This company played Baton
Rouge Dec. 9Th, of this season, and
is playing a return engagement
Saturday night, Dec. 81. No
higher recommendation could be
given it SO far as the people of
that place are concerned. We
clip the following from the Baton
Rouge Truth:
"a Wise Woman" under the
management of Mr.. Leslie Davis,
was greeted both at matinee and
reguls performance yesterday by
large audiences, Notwithstanding
the patrons of Elks Theatre had
received several severe jars during
the first days of the week by COM
ing in contact with "rotten shows"
and were, in consequence, consid-
cradle disguised. When it became
known, however, that Mr.. Leslie
Davis was manager of "a Wise
Woman" people were convinced
that his show was a fine one and
so it proved.
OF the many excellent troupes
brought here by Mr.. Davis this
one stands at the head of the list.
Among the actors and actresses
there is not single one but is per-
feet in the role in which they APP
pear. The parts are lively, dia-
logues exceedingly witty, music |
and song sweetly sung.
The entire show from start to i'm
lrh is highly amusing and of the
most refined character. There is
nothing coarse or vulgar, as is too
often the case in low comedy.
Truth seldom prints after notices

condemnation, but in the present

We think the railroad officials
should see that the travelling pub
lie is given some comfort while
waiting for trains, especially
these cold nights, by having fire
in the waiting room. Morgan
City is one of the stations that
never have a fire, no matter in
what condition the weather is in.
It is very disagreeable to be sit
ting in the cold waiting for a
train, more so when it is an hour
or more late.

NEW JERSEY SENATORSHIP.
Former Attorney General Griggs Said
to Be In the Lead.

to Be In the Lead.
A special to the New York World from
Trenton, N. j., yesterday says: The con-
test for General Sewell's seat in the United
States Senate is now being waged under
cover. From now until the legislature
meets, next Tuesday, every movement Of
the aspirants will be underground. The
situation is still complicated, and 1t Is any
mans victory, with no influence in sight to
promise an early solution. So far it Is a
fight of courtesy, matter of merit and
not political or factional dissension
The result of yesterdays conferences is
that former Attorney General Griggs gains
votes in both Ocean and Monmouth coun-
ties. The Ocean delegation was before yes
terday for Senator Stokes and had been so
listed, but there was a change of situation,
which is explained by Senator Shinn of
Ocean.
reasons" said Shinn-"because L consider
him the most qualified for the position of
any candidate yet mentioned, and because
do not think that all the candidates are
sincere. l have no intention of tying my
self up to any man to be used as a pawn
in the interest of somebody else. / asked
Griggs If he were a sincere candidate, and
upon his statement that he is, l voluntarily
pledged him my vote
Notwithstanding the refusal of United
States Senator John Kean to commit HIM
self to the support of any candidate, it is
the general belief that national influences
that are friendly to Griggs will induce the
United States senator to cast his influence
in Griggs' favor. Union, Middesex and
Monmouth are the counties whose probable
attitude in the contest is exciting special
attention, and it is said Kean's decision
will go far toward deciding their vote.
A number of polls were made yesterday
and last night by political guessers, all of
which showed Stokes to be in the lead. but
speculation formed the basis of all to a
large extent. Few OF the assembly men
outside of the counties that have candi-
dates of their own have made any promises
as yet.
