The closing republican rally of the cam.
paign in Ellsworth will take place in Han
cock hall next Saturday evening.
Senator Eugene Hale and Hon. C. G
'Fairchild, of New York, are to be the
speakers.
No meeting Of campaign is just like
this last-night rally when Senator Hale
speaks. For many years, and with
scarcely break, this has been the custom
and while essentially political meeting
it is also familiar and serious talk of thi
senator to his friends and neigh bors, re.
gardless of their political beliefs. He never
fails to make profound impression.

Sketch Of the Man Ellsworth Pro-
poses to Send to the Legislature.

Sketch Of the Man Ellsworth Pro.
poses to SEND to the Legislature,
John A. Peters, the republican nominee
for representative to the Legislature from
Ellsworth, was born in Ellsworth in 1854
He graduated from the public schools and
fitted at the high school for college, and
entered Bowdoin college in 1881, graduat-
ing with Phi Beta Kappa honors in 1885.
He Immediately col menced the study OF
law with the late Chief-Justice Wiswell
and the present Justice King, and was ad-
mitted to Hancock county bar in 1887, at
the same time being admitted to partner
ship with Messrs. Wiswell and King un-
der the firm name Of Wiswell, King &
Peters.
In 1883 he went to Bar Harbor and took
charge OF the Bar Harbor end Of the firms
extensive practice, remaining there until
1888, when he removed to Ellsworth, where
he has since practiced law.
In 1898 he was appointed Judge Of the
Ellsworth municipal court, and has been
reappointed until the present time.
Mr.. Peters has been connected with
having been trustee OF the Bar Harbor
Banking & Trust Co., Of the Merrill Trust
Co., of Bangor, and he has been success
sively director. vice-president and presi-
dent Of the First national bank OF Ellis
worth, now the Union Trust Co., . re-
rmarkably successful institution with
total assets at the present time of
q 10000.
Mr.. Peters has always been actively in
terested in business and affairs where
labor could be employed, and few men in
Ellsworth have been larger employers Of
labor. With four other gentlemen, and
later with three others, be assumed the
burden Of carrying on the Union Shoe
Manufacturing Co., realizing no profit and
keeping the business going as long as pos
sible with benefit to nobody except the
people OF Ellsworth. About a hundred
hands were usually employed at this
factory.

still president of the Ellsworth Hardwood
Co., now and for many years past employ
ing soms forty hands, and paying out q
large amount Of money in the channels
most needed.

and incorporated, and furnishes steady
employment to some twenty hands, with
Mr.. Peters as president.

RUFF TRIAL NEARS
CLOSING SCENES
On or Before Friday Indicted
Boss Will Know His Fate
Under the Law

Abe Ruef enters today on the closing
chapters of his trial and this week he
will know his fate as decided by the
jury-the penitentiary brief re-
spite for another trial.
Only two witnesses will be called
by the prosecution this morning-An-
drew Wilson and G. H. Umbsen. The
opposing lawyers have promised to de-
tain them but 10 minutes. and then the
arguments will be begun. 1t is be-
lieved that there will be no defense
witnesses.
Assistant District Attorney Francis
j. Heney will open with speech that
may take the major part of the day.
Henry Ach will reply. and Attorneys
Murphy and Chapman may take hand
in the arguments. The closing will be
by Heney
Judge Dooling has placed no limit
on the length of the arguments and
will probably not interfere unless 1T be
necessary to do so in order to keep
his promise to the jury to end the case
by Friday, May %. Day and night ses-
sions will be the order, court being
called at $50 each morning and con-
tinuing until. nearly midnight
AS the case now stands against Ruef
conviction seems inevitable unless,
through some technicality of law, some
of the evidence of the supervisors shall
be ruled out on the theory that they
were accomplices. This is not deemed
probable for the reason that the con-
trary was held in the Ford trials.
The prosecutions case against Ruef,
as now before the jury, is a complete
chain of evidence connecting the Park
side company to the supervis ors, with
Ruef as the central link. From the
one end the money has been traced
10 n traction
pany from its president, J. E. Green,
and through it's go between, G. II. Umb-
sen, direct to Ruef Beginning at the
other end the bribe offer has been
followed from the supervisors. who
held up the franchise at Ruef's sugges-
ton. then to Gallagher and through
Gallagher again to Ruef.

