A Fine Attraction.

The people who visited Morton's
Theatre last Friday night and saw
that fine pastoral play, 1.-THE Minis
ter's Son." are loud in their praise
of it. 1t was pronounced by most
everyone to be the most enjoyable
attraction seen there this season.
Mr.. w. b. Patton, the leading man
in the role of Simon Ray, certainly
filed the bill as peculiar comedian.
His acting was on the quaint order
throughout, and he captured the au-
dience at the beginning.
His support was excellent, and in
divIdual mention for the rest of the
cast is hardly necessary. If they
play in Madisonville again it will be
to standing room only.
Messrs. Morton and Ruby wish to
thank the people of Morton's Gap
and Darlington for their liberal pat
ronage and kind appreciation. They
will have another swell attraction in
short while and will try to arrange
for another special train.

Vendome Stock Company.

1t is with pleasure that we an
nounce that Manager McGary has
secured the Vendome Stock Com
pany for next Tuesday night, March
4. This company will present what
is considered by those who have
seen them to be their best attraction.
The beautiful four-act society drama.
"Miss HOBBS will be played in
Darlington for the first time. Those
who saw "Miss Hobbs" in Madison
vile, and remember the work of the
leading man and lady, Mr.. Malcolm
Williams and Miss Radcliffe, will
be glad to learn that they are still
members of this well balanced COM
pany and will have the leading roles
in the play here Tuesday night. Any
reports to the contrary in regard to
them are false. All who wish to see
a high-class comedy, tul of rich
humor, should not miss such an at
traction. The Vitagraph will be in
troduced between acts. The pic
lures shown by this machine are
first-class and prove very enjoyable.
High-class specialties are also given
between acts. The prices of admls-
sion will be %, 30 and soc. Seats are
now on sale at the st. Bernard Store.

"a Breezy Time"

Fritz & Webster will be at the
Temple in "a Breezy Time" Thurs.
day, March ID. They carry a brass
band and orchestra with them. The
following is from the Columbus
(Ga.) Enquirer-Sun:
"a Breezy Time was the attrac.
ton at Springer's. A fair audience
was out and the performance was
highly enjoyed.
"A Breezy Time has no plot, but
is combination of comicalities and
fun-making sayings and doings
which manage to keep the audience
in good humor. The specialtIes are
numerous, and most of them arc
good.
Dock and Ward, as Smiley
Spooner and Hans Blotz, are the
stars, and sustain themselves we'll.
Their support was strong enough to
make the performance, as whole,
quite an amusing one"

DOWN IN THE MINES.

DIR. Bates, Of Tennessee. who is
the guest of Foreman Toombs, spent
portion of last week in and around
the coal mines here.
1t is said that the darkeys at
Pembroke, while much in need of
coal, are so superstitious that they
would not touch piece of the coal
thrown from the car by the darkey
who was shot and killed by the late
Conductor Johnson while attempt
to steal coal.
A fall of slate in one of the main
entries stopped work at the Victoria
mine for about day lastweek while
the obstacle was being removed.
Secretary Geo. Rash, of the Vic
toria mine, returned last Friday
from a trip to Frankfort and Louis
vile.
Business and pleasure combined
called Secretary Geo. G. Atkinson of
the st. Bernard Company to Louis
vile for day or two last week.
Twenty thousand miners IN Colo
RADIO are bowling mad at the Legis-
lature of that State which threatens
to so tax the mine property as to
compel the mines of the State to
close down. This shows what great
damage would be done to labor by
the assage of obnoxious tax laws.
Superintendent Thomas Rutland
says although there are many threats
flying around, the Empire mines
continue to produce large amount
of coal daily. He says that strenu-
Gus efforts are being put forth to find
and punish the man or men who as
sassinated officer Coffey, and he has
hopes of success.
The war against trusts by the
adoption of stringent laws was gen.
orally believed to have been favored
by labor leaders, but the following
from the Manufacturers Record
would indicate that such is not
wholly the case:
All doubt about the buncombe in
proposed antitrust measure in the
legislature of Maryland was re-
moved by the adoption by the lower
house of an amendment, drafted by
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, which provided
that nothing in the act should be
construed as applying to trade
unions or other labor organizations
What Mr.. Gompers has to do with
framing laws for the people of Mary.
land does not clearly appear. Blu
his expressed hope that the bill
might be defeated in case the
amendment should not be adopted
indicates a recognition on his par
that an antitrust measure would
naturally apply to some of the labor
organizations of the country, and i
enforced, would remove all reason
for the existence of labor leaders
The adoption of the amendment wal
an indication that the passage of the
bill would be without any effect ex
cept upon the dupes of agitators
Such an exception as that proposed
by Mr.. Gompers would undoubtedly
work toward a judicial declaration
of the unconstltutlOnality of thu
measure.

BLACKLISIING CASE
The Coal Commission Makes a De.
cision Regarding Certain
Testimony.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 5.--When to-day's
session of the strike commission was
opened a long colloquoy was begun over
the objection of Lawyer Everett Warren
of Scranton, to hearing the testimony of
William Markowick, an engineer employed
before the strike by the Delaware,S Lack
awanna & Western Company. This wit
nessswas on the stand when adjournment
was taken yesterday. He struck when
the steam men were called out and was re-
fused his place when the strike was over
because it had been filled.
Mr.. Warren said the witness should not
be heard. His place had been filed be-
cause he voluntarily left it and therefore
the company was not guilty of blacklisting
him., Harry Reynolds, for the Peoples
Coal Company made the point that the
concern he represented promised men good
positions If they took strikers places
They came and the company felt it was
bound to protect such men.
1T was decided that. where it was ad-
mitted by the operators that some men
whose places had been filed or in whose
cases there was a special reason for not
employing them, were not taken back
it would be a waste Of time to hear further
testimony and that such facts may be laid
before the commission on request of the
opposing SIDE The witness was per-
mitted to continue inasmuch as he had
already started his testimony, but nothing
new developed. '..-.2@. -

PLANS OF BABCOCK

May Seek Aid From ...,:
Democrats.
johnson Claims Already to Have
Pledges to Insure Him the
speakership.

