Lafayette-Miss Blair in "Sapho."

EugeEie Blair and company will ap-
pear next week in the dramatfzation Of
Alphonse Daudet's well known story Of
rSapho." As this play has not been
seen here since Olga Nethersole pre-
scented It four years ago, 1t IS expected
to p7ove a strong attraction at the La
fayette. Miss Blair considers "Sapho''
one OF the strongest roles in her roper
toire. She will follow the version used
by Nethersole. but some changes have
been made. because the play as put on
by Miss Nethersole contained so much
that was too suggestive for a production
with a future.

From the moment she appears upon the
stage she dominates everything with
the constantly changing phases OF Fan

Who Is Phoebe Davies p?
An Answer to q Query Many Have
Asked in Vain.

Considering that for seven years she
has been kept conspicuOusly before the
theatergoing public in way Down
East. it is astonishing how little is re-
membered regarding the previous ca
reer of Phoebe Davies, who is TO be seen
tomorrow at the Columbia. So far as
general knowledge OF her is concerned.
Miss Davies might have been spared
even the growing process admitted by
Topsy and have come into being and the
pastoral play simultaneously. The most
interested Of professional critics seem
ignorant Of her early efforts
This ignorance cannot be due entirely
to the fact that the actress achieved
the greater part of what she has
achieved on the Pacific Coast Nor can
it be traced to the comparative insig
nificance Of her former triumphs. When
Henrietta Crosman presented Mistress
Nell at the Bijou she had been men
toned so seldom that the house press
agent misspelled her name on the pro-
gram issued for the opening night And
yet the average layman now experiences
no difficulty in recalling that Miss Cros-
man had been with Charles Dickson and
with other semi-luminous stars pre-
Nious To her advent on Broadway. A
Cleveland reviewer who is not usually
prone TO be mistaken the other day
wrote that w. A Brady brought Miss
Davies TO this country especially for his
production of Way Down East.

SENATOR MORGAN
Believes Judge Parker Will Be Elect

Believes Judge Parker Will Be Elect ed, If Nominated.
 A Washington Special to The Memphis Commereial-Appeai quotes Senator Nor
 Should Judge Parker be nominated. I believe he will be elected. He Is homes upright and conservative, and is lust such a man to place against the Roose- Welt administration, which is Rs reckless as the lightning and liable to strike In present administration continued inc Senator, and l believe it will not be In- dorsed at the polls. There has never ssen time in the country since the early TOs that the Democratic party has not had about 100000 majority. The party has failed to register this majority at the polls because of fsetlonal troubles, and often the desire to piacate this or that faction by the insertion of uew-fangled ideas in the platform. am persuaded to believe, however. that the party this year Will draw up such a platform as will unite the party and allow 1t to register Its vote at the polls. In such an event We will ga.n a great victory.

MINING NEWS.

Silver Belt The Old Dominion Company's production of copper for the month of October from it's new shelter was 9T0 tons, or 1,940,000 pounds, and this was made from one furnace in comm:s- sion the entire month, and sec ond furnace running half the month. The output on the last day of the month was 46 tons of metal. It has thus been demon sfrated what the mine is capable of doing with the new plant in opera tion, and with two furnaces it is probable that 2,500,000 pounds of copper could be produced without any unusual effort.
 International American. We'd nesday last shipment of 2200 pounds of tungsten ore was brought in from the Wolfram mines on the Big Sandy for shipment to the Primos Chemical Company, at Cifston Station, Pa. The ore is from number of veins in the Aquarius mountains and Is the highest grade of metal ever taken out in the territory. It is thought that a product of seyenty-tiye per cent tungstic acid will be shipped from the mines for some time to come The ore lies in quartz and mica schist, the metal lying in the schist being very rich. Several men are to be put to work on the mines during the next month and large shipments may be looked for.
