment, he would quit and go home
The State officials had only Furnished
such information in their possession as
was desired He quoted from the bill
showing that one item alone would
cause an increase OF $4,000.
