Heroism and 1nanliness is applauded everywhere and if found in the younger generation it is all the more acceptable. In the play, "A Boy of the Streets" :" which was presented at the Grand opera house last night for the first time in this city, the author, Charles II. Vincent, has woven about Jimmy Bailey" the young hero, a series of cir cumstances that make the audience wildly enthusiastic. The lad appears on the scene at critical moments and by his quick wit and daring saves his friends and families from the treachery and violence of interruptions and de- signnig men.
 In the character of a.Iimmy'' young Augustin Daly Wilkes will carefully take for himself d name which will shine for time to come in the Armament of bright youthful actors. The charac- ter is that of the ragged urchin who Is knocked about by diversity and com- pelled through the treachery of his fa- ther's supposed friend to become a bread winner and assist in the support Of his family. The role is one which appeals to the inmost nature of all who witness the production and the story told presents a true phase of American life among the poor of a great city.
 The company in it's entirety is a good one and there is an abudance of humor and bit of love making which keeps things going at a lively pace and make all feel good natured. The scenic ef- fects are good and the specialties in troduced of the best and last night were splendidly received.
 For an evening of rare enjoyment and an edifying one, don't fail to see "A Boy of the Streets" at the Grand to- night, tomorrow night or Saturday matinee. &

Good Gray Senator From Connecticut
 and the Cuban Question.
 Washington, Nov. 19.--The Wash ington Star has the following to say about Senator Platt: Senator Platt of Connecticut, who, underneath an austere demeanor, hides whole lot of dry humor, was asked to-day when, in his opinion, the Senate would pass the Cuban reciprocity bill. He pondered a few moments and then as soleinnly as could be he inquired: "How much is a horse worth?"
 The opinion among leading senators seems to be that there will not be much real opposition to the Cuban bill when it gets to the Senate. Still, there will be considerable discussion of the bill, and it will probably not pass much before the regular session is about to commence, December z.

MORE HEAT VICTIMS
The Temperature Went to 100
Again Today.
Them Is Serious.

The heat has been very oppressive
today, the lowest degree last night
being 76, and the highest mp to 2
O'Clock this afternoon 100 in the
shade. Observer Bornemann thinks
the maximum will be l0l for today.
The heat has apparently been more
effective than since the hot wave first
swept over this section of the country
several days ago. A great deal of sick.
ness is attributed directly to the hot
weather, while a number of people
have been overcome by the heat and
for . time were very i'll.
One heat prostration was reported
today and two late yesterday.
Mr. |. Nauheim was overcome to-
day at noon at his place of bu.iness
on North Second street. L. was some
time before he recovered sufficiently
to be carried to his home on Jefferson
street near Eighth.
Mrs. Pat LalIy was Frustrated yes

Mr.. John Brooks was overcome yes.

OUR CONVENTION TOMORROW.


Republicans from ell over the coun.
ty who feel an interest in their party
and in the welfare Of their state should
turn out tomorrow afternoon and vote
for what they think may bring the
pest results to the greatest number Of
people in the state. The Republicans
enjoy every prospect of an easy vic
tory in November. and for this reason
should not jeopardize their chances by
missing the opportunity to put out the
best possible men.
The good, loyal Republicans of the
state will indorse and support the
nominees of the party, no matter
whether their individual choice or not,
and put forth every effort to elect
them, and it makes little difference
what the few other kind of Republi-
cans do. The Sun is for whoever the
Republicans nominate. 1t is to be
hoped that the Republicans of Nc
Cracker county, however, and of
every other county in the state, will
send their delegations instructed and
run no risk of having them used for or
against some candidate or candidates
who possibly may be opposed or
favored by the voters. Instruct the
delegates and, no matter how unscru-
pulous, they will hardly dare to vote
contrary to the instructions of those
who sent them.
Another thing that should make
tomorrow's county convention Of I'M
usual interest to the people Of this
county is that a candidate for the |
legislature is to be nominated. II has |
long been matter of great moment to
the thoughtful people of the state
what oarelessness and Indifference are
displayed, as a rule, in selecting men
for seats in the legislature.
The lawmaking power OF the state
exerts perhaps the greatest authority
for good or evil of any branch of gov
eminent. 1t is within its province to
either through ignorance or chicanery
Danish progress or close the doors OF
the state to prosperity, and in past
years in many instances it has done it
to q greater extent than advisable or
necessary. We need good men-bst-
ter men-to be frank, In the legisla-
ture. and no one but the voters Of the
state can put them there. u thsy
vote for narrow, ignorant or fausti-
cal man they are voting against their
own business interests and those OF
their fsmilies, friends and neighbors.
II il hoped the Republicans will select
. good man to make the race for the
Legislature in McCracken county and
one who will be regarded by the peo-
pie as worthy of their support, and
who will get 1t. We need good men
in the legislature and citizens with
the welfare Of their state and the peo'
ple Ut heart should see that we get
them, even IL politics has to 10 sacri'
iiced in order to do it.
