As for Mamma Skilligan, she was not Put Out a Particle. Not on your Facial Expression! A good many Competent Judges had told her that Shakespeare must have had her in Mind when he wrote the Part, but Il the Club preferred a large, course Creature to tackle that beautiful Stuff, let it go at that!
 Just to prove that she wasn't Miffed, she bought all of the lower Boxes and on the Night of the Performance she gave a Dinner Party at which the Gentlemen pro ceeded to tea up and roast the Large Party, in spite of anything she could say to choke them off. Along about o'clock she said it was time to go down and watch the Balloon go up.
 The Push landed in at the Op- era House just in time to break up the Scene in which the Child Sweetheart signs and wonders where Romeo is. The whole Outfit came into the Boxes and upset Chairs and begged everybody else to take the Front Seats and called for Programmes. By the time they settled down and got ready to kid the Performance, the large White Mass up on the Shelf didn't know whether she was playing Juliet or Bridge Whist. She got twisted on her Lines, so that Ro- meo, with the Red Mustaches, skipped a couple of Speeches. Then the Moon shifted few Feet and the Balcony squeaked and promised to give way and some one in the Skillgan Party made low Crack that started a Giggle. Juliet lasted, but she was too Pink for Words.
 Then Mrs. Skilligan said she was sorry for the Poor Thing, for it really wasn't her Fault, as she had been bunkoed into thinking she was Good.
 Juliet had 8 Curtain Calls, or two more than Melba's Record, and before the Night was over she received so many Flowers and was complimented so often by those who came up to her little Supper Party, that she had good Notion to leave Wrinkle and go and work for Charley Frohman. in fact, at A. M. she was ready to make affidavit that she had Virginia Harmed, Maxine Elliot and Mary Mannering thrown back into the Chorus.
 Next Day the Paper said that she was Great and she took 200 Extra Copies and read them all herself and then sent few to the Skilligans.
 About month after that Mrs. Skilligan gave Fancy Dress Ball with Costumes all the way from St. Louis and three kinds of Punch on the Dining Room Table. Lady Skilligan did Queen Elizabeth riftn $S0,000 worth of Rock Crystals

MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS
Heated Debate over Platform, Ending
in Defeat Of Bryan Faction.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 1.-THE dem
-ocratic state convention assembled in
Boston today for the nomination of
a state ticket to he voted for in Novem-
Der The convention was called TO
order shortly before noon in fremont
Temple by Congressman Henry 5.
Naphen. The two candidates for the
gubernatorial nomination are Colonel
William a. CASTOR and Charles S.
Hamlin, the frst-named seemingly
having a slight lead in the race.
The platform, which will be pre-
Dared by a committee headed by
George Fred Williams, will come out
strongly against the trusts, condemn
the administration policy in the Phil
ippines and declare for tariff revision.
The faction in the Massachusetts
democracy supporting the principles
adopted at Kansas City and the ele-
ment opposed 20 Bryan and many of
his doctrines were admittedly at odds
this morning over the construction OF
a platform. For nearly ten hours the
committee on resolutions debated the
question. Inc Kansas City platform
adherents, headed by George Fred Will
liams, were defeated-14 TO Z. The
convention was called to order at IL

nitching his horse, he tied the animal
to tree and then built a bonfire. It
was a tiresome night for Mr.. Weed.
for he was treed by bears and noun
tain lions, and only kept them away
from him by constantly piling pinon
brush upon the fire and keeping red
hot blaze going all night long. When
daylight put in an appearance his tor
mentors sneaked away. giving Mr..
Weed little opportunity to mediate
seriously over his experience and to
hitch his thoroughly frightened horse
to the wagon. He finally got out of the
mountains by the right road, and made
haste to the city. Mr.. Weed is telling
his experience to friends, and if any
one wishes to be regaled with a true
bear story they can be accommodated
by calling on Mr.. Weed.

Colored Baptists Meet.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 17.-Repre-
sentative colored men and women
from all parts of the country are gath
cred in Birmingham for the annual
National Baptist Convention, which
began weeks session here today.
The fact that the association has
grown in little more than a decade to
its present size and Importance as the
leading colored Christian organization
of the country is sufficient guarantee
that the convention proceedings will
be full of interest to those in any way
desirous of seeing the advancement of
the negro race.
The association is the largest or
ganized body of colored Christians in
the country, numbering more than all
other colored renglous bodies combin-
ed. The first convention was held in
St. Louis in 1887, since which time
conventions have been held in a num-
ber of large cities in both the north
and south Upon the membership roll
of the society are found the names of
the presidents of colleges, editors of
UNCONVENTIONAL journals, influential
women, and representative men in the
ministry. These are all blended
together for the one purpose of ad-
vancing the mission work of the color
ed Baptists both at home and abroad.

a. m. and it looked then as if a long
wrangle was in prospect. These diff.
ferences, together with the candidacy
of Charles S. Hamlin for the nomina.
ton for governor, gave the proceed.
ings interest greater than any taken in
similar assembly of democrats since
the days of free silver campaign.
Before the proceedings opened, Mr.
Williams made a statement, in which
he said:
Il am only just beginning to fight
| have been led to believe that Colonel
CASTOR and his supporters would not
make any effort to renounce the policy
of the party as laid down at the last
national convention. Had it been sup
posed two months ago that the party
would turn it's back on the policies, Col
onel CASTOR could not have got more
than a tenth of the delegates to the
convention. Whenever | have appeal
ed to the people they have sustained
me, and believe they will again when
the issue is presented"
Henry iNaphen was chosen for per
manent chairman of the convention.

CROWDED SCHOOLS.
Superintendent Stroup's Recommen.
datlons Adopted by the Board.
MEETING LAST NIGHT.

