Bradford. (Pa) Record of THE Girl
from Out Yonder," which rs at the Hi
nois Nov. 10: 1.-The Girl from Out
Yonder' is marked for successful
carser if the reception accorded to the
play and it's players at the Bradford
Monday evening is an augury of fu-
ture favor The audience at the Brad
ford on this occasion was a very large
one, as Miss Adelaide Thurston is
great favorite among the Bradford play
goers. 1t is not necessary to repeat
the story of the play, which was pub
lished in The Record of Monday. As
the story was unfolded TO the audience,
from the appearance of Little Flotsam
in oil skins, to the happy denouement
preceding the final curtain, the SYM
patty of those present went out to the
little fisher girl and her unhappy par
ent, who suffered from the prickings
of a keen conscience. Miss Thurston
and the members of the company re-
ceiyed several curtain calls and at the
close of the third act the demonstra-
ton of the audience was something not
usually. Witnessed in a theater.'

of the protesting elephants in jungle
wood hauling work; the clatter of hors-

and over mountain bridges, gave
reality to the pictures that was real.
In scenes pathetic and breathing the

moved the audience by his work on the
piano. The Lyman Howe moving pic
lures, as managed by Mr.. Saunders,
should be seen by every man, woman

One of Hits of PIay.-One of the big
hits of "Fantana" is Miss Georgia Bry-
ton, pocket edition of d young lady,
who plays a cockney maid The work
of Miss Bryton is grotesque without
being coarse and clever without being
pert and her conception of the part of
Jessie is really in very capable hands
as her cockney dialect she comes by
naturally, being of English birth. Miss
Bryton is given ample opportunity in
"Fantana'' as she is an important fac
tor in the piece The work of Miss
Bryton has been praised very highly
by both press and public. At the

Chorus Feature.-Aside from the
fact that THE District Leader" is
equipped with one of the brightest.
snappiest choruses on the road and
mounted in a $4,000 scenic setting
and coStuming, at the same time it
has the heart interest in the story it
self that appeals to every patriotic and
fun-loving American. The story deals
with the vital living side of our great
commonwealth, namely. politics, love,
and sunshine. The strands are so clev-
erly woven that the spectator is car
ried from laughter and tears to tears
and laughter in the same breath. The
authors treatment of the story is fresh
and unconventional These qualities
coupled with Miss Barrington's crisp
style. which has made her so famous
in "The Wizard of o." Babes in Toy
land" 'The Land of Nod etc. go to
make production equaled by few COM
panies en- tour this season. '"The Dis
trict Leader" will appear at the I'LL
nois theater on Sunday, Nov. Is for
matinee and night.

COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION
= ,,aSr .@ 4 ~ - 74sss5 ss&5 IN

The source of that virile and pro-
gressive spirit which, has made Pen
dleton the leading city of oregon out
side of the great metropolis, Portland,
is found in the record of her Com
mercial. association.
When you seek for the spirit OF
the hive" the unseen activity which
stirs into living things, the hidden re-
sources of city or a county, you
must go back to the individual effort,
the personal characteristics OF your
citizenship. o..
The growth and importance of PEN
dleton are inseparably connected with
the active Commercial association
which has been maintained in this
city for the past II years.
Not a solitary movement for the
Improvement of Pendletou or Uma-
tilla county has been made in the
past II years, which was not initiated
/ oi espoused by this association, and
whatever has come to the city in the
way of better facilities, improved
conditions and wider scope of influ-
ence has come through the effort and
cooperation of the association, pri-
marily.
First steps Taken.
on FEBRUARY 9. 1898, half a dozen
citizens of. Pendlcton met i'm the
council rooms for the purpose of or
gani2ing a commercial body to direct
the development of the city and coun-
. ty.
This was the beginning of one OF
the best commercial associations now

Prosecution of Carter Was Net Rel~
 Ished by Savannah Society.
 Savannah, Ga- Feb. 14.-MaJor Cas- sius D. Gillette's testimony was con- cluded today and the Greene and Gay- nor trial moved on to other witnesses, not, however, before the session had proven the most interesting and dra" matic that has yet been held.
 In the cross examination of Major Gillette by Mir Osborne, for the de- fense, a sensation was created when the witness plunged into a revelation of the difficulties he had encountered in Savannah because of the prosecution of Captain Oberlin M. Carter. He and his family, he intimated, had been re- ceived but coldly and there was prac~ ticaI ostracism from that society in which Carter had long been favorite.
 The most dramatic feature of his ev- dence developed, however, when he quoted a conversation he had had with Mir osborne, the attorney cross exam ining him, in which the latter had told him that the animoslty developed against him because of his attitude to- ward Carter, for brazen effrontery, was without parallel in the history ot crime."
 MT. Osborne endeavored to shake tha witness in his memory of this state ment, but Major Gillette adhered to 1t. declaring that he had repeated it many times since and that it was an obser- vation so striking that it could nos have slipped from his memory,

 Intends to Do So.

New York, Feb. 14.-Recommenda tions that legal proceedings be insti- tuted to cover certain contributions made by the New York Life Insurance Company were submitted to the trus- tees of that company today by the special Investigating committee headed by Thomas P.

 Your comntttee therefore recom~ mends that special counsel be retained forthwith to institute such legal pro- ceedlngs as may be necessary to re- cover the sums so contributed from such officers and trustees of tho com pany as In the judgment of counsel are liable therefor. .''

THE HOUSE.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Incident to the passage of the fortiications appro- priation bill, which was accomplished by the House today. a lively debate was kept up throughout involving the difference between the Republican and Democratic policy with reference to the Philippines. and also the difference between army and navy officers as to the place where a naval station and fortifications shall be established In the archipelago. The debate availed noth- ing so far as the legislation was con cerned. as the two amendments on the proposition--ffrst. not to appropriate anything for fortiflcations in the Phil ippines. and. second. to forbid the ex- penditure of any money at Subig Bay. were defeated.
 The minority took some pains to make plain the position of Mir. Bryan in his campaign for the ratification of the Paris treaty of peace, that Mir. Bryan wanted first to acquire the Phil- ippines and then give their inhabitants freedom.
 This was accomplished by having placed in the record letter written by Mir. Bryan some. time ago on the sub jest. The fortlfcation bills does not specify where the Notifications will be iocated but appropriates $sO0.o00 to be divided between the Philippines and Hawaii. The bill carries total of $4,3S3,99S for Notifications and their armament. It passed exactly as re- ported by the committee.
