Hackett leading woman in 1.-The Right
of Way" at the Majestic theater, fell
heir upon her entrance into the world
We have heard of the Drews, the Bar
rymores, the Irvings and the Booths,
but compared to Miss Hackett's record
of the historical and unique other stage
players family trees are peculiarly
modern. Miss Hackett bears the dis
tinction of being a direct descendant
of John Alden, who so thoughtfully
provided our much-loved Longfellow
with a basic theme for his immortal
story-poem of John Alden and Pris-
cilla," and incidentally gave to the
world that proverbial phrase, why
don't you speak for yourself, John?"
Next in the world of famous ancestry
is General Warren of revolutionary re-
nown, who is recorded among the
archives at Washington as a close rel
ative of Miss Hackett's parents.
General Warren was one of the most
picturesque characters in the great war
against England, and the Bunker Hill
monument now marks the spot where
he fell, MORALLY wounded, after an as
sault upon the entertainments of the
the Revolution, and her eligibility to
General Warren, Miss Hackett was
made a member of the Daughters of
the Revolution, and her iegibility to
the exclusive circles of this organiza-
ton is of sufficient authenticity to
cause even the original members of the
First Chapter to feel the instincts of
feminine envy. Polly Warren, the
same Polly Warren about whom we
read in the old brown histories of our
school days, was Miss Hackett's great
grandmother.
Miss Hackett was born in Wareham,
Mass, the present home of the War
rens, a few months less than twenty
seven years ago, and her family crest
is surmounted by two coats of arms.

TWO STOCK DEALS.


Sherwood Took Floods Boast and
Lstsr Handed IT Back.
In Joseph L. Kings History of the
San Francisco Stock and Exchange
! Beard is this story of Flood and
Sherwood:
In the early days, in the seventies,
quite a number of operators would
gather together in Cahill's Office on
Montgomery street. near California.
Among them were Mr.. James C. Flood
and Mr.. Robert Sherwood. Sherwood
had 1900 Consolidated Virginia, the
stock selling at about 500. One day
Sherwood, on looking at the prices,
remarked that he was getting tired Of
that Consolidated Virginia; it did not
move much. Mr.. Flood said: What
are you growing about? II you are
tired OF that stock I will take 1t off
your hands at $780, "Sold," said
Sherwood, and the stock changed
hands.
In course Of time the Nevada bank
building was erected on the corner OF
Pine and Montgomery streets. On
meeting Sherwood one day Mr.. Flood
remarked, I'VE built that Nevada
block on the profits Of hat 1000 shares
of Consolidated Virginia you sold u.s."
Subsequently, In the Sierra Nevada
and Union deal, MIR. Flood approached
Sherwood ON the street and bought
from him 5000 Union at 5000 a share,

A mistake of this sort came rather unexpectedly to light in my cir

A few days before the wedding the bride-to-be called up this girl

So. If any Of you happen to have been left out by some n whom
you fully counted your good friend, suppose, instead of at once con-
demning her and making up your mind never to forgive her. you take
my advice and give her the benefit of the doubt.

LOCAL OPTION MAN
 WINS BIG VICTORY Blease Carries South Carolina For the Governorship FOUGHT BY THE PRESS All But Two Newspapers in the state Take Arms Against Blease But
 Ills Organization Proves
 Too Powerful
FOUGHT BY THE PRESS

Columbia, S. C.. September 1S.-With over 5000 votes out of a possible 11000O votes accounted for. returns from the second primary indicate the election of Cole E. Blease of Newberry. local option ist, for governor by small majority, over C. c. Featherstone of Laurens, statewide prohibitionist. W. w Moore of Barnwell is safely in the lead for adjutant general. For rail- road commission. G. McDuffie Hampton Of Columbia holds a 4OO0 lead over James Canser of Tirzah.
 In the Second congressional district James Byrnes of Aiken and J. o. Pat terson of Barnwel. incumbent, are run ming neck and neck, with Byrnes 8 votes in the lead. The vote still to be heard from, however. may change the result Tn the Sixth congressional district J. E. EHerbe of Marion, incumbent, leads P A. Hodges of M4rlborou by HOO, with prospects of increasing his lead.
 The vote as tabulated at midnight shows:
 For Governor-Blease, 4s,7S7; Feather stone, 45,S77
 For Adjutant General-Moore, 63,354 Richardson. 29,97.
 For Railroad Commissioner-Hamp S,419; Cansler. 45,95S
 For Congress, Second District-Patter- son, incumbent, 571S; Byrnes, 5676.
 Sixth Observation-Disclosures incumbent, 775s; Hodges 6676.
 The vote today hinged largely on the personality of the two candidates for governor rather than their stand on the liduor question. Following the first pri- mary two weeks ago. in which the com bined vote of the two local option candi- dates for governor, Blease and Mcleod exceeded by more than 10,oo0 the vote of the three statewide prohibittonists Featherstone Richards and Hyatt, lead CTS of both factions issued statements declaring that the liquor question had beon settled by the voters in favor of local option.
 Tn the interval between the first and second primaries, the press Of the state made a strenuous fight upon Blease. at lacking his record as a legislator attor- rev and even as a private citizen. Every daily and all but two weekly newspapers of the state were aligned against him. Yet with this almost solid opposition of the press Blease had an organization which did effective work at the polls Tn every county.
 Ali but a few members of the legisla- ture were chosen in the first primary. It is generally conceded that the local optionists have a small majority in the senate. thus precuding the possibility of the preesnt liquor laws being materially changed.

CAUSTIC COM MENT
 BY JUDGE PARKER

New York, September 1s.-Judge AL ton B. Parker, democratic candidate for President in 1904, took occasion again today to comment on the democratic victory in Maine and on other matters that appear to him to loom large In the political field of the day.
 "The dream of a permanent presi- dency with MT. Roosevelt in the chair said Judge Parker has long haunted the pillows of his many followers as well as himself They have seen as through a glass-darkly, the workings of a new nationalism when the exec utive power shall become the steward of the public welfare, and an inde- pendent Judiciary, passing its judgment on principles instead of men, shall be no more.
 "Then, too, shall the good trusts re- ceive the presidential blessing with as surance that there will be no hostile successor to transform iVinto curse. Many steps have been taken to that end by Garfield, Pinchot and others upon the leadership of their chief, who but recently returned from a triumphal tour in behalf of the propagation of the new faith There seemed to them | to remain but one more step to reach
 the goal--the capture of New York with Roosevelt for governor. To smash the republican machine and then ride over it to overwhelming victory. Aye, that indeed captured the imagination for then would all the east sur render.
 MT. Hearst saw the picture, too, and | for some reason was pleased With It. So, he rendered his support and all will agree that he made tender of
 great value. But will MT. Roosevelt dare? Aye, that is the question. Yes- terday he would have dared but today -ah. that Is different.
 Maine has spoken and the voice
 must be analysed before risking this precious cargo with the voters of New | York.
 "Will he dare? It Is an old saying | Never prophecy unless you know
 do not know but my guess is that he
 will not dare"
