One Continuous Laugh.

/ The famous farce, THE New

Theater last night, advertised as a
laugh producer was certainly all
that was claimed for it. The farce
lasts about thirty minutes and Gre
ates one continuous roar of laughter

The Judge (Kenedy) is a very

tenor.
When the opera season was finished
In New York Caruso went on tour
and the woman went to London. There
the tenor was to rejoin her. Later,
however, she fell madly in love with
the tenor's chauffeur. but when Ca
russo arrived in London for the opera
season she went to live with him.
Caruso was at that time negotiating
for the purchase of beautiful place
at Nice Caruso had to remain in Lon
don for private concerts, and the wo-
man went to the Florentine villa, but
to Nice. taking with her jewelry to the
value of $4,000.
Caruso went posthaste after the fugi-
tive. He obtained possession of his
two sons, but failed in his efforts to
induce the woman to abandon the
chauffeur.
1t is said that Caruso, in his despair.
appealed to the legitimate husband of
the woman. asking him to interpose
his conjugal authority and convince the

Advices from Rome add a piquant
touch to the tale. which recalls an
episode in Daudet's "Femmes OAR

kidnapped by her own husband, who
for several months had been a member
of the Caruso household disguised as

was sitting at a table with friend at

the Place de POpera, perhaps the

The friend demurred, but Caruso

dom was that the yoke of the Republic

south at the close of the war. At that
time the men of Lees army were re-
turning home defeated and penniiess.
Congress had said that these men who
had been fighting for their country
and had returned to penury should be
ostercized and not allowed to vote

the newly freed colored men.

that the feeling between the races is
largely a matter of time. 1t is the sur

Governor Cummins is said to be
anxious for the place himself and 1t is
thought he controls the legislature
sufficiently to warrant his appoint
ment to fill out the term of the late
senator and he has on several occa-
turning this appointment over
to the legislature. This. it is
thought. will be the simplest means
out of the difficulty. The radical
Cummins' men declare ii depends up
on the attitude of the ''stand-p atters"
whether the state shall be the scene of
a bitter contest. but insisting that if
they cease fighting Cummins and con-
cede his election to the senate there
will be no trouble this year.
They say it is the governors turn
and that the time has come for cessa-
ton Of the fight against him, which
has characterized the politics of Iowa
for the last seven or eight years. They
point out that nearly one-half of the
voters of the party Endorsed the gov
ernor for senator against Allison. They
declare that further opposition to him
for the senatorship will be disastrous
TO the party at the fall election. Some
of these radicals say it endangers the
legislative ticket and others insist that
the danger may include the whole
ticket.
on the other hand is the extremely
radical standpatter, who insists ii is
the duty of Governor Cummins not to
be a candidate for the succession for
the reason that it will endanger the
success of the Republican ticket from
top 70 bottom.
They say that in some of the dis
tricts even before the death of Senator
Allison, radical standpatters were de-
handing of legislative candidates that
they pledge themselves, in writing

never to vote for Cummins for sena-
tor. With this situation these extreme
standpatters insist that the state may
go Democratic unless Cummins gives
up the idea of going to the senate.
Conservative adherents of the fac
ton regard these views as overdrawn

former Governor William Larrabee
will be the man. Some, however, be-
lieve that the governor will name

man and his most intimate friend.

Committee Will Not Change 1t to
Auditorium.

The committee which is managing
the Bryan meeting which will be held
in Topeka Thursday evening refuses
to have the meeting in the Auditorium.
The following Statement of facts"
has been issued:
We were surprised that Mr.. Frank
S. Thomas would try to create discord
in regard to the place of holding the
Bryan meeting next Thursday. Now,
the facts in the case are these: The
announcement that Mr.. Bryan would
come to Topeka caused the Topeka
Bryan club to appoint a committee to
arrange for the meeting. raise funds
with which to pay expense and do
such other things as was necessary to
make the meeting a success. The
after completing careful outline,
presented it to the Bryan club. Aug
ust 10, and by a unanimous vote the
report was adopted. This report car
ried the statement that the meeting
would be held in the fair grounds. Mr..
Thomas was there but raised no
objections. The committee also re-
ported that the Auditorium had been
secured for the meeting in case of bad
weather.
A few days later Mr.. Thomas came
out with a statement that the fair
grounds were low. damp and muddy
and said many other things about it
that were not complimentary. 1t was
an unusual statement for a citizen of
Topeka to make IL he has any in
terest in the city. We think the Fair
association would resent such a state
ment. The fair grounds are well
located, has a good dry road from the
entrance to the grand stand, two
minute street car service can be had.
which Is better than at any other
point in the city. The street car COM
pany has made specially Of ar
ranging to handle large crowds at this
point.
The grounds will be amply lighted.
A platform will be built for Mr..
Bryan to stand on while he speaks.
The seating arrangement and the
standing room will enable 10000 peo-
pie to hear Mr.. Bryan. At no other
place can this number be accom-
modated.
Mr.. Bryan does not object to speak
ing in the open air. He spoke on the
evening of the twenty-first from a tenn
porary platform in the ball park at
Des Moines.
Tho committee having this matter
In charge has usurped no authority
The arrangements were mostly COM
pleted before the county central COM
mittee was organized and that body
has nothing to do with it. The in
dividual members of that committee
are members of the Bryan club and as
through the committee on arrange
ments for the Bryan meeting.
There is no occasion for words
about this meeting. The Bryan club
appointed the committee and the COM
mittee has followed instructions.
Let any one who has an envious
malicious statement to make turn his
face to the wall and blush for shame.
The evil effect of malicious statements
can never be wholly eradicated and
for that reason all people should be
very careful about making statements.
Assuring the public that we regret
that you have had to listen to any con-
troversy about this matter, we
are, yours very truly,
