BRYAN IN HoLYoKE.
Few Leading Democrats Called on
 the Nebraskan.


 Holyoke, Mass, Jan. 1O.-W. J. Bryan visited Holyoke today as the guest of Christopher T. Callahan. He came as lecturer under the auspices Of the Knights of Columbus. He was given half hours pubic reception and the lecture began at 8 O clock. Mir. Bryan ar rived in the city this afternoon and went to the West Street School. The children and he responded with a grateful bow.
 Principal Lynch made a few introduc- tory remarks, after which MT. Bryan gave a fifteen minute talk to the chil-- dren. He advised them to gain good education, and to strive for higher education after graduating from gram mar or higl, school. He concluded by asking the children to sing America; & ed himself at the exit where he shook hands with each as he passed.
 He was taken to Mir. callahans resi- dence for dinner and remained until near of Columbus rooms The reception was not largely attended and only few leading Democrats called Not more than 800 heard the lecture. but the audience and many of the points in the discourse were applauded. John J. Lynch presided and introduced the speaker. Many wo-
 MT. Bryan's subject was "A Conquer ing Nation," and while he dealt with political subjects, the tone of his ad- dress was wholly non-partlsan, no Iet- erence being made to any party in his address. His general purpose was to show that this nation should be of moral rather than physical force and to domi- nate only with moral ideas. He began by briefly defining imperialism and said that the moral element was not only an important but the most important element in government. He discussed the means whereby the individual could in- fiuence those above him, asserting that the highest service a man could render was to set good example. Arguing from the individuality of the nation, he said that no nation should aspire to higher things than the conquest of what he called the inferior races. By the power of it's example it should destroy thrones and inspire people not only to self government but to progress toward qualification in government.

It is seldom the good fortune of an ac- tor or actress to receive anything ap- proaching the enthusiastic reception given the talented actress, Viola Allen, at the Montgomery Theatre last night. Tn the Palace, of the King was the vehicle with which Miss Allen made her debut in Montgomery. A better one than Marion Crawford's beautiful love story, drama tized by Lorrimer Stoddard. could not have been selected.
 "In the Palace of the King is de- licious story of love and intrigue in the old Moorish palace of Philip of Spain. Don John, half brother of the king. has just returned to Madrid after his victo-, rious career against the Moors at Gran-' ada where the play begins.
 The company supporting Miss Allen Is, perhaps the best road company ever seen in Montgomery. The scenery was beau- tiful, the great attention to detail being one of the most pleasing and striking fea- tures This was noticeable particularly in the second scene, when Don John makes his first appearance in the Great commands Dolores to dance the minuet. The costumes were very rich and in per- feet harmony with every scene the bright colors of these costumes making beauti- ful stage pictures.
 MT. Stoddard has made some radical changes from the text of MT. Crawford's s novel, but these changes only enhance the dramatic possibilities of the book in- stead of detracting from them. The most striking feature in this respect is the murderous attack upon the Cardinal by Philip in Don Johns apartments. This was a pronounced departure from the novel, but the dramatic interest was in- creased as Dolores finally succeeded in

 VIOLA ALLEN MAKES A HIT

forcing a release for Don John from u . King.
 Viola Allen is "a native of Huntsville. She is not beautiful in the strict sense of the word Yet there is an individual ity about her art, a light and fire of ge- nius in her expression that makes one forget whether he is looking at and list ening to a beautiful woman. Her range and versatility is remarkable. From the tender love passages with Don Jonn up to the heights of her defiance of the King of Spain she shows the finished, cultivated artist.
 MT. Bonney made vast deal out of rather an ungrateful part, and as the murderous hang-dog King Of spain ht filled every requirement. Mir. Pascoe as Don John was the ideal dashing lover of the days of long ago.
 Miss Adelaide Prince as the Princess of Eboli made all that was possible out of the character of the intriguing wo- Adelaide Warren as the. blind sister of Dolores was used most effectually and she was a close second to the star.
 There was not standing room anywhere in the theatre, Montgomerys best peo- pie packing the .'pea-nutr gallery, dress circle and lower floor. Standing room had been sold and many men stood in the doors and aisles.
 The warm appreciation of the audience was shown by the six or eight enthusias- tic curtain calls at the end of each act or scene.
 Miss Allen has made a great hit ir Montgomery and the little woman will ever hold a place in the hearts of the atre-goers here who love art for arts sake.
 The company came to Montgomery on a special train consisting of two baggage cars. a day coach and a Pullman car, from Macon, Ga., yesterday morning and at F o'clock last night the-train left for Mobile.

MANILA IN GOOD CONDITION.
Hazlett Says It is the Best Governed
 City He Ever Saw.

San Francisco, Jan. 1O.-Rev A. L. Hazlett. a Methodist Episcopal preacher of Colorado City, Colo, has returned from the Philippines. He went to the islands at the request of General Mo- Arthur, and under the authority of the Secretary of War, to study and report upon the moral condition in the islands. particularly at Manila.
 His report is that he found a gratify- ing condition of affairs in the metropolis of the Philippines. Manila is the best governed city I have ever seen," said Rev. Mir. Hazlett. "and I do not believe its equal in this respect exists in the United States today. The moral condi- tion is better than ever before in hls- tory. Since the American occupation the arrests for drunkenness have rapidly de- creased in number, and for the good reason that drunkenness has been dis couraged by the authorities in the right manner. It was formerly said that there were 400 saloons on the Escola, but now not one is to be found there. The total number of saloons in the city Is 109. and they are governed in strict manner The city generally is in pretty good con- dition, and it's management reflects credit upon the Americans since they have been in charge"
