II presents phase Of life which has
about It all of the atmosphere of the ro-
nance that Is dear to all. In the adapta-
ton, the author has followed Bret

fairly TO breathe the free air of the Sier-

very elaborate one, the scenery being typ

ADJUSTMENTS.
Bioia Theatre.

Manager Holmes, of the Bljou Theatre,
is again offering one of the best attrac-
tions from the New York City theatres
this week Barbara Frietchie' IS the
play. Miss Frances Gaunt will play the
title role. The story Is founded on the
historical story Of that delightful old lady
whose gray head Stonewall Jackson warn
ed his rebel followers against shooting.
But Clyde Fitch has not made his heroine
an old lady. She is charming young
girl, and Miss Gaunt will be seen to ad-
vantage. as she has made one Of the hits
of the season in the part The story Of
the play is a stirring one, full Of beauty,
romance and patriotism. Barbara is the
daughter of a true Southerner Her
brother is one of Stonewall Jackson's bri-
gade. She is loved by Jack Negley, a
Confederate, but her heart is won by Cap
tain Trumbull, of the Union army His
forces have taken Frederickstown, and
are in power when the play opens Life
in the town is shown as the sun Is sink
ing in the west. Barbara's love for the
Union officer becomes known, and costs
her the love of her family and the ad-
miration of her friends.
Matters reach stage where decisive
action is demanded. and the young girl
consents to elope with her sweetheart in
blue. They make their way to the home
of minister. and the marriage is about
to take place, when the noise of battle
is heard Captain Trumbull leaves his
sweetheart's sire to go into the engage
rnent, and is shot by Arthur Frietchie
He is carried to Barbara's home. The
girls father, learning that the Union sol
dier who has won his daughters heart
and turned her against the Confederate
cause, is under his roof and her care, be-
comes violently angry. He storms and
RACES but the happy result is attained and
the close Is satisfactory.
The production here win be the same as
that in New York, which drew crowded
houses for months.

The MoEwan Incident.

While The Republican promoters are try
ing to persuade the public that there is
serious dfscord in the local Democracy,
their own party is in no end of trouble
over the irrepressible and invincible
Thomas McEwan The ex-Congressman
has been quiescent for good while. He
fas been resting and enjoying life. But
OF late he has shown renewed signs Of
activity, and the Dickinson woolIey Fry
machine is agitated most consumediy on
that account.
Mr.. McEwan in their old-time truculent
style. He is to be muzzled. sat upon,
Jumped upon He is to be allowed no say,
no power no place in the party. His
friends are to be ignored and insuIted. Mr..
Fry is evidently as brave bulldozer as
Mr.. Wooliey, and he proposes to pursue
resolutely the same tactics.
Perhaps this plan may succeed. Mr.. Me-
EVAN may not be the same man he was
some three or four years ago. He may
have grown tame and submissive. He
may allow himself and his friends to be
clubbed into submission, and then he may
fail in line and ask leave to help his OPP
ponents elect their tickets.
But We doubt if Mr.. McEwan has under
gone any such change. We rather expect
30 fpd him the same old Tom, honest and
Independent. In that case, he may make
Mr.. Fry very sorry for getting in his way.
and the whole party may experience the
results Of allowing its bosses to maltreat
one Of It's most useful ana public spirited
members

some "JonrneI' Lies Abous ta
Aldermen.

The Evening journal let off steam
Yesterday in the shape OF column al
tack on the Board Of Aldermen. It ae-
cused this august body Of every crime on
the calendar from refusing to license
scommish'' James Connellys Coaonizers
Retreat down to promoting the interests
Of disorderly houses at the expense Il
reputable saloons.
Truth compels the admission that the
complaint regarding Connolly is not new.
The journal has squealed about it
many time and oft. and every squeal
has brought out in reply the most con-
elusive proof that Connolly was an uniit
person to be given a license. He kept a
harbor for repeaters and other fraudu-
lent voters in the Republican interest and
therefore the leaders and the organ of
that party made a great fight for him.
but he never took his case into court or
made any definite effort TO prove that he
was unfairly treated or to seek redress.
He oontented himself with growing, ard
he did SO for the very good reason that
he had not particle of ground on which
to make real fight.
The other accusations in the Jour
nal'sc article are brand new. If there IS
any truth in them, it is wonder they es-
capped exploitation in the recent cam
paign. 1t is also odd that. IL the board
Of Aldermen has injured or suppressed
respectable saloons in the interest of dive
keepers, the journal should only gener
alize about it instead of giving us the ex-
act cases. with the names of the victims
and the beneAciaries and the locations Of
the saloons.
The journal says that the course Of
the Aldermen was one of the reasons for
the recent Democratic defeat in the May
crafty contest. This Us certainly startling
We have heard many explanations of
that event, but none so original as this
Perhaps, if it is true, the Journal will
explain how it happened that while the
Republican Mayor was elected, the DEM
ocratic Alderman was elected in almoer
every ward IN the city. This is a little
puzzle in politics which may well tax tine
ingenuity of Mr.. Alec Mclean or Mr.. Eli
bert Rappleye.
The fact is the Journals" editorial IS
intended to divert attention. 1t is what
people commonly speak of as carrying the
war into the enemy's country. The Elk
else Board named by Mayor Pagan has
already made itself notorious by using its
power in the interest of one of its mem
bers. a saloon-keeDer. This action has
created great scandal in the trade and m
the city at large. The Journal is
scared and is trying to get up counte-
movement.
At any rate there is one thing the Board
of Aldermen can be proud Of The liquor
dealers were never Obliged to treat ie to
q grand spread as a means Of winning
favor at its hands.

why he didn't so out and make some
money, and that the cripple said:
