called visit he paid TO the senator one
Sunday afternoon shortly before his
death, when The latter spoke Of death
as something from which he had moth
ing to dread.
tRedfield PROCTOR said Mr.. Foster
"came honestly by those qualities OF
mind and heart which were the source
Of his power, strength and greatness
qualities which he inherited from a
noble mother. No one who was familiar
with his character and career could ques.
tion his title to Leadership. Never from
him was there the slightest suggestion
Of the proverbial 'insolence Of Office He
had keen sense OF the exalted posi-
tions with which he was honored, but

ity which accompanied them than by
the dignity and authority with which
he chaneed to be clothed.
"As colonel Of his regiment, as Gov.
ernor Of his state, as secretary of war,
as United States senator, he was the
same plain Redfeld Proctor. He was
the spirit of democracy incarnate. His
was a life Of service. This is the key
10 his character. He was serving his
country at the head of his regiment at
81. In all capacities he was the public
spirited citizen and the faithful public
servant, jealous Of the rights and watch
full Of the interests of those he served
"He was seyeraly practical. His voice
was seldom heard in debate. But while
he laid no claim TO oratory. when he did
speak, as when he described TO the SEN
ate the conditions he found In Cuba, he
displayed in high degree the very es-
sense of oratory. II was his great exer-
utiye ability and his sound common
sense that made him the power he was
in the council chamber Of the nation
He was one Of the true sons Of Yer.
mont. He loved her hills and valleys;
he cherished her history and her tradi-
tions. And no higher tribute can be
paid to his memory than the simple
truth that the state is better by reason
OF his life, his character, his career"

In Reply to President ROOSe-

DENIES IMPROPER ACTION
In Turn He Accuses Executive with
Malice, Misrepresentation, Falsih-
cation, cowardice and Several
Other Things.

Washington, d. O., Jan. l1.--BefOre a
iarnmed chamber Senator Tillman read
speech today denying President Roose-
velts charges that he had used his Of
fidial position for private benefit and
that he lied to the Senate regarding his
participation in Oregon land transac-
tions. BE accused President Roosevelt
Of personal malica misrepresentation,
faisi6cation, cowardico, contempt of Che
Senate and violation OF the law in the
use Of the Secret Service. Senator TILL
man demanded the most searching in
formation and invited a comparison Of
his private life and public work" with
that Of Roosevelt or any other man.
"An examination of Roosevelt's letter
TO Senator Hale" he said "Will show
that the charges, boiled down, are two,
first, ha promotes me to membership in
the Ananias Club and charges that have
deliberately lied to the Senate; second,
he charges that have exerted my off,
cial influence and worked as q senator
for private benefit atone"
Continuing he said, "In my public
work / have not hesitated 10 oriticise
Roosevelt and have doubtless given him
good cause TO seek revenge. ! have at
various times araigned him for disobe-
shence TO law, neglect of duty, particul-
aYly in the case Of Mrs. Morris for brutal
crHsl conduct against a helpless woman.
] was not aware that these darts Of mine
had quivered in the executive hid and
stung him so, but the eagerness with
which he presented the case against me
indicates that President Roosevelt en-
joys getting even with Ben Tillman."
After referring to the department of
iuAtiee's failure to bring suit to re-
store the Oregon land grants to the pub
lic domain, 1illman fired this parting
shot: "The man who announces to Com
gress that he, Theodore Roosevelt, as
surned the right to permit the steel trust
to absorb its greatest rival contrary to
law would doubtless not hesitate at his
dear friend Hartman holding two mil-
lion acres Of public domain because Ben
Tillnaan has contemplated and wanted
xo buy l,l4O acres. Now he, from the
eeaster Of the stage, compiacently looks
To the American people and Senate to
approve that verdict calmly and will
gladly abide by it.''

"DAMON AND PYTH|AS"
 A FLATTER|NG SUCCESS THE TEMPE LODGE COVERED
 ITSELF WITH GLORY The Play Was Presented to a Large and Appreciative Audience.

It would be difficult to imagine a
 more flattering success than that
 scored by the local Knights of l Pythias in their presentation of the play, Damon and Pythias," at the | Goodwin Opera house Friday even 1 ing. The house as has been pre- dicted, was packed. Every reserved seat was taken, and 150 extra ones were placed in the hall expressly foi' the occasion.
 Of the play itself, it is hardly nec-
 essary to speak, for probably every
 one knows the story upon which the order of the Knights of Pythias Is | founded. Briefly it is that Damon, a senator of Syracuse, had incurred the ldispleasure of the newly selected
 king, Dionysius, and by him is con- demned to death at sundown. He begs for a respite of but four hours ] in which to say farewell to his wife and child and the request is grant ed by the king, upon the condition that Pythias, the close friend of the condemned senator, take his place in
 the dungeon. Damon meets with diff ficulties on the trip and just as the headSman'S axe is raised to execute his friend who has taken his place he staggers to the place of eXecu- tion, out of breath from running to
 save his friend. This act so pleases the king that his wrath melts and Damon is pardoned.
 The part of the tyrant king was taken by J. O. Mullen. As the three stars of the evening, MT. Mullen as the King, G. NJ. FriZell, as Damon and c. G. Steele as Pythias, shared almost equal honors. All three were
 especially fitted in every respect for their respective parts. Other knights
 in the cast of but slightly less prom
 thence were B. H. Scudder, G. "A. Goodwin, Carl Gustafson and c. P
 Mullen. In addition to these men tioned, there were perhaps q dozen
 or more who took the parts of sold iers, senators, etc.
 Of the lady members of the case,
 Miss Quinn was especially suited for
 the part she played and her delinea-
 tion of the character was a most
 satisfactory one. Hermione, wife of
 Damon, was ably taken by Mrs.
 Henry Sandoz and little Gillus San dog, as the child of Damon and Her
 mione. played the part in a manner
 that would have done credit to one
 much older in years. Mrs. D. H. Mc-
 Donald as Arria, the mother of Ca
 lanthe, took a part a trifle less inn
 portant than the other two, but one
 that was very essential to the thread of the play. Her work was as near
 perfect as could be desired.
 As might be expected, there were
 times during the performance when
 1t was quite apparent that the play
 was being presented by amateurs.
 but on the whole, the production was a highly commendable one. It went through without a hitch of any kind and showed the result of much care
 ful training and a great deal of hard work
 Much of the success of the under taking belongs to J. O. Mullen, under whose management the play was
 given. The lodge, however, is like
 wise much indebted to the reading
 critic, Dr. R. H. H. Blome and the
 stage director, R. NJ. George.
