WILL NOT STAND FOR RE-
ELECTION.

Judge A. w. Young having
served the Kentucky Democracy
we'll and faithfully declines to stand
for reelection to the high posi-
ton OF Chairman of the State Cen
trail and Executive Committees
In making a public statement for
the first time Judge Young is
plain and unmistakeable in his
declarations to the people. He
has never desired to be wilful and
domineering. He has always
wanted Democracy to act Demo
cratically, allowing majorities to
rule. To restore harmony in the
Democratic party has been his
oneness Of purpose. Under his
leadership the party pulled itself
together, and in our last State
election we can estimate results.
He is aggressive, Is unwilling TO
yield any point when ne knows its
maintenance bring good results to
the greatest number.

BEN HUR
THE eRANDEsr SPECTACLE
OF THE CENTURY IS TO BE
STAGED IN WHEELING. VIVA.

Klaw & Changers massiyely ornate
spectacle, 'Ben-Hur," is to be staged At
the Court Theatre, Wheeling, W. Va, for
the week beginning Monday evening,
March 7. The engagement which will
include special matinees on Wednesday
and Saturday, will close Saturday even
ing, March l2.
The dramotization of General Lew
Wallaces great novel has long been seen
very little outside Of New York. Will
liam Young, who made the dramatiza.
ton, succeeded most admirably in the
production of drama, which not only
retains the most absolute fidelity to
General Wallace's great book, but which
does not offend the most devout Chris
tian. Professor Edgar Stillman Kelley
has heightened the solemnity of "Ben-
Hur" with music that is a positive de.
light to the ear. The stage settings
provided by Klaw & Erlinger have never
been equalled in this country. The pic
lures of "The Star of Bethlehem" 'The
City of Jerusalem, from the Gallery"
"The Grove of Daphne" "The Fountain
of Castalia," 'sThe Chariot Race" ''The
Vale of Hinnon" and ''The Mount of
Olives" are remarkable exhibits OF the
best scenic art. To these are added
some wonderful effects in lighting, as
in the star of Betnlehem," and in
stage mechanics, as shown in the thrill
ing chariot race. The contrivances that
go to make up the chariot race cost more
than $4,000. Eight horses run in full
view of the audience,
The great scene which closes the play
is the healing of the lepers on Mount
Olives. Here hundreds of people are ar.
ranged nj picturesque groupings, the
whole forming one of the most lbeauti-
full pictures ever put upon the stage. The
personality of the Nazarene is not shown
in the play, but in this scene the near.
ness of His presence is indicated with
the most intense impressiyeness by q
shaft of the purest white light. The
dramatization is carefully constructed SC
as to remove it from the domain of the
so-oalled Passion plays, and while the
Savior is only referred to, His tremend
Gus dominating power is felt with thrill
ing effect.

Hur" engagement will open in Wheeling

HONEST AND

Chief Charms of 4ouincy Adams
Sawyer" Which Comes Here
on March 10.

A prominent American dramatic critic
concluded recent play review with
this sentence: "If wholesome, honest.
cleanly play that alienates pathos and
laughter with gatling gun rapidly is
what theatre-goers want they will go
to see Quincy Adams Sawyer and it
is quite evident they are going.'
In these few words he summed UP the
facts and the reasons therefore thd ep-

play that for three years has been tour.

houses everywhere. The great masses OF
the people want their drama to be
wholesome and cleanly; they leave the
highly seasoned dramatic pablum to the
so-called society epicures. They wont
mo problems" no suggestive DISGUISE,
tions upon topics that, outside of the
theatre, are not discussed in public.
Quincy Adams Sawyer gives them
m honest story of wholesome people
told brightly and with great human in
terest. The pathos is of the decent sort
and is never obtrusive. The fun, while
fast and furious, is always clean. In
addition the play is given the most COM
plete and elaborate production possible
to the modern stage. The company has
been selected with special reference TO
the fitness of the players for the work
they are to- perform and the ensemble
shows that completeness which is wei.
coined by theatre goers. When the play
is seen here at the Traders Grand Opera
House, on March 10, 1904, the proof OF
all these statements will be SO self.evi,
lent as to be indisputable.

The origin of s.archins.

The course of history carries US back
no further than the year 1864 for the
origin of starching in London. 1t was
in that year that Mistress Van der
Plasse came with her husband from
Flanders to the English metropolis "for
their greater safety" and there pro-
fessed herself starcher. The best
housewives OF the time were not long
in discovering the excellent wilderness
OF the "Dutch linen" as 1t was called,
and Mistress Plasse soon had plenty of
good paying clients. Some of these be.
