beautiful rural melodramatic comedy
from the pen of Fred Raymond, will be
the offering. Mr.. Raymond has spared
no expense in getting up this produc-

from all others. and to be built on up

effort has been made to depart from
the conventional time-honored method
of producing plays. Judging from pub

Mr.. Gillette was ii protegc of Mark

in the Gillette seTie sOf plays-the clat-

HAS LOVED NEGRO NOT WISELY. BUT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16.-Ad-
dressing the senate today on the
Brownsville affair, Senator Carmack
of Tennessee announced that he heart
lily supported the president in his ac-
tion discharging the negro soldiers.
The action Of the legislature Of his
state, he said, met his personal views.
~ think it proper to say that any re-
ports that senators may have heard
that the president solicited my support
in this matter; that he urged me to
forgive and forget certain personal re-
marks and begged me to stand between
him and those enemies in the admin
istration, the senators from Ohio and
South Carolina, is a gross exaggera-
tion. - said Senator Carmack.
