Another Tramp-character play
At the Opera House Last Night.
'SsSSSSsSSSsSSSSS6S5S $50 SSSS'

The tramp character was the whole
show. Miss Zoe Matthews, the come
dlenne, came as close second in that re-
spect. and little Eddie Burns, the boy
tenor singer, got most of the applause.
One of the men in the play, or plot, or
whatever you may can it, was either
new man at the business or he forgot
his lines. Some one out in the splat
tered.up side wings prompted him
throughout his little turn. Then one
of the principal characters in the first
part Of the play was missing. They
gave the old transforming excuse about
his being taken tick at the last stand
The opera house was fairly wei filled
list night. The majority of the people
present were dissatisfied with the per
torrance, while the others were seem.
ingly satisfied in having the old tramp
character play brought back to then
again. 1t was a sort OF a retrospectiOu
You could almost recall the scenes o.
your bOyhOOd days when listening to thu
songs.

The same old tramp character com
edy drama was seen last night at the
Traders Grand opera house in the pre-
sentation Of Weary Willie Walker"
The play was on the order of all the
other tramp comedies that have shown
in the opera house here for the past six
or seven years. The same plot-if it
can be said there is any plots used;
the villain kills three or four persons,
throws a clue down by the side of the
dead bodies, the tramp gets the clue,
and they all come up smiling in the
last act, the tramp in good clothes, the
villain in a bad nix and the hero the
master OF the situation. The same bad
brother, the same stage settings, and
worst Of all, the same old ehestnuts that
have been sprung from the opera house
stage since we were all little boys, were
N evidence. And the same old eolIec'
ton of sonss-"Pm So Tired" etc, etc
the same old ditties We have listened tc
since Grover Cleveland ran for the pres
idency the first time.

Charles Anderson and Mis- Gladys VIII
cox, young people residing at Wyatt,
this county, eloped Sunday and went to
oakland, where they were married Mon
day morning.
The elopement was neatly planned. It
was arranged for a hack to come from
Warrington early Sunday morning for
them, and they, with two friends, slip
ped quietly away, unsuspected, by the
old people concerned. They drove rap
idly to Warrington, where they all
boarded train eastbomd and, in q
few hours. they were in Oakland, but
the laws of Maryland are such that the
county clerk will not issue license on
Sunday. but he is so obEging that he
will get up early Monday morning to
accommodate love-sick couples, whether
Cupid's darts have pierced their hearts
once or a dozen times. They waited I'M
til morning, and then the knot was tied,
which is to bring them bliss or misery

PRAISE FOR CUBA.
Island Is Prosperous and the Govern
ment SUCCESSFUL.

The Denver Republican prints an in
teresting interview with James w.
Fairview, a Californian who has spent
the last two years in Cuba, where he
owns several sugar plantations. Mr..
Fairview said:
IF Cuba is ever annexed to the
United States. and l think the island
will be in the course of few years,
it will not be due to the failure of the
Cuban government, but because Amer
leans control the island.
I'm the matter of self-government
the Cubans have made great success,
likewise from the standpoint of finan-
ces. In matters sanitary. they are all
right-in fact they have made sue
cess of every form of government"
continued the speaker. Considering the
conditions at the outbreak Of the
Spanish War-nothing short of slav-
ery-they have made greater strides
since than many southern states did
in the twenty years after the Civil
War, and in saying that l do not cast
any reflections on our southern states
To-day the Cubans are freer from
poverty and sQualor than are many
sections of the South, and as for the
race question, why. it is comparative
ly unknown. The Spaniards and Gu
bans mingle as though they were Of one
flesh and blood.
But with all this progress, the con-
troll of the island is now practically in
the hands of the Americans. The steam
railroads. the electric lines, the tobac-
CO and sugar plantations. the fruit
farms-are all owned by Americans.
Many of the latter are also establish
