The Last of His Race" the great
Russian drama as produced by the Al
V. Mills company at the Kentucky

audiences that the Kentucky has
seen for a long time. The COMPANY

ever visited the city at popular prices.
The cast is well balanced and the com
pany thoroughly capable of producing
the higher and better class of plays
of which their repertoire consists. To-
night the attraction will be MAN s
Humanity" In this MIR. Ralph Nc
Donald will be seen at his best, as
superintendent of the great Krumpton
Iron Works. The play deals with
capital and labor.

that these beggars are regular ven

secretary was hurried to the first Con
gregational church where he ad
dressed the Woman's club for an
hour. Returning othe hotel, Taft
devoted some time to the revision OF
his night address, and was whirled
away to the Auditorium.
The secretary entered the banquet
hall arm in arm with Governor Shell
don to the strains of Hail Columbia,
the banqueters rising and sending up
a salyo of cheers.
At the close of the banquet speeches
were made by Governor Sheldon, VIII
liam A. White and others. Secretary
Taft had the last address on the pro-
gram and was greeted with cheers
which lasted fully five minutes, when
he rose to speak.
"The issues of the next campaign
are to turn on the achievements of
the Mckinley and Roosevelt admins
trations, which still remain that sub
ject for discussion between us and
our Democratic friends, or rather be-
tween us and the gentleman who still
seems to have the power of leading
the Democratic party against its viii.
We are to accept not what the Demo-
cratic party. as it used to be, thinks
on any issue. but what Bryan thinks
on every issue. as real basis for the
national campaign to be ended by the
election in November next. Because
Bryan still keeps alive the controver-
sizes which many Democrats are con-
tent to regard as settled, we have to
go back and discuss matters which
the verdict of history, properly inter-
preted, ought long ago to have ended"
With this opening Taft entered
upon the discussion of various topics
treated by Bryan in the past. He de-
voted a large portion of his address
to the Spanish war and its result. es;
pecially with reference TO the Philip
pines. He applauded and defended
the course pursued by the Republic
cans in these matters. He, pointed out
the impossibility of avoiding our re-
sponsiblities in the Philippines which
came to us as one of the results of
the war, aud which passed into our
control by the provision of the treaty
of Paris, which Bryan assisted in
having approved.
Taft cited many new laws passed
by the Republican congress and ap-
proved by the Republican administra-
ton, which have been of great benefit

BILL TABLED IN THE SENATE

Washington. April with only
one vote recorded against II by Lit
alefeld. of Maine. the house under
suspension OF rules. passed the Sterl-
ing employers liability bill, after A.
minutes debate. In brief the bill
establishes the doctrine that railroads
engaged in interstate commerce are
liable for personal Injuries received
by employees in the service of such
carriers.
II abolishes the strict common law
rule of liability which bars the recov-
cry for personal injur yor death of an
employe, occasioned by the negligence
of fellow servant. II also relaxes
common law rules which make con
tributory negligence a defense to
claims for such Injuries. A provision,
however. diminishes the amount OF re-
coyery in the same degree that the
negligenc of the injured one contrib
uted to the injury. The bill further
makes each party responsible for his
own negligence and requires each to
bear the harden thereof.
The bill as passed by the house was
transmitted TO the senate later in the
day. and on motion of Senator Dolll-
var laid on the table subject to being
called up at any time. Senator Dolli-
yer explained that the bill is quite
similar 10 measure reported TO the

bolivar contemplates asking the
senate to agree to take up the bill at
an early day. He will probably move
to substitute the senate measure for

will then leave TO conference the
task OF agreeing upon compromise

The house bill is much more sweep
ing than the senate bill. as II applies
