From Milford News and Advertiser.
The report reached Milford the first
of the week that another company of
PLAYERS who were billed to appear in
this town had been forced to aband"-
the boards. and this leads us TO moral
ize Peninsula towns have been visit
ed by more theatrical and comedy com
panies during the present season than
for several years past, and a large per-
centage of the companies have been
of a very inferior class. The flaming
bills and posters have promised in al
most every instance much more than
the patrons of the playhouse received
for their money, and so It has come to
pass that very small audiences turn out
and the manager finds his receipts be-
hind the expenses of his aggregation.
The sequel Is plain. They go to the
wall. The truth is. in towns such as
Milford entirely too much mney has
gone TO support the oftimes vulgar and
generally inferior troupes that tour
the country. The whole thing is bad
for any community. First-class enter
ltainment. of whatever variety, might

KNOWLES SCHEME TO DEAL WITH
TRUSTEES SUFFERS FREEZE OUT

On Wednesday the Trustees Of the
Poor will organize by electing a chair
man to succeed DR.. Belville. a secretary
succeed John w. Lawson, and a super
intendent to succeed David Mccoy.
The greatest interest is centered
on the election of the superintendent,
and there are rumors of deals, combi-
nations and strings, that would make
Governor Stones Pennsylvania ma
chine go way back and sit down
From present appearances 1t is hard
to say who has the best prospects for
election. There are four or five Regu-
lar Republicans and one Addicksite IN
the fight, with the chances that the
lone follower of the Gasman will be
showed under.
Il is said that all the influence which
lcan be brought to bear in the interest
of James B. Foster. their candidate. is
being exerted by Horace Greeley
Knowles, john r. Taylor, Senator Nc
IFarlin, Levy Courtman Megginson, and
la host of lesser lights.
Offers to exchange votes for attorney,
secretary, chairman, physician and any
old thing are being freely made and
in one or two instances a deal has
been made in the interest of Foster.
These deals will SHOW themselves at
the voting on Wednesday, and the
parties to them will be known.
In one instance, two gentlemen
visited member at his home
land offered to trade off attorney
for superintendent, but were met with
a Hat refusal
Horace Greely Knowles is endeavor-
ing to have the trustees meet at his
office tomorrow afternoon to decide
the next day.
Levy Courtman Chandler was asked
by Mr.. Knowles to have Trustees Kemp
and Rice at his office tomorrow to
meet several other trustees in order
to map out plan of action for the
meeting on Wednesday, but Mr.. Chand-
Ter refused to be a party to a deal Of
this kind
Commissioner Not in the Deal
In speaking of Uhis phase Of the fight,
Mr. Chandler said this morning that
Mr. Knowles had invited him. with
.Other members of the levy Court to
his office tomorrow.
Il declined the invitation" said Mr..
Chandler. believing that it would be
impolitic for me or any other member
of the court to discuss the subject of
IA slate OF county hospital officers
Mr. Kemp denies that he was invited
Ito Mr. Knowles office. Il am not in
for any slate" he said; therefore will
not meet any members Of the Trustees
of the Poor to discuss such a thing. Our
Officers will be elected at the meeting
of the trustees on Wednesday"
Notwithstanding Mr. Chambers
statement Mr.. Knowles this afternoon
denied that he had invited the mem
bors of the Levy ourt or the trustees
Evening journal., 1902-02-24
A GRACEFuL WRITER

The Sentinel, printed on the banks of
the St. Jones. is said to be edited by
one c. r. Layton, politician, Addicks
man. gas director and secretary Of
State. In fact this erudite statesman
once admitted to the editor
of the Evening Journal that he
contributed to the editorial columns
OF that paper We wondered at the
temerity displayed in the admission,
although we secretly extend our sym
pathy to the Sentinel. In fact we could
see no reason for boasting on either
side
We gather from the latest convulsion
.of the sheet on the bank of the turged
ST. Jones, that we printed a news ar
ticle last week which gave it much
pain. and caused it's heart to palpltate
wildly in its trousers pocket. The
language of the rebuke suggests a de-
sire to demonstrate with us, rather than
to descend to personalities. It's origi-
nality Is remarkable and is truly lay
ltonian. The word Annlas is used once,
and liar four times, which suggests
that the writer was more familiar with
the latter than with the former. It
is a reminder of the denial Of one, that
he declared that Addicks must have
certain legislators, even though he had
10 buy, beg. borrow or steal them. 3"
But we should be unjust to the writer's
style should we stop here his claim
to fame must not be diminished a whit.
The chaste little utterance. an etching
in prose. as 1t were, contains such
words as 'mendacity, and "scoundrel, %
and we are reioiced to observe the
grace and ease with which the eplthets
"hlthy." malicious, and "unwarrant-
ed" are applied.
Now at first blush we are disposed
to say that such effusions are common
TO the crossroads journals of Ken
lucky or Arizona but this would be
an injustice to the scholarly editor on
the ST. Jones. His styles is inimitable
and is due partly to native talent, and
partly to cultivation. The years spent
lin expounding questions OF civic
duty to bar-room loafers has not been
in vain He has cultivated certain as
sociates who have escaped the tender
care of the sheriff. in order to cultivat,
their style. Those long hours in pol
ishinE a goods box were not in vain
and the result is a diction which woul,
have made Old Bailey proud, w
would check It not; it is unique in on
lannals. and together with Addicks
constitutes our pride.
Evening journal., 1902-02-24

to his office to discuss the almshouse
appointments.
From these statements it would ap-
pear THAT Mr.. Knowles conference may
prove somewhat of a frost
James II. Polk is one member of the
new board who is opposed to deals, etc.
He said this morning that he had heard
Of desired combinations, but declared
that he was not party to any. Il
intend to enter the board with clean
hands," he said and to vote for only
the best men for the offices"
The condition of affairs places
Levy Courtman Megginson in a pecu-
liar light The Foster people say that
he pledged Giis trustee appointments in
their favor and that he has a signed
agreement to that effect.
The friends of b. Frank Blackburn
say that it was at Mr.. Megginson' 8
suggestion that their man became a
candidate and that to them he still
claims loyalty.
Megginson and Foster were oppon-
ents at the nomination for Levy Court
and the fight developed into persOnali-
ties between them Blackburn supported
him all the support he could give
and helped him with his petition until
a few weeks ago, when it is said for
mer Sheriff Taylor persuaded him to
patch up a truce and use his influence
in the interest of his former opponent
Foster, which he is now said to be do
ing, and still giving Blackburn encour-
agement
1t Is known that Mr. Megginson
endeavored to have trustee DR.. Henry
pledge his vote for Foster, but this he
refused to do.
The strong endorsement the Doc
tor had could not be ignored, and he
was appointed. DR.. Henry remarked
on the day the appointment was made
that he did not know If he would be
reaDpointed because Mr.. Megginson
wished him to pledge his vote for Fos-
ter. which he could not conscientiously
do.
Megginson Couldn't be Seen
AS Mr.. Megginson was not in the city
today, he could not explain his peculiar
position in the fight
The Regular Republicans of the
county cannot understand the motive
in this game Of double on the part of
LOW Cuullludn MtBBluSOn, especially
his playing into the hands Of the Ad-
dicksites in favor of one who has de-
nounced him in his own bailwick
Fosters friends make no secret OF
the claim that they have five votes
which were pledged to him before the
trustees were appointed They say
that DR.. Henry signed the agreement
in the presence of two witnesses at the
Court House on the Tuesday the ap-
pointments were made.
McFarlin was appointed-as he
says-tO vote for Foster No one
knew that McFarlin was a candidate
for trustee-unless it was Foster and
Taylor.
