MRS TEMPLES TELEGRAM"


 Mrs Temples Telegram" the up- roariously funny and mirth provok- ing farce comedy, will be presented at Polls this evening. Although one of the greatest successes in London during the past few seasons, the play is a farce comedy of the American school. It was written by Frank Wyatt and William Morris and, while 1t depends upon absurd situa- tiones for it's humor, never are the bounds of probability exceeded, while in addition to this fact, the lines are exceptionally brilliant. The com pany engaged in the presentation of the popular comedy this season is said to be by far the strongest yet sent on tour by Messrs Charles H. Small and Thomas Hall the mana CTS, and includes besides Miss Lavinia shannon number of other players of national repute. Prices 25c to $1.50. Seats now on sale.

of domestic slavery among the natives has
in no way hindered the agricultural de-

the contrary. the natives have made with
the European property owners contracts
for work or agreements. subject to ratif-

have led to a far better division of labor.

THE SPECTER REMAINS.

1t is interesting to note in today's
dispatchs from the seat of the repub-
Iican national convention that there
is yet a grave fear that President
Roosevelt will be renominated at the
convention which met in Chicago az
noon today.
Newspaper readers will remember
that some weeks ago Senator Albert J.
Beveridge was selected by the national
committee as the temporary chairman
of the big convention. but that when
the national committee learned that his
speech which. under the program was
TO be at the opening of the convention,
was to consist largely of an eulogy of
President Roosevelt. the invitation to
Mr.. Beverage to be temporary chair
man WAS withdrawn by the national
committee and his plan to stampede the
convention to the rough rider was
nipped in the bud.
committee choose Senator Burrows ana
judging by Mr.. Burrows speech today
lie was given a qiuet tip upon the
line of talk the national committee ex-
pected from its temporary chairman.
A speech in a republican convention
which neglected to mention a republi-
can occupant of the White House would
be unique, to say the least, and Senator
Burrows seemed to have solved the
problem by his reference to the presi-
dent in concluding paragraph.
In his speech today he praises the
executive, not for any great acts of
craftsmanship. not for any of the things
which have made him popular with the
people, but for his determination not to
accept a nomination for a third term,
The effect of this remark will be to
impress upon the delegates the ex-
Pressed determination of the president
NJ: 10 lun again, with the idea of
course. that should a stampede be at
tempted the delegates will have before
them the plain assertion of the presi-
dent that he will not accept another
nomination. With this strongly i'm
pressed on their minds many of the DEL
egates would feel that for him TO
do so now would, in a measure. he a
breach of faith and would weaken his
hold upon the electorate.
But despite Senator Burrows AMI tho
ha'lonal committee il is generally felt
