"Mrs. S. Holmes, Detective"

With the cessation Of Lenten observ-
anceS society will tread the boards at
the OrDheum this week. and for the
first time on any stage will be present
Detective" Considerable interest CEN
ters in this event from the fact that
the sketch is written by Mrs. Ruth
Bryan Leavitt, daughter of Hon. Will
liam j. Bryan, and the title role will
be played by Mrs. Elizabeth Spencer,
a Denver society woman with ambi-
items to make a name for herself in
stageland. From this it must not be
inferred that Mrs. Spencer has had no
stage experience, because she has long
been identified with charity society
productions and has for several years
been regarded as being one of the best
voCaliStS in Colorado. About a year
age she appeared in the Orpheum at
Denver on society night and made an
emphatic hit. She will be supported
by VIII Chamberlain of Denver, who
will undertake the part of Raffles, and
]. r. Morton of Chicago. who is cast
as p. Palmersford Smith. Both gem
tlenen are professionals.
Owing to this event what under other
circumstances would have been the
headliner takes second place in the
large type. This comes in the form of
a very comedy and trim little person.

claim that Miss Harper has no superior
in the part. Miss Harper is in no
sense a copiest in any part which she
plays. She has a mind of her own, as
every artist has, and in presenting
part she tries TO feel and act the part
as she thinks the original would have
acted under similar circumstances. Jo-
seph DIETRICH. Miss Harper's leading
man, has been pronounced the equal Of
any Du Fresno yet seen in the west.
The company throughout is a good
one, and a finished production of this
much discussed play is promised.

4 WONDERFUL WOMAN.

Mrs. Harriet S. Stoakes, who
is ninety years old and blind, has
recently made with her own
hands two beautiful bed-quilts,
one for the Mathews and the
other for the East Mathews par
sOnage. Who can beat that?
With the exception of her eye
sight, she retains her faculties to
a remarkable degree. She has
attended her church nearly all
the Winter, enjoys the services of
the sanctuary, talks about church
work, and still comes to the par
sOnage. Who can beat that?
In all the years she has abound
ed in good works, and her house
has been home of the preachers.
Besides her children and grand
children, she has reared twenty
SIX orphan children, all of whom,
with probably one exception,
have grown to be useful men and
Women. An orphanage home.
Who can beat that?
She is woman that fears the
Lord, and should be praised.
Many will rise in the last day and
call her blessed. A ripe old saint,
a glorious sunset awaits her!
There are other sanity ones
in the county worthy to be nam
ed.
l may add: the people of Math-
ews are maintaining their usual
record of kindness to their
preachers. Although small
county it is divided into three cir
cults. May the present pastors
prove themselves worthy success
sors Of the faithful ones who have
preceded them

NAY COURT.
Mr.. McarS' Visit and Address.

Monday, the 2Ist instant. was
Mathews Court Day, and quite a
large gathering of people were
IN attendance. Several cases
were disposed Of in court, but
none Of much Importance. The
usual selling and buying went on,
business between individuals was
adjusted and the people met and
exchanged ideas as is their Gus
tom.
The matter which seemed of
most general interest was the
visit TO Mathews Of Mr.. Ohio +.
Mears OF Northampton county,
candidate for the Democratic
nomination 20 Congress from this
district. Mr.. Aiears mingled
with the crowd and was intro
duced by friends to many of the
voters. After dinner. during the
recess CT the court, he delivered
an address in the Court House to
fairly go0d-sIzcd and represen-
tative audience.
Mr.. Mears was introduced by
Chairman /. &. Garnett, who
said that while it is we'll known
that he is n supporter of Ion. w.
4. Jones in this contest, yet it
gave him pleasure to present to
the people Of Mathews any other
good Democrat who saw fit to
compete for the nomination. He
spoke of Mr. Mears in a BETTING
manner as a man of ability, a
gentleman of high character, and
a true Democrat.
Mr.. Mears was listened to with
close attention throughout his
very entertaining address, and
some of his remarks we're reCiev-
ed with applause. He said the
Issue is a personal one and rather
embarrassing for him to discuss;
that he had nothing TO say against
Mr.. Jones, the man whom he had
SO often supported and eulogized.
but that he believed in rotation
in office and that Mr.. Jones could
not complain that he had not
been we'll hOnOred and sufficient
iy rewarded by the people; that
he (Mr. Mears) has been a faith
tul supporter of the Democratic
party all his life and has worked
for Mr.. Jones ia every contest
when he had opposition; and that
If chosen to succeed Mr.. Jones in
Congress, it will be his ambition
to make a faithful representa-
tive and to merit the praise and
of his constituents.
Mr.. Mears' remarks were on a
high plane. and he said nothing
to which any of Mr.. Jones sup
porters could take exception.
His address was well received, |
and be evidently made a favor
able impression among the
people.
While Mr.. Jones has many |
oval supporters in Mathews. yet
t is predicted by friends of Mr.. |
Wears that the latter will carry |
he county. Keep cool gentle
nen! Remember, it is a friend
y contest between two worthy
Democrats, and we are all going
o support the nominee of the
Urinary. II.

CONGRESS.

THE JoJRNAL wishes 10 extend
an apology both to our readers
and to the Hon Ohio L. Mears
for its failurc in its last issue to
make mention Of Mr.. Mears'
presence at our Circuit Court,
and to give an account Of his
speech in the interest CT his can
.didacy We feel sure that no
s-fair minded man would believe
that the management Of The
Journal would Intentionally be
.discourteops to a distinguished
visitor, simply because we favor
the denomination of Hen. w. A.
Jones anal propose to use every
fair means to secure that end.
The truth Of the matter is that
on Court Day The Office force Of
EsE JOURNAL was unable to leave
the printing Office and did not
hear Mr Me$rs' speech, while
those who usually look after the
editorial and news ,colpns were
engaged ID cases in the Court and
.cQald not give. the last issue,
yofthc paper personal attention.
However. an accouRt is given in
this 'gsue, which we hope IS en-
tirely fuir TO Mr Mears.
We do not hesitate 10 say shat
the temper and tone of Mr..
Mear5 speech were excellent,
but we cannot agree 10 give great
weight and consideration to his
sole argument that Mr.. Jones has
aad sufficient leayth of service and
enoiuWents, for regarding party
nominations frcDs the view point
OF the party and tbs people, we
feel shat i.ngth o{ service. when
coupled with character aud abil-
jty, Is . guarcntee OF better rer-
rescntaliHes Cham change OF

District.
Not only Is tiiia Zine e. be-
tween Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Mcars,
but - IS true as between Mr..
Jones and any other man in the
District, for the reason that there
as no man therein Mr.. Jones' SUI
perior In character and ability
lfew his equals in those attro-
butes) and when there is added
to them intimate knowledge of
governmental questions, and long
experience in Federal legislation,
he has equipment and qualifiCa-
tionS to render better service to
his District, his party and his
country than any man liz the Dis
trict In fact, we know no man
in Virginia Mr.. Jones' superior as-l
an all round gentleman, Con-
gresham and Democrat, and we
feel that the people can i'll afford |
TO lose his distinguished service.
