Nothing as quaint and as delightfully."-
picturesque as Mrs. Wigs of the Cab
bage Patch" has been seen In Richmond
in years. The production OF the play At
the Academy last night was one of the
most enjoyable events that tho season
has thus far offered.
The characters Of Alice Hogan Rice's
two stories are living realities iE the
dramatizntions The atmosphere and local
coloring Of the stories are admirably sus-t
taIned in the play Every character seems
to breathcl the atmosphere OF tho quaint
surroundings. All of the character
types ara well portrayed. There are no
less than twenY-four characters In the
play, including seight children. No play
has beer seen hero III many years which
carries as many Juveniles as does this
production. And at the head of them all

Mrs: Madge Carr Cook. as the philo-,
sophical, kindly, motherly Mrs.. Wigs,
gave a portrayal that was SO natural,
so quaint and so true to the authors
drawing Of the character that she seemed
to be Mrs. Wigs herself, just stepped
from the pages Of the book. Her work
possessed that quality which took from
it ill suggestion of acting. For tho time
being she was Mrs. Wigs, and lived
the part,
Miss Mabel Taliaferro, as Lovely Mary,
acted with simplicity of manner that
was charming, She has fresh, young
voice, wonderfully sweet and sympa-
sthetic, and her delicate features and
fine eyes were very expressive, and were
quite as effective as tho musical voice
of this clever child of the stage. She
is yet a little girl. and seems to have
added few inches to her height since she
first appeared here IT, "The Children Of
the Ghetto"
To mention all of the characters In the
play would be like writing a review of
the two books, which made the name Of
Alice Hogan Rico famous In the literary
world Of to-day.

 Gadsden. May 2S.-(speciaL) )-The closing exercises of the Gadsden pub lie schools was held at the Disque High School building Friday and the large auditorium of the new building was crowded to suffocation by the parents and friends of the pupils. The pro- gram was a short one and consisted of pantomimes. songs, dialogues and mu- sic. and every number on the program was carried out in the very best man. ner.

The Parker Meeting at Dallas.

AJ
 The complexion of the Parker meet. | ing at Dallas yesterday is an indica- | tion of the class of people in this State who are supporting the New Yorker
 for President, and there can be no bet ter compliment to a candidate for the highest office in the land than the en-
 dorsement by such people There was
 an entire absence of what might be termed ward politicians" or "politi- cal tricksters." the meeting being par ticipated in by the wise, conservative. substantial men of the State. There was not one present but who has in and occupies some position of high standing in his home county. Every section of the State was represented and it included men of various profess sions, the law and the press being we'll represented. It was a quiet dignified and conservative meeting. It was dis tfnctly for Parker, and not against any man. It did not throw stones at the other candidate. MT. Hearst, but put forward for Texas, in an excellent address, the merits of the New York 1urist, and comments him to the people or Texas as worthy of the confidence its keynote the words of Hon. John H. Reagan, who has written to MT. Bryan in behalf of conservative candidate on a conservative platform, and a war upon Rooseveltism and it presents Judge Parknr's name to the people as the logical candidate of this campaign year.
 Without question there is much req son to believe the people of Texas will give attention to this meeting. It was dominated by no man or set of men, Those who were presented participated individually. there was no cut-and- dried plan carried out, there was no enort to do any man harm, but a lauda- Die purpose to secure an instructed del egation from this State to St. Louis in the interest of Judge Parker. and the men who were there, Judge Tenn pleton of Hopkins. Judge Tarlton of Tarrant, Senator Potter of Cooke, Colo nel Johnston of Harris. Editor McCol- lum of McLaurin, Editor Ousley of Tarrant, William Caps of Tarrant, Edi- tor Carver of Denison. are in fact men of good report in the localities in which they have their homes and their business interests. No man has been presented to the people of Texas by better endorsers, and these men cannot fail to make an impression in Texas when the address to the people is is- sued.

DOuRrs As To cHINA

There is not shadow of doubt that China is causing some of the other nations of earth some anxious moments about this time. We believe 1t was Bret Harte who wrote the stirring lines.
 Which wish to remark.
 And my language is plain
 That for ways that are dark
 And for tricks that are vain
 The heather Chinee is peculiar
 and the pecularity holds good in all that Is connected with China or the Chinese. Probably more uncertain or unreliable nation and people do not exist on the globe.
 China is not a great nation, except in mere numbers, but there are several sion over the future course of the coun- try. One of these is that there are so many kinds of people who are ostensI- bly, subjects of China, but who may at time become unmanageable and rise, as the Boxers did a few years ago, and create trouble. The great body of the Chinese are apparently in full sympathy with Japan in the present war, and that is another source of apprehension The Japanese seem to be sincere in their desire that China remain neutral, but there can be no assurance, with such a people as the Chinese. that they will not interfere and thus bring on com plications with other governments. For China to join in with Japan would upset the peace of Europe and perhaps draw the United States into 1t.
 There is another cause of apprehension which is real. There are many Ameri- cans in China and some of them sym pathize with Russia Naturally it would not be matter of much surprise if this sympathy should bring on them the enmity of some of the many turbulent and IawIess con stituentss of these people and cause another of those horrible eras of atrocity which have more than once been wit messed over there. Christians In China are not looking on with any great degree of favor at best, and if such people as the Boxers can unite hatred towards foreigners with hatred of all who sym pathize with the Russians there may be serious trouble. It is known that our government Is not at ease, and doubtless the European governmnets are equally apprehensive. China is an uncertain quantity in the game now being played over there.

friends They come from the Republl- cans who believe he would have Il good chance of being elected, and from Democrats who are hostile to him ture of former Senator Hill and thu he is a colorless candidate.
 There Is no proof whatever that he is leaninng upon. or is dominated by Mir. Hill. On the contrary, there l.. plenty of evidence to show that he Is a man of strong will and does his own thinking. It fIas been stated, and not contradicted that the platform adopted York is not what. MT Hill wanted, but what Judge Parker wanted. It is also said that MT. Hill did not intend thar Tammany should have any of the dele vention. but that Judge Parker Insisted that a different policy relative to Tam many should be pursued, and he had his way in the matter.
 It would be easy to mention many things to show that there is uo truth in the statement that Judge Parker is MT. HilIs candidate. but the foregoing are sufficient to prove beyond question he does his own thinking and acts upon his own judgment.
 The charge that he Is a colorless can didate is based upon his refusal to make statement of his views on public questions at this time. It is evident that a demand For his views does not
 
 him. His friends are satisfied that he couldn't have been elected to his pres. ent high office If he were not a good Democrat-that if there ever had been any doubt of the genuineness of his Democracy the fact would have crop ped out long ago.
 Republicans and hostile Democrats are demanding an expression of his views Because they feer certain that a compliance with sucn demand would have the effect of lessening his inf1u- ence with one faction, or other of his party. They want a statement because they hope 1t would do what they are not able to do, namely, prevent him from getting the nomination. None of those who are calling so loudly and consistently for a statement Is infiu- enced by a desire to see him nominat- ed There is no reason, therefore, why he should pay any attention to de- mands they may make for his views If he were lacking in force of characs ter. or if his Democracy were ques- tioned, his party in New York would not have made him the chief judicial officer of that State and would not have endeavored to make him It's candidate for Governor two years ago.

That IS nnaI and unalterable. It goes as 1t lies.
