MR., AND MRS. DAY
PLEASED AUDIENCE
CHARACTER IMPERSONATOR
OF RARE ABILITY.
Gave Several Excellent Selections
Ably Assisted BY Wife as Flo
CutiOnist-LdSt Number of Mems
Club Entertainment Course
Fair Sized Audience.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

A fair sized audience assembled at
the Turner opera house last evening
to hear Elias Day, the pleasing char
acter impersonator, and his talented
wife AZ an elocutionist. 1t was
the fourth and last attraction
of the Mems club entertainment
course. What was lacking in num-
Der WIS., made up in an appreciative au-
dience. AS an impersonator, Mr..
Day is sn artist and The Leader can
unhesitatingly say that he is one of the
best before the American public today
and doubts if he has superior. He
gave several character representations,
performing the makeup for the same
before the audience. Perhaps his
best and most entertaining effort was
the lmpersonation of the German no.
bleman, a graduate of Heidelberg IN
iversry, IN response to toast, 1.-The
ladies'" which he changed to "Our
Mothers. There was both humor
and pathcs and kept the audience IN
an uproar at times and at other mo-
ments, left lmprints that touched the
heart strings. His makeup was per-
iect, as WAS also his dialect.
Mr.. Days Swedish impersonatiun
was also clever indeed and could be
appreciated, especially by those &C.
customed to. living in northern Wiscor.
sin. His impersonatlop Of the old
man as a story teller was great sue
cess and kept the audience in a con.
tinuous round of laughter, as did also
his impersonation of the ArkansaW
preacher, and his other efforts.
The impersonatcns were intersper-
sed with we'll chosen selections by Mrs,
Day, who is an elocuuionisu of rare
ability. Her articulation is perfect,
her gestures were with ease and she
appeared as graceful as a queen.
The charming little entertainer alst
favored the audience with several vo
cal selections. They closed theil
successful entertainment with littl,
comedy playette that pleased the au
dience immensely.
With the close of the Mems clul
entertainment course, The Leader
wishes to congratulate the member
of the club upon the success of thei
course and compliment them upon thu
excellent choice of entertainments
They have all been of a high and ele
waiting order and it is to be hoped tina
the encouragement in the way of pat
ronage has been sufficient to spur. then
on to favor Watertown with anothe
course for the next season.

BRIEF PARAGRAPHS.

BRIEF PARAGRAPHS.
The streets of our cities are filled
with idle men and "soup houses "have
been established to keep them from
starving, all because factories have
been forced to close down and cor
poratlons curtail expense, caused by
the senseless fight on legitimate
enterprise.
1t coats only $50. to kick United
States senator out in Colorado. The
prices out there are exceedingly high
for any kind of physical enjoyment,
and yet, it may have been worth that
sum to the man who did the kick ing.
Since she got good look at our
fleet Japan is becoming almost affec-
tionate.
Mr.. CorteIyou insists that we have
$120, 900, 600 more money than we had
a year ago. But you can't feel in
your pocket and find it.
Wait for Lewis Nixon's new ships
chat will fly awhile and then dive.
Senator TilIman objects to the
government issuing notes to get money
to loan to New York banks and then
paying the banks interest on them.
If Andrew Carnegie really takes a
fancy to you, he is likely to hand you
million most any time.
Gov. Hanley of Indiana, says Feir-
banks is presidential winner. In
drama produces lot of humorists.
A sheet of flame 1926, 900 miles high
as seen to shoot up from the sun.
Somebody there must have been
lighting the fire with kerosene oil.
The southern papers seem to oe
interested only IN keeping the nation
reminded of the fact that the sena tor
from Kansas is in no way related to
the jefferson Davis of history. Mr..
Davis has passed into eclipse.
"A learned professor announces
that by using radium, lady may be
kept young and beautiful at least a
hundred years longer than she Can
without it," says the Chicago Record
Herald. We suppose this insures
another hundred years of the present
supply uf dear old chorus ladies'.
Messrs. John Sharp Williams and
Davis De Almond have made it all
up, and probably love each other
now AS much as they never have be-
fore.
When every sin is righted. and
there's nothing more to probe, what
shall we do to entertain our Mr.. Will
liam Loeb?
Harry Kendall Thaw, after a year
and half in the Tombs, has begun
to grow soul,' says a New York
contemporary. Thought those Critical
writer's were to be barred out this
time.
Mr.. Bryan is proceeding in proper
way to bring about harmony in the
Democratic party. HIS lately devei-
oped love of duck hunting doubtless
raises him greatly in the estimation OF
Mr.. Grover Cleveland.
Considerable mirth has been in
dulged in because George AIDE is en-
ardent supporter of the Fairbanks
boom. But no doubt Mr.. Fairbanks
figures that it is better to have the
support of a successful humorist than
that of a dozen pessimists.
The Arkansas Democrat says "Bry-
an is the favorire aon of the United
States" Strange that the United
States hesitates to put its tavorite
son On the pay roll.
A Dover, Del. man married his
mother-in law the other day. 1t
looks like good example he has set
other widowers, but mighty few are
going TO follow it.
Strange that SO many aspirsnts
persist in nursing their buoms even
after the President has predicted
chat Mr.. Taft will be nominated on
the first ballot.

