PRESIDENT SEES
 MICHIGAN MEN
INVITATION EXTENDED TO HIM TO COME TO THEIR STATE JULY 6 AND HEAR NEWS OF HIS NoMl- NATION.

Washington January ls. President Roosevelt received a delegation of about TO prominent men of Michigan today In the east room of the White House They extended to him an invitation to attend the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary or the republican party to be held under The Oaks" at Jackson, Mich. on the 6th of next July, and incidentally gave him an enthusiastic greeting.
 The personnel of the delegation includ- ed many of the most prominent republi cans of Michigan as well as some demo- erals. The suggestion was made that the President receive on that day the offcia, notification of his nomination in the event Of the Chicago convention's favorable ae- tion on his candidacy.
 Tt would be impossible for me not to be deeply moved by the invitation and the circumstances under which 1t is ten- dered and above all by the cordial and generous spirit you show in rendering 1t. If can I shall come.
 The only reason that I cannot speak in unqualified terms of acceptance at this moment Is that I have to consider so many other invitations. Many invitations are rendered to me which l would like to accept which are only a question of personal incidents" ;"

Howard Hall appeared last night in dual role at the Bijou in 'The Man Who Dared" decidedly the best melodrama which has been seen at that house this year. In fact the production rises above the popular price organizations which have been playing there and 1t might well hold It's head up among many more pre- tentious plays.
 The production presents a combination of good features, and has but one thing which mars it. The cast is strong and none of the usual popular price acting Is seen The plot Is well worked out and 1t abonnds in scenes which hold the audience spellbound. There is action from first to last The great climax of the piece is in the third act when Howard Hall enters the den with two lions who snar and claw at him viciously. There is another exciting scene at the climax of the last act when he fights the william and con quers at the swords point.
 MT. Hall makes a striking stage appear ance, and has an excellent speaking voice which carries conviction with it. He has hard part to play, but he seems at ali times to be master of this role which he wrote for himself. He has wisely drawn around him a very strong company, and one which Is at all times handsomely eostumed. The company has four women and all of them enter the class of pretty, something rare on the stage.
 Miss Ethel Fuller has the hardest role of the entire play. She appears as Rita, a Spanish adventures and woman of the world. she marries for money while pro- fessing love for another man. She att tempts the life of her husband and thinks she has succeeded. but he appears again as his twin brother, and gradually works the play up to the duel
 Miss Mary Servoss is a striking look ing woman, and also a very clever ac- tress Her part Is that of a woman who loves desperately, but has lost. She does not over do it. Her costumes are ele- gant, and she has a fine figure. Her eyes are very expressive and attract attention at once.
 Miss Clara Joel makes a typical Amer ican girl. She is a type seen often and always to advantage, whether on the stage or in actual life. She has the roguish, winsome ways of the American girl.
 The only defects In the play are its length, and the abomniabe popular price company parade across the stage at the company parade acros the stage at the end of an act for the audience to applaud the favorites and hiss the williams. Mir Hall has too good production to thus lower it to the rank of popular price plays.

sENslTIvENEss OF PAIN.
At Last Man Is to Be Given Some of
 the Credit Due Him.

From the Chicago Chronicle
 It has often been remarked that even delicate, refined women bear pain with Physicians, surgeons, dentists and others have commented on the fact and great credit has been reflected on what is usually termed ..the weaker sex" for their heroism in regard to pain.
 It now comes to light that women are less sensitive to pain than men, that they actually feel less of it in given opera ton. A European scientist of distinction has been making careful experiments in this direction, and after a large number of tests at the tope of the fore finger he has come to the conclusion that women are not more than half as sensitive to pain as men are.
 This accounts now for the bowling and grooming to which men are given when anything is the matter with them. The impatient wife has often complained that her husband fused more over a small cut, hardly skin deep, or a slight swelling than she did over matters that were of seri- ous and even dangerous character.
 The instrument for measuring pain tells the truth. Women are not suffering in. silence the torture they were supposed to keep to themselves Their heroism is not to be denied, but credit is not to be given for the long-suffering formerly supposed to be a part of their very nature
 On the other hand. when men are writing In a proxysm of agony over what seems to women mere nothing at all compassion and sympathy will henceforth be extended to them. knowing their deli cate sensbility to pain and the real amount they suffer as recorded by the triith-telling instrument.

A Duty the Men Shy At.

From the Boston Herald.
 Apropos of leap year, a bachelor writes to the New York Sun to say that, while he recognizes the fact that he ought to get married and that, being endowed with a sort of Rabelaisian sense of humor, he could put up with the ordinary inconvenience of married life, he cannot stand the negligence of woman in her appearance nowadays. She is not proud enough. She cares too little how she looks, and she wears too many pins, instead of buttons. Conc- dently we have received complaint from young married man, who says he finds the comforts and discomforts of married life average up fairly well, only he kicks at some of the duties and res possibilities. For instance, he says his comparatively brief experience has taught him that no woman who cannot afford a maid has any right to get mar ried and wear gown that hooks up the back From which we infer that 1t is one of the duties of husbands in moderate circumstances nowadays so act in the capacity of Iady's maid when it comes to hooking up things. It will have to be allowed that this sort of thing is calculated to jar the ordinary masculine temperament. There are ways of escaping it, however. While it is the privilege of women to propose matrimony this year, 1t is also the privilege of men to accept the proposi- tion conditionally. if they accept it at all. This would dispense with hooks up the back

 Submits Another Note.
 Under date of January General Reyes submits another note to Secretary Hay in which he says he had transmitted Secre- tary Hays answer to his statement of grievances, to his government by cable. The secretary's note Is construed, he says as an intimation that the Colombian forces will be attacked by the United States on their entering the territory or Panama to subdue the rebellion and for that reason it would hold the government of the United States responsible for all damages caused to it by loss of that na- tional territory.
 It IS requested that the ITSl lole ol peh- eral Reyes be made public. General Reyes adds:
 "Inasmuch as official charges have been made against my country in the document sent to the senate, I give notice to your excellencv in reply to those charges l will publish my note of December 3.
 No UnfrendIy Motives.
 Replying to this on January 9, Secretary Hay says that he finds almost all the proposltions brought forward in the sec ond note have been considered and fully answered in his note of the 9th of Jan nary He says. however, ''I will not for A moment accept the imputation of un- friendly motives, or sentiments on the mart of this country towards Colombia and even if Colombia should persist in as snming a hostile attitude toward us. it will only after the most careful deliber- ation and with extreme reluctance that ttis government would shape it's course in accordance with the deplorable condi' lions thus created.
 Finder date of January II. General Reyes discusses at some Iengtn his prop osition to refer the matter to The Hague and then concludes with a regret on the failure of his mission to the United States.
 Secretary Hay answers this under date of January 13. with the statement that tbere is no reason to reconsider the at titude of the United States as heretofore set forth.

"Alphonse and Gaston," like many an- other comedy which depends largely on 'saorse play for it's laugh, amused two audiences at the Jefferson theatre yes terday, and surprised many by proving to be peter than was expected.
 One striking thing was the pretty cos tunes worn by the members of the cho- rus, and the neat effects they made. These, if nothing else, were well worth seeing.
 Most of the acting fell on the shoulders of Harry B. Watson as Weary Willie and Nellie Nichols as Evelyn Finnegan The latter was here last season with "The Telephone Girr' fin a prominent part. She Is good looking, and sings half a dozen songs in an acceptable manner. Watson makes a good tramp, does clever trick bicycle act and manages to pour forth two rather good songs.
