This was the signal for the conven-
ton to rise, and the New York del
egation was conspicuous, each of its
members waving an American flag.
Ex-Governor Black of New York
nominated Theodore Roosevelt for
president. Like the crash of thunder
that follows the lightning, the enthusi-
asm began. Flags were in the air,
hats were thrown up, men jumped
onto their chairs, women stood and
shouted. So mighty was the volume
of sound that nothing definite in the
way of articulate sound was distin-
| guishable.
Senator Dolliver of Iowa delivered
the nominating speech in favor of
Senator Fairbanks. The first men
ton of Senator Fairbanks name was
the signal for cheers, which were re-
newed when he formally presented
the name of the Indiana senator
When the applause subsidized, Mr.. Can
non recognized Senator Depew, who
made a characteristic speech.
Cannon the Central Figure.
Because Speaker joseph G. Can
non was the central figure, the pro-
ceedings of the national republican
convention took on a picturesQuenes
and demonstrativeness.
Live party enthusiasm, aroused by
the hearty reception given Uncle
Joe" Cannon, as he is known from
coast to coast, spread even to the
routine business. From the moment
he was escorted to the platform to
WELD the gavel as the permanent
chairman the entire atmosphere of
the convention changed. Enthusiasm,
which had lain dormant, burst forth
and the applause rang true and hear
ty- He made a speech and the audi
ence cheered as he spoke jocularly
or in serious vein. He was the
entertainer; in fact, he was the con-
vention.
Speaker Cannon's oratory was de-
cidedly to the liking of the conven-
ton. He established cordial relations
He was pausing to think how to be-
gin. His thoughts were pictured on
his face. They were pleasant; they
were inspiring. Instinctively he drew
himself up and Enthusiastically
raised his hand for a gesture even
before he spoke. Then came a de-
lightfully refreshing and humorously
frank avowal Each of the thousands
OF listeners received a confidential
tip. The speaker had written his first
speech and had tried to memorize it.
But ne dld not nave the slightest in
tention of trying to follow it. He
knew the inspiration would come
that had come-and he just wanted
free hand to cut loose. $50, let us
ramble awhile" That is what he
said. And then he abandoned him
self to his limitless store of pro-
found political sagacity and his orig
inal and characteristic vocabulary.
Throughout his address the cheering
was generous, intelligent and appreci-

ANNA HELD NEXT WEEK.

Anna Held in Jean Richepin's French
vaudeville, "Mam'selIe Napoleon" will
be seen at the Metropolitan opera
house next week beginning Sunday
night, and 1T is promised that the pro-
duction which is made by F. Ziegfeld
Jr. will be the most elaborate of the
year; an artistic phenomenon is prom
ised for this premiere. The play, as it
will be presented by Miss Held, was
adapted by Joseph w. Herbert and
Gustav Luders provided the score.
The scene of the play is laid in
France during the most brilliant period
of the NapOleOnic regime, the character
assumed by Miss Held being that of
the emperor's favorite actress, Mile
Mars. The play is in three acts and
five tableaux and has no fewer than
forty -four speaking or singing parts,
to say nothing Of a chorus of over 100
persons.
The first act shows the green room
of the Coincide Franchise in 1909,
which serves at the same time as a
dressing room for Mile. Mars.
The second act takes place on the
lake at Compeigne, Napoleon's sum-
mer residence. The stage represents
In moonlight, and with the chateau IL
Illuminated for an imperial fete in the
background.
The second scene shows the historic
Return from Elba," with the emperor
and his staff on horseback at the head
of a battalion of Grenadier guards.

"WINSOME WINNIE" AT THE
METROPOLITAN.

