Very Attractive Week Promised for
 Patrons of This House.

The week promises to be very busy one at the Poll theater. The production of East Lynne by the stock company Is very splendid one, elabo- rately staged and costumed and touches the popular fancy more lnti- mately than anything they have given this season, Miss Edna Crawford in the leading woman's part Is strong and attractive as usual She Is called upon as Lady Isabel to do some of the best work she has done here, and the hneness of her performance is really artistic, Mir. Ingram and Mir Lawler have changed places as villain and lover, giving each chance to show that they can portray both characters with equal nicety. As the guardian angel of the house" Miss Knott makes a decided hit. Her every entrance causes a laugh. relieving the somewhat somber conditions just at the right time. There are good inter pretations of each part allotted to the entire company, and the extra people are also clever.
 The singing between the acts was a treat yesterday. Carl w. Snowman of Waterbury being the artist. His voice is very delightful one, and his songs this week we'll chosen. The invitation for all to join in was most heartily responded to, and the chorus to his last song was repeated several times MT. Snowman also has small part in the play
 On Wednesday Miss Washburn will hold reception in the lobby of the theater directly after the matinee and on Friday the souvenir matinee will be held as usual and pictures oi MT. Lawler will be given away. Satur. day the children's matinee will be specially attractive. Every lady who attends this weeks performances wil be given an extra coupon for the dia mond ring contest and on Monda, next the drawing will take place. Yo, see there is lot to be on the lool out for, Isn't there? Don't miss bein, among those who have a chance a them all.

BRYAN'S CHAIRM MAN A GREAT PACIFIER Norman II. Mack Chosen to Bring Antagonistio Factions
 Into Harmony.
HARD AFTER NEW YORK
Thomas M. Osborne's Shift to Bryan Significant Feature of the
 Situation.

New York, July 27,--Norman E, Mack whom Bryan has made chairman of the democratic national committee, Is ex- pected here in a day or two to make arrangements for the opening of the campaign In the east Mack, 1t is be- ieved by local politicians, was chosen by "the Peerless One" chiefly because of his friendly relations with the Cleve- land democrats and his undoubted pop ularlty with the antl-Murphy, and Con ners crowd.
 Although he has always been a Bry- m democrat, he has been able to keep the Friendship of the Independent wing of the party. and particularly the gola aemocrats No one is better acquaint- ed with the New York situation than Bryan. and no one realizes more fully the value. of this state in the Bryan column. To Mack ne looks for the qualification of New York and the re- uniting of the factions now preparing To spring it each others throats in the coming primaries
 There is 10 doubt that Mack, in turn, looks to ex.Jndge Alton B. Parker for assistance In the task Bryan has set for him, also to sheehan and David B. Hill. How much help they will be in bringing the upstate county leaders Into line Is c matter of conjecture.
 Thomas Ar. Osborne of Auburn has already issued q statement that he will euport Bryan. This is significant in Itself.
 Osborne has always been considered as strong 0 conservative as Edward NJ. Shepard or any of the other old-line democrats of Manhattan. It is not known that Mir. Mack had anything to do with Mir. osbornes action. but if he did cause 1t, politicians see no reason why he cannot win over the rest of the men who have so far persietently re- fused to stand for either Bryan or his principles.
 Mnck's appointment also means. &C., cording to the politicians here, that the upstate democrats will be assured of fair play in the next state convention, and that Murphy and Corners must keep their hands off. This alone will be a coup for Bryan, if 1t proves to be true; for while the state might gladly
