Damon and PythlaS.

The above romantic classic play was
presented last Tuesday evening at the
Opera House TO not a large audience,
which fact is not regretted by the
management Of the house, since the
performance proved so entirely unsuc-
cessful. 1t is but due the company,
however, that we say Damon's part
was attempted by raw recruit who
had not had the time to commit the
lines, and his fumbling and per-
picking groupings were in great measure
the cause Of the Others failure to mea-
sure up to the average troupe Of actors.

Express Charges.

Editor Hcrdld:-I am out Of reach Of
the law on the subject, and therefore
ask your aid. If am correct there is
a law in Virginia requiring the express
companies doing business in the State
to carry anywhere within the borders
Of the State so pounds for 50 cents. Re-
Gently 80 cents were exacted Of me, and
want to know what my redress is. 1
know Of this case too: One shipper
was made to pay 50 cents on a gallon
and half Of oysters while another was
required to pay only IS cents.
This is all wrong and there must be
some safeguard againstit.

CURRENT EVENTS.
Senator Quay Dead.

Matthew Stanley Quay was born in
Dillsburg, York county, Pa, Sept, 30,
1888. His father was a presbyterian
clergyman, who was his sons tutor in
the rudimentary portions of his educa-
ton. Young Quay was graduated from
Jefferson college at the age of IS, and
cyan to study law at Pittsburg. Tir-
ing of this, he began a life of adventure
which led him to Louisiana and Texas,
where he taught school. Subsequently
returning to his fathers home at
Beaver, Pa, and completing his law
studies, he was admitted to the bar in
1854. His first vote was cast for the
nominees of the prohibition party, and
his first public Office was that of pro-
thonotary of Beaver county, from 1856
to 1861, when he enlisted III the army.
He was made colonel of the One Hun
dred and Thirty-fourth Pennsylvania
infantry soon after his enlistment, and
won a congressional medal for con-
spicuous gallantry in the field. He had
resigned his command on account of i'll
health and the letter accepting his resig-
nation arrived on the eve of the battle
of Fredericksburg. Comrades had
placed with him about $4,000 to take
to their homes, but he offered his SER
vices as aide, went into the battle,
though forced to ride a FESTIVE horse
unused to service.
Returning to Harrisburg, he reentered
the political arena, being elected to the
Pennsylvania legislature in 1864, serv-
ing one term. He was secretary of the
commonwealth, 1S72-1S7S; recorder of
the city of Philadelphia and secretary
of the republican state committee, 1873
1879; again secretary of the common
wealth, 1S79-1S82; was delegate to the
republican national convention of 1872,
1876 and 1880; elected state treasurer in
1885; was elected a member Of the
republican national committee and was
chosen chairman thereof and ex-officio
chairman of the executive committee
when the committee organized in 1888,
and conducted the successful presiden-
tial campaign of hat year; was a dele
gate to the republican national conven-
tons of 1892, 1896 and 1900; was elected
United States senator, taking his seat
March 4, 1877, serving two terms; was
defeated by a deadlock in 1899, but was
appointed by the governor to fill the
vacancy, though the senate failed to
recognize the validity of the appoint
ment; was again elected to the senate
in January, 1901, serving until his
death, May %, 1904.
His career as a political general and
''boss' has been a remarkable and sue
cessful one, and while his enemies have
charged him with resorting to question
able methods, they have been compelled
to recognize and respect his courage and
acumen. His supremacy in Pennsyl-
vania, as head of the republican
machine, has several times been dis
puted, and fights have been made ON
him by John Wanamaker aad others.
But Quay invariably contrived to rout
his enemies and keep his place in the
saddle. He entered politics as the
lieutenant of the famous Simon Cam
eron, and later furnished the brains of
the power yielded by his son, Senator
Don Cameron. His junior colleague,
Senator Boies Penrose, has been trained
to succeed him.

Are Beaten at Their Own Game

Nearly 700 real estate agents in differ
ent parts of the state, it is alleged, have
been swindeled by a st. Paul firm or its
purported agents. Several of the VIC
Tins were in the t Paul recently and it
is likely that they will ask that the
matter be investigated by the grand
jury.
1t is asserted by those that have
lodged complaints that the agents rep
resenting a local firm went through the
small towns of the state and offered
dry goods in exchange for farming
lands. 1t is alleged that they seemed
willing to take the land from the real
estate agents at any price and in return
would make a consignment of dry goods
or other merchandise of equal value.
Some of the country agents became
enthusiastic over the prospect and listed
so they admit, their land at fancy
prices. Some offered land valued at 81
an acre for $50 an acre. The agent who
solicited for the exchange of land for
dry goods, it is alleged, showed no sur.
prise at the high prices asked for the
land, saying that he did not care what
price his Giants paid SO long as he got
his commission; that was all he wa
after.
Before the transfer of goods was
made, it is alleged, the victims came to
st. Paul and were taken to a store on
University avenue which was literally
packed with dry goods boxes. There
an affable man was in attendance wht
showed the dry goods. The boxeI
exhibited were of first class and tn,
