A Remarkable News Beat

The Press on Oct. IA was the only
Philadelphia paper giving, in its early
editions, the result of the conference
between President Roosevelt and !.
Pierpont Morgan that practically set
tied the coal strike. The agreement
of the coal nine operators to arbitrate
their differences with the miners was
news OF national importance. The
Press being the only newspaper to
give the public this news in the wide
territory covered by its first editions,
made notable addition to its many
similar achievements in the past.
The Press at the popular price of one
cent daily places its vast and complete
news service within the reach of all.

state from ring misrule. The party Or
ganization is reported to be in better
and more effective condition than for
many years past. A large anqeint OF
work has been done that does not
appear upon the surface There Is
every assurance Of vote for the Dem
ocratic candidates that will exceed that
of last year, when the machine major
ity, a considerable proportion of 1t
being fraudulent, was less than 40-
600. The Quay contingent is bitterly
complaining of the Indifference Of
many party workers. There is no ex-
pectation OF a plurality for Penny
packer much over $4,000. and with that
a Quay victory in the state will not
be possible. A heavy Independent
vote for Pattison and Guthrie is indi-
Gated, and such close watch will be
kept on the crooks it will be impos-
sible to repeat the performances of re-
cent years.
From all parts of the state continue
to come encouraging reports to the

Col. Guffey, "but we must push right

night remains and 1t behooves every
patriotic citizen to redouble his ef-
forts in behalf OF this great movement
of the people against the bosses. Pen
nypacker is the weakest candidate the
machine ever put up. A little more

republican methods and loyalty have
changed quite recently the people car
look for little relief from a republican
Congress. On th- other hand, the
attitude OF the President and the facts
which ate coming out IN regatd to
senltoTId! action connected with the
framing OF the Dngley bill make
daily more evident the democratic
claim that democratic majority in
the House could accomplish much for
the relief 5f the people.
#'#
In his recent speech in New York,
the Secretary OF the Treasury made
an appeal which appears to have been
overlooked by the daily press. 1t
was for "non-partisan support of such
measures as will establish lines of
steamship communication with South
America and South Africa" This
was simply an appeal for the motor
ious Ship Subsidy bill which was
engineered through the Senate last
session by Senators Frye aud Hanna
and which now rests in the House
committee on Commerce. There is
no doubt but that a vigorous effort
will be made to pass this bill at the
approaching session and, if sufficient
number of votes can be secured, 1t
will 60 through with a rush. No ap-
peal for non-partlsan support of the
measure will avail, however. The
democrats are unalterably opposed to
the bill, which would take millions Of
dollars from the public treasury and
place them in the pockets of Mr.. ].
Plerpont Morgan, the Standard OIL
Company, which is the largest owner
of ships Of American register, and
other capitalists. 1t is significant Of
republican determination to take care
of then friends that the Secretary of
the Treasury should have seen fit so
early to undertake to pave the way
for this mereuicious measure.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Howard KiyIe.


 To those who like a strong, romantic, patriotic play In which comedy, love scenes, and pathos alternately hold sway from beginning to end, will find it in Nathan Hale," which will be given with Howard Kyle, the young romantic actor, and his company at the Jefferson thea tre next Tuesday, matinee and night.
 Nathan Hale" is said to be Clyde Fitch's masterpiece; It's story is an in- spring one, and Mir. Fitch has made il one of the best American plays ever writ ten and one that will endure.
 Mr. Kyle. by his impersonatfon of the hero patriot, has gained fame and paved the way to fortune. He Is an elastic ac- tor of admirable genre. All of his imper- sonations heretofore have shown this, and in Nathan Hale' has exemplified versatile. His comedy scenes are played with an abundant touch and go,' his sentiment has the true ring and his pathos Is "tear-bringing. His intuition is in variably true and there Is virility about his work that excites to enthusiasm. He has that magnetic quality, too, that wins. He brings with him a good company, in- cluding Miss Florence Smyth, whose sweet ways and charm as Alice Adams, have won her praise from quite all the critics, and she. too. has been winning her way to an important place in her pro fession.
 The production is the same that was seen at the Kniclzerbocker theatre, New York, during the run of the play there.
 At night new play entitled Slaughter and Sirs" will be done.

TO MEET IN MONTGOMERY.
Worlds Fair Committee Will Urge
 State to Make Exhibit.

The commission appointed recently to arrange for an Alabama exhibit at the Worlds fair at St. Louis has been called to meet in Montgomery on December 10. The call was issued yesterday by Com missioner Poole, and two of the mem- bers from Birmingham will attend-J. B. Gibson, who was appointed from the state at large. and G. H. Estes, who was appointed from the Ninth congressional district.
 This meeting will recommend that the state make an appropriation and place a good exhibit at the exposition. It is to be shown that Alabama's progress has been greater, probably, than any other state in the union since the Chicago ex- position, and that her resources are as great as those of any other state. It is believed that the money so invested will be of greater benefit to the state that a similar investment in any other line.
