CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.
CONTINUED from Page L.

posed Of Durand Houston, E. Parch-

G. Martin. The Chairman of the Con
vention was empowered to appoint a
Congressional Committee composed of
two members from each county, and
five from the district at large, who
shall nominate an elector for this dis
trict and congressional candidate.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported strong set of resolutions in
which a "Redeclare our allegiance to
the principles of the Republican party,
and reatfirm our devotion to the lead

Morton, and we feel the party has done
more than any other nation and his

the republic, regardless of race, color
or previous conditions, but of all man
kind throughout the earth; that we are
of the opinion that the time has not
been reached when it is to the best in
tcrest of the nation for the Republican
party to go out of power, and we call
upon every citizen who loves the po-
litical institution under which we live,
to advocate and support the Republi-

test.
THAT we are deeply in the faith that
permanent Republican party can not
be built up in the state of Tennessee
and in this district unless the Repub-
lican masses are permitted to control
affairs of our party instead of the of
fice-holders, and we deplore the his
tory Of our party management not
only in this state and district, but
throughout the South for many years
past; that we condemn the pernicious
activity of otfice-holders in politics in
the South, and we declare that said
activity on the part of the office-hold-
ers, with the exceptions of a few con-
gressional districts, had made Repub-
lican organizations in the South a.
mockery and farce. and but for the
bold violation of law by the Office

DAIRY FARM. !"

Next week Poli's own stock com pany will give an elaborate produe- ton of Dairy Farm" at the Jacques every afternoon and evening. The play is a beautiful rural drama Of simple life and plain. natural people. The contrast with the romantic of- fering of last week will be great and will show the versatility of the diff ferent members of the stock com pany. The scenes of the drama arc laid in a small town in New York state where everybody leads the sIm- pie life and acts perfectly natural
 The story is simple. but powerful. and throughout the piece are mo- ments of strong dramatic effect
 There are comedy characters to amuse and also a sentimental strain which brings heart throhs and also tears. The different members of the company will have splendid roles and the production should prove to be one of the most interesting of the season. It will be produced under the personal supervision of Harry O. Stubbs. On Sunday evening the big benefit concert and entertain ment 10 be given under the auspices of St Joseph's T..

While other managers and other stars are producing and play ing in important dramas, Mir Harris and Mir Edeson remain firm in this respect, and the result has been that they have jointly been responsible for the production of typical Ame-i- can plays of the highest form Classmates" is essentially so since it depicts life at our national mili- tary academy, and it is in addition full of the spirit of youth and whole someness. MT Edeson has a splen- did role as Duncan Irving, south ern cadet, and his support is excep- tionally fine. including Paulina An. thony. Marjorie Wood, Maud Grang- CT. Wallace Eddinger.

PINES ARE PLENTY.
Season for Preserving Will Soon Bs
 Here.

Pineapples are earlier than usual this season and the first consignments are from Florida. Growing this luscious fruit has become a great in- dustry in Florida within a few years. While in Florida pine is not very large 1t is a very fine fruit.
 Years ago the first pines came from the West Indies and several New Haven vessels were engaged in bring ing them into New York These craft for the most part were the small two masters. many Of them running In the oyster trade in spring and fall. Now most of these West Indian pinespples come here by steamer.
 The Florida pine is greatly sppre- dated hy the New Haven housewives for preserving. While this is not the height of the season. the season viii soon arrive when pineapples will be the cheapest of the year and then t VIII te time for preserving.
 Just now the market is pretty ueli supplied by Flor5ia pines. Tbey are of very good quality this seasou and the rrices win son be reasanstis.

THEATRICAL CHATTER


A report that Julia Marlowe and John Drew were to star together next season in Shakespearean pro- auctions has been most enlphatically denied by the managers of both.

 So great has been the success of Miss Rosa Barnes, an American sing CT, who has been in China for several years singing American songs, that she has been re-engaged by the man. agement of the Arcade theater, Tien- tsin, China, for an indefinite period to sing American songs.
 Fl: :. The Actors National Protective union at it's convention in No 8 Union square, decided on May 13 to disband all organizations of non-residents. That means the breaking up of the organization of foreign chorus sing CTS which ordered a general strike in the Metropolitan opera house two years ago. Delegates were present at the convention from New York city, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston. St Louis and San Francisco.

 William H. Crane has announced his determination to retire from the stage when his present play, Father and the Boys" shall have outlived its usefulness. He will continue in this piece all of next season, com mencing at the Empire :heater late in August, and perhaps for still an- other season. He is now 63 years old, and not as strong in health as his appearance indicates. This sum mer Mir and Mrs Crane will go abroad.

 When Lee Tung Foo, the Chinese baritone, first made his appearance on the vaudeville stage of this coun- try, theater-goers considered him a phenomenon and freak more than legitimate singer and the wiseacres said that there was probably not an- other of his class in the world. But now from Tientsin, China, ny way of Dorchester, Mass, comes d second Chinese marvel, phenomenon, freak, or call it what you will, in the shape of Fong Gan Chow, who possesses a clear, sweet, cultivated vuice that would do credit to many of the oc- cidental singers. h..

James German managed, after good deal of hard work, to pick out about sixty promising youngsters, and the rest went away filled with disappointment.

 It is said that some of the infiuen- tial members of Tammany Hall are in favor of selling the property on Fourteenth street and erecting 6 larger and finer building further up town. Real estate men have beeh after the old Wigwam for some time and it is probable that it will be torn down to make room for a big office or factory building. If this happens Tony Pastors theater, which occu- pies part of the structure, will have to go. Harry Sanderson, in speaking lof the rumor few days ago, said that he knew nothing of the matter except what he had read in the pa pers. MT Pastor is not disturbed over the report, and it is quite cer- tain that if he is obliged to move he will have new house in a better location, and will keep his name above the door, as he has continu- ously for the past forty-three years.

 The lodge of Eagles at Fort Smith, Ark, has taken the prelim- mary steps looking to the building of theater. It appears that the project has been under way for some time, and all that was needed was the financial backing. F A. Ball, one of the members, recently re- turned from trip to the east, where the men with the money are, and reported to his fellow members that he had successfully interviewed capi- talists, who said they would be will ing to put up the money for the building if their agent made favor able report. The agent visited Fort Smith, and according to local paper, his report was "gilt edged" so, as result, Fort Smith will have a new building of which it will be proud. The plans have already been drawn, and call for a ground floor theater with balcony and gallery. The building will be five stories high and will have an elevator, a rath. skeller, two stores, three floors for offices, banquet hall and kitchen, club and lodge rooms, Turkish baths, bowling alleys, and last, but not least, roof garden.