THROWN FROM CAR
AND LEG BROKEN
DR.. G. G. Scatarone Is BrutalIy
Elected by Burly Conductor
and MOtOrman

DR.. G. G. Scatarone of All Mont
gomery avenue, a physician at the
French hospital, was thrown roughly
from the rear platform of a Sutter
street car at Jones street by the mo-
torman and conductor at $3.50 o'clock
last night following an alteration
over a transfer, and his right leg was
broken by force of the fall.
He was Immediately taken to the
central emergency hospital, where the
police were notified and took steps to
arrest the car crew. In addition to
the fracture, DR.. Scatarone sustained
many severe bruises and was badly
shaken up.
Indirectly, the quarrel grew out of
recent rules of the company requiring
that all transfers must be punched by
the issuing conductor before they will
be accepted on other cars. DR.. Scata-
rome paid his fare and asked for an
uptown transfer. When it was given
him he called the attention of the
conductor to the fact that it had not
been punched as required.
The conductor, according to people
on the car, made an offensive retort.
DR.. Scatarone speaks with a Slight for
eign accent, and the carman is said to
have pretended he could not under
stand, and threatened to put the physi-
clan off the car. Finally he called the
tor and, dragging him to the rear
platform, threw him to the ground
He struck heavily on his leg and the
bone snapped. The car is said to have
started forward leaving the physi-
clan helpless in the street until by
ISLANDERS came to his assistance and
summoned an ambulance.

ARMS AND MAN"
IS CLEVER COMEDY
Play at Novelty That Would
Convict the Detractefs of
the Show
CAST OF CHARACTERS
In George Bernard Shaw's comedy
Arms and the M am

III you are an admirer of George Ber-
nard Shaw's plays, gather all his de-
tractors, you can find-there Will be
much available material-into gigan-
tic theater party and take them to the
Novelty theater this week to see kath-
crime Grey and her estimable company
present arms and the Man" By the
time the final curtain has fallen your
original detractors will be begging you
to form a Shaw promotion committee
with headquarters in Union square.
That is the kind of comedy that
Arms and the Man" is. 1t was pre-
sented for the first time in San Fran
cisco last evening and luck was with
1t, for it appeared under ideal circum-
stances. 1t is different sort of play
from our old Shaw friends Candida"
and Mrs. Warren's Profession" 1t
has no tempting bumps of connubial
paradox or socialistic propaganda to
attract the hammers of the gentlemen
of the old school drama. 1t is fun from
curtain to curtain, with romance
plenty. and when the romance becomes
mushy all hands turn around and mock
their own sentimentality.
Major Sergius Saranoff (Robert War
wlck) epitomzes the spirit of the
comedy when he says, Every thing I
think is Knocked by every thing l do.
The. play speaks for itself from the
shelves of every well conducted library
it will be found in the pleasant"
volume of Shaw's plays Pleasant and
Unpleasant''-so the actors are entitled
to all available space in a review.
Katherine Grey is the crowned
martyr of the cast in this respect-she
placed Miss Katharine Emmett in the
leading feminine role, Raina Petkoff,
and cast herself as Louka, the maid
The coronation of Miss Grey comes in
the success she makes of the smaller
part. Miss Emmets role is a difficult
one, but she handles it in beauty
grace and sang froid. Miss Grey took
the lesser part because it was the role
she played in the original Mansfield
production of the comedy, and also to
graciously give Miss Emmett a chance
which is splendidly accepted. Miss
Grey's physique and vim well fit her,
too, for the spirited. independent warm
blooded servant girl. All the men are
adroftly placed in the cast Harrison
Hunters acting in the first and third
act is wonderfully amusing comedy
But review of the cast would simply
be a reiteration of adjectives of praise

NINE. MORIcHINI MAKES HIT
Italian Singer Delights Orpheum
Audience With Grand ArisS

Madame Mauritia Morichini, who heads this
weeks bill at the Orpheum, was a pleasure and
a disappointment. Although stage hands care
fully spread carpet lest her feet touch the
common boards of the stage she succeeded in
walking over some tender memories when she
essayed TO sing Home, Sweet Home" She
failed TO rouse a single thrill such as an artist
OF lesser voice but better understanding OF
English and the sentiment of the song would
have brought forth. That was the disappoiut-
ment. In her singing OF Italian grand oDera
arias Nine. Morichin more than made up for
the Sweet Home" Her Caro- Nome from
Rigoletto" was superb, and after the last note
had died away storm OF applause broke forth
which threatened. though II did not bring forth
an encore. The jewel song from Faust and
the barearolle from 0fenbachs Tales of Hoff-
man. were well received

