1 erent pungency of phrasing, this table talk of MT. Roosevelt's is extraordi- narily interesting. No matter who | happens to be his guest. the president always speaks without the slightest reserve, giving his actual opinions of ! senators, representatives, public men in general, ambassadors, and even for eign potentates. in way that makes ones head swim with astcnishment.
 One might name at least half a dog en persons who are by no means the especial intimates of the president, but to whom, nevertheless, he has blurted out enough of this extremely piquant talk to fill a volume. The eX- traordinary part of it all is that very few, indeed, of those to whom he talks have yet betrayed his confidence. Of course, they tell other people, but only those who, like themselves, can keep these blazing indiscretions from get ting into the pages of the newspapers.
 In few instances, to be sure. table guests of President Roosevelt have in perfect innocence revealed some of his careless words; but then he has promptly enrolled them in the Ana
 
 as though nothing at all had happen ed. Where in Europe there would be issued in some gazette an official de- menti, out president gives out a state ment to the press that the story teller has uttered what he knew to be out rageOusly and absolutely false"
 It is odd that none of the White House servants have carried their masters interesting mots to the news papers, for the president often talks quite as freely in their presence as when he is alone with his invited guests. Some day or other in the distant future many of these inter- esting and very pungent bits of phrase and characterization will be carefully collected and published, but probably not until many men now living shall have died.-Harry Thurston Peck, in 1 the Forum

THREE OF A KIND"
 AT THE THIRD AVE
The New Bill Was FavorabIy Received Last Night.

Kelly and Gamble, with their big musical comedy company at the Third Avenue theaer, showed to a good house with the opening of the new bill, Three , of a Kind"
 The leading roles were played by James T. Kelly, Frank Vack and Lillian M. Massey, and were ably supported by Fred Lancaster, Fred Gamble, Miss Marguerite Favar and Hazel Lancaster.
 The show opened with Miss Inez AL len and chorus in a pretty musical number, Good old U. S. for Mine" ;" and was well received by the audience.
 James T. Kelly as General Stanhope was a success, as he always is in Irish parts, which come so natural to him.
 Fred Gamble and Frank Vack, twin brothers, and Fred Lancaster, who looks enough like them to be another twin, get Mrs. Winters Gillian M Massey, a weeping widow), Miss Som mers (Miss Favar) and Kate Armitage Hazel Lancaster) all twisted and tam gled as to which one is their own. The play is one of the most interesting the company has presented and keeps up continuous roar from start to finish.
 Another of the pretty musical mum bers inUoduced is Take Me Out to the Ball Game" by Miss Hazel Lan- caster and chorus, and was deserving of the vigorous applause it received.
 Miss Lillian NJ Massey as Mrs Win ters made perfect weeping widow" This character is a very difficult one to assume, but to one of Miss Massey's ability it came very easily.
 Mir. Fred Lancaster was deserving of all the applause he received for the classic manner in which he rendered You Are My Life, My own" Mir. Lancaster ranks among the best as pended upon to please.
 "The Queen of the Lemon Tree" is another of Miss Marguerite Favar's bowling successes. and from the en- cores she received not one thought of handing her the fruit from the tree of which she sang Miss Favar stages her own musical numbers. Her beau tiful costumes are imported from Paris for each one
 The bill was opened by a one-act curtain-raiser, "The Wrong Man." inI which Fred Gamble and Frank Vack are the principals, assisted by Miss Hazel Lancaster and James T. Kelly It contains lots of good comedy and pleased the crowd.

We cannot bind them by extra consti- tutional instructions.
 Any member of a legislature will naturally pay heel to the expressed preferences of his own constituents or of a majority of the people of the whole state. As far as this imposes an obligation, it is moral. not legal. It rests with his individual conscience and judgment, under his official oath to determine how far any prediction pledges" shall bind his action. They cannot be enforced on him by any pro- cess of law. Under a representative government there is no new-fangled device by which the people can relieve themselves of the necessity of making choice of fit persons to represent them.

NEWSPAPER TRUTHFULNEss.

Those who say you can't believe anything you see in the newspapers simply talk nonsense and impugn their own powers of discrimination. News paper statements. taken by and large. are more truthful in essential detail than are those of ordinary cOnversa- ton, and the wonder is, not that the papers make so many mistakes, but that they make so few. The hum:!i- ating fact is that newspapers are not very efficient in the way of creating public opinion. In many instances. and often in very important ones. they cannot even ascertain what it is. Good proof of tha statement is to be found in the fact that not one news paper in the country really knows Nho will be elected president tomorr W. and they could hardly fail to do so if the popular determination were mat ter of journalistic creation.-New Y 3 ter of Journalistic creation New York Times.

