A walters, Tramp Play.

Elmer Walters "a Thoroughbred
Tramp" a play which generally gives
satisfaction to its spectators, will be
seen at the Grand opera house next
Thursday.
This attraction, though bordering
on the sensational, is enriched with
pure fun OF the uproarlous sort and it
is seldom the audience does not en-
thuse sufficiently to accord the com.
many several curtain calls. The stage
settings are uncommon-the third act,
that of a hospital ward, probably be-
ing the more picturesque.
7. Rush Thompson, the tramp,
though roughly clad and full of fun
and spirit at the off act, shows him
self to be a man of refinement and
education who has allowed pride and
jealousy to lead him from the thor
oughfare of prosperity.

From the Westminster Gazette.
| will build ME a cot on the mountain
side,
Away from the toiling town,
Where the sunbeams lure and the air
is pure,
And the winds come sweeping down.
Where the much-loved birds in their
leaf.roofed halls
VIII herald by mornings in;
And my days shall be and my nights
shall be
AS a world that has no sin;
Where this life's fierce cares and its
wild unrest
Cannot reach my sun-garbei day;
And the whole of my time shall be
the rhyme
And the theme of an artless lay
| will poise me cot on the noun
tain's brow,
Where the eagle whirls his fight
Above the vale, with its gentling tale
OF a life that is lived for right;
Where the joys of sublimity linger
around,
Giving rest to the overcrushed
soul
AS the dropping lark sings, on Its
low.Iying wings,
Ere 1t runs to its coveted goal;
Where the heat OF ambition, the gilt
ter Of shows,
The falsehood of friendship or love,
There forever must cease to ruffle my
peace,
Or iarken my pathway above.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

From the Chicago Daily News.
Fast men seldom win in the human
race.
Necessity knows more law than a
lot Of lawyers.
Invisible patches are not used in
fixing up quarrels.
Some men look upon religion as a
sort of moral fire.escape.
When a man beholds his first baby
boz; his path of life LOOKS sonny
Don't forget to laugh when your
boss tells a joke with whlskers on 1t.
Some men are born poets, but most
editors have poetry thrust upon them
And It sometimes happens that a
rich bachelor makes a poor husband.
The man who jumps at conclusions
is apt to meet with surprise when
he lands,
In the various walks of life some
people have a walkover and others se'
walked on.

Some time ago two prominent men
built residences in the town and as
they we're in the same vicinity one Of
the men became intimate with the 9th
er mans wife. The relationship be-
came stronger as the Jays passed by
and finally came to a point farther
than the rules Of polite society will
permit. The nelghboring women dis;
cussed the matter for some time a.
they suspected that all was not right,
and they decided on scheme to
watch the house. Thursday night the
woman's husband was away from
home and the nelghboring women with
a few men started watch Of the
premises. Their hopes we're soon real
lied, as the men in question was seen
to go in rear window of the house
They surrounded the house and del.
egation started in the front door. The
man became frightened and leaped
out Of the open window through which
he had entered, only TO fall into his
wlfe's arms. She is attending to him
now, the other men has returned
home, and 1t is said that now all is
peaceful.

The great Government Printing OF
fee witch must be of interest to all
tax payers in the country since it is
one Of. the most expensive luxurics
Of the government that they must sup
sport is once more in the public TlnG
as result Of the report of the Keep
Commission which has Just been Is
sued. For number Of years there
has been a prevailing idea that re
forms were much needed in that insti.
tuition and since the Postoffice disclos-
ures a few years ago the big print shop
has come in for more suspicion than
ever. The Keep Commission has pre-
scented to the public report witch
shows that II there is no graft in
that Office 1t is because men better
than the average have been in charge
and in the fear that such virtue may
not always I've obtainable the necessity
for reform in some Of the business
methods Of that office Is imperative.
The Government Printing of1ce is
one Of the anomalies of the govern
ment organization. 1t is one OF the
most expensive of the government in.
5stItutions but 1t is under the supervi.
sion Of no Cabinet officer and the Pub
lie Printer is answeraDie alone to The
President. He spends money without
any direct supervision and in one IN.
stance is said to have made million
dollar contract without consultation
or approval of any highe: officer. Il.
Illustrative Of the remarkable latitude,
is another instance cred IL which he
is said to have paid half million dol
lars for typesetting machines without
consulting superior. The Commits
sion wisely argues tnat such cond!
lions would not be permissible in any
other business and that they should
not be allowed in this Office, and rec
ommends that new raw governing
the administration of the affairs OF
the Public Printing ONCE should bu
enacted. 1t is probable when the at
tention of Congress is turned to the
Printing Office and REFORMS there be-
gun the Public Printer will be made a
bureau officer and placed under the su
pervision OF Cabinet officer.
Apropos of this subject of the
Printing Office it is stated by the Pub
lie Printer, Mr.. stillings, that in over
hauling the office lately he came across
a lot of material, much of it type that
had never been taken nom the pack
ages. The type is useless for the
Printing Office since nearly all of the
work is done by machines and conse
ouently the type will be offered 70
sale. II. is now being assorted and II
will he arranged that country newspa
pers and small printing offices car
avail themselves OF the opportunity tt
buy good type at large reduction
from the current prices. The pnhiit
printer will not follow the old custom
of disDosing of all the material IL