FULLERTON NOT TO
JOIN HIS SON HERE

The expectations that r. III. Fuller
ton, millionaire lumberman anN father
of Robert w. Fullerton. who tgts ar
rested in Seattle on a charge Cd S,bdec
tion preferred in New York, and who is
trying to secure his release on -habeas
corpus proceedings. would join his son
here have not been fulfilled.
Alfred Sutro. one of the attorneys
representing young Fullerton, declared
that he had received a telegram from
the father in st. Louis yesterday and
that the senior Fullertons plans did
not contemplate coming to San Fran
cisco.
Should the decision of Judge Seawell
go against Fullerton it is probable
that the father will meet the boy over
land on his way to New York. but
pending that decision he will take no
step.
The attorneys will submit their
briefs to Judge Seawell this morning.
but there is little expectation of
decision being handed down for at
least four or five days. Fullerton pere
has given his son carte blanche orders
to fight the case to a finish and has
declared. according to st. Louis dis
patches. that the affair is nothing but
an attempt at blackmail.

DOCKSTADER SHOWS
AN|MATEDCARTOON
Minstrel Appears as Wielder of
Big Stick in ''DulI Day at
the White House"

An animated cartoon is the best thing
in the Lew Dockstader minstrel show
which opened yesterday afternoon at
the American theater for a weeks eX-
ploitation of the laughably ridiculous.
Imagine a newspaper cut, framed by a
proscenium arch and having action,
noise and other signs of life, and you
have "A Dull Day at the White House,
with Dockstader himself as the wielder
of the big stick. 1t is an active car
toon and includes some pat local hits
that take well and a few national and
international touches-references to
Hartman and the Japanese and to other
strenuous incidents that are as much a
part of the equipment of the political
cartoonist as are his pen and ink and
drawing board.
Although the sun was shining at
tractively outside there was a long line
of ticket purchasers at the box office
of the American in the afternoon and
the house was well filed with minstrel
lovers, many gray heads, veteran fol-
lowers of the black face art, finding
seats well TO the front. While a show
girl show may attract bald heads, a
girlless minstrel show is a magnet to
the white thatch, 1t would seem. And
the house was thoroughly amused.
The stage setting for the opening
part was incrusted with topaZes and
rubies the size of automobile radiators
and looked worth $1,000. The faces of
the musicians and the vocalists were
not polished ebony, like those of Dock
stader and Neil O'Brien, the other end
men, but were finished in dignified an
tique oak dressing.
Dockstader was greeted like an old
college chum when he appeared, and
he showed his modern spirit by crack
ing lively lot of jokes on the visit of
the fleet. O'Brien was the second best
favorite of the day, with a sad tale of
life along the Banana Ma" canal and
roughhouse afterpiece.
There was a pretty military piece
with clever drill work called "Reveille
at West Point" and songs, ballads and
jokes, only one of which could start a
blush among the women patrons

PERFECT RECOVERY
Is DUE TO CUTICURA

"With the exception Of his hands and
feet, my son Clyde (thirteen years Odd

eczema. Physicians treated him for
nearly a year without helping him any.
While they were very kind and did all in
their power, yet nothing seemed to re-
lieve him. And / had tried many rem
edies sent to me by kind friends but they
all failed. His head, face, and neck were
covered with large scabs which he would
rub until they fell of. Then blood and
matter would run out and that would be
worse. Many q time he looked as II
his ears would drop of. Friends COM
ing to see him said that il he got well he
would be disfgured for life.

Concerning Proselyting

No Unitarian ever tries 20 make pro-
selytes Our task is not to destroy
faith or to swerve any mans BELIEF.
To those who are happy in and made
strong by the orthodox faith, we have
no word to say But to those whose
faith has gone, whose ideas have
changed, who can no longer accept the
belief of their own churches, who do
not find in the old thought of religion
any satisfying and oul-strengthening
force, we have a definite and a splendid
message to give. These paragraphs are
designed for the man who needs this
new faith. If you are conscientfously
happy and helpful where you are. they
are not for you.
