John Sharpe Williams
Great Speech.


and most representative bodies Of cit
liens met in Macon and listened to the
great leader Of the democratic party
discuss the living issues now before the
country.
A little after O'Clock p. NJ. Mr..
Williams was introduced by the Hon.
A. T. Dent in a few, bnt well-chosen
remarks. Without any superhuity Mr.,
Williams opened his address, which was
listened to throughout with the closest
attention, not a sound save the fre-
quent applause which seemed to come
spontaneous alike from men, women
and children Mr.. William commenced
by laying down the fundamental prin-
ciples of the democratic party, and did
it in such simple, plain and straight
forward language that the smallest
child could understand. He urged the
voter, before he deposited his ballot, to
apply these principles to every measure
of public policy submitted to him for
his decision, If it squared up to these
principles it was right if not it was all
wrong. Hesaid Democracy, ina words,
was briefly this;
Equal rights to all, special privileges
to none; equal burdens to all, special
exemptions to none -
These principles, when applied to
measues Of public policy, will determine
the honest voter how his ballot should
go. He then discussed government
ownership of railroads, and with a few
practical Illustrations as to its effect,
especially in the south, he soon con-
vinced that large audience that govern
ment ownership was the last thing the
South wanted or would have He said
that upon this question he differed
radically with Mr.. Nardaman that he
was not now and never would be in ia
vor Of this measure so long as present
conditions remain the same The BEA-
CON regrets, for want Of space, its in
ability to give more Of his speech along
this line especially as his Illustrations +.
We're so true and practical that every 1.
southerner could understand them.
He referred, incidentally to the eX-
isting tariff law, and went on to show
how its inequality Of burdens, as well |
as its unjust determinations in favor of /
the few, made it not only undemOcratic |
but extremely pernicious and iniquitous |
how it built colossal fortunes by tax
ing the profit fromhonest toll He also .
referred to the ship subsidy bill and his .
untiring efforts to secure its defeat, |
which was ACCOMPLISHED i'm the senate |

"The Earl and the Girl"

The craze for giving and accepting coupons for purchases of merchandise. to be redeemed by prizes, was given a we'll merited rebuke by Alexander Clark, the comedian of "The Earl and the Girl" which appears at the Hyper ion Wednesday, Oct 9. After buying big bill of goods in a department store the other day, the salesman of fered him the coupons that the amount of sale called for. Clark shook his head. T don't want 'em,' he said, You had better take them, sir" per- sisted the clerk, i've redeem them with very handsome and excellent prizes, if you save a thousand coupons we give a grand piano" Say look here," re- piled Clark, If ever drank enough Of your whiskey and smoked enough of your cigars to get a thousand cou- pons, I wouldn't want a plano, I'd want a harp"

aGreat Exnress Rohberx.p

Competition in the theatrical field is palpably keener than in any other line of business, for the simple reason that the energetic manager who wishes to thrive must be thoroughly and consistently up-to-date. He can not afford to allow the grass of pro- gress to grow beneath his feet for the reason that if he does his unfeeling neighbor will get ahead of him. This is one of the many reasons why A. Fl. Woods, the well known caterer of melodrama, has been so successful in all of his numerous undertakings and why he enjoys the distinction of being the best judge of these kind of plays. Tn his latest production The Great Express Robbery" a play in four acts and nine scenes and written by that adroit, rapid fire dramatist, Owen Davis, Mir. Woods has excelled some of his recent and indisputable triumphs. This latest thriller Is book ed as the next attraction at the New Haven theater Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights this week and at the matinee Saturday, and local playgoers will have a fine chance to judge for themselves the merits or demerits of the new piece.

Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" and which will be seen at the New Haven heater tonight, Tuesday and we'd aesday nights and at the matinee Wednesday. when Miss Gertrude Ship man appears as Charles Majors charm ing heroine, are now being built at the modish dressmaking house for in- terior wear. No longer does the smart woman aim for elaborate street gowns or astonishing visiting costumes, for she has learned to her sorrow how in- effective is rivalry of that sort. Her dinner frocks dance dresses and sump- tuous confections for interior wear are the chief concern of the woman who really knows how to make the most of her charms. Could any dinner frock be more picturesque or appropriate for the present full-skirted revival, than a reproduction of the gown worn by Miss Shipman in the second act of this production. It is designed from lustrous brocade, just such materials as have been specially imported this season to tempt the fancy of the ultra modish set. This rich texture is fash toned into tight fitting bodice to mould her correctly set-up Elizabeth an-front corset. Attached to this CO., quettish round bodice are the fulled- on breadths, so beautifully gored as to form circular f1ared train, which opens over a petticoat of liberty satin, one tone deeper than the brocade. This petticoat shows applications of rare old lace and silver. Her bodice has the present day dropping shoulder lines made possible by hand-wrought lace bretelle which finishes on each side of a soft null bust pulling, laced in at the waist point with silken cord. But the sleeves should serve as mod els for many a handsome house -frock; so curiously hung and festooned are they to form an irresistible back ground for well moulded arms. Tight little brocaded sleeves finish just above the elbows, which are trimmed with accordian pleated liberty flares ruche edged. These hang in long, trailing cascaded effect almost to her footline. Then, too, her costume accessories but reflect the last cry in modishness. Her tiny high heeled satin slippers exactly match the texture of her frock. And the costumes worn by the supporting company have been fashioned with the same care and attention to historic detail that attended the making of Miss shipman's costumes. fact, which makes the costuming stand out as one of the noteworthy features of the pro- duction. Judging from the large ad vance sale Miss shipman will receive a hearty reception from her many friends in New Haven.

Eleanor Robson Tonight in Bret
 Harte's "Salomy Jane"

If the biblical salome proved unin- teresting in a modern drama, the "Salomy Jane" of Bret Harte, made the central figure of a rousing Ameri- can melodrama by Paul Armstrong, has won unstinted praise Though the theatrical wireacres have announced that the fad for western plays had run its course, this Bret Harte idyl sprang into immediate favor in New York city last season and it opened the Academy of Music there this season to busi- ness of standing room only. Accord ing to all accounts Eleanor Robson has created in primitive "Salomy Jane" the best-rounded characterization of her careef as star.
 It will have it's first presentation at the Hyperion Monday and Tuesday, Oct and 8.

vocated by the republican party. Such is not the case. The republicans are strongly against it. It has been stated the real promoters of this question are First Selectman M. E. Cooke and Charles B. Yale, chairman of the school board, both democrats Therefore it would seem that this measure is a democratic one rather than republi- can one. Consolidation means the se- cession of Yalesville, a republican stronghold, and this would give the democrats without a doubt the first two places on the ticket and perhaps make 1t a democratic victory. The cit izens of Yalesville to a man are against 1t.
 Both sides are confident of victory tomorrow. While the democrats have a man who has been elected two years in succession, the republicans have a man in Zera P, Beach for first se- lectman who will poll a large vote and will win out if the members of his party vote "a straight ticket, This is the cause of the democrats winning the first selectman last year and If the republicans would stay by their ticket and do away with pastors every man on the republican ticket will be elect ed tomorrow with an overwhelming majority.
