 The suit of Orwan against Klaw and Erlanger for $500 damages was tried on February in the sixth dis trict court of New York, before Judge Prince and jury. The plaintiff as- serted that he had been excluded from witnessing the performance of "The Merry Widow" at the New Amster- dam theater on the night of December 15 on the ground that he had pur- chased two $1.50 balcony seats from 9 sidewalk speculator. He also assert ed that he had purchased the seats at the theater box office. Judge Prince ruled that the plaintiff could recover only $3, the sum he had paid for the two seats and he instructed the jury so to find for plaintiff. The judge further said that the owners of the ater could exclude anybody they de- sired from their theater. The case was defended by Dittenhoefer, Gerber and James. IT.
 Sallie Fisher, who has sung "Dearie" and half dozen other ballads into best seller ranks, has courage as re- markable as her voice is pleasing. She isn't afraid of the widest auto mobile that ever turned a somersault and threw it's human freight into eternity. Her fame as a motor tanner is as great in some circles as that of her voice in others Last summer motoring party, bowling toward the east end of Long Island, came upon trim car standing apparently owner less in wood. They hallooed through the woods, but there were no re- plies but echoes. At last the owner backed his own vehicle against the red | roadster, with the intention of taking it back to town. Upon which an ap- partition wriggled from beneath the car and flung upward, indignant glances at him. A sweetly sarcastic voice proceeded from the tangle of frowsy brown hair and rebellious blue veil, and unsmiling, intensely serious features, and struggling, muddy shouI- ders. Perhaps you will be good en- ough to tell me what you intend to do with my car," said the voice. "I- really-I beg your pardon-I intend ed taking it to a garage to be adver- tised." You are very kind, but too kind. I intend taking it back to my home." Excuse me-can I do anything?' Nothing thank you" With which the apparition slid back under the car again, and the astonish- cd motorist heard the metallic sound of crank and the tapping of steel upon steel. ''But-er--shan't l lend you my chauffeur?' No: thank you" "Shall I send ma- chinist from Southampton?" "No- thanks" The thanks came from between impatiently set teeth. "I am my machinist." Ten minutes later the red roadster with slender, tousl- ed, blue yelled Sallie Fisher in it passed the sollcitous man with the big chauffeur in the road, giving him defiant cloud of dust.

ETHEL BARRYMORE.

Ethel Barrymore is now ar- nounced as coming to Polls on Feb ruary 19 in new play that is said to put her magnetic qualities keenly to the test. The play is three act comedy called Her Sister," written in collaboration expressly for her by Clyde Fitch and Cosmo Gordon Len nox, and the comedienne is credited with having triumphed brilliantly i'll meeting the conditions that were made to confront her genius by the delft and intuitive pens that Fitch and LennoX jointly wield. Miss Bar rymore's repertoire of past successes more than fill her needs as a popu- lar star, to the content of her astute manager, Charles Frohman, yet her ambition for new plays has to oe ap- peased from time to time. Tn this instance MT Frohman has aimed to tax her energies only to the limit of her physical strength. Prices, 50 cents to $2. Seat sale Tuesday.

ment as to the result Of the primary

Taft forces made practically a clean
sweep in the selection of delegates to
the republican state convention. In
his statement Senator Foraker says:
Nobody should be either surprised
or misled by the result Of the primar-
les held in Ohio yesterday. It has
been common knowledge for weeks
that the call for these primaries was
of such character that my friends
throughout the state refused 20 par

TAFT TALKS in
GRAND RAPIDS
Make Principal Speech on
Lincoln Meeting Where
Are Many NOtables
Argued That Lincoln Would
Have Done as Roosevelt.
in These. Times

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. 12.-
The Lincoln Club banquet here to-
night was q brilliant success, with
a galaxy Of speakers never equalled
in Michigan political banquets. The
speakers were Ambassador Jusse-
rand, Congressman George Edmund
Foss, Secretary Taft, Governor Cur
tbs Guild, Jr., Of Mass, and John
Barrett, director Of the bureau Of
American Republics at Washington.
Although all speakers were greeted
with enthusiasm, it was Secretary
Taft who received the greatest OUT
burst Of applause.
His speech was devoted largely to
a resume Of the Philippine policy Of
Mckinley and Roosevelt, which he
attempted to show would have been
approved by Lincoln were he living.
Secretary Taft continued:
Finally, can there be any doubt
where Abraham Lincoln would have
stood on the issues which peculiarly
distinguish the administration of
Theodore Roosevelt? refer to the
struggle which he and his admins
tration have made for the elimina-
ton from our business and political
fabric Of the corrupting influence Of
unlawful business combinations and
the demoralizing effect OF disobedi-
ence to law by our great railroad
and transportation companies. One
thing that distinguished Lincoln In
all his life was his contention in fav
or Of an equal administration and
protection Of the laws. From the
soles Of his feet through all thai
long frame to the top of his head
he was democrat in the true sense
Of the word and opposed to privilege
and class immunity. He was not tn.
enemy Of wealth lawfully accumulat
ed. He welcomed and encouraged in
ternal improvements and of cours,
cherished the prosperity developed b!
business enterprise and combination
of capital, but he always exalted con
sideration Of every issue of th,
rights Of the individual and espec
ially OF the humber members o
society who were least able to pro
tect themselves, therefore, we ma.
know with certainty that canno
brook contradiction, that in the strug
gle to make all business lawful, t,
take away from corporate combina
tons, illegal privileges and impuni
ties that official Investigations hav
