Mrs. Conkling disap- proved heartily of the sentiment. we should be willing" she thought. ito SOW what would be reaped by our suc- cessor."

THEATRES
"The County Chairman :"

 Standing at the height of hot po- litlcal campaign, his enemy of years: the opposing candidate before him. and
 holding in. his possession knowledge which would surely defeat that enemy at the polls. Theodore Babcock. as The
 Honorable Jim Hackley, The County Chairman wavered between two courses. Intervening In plea for her stretched her hands appealingly. beg ging that he refrain from making use of that knowledge.
 Hesitatingly the Chairman stood. hatred of years struggling with love for the mistery. Then he yielded to the softer feeling and held back from the course which would have brought him victory sweeter than riches. As he stood at this point In the play, The odore Babcock gave way to The Hon. orable Jim Hackler. Illusion vanished: It was not a part that was being played to the audience In the Montgomery Theatre. but real, living struggle transpiring before its eyes. At that point the actor transcended his lines and became a living character. It was no longer a play which the auditors saw, but a piece or trasedy or real life
 The scene was but the accentuation, however. of a quality which Babcock made felt throughout the play. The naturalness of the actor which all but deceives was his at every stage Of the four acts of The County Chairman"
 Whether the play called for humar. pathos or heroism. he was all tho same "a representative of a. character which lives, breathes and Is real. Again and again, the curtain was raised in re- sponse to continued applause until the audience was forced rom very cour- tesy to desist.
 As the drawing of character, espe- cially the character with humor, Is the
 characteristic of Ade. in his lighter
 works So was character, the character
 with humor. the keynote of the play last night. Every character In the play Is one which may be found in real life in the country Indiana town--a trife exaggerated. perhaps. but not too much SO for the exercise of comedy. And that Babcock filled in so complete de- gree, the possibility of The Honorable Jim H .ckler. country politician. shrewd old fox and great hearted gentleman. in one, was an evidence of the pre-em- thence of his art.
 The story of The County Chairman" has been seen here before. The pres entation of the excitement and inter- est attending a County election in the State of Indiana, where politics Is al- ways d living issue, with the different eharacters of the Indiana country vil- laRe is familiar to local play goers. Familiar also is the story. the romance which runs through 1t .and the gentle ness. Ielicacy and artistic manner in which it is handled. That the mem bers of the cast of The County Chair man" last night presented their roles with such fidelity to the scenes which were so familiar 10 the HooSier author was proof of thelr ability as actors.

Selma Nov. 2.-(Special)--R. D. Anderson. a special policeman at the fair grounds. shot and killed Edward J. Boykin. another fair policeman. back of the Parker Amusement Com pany's tents. at II o'clock tonight.

Girls Employed in Making Candy Are
 Stampeded.
 Nashville, Nov. 2.-An engine in the factory of the Standard Candy Com pany of this city, ran away early to- night and a big fly wheel went to pieces.
 A flying spoke brained Hamp Crock ett. a negro fireman. and the same piece, it is thought, struck Dewitt Dortch, the negro watchman, cutting his throat and breaking his neck.
 The building shook as if from an earthquake and the lights went out. Among the seventy-five employees were twenty-five girls who were panic- stricken. They were with difficulty prevented from jumping from the sec- ond story windows and one man in an effort to restrain them was knocked down and trampled upon.
 They could not be induced to de- scend the steps leading to where the dead men lay below and were finally removed by means of ladders Dam- age to the building and machinery is estimated at $750.

WANTED INFORMATION.
Robert Desired Minister'S Formula for
Disgusting His Breath.

OtSSdISsU8 sStS DtSosus
A very aggressive and highly sue
cessful crusade in favor of temperance
has recently been going on in GER
tain Scotch city, and young minis
ter, whose eloquence is marred only
by the unfortunate remarks he some
times makes, has been able to per-
suade several heavy drinkers to enter
the temperance fold.
Meeting one of his converts one at
ternoon, he stopped him and inquired
how he was getting along.
The man kept well back, and the
minister's suspicious were aroused.
"Ah, Robert" said the reverend gen.
tleman, sadly. "Pm afraid you've
been drinking. l can smell 1t on your
breath"
Robert didn't deny the impeach-
ment-in fact, he couldn't-and just
remained speechless, his eyes fixed on
the ground in front of him.
Now, Robert" continued the minis
ter, "you never smell the odor OF
liquor In my breath"
"No, sir, I never did," was Roberts
reply; then, In a most anxious tone OF
voice, he added:
What dye dae for it?"

cacy and right feeling with which II
was expressed. The letter was &C
knowledged in veiled and guarded
terms. and when Billery's concerns
next took him down to the riverside
village he saw Aloysius in the street
raised his hat to him in passing, and
had his salute returned.
He had always thought that Alloy.
sins actually despised him, and the
belief had rankled in his mind. When
he recalled that fateful interview in
his own room which had led to the
partial violation of secret carefully
guarded from all men for 80 many
years he would go hot and cold all
over. He remembered his own aspect
as he had seen it in the glass after
TruscOtt's departure-the hair all
tumbled and frowzy, the eyes bleared
the cheeks and lips unshaven and un'
washed, the linen soiled and crumpled
the clothes all wrinkled and un
brushed after nights sleep in them
because he had been too drunk when
he had staggered to his bed to take
them OF.
Then he remembered his visitor, the
refinement and distinction Of his
dress, his perfect manner and speech
the patient sorrow of his look, the
dignity and self-control with which his
charges had been received, the amaz
Ing reasonableness with which all the
suspicious against him were accepted
as being natural and inevitable, and
he blushed with shame.
The contrast was too appalling-the
squalid drunkard, believing his unjust
accusation, and the man who faced
him. OF course Billery was unfair to
himself. His grounds for belief had
seemed so real that even the man
against whom they told admitted their
cogency. But it was not in him tc
be merely just to anybody or any
thing, and when he thought of all
these things he writhed in the depths
OF his self-humiliation. In short, II
there were a man in all the world ir
whose eyes Billery would have beer
glad to show to advantage, that man
was Aloysius Brangwyn. And since
he had not the remotest hope that he
would ever do it he was very unhappy
This novel feeling of his drew him
dftener to the village than he had
ever been before, though in Trus
colts day he had been a somewhat
frequent visitor. He knew, more OF
less, goodly number of the residents
and whenever he could find time he
would make opportunities for knowing
them better. He scraped acquaintance
with the parson and the organist. He
developed great interest in the an
tiquities of the church and took heel
ball rubbings of all the brasses. Ant
since, when all was said and done
Billery was a ripe scholar, and 'most
undeniably a gentleman SO long as he
kept sober, he became popular, ant
