"THB PLEIADEs' AT THE HYPE-

Oddly Named Attraction, Comprising
Four Little Playlets Well Received

Let's see; there were four Pleiades,

Number that came to the Hyperion last
night--a sort of group title, as 1t were,
for q quartette of more or less spar
king little sketches by Frank c. Ham
ilton. Mr.. Hamilton seems to think
that the time of the one-act play has
arrived-a point upon which more than
one theatrical ctitic would instantly
take issue with him; but at any rate,
he has acted upon that assumption so
far as to throw together four little cur
tain raisers, which he punches under
the general head of 1.-THE Pleiades,"
Mr.. Hamilton seemed DESTROYS of Civ
ing his own abilities a thorough trying
out more than anything else, for his
little sketches run the whole gamut of
the playwright's scale, with the farrell
cal element stronger than any other,
Romance and Rarebit" Is a musical

vaudeville-farce; "A Wyoming Woo
ms is love with tragic note, and

is adequate to their merits.
"The Pleiades" will be repeated at
the Hyperion theater this evening.

their work in passing and shooting for

the New Haven quintette. Two old

fairly strong game. Bone as usual was
all over the surface, and Dews backed
him up in great shape. Wrener played
a strong defensive game, and while his
play might not be termed brilliant yet
it is consistent and useful. Porter also
played his usual careful game. The
trolley company last night had special
cars waiting at the close of the game.

A very large and representa-
tive meeting of Obion County citi-
zens was held at the courthouse
last Monday. The courtroom was
nearly filed,
i DR. +. M. McRee presided and
the members of the press were
elected to act as secretaries.
I. j. Ogilvie, Esq, Of Obion,
addressed the convention first, pre-
senting his views npon the road
Iquestion and the kind Of legisla-
tion needed. He favored a special
road tax, or an increase of the
present road tax to 90 cents on
the hundred dollars. The revenue
from the present road tax is about
SS, 900; at 20 cents 1t would be
doubled, or about $4,000. He
thought that amount sufficient to
give us good roads and that the
people were willing to pay it if you
give them good roads. The roads
should be divided into three class
es, 40, 80 and % feet in width
40 road less than 90, and the grad
ing should be one inch to the foot.
The work should be done at the
proper season of the year. The
law should provide for condemn
ing lands sufficient for proper road
width, and the commissioner should
be allowed three men to act with
him in condemning and assessing
lands for road purposes, the County
Judge to see that the law is COM
piled with.
Mr.. Waddell, who was appointed
a committee to investigate the law
relative to converting each civil
district into a road district and
levying an independent tax, stated
that there were cases where this
had been done successfully, and
that the State and counties which
have the best road systems are
those which have commissioners
to snperintend road building. A
special tax is levied when neces-
sary, tile is used, and the roads
properly dftched and drained are
the best roads. All this requires
work and 1t can be done by special
assessment. He stated that no civil
district could be clothed with au-
thority to issue bonds.
At this point a request was made
for the reading of Representative
road bill, and the gentle
man being present read the bill in
full.
John White arose to speak. Mr.. |
White suggested that there should !
De only one road commissioner; in
act, he knew that one commissf k
ioner was amply sufficient to give I

county should have one commits

SHIP SUBSIDY.
Democratic Senators Admin er
Oslsr Treatment.