ADJUSTMENTS

For a pleasing personality, a cap tivating style, engaging manner. fac mating methods and sprightly ways commend us to that little dramatic lodestone, Chic Perkins. whose live ly impersonatfons have won the high est commendations Of both the critic and the press and have been indelibly stamped with the mark of popular fa- yor. The methods of this little lady are widely at variance with the old and hackneyed style of acting, which obtained in the past. The piquant freshness of her renditions are as grateful to the jaded mind. as a spark ling draught of cool water is to the parched and thirsting lip. To see Chic Perkins act is like breathing the soft sweet country air after a long and tedious sojourn in the noXiOus at mosphere of a big overcrowded city. Her new play The Little Prospector' is replete with all the fascinating ele- ments of blended comedy. pathos. and romance-a play in which her genuis finds the happiest expression. No bet ter play than "The Little Prospector'' could have been written to exploit her talents and it has all of the attendant accessories in the way of talented ar lists, splendid scenery and novel stage effects. "The Little Prospector' will be seen at the Elks theater on Tues day night November 10.

CHRISTIAN UNION
 MOVEMENT GROWS

New Orleans, October 11.-At a mass meeting in the Athenaeum tonight Cephas Shelburne of Dallas, Tex, preached to a great audience attending the interna tional missionary convention of the churches of Christ.
 MT Shelburne took as his theme the fact that an inscription was written on the cross of Christ in three languages, and developed from this incident an argument showing how modern churches of all creeds are pushing aside denominational barriers in favor of more intimate rela- tions with each other.
 ''The tone of our preaching is changing from intolerance to tolerance" MT. Shel- burne said. "I remember very well the time when minister of another denom- ination was considered a fair target of any pulpit. Old issues that never were important are being dropped, and there is an increasing sense of brotherhood, and we are disposed to emphasize the things in which We agree. The old segregated church is giving away, and there Is rap idly growing sentiment in favor of Chris tian union. Sermons are losing their ire, sharpness and bitterness.
 We hail with delight the Christian En-
  and interdenominational brotherhoods as har5ingers of this union. Several millions of nr young people are coming to knovs. respect and love each other. They sing the same hymns join in the same prayers and listen to speakers whose denomina- tional connections they neither know nor care to ask.
 Men are crying, To here and To there One says we must find the source of f1.Ilt in a ters about Romanism; another says we must find all the truth in the inerrant book, as it centers about Protestantism; another still says we must accept the en- frightened reason which crystalizes into rationalism-but think we must get back to Him who said, I am the way, the truth and the life" :"
 The night mass meeting was the princi- pal event of todays session of the con- vention. W. F. Richardson of Kansas City addressed a large audience at the Athenaeum this morning.

 The case occupying first place is that of Ainsworth vs. Evans, a mining con- troversy from Arizona, but it will not be reached for several weeks because of number of other cases dealing with ques- tlons in which the general public Is more directly interested which have been ad- Yanced and will receive the courts first consideration.

ROMAN CATHOLICS
 IN SERYIA UNEASY


 Rome, October 1.-The Vatican is pre- occupied with the question of the Roman Catholics in Servia, where they have no official recognition and where they are under the special protection of the Aus trian minister, similarly as the Roman Catholics in the Orient were formerly un- der the protection of France As conse- quence of this position the Servfan Cath oiics may rest under the suspicion of hav- ing pro-Austrian sympathies, and, should the Austrian minister at Belgrade be obliged to withdraw, it is feared in Vat ican circles that the situation for Catho- lies in Servia would become critical. Ru- mors that have been current in some quarters that Foreign Minister Tittoni in- tended to resign because charges had been made against him that he had approved Bulgaria's proclamation of independence, and Austrias violation of the treaty of Berlin are officially denied.

GREAT POWERS WAITING
 RESULT OF CONFERENCES
British Atlantic Fleet of Six Battle ships is Ready to Sail For Malta. Turkey is Kept Advised of All
 the Proceedings.

Belgrade, the storm center in the pres ent Balkan situation has quieted down. After long secret session the national assembly has taken no definite action with regard to making war upon Austria Hungary. The city itself has quieted down, the people apparently realizing that war would mean the destruction of Servian nationality.
 All the great powers are awaiting the result of the conferences which have been going on at London and which will con tinue on Monday between M. Iswolslxy, the Grey the British secretary for foreign affairs. King Edward himself took part in the conferences Sunday when he had as guest at Buckingham palace the rep resentative of Russia, who also is com pletely informed on the French views.
 A dispatch from Gibraltar says that the British Atlantic fleet of six battleships is making ready to sail for the east and the destination probably is Malta, from which place the British Mediterranean fleet sailed a few days ago for the Ae- gean sea.
 Paris hears that Great Britain is keep ing Turkey advised on every step of the negotiations going on between M. Iswol- sky and Sir Edward Grey. in order to make the assent of the porte secure. A final programme, it is expected, will be definitely outlined at London on Monday.

 The opening of the week will find both Taft and Bryan in their own states. For both there have been arranged strenuous trips covering the first two days of the week. Bryan's programme is said to call for quite 50 speeches in eastern and cen tral Nebraska, and he will then proceed to Illinois and Indiana. Taft will speak in big and small places in Ohio; in halls and at open air meetings; from trains and on balconies on the same days that MT Bryan is haranguing his fellow Nebras- kans.
