 their own parties. Much of the recent prohibition legislation has been accomplished by working one or both of the old parties to ad- vocate the issue locally, or permit its local application. Counties and townships have been given by re- publican and democratic legis- latures right to vote the sale of liquor out from the limits of their local authority, and the right so given has been exercised so fre- quently that prohibition now pre-. vails in large portions of many states, and the area of "dry terri tory" seems extending constantly. And of late, particularly in the South, entire states "have gone dry" Until recent years the mov- ement has been very slow, but lately 1t has gathered an impetus that is remarkable. Particularly is the statement true in the South. where social conditions are such that the ruling race has felt it a duty to hedge itself about with re- straint most rigid, to enable the 1 suppression of the sale of liquor among the depraved and vicious element among the blacks, which ! is very large in some states.
 The subject is we'll worthy of re- mark, and recent developments have caused wide attention to be directed to it. A recent compila- tion of the situation is said to show that almost two-ffths of the popu- | lation of the United States is living now under prohibition, either by the exercise of local option, or by state prohibition. The following is going the rounds as compend- ium of the situation as it exists now:
 Alabama-Drv.
 Arkansas-Sixty out of 7S counties dry. Much dry territory in other coun- ties.
 California Four dry counties and much dry territory in other counties.
 Connecticut-Town local option, 96 no license to z license towns.
 Georgia-Drv.
 Delaware-Six dry towns, state no license campaign
 Florida-Thirty dry counties out of 45. Enthusiastically over POO dry towns, two dry counties. Indiana-Three dry counties, 710 dry townships out of l ,06l. Iowa-Sixty-five out of 99 dry coun- ,ies. Kentucky-Ninety-seven out of 10 l, counties dry.
 Louisiana-Seven-eighths dry.
 Maryland-Ten out of g dry counties. Massachussetts-Tw hundred and fif- , y dry, 100 wet.
 Minnesota-ll22 dry towns. Mississippi-Sixty-eight out of 75 .ounties dry. Missouri-Forty counties dry. I Nebraska-400 dry, 600 wet towns. New Hampshire-Sixty-two per cent f population in dry territory. 2 Ohio-Out of 1886 townships, ,140 , re dry. Oregon-Twelve dry counties. I Rhode Island-Sixteen dry municipal 1; ties out of 3S. South Carolina-Largely dry. Tennessee-Saloons allowed in but i; hree municipalities. Texas-Two-thirds of state dry. {

The United States is shortly to have
another citizen in the person of
Arcangelo Rivett, who is an Italian at
the present time living in Perrysburg.
He has been in this country for seven
years and likes it well enough to take
the oath of citizenship. He was at
the Clerks Office Monday getting
some more papers, and in 80 days will
receive the balance, when he will be
qualified to vote.

Toledo ?heaters
Attractions at the Valentine Theatre,
Toledo, Week of February
Twenty-Fourth.

Francis Wilson, in when Knights
Were Bold" decidedly one of the
foremost successes of the past two
seasons on the stage, will visit the
Valentine theatre, Toledo, Ohio, on
Wednesday, February 26th. The
mere announcement of this occasion
will convey its full significance to the
public for theatre patrons everywhere
have accepted Francis Wilson's name
as a synonym for fun making and
laughter. This season his production
is certain to be twice as attractive
as heretofore for the reason that his
vehicle. when Knights Were Bold"
is agreed to be one of the cleverest
musical comedy farces in which he
has appeared. 1t gives him an oppor-
tunity he has not had in some of his
prior pieces. The result is that the
amount of fun he extracts from it eX-
ceeds that which he has been able to
the time spent in witnessing the per
formance is one of constant amuse-
ment and laughter. The plot itself is
unique and whimsical. The chief
character impersonated by Mr.. Will
son is that of descendant of one of
the royal families who is constantly
doting upon the history of his ances-
tors and spends much time before
their old pictures. Through a clever
dream device this character is then
represented as living in the times of
his forefathers and his attempts to
devote himself to their crude methods
of living are what create the fun.
Complication after complication fol-
lows with the result of uproarious
laughter. Mr.. Wilson has taken eX-
ceptional care in selecting his cast
this season and the supporting COM
pany is, therefore, one of the most
capable in the musical comedy field.
This is especially true of the singing
ability of the chorus. AS most of the
scenes are placed in the medieval
days, the settings are rich and
picturesque. Altogether the perform
ance by Mr.. Wilson in Toledo will be
one of the most attractive ones of the
season and is decidedly one of those
occasions which the patrons outside
of Toledo should not miss.

LYCEuM THEATRE.

Frank Jones as Happy Holmes,
peripatetic philosopher in the latest
musical comedy success, "A Luckey
Dog by Mark E. Swan and George
Nichols, is seen at his best. Through
out the entire three acts of this mu
sical play he is the happy tramp
always witty, always within the char
acter which is surrounded by host
of other interesting characters and a.
good crowd of pretty girls, Hilda
Garlic and her famous Red Raven
Cadets
The story of the play is good the
plot original, the music catchy and
the dialogue witty. Each follows the,
other in such rapid succession that
there is never lapse of interest dur
ing the entire three acts of the show.
The engagement at the Lyceum for
three days, will begin on Thursday
matinee.
Musical interest will center in the
engagement of Colex and Johnson in
their new musical comedy sensation,
THE Shoo-Fly Regiment" which will
be seen at the Lyceum Sunday matt
nee for four nights and Tuesday
matinee. The appearance of these
celebrated colored comedians and
composers constitutes the first hear
ing of an organization composed en-
tirely of negro actors. The unusual
originality and bright catchy music
of the production induced the manage
ment to present it at the Lyceum,
where it is expected to prove a high
~ interesting and diverting novelty.
"The Shoo-Fly Regiment" opens
with a scene in front of a colored in
dustrial school in the south, with cot
ton fields in the background. The
pupils of the school, the attaches of
the institute (remindful of Tuskogee)
neighbors and visitors cause the prin-
cipals and chorus to appear natural.
Then comes the call to the Spanish
American war, when a company of
colored soldiers is organized with the
principals in the ranks. The scene
shifts to the Philippines, where the
colored girls appear as Spanish senor-
itas, with characteristic music and
dances. There is touch of military
melodrama, with battle scene; then
the home coming loves path straight
ems, more comedy, more music.

FOR REPEAL OF
WISCONSIN LAW
Insurance Companies to Pay the PEN
atty and Start Fight to Kill
provision.

Madison, Wis, July 10.-The TWEEN
ty-three insurance companies which
withdrew from the state as a result OF
laws passed at the last session of the
legislature and then refused to file re
ports of their business in the state are
about to submit their reports as the
result of suit started against the Go
lumbar National Life Insurance com
pany of Boston. This contemplated
action presagts fight for the repeal
of the laws at the session next winter.
Agents of these companies decided
to retain former United States Sena-
tor John C. Spooner to test the validity
of the Wisconsin laws in the courts.
Early last week officials of the com
pany visited the insurance commissions
er and attempted to settle the case.
1t is believed that the settlement now
being made by the Columbian Nation
al Life indicates that the company has
been advised by Senator Spooner that
the Wisconsin law is valid. 1t is also
taken as an indication that. the other
twenty two companies viii file reports
at once and pay the penalty of $1,000
each