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. $50.
fciai circles here are much interested
IN the divorce suit and scandal IN
which Senator Plat, Of New York,
and his wife, long resident CT this
city, are concerned. Senator Plat
has been in Congress since tie days
Of Conkling and his face has been
familiar to people here for more than
TWENTY-FIVE years. He has probably
more appointees, especially those Of
the female persuasion in the Depart
Sinent here than any other man in the
/ country, When his engagement to his
present wife, then Mrs. Janeway was
announced, there was Tee prediction
that the Senator was not laying up
for himself peaceful old age and
the society women OF Washington
helped to fulfill the prediction by
snubbIng Mrs. Plat on all occasions
and by making her soc:ar career here
prompt failure When Miss Snow,
the daughter Of Mrs. PIatt by the first
of her three marriages was married
last spring to Colonel Carmody the
plot thickened and the application for
divorce by the young people and the
publicity given the Senator's unhap'
by domestic situation coming close
on its heels, have ELECTED more a
told you sos than actual surprises.
The aged Senator It appears has been
the victim of several love affairs dur
ing his second youth and one Mae
Wood gained notorlety last year by
claiming damages for broken prom.
ises from her ancient lover. All Of
these examples and many others less
widely known urge the adoption of b
suggestion made in the days of tine
unfortunate Breckenridge of Kentucky
that a bureau for the protection and
safeguarding of easily tempted Con.
gressmen from willy school girls and
widows should be established at the
Capital.

Deserted at the Altar" now on It's
fourth annual tour, will be seen at
TIE Grand Wednesday, Oct. 10th. The
MAY is one that will appeal to the best
class Of theater.goers, as it is strict
liz moral and up-to.date in every re-
spect. The author, Mr.. Pierce Kings
ley, has strlven to give the public
something different from the ordinary
blood and thunder melodramn with
which our stage is overrun, and has
succeeded admirably in this pretty
PASTORAL play. Two of the scenes are
laid amid the grandeur of the Adiron'
dack Mountains; the first showing
them in gala summer dress, with
flowers, green trees and singing birds
the last in the snow.clad beauty OF
Cbristmastiie. All special scenery
and electric effects are carried which,
together with very strong company
guarantee a perfect scenic produc'
tim Of the highest order.

dif4gibie balloons and air ships VIII
be among the every day sights Of the
great celebration. Since. the big show
at ST. Louis, vast improvements have
been made in aircraft and the best
ON earth viii be shown at jamestown.
The steam power developed by the
gtupendous feet Of war vessels to be
assembled in Hampton Roads at the
jamestown Exposition win far exceed
that Of any manufacturing city in the
world.
The war feet in Hampton Roads at
the jamestown Exposition will devel.
on more electric lighting power than
that of any city in the world Of one
million population or less.
During the jamestown Exposition
there will always be at least one hun
bred vessels of war at anchor or in
evolution in Hampton Roads, within
sight of the grounds in addition to the
marines fleet Of more than two hun.
dred craft. The night illumination OF
this immense fleet will be one of the
great world spectacles.
There are in Hampton Roads more
than one. hundred and sixty square
miles Of sheltered anchorage. 1t re-
quires one quarter of one square mile
for safe anchorage for war ship and
IT will thus be seen that when the
great war fleets of the world come
to the jamestown Exposition there
will be room for all Of them.