1t was reported to-day that in case he
fails to get a majority of the republican
house members committed to his candt-
dacy, for speaker, DR.. Babcock will de-
cline to go into caucus, and depend on
the aid of the fifteen democrats to win
him a majority Of the house. The gov
ernor's statement, while it will not de-
clare by name against Babcock, will be
such as to make the inference plain that
he does not prefer the Wadena man.
This will hold the majority Of repub-
licans aloof, as they are to-day. It Is
also counted on to win for the doctor the
good will Of the minority. However, If
the administration candidate gets sixty
republican votes that will give him the
situation stands to-day, Johnson has
enough. q.
Both sides are resting on their arms,
with skirmish lines thrown out. Waiver
ing members on both sides are being
worked upon. In this contest, as in every
one of the kind, there are men who have
agreed to support both candidates, md
when the time comes will be for the
winner. " "t
The governors sta tement is still anx-
iously awaited. He is far from well, and
spent the day at his hotel, after a few
minutes at his office this morning. The
suspense in which house members are
thrown does not seem to worry him.
Rumors have gone abroad that the gov
ernor has rebelled against attempted die
tation by his advisers These are founded
on nothing. The governor has sought
advice, but none has been thrust upon
him, and his relations with his official
family are Of the closest. However, when
his statement is issued, it will be his
own. No one else has attempted to draw
one for him, and the governor, always
speaks for himself

BARGAINS" CAME HIGH
Old City Hall Furniture Auctioned
. OFF at Prices That Would
Have Bought New.

There were few bargains yesterday at
the auction sale OF furniture in the old
city hall. Almost $500 was cleaned up,
which was several hundred more than was
expected. A most ancient safe, which
never was burglar proof and probably not
even fire proof, was bid up to $67. This
iron box is the old relic which stood so
long In the assessors department.
The old typewriter desk in the mayor 9
office used by Joe Mannix, Charlie
Cheney and Stiles Jones, sold for s12. A
new one can be bought for the same
money but would not of course have the
same historic associations.
The table in the council chamber at
which the reporters worked was sold for
49,. It was plain ordinary table and can
be duplicated, brand. new, in any furni-
tl,fe store in the city for about &c.
Joshua Rogers old desk though sound
and serviceable is old-fashioned in style
and construction. 1t was knocked down
after lively competition for SIS. Specta

done better at any Of the big furniture
stores.
A unique bit Of furniture was the presi-
dents desk or table in the mayors office
1t Is not suitable for an office. In fact it
would be difficult to decide what use ii
could be put to-, yet the auctioneers had
httle trouble IN securing IS for it.
Old chairs, in many cases, brought al
most as good prices as new, but it is
understood that many were bought more
as relics of the old city hall than with
any unitarian purpose In view.

BAD STORM IN NEW YORK
Heavy Snow Fall in Albany and in
Parts of Pennsylvania-Sleet
in New York City.

New York, Dec. "a snow and sleet
storm delayed traffic in New York to-
day. Service on the elevated lines was
seriously interfered with and communica-
ton between uptown and down town by
means of the surface lines was very slow
and difficult.
Dispatches from all parts of this state
show that the storm is prevailing every
where with varying severity.
AT Albany the snow fall is very heavy
and all trains are reported from one to
five hours late. Blizzard conditions pre-
vail, at Schenectady, Newburg, Saratoga
and other places in the east and north
part Of. the state. From Rochester to
Buffalo the storm Is very severe. 80,
In this city the storm developed into a
blizzard as the day grew, About an inch
of snow fell during the forenoon. Sound
steamers arrived several hours late and
their officers reported the storm very
heavy up the sound. = H.. ~
Telegraphic service east Of New York
to New England, especially, is Frustrated
and northward throughout New York
state the service is greatly impeded by the

London; Dec. 5--The Roumanian Bulle-
tin, which is published periodically in
London, with the object of bringing to
the knowledge of the civilized world the
authentic facts relating to the persecu-
ton Of Roumanian Jewish subjects, points
out that the circular note addressed to
the European powers by Secretary Haylast
August does not represent the sum total
Of the action taken by the American gov
eminent on behalf Of the prosecuted Jews
of Roumania. Before dispatching his note
to the powers Secretary Hay expostulated
directly with the Roumanian, government,
and the text of the protest which was pre-
scented on that occasion by the American
minister at BuSherest is now printed for
the first time. The note, which is dated
July II, 1902, opens with a reference to
preceding negotiations Of naturalization
between the United States and Roumania,
and goes on to say:
whether conscientiously and Of pur-
pose or not many of the inhabitants or
Roumania. burdened and spurned by their
native land, are forced upon the charities
Of the United States. This government
cannot be a tacit party to such interna-
tional wrongs and is constrained to pro-
test against the treatment to which the
Jews Of Roumania are subjected, not
alone because it has unimpeachable
grounds to demonstrate against resultant
injury to itself, but in the name OF hu-
mainly.
Occupying this ground and maintaining
these views, it behooves us to see that, in
concluding a naturalization convention,
no implication may exist of any
obligation on the part of the
United State to receive and = con-
vert these unfortunates into citizens,
yet to agree to the imposition of such
legal disability upon them by reason Of
their creed as may operate to deny them
the judicial remedies there which all
American citizens may justly claim in ac-
cordance with the laws and comfy Of
nations"
