 Neil Burgess in "The County Fair" drew crowded house at the New Ha- ven theattr last night There are many types of comedy but the enduring sort in this play is that which sweeps the chords of human emotion from grave to gay, from lively to severe; that makes laughter sparkle with tears and lights emotion with the sunshine of smile. Auditors may listen with pleas ure at the cute sayings of the ingenue, laugh at the plain quibs of the rustic, cry with the heroine, despise the schemer. but tho real comedian ling CTS with the imagination and dwells in the heart as long as memory holds it's office. In the role of the prim prudsh old maid, who delights in a bit of gossip and who possesses her full share of sentiment, MT BurgessN will always hold place in the heart of theatergoers.

After a hot fight in the resolutions

convention. the party adopted a plat
form plank declaring in favor OF tn,

Instead Of naming the usual -four
delegates and alternates-at-large to the
national convention. it was decided tC
send eight. allowing each man one-hali
vote. Two presidential electors-at
large were also chosen.
The resolution indorsing Mr Bryar
was adopted with enthusiasm. and &
fattering demonstration followed the

of Mr.. Bryan's most jealous support

The hotel closed Tuesday. but Mr..
Cleveland did not leave with the other

his condition was such that IL was
deemed imprudent for him to make

given further credence by the fact that
Mrs. Cleveland. who left here Wednes-
day for Princeton. hurried back TO

CONSTITUTES BYRD LAW

JuOgs Harrison, oi Winchester. has
SNen cut the following statement IN re-
ply 10 inquiry from clergyman as TO
the Byrd Law.
in my opinion the law does not for
bid the use Of wine at communion. One
clause Of the Byrd law iorhids any per
son from selling or dispensing intoxica-
ting liquors on Sunday. Christmas or
election days. Certain justices Of the
peace In Loudoun county and Alexandria
are reported TO have construed 'dispens
ing as giving, and fined persons for
giving drink TO q friend on Sunday
My own idea IN this is that they are
clearly wrong. The words selling and
dispensing IN the particular clause have
reference 10 the authority 20 sell or Dis
pense I'm the other clauses 10 the law. OF
course II the law IL that no one can give
a drink To q friend, q clergyman could
not give wire in the communion service
"Uld,r the Byrd law no one can sell
liquor a any time but licensed dealer
de can sell, but not on Sunday. Under
this law there is no prohibition against
anYore giving or dispensing liquor with
out sails at any time. except social clubs
at th.ir clubhouse. Such clubs must have
license. and then they are forbidden
to sell or dispense liquor on Sunday. Ii
seems to me that this IL the plain mean

The request of Judge Leake. couu

The request of Judge Leake, coun-
eel ~ the r. f. 4 A. Railroad, that
the Corporation Commission penalize
passengers who fail to buy tickets at
che stations is not an unreasonable
one, as Is imposes a great deal of
extra and unnecessary labor upon
conductors,es especially on local trains,
TO be forced to issue receipts, collect
cssh and make change. There is no
good reason why tickets should not
be purchased at stations under ordi-
nary circumstances, but II the order
l. unconstitutional It can readily be
used as means of debating, in a
measure, the provisi ms of the two
cent rate law. Passengers boarding
trains in Washington for points
south OF Alexandria have no time
during the stop at Alexandria to get
on the train and purchase tickets,
aud even II they undertook to do so
is is against the rules OF the COM
pany to sell tickets while a train Il
standing at the depot. A ticket
sold in the District OF Columbia TO
any point In Virginia is not subject
to the two cent rate. To grant the
order which Mr. Leake requests,
without restriction or condition as
to passengers coming south over tho
r. F. 4 p. Railroad from Washing
{ -, would force such passengers 20
buy tickets in that city at higher
rate than two cents a mile, or
would subject them to a penalty
for failure to buy a ticket at the
station, which would increase the
rate to a considerable extent. This
would practically nuiliy the benefits
OF The two cent rate law SO far as
passengers going from Virginia to
the District of Columbia and return
Ing are concerned, as well as passen-
gers from the District OF Columbia