In ''Winsome Winnie," the romantic
musical comedy which comes to the
Metropolitan tomorrow night for the
first time. Miss Paula Edwardes has
found, it is said, a delightful vehicle
for her talents.
Of the making of musical comedies
there seems to be no end, but Win
some Winnie" is not as other musical
comedies. 1t is in reality light, ro-
mantle opera, brought UP to date by
the chief accessories of singable mu-
sic, lots of pretty women, quick action,
dainty costumes and fetching dances.
But it has a really intelligent plot,
which holds the audience from the rise
to fall of the curtain and involves the
principal figure, Winsome Winnie,
played by Paula Edwardes. In a series
of romantic adventures.
Winsome Winnie is an American
soubrette. who is stranded in Medi-
give a snake charming act to secure
funds. She is seen by an American
heireSS who DESIRES for the time at
least, to exchange identity with some
body else. Miss Winnie accepts the
role and makes merry with 1t for two
hours, during which she sings, dances
and conVulseS the audience by her
mirthful antics.
Associated with Miss Edwardes are
some sterling singers, notably Madison
Smith, of Under the Shade of the
Sheltering Palms" fame; Joseph c.
Miron,, a baSSo with a strong comedy
instinct; Alexander Clark, the. eccen-
trio comedian recently seen with The
Runaways; William E. Philip, the ro-.
mantle tenor, long associated with the
Bostonians; Miss Evelyn Carter, late
of ''F1orodora;'' Miss Isobel Hall, one
of the most pleasing mezzo-sopranos
on the stage, and a double Quartette
of male singers who are scoring one
of the hits of the production.
Among the song numbers which win
from three to six encores nightly are.
1.-THE Tickle Rosebud" sung by Miss
Rohde and Mr.. Philip, with the help of
a hidden chorus; They're Looking for
Me-" by Miss EdWardes: TN the Good
Old Days" by Miss Carter, Miss Miron
and Mr.. Philip; Maiden, in Thy Eyes"
by the male octette; "The Montene-
grin Patrol Mr.. Joseph c. Miron and
chorus, and "Winsome Winnie" Mr..
Madison Smith, in which he bids fair
to make as fine a record as in the pop
ular 'Florodora'' number. To this
singing cast Managers Sam S. Shu-
bert and Nixon & Zimmerman have
added a convincing coterie--of come
dams, including Alexander Clark and
Budd Ross. Stately and beautiful
women make UP the SHOW line" while
the regulation chorus consists of
girls who can both sing and dance
The scenic investiture is rich, the
costunling lavish, and to this add the
pleasing fact that the book and music
are by Paulton and Jakobowski, au-
thorssof "Erminie," and the most fas-
tidious music lover may expect to be
both pleased and amused. "Winsome
Winnie" was highly praised by the
New York critics during the long run"
at the Casino theater.

new act here, which might be called a
sequel to the famous Georgia Min
strels." It is entitled "Dr. Breaka-
bone" The new act opens in an in
telligence office, where members of the
stranded Georgia Minstrels,' apply for
work. They finally land in hospital
where all kinds of Mcintyre and Heath
fun is given an opportunity.
The strength Of the Mcintyre and
Heath fun is that it is original, though
1t is based on many things that were
given on the stage thirty years ago.
This new act was played In a minstrel
olio forty years ago, but these two
burnt cork artists have polished 1t up
with so much new business that it
would never be recognized as the same
act even by the old timers.

oRPHEuM SHOW AT THE GRAND.

The Orpheum show, a vaudeville bill
of fun, music and novelties will be
the attraction at the Grand this week
This company, under the direction
of Martin Beck, general manager of
the Orpheum Circuit company, is COM
posed of an array of vaudeville talent
rarely ever presented In single BILL
Each act stands upon it's own merits
entirely, depending nothing upon the
preceding number, or the one that fol-
lows, for its own success. To say that
Mcintyre and Heath are featured with
the Orpheum show tells a longer story
to the average seeker after good en-
tertainment than could be told in all
the glowing adjectives of press
agent. These clever veteran perform
ers are too we'll known to American
audiences to need an Introduction. In
addition to their Georgia Minstrels."
Mcintyre and Heath have some new
acts, one of which will probably be
put on during the engagement here.
One is satirical bit of quaint negro
fun called "Dr. LorenZ- breakbone.'
Elizabeth Murray, the dashing sing
ing and talking Coincidence, she of the
pretty face, figure and gowns, is also
a member of the big company. She
will appear in original songs and sto-
ries. Merian's dogs is an act import
ed from Europe for the Orpheum show
engagement this season. The act is
said to be a decided departure from
the conyential, in that the dogs do not
perform any of the ordinary tricks.
The dogs play an entire comedy drama
In pantomime, each canine carrying
his character part through the play
without any prompting from its mas
ter.

