JACKSON'S

Something so far a departure as to bring fresh vitality into the function of negro minstrelsy is said to have been accomplished by George H. Prim- rose. whose triumphant entry into a new field of black face comedy and pictorial effect ought to fill Jackson theatre, formerly Smiths on next Monday evening. The feeble attempts in days gone by to lift minstrelsy out of the fn-de-siecle despondency 1t reached when the old timers began to wane and disappear, was tolerably ludicrous, though well meant, and only now, after years of fumbling has one of the survivors and he is about the Attest, made stunning base, for George Primrose and his great Min strel Company are this year credited with about as exceptional and bril- liant an entertainment as could pos sibly be gotten together with money and brains. Money has been spent in large bundles it is said on this year s production and it is safe to assume local theatre-goers will be treated to a genuine surprise in both talent and production-in fact the name of Prim- rose has never been identified with anything but the best in minstrelsy and in this years production far sur passes himself. The sale Of seats opened this morning.

 Hurricane, the fastest trotting os- trich in the world, is the headllner. He is 10 feet high, weighs 400 pounds and besides being one of the largest is the fleetest footed of his race. A live os- trfch is a novelty in this section, but one of these mammoth birds harnessed to a sulky, driven like horse, and covering the ground in strides of from 12 to IS feet, is surely novel specta- cle. Hurricane will try for a record up and down the trail tomorrow after noon and again in the evening.
 Another new feature tomorrow will be the performances of Prof. worm woods Dog and Monkey circus, in charge of Miss Wormwood. These lit tie animals do many amusing and skiuful tricks and please the young and. old alike.

 Those citizens who appealed to leg 1slators at Hartford to enact some kind of a. law which would prevent the use of traction engines on the hiehways are likely to meet With ais tappointment. Men well versed in the law say no such statute can be passed or if one should get through the courts would annul it by deciding 1t te@be unconstitutional, on the ground of discriminating legislation against class. This is forbidden by the gener- al law. It appears that traction en- zines have come to be regarded as necessary in several kinds of business. The N. T., N. H. & H. R. R. for instance, uses them frequently for hauling dirt, stone, heavy loaos or during the next five years the state win spend some fifteen million dollars on it's roads, and the intention IS 10 have a. trunk road running through the center of every town in the state. Many of the contractors who are en- gagged in building these roads use tractiorfs engines for hauling crushed stone. gravel, sand etc., and to force them to go back to the olo SLOW ana ana carts would be both costly and slow For these reasons no bill is likely to afp through at HaT tford restraining TEse use of traction engines.

Another rather too lengthy diserta
tion appears elsewhere from F T.
Maxwell. state organizer of the So
cialist party. who defends the party
against criticisms that have ap.
peared in this paper There is no
difference of opinion between So
cialists and their opponents on the
proposition that there are great
wrongs under the present system.
The difference arises when Socialists
suggest that in order to cure those
wrongs. We must have such an over
turning of affairs as will mean revo-
luton and chaos, politically. indus
trially and socially. with depraved.
criminal and rapaeious human nature
having an upperhand during the
period of reformation. as it always
has in such times There is a wide
spread and wellfounded belief that
the evils complained of can he cured.
or held in check. without such a
catastrophe.-Mr Maxwell protests
as others have done against the
charge that Socialism stands for
free love" because some Socialists
have preached and practced it. He
says il would be as consistent to de
clare that the Republican party
stands for agnosticism because Rob
ert G. Ingersol was recognized
leader of that party Mr. Maxwell is
in error lngersoll did not preach
agnos;icism as Republican doctrine.
