During this week this popular play
house is presenting an unusually strong
bill and is playing to crowded houses.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark Mounts, who are
high-class opera singers but lately gone
into polite vaudeville. are musical en-
tertainers of rare ability and never fail
to charm. Nicola is unquestionably the
best single comedy juggler ON the coast
and Is complete show in himself.
Stick and Stone. in their knockabout
and breakaway comedy act have made
a great hit with the crowds Bentham
and Freeman produce decided novelties
as a high-class comedy sketch team
and intermingle musical act which is
a record breaker Tommy White. the
Hinkey Kid comedian. must be seen
to be appreciated. Ladrew and Lazone
are distinctly ft" in the big letters.
Do not fail to see them. Nothing else
in the city approaches their work as en-
tertainers.

As the management had promised,
the new Star theater was thrown open
to the public last evening. The show
house is not yet fully completed, but
1t is one of the prettiest places of
amusement on the coast. 1t is large
and conveniently arranged, with exits
that enable the crowd to leave the house
without the least annoyance to other
spectators, The lighting effects are
beautiful, and the interior decorations
generally are quite up-to-date. The
opening bill is far above the ordinary.
Gotto, the Japanese juggler, is a dis
tlnct novelty Montgomery and Cam
tor perhaps scored the biggest hit of
the season In their comic musical and
act, The Buttons also present
a good turn, while Dodson. travesty
artist. is a top-notcher In his line.
Richard Scott, with pictured melodies,
rounds out pleasing performance.
The house was crowded last night at
every show.

Had the master of the big British
ship Rajore dipped his flag yesterday
morning as his fine vessel started for
sea, regatta visitors would have en-
joyed rare sight, Just after Queen
Helen had been crowned and the flag
ship had left the grandstand. the Ra-
jore came down the channel In tow of
a bar tug. The big Brltisher was load
ed with grain and as the tug dragged
her slowly through the water she pre-
sented picturesque sight. Other ships
have gone to sea during the regatta
and in every instance they have dip

Yesterday the Rajore neglected to do

The COLDER PERIOD OF LIFE

We have been led to believe that
time does not deal kindly with age.
AS man grows old his eyes grow
dim, his ears lose their hearing: his
touch becomes less acute; his teeth
decay; his limbs totter and his func-
tons gradually lose their vitality.
Net We have just read in a medical
journal that from fifty to seventy
ought to he the best part of mans
life. This writer, DIR. G. :. arr, of
Columbus, Ohio, says that man
after fifty years is capable of more
mental work and sounetim even of
more physical work than hernr-. His
Judgments are trurr, his experience
has taught him IA great many things
he can never learn i'm college, and If
he conducts himself wisely, the best
part of his life is before him. Every
thing cOnspires to make a man more
useful, and happy, and cOntented.
Freed from the tortures of ambition,
and the screenings Of lust and greed,
the years between the ages Of fifty
and seventy are the golden days Of
his whole I'fe.
Mr. Carr's words are certainly en-
couraging aud we are glad TO know
that We have only fairly entered upon
the golden IRA OF life.

ed the controversy by making the
proposition that, inasmuch as his
honor was at stake, the issue thus
joined should be tried by the f.c,s, and
if Mr.. Stephens failed to prove his
charges that be should acknowledge
himself liar, and if he, Mr.. Hill,
failed to disprOve the charges that
then he would acknowledge himself
a liar. Ii is unnecessary to state
here the termination of that cOntrO-
veTsy. Ii is cited to show that the
serious minded public generally set
tie such charges by one candidate
against another uery much like Sena-
tor Hill proposed TO settle with Mr..
| Stephens.
The answer Hr. TaliaferrO has
ma de To Mr.. Harris letter is complete.
Ii is modest. A man who is called
upon to explain his acting and doings
ard defend himself against grave
charges Of political and moral miscon-
duct necessarily has a great latitude
in calling attention to whatever per-
formances of his may reflect glory
and credit upon himself. All the
charges against the senator are denied
10y him, and then facts and circum.
states are mOdestly given and related
which show the utter imprObability
and untTuthfulness of the charges.
DenunciaiiOn Of tbs charges, and de-
nuncIa lion Of the spirit which iuspir.
ed them, would not be censuTable in
the senator, for great provocation
justifies it, yet Deyond the plenilude
Of the power of simple words TO con
vey overwhelming truth, he does not
go. Many things he INCREASINGLY
stats 10 simply overthrow The charges
only that truth might prevail, he was
entitled in the defense of his charac-
ter TO proudly name as Signalling
the Eerit OF his career as man and
as a senator, but all of it was omitted
IN such simplicity that the Casual
reader would never be reminded Of
the omission.
Senator Taliaferro's answer to these
charges Of the mai. contents is a splen-
did paper. Il is on the plane Of ex.

