CONFIDENCE IN CLEVELAND
II Mas Demonstrated in the Election
of His Equitable Ticket With
out Opposition.
Norfolk Landmark.

Norfolk Landmark.
When former President Grover
Cleveland accepted the request OF
the Equitable Life Assurance Socl-
ETY. that he act jointly with Judge
OeBrien and Mr.. Westinghouse, as a
member of a board which should
nominate new directors of the Soci-
ely and canvass the vote Of the
policy-holders, there was a great
howl from the yellow newspapers.
Mr.. Cleveland was accused OF sell
ing himself to the money trust, and
all that sort of thing.
People of intelligence paid no at
tention to the snarling Of pack
which is eager to aSsail the eXPresi-
dent because of the Indifference he
has always shown to it's antics. Sen
sible policy-holders of the Equitable
were delighted with Mr.. Cleveland's
acceptance of it's proposition, be-
in the great mans integrity and
observation-disclosures They knew that
when he accepted he committed
himself to nothing that would keep
him from discharging his duty hon
estly
The result is that the Equitable
is the only one of the three big
New York life insurance concerns
which held elections of directors last
week that did not have fight on
its hands. The Equitable Admin
istration ticket" selected largely
by Mr.. Cleveland, was so satisfac-
tory that there was no opposition.
The crowd that tried to drive Mr.
! Cleveland out of the Equitable was
talking against the interest Of tile
policy-holders. We want good men
in responsible positions in these
great fiduciary companies. The
Charlotte Observer notes that Mr.
Cleveland did not forget the South
in his selection of Equitable direc-
tors, any more than in his appoint
ments " high Office when he was
President Four of the new Equit-
able directors are from the South.
| Mr.. Joseph Bryan of Richmond is
! one, and Mr.. D. A. Tonpkins of
! Charlotte is another.

Arthur Dunn.

One of the strongest features Of
Arthur Dunn's new comedy, THE
Little Joker, which will be seen
here tonight are the musical num-
bers and lyrics. There are four
teen numbers, all of which are par
ticularly bright and catchy. espec-
tally the following: of I Were
Only Taller "The Little JOKER
'Just a Little Affection" and "YOu
and Me-" The concerted numbers
and ensembles are also tuneful and
will add greatly to the pleasure OF
the evening, when rendered by the
excellent singing company engaged
by Mr. Dunn.

for nearly the same effort as in the

consideration the fact that we go
over the actual course, taking the
exact time that is necessary to pull
through the water, you may well
imagine the strain that is brought
to bear upon us, and this is not

but from six to ten times a week!
The men chosen for seats in the

and have been in almost as severe
training as have.

informed me of his intention to pre-
sent statue of Benjamin Franklin
to the city of Paris, il seemed to me
that the occasion should be seized up
on for a demonstration of that warm
friendship which exists between the
worlds two great republics and for
which Franklin so firmly laid the
foundation. The happy coincidence of
the approach of the bicentenary of
Franklin's birth opened the way for us
to broaden the unwilling ceremonies
into the fete which you have been
asked to honor with your presence.
The spontaneous and hearty co-opera-
tion of the French government has
given TO this fete the international
character which brings into relief
that chapter in Franklin's life which
belongs to France as well as to the
United States, and which | trust will
ever be held dear to the hearts of
citizens of both countries In every
land throughout the civilized world
days during the year are set apart
to celebrate its advent into the ranks
of Independent and sovereign states,
as well as the birth of the great men
whose lofty character inspired the
masses with admiration and conf
dence, and whose firm and unerring
hand guided the frail ship of state
through the stormy struggle for in
dependence, or of revolution, against a
tyrannical regime.
These celebrations have their
practical value in keeping the fires Of
patriotism alive with that love of
country which inspires the soldier to
leave home and family to take up
arms for the defense Of its honor and
it's rights.

FULLER PARTICULARS
OF THE STATUE ITSELF.

Paris, April 27.-The Franz Amer
lean aspect of todays celebration is
shown in the composition of the com
mittees of honor, including a former
American president, Mr. Cleveland:
two former French presidents, Mgr.
Loubet and Casimir-Perier; as we'll
aS many other prominent public men,
French and American.
The souvenir invitations issued for
the celebration are a most artistic
example of French engraving. In
the upper corner is a large medallion
Of Franklin, showing the lines of his
face and his flowing locks. Over g.
900 Il these invitations were issued,
the additional demands for them have
come from all directions, people want
ing them as memtoes of the occasion.
The invitations read:
You are invited to take part in the
bl-centennial celebration of the birth
OF Benjamin Franklin, patriot, diplo-
matist and philosopher, and at the in
auguration of his statue, presented to
the city of Paris by Mr. John H. Har-
jes which will take place at the Pal
ace of the Trocadero, Friday, April
20, 1906, at IL O'Clock a. m. under the
patronage of the ambassador of the
United States, the members of the
committee of honor of the president
and members Of the committee of or
ganization."
The statue of Benjamin Franklin,
unveiled today, is a duplicate of the
one in front of the Philadelphia post
Office, which is considered by many
critics 10 be a masterpiece, and the
best statue of Franklln ever made. II
represents him seated In his favorite
arm chair, comfortably enfOlded in a
dressing robe. At the side and a lit
tie To the rear of the chair is a large
book, as if it had just fallen from
the hands of the great scientist and
diplomat. Franklin's attitude is one
of repose, and from the expression Of
his calm, strong face. there seems to
shine forth those characteristics OF
lows and kindness which did so much
TO endear him to the people to whom
he went as the first preventative
Z a new nation
The sculptor, Jota j. Boyle, of
New York, spent two years in the ox-
ecutiOu of this work After long
