GRAND

A packed house failed to be amused at the opening of the Selby musical comedy company last night, although some allowance should be made be- cause of the absence of four of the chorus, delayed by the washout near Yuma. All in all the Alpin produc- ton. Women Haters," was presented in anything but the way an expert would have wished it. Good lines = ere murdered. a catchy score flat tened. and chances for comedy made melodramic. There seemed to be a lack of unity in the chorus. It is ex- pected tonight there will be more harmony of action. The redeemable features of the evening was whist ling specially. and some clever Italian characterization. Tonight there will be a dance after the performance The management wishes to announce ,hat prices for the rest of the week will be 10, 20 and 9.

QUIET SUCCEEDS
 IN STOCK MARKET
What Probably Fastened Harrman's
 Return From Europe,

New York, Aug 31-It was evil dent from the outset today that ex- citement and feverishness had died out of the stock market The dull ness Of trading and the narrowness of fluctuations were in strong con- trast with the violence of last weeks movements. Interest is attached to the yelled allusion by Mir. Harri- man in his statement to the interest shown in his welfare by his friends, and perhaps by some others" This passage read in the street in light of persistent rumOrs, means that the re- cent upset in the market was due to underground machinations against Harriman's dominance. and that these developments were as much respon- sible for Harriman's nasty return from abroad as the state of his health. It is expected that the cop per statistics will prove less favor able than for July. The failing off in the volume of copper exports points to such conclusions
 Bonds were irregular, total sales par value. S2,926,OO0. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

COLISEUM

Owing to the fact that the bill did not arrive. no attempt was made to give a regulation vaudeville, but rather a moving picture and illus tratcd song entertainment. The pie lures were good and the illustrated songs never better.
 Tonight the new bill opens with Abdallah and -Nichol, an acrobatic act that has been pronounced good by the best of Western vaudeville critics: Steele and McMasters do a comedy roller skating stunt that is above the average. Westerman, who has had strong comments down the coast, does a finished comedy and singing act, which is bound to please and drive away the blues.

MAJESTIC

Mir and Mrs. Neil Litchfield, in a rustic sketch, were well received. Their character work is effective and altogether new. The old fashioned version of Hiram and Mirandy are left far in the rear and the real up-to-date rural life of Ohio or IlIi- nois is used. Don't miss it, if a real hearty laugh is desired.
 Owing to the failure of a single to appear, Joe Egan put on an even better act than last week, and showed his elocutiOnary powers III fight recitation. The lines are strong, and Joe did his best. which is the best compliment that can he given him.

AT HE THEATERS

The threatening aspect of the weather had little effect on Phoenix show -goers last night. The Coliseum was filled, the Grand packed and the Majestic well attended. Several of the new acts did not arrive owing to the Southern Pacific washout near Yuma This affected the Coliseum the most. The Selby musical comedy company was short four chorus girls. At the Majestic one failed to arrive. The best act of the evening was pre- sentcd at the Majestic by MT. and Mrs. Litchfield. Tonight it is eX- pected that all of the bills will be complete.

VIII Not Be Candidate.

The Herald has it from close
friend of President G. r. Hightowcr
of the State Farmers Union. that
under no conditions will he be a can
didate for governor in the next pri
mary. Mr.. Hightower is devoting
all Of his energies to building up the
Farmers Union warehouse These
matters he holds as worth more than
being candidate for any office.
President Hiehtower IS one Of the
coming men of Mississippi. and the
announcement that he will not be
a candidate in the next election will
be Disappointing to numbers OF his
friends The Herald thinks that

Cheap Protection for Lightning.

As from 700 to 500 people are Kill
led, twice as many injured. and an
immense amount of property destroy
ed by lightning every year, Prof.
Henry. of the weather bureau, thinks
more attention shuld be given to pro-
lection from lightning. The PROBES
sor has recently prepared paper on
this subject, and it has been pub
lished as Farmers Bulletin No 367
OF the United States Department OF
Agriculture. In explaining what
lightning is and how to prevent build
ines from being struck, he has given
an instructive elementary discussion
Of electricity. conductors and non
conductors, positive and negative
identification and electricity in thun-
der storms.

however, which will appeal most
strongly to the farmers of the coun-

EDITORIALS OF MERIT
The Real Rulers of Men.

Possibly after Washington, and in
many respects before him, there IS
no American whose personal char
acter has produced as profound an
impression upon the people of the
age in which he lived as was achiev-
ed by Robert T. Lee
Washington was the embodiment
of active energy and zeal that car

war that established the independ-
ence OF the American Republic.

pitch of excitement and interest that
made them ready for revolution.

great body of the people and brouet

NO NEW" RELIGION NEG
ESSARY.

DIR. Eliot, ex-pesident of Harvard,
announces that we are to have a
new" religion and he proceeds to
give the world an outline of it. DIR.
Eliot says:
at will not be bound by dogma or
creed. There will be no superna-
tural clement 1t will place no re-
lance on anything but the laws OF
nature. 1t viii not be based on
authority. i will not teach that
character can be changed quickly It
VIII not deal chiefly with sorrow and
death. but with JOY and life. 1t will
not attempt to reconcile people to
present ills by the promise OF future
compensation 1t will attack all
forms Of evil It's priests will strive
TO improve social and industrial CON
ditlons."
II so happens that this new reli-
eion is the very religion that Dr.
Eliot has practically monopolized
for lifetime. Its good features
have been borrowed without credit
from Christianity and its immateriat
features need no copyright to pre-
vent their being appropriated

tor, but his prophecies are like other

1ty. district. state or nation, there
are two forces continually in conflict,
striving to overcome or counterfeit
the achievements OF the other. These
are the builder and the wrecker. One
striving to build up and the other
striving to tear down. One trying
OF create and the other just as active
III the effort to destroy. One with a
fixed and steady purpose, and the
other equally as determined TO count
eract the effect OF the work of the
first.
AS result OF the success OF the
second, there comes a third that can
best be termed a scavenger. One
that feeds upon the wrecks made and
the dacay that ensues. Finding no
place with the creator or builder nor
with the wrecker until the result of
his efforts has brought a decomposi-
ton suitable to his liking Best de

would see the great state OF Missis-
sippi come into her own, that the
second and third in this triumvirate
are few in numbers and almost en-
tirely lacking in decency and in
fluence. The great army of builders
has recruited its ranks within the
past few years until no state in the
sisterhood can present more solid
phalanx or formidable array. These
recruits come from every station or
walk in life They come from the
mansion to the humblest home in
the land Their labor is freely given

and generous, willing that the neigh

little or no avail. Their assaults up
on those engaged in the building

way of destruction takes place
Hence the last, the scavenger, i

Now, my dear reader. are you al

Which is it? Are you engaged ii

there should be a hearty and willing

probably too metaphysical ana com
plicated when given in detail. The
simple fact Is that the great general
had gained the absolute confidence
OF his men. He had always lef
them to victory; he had never been
defeated, never been driven from the
field. no matter how great the odds
against him. Then there was his
noble, generous and self-sacrificing
disposition always caring for his
men and always sharing with them
their privations and hardship. This
made them love him.
There was Stonewall Jackson, an
iron man. with no tenderness in his
disposition, no gentleness towards
friends OF. enemies, and one OF the
fiercest fighters III the world. In re-
ligion General Jackson was like the
grim old Covenanters OF Cronweli's
time He was never beaten, and he
had gained the absolute confidence
OF his men. who fully believed that
when he led them to battle it was to
victory, and so they idolized him.

their love for Lee. but no less de-
