JUDGE MOON SPEAKS
Addresses Voters of Marion
County in Scholarly Ad-
dress.

JASPER, Tenn, Oct. 3.-Hon. John
A. Moon, democratic candidate for
Congress, spoke here Friday at 1 40 p.
m, to large number of voters. The
Judge made fine address, deep and
scholarly, and his remarks brought
frequent applause from bis hearers.
He opened with a careful review of
the tariff question, which is an i'm
portant one now before the people.
He traced it from its earliest begin
ming until the present day. While he
admitted the republicans said they
would reform the tariff. he declared
little belief that they would adhere to
the idea, if successful in November.
Speaking of the work he had done in
this district, he showed that he had
secured more appropriations than any
other congressman, and had been par
ticularly attentive to the claims of the
old soldiers in his district, and detied
anyone to prove to the contrary. On
this latter point he expressed will
ingness to leave the case to the repub-
lican old soldiers of the district as tc
whether he had done his duty There
has been some campaign criticism pre-.
valent that he was not doing his duty
in the interests of his constituents.
Judge Moon recently refused ir
spirited language an invitation from
John T. Raulston, of South Pittsburg
to a joint debate, and as this is Mr.
Raulston's home county, there wal
I great interest manifested in what the
Judge would say. Mr. Raulston hat
not opened his campaign yet, but be
J gins Tuesday at Ooltewah.

MIGNON IN CAMEO

A big treat is promised to lovers OF
grand opera music next Tuesday night
when Blanche Arral will sing her ex-
cerpts from Ambrose Thomas great
opera of Mignon. Nearly everyone is
familiar with the story of Mignon.
Stolen from her home by the gypsies
at an early age she is compelled by
them to sing in public places for the
money of chance passers-by. She is
rescued by young traveller who takes
pity on her and whom she follows as
a page searched for everywhere by her
distracted father who fancies he recog-
nizes her in the young gypsy On his
inquiry as to where she lived and from
where she came she sings the plaintive
romance. The balance of the plot then
begins to unravel. After the cantabile
Nine. Arral takes the part of Philine
and renders the famous Polacca, with
which she has created such a furore
wherever heard. This will be with the
other items the greatest program ever
offered to a Honolulu audience.