Democratic Senators Admin er
Osler Treatment.
Washington, March 2.--There
will be no ship subsidy legislation
during the present session of Con-
gress. This fact was practically
conceded by all when the Senate
supporters Of the subsidy bill
agreed late today to let the sub
ject go over until tomorrow. The
failure of the measure will be due
to the opposition Of Democratic
Senators, which was so pronounce
ed as to cause them to engage in a
fillibuster for more than an hour to
prevent consideration Of the meas
ure at to-day's session.
The position Of the Democratic
Senator's was made known to their
Republican colleagues early day.
Several of them held an informal
conference on the floor of the SEN
ate, and after deciding that the
bill should not pass in its present
shape, they instructed their eau
Gus leader, Senator Blackburn, to
convey this information to the Re-
publican leaders.
The Republicans were then we'll
aware of the probable fate Of the
bill when, at 1.30 o'clock, Senator
Gallinger, who has charge of the
bill when it is before the Senate.
called the measure up and moved
to concur in the House amend
ments, motion was Immediately
met by counter motion to post
pone the consideration until to-
morrow, and when 1t was voted
down various other motions, all of
. dilatory character, were intro
iuced by Democratic Senator's.
and Notwithstanding they were all
iefeated, It was perfectly under
stood that the determined opposi-
ion at 50 late an hour in the ses-
non meant the ultimate defeat of
ne measure unless some agree
nent could be reached.
Senator Spooner suggested the
necessity for the printing of the
bill before action and NOV
d the postponement for the time
or consideration until 4 o'clock
o-day. Senator Carmack moved
$ substitute for that motion that
he bill be taken up to. morrow
norning, and ayes and nays we're
rdered on that motion. Senator
'armack's motion to postpone the
hip subsidy bill until tomorrow
corning was defeated, So to 81.
A motion by Mr.. Rayner to
ostpone until s O'Clock tonight
let with a similar fate.
Another motion by Mr.. Car
ack to postpone until o'clock

'lIowed by motion BY Mr.. Cul-
srson to postpone until $50

ROAD CONVENTION
Mass Meeting at Courthouse Vote for Two
Commissioners Mr.. Kenney's Bill.


/ ter and more uniformly enforced
The district commissioner woulC
probably not give the matter 0.
widening the roads proper atten
ton, and hence entail a grea
amount of dissatisfaction. The
roads ought to be graded twice
year in the spring and in the
fall. Bad places in the roads car
be avoided by proper attention,
These things should not be ne.
elected for a single day.
The penalty for not working
should not be over $500. One
objection to the present system il
that the proper tools are not &C
cessible for road work. Say forty
men are warned to work the road.
All sorts of spades and shoyels
and picks are produced, scme In
ferior and useless; hence if the
men were willing to do a full days
work the tools would not be such
as to get satisfactory results. Make
the law so that every man must
pay his 50 cents day, four days
in all, provide the commissioner
with the proper machinery and
tools and require him to get the
hest results with the fund accru-
ing from the road tax and the
penalties.
John Kersey thought that the
property owners should pay for
road work and not the men who
own nothing and depend entirely
upon their wages as farm hand
at Is cents a day. He thought the
burden was unequal.
j. Fl. Mcdowell opposed this
idea. The men who worked on
the farms had an equal privilege
in using the roads and they should
pay or work the roads. He thought
that the county should have two
commissioners, and that it would
be necessary to gravel the roads,
in order to have good roads.
Mr.. Pursley was ii favor Of
every male from the age Of Is to
% being subject to road work.

CHANGES IN CHINESE WORSHIP.
Money Formerly Wasted on Ancestral
Rites Used to Educate People.

Some months ago the Shanghai Tao
tai suggested that the large sums Of
money squandered on ancestral rites
should be used for modern education.
Already "A remarkable response has
come from the Chinese of Singapore,
who have decided to devote to educa-
tion the money hitherto spent in pro-
cessions and feasts in ancestor wor-
ship. 1t is estimated that some $780,
600 will thus be made available. This
indicates an atNtude of mind towards
ancestor worship which is quite IN
precedented.
If the millions of China would act
upon the advice of the Shanghai ma
gistrate. not only would a great obsta-
Gle to missionary work be removed.

ruler. This step seems to have been
taken to avoid the difficulty which has
existed in the case of Chinese Chris
tian students, who had conscientious
scruples with regard to the worship
of COnfuciuS" which was required of
all who sought admittance to the new
schools and colleges. AS a result Of
this edict Confucius will now be re-
garded as above the plane where wor-
ship is permitted for any except the
emperor. Thus, says Record of Chris

difficulty has been removed from the
