an extremely difficult task in the por-
trayal of the character Of the betrayer
of the Savior. The emotions of hate,
suspicion and remorse are given with
such startling reality by Mr.. Bosworth
that the minds of those who saw the
production will probably turn to him

OF Mrs. Ffske herself little can be
said except that she makes a perfect
Mary. There is nothing about it over
done or UNDERGONE She lives the part
while on the stage and the person in
the audience forgets Mrs Fiske and
only sees before him the form of the
penitent Magdalene following her Savior
to the cross. 1t is a beautiful piece OF
acting but does not give Mrs Fiske
opportunity for the display of her emo
tionaI powers.
The audience filled almost every nook
and corner in the dingy little opera
house. 1t sat without batting its eyes
while the hideous curtain bedaubed
with advertisements was Haunted before

mournful music of the orchestra which
is supposed to keep them in sympathy
with the theme of the play and at the
end they went home probably feeling
that the 81 per seat which they had ex-

advantage so far as amusement is con-

1t is well. however. that the people
saw Mrs Fiske last night. She viii

She is an independent star and the

on Topeka has decreed that independent

regions unknown 10 our fathers. Yet it has
never abated one lot or title of the ancient law
imposed on us by our God fearing ancestors.
We have fought a good fight, but also we have
kept the faith. The Constitution of our fathers
has been the light TO our feet; OUT path is. and
will ever remain, that of ordered progress, of
liberty under the law. The country has vastly
increased, but the great Drained statesmen who
preceded us provided for infinite growth. The
discoveries of science have made miraculous ad-
ditiOns to our knOwlege. But we not daunt-
ed by progress; are not afraid Of the light.
The fabric our fathers builded on such sure
foundations will stand all shocks of fate or
fortune. There will always be proud pleasure
in looking back the history they made; but.
guided by their example, the coming generation
has the right to anticipate work not less i'm
portant, days equally memorable TO mankind.
We who are passing off the stage bid you. as
the children of Israel encamping by the sea
were bidden to go forward; we whose hands can
no longer hold the flaming torch pass it on to
you that it's clear light may show the truth to
the ages that to come

PARTY RECORD TO BE PROUD OF.

OF course our opponents who have got far

great period to admit they were not with
out merit. will say-for they must say some
thing-that we have fallen away from that high
level Now grieved to confess that I am
old enough to have seen something Of the be-
ginning well Of the present Of Repub-
lcan administrations, and venture to say that
no eight years Of government In history
have been purer from blame or have conferred
greater benefits upon the country than the eight
years OF Mckinley and Roosevelt which claim
your approval to-day. I need not hesitate to
refer to il, although have been associated
with both administrations; so little of their
merit is mine that may speak of them without
false modesty. Our national finances have never
in our history been so wisely and successfully
administered; credit never stood on a basis
so broad and SO strong. Our per cents COM
mand premium in all markets-no other
country on earth can say as much. We paid
abroad the ether Gay SJ0OOOO00 OF gold in a
single transaction without producing ripple in
exchange. The vast expenditure made neces-
sary by enormous increase IN every ele-
ment Of national growth IS collected with the
utmost and expended with perfect honesty.
Our protective system, loyalty and intelligently
carried out and improved in the last seven
years. not only fills our Treasury with the
means OF national expenditure. but has carried
our industries and our commerce TO height
OF prosperity which is the wonder and envy of
our neghbors. who are trying to emulate our
progress.
