When the crew of the passengel

loaded cars were driven down tc
the tail of the Y" and there the
engine stuck. The heavy rise in
the river had softened the road bed,
and when the engine struck it,
down she went almost to the axles.
The consequence was no train went
out and all efforts to move the en-
CINE and cars were futile. An en-
gine was sent for from Kingsville
with which to pull out the begged
engine. Quite a number of passen-
gers were expecting to leave on The

The committee adopted a resolution
offered by Charles Sonntag, in which it
indOrsed the policy Of President Roose-

In its preamble the paper asked that
the Republicans Of this county har-
mOnize and stand together under the
leadership OF its regularly and legally
constituted authorities. and that in
every Assembly district there be con-
stituted a committee Of eleven. 10 be

The comedy The Frisky Mrs. John
son." by Clyde Fitch, was presented at
the Alcazar Theater last night to a
crowded house. That the clever stock
company scored a success was ap-
parent from the rise of the curtain
until its fall. There was no occasion
except in one instance. for the
prompter's services. and everything
went along smoothly. The play has
been seen here before, but this was the
first time for its production by a stock
company. The humor is spontaneous
and the risible faculties of the audi
ence are kept in full play. but there is
running through the piece the effect
of Irritation that nearly ends in d
tragedy.
Miss Adele Block in the title role was
all that could be desired, artistically
and otherwise. Her deep love for her
younger sister and her sacrifice to save
her from the wrath of her husband
were cleverly portrayed. Miss Frances
Starr as the erring sister, Mrs Frank
Morley, shared the honors with Miss
Block. She was natural throughout
and carried the sympathies of the
audience with her. James Durkin as
Jim Morley who falls in love with Mrs
Johnson, had an excellent conception
of the part and Luke CONFESS as Frank
Morley, the injured husband, was eff
fective. The last scene in which these
four participated, when the young wife
oonfesses her faults, was worked out
to climax that literally brought down
the house. John B. Maher as Lord
BERTHE Heathcore supplied the great
er part of the fun and he was mimi
table. He was ably seconded by Harry
S. Hilliard as Lal Birkenhead; George
Osbourne as Count Max Dindeau; Miss
Juliet Crosby as Mrs. Bowler; Miss
Marie Howe as Mrs. Chardley; John
f. Hines as Professor Chardley and
Walter Belasco as Mr.. Bowler. The
scenery is excellent and the dresses of
the ladies are superb.

Central.

The Central Theater resounded with
enthusiastic cheers and applause last
night, when the heroic climaxes of the
American naval drama THE White
Squadron" sent patriotic thrills
through the crowded house The spec
tacular scene of the congress of the
navies was splendidly effective. Brit
ish, French, Russian, German and JAP
anese warships in full sail were repre-
sented, and finally the matchless white
ships floating the stars and stripes
glided into view and fred salutes. The
landing of the sailors of the various
nations made fine sight, and the bold
defiance breathed by the American
commander, protected by his SQUAD
ron's guns in the harbor of Rio Janeiro.
reused the audience to a thunderous
expression of appreciation. The great
play is expensively staged. with a cast
of more than 100 people. HerschelI
Mayall, as the Yankee captain who
gallantly champions the cause of his
mistreated countrymen in Brazil. was
a hero par excellence, while Henry
Shumer as the Brazilian officer who
sells his honor for gold and Ernest
Howell as a coconspirator were typical
assembling villains. Lloyd Edwards
played with merit the most pretentious
role he has yet essayed-that of the
Brazilian general; and Edwin T. En-
cry was good as noble young Bra
lillian fighting for love and honor. Ell
mer Booth put great deal of vim into
the part Of newspaper correspondent.
and George Nichols created striking
scene as slave, who appears yoked
to an OK until his freedom is purchased
by an American. Eugenia That's Law
ton and Edna Ellsmere won honors in
the roles of two beautiful Brazilian girls.
whose affairs of the heart and loving
sacrifices figure prominently in the
story. Myrtle Vane and Helen Hart
ley have pleasing comedy parts. The
scenery is very picturesque, and ''The
White Squadron" is a pronounced hit
at the Central.