PROTESTS AGAINST TWO
TELEPHONE FRANCHISES
FAX Payer Says Business is a Nd
ti0naI Monopoly and One is
Enough.
70 the Editor

To the Editor of the Wincheste,
News:
] am a citizen and tax payer. OF
Winchester and as such am opposed
to the sale of another telephone fran
chise. The telephone is a natura
monopoly and should be treated as
such. Two telephones in city are
a double tax on the citizens. The
City Council should grant a single
franchise and should take care in
that franchise that the company re-
ceives a fair return on its investment
and, on the other hand, that the cit
liens are protected against exhorbi-
tant rates and poor service.
1t is alleged on the part of the
East Tennessee Company that i
should be given a franchise because
It can give outside connections that
the Old Kentucky cannot This may
5e true now, but | have heard that
month or more ago, the East Ten
nessee contemplated leaving the local
field entirely and that there were ne
gotiations on foot to have the Ole
Kentucky handle all outside bust
ness. This is done at many points If
Kentucky and at other places. An
arrangement like that would obviatt
a double tax on the merchant and
would secure to all the best service
that can now possibly be given by the
two companies.
1t is not question between the
two companies. As a citizen | care
for neither of them. But for the in
terest of the city, the Council should
hesitate long before it grants the
franchise under consideration now.
1t is the duty of the City Council to
act for the citizens, not for either
company.
A franchise saddles two companies
on Winchester for twenty years, Why
not now prevent this, and protect the
interests of this city.

JURY IS SECURED
To TRY ERB CASE
Two Women VIII Make Self
Protection Their Defense.

Media, Pa, Dec. 80. = Much more
progress than had been generally an
ticipated was made here in the trial
of Mrs. Florence Erb and her sister,
Mrs. Catherine Beisel, indicted joint
ly and separately on the charge of
numbering Captain ]. Clayton Erb at
his country home, Red Gables, last
October. The jury has been selected,
many Of the talesmen being chal
lenged by the commonwealth be-
cause they admitted that they either
did not believe in capital punishment
or had conscientious scruples about
sending a woman to the gallows.
District Attorney MacDade made
the opening address to the jury, In
which he said the commonwealth will
endeavor to prove that the defend
ants murderously plotted the death
of Erb. That Mrs. Erb and not her
sister fired the fatal shots, he said,
would be shown, to be the most plaus-
ible diagnosis Of the crime. He ridi-
culed Mrs. Beisel's defense that she
wrested the revolver from a man as
healthy and strong as Erb and In q
struggle had shot him to save herself.
Self-protection is the defense of
the two women, both of whom, their
counsel said, would be called to the
stand to testify in their own behalf.

THE EARTHQUAKE.

< The greatest disaster of modern
times seems tp have overwhelmed
parts Of Southern Italy and Sicily.
The latest reports show a fearful
loss of life. 1t is estimated that TO-
900 human being have been killed.
And Of ceuse, untold millions of
property have been destroyed.
Whole towns and cities seem to
have been RACED to the ground. And
a great tidal wave and the equally
fatal fire seem to have trod on the
heels of the earthquake to complete
the devastation.
when San Francisco was over
whelmed, the whole Nation stood
aghast and yet less than 1000 lives
we're sacrificed in that catastrophe.

leyadng the distress.
The dreadful trouble in Italy does
not touch us as the. misfortune at
home did, and yet the National Red
Cross Society has sent out an ur-
gent appeal for help and undoubt-
edly much will be contributed in mon
ey and supplies to aid the survivors.
The sad part of the whole catas
trophe is that no human wisdom can
guard against its repetition. Since
the burial of Pompeii, 1000 years
ago, Italy has suffered more from
earthquake and volcano than per-
haps any other part' of the world. In
the last sixty years alone, the Italian
Kingdom records the loss of over
100000 lives from these causes
alone.

from w. l. Buchanan, the special
commissioner to Venezuela, received
at the state department, indicate that
he has taken steps to get in direct
communication with the officials of
that government with the view to
taking up the work with which he is
entrusted.
He is expected to discuss freely
with the new government establish

on the character of his report the

be based.
Reports of fighting on the Venezu-
clean coast between the adherents
of Former President Castro and

prise at the state department, where
it is said that collisions of this
character were not unexpected, Presi-

throughout the country who no doubt
are loyal to him.