The members of the city school
board were called together in special
meeting last night to make provisions
for the overcrowded schools.
Superintendent Stroup reported L.
Oi2 pupils in attendance, which is more
than hundred over the enrolment of
last year.
The Second and Fourth ward
schools are especially overcrowded.
Some of the rooms in these wards have
as high as 80 pupils in attendance.
Prof. Stroup recommended dividing
the primary department of the Second
ward and sending half of the pupils to
the frame school building on South
Edith street, sending the sixth grade
from the Second grade to Miss Clusters
in the First ward. Miss Clusters has
only eighteen pupils and Prof. Stroup
suggested that a dozen pupils of the
sixth grade in the Fourth ward should
be sent to her.
Supt. Stroup further recommended
that TO relieve the crowded situation
in the Fourth ward il would be neces-
sary to secure another school room
and the overflow from the first and
third grades be sent to ii.
The board adopted the superintend-
ents recommendations and gave the
teachers committee and the superin-
tendent power TO act in the matter of
employing two new teachers and make
the changes made necessary by the
crowded situation
The building committee was in
structed to secure. furnish and equip
the additional room necessary and TO
have them ready for occupancy as soon
as possible.
The president of the board inform
ally referred to the request OF J. H..
O'Rielly, president of the fair associa-
tion, that the schools bo represented
in the fair parade.
Miss Mabel Hunt, who has been act
ing as substitute teacher, was promot-
ed TO regular teacher and ordered 10

morning.

SKIPPED OUT.
Silver City bad" Policeman Did Not
Wait for Sentence.
PREPARING FOR FUTURE FLOODS.

Silver City, N. NJ, Sept. 16.--Perfec.
to Rodriguez, who was tried at this
| term of the district court for drawing a
deadly weapon and firing same at City
Marshal Brent, disappeared the other
evening just as the jury was going to
turn in its verdict on his case. Rodri.
guez was out on bond and when the
judge sent for him to read the verdict
of the jury the officers were unable to
find him and up to the present time no
clue to his whereabouts has come to
light. Rodriguez, at the time he got in
to the trouble, was the night marshal
of the city and endeayored to stop
City Marshal Brent from arresting one
of his Mexican friends, who was dis
turbing the peace. The jury found
him guilty on the first count and he
must have gotten wind of it and skip
ped out. A number of people here are
of the opinion that he is in hiding
near by and the officers who are
searching for him will get him in a
few days.
O.. Myhre received telegram this
morning from his father at his old
home in Iowa stating that his mother
was not expected to live. and he left
on the evening train for that point.
Candidates for the nomination on
the democratic and republican tickets
are bobbing up every day now and
from the present indications calves are
to be slaughtered at both conventions.
Engineer J. A. Harlan, formerly with
the Santa Fe road for a long period Of
years, has drawn plats for this city for
the construction of an enormous dam
to be built at the foot of Main street,
which he stated. in his opinion, will
save that part of the town from fur
ther damage by floods and also reclaim
the street by filling it up to the requir-
ed level. The dam would be about
thirty-three feet high and be built in
such a substantial way that IL would
withstand any food that may come
down and also leave water way in
the center to prevent the water back
ing up and flooding the other streets.
He states that the cost Of its cOnstruc-
ton will be about $4,000. Mr.. Harlan
was awarded the contract for the con
struction of an iron bridge across
Broadway on Main street, where the
Hoods had washed quite an arroyo at
the cost of sl,470. The work will be
commenced at once on the bridge so as
to have it completed as soon as posi-

II. S. Osbord, a health seeker, who
has been in Silver City for the past

CHOCTAW COMING
Santa Fe and Rock Island Joint
Owners.
LINE FROM SANTA ROSA WESTWARD
President GOmpers Issues Statement
Regarding Miners Strike.
REVOlUTIONlSTS ADVANCE IN VENEZUELA

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat says:
There is reason to believe that the
Rock Islands extension of the Choc-
taw road from Amarillo to Santa Rosa,
on the FL Paso division OF the Rock
Island, is the preparatory step to the
formation of trunk line from Mem
phis to the coast. and from st. Louis
and Kansas City to the coast. The
main arteries of the Mississippi-Pa-
cific trade are the Southern Pacific and
the Atchison. The latter's main line
by La Junta extends through the noun
tains, and is heavy and circutous. The
extension of the Choctaw to Santa
Rosa will be followed by a further ex-
tension in the direction of Albuquer-
que. meeting the Santa Fe Pacific di-
vision at that point.
THE line from Memphis to the coast
by way of this extension will be
straight and low grade, and up to the
requirements of trunk line. 1t is be-
lieved that the through traffic over the
Santa Fe will finally trend over the
Wichita and Washburn line, and that
the La Junta route will be abandoned
as a main line. Although the Santa
Rosa and Albuquerque extensions are
being built by the Rock Island, there
is reason to believe that they will be
used Jointly by the Santa Fe and Rock
Island. There is also said to be bind
ing treaty between the two roads pre-
venting the invasion of territory domi-
mated by either"

THE COAL MINERS STRIKE.
President Gompers of the Labor FEEDER
alton Makes a Statement.


Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 17.-Presi-
dent Gompers, of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, has issued the follow
ing statement:
AT this time it is impossible to say
exactly when the strike will terminate,
but after a careful inquiry into the sit
uation at the mines, 1 am convinced
that the struggle will end by agree
ment. Wage earners and the general
public are generously contributing to
the aid of the miners. 1t is essential
that this aid he extended and con-
tinued.
IF the manhood of the miners is to
be maintained they must at least have
bread for their wives and little ones, as
well as for themselves. The declared
attitude of the presidents of the an
thracite railroads has not apparently
changed Despite this fact. | am fully
convinced that the strike will end
through agreement, with improved con-
ditions for the miners and the union
maintained"
