THE BLACKTHORN. -

Irish comedy of the kind that the new taste for better things in this line has forced on the theatrical market will be offered at POli's on Monday evening, when Joseph J. Sullivan will appear in The Blackthorn." Since the agita- ton has been sending up the grade of Irish comedy there. have been signs of a return to the quality of Irish drama furnished in the past by John Broug- ham Dion Boucicault, Barney Will liams and other eminent players. .sThe Black thorne,' it is claimed, is in that line, offering a truthful and real pie trre of Irish life. Realism is introduced by means of such features as the jaunt- ing car and donkey, making the play thoroughly true to life. Prices are popular and seats are now on sale.

ENGLISH CLOTH.
A Tailor Tells Why He Prefers 1t tc

 A tailor was discussing the superi- ority of English to American cloth. This superiority, say what we please to the contrary. does, he declared, lex ist, especially in trouserings- those fabrics, as strong as a board and as soft as silk, for which we don't hesi- tate to pay $8 yard. English trous- erings are better than ours for the same reason that Bavarian beer is bet ter than ours; they undergo an ageing process which we don't use because we want to do things quickly, because we. fast. The wool used in these fabrics has aged three, four and sometimes even five years. A manufacturing firm buys 1t, washes it, and stores it in wefl-lighted and dry warehouses for. six months. Then it is taken out and washed again, afterward being re- turned to it's storage rooms for another half year, and so on the process goes on until the wool has been freed from all life and from all impurity. This wool weaves into cloth that is strong without being harsh cloth that Is at once thick and firm and soft and that won't shrink. We could make in America just such cloth; we have the skill, and We have the machinery and the materials; but we are not willing in this country to lock money up for three or four years, and that is what must be done in the making up for. best fabrics 7 Phila delphia Record,

James O'Neill will open his season at the Colonial theater, Bridgeport on Monday, November g. His press agent says he will be in Waterbury November 12.

4 COMPROMISE ON STATEHOOD

to prolong the debate on this measure.
At the same time senators served no.
tice yesterday upon those who are
pressing the treaty that Senator Nor
gan should have full opportunity to
present his views and amendments to
the treaty in and orderly manner and
without undue pressure. Senators
Teller, Dubois and Rawlins were es-
pecially emphatic when making these
declarations, saying that even if the
treaty had to go over until after
March 4, the Alabama senator should
not be subjected to undue pressure
and strain.
Conference Of Republicans.
The republican leaders conferred
all day on the subject of the state
hood compromise, and most of the
democrats were informed of the gen.
eral terms of the proposition. To all
questions as to whether they would
accept such a compromise they said
they wanted to see a definite PROPOSE
ton, and to know from whom it came,
then they would be in a position to
confer and decide. On the republican
side it is found that two republican
senators, Beveridge and Nelson, both
members of the committee on terri
tories are very loath to accept any
compromise save that which the ma
jority originally presented. Their po-
sition is that the omnibus bill is de-
feated, and that Senator Quay, who
has been so persistently pressing it.
has lost strength by his course in
supporting Senator Morgan during the
latter's fight against the canal treaty.
Senator Spooner reported to his col.
leagues that there was no legal diff.
f1culty in the way of admitting Okla
homa and afterward attaching the In
dian Territory to the state. In this
same connection there is a proposition
to have included in the legislation q

SHOT DOWN
ON STREET
PROMINENT MAN OF RALEIGH, N.
c., KILLS ANOTHER.
Affair Said to Have Grown Out Of
Secret Marriage in One
of Families.

Charlotte, N. c., Feb. pa special
to the Observer from Raleigh, N. c.,
says: At 4:20 o'clock yesterday after
DON when on Fayetteville street,
Ernest Haywood shot and killed Lud-
low Skinner. Haywood is a grandson
of the late state treasurer, John Hay
wood, and one of Raleigh's leading
lawyers. Skinner was a grandson OF
the late DR.. Ludlow of New York and
a son of Rev. DR.. Thomas E. Skinner
of Raleigh.

the shooting. Skinner fell upon his
face on the car tracks not 40 yards.
from the court house.
Haywood was taken by Deputy
Sheriff Spark to Haywood's office and
later taken to the court house, where
Magistrate Maroon, after a prelim-
mary hearing, committed him to Jail
for murder.
SINNERS wife is a daughter OF the
late Major John Winder. The rumor
here is that the tragedy grew out of
a reported secret marriage in the
family of one of the men concerned.
Haywood, who is now in Jail. has
made no statement. The testimony at
the preliminary, hearing before Justice
Maroon developed that earlier in the
day Skinner had called at Haywood's
office. What occurred there is not
known. When he came out he start
ed for the p%ostofice. In the mean
time Haywood went to the court
house. AS he returned and was near
the middle steps of the postofice ne
saw Skinner on the sidewalk and call
ed him, saying: Ludlow, some here,
| want to speak to you"
AS Skinner approached Haywood
fired point blank at him. He missed
and Skinner turned and ran. When
Skinner reached the car tracks Hay
wood fired again and Skinner sank
to the ground and died within a few
minutes.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The state
hood compromise, which is expected to
unlock the present tangle in the SEN
ate and remove the blockade, pro-
poses to admit two states, n to be
Oklahoma, according to it's present
boundaries, with a proviso that Indian
Territory shall be added to Oklahoma
in 1906, when the treaty obligations
with the Indians will not be in the
way. The other state is to be COM
posed of New Mexico and Arizona,
under the name of Mon+ezuma, with a
proviso that when the present terri
tory of Arizona has a population Of
300, 900 people it shall become a sep
arate state, providing that the people
of the territory affected vote in favor
of being divided from New Mexico.
Senator Spooner has been %intrusted
with the legal questions involved,
especially in regard to the rights of
Indian tribes in Indian Territory. He
has been in consultation with the at
torney general and other law officials
of the government familiar with the
subject, and the bill when drawn will
be based on information which Sen
ator Spooner obtains.
Doubt About Democrats.
While this compromise will be &C.
ceptable to the republicans, there is
yet considerable doubt about the dem
ocrats, and so far as can be learned
they will oppose it with vigor, which
means defeat at this stage of the
session. 1t has been suggested that
when the compromise plan is formu.
lated the democrats may hold a con-
ference, and if a majority should
agree to accept the bill the minority
will yield. However, this is only con-
jectural, but the men who are man.
