A Coming Entertainment.

The Evans moving picture COM
pany will give an exhibition at the
Armory next Tuesday night. Mr..
Evans is proprietor OF the electric
theater in Jacksonville and during
the past winter and spring has been
giving weekly entertainments in St.
Augustine that have been highly
pleasing to the people in that city.
This will be his first appearance in
Palatka, and from what the News
can learn our people will not be dis
appointed in Mr.. Evans show. The
admission for adults is to be 35 cents
and that for children under II years,
Is cents.
The ST. Augustine Record, among
other fiattering notices, had the fol-
lowing to say of the Evans enter
tainment:
IAN attraction such as the Evans
all-new moving pictures is always
welcomed. Probably no other eX-
hibition as highly entertaining could
be secured at the reasonable price
charged for admissian. The views
shown by this concern are all new
and up to date, and embrace scenes
of realistic splendor and grandeur of
foreign climes, their people, customs
and country. Many are able to pic
ture in their minds, life in the re-
motest parts OF the globe who other
wise would never be able to view
these sights. Combined with this is
the ever laugh provoking scenes
taken from all phases of life. A
show for men, women and children,
instructive and entertaining.

CLARK FOR HOUSE LEADER
Election of Missouri Man Seems Ger
tain as Outcome of Party
Fight,

Chicago, Jan. IA dispatch TO the
Tribune from Washington says:
There is to be a great revolution in the
Democratic political campaign Pledges
have been given which insure the election
of Champ Clark of Missouri to be the
Democratic leader in the house OF. repre-
sentatives, and the party candidate for
speaker in place of John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi the present leader. The
campaign for the position of Williams has
been going on quietly for a long time. un-
til pledges from old members who have
been reelected to the Sixtieth congress
and from new ones who will come into the
house at the same time have reached a
number sufficient to insure the control of
a Democratic caucus in behalf OF the
Missouri representative.
This change is Of immense importance
because 1t Involves a great deal in the
way of presidential politics, as the Dem
ocratic candidate for speaker will not be
proposed until just before the opening of
the first session OF the next congress in
December. From that time on candidates
for the presidency and vice presidency
will be busily engaged in different states
and the influence of Democratic repre-
sentatives in congress will have a good
deal TO do with debating the nomination.
Mr. Williams friends do not give up the
fight vet. but there is every reason to be-
lieve the pledges for Clark now consti-
tute a clear majority of the caucus.