TWELFTH NIGHT" AT THE MET
e. ROPoLlTAN.

Drama is educational pleasure and
no playwright has succeeded in so
combining the two as the immortal
Shakespeare. In Twelfth Night"
which Marie Wainwright will present
here tomorrow night at the Metropol-
itan, every form of dramatic excellence
is to be found. Sensation in the form
of a terrific storm at sea, a shipwreck
and the saving of Viola and Sebas-
tian; romance in the love story of
Orsino and Viola; laughter compelling
farce in the scenes of Maria, Sir Toby
Belch and Sir Andrew Ague- cheek;
pathOs in the self-abnegatfon of the
heroine, and applause compelling he
roles in the strongly dramatic situa-
lions.
Miss Marie Wainwright is the rec
ognized exponent of Viola in Twelfth
Night" She has run the gamut of the
Bard's 5heroines and has proved herself
to be an artistic of fine attainments. In
the, whole wide range none Is better
suited to her delicate skill of imper-
sonation than the pretty page who,
disguised in hose and doublet, first
captivated the heart of the beautiful
Olivia, and, when she unmasks her
self, is eagerly led to the altar by the
powerful Duke of Illyria. Miss VAIN
wright's dainty Interpretation of Viola
diScloSeS Its beauty to the senses with
sympathetic touch. The sea coast
scene where Viola and her brother suf-
fer, the wreck that parts them for the
romantic meeting at the end of the
comedy is said to be a marvel of ma
rine beauty, and no ardent lover could
dream of more ideal trysting place
than Olivia's moonlit garden.

THE STAR.

The attraction at the Star this week

lesque offering, entitled "A Night on
Broadway" Novelty and originality
are the virtues claimed for the enter
tainment.' The musical numbers are

Humorous episodes resulting from
the efforts of Henry Fielder, the Ger
man candy manufacturer and politi-
clan, to cover up the trail of carmine he
had left in Broadway one night while
his wife was out of the city on visit,
form the theme of the plot.

MCINTYRE AND HEATH.

In the land of Dixie Mcintyre and
Heath, who will be at the Grand this

hands.
They have been inseparable since.
That was in the days Of the old, old
minstrelsy, and the two men were
playing in San Antonio, Tex, before
railroads were running in that town.
These two men, themselves, do not

His Hamlet, for all it's memory Of

PANIC At 4 FACTORY FIRE
Police Rescue Women From Burning
Pepper Tobacco Factory.
Big Blaze Did $15O,OOO Damage NJ
Main and Morgan Streets Fri-
day Afternoon.

st. Louis, Sept. 24.-Fire broke out
in the Christian PEPPER Tobacco Co.'S
factory at Main and Morgan streets
a few minutes after two o'clock Friday
afternoon.
A general alarm was turneu In as
soon as the first companies reached
the scene, and found that the situation
was beyond their control.
Every f1re company in the downtown
district was hurried to the fire. The
fire spread rapidly, having gained con-
siderable Roadway before being dis
covered. Clouds of smoke and long
tongues of flame shot from the win
dows of the upper stories.
The fire started in the drying room
on the sixth floor. On this floor 20
men and two girls were employed.
The men managed to make their es-
a p unaided. The girls were rescued
by. the firemen who first reached the
scene.
Forty girls were carried from the
fifth floor by rescuers. Among those
who assisted them to the ground were
Patrolmen Dockery, Fox and Morris.
The entire block between Lucas ave
avenue and Morgan street, facing on
First street. is occupied by the two
six-story buildings of the Christian
PEPPER Tobacco Co., the old building be-
ing located on the north side, and the
new one occupying the southern end of
the block.
The roof of the old building caved
in shortly after the fire started, and
caused a scattering of the great crowd
that had gathered about to witness the
firemen'S battle with the flames.
The fire is said to have started by
the pipes of the dryer, which is located
On the top floor Of the building, be-
coming too hot and Setting fire TO the
woodwork.
In the building was tobacco, which
is valued at $1,000 0 the most of it is
already manufactured. Secretary
Schultz stated that they can sell this
for about half, while the manufactured
tobacco will probably be lost.
The damage to building, machinery
and tobacco will reach about $150,000.
The water soaked everything in the
building from to cellar.
