STRAY SHOTS

A Sharon man said the other day that since he took out an accident insurance policy he hadn't so much as parked his shins. We see what's coming, i. G., an accident insurance company to be popular with the multitude must guarantee a broken leg or a fractured skull with every policy.

"DER
New Faces In the Cast at COnrIed's Irving
Place Theatre.

Der Privatdozent" or THE College Lee
turer," was the new attraction put on at
the Irving Place Theatre last night. The
production introduced several additional
players fresh from the chief theatres Of
Germany and received a warm welcome
from the large audience.
As the title indicates, the play is a study
of the struggles and ambitions Of profess
sors' lives at a German university. ODER
mayer, a talented scholar Of peasant parent
age, has been a prirdtcOSenf for ten years,
waiting and working in vain for his pro-
fessorship. He Is informed that n pro-
posal to Elsa, the sentimental daughter OF
Me influential Hofrath professor, DR.. kel-
Iersheim. will assure him the honor at
last.
Obermdyer, although he loves the girl,
refuses to take advantage Of this situation
to forward his ambitions. The play is the
story of the Misunderstanding OF ODER
mayer, the triumph Of a less talented but
more willy rival and the eventual return OF
Obermdyer to his mountain home Disguised
with the mean intrigues and petty iealousies
of academic life.
Carl Machold was we'll received as ODER
mayer. A hearty reception was accorded
TO Marianne Bratt, from the Kleinen Theater
in Berlin as Elsa, and to Marie Immisch.
from the Schauspielhaus in Leipzig, as her
meddling mother. Other new players were
Otto Treptow, from the Berlin kleinen
Theater, as O~bermdver's rival. and Trude
Voigt, in love with ObermdyeT, from the
Josephstadter Theater in Vienna.

wasting the District.
PENN YAM, Oct. 23.-DIigent inquiry
on all sides anon Democrats and Repub-
licans fails to reveal the presence Of a Hearst
landslide on the vineclad hills OF Yates
county. Anti Hearst sentiment is plentiful,
but where usually before election there is
considerable feeling and discussion gen.
eral quiet and lack Of excitement prevail.
Beneath the apparently smooth surface
there exists a determination on the part
of real Democrats which hodes Ill for the
success Of the Independence League candi-
date.
Representative Democrats are disguised.
r~esentful and indignant on account OF the
proceedings Of the Buffalo convention and
feel strongly against Hearst and his methods.
These men want to make the defeat OF the
Buffalo nominee as overwhelming as pos
sible, that the party may be saved from
destruction.
Some Democrats, however, who are not in
the habit of speaking their feelings and
mixing up in politics now say openly that
they will not submit to the Hearst pro-
gramme. Out Of thirty-four Democrats
actually interviewed in one OF the rural
towns Of this county fifteen were found to
be for Hearst. fourteen against Hearst and
five noncommittal. One Hearst Repub-
lican was found. The labor vote in the
community in question is very small n
reported to be mostly Republican.
Among those here who are going to vote
for Mr.. Hughes are: Charles Goble, OF the
firm of Goble Bros. lumber dealers, Dundee,
who is an old line Democrat and who has
never deserted the Democratic State or
national ticket before; William s. Booth Of
Dundee, who has supported the Democratic
ticket for more han forty-five years;
Charles r. Tenant, who has voted the
Democratic ticket since Tilden ran for
Governor; Charles Drake, a farmer and
ex-member Democratic county commit
tee, who has voted the Democratic
ticket straight for more than forty years;
Robert Mawney, who has voted the Demo-
cratic national ticket for ffty-f1ve years,
and II. Y. l.. Jones, who has supported
the Democratic ticket for thirty wears.
