DRUMMER BOY HITS.
Old War Time Drama Scores Well
With Large Audience.

This old time war drama received
its initial production in the. fifth series
OF presentations in this city at the
New Haven theater last evening be-
fore a good sized and very apprecia-
tive audience.
The story of the play is 80 well
known that no description Of the
piece is necessary. Everyone knows
how the little drummer boy goes to
the war, is captured by the one time
friend of his father while wounded
on the field Of Shiloh, taken away
from the field in violation of all rules
OF what is politely called civilized war;
fare, confined in Andersonville pris-
on pen, and finally shot by the man
who thus ignored the flag of truce
wlich flies over every field of carnage
after the battle.
A. r. Nall, the owner Of the play,
and who takes the part Of Uncle Joe,
is the only professional in the play,
but the acting Of the other members
of the cast was fully equal to that Of
the professional
Miss Mildred T. Richards as Jennie
Howard acted and looked the part
we'll, and her singing of the star
Spangled Banner" In the first act,
received great applause. Miss Edith
May Root, as Matte Howard. was as
near perfection as one may expect to
reach in this world. Much praise Is
due Mrs. Charles ]. Beehler. who
took the part Of Mrs. Elliott on less
than twenty-four hours notice. Miss
Nichols. who was cast for this part,
was taken sick on Sunday, and her
part had to be filled at very short
notice.
All of the male parts were we'll
| taken, and the audience was liberal of
| applause to each and all of them.
Perhaps the greatest applause during
the evening was that accorded to Will
her Il. Jones in the part of Frank
Rutledge, when he was roundly Kissed
in the prison scene when he shoots
and kills Johnnie Howard, the little
drummer boy,
The Drummer Boy will be presented
every evening this week with spe-
cial matinee Saturday afternoon, and
Judging from It's reception and rem
dition will be greeted with full
houses.
A large number of the members Of
Admiral Foote post, G.. A. r.. were
present last evening and lived over
again some Of the scenes which are
now only memory to them.

The primary law requires the number of
legal delegates to the state convention to be cut
down more than two-thirds under previous rep
resentation but despite this fact nearly every
section OF the state was represented
Although this city is on the extreme northern
border of the state Sayre Prohibitionists earned
the privilege Of entertaining the convention
through their remarkably aggressive and success
tul agitation during the past two years, during
which time they have forced both old parties
to unite their forces to prevent being wiped off
the political map at local elections.
National Chairman Charles R. Jones, who for
the eight years. 1896 to 1904, was the Keystone
States chairman heartily welcomed by his

The platform as unanimously adopted reaf-

The Prohibition party of California in con-

takes great pleasure and pride in being able to
present to the voters of this nation the name of
the Hon. Fred F. Wheeler of Los Angeles as
the candidate for President of the United States

Wheelers residence for twelve years IN this
state has clearly demonstrated to us all that
viewed from any and every standpoint, he is
pre-eminenty qualified to fill this POSITION

because of the sterling worth of his character
He is a successful business man, constructive

speaker, was selected for temporary chairman.
Mr. Hall was introduced to a magnificent audi

attitude on the liquor question, and as he pro.

Prohibition party, and the possibilities lying at
the door of the Prohibition party, the audience

and he closed the rafters rang with prolonged
applause. Here just two of the paragraphs:
There has been distress and disaster in the

TAING BUT STAND PAT -ELEC-
TON TOO NEAR

Washington. March 20.-The present
impression in congress is that what
ever may be the demand for legislation
from the White House, congress viii
adjourn about the middle Of May The
leaders say that it is necessary
to adjourn in order that the members
and senators may go back to their
respective states and attend to the
political needs Of their parties tt is
asserted now that the long session
coming just before the presidential
election must not be used for any
other purpose than for the appropria-
tion bills and such measures as per-
haps the employers liability bill and
currency legislation. Eight months
ago when the short session was draw
ing to a close the plea wss made that
the session was too short for the
careful consideration Of the legislation
urged.
How long is this farce to continue? I?
The short session is too short for the
Of laws demanded BY the
people; the long session comes just
before either a congressional or a
election Therefore it is
urged that nothing must be done lest il
affect unfavorable the chances Of the
party in power in the pending election.
For nearly twelve years the republi-
can party has been playing this game
OF procrastination and promising al
ways that something win be done when
the next session should meet. Nothing
has been done; nothing will be done.
The tariff has not been revised, the
railroad question has not been handled
firmly the issues raised by President
Roosevelt, however meritorious they
may be, have not been given attention.
There has been much oratory and little
action much wind, but the ship of
state has not been thereby waited in
to any safe harbor Now the republi-
can leaders plan an early adjournment
without having attended to the busi-
ness brought to their attention. The
one reason for this early adjournment
is that they must go home and attend
to the election Of delegates to the ma
tional convention.