Hearst is sure 30 be nominated.
What seemed 70 be chance few
months ago, now appears like a GER
tainty. From every direction comes
the good news of his growing popu-
larity.
The people il nearly every state are
taking interest, and thinking for
themselves. Already the candidates
are being discussed by the common
people a. has not been done for
many years. have met many peo-
pie i'm Florida IN the last three months
and niue tenths of thcse with whom
/ have conversed are satisfied for
Hearst. And, why not, they cannot
pick a flaw in him His effort in be
half Of the people has seldom been
equaled, and never surpassed.
He is great in executive ability,
strong ia mental attachments, true
in his conception OF things, and more
ihan generous in his tret; ment Of
mankind. If he is elected president
land am sure he will be if romina-
ted he will combine the moderation
Of jefferson with the bravery Of
Jackson. Tie will be the friend Of
the masses and not the subservient
tool of the the trusts and like classes.
All that the lovers of monopoly
may say, will not, cannot, check the
tide now floating the Hearst boom
and the hope Of the people.
James Gordon Bennett may write
his sarcastic objections, and ridicule
the poorer class of our citizens, but
he will fail to convince any one of
his sincerity, for the American peO-
pie know only too well that Mr..
Bennett resides in Paris and not in
New York. They know that his
newspaper is not democratic, out
while pretending to be neutral, that
it is republican in disguise. And
why any newspaper should care to
publish what he says regarding this
gOvernment-its present or its future
is more than can understand. He
says if the people want Hearst let
them have him, and they will. There
is notanOther man i'm our country who
could unite the party as Hearst can,
and while I would vote for any man
that the party may nominate l shall
continue to work for the nomination
Of w. r. Hearst.
Mississippi, South Carolina, Illinois
aud Kansas, have already shown that
he is their choice and Florida will
surely give her support to his cause
if the people instruct their delegates
in the primary.
If as claimed by the old adage "that
everything comes to those who wait"
we now feel sure as We have waited so
long for man of the people to pre-
side over the destiny Of the republic.
There never was a time when our gov
eminent needed a change more, and
in our whole country We haven't an
other man who, by nature, or circum-
stances, can more meet the needs
than w. X. Hearst. Let us get to-
gether and at the primary instruct
our delegates for Hearst, in the event
be has the New York delegation be.

No Need For Bitterness.

In this campaign in Florida, there
~ no need for individual or journal
istic scrimony. The contest should
be conducted by all participating
upon high plane of that courtesy
which exists between honorable gen.
tlemen discussing subjects Of mutual
interest. No man of fine feelings and
lofty impulses is elevated in his own
esteem or that of others by engaging
in an unseemly quarrel i'm which in
sulting epithets or innuendOes are
exchanged. Such contests engender
animosities that last for years, es-
tranging friends and sowing seeds of
dissentiOn that produce harvest of
discurd TO the detriment of the state.
The man who conducts the argument,
as a gentleman, should always feel
better after the contest is over. He
has the approval of his own con-
science ~ well as OF all Intelligent
men and, whether he wins or loses,
he retains the respect of friend and
foe alike; he has nothing to regret or
feel ashamed of; and, if he is victor,
his triumph will not be murred by
any ranking luminosity from his de-
feated oppOnent.-Punta Gorda
