THE STAGE R
aUnele Toms Cabin

The moving. mirthful. Kaleidoscope
production known as "Uncle Toms
Cabin" will be presented at the Grand
Opera House on Wednesday, Noyem-
Der 21st, matinee and night. by the
celebrated stetson Company. There is
so much Of incident, tolltty. tender
sentiment, lively dialogue, spectacu-
lar situation and poetic justice in an
Gent Uncle Tom that it will ever be
Of undying interest to the multitude.
It is all very well to be superior to the
charm of this entertainment, but it
furnishes pleasure to thousands AMI
there is no offering so enjoyed by
Young and old alike. The old critic
Is met by the logic Of the box-ofiCe
and throws up his hands. This grand
old stage story illustrates the vagarles
Of life and the versatility of human
nature. The law OF compensation so
lear to Emerson, is strictly obseT'
ed. The pathetic death Of little Eva
has no sooner covered the audience
with sorrows pail, than a stunning
eakewalk comes to restore the fool
ed or the merely dropping soul. The
stetson Company is the acknowledged
leader in the production Of Harriet
Beecher Stoves masterpiece. The
cast is large in number and well dis
trlbuted. The hounds and ponies, the
music and scenic, effects, costumes
and accessories are all Of the best al
talnable. Specialtles glitter through
the evening like stars in wintry SKY
There is buck and wing dancing In
the slave mart. There are two Top
sizes and two Lawyer Marks and each
Of the two parts is better than the 9th
er so to speak. Eliza crossing the

"vork stat. Folks"

That charming PASTORAL play,|"YorI
State Folks" which appears to pos
sess a charm can almost be classe,
as fascination, and while it does no
contain any tragic situations, does no
exploit any "so-called social prol
lens" and has no theatrical clap-tra
whatever, it has the mate power II

est from the rise of the curtain %
the first act until it goes down on tn

versally proclaimed as one of the beS
theatrical treats of the season.

Rob Fitzsimmons didn't lose any
friends by his visit to Fairmont' In
fact he made quite few, judging by
the expressions of those who saw him
at the Grand Opera House on satur-
day night.
From the time of his first appear
ance on the stage to the final drop oil
ina curtain the big audience was pleas
ed with the hero of SG7 battles. While
not nm actor. in the common under
standing of the term, his record and
reputation make up for any seeming
deficiencies as stage man and IN
fact there is sort Of charm in his
Loyishness.
But, as the bills say, Bob is not
the whole show. His wife, who was
formerly Julia May Clifford is large
mart of it. She is one of the best
singers local theater goers have heard
for many a day and she has charm
! Ing personality. The plot Of the play
"A Fight for Love" centers about
these two and the situations are all
natural and not over done.

skill and it is in the line of duty that

John wallace sized up the situation
Of west Virginia Democrats as fol-
loFs in yesterdays Pittsburg Dis
patch' 9
The first Democrat in West Virginia
to offer criticisms on his patty's lead
ership is George Byrne, the defeated
candidate for Congress in the Third
district, and he gives voice to thoughts
that have been entertained BY con-
siderable number Of the rank and file.
Mr.. Bryne asserts that the Democracy
can never hope to regain its lost
ground In this State until itschooses
| leaders who will have the acamen to
originate them instead of a goeasy
plan Of campaign.
Mr.. Byrne practices what he preach
es. He was the first in the field, and
he fought until the last vote was count
ed. He really did well, considering
the general results. In trying to beat
Representative Gaines. personally the
most popular Of the West Virginia del
egatlon, and concededly one Of his
party's foremost men, Byrne tackled
an uphill job. but he went at 1t in a
way that attracted admiration from
both sides.
Striking Right and Left
AS Mr.. Byrne mentions no names,
no personal offense can be taken. He
Ehalls from the county of Kanawha,
where his party's organization Is dom
mated by Ex-Governor W. A, Mac
Corkle and ex-secretary of Slate W,
E. Chiffon, and the latter's brother
Major Joseph Chiffon. This sO.called
MacC orkle.Chilton faction is opposed
to the dominancy of Colonel John T
McGraw, who is both State Chairman
and National committeeman, The
Mace clan is also of the
safe and sane" variety, whereas Nc
Graw AMI his followers have been con
sistent followers of the Bryan flag.
Byrne is inclined TO the McGRw per
suasion, which has not helped him
with his party's ruling powers in his
| own county. It is possible he is dig
nlfying Republican insinuations of his
remarks. Again he may be taking a
fall out Of the MacCorkle-ChlltOn PEG
/ pie for their alleged failure to be nc
tive in his own case. 1t is more char
liable and correct conclusion that he
is swinging his broedSword right and

Mr.. G. p. Castle, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Dear Sir: | have received your let
ter of October ,, inclosing two money
orders amounting to $40. The money
came at very opportune time, as it
enables us to continue our prepare
ton for the appeal without any in
terruption.
I called on Mr.. Manase yesterday
afternoon, and he was very much
pleased with the assistance that has
been rendered him by the people of
Honolulu.
l had another talk with him about
the circumstances surrounding the
shooting. and he was very insistent,
in fact he was really childish in his
earnestness, that he did not intend to
commit murder, but acted, as he
though, in self-defense. He may have
been, and undoubtedly was. excited at
the time and so was aroused to take
extreme means of defense. Be that
as it may, he has been convicted and
sentenced to capital punishment.
| just state these facts to you, so
that You viii have some assurance
that he is not deserving of the punish
ment inflicted under the verdict of
the jury. You can let the people of
Honolulu know that Manase is de
serving of assistance, and should en-
deavor to relieve him. if possible. I
and my associate here will do. all that
We possibly can at all times. and later
| expect to call on you and Governor
Carter to assist in the matter of an
appeal to the Governor of the State
of California. if that is necessary.

extra meals at the County jail. and I
willingly agreed to do so. We will
continue to pay for his meals from
